1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,760 Hello, hello, hello, darlings! It surely has been a while. I have been traveling midwest, so basically 2 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:16,800 I started from Savannah, Georgia, where my home base, and I went to Manning, South Carolina, so my 3 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,840 parents. Then from there I went to Nashville, Tennessee, had this amazing hotel room that 4 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,800 overlooked the city, and I had... I was saving an audition there, I saw somebody, it was great. 5 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:37,520 Then I hit next destination, which was Springfield, Missouri, so a really good friend of mine went to 6 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:47,520 the aquarium, and apparently, I did not know it existed, but World's Fisherman Fair. Yeah, so if 7 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,360 you're into fishing, look up into that. That was actually quite entertaining, and I bought a machete. 8 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:01,600 I haven't used it yet, but I want to. And then after Springfield, I went to Kansas, and there was 9 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:09,600 nothing there, and there were no tornadoes, and I'm like, well, okay, I guess it's time to leave Kansas 10 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:18,720 now. But yeah, so I left there, and then I came into Colorado Springs, I did some hiking. Oh my 11 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:25,120 god, it was so amazing. I've been to Colorado Springs before to see a family, but I haven't 12 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:33,120 actually like explored it, so I went to this dispensary weed shop. I bought a shit ton of 13 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:40,640 stuff, man. I am so excited to try all the Sativa and the Indica. Wait, no, not Indica, the one that's 14 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:50,560 makes you hyper, but it's like the mixture of Indica and Sativa. Yeah, so I went to that shop, 15 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:58,480 and then I did some hiking on the Red Rock Canyon. I got very high, the elevation is like 6,000 feet, 16 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:05,840 I believe. And then I went to the Garden of the Gods, I would recommend going there as well. 17 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Then after that, I did not have any inquiries, I was kind of surprised, because 18 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:22,240 I don't know, I like Colorado, and I feel like Colorado likes me, but after that I went to, 19 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:28,880 oh gosh, where did I go? Utah, there we go, Mob, Utah. I did get some inquiries, but it's like, 20 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,640 it just disappoints me that people do not know how to book properly. They're like, 21 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:39,200 oh, are you available? See, if I was a guy, and that's a girl, if she was available, 22 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,120 I would not expect to reply back. So I just reply to people with automatic messages like, 23 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,160 hi gorgeous, this is what I need for screening, dot dot dot. Once you figure out the date and time, 24 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:59,040 I will put you in my schedule, that's it, it's super easy. And the reason why we need deposits and 25 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,400 screening is because we know you guys are not criminals, we know you're not mental patients, 26 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,920 and deposits, it's not because to scam you, it's because to reserve your spot, 27 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:16,560 reserve your spot, just like any other business. And I actually talk about those things in my 28 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:25,040 other podcasts, feel free to check it out if you haven't yet. So Moab, Utah, I loved it there, 29 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,240 it was like a different planet. If you have not been there, please go there. I don't know if you 30 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,080 guys like mountains, I did not know I liked random red rocks all around me, but apparently I do, 31 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,320 and now I kind of want to ditch everything and just move in the middle of nowhere and live on 32 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:49,040 the rocks and like see random cows. There were so many cows out there in the wild and it was amazing 33 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,120 because, you know, I like animals, I think they should be free, just as much as us, but that's 34 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:05,920 another topic for another day. And after Moab, I went to Great Salt Lake, I used to, I used to 35 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,840 have relatives in Salt Lake, so it was kind of a nostalgic moment, because last time I was there 36 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:17,920 was 10 years ago. So yeah, it has not changed at all, there's still Mormons out there, Mormons, 37 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:25,200 well, I feel like I said morons, I'm sure there's some morons, but... sorry, I'm a little tipsy right now, 38 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,960 but anyways, yeah, and I also would recommend going to Great Salt Lake, it's just a lake, 39 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,560 it's a dried out lake that does not have an outlet and it has a bunch of salt, so if you're missing 40 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,400 salt at home, make sure to get it from the lake. It's natural and it tastes way better than 41 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,520 the ones that are at the stores. So after Moab, I went to... I'm sorry, after Great... 42 00:04:51,520 --> 00:05:02,800 So after Great Salt Lake, I drove to Zion National Park, when it was the moment halfway there, 43 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:10,000 I realized, oh my god, I have two appointments the next day and I did not realize that it was 44 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,680 that date already. I'm like, god damn it, okay, I have to go now to Albuquerque, because that's 45 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:26,880 where I'm staying at, and yeah, so I'm like, okay, I gotta rush, I gotta drive like 100 miles an hour, 46 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:34,640 and yeah, so, but anyways, I got to this lake that I've been wanting to go for years, 47 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:42,560 and I stopped on the way, and it was like 20 degrees when I slept in my car, so obviously, 48 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,120 I didn't really get some any rest, and in the middle of me actually going to sleep, finally, 49 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,320 I hear a knock on my car, and it's a state trooper, and he just wanted to make sure that 50 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,760 everything was okay, and believe it or not, he was like the third cop, third good cop I've met in my 51 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,040 life, and he was super sweet, and I'm like, oh is it okay if I stop here and rest? I just couldn't 52 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,360 find any rest stops, and I was like super nice about it, despite having weed in my car, 53 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:19,920 which I remembered about later, so yeah, he was nice, and he left, I went to sleep, 54 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:29,280 and the next day I went to the lake. So it was 7 a.m. when I woke up, and I drove to the 55 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:37,440 Lake Silencio, is what it's called in Doctor Who universe, which I am totally recommending it guys, 56 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:46,080 it's an amazing sci-fi show, and so I went there, and guess what happened? Literally five minutes 57 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:54,400 driving into this lake, I got stuck in the sand, and I'm like, god damn it, this is not how I was 58 00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,880 supposed to go, I was supposed to take pictures, shoot on them selfies, and drive to Albuquerque. 59 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,960 No, that's not what happened, what happened was I saw a bunch of trailers, I had to go to that 60 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:13,680 first person I saw who had their light on, and mind you, it was seven o'clock, not a lot of people 61 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:21,680 who are on vacation wake up at seven in the morning, so I went there, and the guy was super nice, 62 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,840 and he's like, hey why don't you check out the next trailer, the guy pulled like four people last 63 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,520 night, so I went to the guy, and he came out shirtless, which was quite nice, and then like 64 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,680 10 minutes later I was out of the sand, he helped me out, I paid him, not with sex, but with money, 65 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,080 and I drove to Albuquerque, and the drive to Albuquerque took eight hours, I think, maybe a 66 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:54,800 little bit more, but I love Albuquerque, you know, if you guys don't know, that's where Breaking Bad 67 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,680 was filmed at, and it's an amazing show, you should watch it if you haven't seen it yet, 68 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,480 I do have a friend who, well I have multiple friends who have been on that show, but I'm not 69 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:12,800 gonna say any names, but yeah, amazing show, and also as I recently found out, oh wait, no, nevermind, 70 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:21,840 so yeah, the drive to Albuquerque was about eight hour drive from where I was, and it was pretty 71 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:29,040 scenic, it was a lot of, you know, rocks, different types of rocks, all kinds of rocks, and I loved 72 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:36,640 Albuquerque, I like that I always have success when I'm there booking people, and I do get like 73 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:43,840 some time wasters, but yeah, like some of my favorite clients are there, and I love hiking, 74 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:52,080 and I love, I just love the culture there, there's a lot of reservations, like Native American 75 00:08:52,080 --> 00:09:00,240 reservations or reservoirs, and a lot of Mexicans, and a lot of good food obviously, yeah, I just 76 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:08,080 love coming there, and I do remember, so the first day, or the first evening I guess I was there, 77 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,400 one of my regulars, he got me like this little necklace, and I loved it, it was, it's like the 78 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:22,400 shape of the cat, and it's so me, and it's comfortable, and anyways, I like, I like, you know, 79 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,920 gifts, like when guys bring me gifts, just because it's like nice gesture, like I do not need like a 80 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:35,040 Chanel bag, or freaking laboutines, laboutin shoes, because that shit doesn't matter, it's the small 81 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:42,960 things that, that like, lost my heart pretty much, and yeah, the next day I had like social date, and 82 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:51,760 I went to the tram that goes up, like 10 000 feet up in the mountains in Albuquerque, and oh, the view 83 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,080 guys, so amazing, it's just, you have to take the tram to the mountains if you're in Albuquerque, 84 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:08,640 and I went to Santa Fe, got some souvenirs for my parents, and I cannot explain how much of 85 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:15,040 Europe Santa Fe reminds me of, I think it's just a tiny street, different architecture, and 86 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:25,280 yeah, I don't know, it's just, I love it, it's, it's quaint, there's a lot of local art, and I love 87 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:31,840 local art, because local art is actually good, instead of like you, you would see, and do forgive 88 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:39,600 me, that's just my opinion, but I don't think that, you know, drizzling paint, the abstract art is 89 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:47,040 quite art, like yes, it does look good, colors do match and whatnot, but I just don't think it's 90 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,640 quite art, but then again, art is an expression, so, but yeah, local art, local art is amazing, 91 00:10:52,640 --> 00:11:00,640 unfortunately I would, I had to go to care of some stuff, but I did get to check out some of the local 92 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:09,200 artists, and galleries, and a lot of cool churches, well, there were two in Santa Fe, and you know, I 93 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:18,480 do not, I'm not religious or anything, but going to churches just seems to calm my mind, and make me 94 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,320 feel good, yeah, like relaxed, actually, I don't know, I don't know why, maybe there is like things 95 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:37,440 as Holy Spirit and whatnot, yeah, so after Santa Fe, I went to see Meow Wolf, Meow Wolf is an exhibit, 96 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:44,320 it's interactive exhibit, museum, where you can touch everything, and it's like you, you do not have 97 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,480 time limit to go there, so the one in Mexico, the one in New Mexico, I'm sorry, had 90 rooms, but the 98 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,320 one in Denver had like twice as more probably, if not three times more, so it's like you go into one 99 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:03,120 room and separate it in certain way, you go, you find a door to another room, and it's like, it's 100 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:09,920 shit from my nightmares guys, like I always had dreams where I go from one room to another, but 101 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,280 this, like Meow Wolf, it's like, it's like I'm in a dream, but it's an amazing dream, and like there's a 102 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:21,680 lot of other people who I don't know, some of them are pretty high, which is fine, because I think, 103 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:28,880 I think it's a great idea to go to Meow Wolf exhibits when you're high, because it's, I don't 104 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:35,920 think there's nothing like it out there in the world, it's quite something, so if you do have a 105 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,560 chance to go to Meow Wolf, any location in the world or in United States, please do that, do yourself a 106 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:49,520 favor, go there, like you will not, you will not be disappointed, and on third day I did have to 107 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:56,880 leave, I did have a social date in this cool cafe with one of my regulars, and yeah, and then I drove 108 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:04,640 to, oh gosh, where did I drive to? It's like with all this traveling, you can't remember, um, I drove 109 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:13,040 to Oklahoma City, there we go, I did not have good luck there, it was so empty, but then again, it's 110 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:22,080 like, it's cute town, but it's not rich, so obviously with my rates, I didn't really get anybody, 111 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:30,960 but that's okay, because I was also like so tired, and I just wanted to go to sleep. After Oklahoma 112 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:39,280 City, I was back in Memphis, Nashville, and it's, it's really cute, I like it, I've never been to 113 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:47,680 Elvis's hometown, and it's a college town, lots of college kids, I do not know why, I'm intimidated 114 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:55,360 by them, so I went to Memphis, and then I had an audition that I had to submit ASAP, so I was like 115 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:01,520 asking the receptionist at the front desk, like please, are there any rooms available, like 2 20 116 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,400 p.m., like literally 40 minutes before check-in time, and she's like yes, yes, there is room 117 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:13,840 available, first floor is again, like yes, please, thank you.
