This episode as if you've been here 13 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: for a while, do you know that the Friday episode 14 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: is a diary check in episode and today's. 15 00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: Episode is going to be a little bit of a split. 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: It'll be my last few days in LA for the 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: first bit of it, and then I'm going to talk 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 2: to you about how I flew home from La San 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: Fran and then to Sydney, and then I'm going to 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: share a little bit about. 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: Quarantine life with you as well. 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: And just as I set this recording up, I was 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: delivered my lunch in Quarantine, so I thought I might 24 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: do a little unravel of quarantine lunch with you too, 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: because it looks really good. Okay, So made it to Australia. 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: That was for people that were listening in part of 27 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: the journey and whatnot. It was a really nerve wracking 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: time because it was my fourth flight that had been booked, 29 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: so the first. 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: Three were all canceled or bumped. 31 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: So bump just means that you've been bumped off the 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: flight due to the flight caps. So I'll talk about 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: the flight in a sec. Let's talk about the last 34 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: few days in LA because they were awesome and I 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: really enjoyed them the way that I wanted to. So 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: I hiked Topanga. Topanga has been on my goal list 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: to hike for so long. I went with my friend Sam. 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: It's basically like an hour out of LA maybe a 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: little bit less. It's just around that Malibui kind of area, 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: so I think it goes Santa Monica then Malibu, and 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: I think Tapanga is somewhere around that kind of vibe. 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: I'd seen all these amazing parts of Malibu on not 43 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: of Topanga, sorry, on Insta, and I was like, oh 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 2: my goodness, I was seeing these to Sam, and I 45 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: was like, I really want to do these hikes, and 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: so we just drove there without kind of like blind 47 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: and we got there and we end up doing this 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: hike that we kind of didn't expect to be doing, 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: and it was different to all the photos, but it 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: was so beautiful and so awesome. It was kind of 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: eerie actually, because there was what looked like a lot 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: of areas that had been burnt in fire and whatnot, 53 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: probably years before. I know Malibu, like it's quite prone 54 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: to fires from my understanding, so it was kind of 55 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: like eerie, but it was beautiful and very different to 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: any other lay hike that I'd done. We went to 57 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: a lookout called Eagle Rock. I would totally recommend putting 58 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: that on your hike list if you are heading to 59 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: California anytime soon. And then after the hike, we hiked 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: for about two hours. 61 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably about two hours or so. 62 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: I feel like we did about fourteen thousand steps, so 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 2: that would be about right. I'm a bit of a nerd. 64 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: I like to do my ten thousand steps to day. 65 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: And then afterwards, on our way back into La we 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: went via Air one Santa Monica, which I hadn't been 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: to before. I'd been to the Abbacinni one in Venice, 68 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: but I hadn't been to the Santa Monica one. And 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: of course i'd been to the one near the Grove, 70 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: because that's like the as far as I'm wear, that's 71 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: theog one. And then there was a local one in 72 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: Silver Lake, really close to me, and the Santa Monica 73 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: one had this incredible salad bar, and I got to 74 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: try something that so many America, well so many Aussies 75 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: that have lived in America told me about, and that 76 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: was the gluten free mac and cheese, very very good. 77 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: And then I got this Brussels sprout kind of like 78 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: half cooked, half. 79 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: Not salad, really nice. And then I got this avocado 80 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: kale and white bean salad. And what else do I get? Oh? 81 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: I got I don't know why. 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: I haven't written down, but I can remember that I 83 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: got it. It was KAlP noodles and it was a 84 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: pad tie that was probably the best. That was amazing. 85 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: And then I got to have a drink. I got 86 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: Chumric gold and milk as a drink, which was really nice. 87 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't thick like a smoothie. It was more like 88 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: a cool last a kind of vibes. Oh, I don't 89 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: know what that sound is. 90 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: I mean the middle. I'm saying, in the middle of Sydney. 91 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: That's probably way if you can hear trucks and whatnot outside. 92 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: And then last that was my second last day in La. 93 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: Last day in La again was just like I want 94 00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: to do my local hike. 95 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: And I I got up early. 96 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: I did my hy Trogriffith Park Observatory, did that, loved it, 97 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: did it all on my own and I just had fun, 98 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: you know. My last day, of course, I went back 99 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: to Airwan and got my favorite vegan Mexican salad. I got, 100 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: of course some vegan gluten free pumpkin pie because. 101 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: It's my favorite treat in the entire world. 102 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: I got that delucious chock chip cookie, the gluten free 103 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: one Green juices for the flight, so I got them 104 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: in advance, so I got the just Greens and the 105 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: Hardcore Greens, and then I bought this. I saved the 106 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: thingo for you. I don't know if you can hear it. 107 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: It's called mud water. It's like a sashet, and I 108 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: actually bought it for Boss. But then when I checked 109 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: into the hotel quarantine, I was like I think I'm 110 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: going to have a boss. So it's called a massala 111 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: chai black tea, ginger, cardamoen, cloves, nutmeg, black pepper, coco, lions, 112 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: main corterceps, chaga, rachi, cinnamon, chimric, Himalayan salt. So I 113 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: just had it with alm and milk and heated it 114 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: on the pan like you would a hot chocolate, and it, honestly, 115 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: it tasted like a mud. 116 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: It was not good. 117 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: You'd need to sweeten it, and I didn't have any 118 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: sweetener here, and I've just got saschets of sugar which. 119 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: I didn't really want to use. So yeah, I mean 120 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: it was probably healthy. I couldn't finish it. 121 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: I had about a third of bit, and I felt 122 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 2: really bad because that was a present I bought back 123 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: for the boss. Oh, and I've just spilt it, the 124 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: remnants of it all over my notebook. How wonderful I'm 125 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: having a smelt smells lovely and gingery, but it wasn't 126 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: lovely in gingery. 127 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: Right. Oh. 128 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: The day before I left as well, I had acting school. 129 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: I put a monologue up with a New York accent, 130 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: which I totally effed up and failed on the first time. 131 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: I put it up, so it was really nice to 132 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: have a second goal of popping it up.

That said, 145 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: I've just been booked to go on a podcast as 146 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: a guest and they've asked if I'll do some of 147 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: it in an American accent, and I'm like, okay, cool as. 148 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: Like a bit of fun. 149 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: I caught up with Jackie and mo So Jackie is 150 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: my acting coach and Moe was my first scene partner, 151 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: but we've kind of become little soul buds through drama 152 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: school and we had a couple of ENO's after class 153 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: at Frankie's, which is kind of like the Ivana Chubbik 154 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: school hangout, and that was a lot of fun. Right 155 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: for acting, I had to start prepping for my flight, 156 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: so I went for my PCR test. So in America, 157 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: your PCR test is just under two hundred dollars. 158 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: I asked to have a rapid. 159 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: Test as well because I'm a bit OCD and just 160 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: didn't want to be stressing about my results for twenty 161 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: four hours, which is how long it takes to get 162 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: the PCR test. But a rapid test on top of 163 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: that would have been ninety American dollars, and I was like, oh, 164 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: this is gonna end up costing like all up, you know, 165 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: three fifty four hundred bucks. 166 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, no. 167 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: I also had to do a travel declaration to get 168 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: into Australia. 169 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: That's changed. It's changed. 170 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: A lot because I had to declare what dates I'd 171 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: had my vaccines on. So I think they're getting ready. 172 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: I think this is just from my experience. I have 173 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: no intel, but it seems like they're getting ready for 174 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: when they allow home quarantine for vaccinated Australians. It kind 175 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: of seems like that, but my my travel declaration got 176 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: rejected like thirty times. So the day before I was 177 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 2: flipping out that I wouldn't be able to get on 178 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: the flight because my travel declaration wouldn't come through. And 179 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: at the very last minute I was able to get one. 180 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 2: But it was so touch and go and there were 181 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: a lot of sleepless nights before I got to get 182 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: on that flight. 183 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: Right. 184 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: Oh, so the flight I flew LA to San France, 185 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: my bags were overweight. In America, when you travel, nothing 186 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: can be over fifty pounds, which is like twenty two kilos. 187 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: In Australia, when you travel internationally, you've usually got thirty 188 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: two kilos. So I had like one big, massive suitcase 189 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: and my travel agents like switched to two and just 190 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: don't have them full. So I thought I was in 191 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: the clear, but I think you know, I bought a 192 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: few Halloween goodies. I did a little bit of spot 193 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: of shopping and so it just jacked my weight up 194 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: a little bit. So I had to throw out a 195 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: pair of amazing added ash shoes at the airport. I 196 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: was that person like scrambling and repacking and unpacking literally 197 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: at the ticket section of United Airlines, so LA flew LA, 198 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 2: and I think I was on a four pm flight 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: flew to LA to San Fran, which is like an 200 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: hour and then so I was there by five pm, 201 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: and then my international flight wasn't till eleven pm at night, 202 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: so I just kind of cruised around, worked in the terminal. Interestingly, 203 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: at both terminals you can get vaccinated, so there were 204 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: vaccines at LAX and SFO, which I think is the 205 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: San Francisco International Airport. 206 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: I've never been to San Fran. 207 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: I actually had wanted and planned to spend a few 208 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: days in San Fran before my flight, but because there 209 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: was such a high probability of being bumped and flights 210 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: were not going ahead last minute, my travel advisor Lauren 211 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: was like, no, Lola, like, let's just play it really 212 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: safe and just get you on connecting flights and have 213 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: you at the airport so that your chances of being 214 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: bumped get decreased. So I've still not yet been to 215 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: San Fran other than the airport. Their flight from San 216 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Fran to Sydney had seventeen people on it, exact same 217 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: amount of flight flight attendance. I was in economy. I 218 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: think I was row thirty two, and I got a 219 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: whole road to myself, so I was able to sleep 220 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: laying down, ask for a few extra pillows and blankies, 221 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: and I actually fasted on the flight, which sometimes I 222 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: do sometimes I don't know, to see how I'm feeling. 223 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: But I was just really stressed and nervous about hotel 224 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: quarantine and about the flight. I was like, just don't 225 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: stress your body out anymore, and so I fasted on 226 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: the flight. Got off in Sydney, cleared customs, had to 227 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: put all my suitcases through the java, you know where 228 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: they scan it for stuff. And I bought boxes of 229 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: pumpkin pie quest Bus protein bus, and so they came 230 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: up in the scanner, of course, didn't they. I was like, oh, 231 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 2: so I bought some protein Bus Do I need to 232 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: Did I need to claim them? 233 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: And they're like, no, no, no, you didn't need to. Actually, 234 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: I was like great. And then you. 235 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: Basically clear customs the way you normally would. But the 236 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: airport is like ghost town. It's quite empty. 237 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: And then. 238 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: As you kind of exit or come out into what 239 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: would be natural, you get to go out into real life, 240 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: like you are standing outside and breathing real air. And 241 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: then there's all military, so navy, an army, and then 242 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: you've got the Australian Police Force or the police force. 243 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: And the sergeant is like at the exit, he's calling 244 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: all the shots and they're like, hey, what's your name 245 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: and you're like, Laurence Smith, that's my real name. And 246 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: then they're like are you traveling with anyone else? And 247 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: you're like yes or no? In my case no, and 248 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: they're like, right, go to that bus, and everyone kind 249 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: of gets divided off and divvied up into buses. And 250 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: then depending on what bus you go on to depends 251 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: on where you end up and. 252 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: What hotel you end up. 253 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: And so I think, as I record this, I am 254 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: day four. Oh, I've got a whiteboard. Yes, I am 255 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: day four of hotel quarantine. So technically day one is zero, 256 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: so you have to fourteen nights, so I won't get 257 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 2: out of here technically till day fifteen. So I've tried 258 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: to ignore that first day and so that it does 259 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: feel like I leave one day fourteen. So I've ignored 260 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: day one, day one and called it zero, and then 261 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: I've started counting from the next day. As soon as 262 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: I got in, I ordered a treadmills just under three 263 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: hundred bucks for the fourteen days, and I've just set 264 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: myself a little challenge of doing ten thousand steps a day. 265 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: I just was like, I want to do that. When 266 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,119 Speaker 2: I checked in, I was able to say I'm gluten intolerant. 267 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: So I've had some I've written down some of the 268 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: good food. The day I checked in, Mexican burrito quite good, 269 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: needed a bit of salt, in my opinion. The Flafful 270 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: wrap was launched that was really really good. Dinner was 271 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 2: like this roast lamb and veggies. It was a bit 272 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: much for me. I couldn't finish it, but it was good. 273 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: And then they'd given What they do is they give 274 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: you get your lunch at like eleven thirty, so I 275 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: guess you can eat it whenever you want to have it, 276 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: which is what God delivered right before I hit record here. 277 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: And then they. 278 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: Give you your dinner at like three.

I 381 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: really wanted to be in Australia for the book. I 382 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: did try to push it out to next year, but 383 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 2: it was too late. It had already kind of like 384 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: gone out to everyone it needed to, like all the 385 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: pre orders and big bookstores and whatnot. And so that's 386 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: why I decided I wanted to try really hard to 387 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: come home for that book tour and book launch. Who 388 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 2: knows how the tool will look because we're obviously living 389 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: in a bit of a post pandemic world. But I'd 390 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: like to do COVID friendly events. I'd love to do 391 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: like outdoor yogs or something really fun, or a little 392 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: outdoor evening event, but it will completely depend on what 393 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: the rules are and whatnot. But if you're new to 394 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: the book, the book is called Fearlessly Failing, just like 395 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 2: this podcast, and it's kind of like half memoir, half 396 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: personal development. I'm going to do as the book gets 397 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 2: closer to being released, it's officially on sale November first, 398 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: but if you're cheeky and check out bookstores a little 399 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: bit before that, I reckon you might see it in store. 400 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: But the date I've been told to say is the 401 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: first November. And yeah, I'm so pumped. I'm so so pumped. 402 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's like there's chapters on heartbreak, fear, failure, success, 403 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 2: and one of my favorite chapters is human behavior, all 404 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 2: the stuff that I've learned at acting school. So yeah, 405 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 2: very yeah, I'm so wrapped with that. I'm so happy 406 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: and proud of it, and I feel very very very 407 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: lucky to be bringing it out, to be honest. So 408 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: that's why I'm here, and of course to see Bossachenko 409 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 2: the love, you know. So soon as I'm out of 410 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: hotel quarantine, I think Sydney will still be in lockdown, 411 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: in which case I think, legally I just have to 412 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 2: go straight to the airport, do not pass, go, do 413 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 2: not collect two hundred dollars, like, straight to the airport 414 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: and get on a plane. And then I think I 415 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 2: have to do another COVID test within forty eight hours, 416 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: and then I'll have to wait for New South Wales 417 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: Regional and City to open before I can start coming 418 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: to Sydney for book stuff. 419 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: There you go. 420 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 2: There is my update. Okay, So I'm just gonna grab 421 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 2: my phone and I just thought I might go through 422 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 2: some of the questions because it was so interesting how 423 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: many questions I got about hotel quarantine, make sure, so 424 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: heaps of questions about the food. I was, oh, should 425 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 2: I show you? Let me just quickly show you the foods. 426 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: Stay there, one seco because I put it in the fridge, 427 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: because it's a pokey bowl. 428 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: One sick. 429 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm back.

But yeah, So let me do a few 448 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: of the questions that came up in the quarantine. 449 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: What are you doing to pass the time? Ps? 450 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 2: You look very happy, So trying to do my thousand steps, 451 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 2: trying to do a videos and podcasts. So I've booked 452 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: I think eleven podcasts for the fourteen days to go 453 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: on as a guest and talk about the book, which 454 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: is cool, and I think I want to get one. 455 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: When the boss interviews me about hotel quarantine, I think 456 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 2: that'd be cool. Do they do housekeeping, fresh sheets, et 457 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: extra at any point? No, I don't think. So no 458 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 2: one can come in and no one can go out. 459 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: Do you get to pick the food? 460 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: No, you don't. But again, like when I specified. 461 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: Gluten free, like at the start, that meant that I 462 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 2: knew everything would be gluten free. 463 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: Cool. 464 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: How easy is it to get things delivered to you 465 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 2: like a treadmill. Very You just got to make sure 466 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 2: you've got your room number and your full name. If 467 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: anyone wants to know mine, you just let me know. 468 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: Questions about the vaccine, just like did I? How did 469 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: I feel about getting fireser? I got a headache on 470 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 2: the second one for about three days. Are you restricted 471 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: with heating calling ventilation? I have opening windows? 472 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: Some very very. 473 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 2: Lucky people asking what day did I get jet lag? 474 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 2: I don't think so, although I was up at five today. 475 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: But I think you get worse jet lag. Oh, I 476 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 2: got worse jet lag going across to America than I 477 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 2: did coming back. Heaps about the fresh air. Someone said, like, 478 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: do you get a discount because's a long state. It's 479 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 2: government mandated. It's three thousand dollars for everyone as far 480 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 2: as I'm aware, which I haven't paid yet. I think 481 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: you get a bill at the end. And lots of 482 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: questions about the treadmill. Do you have to quarantine when 483 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: you go back to La Technically no, but I think 484 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 2: they have like a LA County website where when I 485 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 2: got there they recommended you isolate for seven days, which 486 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: I did. Actually, other than getting food and the vaccine, 487 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: I pretty much isolated and just hiked and stayed really 488 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 2: low profile. I did that actually until I was double waxed, 489 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 2: and that was seven days. I think that's now changed 490 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 2: to three. When do you return to the States. Do 491 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: you have to quarantine when you come back? I imagine 492 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: I may not need a quarantine by then because they're 493 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 2: kind of like coping quite well with it. 494 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: I think. 495 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 2: I'm planning on going back to the States early next year, 496 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: so fed March, ending on flights and availabilities. What does 497 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: flying out look like for you considering that letting people 498 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 2: live Australia, It's not till next year, so I don't 499 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: think I need to worry. Also, when you're a Green 500 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 2: Card holder, you are a permanent American resident. I hope 501 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: this is interesting for you. I'm just reading questions. Just 502 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: bought my first Lola coffee, making small changes in my 503 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: life as I turn forty in two weeks. 504 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: Lola coffee is delish. 505 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 2: We have lions made in it. It is very good 506 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 2: for your brain. Lots of questions about the food. I 507 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 2: think people just want to know about the food. What 508 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: are your dreams for la? And I've just I remember 509 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: answer this. 510 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: It's just for me. I really, and i'd be. 511 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: Embarrassed before I went to be like I'm an actor 512 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: and a TV host because I haven't had any acting 513 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: gigs yet and so but now that I come back, 514 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: I feel so come to be like, Hey, my name's Lola, 515 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 2: I'm an actor and TV host. It's okay that I 516 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: can't get work in Australia. Like I've auditioned for so 517 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 2: many pilots to host TV shows and they just don't 518 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: get green lid or I don't get booked for whatever reason. 519 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean I still can't call myself that. 520 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's kind of been quite nice to 521 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: be like, hey, I'm an actor, I'm a TV host 522 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: and that's my passion and that's my dream and I'm 523 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 2: going to chase it. You know, heaps of food questions. 524 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 2: Do you have to pay for? Did you have to 525 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 2: pay for the three flights that you did end up getting? So? Yes, 526 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: but I've applied for refunds since I've back on Australian soil. 527 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: But you still lose a lot to tax. Did you 528 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: ever get COVID in America? 529 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: No? I didn't, but I want to be honest with you. 530 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: I isolated a fair bit, so I really wanted to 531 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: go to Universal Studios, Harry Potter World and Disneyland, but 532 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: I just went Delta kind of like kicked off. That's 533 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 2: when their mask mandate came back in for La County, 534 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: And to be honest, I was like, I'm all alone, 535 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: Like I don't really want to contract COVID on my 536 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: own and struggle. 537 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: Many more than I have to. 538 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: So the only group thing I ever continued to do 539 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: was acting class, and we were totally masked in social 540 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: distance every class. The only time you pull your mask 541 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: off is to do your scene, and the second you're 542 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: getting notes, your mask goes back on. 543 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: So I felt pretty safe there. 544 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: And they had a really cool ventilation system and whatnot 545 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: in place, and really strict rules like you had to 546 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: show your vaccine ID to get in, you had to 547 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 2: eat temperature checked. It was really good, and like at 548 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: every entrance of school there'd be hand sanitizers. So that 549 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 2: was the only thing that I kept doing that was 550 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: group and everything else. I just pretty much would just 551 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: do one on one hikes with friends and whatnot. I 552 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: didn't do any of the big group things where I 553 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: would have been more exposed to COVID. Nineteen, so that's 554 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: probably worked in my favor and as well being fully 555 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: vaccinated too. 556 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, this is a little a little check in. 557 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 2: I bought out here my snacks I packed from America, 558 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: so I bought a box of this brand. It's Maple 559 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: Waffle Flavor Questpa. Twenty grams of protein, five grams of 560 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: net carbs, one gram of sugar, sixteen grams of five 561 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: It's quite yummy. There's like oozy maple bits in it. 562 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: I still think the best is pumpkin pie, so good. 563 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: And then Boss has sent me smart Bars, which are 564 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: my favorite bars in Australia, so now I'll start rotating 565 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: them so that I can make the pumpkin pie last. 566 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: So there you have it.
