Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Life of Liz.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning, Liz, Good money Liz. That's my oprah impascination
because I'm going.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I know Liz well, just so that people wonder who
this interesting character is that has just walked into the studio.
Liz is one of our producers here at ninety six
a FM, and so every now and then we do
a little segment called the Life of Liz, which is
a little bit more exciting than most lives, especially over
the next little while. Because yes, you're jetting.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Off too America, honey, the USA.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
When are you going to Is it tomorrow or tonight?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Fly tonight?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Are you packed?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Not packed? I was just saying before, I need to
get a higher car, haven't booked one. I don't know
where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So it sounds like this sounds like it could be
made into a movie a la planes, trains and automobiles.
You might want to video this on your phone, like
when you get to the car rental counter. I know,
we want to see all of this. This is this
is this is an impending disaster.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I know, it's it's scary, it's fun, it's wild.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
She lives by the skin of her teeth. Very mean,
exciting life but so you're flying out tonight, but you were.
You're kind of left in limbo there for a while,
weren't you. You were your application, shall we say, for
your visa was selected for some extra scrutiny, Ye, national
security threat threat possibly, What's what's the what was the
(01:31):
reason they gave you for pulling you aside?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah? So I applied for the Esther Waiver, which is
a visa waiver for Australians, and it I got subjected
to a believer a background check, and that's.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
What did they find when they delved around there.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, I'm squeaky clean, honey, but.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
You haven't got there yet. You could talk to me
like you're still in Australia.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't think they found anything, because it did get
finally moved to eleven pm on Friday night. But it
was scary and I was calling up every day to
the States that it's been shut down there, so no
one kind of helped me, and everyone was saying you
might not get the flights.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But let's be honest, the problems began before the shutdown,
Like you were selected before the shutdown. Don't blame the shutdowns.
Is it anything to do with now you showed me
something on your phone yesterday. You have this really strange
kind of would you call it a hobby, a barista
style hobby where you, you know, you make patterns on
(02:33):
the on the foam on the top of a nice cappuccino. Right,
it's actually a Guinness, guess and I get I wasn't
looking that closely at the picture. All I saw was foam.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's prints on a Guinness. You can get them at
my favorite Irish pub, Molly's Ringgate.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But it was one particular one that might have got
you into trouble when they started going through your Instagram.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They had a baby the baby jd Vance meme printed
on a Guinness, which I believe someone in Norway couldn't
get into America because they had it on their phone.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's a dangerous time to be doing that sort of stuff.
Baby jd Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, the meme, I don't know, people might be familiar
with it. It's just like jd Vance has a baby.
It's a bloated baby with the face of jd Vance.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So it's like like in the in the protest where
they have baby baby Trump floating in the sky. This
is baby Vans as well.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Dance and he doesn't like it. No, no, he doesn't
like it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And he very nearly didn't let you in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, but well I'm not in yet.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You might get turned away. The car reds will might
be the least of your problems. When were you flying
into Baltimore?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Baltimore, Baltimore, And I'm asking listeners, I want to go
on a Bloody Mary tour. I want to find the
craziest bloody Mary. I love miniature things. If you know
anywhere that does small things. I also love magic. And
on the way in, I was thinking, I'm going to Philadelphia.
Is there a cream cheese factory tour? Because I am going.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Do they make is Philadelphia cream cheese? Actually I'm not
been sure that they make it there.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think your name, but if it's made there, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You can get a nice pilly cheese steak there.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I can get a few, you can do that. But
I'm looking for a bloody Mary. I hear you can
get one with a half chicken on top. That's the
energy I'm looking for. So anyone who's been to America recently,
texting your tips, I'm going to be all around the place.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, and Liz, let's be honest, you just got a visa.
She hasn't organized a higher car. She really has no
idea what she's doing, so any tips will be handy.

life was interesting. It was different. I can't wait for
the next episode, which is when you get back.
