Speaker 1 (00:06):
Questions at one of our fearlessly failing guests. PS, I'm

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Welcome back to the hot seat. Full name. You don't
have to do middle if you don't want.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Don't have a middle name, don't need one. You have
quite share.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Okay, what's something you miss about Australia when you're in America?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Parma's chicken, chick and parmesana. Yeah, that's fair or parme.
People get upsets, different states, different hands. Chick and parma
parme For the American listeners, we adopted the chicken parmesana
as our national dish that we stole from Italians because
we like to steal things because we're criminals, but we
make it better than anywhere else in the world.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm glad my Italian boyfriend was in the room for that.
He'd like and no, and what about when you're in
Australia or touring. Is there something that you miss about
being here in La because La sometimes gets a bad rap.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, I mean the weather in La is the best
weather I've ever lived in anywhere, better than Queensland, better
than I spend a lot of time in Indonesia. Like
the weather here is perfect, yeah, perfect every single day.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I miss that sort of consistency sometimes. And there
is an energy in a feeling here of there's a
lot of creatives, so you do feel like you're in
a like a melting post. Yeah, and that feels good sometimes,
and you miss it when you particularly in Australia. I
love Australia, obviously I say it all the time, but
sometimes you feel like, oh, my love of creativity is
(01:52):
not in every coffee shop and everywhere, and I can
feel that. But when you hear in LA, you're like
that person loves movies, that person is writing a script,
Like yeah, you can feel that. Yeah, and that is
nice time.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And shit happens quick here too, like like it can
feel slow, like a slog, but then all of a
sudden something will just happen and you're like.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
And from left of center too, and you'll go, oh, okay,
I'll do that. Suddenly you're doing the thing you didn't
think you'd do when you're loving it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Okay, favorite city.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Where in the world?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Favorite city? Uh, Sydney really more than Melbs Yeah yeah,
I like Sydney better than Melbourne. People get upset with that.
And I like the beaches. Yeah okay, oh you know what,
I'm going to take it back. My favorite city is
New York. That's silly to say Sydney. I like Sydney,
but New York. It actually has that energy and that feel,
(02:42):
and you can spend six weeks on one block in
New York finding different things. New York's so exciting and fun.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Do you want to love about New York?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You can be any age in New York, Like I'd
be sitting having a bagel, and I'd see some Lake,
yeah in his eighties, with a dog on his lap.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, eating a baby.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I don't see a lot of kids in New York though, agree.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same in LA. You don't
see that.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Many don't see it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Whenever I see a pregnant person in La, I'm like, oh,
that's new for today.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It is.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Actually, don't see it.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Very no, because as soon as you do that, you
get out and you go to the where it's safe.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay, being a surfer, I imagine you'll probably have a
few for this one.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
But favorite nature.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Spot Indonesia need to be more specific. I know that's
perfect the islands off Indonesia, not necessarily Bali. Bali's too crowded. Yeah.
I just went to one called Roti Island. That was unreal.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So I think on the black sand.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
There's black sand all over Indonesia because it's all volcanic.
But the Mental Eye islands in Indonesia as well anywhere
around there. That's my favorite place in the world to
be what yeah, I mean both both pretty good. Do
you have a pet peeve littering?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
If I see someone drop a cigarette but.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Or anything, it drives me in you say, you like fool.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Oh unless they're big, but I'll usually pick it up
and say to them do you want me to put
this into the bin for you? Like I'll make a
scene like Karen or something. Yeah, it infuriates me. Do
you know what the worst part is is? Oh, you're
you're done with whatever you're think, you're just going to
throw that. We all share this. This is like we
(04:26):
have a shared yeah, and you are just throwing something
on the kitchen floor for someone else to pick up. Yeah,
we're all sharing. Don't don't be a dickhead. Yeah I'm angry.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
My favorite one is you don't be a dingo. I'll
say that if I don't want to say don't be
a Yeah, it's to a dickhead in America, and I'm like, oh,
they're clearly a hold back. I swear no, you do both.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Do you have like you seem like someone that's got
great work ethic, resilience, drive, creativity.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do you have a non negotiable?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Is there something where you're like, this is something that
like is it movement? Is it like surfing? Is there
something you have to do that is like part obvious
with me?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Jogs?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Oh, any sort of working out. I have to work
out every day pretty much. I'll give myself one day
off maybe a week or something and allow myself to
do that, but I usually get edgy and go for
a walk or something. Yeah, so it has to be movement. Weights.
I do like an F forty five or a training,
make closs. I like doing them, but.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It has to be training, mate.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh training, MAT's great, it's it's easy, it's done in
forty five minutes. You don't have to think. So I
like doing those things, but if I don't, I feel
like such a pile by the afternoon if I don't
work out.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, also think the mental health side of it too.
You just feel good by moving and feel more clarity.
And you're someone that's your own boss as well, so
you need to have drive even on the days you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I have to too because I've got this arthritic condition.
So if I don't do movement, I actually jar up
and I become crippled. When I was twenty five, I
couldn't get out of bed. I was crippled.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So you would have to be careful with like not
letting your body get inflamed as well.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Right, yeah, and so certain foods I don't eat, starchy foods.
I try and not eat too much sort of breads
and carbohydrates or stuff like that, which doesn't Sometimes I'll
drink four hundred beers and then eat a pizza and go, oh,
you're an idiot, ma, cart.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Move No, that's okay, But we'll dance that dance.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
We have to. You have to let yourself live and
then yeah, but it's definitely movement, working out, doing something.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I think I'm the same. Final question for someone that's
listening to this, A lot of young actors listen to this, Like,
for someone listening to this that's got like a creative dream,
what advice do you have?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Don't let someone else tarnish your creative dream. There's too
many people in the world that are not creative and
will tell you, Oh, that's not the way things are done,
or that's not how it's you need to do it,
You need to do this to do that. No, you don't.
Do what you feel is right and it will get
its audience. Go and films up on your phone. Go
(07:01):
and my my little niece was running around the other
day with her friends filming these videos and I was
so creative and so awesome. I was like, this is great.
I wish I had a camera phone when I was
a kid, because I was doing it on a VHS
thing making Lego like stop start Lego movie. But there
is so many avenues for you to do your creativity.
Don't let anyone else take that spark away from you
(07:24):
because they will try to and that's unfortunately yours. There's
two there's two people in the entertainment industry. There's creative
people and there's people that aren't creative but want to
be involved so need to mooch off the others. And
they will take your ideas, they will claim them as
their own. They will tell you how to do them
different so that it works for them. But don't listen
(07:45):
to any of them. Find the creative people and go,
what do you think if I know painted this is something?
And someone goes, I love that. Hang around those people.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Ah, you the best, Thank you, appreciate it. To the listeners,
if you haven't listened to The Monday yet, go back
and listen to it. And of course Monty is doing
a worldwide global to ur, so go see him.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
