1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Diary episode. Here's the thing.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: to you from wherever I'm living or traveling to at

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: the time, so I'll share with you what's going on

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: in my world. From book tours, animal encounters, delish meals,

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: nature adventures, health discoveries to swimming in hidden Byron Bay beaches.

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: Come with me as I share my adventures with you. Hello,

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: Welcome to a LA Diary episode, coming to you from

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: beautiful Los Angeles. I have my morning coffee in hand,

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: having a little swig now.

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Lola coffee. Of course.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: I think this is the fifth LA Diary episode, but

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I've been here five weeks. I'm

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: sure I recorded a diary like when I landed on

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: late Tuesday and I ask something, so like, I feel

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: like I'm at foreign half weeks now. So in this episode,

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: I'm just going to turn my little volume up in

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: my headphones. In this episode, oh much better. Basically I

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: run through what's happened in the last week in Los Angeles,

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: and on the Monday episode it's an interview based episode.

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: So Monday just gone. You had the incredible Elias Black

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: who's legend. He's also on Netflix's Byron Bayze right now,

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: but he's a model, surfer, boxer, all round legend, earthy

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: virgo and has a really cool voice. So I'd highly

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: recommend if you're into dialects and voices like I am.

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: It's a fun one to listen to because he's got

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: this really cool low register. And then the Friday episode

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: is like this diary app and I just bring it

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: to you from wherever I've been and whatever I've been doing.

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: And then.

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: Next Monday episode we have an incredible Australian guest, Hugh

32
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: Van kylen Berg. I'm a mega fan of this human.

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: I've read both of his books, so I'll make sure

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: that next Friday I do a double book review so

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: that we cover both of his books. I think I've

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: touched on them both in previous Diary episodes, so I'll

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: do a condensed version of both of them, sir, because

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: like they kind of feed into one another, but you

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 2: don't need to have read one to read the other.

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: And then today we'll be doing a book review of

41
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 2: the wonderful Kemy's book. Her episode came out a couple

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, so yeah, let's dive into a little

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: taste of Los Angeles this week.

44
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm just getting my if you can hear me moving

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: away from the.

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: Mic, I'm just getting my acting diary because I've gone

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: back to acting school. Although it's very different to what

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: I did last time I was here. This is improv school,

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: and so can you hear my notes. It's a very

50
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: different ballgame to like scene study and more dramatic, theatrical

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: based acting. So this is probably where a lot of

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: stand up comedians would start. I would say, and I

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: have my first class on Saturday, and it was petrifying

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: but awesome but fun. You do it in a proper theater,

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: really interesting when you go into the class. In other

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 2: classes I've done in Australia and in America, you kind

57
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: of sit there and you start pretty quickly, or you're

58
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: quietly preparing your scene, or the actors that are going

59
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: up are in the space setting the scene. Whereas this

60
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: they pumped up the jams straight away because think about it,

61
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: like a stand up comedian is going to be performing

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: at comedy clubs and so that's going to be the vibes.

63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: They kind of get used to that straight away. There's

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: a lot of theater sports games.

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: But what I'm really.

66
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: Excited about is to learn these like integral improv rules,

67
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: and so I've started to learn the basis of them.

68
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: I think I should totally do a diary episode where

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: I sit down and go through like improv rules with

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: you because I think it's so fascinating, and then we

71
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: do I think I just said, like heaps of theater

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: sports and this really cool body warm up switch I

73
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: will one hundred percent use for all of my acting

74
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: stuff moving forward, whether it be a dramatic scene or

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: a more comedically toned scene. I would also be using

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: these warm ups one hundred percent if I was hosting something.

77
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: So I'm learning so much stuff.

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: It is pet frying, though, because at one stage they

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: got us all to Sandy Circle, and one at a

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: time we had to sing and dance, and of course

81
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: like I can't sing, I'm tone deaf, and because I

82
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: was on the spot, oh my god, I got so nervous.

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Like I literally froze.

84
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: I had no all I could say was Backstreet Boys,

85
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: and then I totally forgot the song.

86
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: So that's probably the one that I was like, I

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: want to get out of here.

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: I definitely had that feeling wobbly legs, all that kind

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: of thing, but it was so worth staying to be

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: training improv. So I'll just give you like one of

91
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: the rules today. So one of them is yes and.

92
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: So basically, if an actor comes into the scene and

93
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: tells you a story like we're in an amazing zoo

94
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: right now, you can't block, you can't say no, you

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: can't but and you can't disagree, so you go, yeah,

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: we're in an amazing zoo right now, and the elephants

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: are purple, so they have to go with you yeah,

98
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: And then the scene partner will look at you and go, yeah,

99
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: the elephants are purple and their tails are stripey. So

100
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: whether you believe it or not, you're in there and

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: you have to like support and agree with and kind

102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: of like So it's this concept of yes and and

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: I love it, Like it's just a really nice way

104
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: to look at things and look at even business meetings

105
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 2: and stuff.

106
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: It's like being really really open to receive.

107
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: And we do a lot of games for listening because

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: you need to be so in tune with what's going

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: on in the scene. So yes and and you'll see

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: a lot of comedians talk about this technique, so that's

111
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: really cool. Lots of cool warm upy kind of games

112
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 2: like zipzops app And I know if anyone is comedically trained,

113
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: you'll be like, I know zipzops app, I know mine,

114
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: met Ah, you know, I know the five four three?

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: Do you want to shake out like people are gonna

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: know these? But zipzops apps cool. You stand in a

117
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: circle and you're literally sending like you know, you clap

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: your hands and send a zip to someone across the room.

119
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: Then they send a zop and then there's a zapp.

120
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: But as it speeds up and up and up and

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: you get into doubles, it gets really really hard, so

122
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: it could go zip zip zapps ap zops up and

123
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: you've got to be really and it gets faster and

124
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: faster and faster. It just kind of gets you in

125
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: tune with your ensemble. Anyway, so much fun and I

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: really really really enjoy just learning it and having. For me,

127
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: it's just adding this more to my skill set. Do

128
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: I see myself being a stand up comedian, No.

129
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: Way, Jose.

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: I'm also not a night owl like other than if

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: I was called onto a set and ask to be

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, in a night should of course you do that,

133
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: but like the idea of like going around and performing

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: at clubs and I it's just not my I probably

135
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: sound really like, you know, up myself saying that I'm

136
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: just not really a night and I'm not like a

137
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: clubby kind of person. Also, the thought of just standing

138
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: on stage and like doing a doing your bit and whatnot,

139
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: whereas I'm more interested in a bit is like a joke.

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: By the way, I forget that.

141
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: I need to make sure I explain terms because I

142
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: only learned what a bit was because I was listening

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: to SmartLess, the Jason Bateman and Willa Nett podcast heaps,

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: and they kept going on about bits, and I was like, what,

145
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: there is a bit. It's like a joke, a planned joke,

146
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: or like a gag, and so like, I just don't

147
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: see myself standing on stage like going bit after bit

148
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: after bit. But I think I see myself kind of

149
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: in the sitcom world or like part of an ensemble

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: and maybe having a quirky or slightly comedic role. So

151
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: that's why I'm doing this training, because I'm dramatically trained,

152
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: Like I figured out, this is like my fifth year

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: straight of training, fourth or fifth year straight or probably

154
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: hit fifth year soon kind of thing, like I'm at that.

155
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: So I haven't done any improv training, which is why

156
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing this. So it's a six week course and

157
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: then I'm I've already reached out to other schools to

158
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: hopefully get their intake after this course ends. But I

159
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: try to do one course at a time because it

160
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: is quite immersive and you kind of like like there's

161
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: homework for every week. So I've been doing my homework

162
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: and doing it with mates, but also doing it with myself,

163
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: which is kind of cool and fun. Okay, in prov school,

164
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: that's what I've done. I've joined a yoga school. So

165
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: I live in an area called Los Phelss or Loose Felice,

166
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: which means I think it means happiness or happy, so I.

167
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Can walk to this yoga studio. It's unreal.

168
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: It's called Yoga Vibe and it's in a little house,

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: so they literally have guarded the house and you're practicing

170
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: on the floorboards of what would have been the living room,

171
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: which I love. I've done an amazing hype with my

172
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: mate Sam in Topanga, which so Tobanga is kind of

173
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: like near It's like Santa Monica Mountains but near like

174
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: Calabasas and not quite Malibu, but kind.

175
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: Of in that vicinity.

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: So it's about with no traffic early in the morning,

177
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: like a forty minute drive from me here, like and

178
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: kind of like.

179
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: The I said that, am I the east side.

180
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: I have no idea what side, but there's like east

181
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: and West la and I think I'm east side, whereas

182
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: like obviously all the like Observatory in the Griffith Park

183
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: and the Runion those hikes are more super super close

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: to me, so.

185
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of nice to go for a drive.

186
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: We also found this cafe afterwards called The Pedlar in Calabasas.

187
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: I tried my first ever chuggachino. It's a thing here.

188
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: I had no idea, but basically, you order like a

189
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: regular coffee or latae cappuccino, whatever you want, and then

190
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: they add this thing called chugachino to it. So I

191
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: think it's chugga mushroom, rashi, cinnamon, and monk fruit. It

192
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: tastes delicious like I taste. It felt like I was

193
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: having a chocolate smoothie. It's deer though, like two chuggachinos

194
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: on a base of almond milk costed us like twenty

195
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: six dollars forty, so you convert that to ossie, that's

196
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: gonna be like thirty five forty bucks. So chucka Chinos

197
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: are great, but they are retreat I have tried some

198
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: other coffee, so I might give you quickly like the

199
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: coffee stuff I've tried. I had a really yummy almond

200
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: latte yesterday from Maru.

201
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: That's an amazing coffee shop.

202
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: If you ever be lost fearless, it's definitely where i'd

203
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: go for, like if I wanted that like really great,

204
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: Like in Australia, we're so sport, we have such great coffee.

205
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: So Mara, I got really yummy almond lata and they

206
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: sweet with a littis Stevia, so no sugar. I've been

207
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: seeing on Insta all the debate around like oat milk,

208
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: oat milk versus other milks, and like some oat milks

209
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: being really high in nasty fats and sugars. So I loved,

210
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: I love, love, loved like the creaminess and sweetness of oatmelk.

211
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: But I have tried to make that switch to armand now.

212
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: But I'm sure there'll be like a healthy oat that

213
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: will come out eventually, for sure, I tried another coffee.

214
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: I went for a walk with my mate Sarah Stay

215
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: in Silver Lake and we had.

216
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: A cold brew.

217
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: And so cold brew was just like imagine having a

218
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: batch brew in Australia, but it's cold and on ice

219
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: and it's like clumbs in quite a big I just

220
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: realized I still have some leftover, and I put it

221
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: in the fridge. Yes.

222
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

223
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: We went to a place in Civil Lake called Cafe

224
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: Sito Organico, so I'm guessing it's an organic cafe. It

225
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: was really yummy, really fresh, really, so that's kind of

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: going to be my drink for sure in the summer.

227
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: It's not quite summer yet, though I've been submitting myself

228
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: for auditions. I got one callback. It was voiceover base,

229
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: so I just had to record, like the way I'm

230
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: recording to you guys right now.

231
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Food.

232
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: I had an amazing nice Noois salad yesday with Sam

233
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: at a place in Los Veellas called Figario Bistro. It

234
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: is a French place, but the salad was amazing. It

235
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: wasn't overly expensive either. I'm starting to like not stress

236
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: about cash, but skeing really aware that like I'm living

237
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: off Australian dollars in America, and our dollar is obviously

238
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: not as strong. So just trying to make like really

239
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: savvy choices now with the way that I spend. Yeah,

240
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 2: so I've submitted myself to auditions. I'm just trying to

241
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: check that I haven't missed anything here.

242
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know.

243
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this. I'm like, do I tell

244
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: you this? Do I not tell you this? I'm going

245
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: to tell you because we're all friends here. But I

246
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: have my first general this week with an agent. So

247
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: in America you have an agent and a manager. In

248
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: Australia usually the one person does both things. So I

249
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: have that. They've asked for headshots, actor resume, press kits, everything,

250
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, shit, I mean timbers, I don't

251
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: really have an actor resume, so I've kind of like

252
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: been working on that this week, got all printed off,

253
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: so I've got that tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous, but

254
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: I'm also so just excited to learn and see where

255
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: they would see me sitting as an actor. So I'm

256
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: going to go in and ask for representation as an actor,

257
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: a TV host, and a voiceover actor. So in Australia,

258
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: I as you know, like I've got an amazing team

259
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: that I work with on all La La Berry stuff,

260
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 2: but they don't really do my acting stuff. I've got

261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: a different manager for that. But like even just last week,

262
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: I got an email back going, we can't get you

263
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: any roles, like you're not the right demographic to be

264
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: getting roles right now. And I'm like, okay, And this

265
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 2: is why I'm me now, like because I want more opportunities.

266
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: So I am just like literally here, I'm going to

267
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: take as many generals as I can. I'm just like

268
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: ready to try and get representation and then hopefully be

269
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: in audition rooms. I'm on the online casting websites. That's

270
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: how I've been submitting myself for auditions. But you just

271
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: it's a lot of sifting through, Like there's a lot

272
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: that a like must be comfortable with nudity, and I'm like, okay,

273
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: that could be a porno.

274
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: Like you've got to.

275
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: Be really careful, not careful, You've just got to be

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: able to filter and make sure that you're submitting for

277
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: stuff that is not necessarily legit, but just in line

278
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: with what you want to do. So I've been trying

279
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: to submit for more like commercials and ads, which is

280
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 2: often how a lot of actors make money until they

281
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: kind of like get signed to a TV show or

282
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: a movie. So that is my like update, Oh I've

283
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: got can you hear this? I've got protein bars to

284
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: rotest for you. I've found some with no artificial sweetness

285
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: which are really good.

286
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Have I gotten here too?

287
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So for sure if you want a delicious tasting

288
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: protein bar, the brand is Think they literally are gluten free,

289
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: they have no artificial sweetness. They tell you how many

290
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: netcubs are in there, they tell you how many grams

291
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: of sugar, and they're tell you how much protein. So

292
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to switch to Think bars. I

293
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: still have been having one bars, which I got onto

294
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: last time. I found them again at Albertson. So my

295
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: favorite flavor is the maple glaz donut and.

296
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: The bar bell.

297
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: I've had the cookies and cream yesterday and I've still

298
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: got a white chocolate armon leftover. But they do use

299
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: artificial sweetness, so they're out like they are. I'm phasing

300
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: the artificial sweetness ones to TA totally out. I'll switch

301
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: to So when I'm in Australia, I love Smart bars

302
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: but you can't get them here, so I'm going to

303
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: switch to Think Here and No Cow. They're the two

304
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: brands that I found that don't use artificial sweetness but

305
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: have great macros. So like Great Protein to car Ratio

306
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: because I kind of want low sugar really delicious. I'm

307
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: a sweet tooth, which is why I like having protein

308
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: bars because it kind of satiates that like sweet hankering

309
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: for me.

310
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: So they're my bar reviews for you. Book review time.

311

Speaker 2: I promised i'd do it last week, and I realized

312
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,560

00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: This book is alsome. It's really easy to read. It

320
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: feels like she's chatting to you. I had so many

321
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: favorite moments from it, and I didn't write them down

322
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: because I was like, oh, remember to talk about that.

323
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: She talks about the power of taking up space and

324
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: why you can and why it's a good thing. She

325
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: talks about like owning your privilege as well, which she

326
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: kind of touched on when I interviewed her, So if

327
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: you go back two weeks ago, that's the Kemi interview.

328
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: She talks about empathy, talks a lot about her.

329
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,080

330
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: acknowledges when she felt like she was doing the wrong

331
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: thing as well, which is really cool. The acronym of

334
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: is for equality, and R is for responsibility. But my

335
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: favorite bit that I read, I hope I can find
