Key Themes and Discussion Points

1. Love Island and Reality TV: The Unfiltered Truth

[02:23] – [07:22]

• Liv describes the intense yet rewarding Vegas production and her transition from the villa to the limelight:

  “The live show to that extreme and with so many big names and faces—it can’t top that.” (Olivia, [03:54])

• Casting and Filming:
  Liv recounts the long, detailed casting process, including medical exams and hundreds of questions before filming in Fiji.

  “You meet with talent managers, execs... a lot of people fly out who don’t make the show. There’s like an 800-question form!” ([11:07])

• Post-Show Whirlwind:
  Getting her phone back and suddenly discovering her popularity was overwhelming:

  “Does the internet hate me? ...I called my cousin first! I just turned my phone off.” ([11:57])

2. Authenticity, Friendship & “Saying It Like It Is”

[06:07] – [07:22]; [13:00]; [17:16]

• Both Avery and Liv value straightforwardness in friendships, crediting their upbringing with this trait.
• Liv’s refreshingly real approach resonated with audiences—and she hilariously admits she “can’t fake it” for connections on TV.

  “My most genuine connection was probably with the girls, even though I didn’t couple up with them.” (Olivia, [18:08])

3. Behind the Glam: What Viewers Don’t See on Love Island

[14:17] – [19:01]

• Editing & Reality:

  “I don’t want to say 60 percent is cut out... conversations go for hours. They cut entire sections.” (Olivia, [14:37])

• Lack of Sleep & Routines:
  Long filming hours, no clocks, and controlled bathroom breaks:

  “You have no idea what time it is... you just go to bed when you’re told.” ([19:12])

• Not-so-glamorous moments:

  “After challenges, we’d be covered in slime and freezing!” ([19:33])
  “Producers would bang on the bathroom door—felt like trying to pee away from my kids!” (Avery, [23:24])

4. Influencer Life: Myths, Realities & Business Lessons

[24:04] – [28:09]; [29:01]; [37:07]

• Both discuss business strategy, creative demands, and the often-surprising influencer income:

  “I didn’t expect the money. That sounds horrible to say... companies have this much money?!” (Olivia, [37:07])

• Building a Sustainable Brand:
  Liv and Avery highlight supporting fellow influencers rather than gatekeeping, citing role models like A Quiet Style’s Bridget and Danielle.
• Workload and Consistency:

  “If you allow it to be, it can be a 24/7 job. The algorithm caters to consistency—my first two years on TikTok, I posted three times a day!” (Avery, [38:06]–[38:39])

• Celebrities & Social:

  “The median income for social media has far surpassed television and movies.” (Avery, [40:32])

5. Privacy, Relationships, and Boundaries

[41:07] – [44:14]

• Liv weighs sharing her personal life versus keeping her relationship private, especially out of respect for her boyfriend’s boundaries.

  “I try to be as open as possible, but he didn’t sign up for this life. It’s a slow working game.” (Olivia, [41:14])

• Avery agrees, describing her own husband’s lack of social media and their mutual respect for privacy.

6. Culture: Australia vs. LA

[28:26]; [44:49]; [48:22]

• Liv reflects on her recent move to LA’s Manhattan Beach, missing Australian summers, food, and the directness of Aussies.

  “I feel like my mannerisms have turned more LA—I’ve learned to slow down, get rid of slang…” (Olivia, [44:53])

• LA’s traffic, food culture, and the differences in driving and attitude are discussed with humor.

  “People just have ‘don’t give a’ energy in LA.” (Avery, [34:58])

7. Food! Comfort, Culture, and American Oddities

[48:22] – [52:29]

• Liv misses Australian food (and strong UV, “everyone tanned with the best tan lines”).
• The duo debate Chick-fil-A, American chips, ranch, and the mysteries of “spray-on cheese.”

  “Cheese Whiz... it looks like Silly String. That’s not a real thing!” (Olivia, [52:11]) “My daughter walks around with Dorito dust fingers all day.” (Avery, [50:34])

8. Fun, Rapid-Fire Q&A

[56:15] – [66:57]

• Favorite Love Island contestant: “Ride or die for Nae Nae—she’s even better in person.” (Olivia, [56:20])
• Dream cocktail: “Spicy marg!”
  “You’re a tequila drinker?” “Yeah, it’s the stimulant alcohol. Everything else is a depressant.” ([56:52])
• Hangover cure: “Liquid IV and Chick-fil-A or Wendy’s 4 for 4.” ([58:10])
• Biggest ick: “People putting others on show—embarrassing someone else to look good yourself. Also, skinny jeans on guys!” ([59:04])
• Celebrity crush: “Scott Eastwood in The Longest Ride—beautiful, God took his time.” ([61:29])
• Pump-up song: “Any song by Future, love a little Lil Baby, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki.” ([62:23])
• Future plans:

  “Trying different avenues—hosting, moving beyond reality but not forgetting it. Just want to learn from everyone.” (Olivia, [63:32])

• Avery’s request: “We need more makeup tutorials from you! Your face is beat to filth at all times.” ([64:22])

9. Social Media Handles (Liv Walker)

• Instagram: @oliviaa_walker
• TikTok: @oliviawalkerr
• Snapchat: @oliviaa_walker (see [66:21])

“Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, LTK—it’s Olivia two A’s underscore Walker...” (Olivia, [66:24])

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On fake luxury:

  “Do you like my Bottega? ...Thank you, it’s from Amazon.” (Avery, [01:47])

• On glam struggles:

  “I brought my own tape [extensions]...had to teach someone to tape them for me. But you’re doing me dirty with those zoom-ins.” (Olivia, [22:01])

• On influencer gatekeeping:

  “Some people could be like, always gatekeeping. I never understand that...there’s room for everybody on social media.” (Avery, [26:53])

• On social media anxiety:

  “You have a day of shit engagement, and you’re like—my career is over. Next day, you’re fine.” (Avery, [27:46])

• On posting:

  “Post it. They’re following you for you. They want to see you!” (Avery to Olivia, [39:37])

Oh, my God, like, amazing. I feel like since checking in, I was like. I didn't know what to expect. I knew it was always, like, a massive production, and they do it so well. But from, like, everything being on the bed to, like, the live show to, like, the pool party. It's small, so full on, but in, like, the best way. It's like, I think it's, like, a good spring break.

[Avery Woods]

[Olivia Walker]

And who doesn't love carbon source?

[Avery Woods]

Also, like, I will be taking that home.

[Olivia Walker]

Well, we have a whole other day today where we're pretty much doing the same thing, but. What's been your favorite part of Vegas so far?

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, I think a live show for sure. Really? Just because I haven't done something like that. I. I mean, I did a similar thing straight off the villa, but, like, a live show to, like, that extreme and, like, with so many, like, big names and faces.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like it can't top that. But we have. Today we have.

[Avery Woods]

Harris is playing, so Paris is doing the pool.

[Olivia Walker]

[Avery Woods]

Another live show tonight.

[Olivia Walker]

I can't wait. I just need to prep myself. I think it's like, I think the

[Avery Woods]

chain smokers Are performing tonight at the club. Right? Am I crazy? Am I making that up? Jazzy? No. Yeah. Chase.

[Olivia Walker]

I love the chainsaw.

[Avery Woods]

Yes. You have to go.

[Olivia Walker]

Come out then I will be there jumping this up.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I told my husband. I was like, that is a reason I would stay out is because they're so good.

[Olivia Walker]

I want them at my wedding. I feel like they would be a great like end of performer.

[Avery Woods]

I feel like we could make that happen. Let's talk to him tonight.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, you just pre book them. It's fine.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay, so like 2020.

[Avery Woods]

Like 20, 29, 20, 30. Yeah. So for people that don't know you from Love island, how would you describe yourself?

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, my God. I was thinking about this and I was like, oh, I don't even know how to describe myself. I'm from Australia.

[Avery Woods]

Where in Australia?

[Olivia Walker]

Sydney. Have you been?

[Avery Woods]

No, my husband lived there for a year, though.

[Olivia Walker]

In Sydney?

[Avery Woods]

Yes, he lived in Sydney. He studied music at Hillsong. Wait, so when he graduated high school at 18, he was very religious at that time. His dad was a pastor and he wanted to study music. He's really good at guitar and he was always the youth music, like leader in church growing up. And so he moved to Australia for a year and studied at Hillsong. And he was like, we literally just surfed all day and played guitar. And he said it's his favorite place in the world.

[Olivia Walker]

He's.

[Avery Woods]

I've never been.

[Olivia Walker]

You have to come.

[Avery Woods]

And he's always like, that's my dream destination to take you. But he hates flying and said it's the worst flight.

[Olivia Walker]

It's like 15 hours. 15 crazy. But I feel like if you fly business in first class, which I've done like once next to a brand, there's like a bar.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, that'll get you through it.

[Olivia Walker]

So I'm like, It's like you're moving like five steps.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, yeah. So anyways, we'll make it happen then. I'll. I'll text you and get a list of things to do, but. Okay. From Sydney.

[Olivia Walker]

Yes, I'm from Sydney. I mean, I say it how it is, girl.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

Your season was tea.

[Olivia Walker]

I.

[Avery Woods]

Everything you did, I said, yep. And that's on period. Because I'm the same way.

[Olivia Walker]

No, I just. I just like, I feel like it comes with the culture too, but I just like, don't like stuff that is like, sugar coated. I just like, tell me how it is. Say it straightforward. I feel like that's like a real friend.

[Avery Woods]

Yes, absolutely.

[Olivia Walker]

To me might not be that wrong. But yeah, I say how it is. And I don't want to say I'm an influencer because, like, I don't even know what that means. Yeah, I'm just like, living life, seeing different careers and seeing what I love. I love that.

[Avery Woods]

Do you think you say how it is because of the way you're raised, or have you just always been like that naturally?

[Olivia Walker]

I think a little bit of both. Like, I feel like I was raised that they weren't always, like, telling me I'm the best and everything like that. Like, my parents are very supportive, but they were also, like, constructive criticism.

[Avery Woods]

Sure.

[Olivia Walker]

And then a lot of my friends, like, back home, like, they would be like, hey, you're my friend. We didn't like that you did this and vice versa. And I'm like, okay, you learn from it. Instead of it being like, la, la la, la, la, la, la. Yeah, we're talking behind.

[Avery Woods]

Summer is the perfect time to rethink what clothes you're reaching for every day. With the warmer weather, you want lighter fabrics, better materials, and pieces that just feel good the moment you put them on and look effortless. That's where Quince comes in. They focus on high quality essentials. Think breathable linen, soft, organic cotton, washable silk, but without the luxury markup. It's that rare balance where everything feels elevated but still easy. And it's not just clothing. Quint has really become a destination for elevated essentials across home, kitchen, bedding, and beyond. You all know my obsession with Quince, and I feel like there are so many items on Quince's website that has become part of my summer uniform. They have 100% European linen pants I'm obsessed with. They feel so high quality and luxurious. They literally look like you are on an Italian summer vacation. Yet they're so still lightweight enough to wear on a hot Summer day. They've been my obsession and my go to when I'm going to the farmers market. Just wear those in a lightweight little top and you are good to go. Elevate your summer wardrobe.

Yeah, and I also think, I mean this. Like, coddling as parents can be a little bit detrimental. And I'm not saying, like, don't love on your kids, but sometimes tough love is important, especially in this world.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Because, like, as I've learned as a parent, sending my kids to school, like, this is the first time that they're both in school full time, and they come home, like, saying certain things or doing certain things, and I'm like, okay, how did you learn that? Like, where is that coming from here? So stuff kind of, like, gets out of your control.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

So I feel like tough love is.

[Olivia Walker]

Is good. Yeah. And I feel like when it's, like, implemented at, like, a young age correctly, I don't think anyone should, like, yeah, do it in the wrong way. But we live in a society where they're gonna experience it at some point, and I feel like it's better to prepare them, especially from, like, a household perspective, so that when they're out there, they know how to manage it a bit more. But totally, I'm no mother.

[Avery Woods]

So you know what? One day, maybe. Do you want kids?

[Olivia Walker]

Yes. Okay.

[Avery Woods]

Period. Hot mom, milf.

[Olivia Walker]

Like you.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah. I've never looked better right now. You guys.

[Olivia Walker]

You look great. Amazing glasses.

[Avery Woods]

You're so sweet. No, I just bought these, so I thought I would hide my tired eyes. Okay. What were you doing before going on Love Island? Like, were you working? Were you in school? Like, what was your vibe?

[Olivia Walker]

Like, a college student. I work at, like, a bar, like, a pub we have in Australia, which is like a tavern kind of here.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

But I was just at college. I did communications, and I just, like, got this opportunity, and I was like, it. Yeah, might as well.

[Avery Woods]

Did they reach out to you?

[Olivia Walker]

They reached out to me the year before. Okay. And I, like, went through the process. At the start, I was like, this is a scam. Like, this is a joke. Didn't really take it seriously. And then it just wasn't the right time. And then they reached out again, and I was like, this is the once in A lifetime opportunity. Let's just see how it goes. And then I just ended up in Fiji. Wow.

[Avery Woods]

What was the casting process like?

[Olivia Walker]

It's pretty long. They. It starts around January time and you like meet with it if like a few talent managers and then you meet with like executives. And then like a lot of people get flown out to Fiji and not everyone's on the show, but then you meet with the producers there and I think they're just trying to see like, can you hold a conversation, can you get along? Yeah, stuff like that. But it is. And then, oh, there's a massive like I'm gonna say 800 questionnaire. You have to do a medical exam. So like that bits for them but

[Avery Woods]

make sure you're safe on it island. Yeah, for a while.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And all healthy when you got off the show were because you don't have your phones, obviously. So when you checked everything and saw how massive you blew up, what was your reaction?

[Olivia Walker]

Oh my God, it was so overwhelming. I remember I got my phone back at like 8pm that night and they were just like, here's your phone. Have a good night. And I, I didn't know how big the show was. Like, they were like, oh, the show did really well. Like it did better than Bridgerton. But like I was like, oh, I like Bridgerton, but I didn't realize like how big Bridgerton was. And I was like, okay. And then you meet with the psych and they're like, just to warn you, like, the show did well. And I'm like, okay, like, great, they like us. But then I called my cousin first and I was like, hey, like, does the Internet hate me? Because I came off like just after this tweet challenge and she was like, no, everyone loves you. We're so proud. Called my parents, they're like, you did so well. And then I just turned my phone off, so I didn't even know. Oh, wow. The next day. But it was, it was crazy. Seeing everything the fan edits I think was just like, oh my God.

[Avery Woods]

Oh yeah. They're iconic too because we were going through looking for like tick tock sounds. Dude, all the iconic lines that came from you and edits, it just are amazing.

[Olivia Walker]

Thank you. I feel like this, all of us were just. And I think why maybe it did really well is all of us went in kind of like, what have we got to lose?

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Not that it wasn't a big show before, but I don't think it was as to the scale and everyone was like, we're just Going to be ourselves. And a lot of the audience, like, could relate to that. But, yeah, there is some iconic sounds.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I remember when you walked in because you came in on day two, right?

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, day two.

[Avery Woods]

Just looking like a snack. Were you like, Yeah, I own this. When you walked in, I was so nervous. Your confidence was insane.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, my God, thank you. I was so nervous. So I knew I was. I met on. I believe they went in on the Sunday night, and I think I went in Monday morning, but I met, say, on the Saturday with the producer. And they were like, so you're going to be a bombshell. You're going in a couple of days. And I was like, okay. And then I just got a call, like, the next morning, like 8:00am like, hey, you're going in in an hour. And they sat me on the dock. Yeah. And I had no idea who was in there. I had no idea, like, if there was other bombshells. And they're like, okay, go and meet everyone. You're going to steal a van tonight. Go. It was like, that quick. And I was like, well, shit, where do I walk around? Who do I talk to? But it was, like, so worthwhile. All the girls are, like, really welcoming and. Yes, too, so made it easy.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, that's good. How much do you think, like, in your. Because I know a lot of people that are on reality tv and so they tell me about all the cuts and, like, things that producers do, say, whatever. What do you think, percentage wise, is actually shown in Love Island? Yeah. Versus recorded.

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like, in Love island because it's like, every day there's a lot more shown as compared to, like, Love island beyond the villa, because it's like one episode a week. But there is a lot cut out to an extent. Like, we hit. Like I walked in, I was like, okay, I understand. They're trying to make reality television. I've watched reality. No one wants to watch everyone makeup all the time. Like, they're going to exaggerate in some instant. But I would say. I don't want to say 60 cut out because it's like the whole conversation goes for long and all of us love to talk for hours.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

So they're like, okay, we'll cut out section A and B. So.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

How do you think. How much would we cut out? I think beyond the villa, a lot was cut out.

[Avery Woods]

Really? Yeah. Okay.

[Olivia Walker]

A lot.

[Avery Woods]

T. You know what, though? I hear that all the time because I have friends, like, on Secret Lives and Mormon Wives and.

[Olivia Walker]

And great.

[Avery Woods]

It's just cr. Oh, the best. So I can't wait to see them all today. I know. They're. They're so funny.

[Olivia Walker]

And I'm watching them on Dance with the Stars.

[Avery Woods]

Killing it.

[Olivia Walker]

Killing it. Whitney can do it.

[Avery Woods]

Well. She studied dance in college. She's like, such a good dancer, like, insanely.

[Olivia Walker]

And Jen, I like. And when they're husbands and kids dress up for Disney night, I was like, I know.

[Avery Woods]

And Jen just had a baby. I said, how is she doing, dude? When I was postpartum, I was literally laying on the couch with a boot like a baby on my tit.

[Olivia Walker]

No, she is so good. And she always looks like she's having so much fun.

[Avery Woods]

I know. I just. I just love, like, seeing moms thrive like that and just.

[Olivia Walker]

And their kids are so cute.

[Avery Woods]

So cute.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm like, oh, my God, I wish my kids turn out like that.

[Avery Woods]

Would you ever do something like Dancing with the stars?

[Olivia Walker]

100%.

[Avery Woods]

Can you dance?

[Olivia Walker]

I used to dance. Oh, I can't get, like, frozen now.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, really?

[Olivia Walker]

But hey, I will start stretching now. If they were like, come on. Next season.

[Avery Woods]

She's like, in the splits next week.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. I'm like, hey, so is it special guest night? I'll, like, buy myself a ticket and be in the back, like, trying to do a split.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I can't even do a tick tock dance. There's no way in hell I'd be caught. Yeah. No. How do you shake your hips like that?

[Olivia Walker]

Professional dance is always coming up with them. Can we have, like, an average person make the dance and, like, Charlie Jamila,

[Avery Woods]

the way she moves so good.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, I remember that one, like, back in the day. Oh, yeah. I was like, I don't know how your hips move like that.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, I know.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm trying. It's not working.

[Avery Woods]

There was a time where I was, like, trying to be hip and young and, like, keeping up with the cool kids and, like, doing those dances. And then I realized, you know what? Bravery. It's just not for you.

[Olivia Walker]

No, I don't. I don't think I'm a dancer one.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I tried to do this one, you know, but.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah, the eye one.

[Olivia Walker]

And everyone was like, girl, you missed miserably. Okay. How you. How do you do that?

[Avery Woods]

Like, the transitions are difficult. Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Okay, so you had multiple connections throughout the season.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. What.

[Avery Woods]

Which connection would you say would be the strongest that you had that you felt the most confident in at that moment? Doesn't have to be now.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm trying to think. I went through a Lot of couples.

[Avery Woods]

You did.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, a lot. I think I covered up with every guy.

[Avery Woods]

But you were never. I was never annoyed with you. Like, I would have told you if I was like, girl, why are you doing this? Just to stay. But I feel like you were genuine.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. I can't fake it.

[Avery Woods]

Like, yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Sometimes I tell myself, like, come on. But I just can't. And I think, like, I also, like, during that process, you kind of forget cameras are there. So I was just like, I don't want to waste their time. I don't want to waste my time. Like, I'm not gonna force something that's not gonna happen. But I'm gonna say most genuine connection was probably with the girls, even though I didn't couple up with them.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, that's lovely.

[Olivia Walker]

But, like, every week I was like, who wants a card for next week? And then they'll, like, save her. She's our friend.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, that's sweet, though, because I feel like if you are so stuck all together because the guys and girls always, like, go off on their own. If it's weird, it's gonna be weird.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, yeah.

[Avery Woods]

If it's Caddy, it's gonna be.

[Olivia Walker]

And it's like, tight knit from the start. Like, I remember when I first walked in, it had literally been like a day. And like, after, like, walking around and the producers, like, they're being here for a day, but I sat with all the girls and they're like, me and my couple are really strong. And I was like, oh, okay. So I can't imagine what it would be like coming in, like, later.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And, like, trying to form a connection.

[Avery Woods]

No, it'd be so hard.

[Olivia Walker]

So hard. Yeah, because everyone's like, friends. They're like, no, can'. Ago.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, my God. Well, you. It's always like, very glam life, and they show a lot of very glamorous things. But what's something that people wouldn't expect or that's not as glamorous? Being on the show.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, that you don't sleep for a long period of time or. Really? Yeah. There's no clocks. You have no idea what time it is.

[Avery Woods]

No clocks?

[Olivia Walker]

No. It's vacation.

[Avery Woods]

How do you know when to go to bed?

[Olivia Walker]

You just go when you're told. I remember coming out of the villa, like, you would have to ask to go to the toilet. And I would, like, come out of the villa being like, can I go to the bathroom? And I'm like, I don't need to ask anyone. And then I, like, thought about it. I was like 29 year olds asking for the toilet. It's really strange, but I feel like that's really odd. Or after challenges of, like, when you had slime.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, I was gonna ask about that. Why are they interviewing you when you're still covered in that shit?

[Olivia Walker]

But we're like sitting outside for like an hour. So, like, the slime challenge would stay stick to us. And, like, when slime, like, hardens, it starts to hurt. And it was freezing that day. So cold. So we were always sitting outside waiting to go one by one. And then they ran out of hot water, which I never heard before, but they ran out of hot water. So we're freezing, no water. Just being told, like, a lot of people don't like us. This is what the Internet thinks of you. So that was like, so.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, no. Well, you were told that.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, I was like, this challenge, like the mean tweet challenge.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, the challenge. Okay, okay.

[Olivia Walker]

And when you don't know the outside world, you believe anything and you only

[Avery Woods]

know what you're going through and experiencing, but you don't know how it's being perceived on tv.

[Olivia Walker]

And that's the first time we really saw what everyone really thought.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And you're like, oh, God.

[Avery Woods]

You're like, oh, shit.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Thanks, guys.

[Avery Woods]

Do you know what I constantly wonder when I watch Love Island? I'm like, how do they do their nails? How do they do their lashes? Like your maintenance stuff, like self tanning, like, how do you do all that stuff?

[Olivia Walker]

So I self tan because. Yeah, like, I had, like a base tan. Lucky. Because Australia was warm, but nails were so hard. I was just doing stick ons in the end.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

[Olivia Walker]

Lashes. I only ever wear mascara, but the girls would do like, strip lash in the cord.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

We have an off day on a Friday. Oh, yeah. So it's on a Friday is like when they do after sun, if you're on that, you do laundry, you do maintenance kind of things. But at that point, like, you really forget you're on tv.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

So, like, I know, like, we would have fake nails, like when we're doing the recoupling and someone would say something and it goes flying off. And we'd be like, ah, whatever.

[Avery Woods]

That'd be me. Because I do press ons. I'll just like, randomly lose when I'm like.

[Olivia Walker]

My press ons were like, dying or. We had nail glue. I remember this. We had nail glue and we left the lid and it tipped on the vanity and we came back and we ripped it off and it Ripped the vanity. And we're like, we didn't do that. And they're like, girl, you're on camera. Like it was you. And I was like, I need a nail tip.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, yeah. They should have one. They should have a hairdresser there.

[Olivia Walker]

The braids have what I know. I'm like, I want. And I have tapes.

[Avery Woods]

I was gonna say extensions. What about like, a root touch up, please?

Really?

And the boys had a barber. I'm sorry, that's crazy.

[Olivia Walker]

I brought my own tape. And I was like, I'm just gonna have to teach one of you how to tape my extensions if they start coming out. So that's why my extensions always out, because, like, I'm straightening my hair sections and they're like, zooming in. I'm like, you're doing me dirty.

[Avery Woods]

I would. I would never be able. No. I would look atrocious.

[Olivia Walker]

It's. And sometimes you just want to wake up and not put makeup on or

[Avery Woods]

walk around, but you have to every single day.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, up to the glam room. I'm like, oh, my God. But, hey, it was not a bad life. The glam room was beautiful.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I was walking around a pool in Fiji.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Eating whatever I want. So. Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Also, everyone looks so hot and is, like, constantly eating. I said, couldn't be me.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, we would eat all the time. I was trying to fill in time.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, I feel you. Were you working out?

[Olivia Walker]

No, There was a gym, but, like, no. Yeah, I. We did one work. I think I ran around the place, like, once. I was like, yeah, yeah, no more for me.

[Avery Woods]

You're like, hey, cameras, can you just make sure you got me working out really quick because it's never gonna happen.

[Olivia Walker]

Should we chat, guys? Should we sit down and chat?

[Avery Woods]

Wait, I heard something like, you're not allowed to go in the pool or something. Is that true?

[Olivia Walker]

Yes. Everyone asks why you can't go in the boat. You can't have mice. So, like, on off days, we were really naughty and, like, we'd jump in the pool and be like, so. And the producers were like, no, like, come running in. Or we'd go, like, the off camera bathroom. There's, like, one. And we'd lock ourselves in there and they're, like, banging. I'm obsessed because they wanted to capture it.

[Avery Woods]

But, like, that sounds like me trying to go to the bathroom away from my kids.

[Olivia Walker]

Yes.

[Avery Woods]

Like, there's, like, little hands and they're like, mommy. And I'm like, let me pee in peace for five seconds.

[Olivia Walker]

That was them. They're like, we'll get the key. I'm like, get it. Because by the time you come back, I'm done to come back.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, my God. Okay. Would you ever go back on reality TV 100?

Really?

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. As much as like, I feel like this past Love island show I did, it was like a bit different to like the Love island before. And like, I just really saw like a different aspect of reality. I love being on television. I love like opening my life.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

To everyone and I feel like, why not? I said why not to the violin and it got me here, so.

[Avery Woods]

Exactly. I was gonna say, if you weren't on reality TV and didn't have this massive growth on social media, what do you think you'd be doing right now?

[Olivia Walker]

If I wasn't on tv.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. Like if you didn't do influencing social media, what do you think your career would be?

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like I'd be doing marketing. Like I have a degree in communications, so I do something like that.

[Avery Woods]

Educated queen.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, thanks. I feel like communications though. Everyone does it.

[Avery Woods]

No, you know what education is. Education.

[Olivia Walker]

Exactly.

[Avery Woods]

No one can take that away from you no matter what you study.

[Olivia Walker]

But I like, I love the business side of it. Yeah. I love seeing like how brands like their way of like marketing, like ta.

[Avery Woods]

Oh yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Like I love Maureen and I love how she does.

[Avery Woods]

Love Maureen.

[Olivia Walker]

She is so talented.

[Avery Woods]

She is the most supportive person of my husband and I because she knows like our, about our past careers and stuff and she just is a big supporter of first responders and so she's just incredible.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, yeah, I love her.

[Avery Woods]

The most incredible person.

[Olivia Walker]

I love seeing like everything she does and like how they do their brand trip. So yeah, I gotta do something like that.

[Avery Woods]

It's insane when you don't know about social media and then you kind of get thrown in because people don't realize the business aspect to it.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh my God.

[Avery Woods]

There is so much behind the scenes and people can talk all the that they want, but I'm like, you don't understand. This is a multi billion dollar business and there's so much that goes into it. And yeah, marketing is so important.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. I didn't like personally looking at influences before the show and stuff. I was like, great life. Yeah, like, awesome. Like how hard can it be? And like, look, it's not the hardest job. I definitely think I don't want to be that person is like, oh my God, this is so hard. Yeah. But there is like a big aspect of business creativity, like time and effort has to go into it. And I haven't seen, like, I didn't know about that till I was in it and like, seeing other people.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, I don't know if you know, a quiet style. Like, yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Bridget, I love her. Yes. I love her so much.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, they. Both of the sisters work so hard.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, they're going from like 6:00am earlier to like. Yeah, well, 10:00pm at night.

[Avery Woods]

And Danielle worked in corporate and then built her social media career.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, and so impressive.

[Avery Woods]

Just, I love them so much. I was in the Hamptons with Danielle or with Bridget, summer of 2023, I think, when I went to the Hamptons.

I don't remember.

But the nicest humans, like, so nice, obsessed with them, work so hard and the quality of their content is so fire.

[Olivia Walker]

And they're so, like, I remember I went on a trip with them and they were so generous with advice.

[Avery Woods]

Yes.

[Olivia Walker]

And like, this is how you edit. Use this app. Try this. And I'm like, some people in the field could be like, gatekeeping always. Like, we're so different.

[Avery Woods]

I never understand that.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, I'm not. Maybe if you started seeing 12 videos and I'm like, literally brushing my hair with the same comb.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. Well, here's my thing. I think people in this industry automatically think if you try to help someone else and they grow, that will lessen your success. There is room for everybody on social media.

[Olivia Walker]

100. Like, you're there for a reason.

[Avery Woods]

Yes.

[Olivia Walker]

You didn't know each other before.

[Avery Woods]

Yes. And just because you're doing well, it doesn't mean I can't do well as well. So I, I feel like that's one of my. Yeah, that's one of my favorite things to do on like, brand trips or things like this is talking to people that do the same job as me. Because we always bounce back ideas or tell each other, like, I'll share something. Like, I've never heard of that or vice versa. But you have to help each other.

[Olivia Walker]

And it's so good, like, learning, like, being so new in this space. I love, like, learning from people that have been in it for a while.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And like, even they talk about, like, highs and lows and like, wait it out. Like, you're fine.

[Avery Woods]

Yes. It's not that bad because it's scary when you, when you're like, when you have like a day of shit engagement, you're like, oh, my career is over.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. I'm like. And then. So anyone hiring? Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And then the next day you're like, okay, I'm going to be fine. But there is a lot of that

[Olivia Walker]

ebbs and flows, especially with, like, trends and stuff. That's why, like, I'm trying to build my brand, like, outside of Love Island. Like, I'm very appreciative of, like, remember where you came from.

[Avery Woods]

Yes.

[Olivia Walker]

But I'm also not into. Now that there's more seasons, with more seasons, there's more people with more people, more success. So it's great to, like, meet people and say, like, how did you pull away from. Yeah, this.

[Avery Woods]

Speaking of building your brand and growing your business, you moved to la.

[Olivia Walker]

Yes.

[Avery Woods]

How soon after leaving the villa did you move to la?

[Olivia Walker]

I've only moved to LA quite recently.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, really?

[Olivia Walker]

Okay. Yeah. So last year after the show, we were like, traveling for like. Yeah, you're two or four days, which was so amazing. So grateful. And then we filmed the new show in la, so I moved out there for then. And then I've just been there ever since.

[Avery Woods]

I'm curious, coming from Australia, how you like it?

[Olivia Walker]

I like the weather.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And I live in Manhattan now, so it's like by the beach.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

So it's like more out of town of la, but I like it.

[Avery Woods]

Manhattan is the place to be. I really love it.

[Olivia Walker]

I love New York.

[Avery Woods]

Really.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay.

[Avery Woods]

I could see you in New York, but I just.

[Olivia Walker]

I heard everyone leaves in the summer.

[Avery Woods]

Hamptons, they go to the Hamptons.

[Olivia Walker]

So why am I getting out? And I don't grow up in snow, so I'm like, I'm living in a place for snow.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, it's beautiful. But, like, I was just there.

I actually got back from New York

Thursday night at 10pm and then flew. I went. Yeah. Because I went home, back to LA to my kids. And then I woke up the next morning and spent the morning with them and then flew to Vegas at 10. So I'm very tired. But I was gonna say, it's not even barely fall there and I was shivering like such a California girl. It is so cold there.

[Olivia Walker]

But I love how everyone just gets up and goes.

[Avery Woods]

They get up and go. I love that everyone is so motivated. They're always busy and they know how to have a good time and get a drink at the end of the day. But, like, they're go, go. Yeah, but that's like Bridget and Danielle like this. That's where they come. Yeah. But it is true. Everyone does leave to the Hamptons, which is beautiful. It's so beautiful.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. Maybe I need to find a friend.

[Avery Woods]

Have you been to the Hamptons?

[Olivia Walker]

Yes. I went with Revolt oh, amazing. The weekend. And I was like, this is stunning.

[Avery Woods]

You literally could spend a whole summer there. Like, I spent two full weeks there because I did back to back brand trips and I was like, I want to take my kids here.

[Olivia Walker]

It is so, like the houses.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, everyone's so friendly.

[Avery Woods]

The little shops.

[Olivia Walker]

I was like, yeah, I could live there.

[Avery Woods]

I know, I know.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

But I. I love la, but I don't like the city.

[Olivia Walker]

So.

[Avery Woods]

We also live outside the city.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Like just for schools and stuff. But I also just. The traffic, I can't do it. Oh, my God, the traffic's so crazy.

[Olivia Walker]

Drives so fast.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, everyone drives fast. Crazy on their phone.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm like, wow.

[Avery Woods]

Constantly just like this.

[Olivia Walker]

Like we have like mobile, like phone cameras in Australia. So, like, you couldn't be like that.

[Avery Woods]

Wait, really?

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, I remember I was in this Uber once and the guy was like, full on, like, taking photos of the sunset. I was like, wow. Oh, this other time, I nearly got in a. Not actually a punch up, but I was like, what the hell is going on? When I first came to America, he started turning on a wreck. I was like, whoa.

[Avery Woods]

Is that not a thing in Australia?

[Olivia Walker]

No, red. Stop.

[Avery Woods]

You guys drive on opposite. Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

[Olivia Walker]

And I was like, buddy, you might want to take your life. But like, I am. I am not like, what are you doing? And he was looking at me funny and I'm like, what? Like, where I come from, red is stop, green is go. I feel like in America sometimes it's like yellow. Like, it's like we're coming to a stop. Yellow is like, race the person next to you.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, no, they don't. They don't care. Like, we were literally. I was stopped at a red the other day and this, this sports car next to me, like a Porsche, just like looked both ways and just went straight through the red. Like, people just don't care in la.

[Olivia Walker]

No, it's also, hey, sometimes you get there quicker. So I'm like, she's like, defending them.

[Avery Woods]

Well, if you're there on time, I

[Olivia Walker]

just sit in the back.

[Avery Woods]

No, it's People just have, like, don't give a energy in la. And they're also very powerful rich people.

[Olivia Walker]

Wow.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

That 405, though.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, my God.

[Olivia Walker]

Takes me four hours and five minutes.

[Avery Woods]

Do you. Do you drive?

[Olivia Walker]

No.

[Avery Woods]

Drive in Australia, not America?

[Olivia Walker]

I wouldn't trust myself.

[Avery Woods]

No, I couldn't. Anytime I go overseas, I. I'm like, I could never rent a car. Drive a car.

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like you could say, because I feel like you're chill, but I can't imagine driving from, like, Manhattan to West Hollywood myself. I'd be like, I can do it, but, like, my conscience is like, let's save the planet and stay off the road.

[Avery Woods]

I'm dead. Have you made friends in la?

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, I feel like being, like, at events.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I like, met people and then met friends through them.

[Avery Woods]

But yeah, also be on social media. Like, when you get mutual people and then you realize you live in the same place, it's so much easier.

[Olivia Walker]

I just met Chelsea from selling Sunset. I live in Manhattan. Oh, like, perfect. Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

I'm obsessed with her. She's.

[Olivia Walker]

She's so funny.

[Avery Woods]

She's so funny and honest. Yesterday, like, what is that?

[Olivia Walker]

Like, oh, in Stitches is like hysteric.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, I'm gonna use that in stitches.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

I really like that.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. She's so funny.

[Avery Woods]

She's so hot, hilarious. Such a good mom. And she does not give a. You guys have very similar energy.

[Olivia Walker]

No, I need to watch her on Selling Sunset.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, you haven't seen her.

[Olivia Walker]

I seen, like, the early seasons.

[Avery Woods]

Like, she's tea.

[Olivia Walker]

She's tea.

[Avery Woods]

She's tea.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. I was hearing about. She just comes in and says it.

[Avery Woods]

She's. She's like, you okay?

[Olivia Walker]

I love her.

[Avery Woods]

Very similar vibes.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm gonna watch on the flight home.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, you're gonna love it. Also, her boobs.

[Olivia Walker]

Crazy.

[Avery Woods]

I mean, so perk. Unreal. Yeah, unreal.

[Olivia Walker]

Well, this black dress yesterday, I was like.

[Avery Woods]

I know. I was watching her on stage. I was always all I was looking at.

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like everyone was her. I was like, yeah, she's so hot.

[Avery Woods]

Okay, what. What's a part of being an influencer that would surprise you? Oh, that you didn't expect before you started social media?

[Olivia Walker]

I didn't expect one. Like, the money. That sounds horrible to say, but, like, I really.

[Avery Woods]

No, it's so true. No, I came from being a nurse girl. When I sat with my management, I said, I'm sorry. How much am I making for doing

[Olivia Walker]

that video that it was like. Yeah, I went from working, like, a bad job And I was like 200 a week. I was like, yes. I'm like, guys, drinks on me this week. And then I sit like I did a random. I was like, oh, companies have this much money.

[Avery Woods]

I know, Isn't it insane?

[Olivia Walker]

That was definitely a struggle. Another one would be how hard, like the creativity. Because it's like it is a niche market and to stay with the trends, but like how to do the trend in your own way.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And I feel like how to like, keep people engaged and I like, try to be myself the entire way. Yeah, you are. And like, I really, sometimes I'm like, put more energy or like, get into it.

[Avery Woods]

I think the consistency too is really difficult. And again, like, coming from my career, I always say I'll never complain about what I do for work. It's ridiculous. But I think people don't understand that if you allow it to be, it can be a 24, 7 job.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And also you. The algorithm really caters to consistency. And I remember when I was first girl, like my first two years on Tick Tock, when I first started growing for two years straight, I did not miss a single day. I would post minimum three videos a

[Olivia Walker]

day on TikTok when I need this

[Avery Woods]

advice, like, oh, yeah. So TikTok really caters to consistency and how many times you post a day. Yeah. So I think it's a little bit different now. Like, I was told by my Tick Tock rep, I like go into like a whole let's grow on social media spiel. But hashtags don't matter anymore on Tick Tock. That's a big one. So the new AI system picks up by word of mouth and like what you're showing and whatever words are on the screen. So Tick Tock doesn't really cater to hashtags. Yeah. And then when I first started growing, which was like, I don't know, I did social media for like, honestly eight years solid before I really started making money from it. But when Tick Tock was first growing in like 2019, 2020, it was like three to four videos a day. Everyone, everyone was just posting because it was so easy to grow back then.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Like the Charlie D', Amelios where you can just have like 100 million followers.

[Olivia Walker]

I always get stuck with like, do people want to see that? Do they?

[Avery Woods]

Yes, they do.

[Olivia Walker]

What I get in my head, no

[Avery Woods]

one thing about social media is just post it like they want it. They're following you for you. They don't.

[Olivia Walker]

No matter what it is, they don't

[Avery Woods]

care what you share. They just want to see you and see.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay, that's. Okay. Good advice.

[Avery Woods]

And I feel like the more real, the better. People, like, like, the raw. Funny.

[Olivia Walker]

That isn't so, like, cut, edited, preppy.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I feel like that's why celebrities are kind of going, like, the social media route is because that's where the money is at now. Like, it used to be TV and commercials for advertisement, and now the money is going to brands for social media because they're technically paying less to an influencer than what they would pay for a commercial, like for the super bowl or something, you know? So that's why the money's so high.

[Olivia Walker]

That makes so much sense. I see so many celebrities, like, doing TikToks and stuff.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah. It's insane. And the I. I read. I'm like, going into, like, a, like, such a nerd study right now.

[Olivia Walker]

No, I. I'm like. So I'm like, writing.

[Avery Woods]

I read a study saying that the medium income for social media is far surpassed television and movies, so.

[Olivia Walker]

That is wild.

[Avery Woods]

I know. I know.

[Olivia Walker]

Wow.

[Avery Woods]

So it is. It is crazy to think about, like, what we're able to do for the money. It's such a blessing. Yeah. But it is shocking when you hear it.

[Olivia Walker]

That was, like, the biggest thing, I think. Yeah. I was like, this is like, a real deal.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. But I mean, look at you. You're thriving with your Amazon jewelry, too, which is just iconic.

[Olivia Walker]

Thank you.

[Avery Woods]

You've talked about keeping parts of your life private. So how do you decide? I'm gonna share this and then I'm gonna keep it to.

[Olivia Walker]

Yes. I try and be as open as possible. I mean, at the start, like, of my relationship, I was, like, very private about it, more due to the fact that that person wanted to, like, I gotta respect them as well. And they didn't sign up for this life.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

So especially in the early days of, like, before we were dating, it's like, I. It's not that I'm don't think it's gonna work or I want to, like, keep my love life completely offline, which isn't the case. I came from a dating show.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

If I didn't want any love life, like, I wouldn't have gone on that. But I think it's mainly just, like, respecting the people that I'm with and, like, making sure they're comfortable with it and then working out, like, a middle ground. Like, what. It's, like, the best way for us both because my boyfriend has the platform himself. So I also don't want to always open them up to, like, getting the comments that I could be getting, if you know what I mean, so. But I think it's like a slow working game. When I'm like, more familiar with, like, posting my relationship online. I feel like it'll just come more consistency.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I know there's a lot of buzz about your relationship. I.

[Olivia Walker]

Why, guys?

[Avery Woods]

Because people are interested in you and your love life. I think also people want you to be happy. Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And I'm so grateful for that. Like, when I did post my boyfriend, everyone was like, oh, my God, we're so happy for you. So, like, that's great.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. The video, the trend where you guys are walking and he picks you up and I said, oh, he's a tall king.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. Thank you. But I didn't bend my legs. And everyone's like, she looks like the girl from White Chicks. Oh.

[Avery Woods]

And I'm like, straight legs.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I was like, this was like a very, like, let's do it as a joke.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Out the front of Target in like, crazy outfit.

[Avery Woods]

Rumors are that he's like an athlete. Is that true?

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

I'll be honest with you. I'm like, not a sports person.

No.

[Olivia Walker]

That's.

[Avery Woods]

So I probably would have no idea who he is.

[Olivia Walker]

No, he isn't.

[Avery Woods]

But go sports.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Athletes are hot. You're like, period.

[Olivia Walker]

No, he's. He's really good. He like being able to help me with, like, through social media himself.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, I love that.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. And he was just like, down to earth. Like, brings the best side out. I feel like I'm such, like a hard, independent, like, I can do everything by myself, but I'm able to, like, be more soft girl era with him. So.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I also think it's healthy the way that you have your brand for yourself.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And you don't need to share details about your relationship in order to be successful or find success. And you have that on your own. But, like, you can enjoy your happiness with him off camera.

[Friend/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like, especially in like, Love island beyond the Villa, like, I. For me, I think it's very big for, like, people to have their own personalities.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And then be stronger together as a team.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And like, that was because it was only early days. Then I was like, okay, this is about my life. It's too early. Like, yeah, if we do another season, he might come on. But it's me.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Who's on the show. You know what I mean?

[Avery Woods]

Exactly.

No.

[Olivia Walker]

Good for you.

[Avery Woods]

That's important to have I feel like people can lose track of that really quickly, and I'm just. My husband doesn't have a single social media app.

[Olivia Walker]

Wait. That's amazing.

[Avery Woods]

I know. It's really incredible.

[Olivia Walker]

That is great.

[Avery Woods]

If he's in one of my TikToks, I'm, like, pulling teeth. I'm like, can you please do this with me? He's like, no, no. I don't want to be on camera, but I don't. I respect that.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, that's the same way. I'm like, if you don't want to do a dance, you don't want to get in. And I'm like, yeah, it's whatever.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, I love that. Okay, so what do you think these days? Are you more of an Aussie girl or an LA girl now?

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, I feel like I'm still an Aussie girl at heart.

[Avery Woods]

You think?

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like my mannerisms is that the word has kind of turned more la.

[Avery Woods]

Really?

[Olivia Walker]

Well, like, Australians speak really quick, and I've learned to, like, slow down.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

[Olivia Walker]

My words.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like I've also learned to, like, get rid of a lot of my slang because it's like, no one on stitches. Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

I was just asking you, but I

[Olivia Walker]

was, like, with my mum and nan last week, so I feel like I've. I've, like, fallen back into the habit. Yeah, but what even is in LA go, dad? Is it, like, the smoothies? Gym? Activewear? Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Pilates in the morning, beach walks?

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Health?

[Avery Woods]

Nut salads? Like the Kardashian shaking salads?

[Olivia Walker]

I'm definitely not. I don't do Pilates.

[Avery Woods]

Oh.

[Olivia Walker]

And I. I'm like, a chick Fil.

[Avery Woods]

A girl, so we should be best friends.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. I love. I want to get into Pilates, but I know I've really flapped me, and I know I'm gonna, like, fall off the machine.

[Avery Woods]

No, you won't. Come with me to my studio. It's so private. I go to be kind.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay, wait, I've heard of them.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. There's three locations they've won in Malibu, Calabasas in Hollywood. I go to the Calabasas one, but it's so private. No one can take photos or videos. JLo's private instructor teaches there. Like, he's literally incredible.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay. Is it hard to get into?

[Avery Woods]

No. And I will tell you, I'll sign up, like, the night before and be on a wait list, and I'll always get in.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay. And I will live.

[Avery Woods]

It's just, like, a bunch of Calabasas moms that are, like, hot And I love that. Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

So who's got a new book?

[Avery Woods]

And there's like a. Literally, that's all the lockers are filled with Birkins, and there's, like, a little coffee place there. Like, it's really cute. Yeah. And it's not. It's. It's definitely challenging. Like, it'll challenge you.

[Olivia Walker]

I love that.

[Avery Woods]

But there's modifications, and you won't fall off. Like, it's not. It's not like, legree with that crazy contraption. It's just like a standard reformer.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay. That makes me feel better. It's a love sport. And I love.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Keep me active. It's just like Pilates. I'm like, oh, my God. I feel like I've missed the train. Everyone knows what they're doing.

[Avery Woods]

No, just. You should do it. You would like it. It's really fun. And the Malibu location is gorgeous, too, if you want to be closer to the water. I love Malibu Nobu, too. The farmers market.

[Olivia Walker]

I haven't been there. I haven't. Is there Nobu? Is that the one there?

[Avery Woods]

No.

Boo's there. Soho House.

[Olivia Walker]

So pretty.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. So gorgeous. I love Nobu. Last time I was at Nobu, I was literally sitting right next to Kim and North. Yeah. And she was like, oh, my God. I didn't even recognize it was north because she had a blue wig on. And I was like, oh, my God, her hair is so cute.

[Olivia Walker]

I love.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. Don't ever talk to anyone at Nobu, by the way. That's famous. You know that, right?

[Olivia Walker]

No.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. You'll get kicked out immediately if you approach anyone at their table.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, I would never approach a table.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, I would. 100. I had someone tell me, because I was about to immediately. Yeah, everyone there is famous. And I'm like, you think I'm not going to go up to this person? Be like, I'm obsessed with you?

[Olivia Walker]

Maybe. Like, if I was walking past them on the way. By the way, I love you.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And keep walking.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, I.

[Avery Woods]

One of my friends was like, no, security will literally kick you out.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Avery Woods]

Isn't that insane?

[Olivia Walker]

I'm too busy. Like, when the food's coming.

[Avery Woods]

I'm like, that, too. That, too.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm like, wow, with the view. Okay. That's really good to know.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I don't know if it was, like, on Daily Mail. It's like, she approached me.

[Avery Woods]

I had someone that one of my friends sat next to, someone really, really famous, and the famous person stopped her and asked where her earrings were from. And my friend got kicked out.

[Olivia Walker]

No.

[Avery Woods]

And they had to get the manager. And she was like, I. She stopped me and asked me about my jewelry. Like, I wasn't approaching her. They were like, super strict. I know. I love that. We're like on this entire tangent, what's something that you miss the most about Australia?

[Olivia Walker]

I miss the food. I miss my friends and family.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

But like, yeah, I would say I also miss, like, Australian summers.

[Avery Woods]

I heard it's just epic. But everyone there's so hot. Like, ridiculously hot.

I've never met anyone from Australia that

I'm like, you're less than an 8 out of 10.

[Olivia Walker]

Wait, that's really good.

[Avery Woods]

You. Everyone's has the hottest body. Face cards. Lethal. Always tan with like the best tan lines. It's really crazy.

[Olivia Walker]

We have like strong UV down there.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

It is so good. It's like the one thing I found crazy was the hype on Erwan in la.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, you're not an Erewhon girl.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, I love it.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, okay.

[Olivia Walker]

But we have like so many similar restaurants in Australia.

[Avery Woods]

Like, really?

[Olivia Walker]

Salad bar where you can get like chicken? Yeah. That's like comet.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, so is that the food that you miss? Salad bars like that?

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, like Australian food. It's like fresh. But don't get me wrong, when I go to Australia, I'm like, I need Chipotle and Chick Fil A. Oh, you're

[Avery Woods]

a Chipotle girl too.

[Olivia Walker]

We don't have those.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah. Chipotle gives me diarrhea every time.

[Olivia Walker]

Really?

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

From.

[Avery Woods]

They got something going on.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay, now I'm never gonna eat it.

[Avery Woods]

No, no, no. If it's not affecting you. It's not like, it's not bad food. I think it's just like, like, I don't know if it's like the salt or their salsa or whatever. Probably because I just drench everything in queso.

[Olivia Walker]

I can't eat that.

[Avery Woods]

So that's probably why. Yeah. You're getting something legitimately healthy at Chipotle and I'm just like getting queso with bread.

[Olivia Walker]

I can't. It's like, I don't like ranch. Oh, yeah, I know. It's really.

[Avery Woods]

Maybe we can't be friends.

[Olivia Walker]

Like, I tried those ranch Doritos.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, those weren't. Oh, cool ranch.

[Olivia Walker]

Cool Ranch.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. The blue pack. That's my daughter's favorite. My 4 year old.

[Olivia Walker]

I don't like those. I've never had the ranch dip.

[Avery Woods]

Oh.

[Olivia Walker]

But I thought it would just taste like those.

[Avery Woods]

We need to get you A good ruffle lay's chip. Like the. Yeah, like they're lay's potato chip with ruffles with like a creamy ranch dip.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay, so it's not ranch flavor. Well, do the Doritos taste like the ranch?

[Avery Woods]

No, because they're just potato chips. But the cool ranch Doritos do. Yeah. My daughter walks around with Dorito dust fingers all day long.

[Olivia Walker]

I love Doritos. The red ones.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah.

Don't get me started on Cheeto puffs, though. I'll up some Cheetos. I know.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, dude.

[Avery Woods]

Talking about burning a hole in your stomach.

[Olivia Walker]

And I love it.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, me too.

[Olivia Walker]

And then give me some sriracha sauce on top.

[Avery Woods]

Are you kidding?

[Olivia Walker]

I love spice.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, okay. You're a spicy girl.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Do you like Thai food?

[Olivia Walker]

Yes.

[Avery Woods]

Really spicy Thai food? Yes.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

They have love. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Hershey's.

[Avery Woods]

Was it good?

[Olivia Walker]

I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Oh, me, I just discovered it like a month ago.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah, Your life's changed.

[Olivia Walker]

Unreal. Replied to my story. Like, I was like, I love this. So I didn't have it. And she's like, there's too much sugar. I'm like, don't be an almond. Like, what?

[Avery Woods]

My husband, like, five nights a week in bed, we're sitting down watching our show, and he's eating a fat ass bowl of cinnamon toast Crunch.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, my God. That's like.

[Avery Woods]

That's his, like, late night snack of choice.

[Olivia Walker]

It is so good.

[Avery Woods]

At 37 years old.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm gonna buy you these Hershey Kisses and you have to try them.

[Avery Woods]

Well, and those boxes are all made for kids. Like, they're all distracting and stuff on the back. No, that'll still entertain me for days.

[Olivia Walker]

grocery store and get all the Americans.

Yes.

[Olivia Walker]

I saw spray on cheese. Oh, I.

[Avery Woods]

What's it called? Cheese Whiz.

[Olivia Walker]

I think that is not. Is it butter or. I think it's cheese.

[Avery Woods]

No, it's cheese.

[Olivia Walker]

That's not a real thing.

[Avery Woods]

It's like in a whipped cream can. No, it really is. People will literally get Like Triscuit crackers and spray Cheese Whiz. And it looks like. What's that? Where you spray. No, what's like the confetti that you spray. Silly String. It looks like Silly String. It's like Plasticky.

[Olivia Walker]

And that's a popular thing.

[Avery Woods]

Very popular.

[Olivia Walker]

That was crazy. I was like, I swear I've seen this in like Nickelodeon.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

No, I didn't think it was real.

[Avery Woods]

It's like the green slime but cheese version. It's so true. Wow. Okay. Want to end with a rapid fire.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah. Rap song.

[Avery Woods]

I was like, okay, no. Yeah, I'm definitely not gonna rap and not gonna dance sense. Yeah. I'm like the most monotone boring person ever.

[Olivia Walker]

You're not boring.

[Avery Woods]

You don't think so?

[Olivia Walker]

No.

[Avery Woods]

Thanks. I did go to the club last night. That was crazy.

[Olivia Walker]

I don't think you're monotone or boring.

[Avery Woods]

Thank you.

[Olivia Walker]

You couldn't be boring and have a platform.

[Avery Woods]

That's true.

[Olivia Walker]

And you couldn't be monotone either.

[Avery Woods]

I used to be more controversial, but,

[Olivia Walker]

you know, add a little bit of spice. Had a little bit. Everyone loves that salt, man.

[Avery Woods]

They really do. They can talk all the they want, but they're watching it.

[Olivia Walker]

Thank you.

[Avery Woods]

I can't ask for anything better. Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And sometimes this just secretly agreeing but

[Avery Woods]

publicly hating and you, you click on the hate comment. It's like, follow back.

[Olivia Walker]

Some of them are amazing.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

I'm like, claps to you. That was creative.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah. People will destroy me. I'm like, you know what? I'll give you that one.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Avery Woods]

When I cut my hair short, they're like Lord Farquaad. Yeah, that's true. I did belong on track. I literally look like that little prince.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, that is wild. No, but the follow back is when they're like, I never liked you. Like, I don't want yourself anymore. Still follow back Tea.

[Olivia Walker]

Thank you.

Wait, what? I didn't know that.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

So vodka is a depressant yeah, I'm pretty sure I should stop drinking those vodka martinis.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, you're a martini.

[Avery Woods]

I'm a dirty martini girl.

[Olivia Walker]

Filthy or just dirty?

[Avery Woods]

Extra dirty. I don't do it filthy. I just like a little extra splash blue cheese.

[Olivia Walker]

They're just so, like, potent.

[Avery Woods]

They're very potent. But I will say, like, you only need one drink, and you're good, and you're good. Whereas if I get a margarita, I need, like, four.

[Olivia Walker]

Yeah, that is true.

[Avery Woods]

You know, so I'll drink, like, last night, I drink, like, one and a half dirty martinis, and I had, like, the perfect buzz all night.

[Olivia Walker]

That.

[Avery Woods]

Because when do you know what's worse than skinny jeans? When they wear tight ass skinny jeans with, like, tennis shoes.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh.

[Olivia Walker]

With the rip in the knee.

[Avery Woods]

Oh. Or like that, like, pleated.

They buy them and then they go home and purposely take the time to use kitchen scissors and cut them.

[Olivia Walker]

Not that, like, gross. That is like.

[Avery Woods]

And then when their nipple hangs out the side. Don't get me started.

[Olivia Walker]

Don't wear shirts.

[Avery Woods]

Literally, just take your shirt off. What is that?

[Olivia Walker]

And then they're filming from the back with this skinny little pencil strip. I'm like, oh.

[Avery Woods]

[Olivia Walker]

That also kind of gives me the egg.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, I'm sorry. Like, I know.

[Olivia Walker]

How many run throughs did you. And were you like. Yeah. Yeah. Biceps look strong.

[Friend/Interviewer]

[Avery Woods]

That they, like, give it all in their first rep and then the rest is, like, so shitty because they're like, I'm cutting it anyways.

[Olivia Walker]

It's fine.

[Avery Woods]

It doesn't matter.

[Olivia Walker]

I can't with that. I really can't. And then they have the audacity to be like, oh, that was cringe. Yeah. Like you spent four hours working out which trap was better? Like, literally.

[Avery Woods]

And they have like a mic clip to them. Stop.

[Olivia Walker]

[Avery Woods]

The longest ride was like, the movie. The movie made me so horny.

[Olivia Walker]

Oh, my God. The way he came flowers to the thing.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah. Like, I don't know if he's ever been in a movie again, but doesn't need.

[Avery Woods]

Okay, what's your favorite pump up song? Like, nights you're going out with the girls, you're getting ready. What's your song?

[Olivia Walker]

I love any song by Future.

[Avery Woods]

I love Future.

[Olivia Walker]

Okay. Because a lot of people this. No, forget that. I was gonna say a lot of people don't teach us such a common artist. Yeah, but, like, last night, we were talking about, like, Taylor Swift. Like, a lot of the girls were listening to, like, House of Life of a Show Girl as their pump up song.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

[Olivia Walker]

But, like, I feel like I'm more like a future. I love Lil Baby.

[Avery Woods]

Exactly. Okay. I want to end by. I kind of want to know what your future plans are. Like, what do you want to do? What do you see yourself doing with your career and your platform? Like, what's an ideal career for you out of this?

[Olivia Walker]

I feel like recently, I would say, like, the past couple of months, I've been, like, really trying to, like, try different avenues. And, like, I'm so grateful that this job, like, gives you so many opportunities, but, like, things like hosting and, like, just kind of moving away from reality, not forgetting it, but, like, having, like, two components. So I'M just trying to get my face in everything, learn from everyone. But. But, yeah, I don't know. My goal, like, obviously, like, host something,

[Avery Woods]

and you never know what comes with social media. Like, there's so many things that I've done that I'm like, I would never in a million years think that I would do that, but I'm so glad I did.

[Olivia Walker]

And in, like, two months, I'm like, oh, my God, I didn't realize I could do that.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Olivia Walker]

And I loved it.
