Starting point is 00:00:00 A listener production. Oh damn, what's that stink? Twisties? Uh, oven sausage rolls and potato gems? And other foods of the yellow variety? That's right. We're visited once again by those crazy land party boys as they get up to mischief and do other things
Starting point is 00:00:22 on this week's episode of the Aunty Donna podcast. Check it out! Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i Oh fuck yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Can you throw in some of his Back of the Cup-it stuff? I think I want to do one. How was periods one and two boys? Mrs Mathers is a fucking slave driver. Yeah, it was really good. Slave driver.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah, I had a lot of fun. I learnt about trigonometry. I'm, yeah. Yeah. It's hard to get my head around, like a triangle. So it's like a triangle and one side can- 45 degrees. Yeah, it can help you learn about another side.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Right angle triangle, 45 degrees in the corner. Yeah. It's not that hard. No, but then it's like if you know the length of two of them and you know that it's a 45 degree you can work out the length of the long bit. Perpendicular triangles, man, it's actually not that. That stuff to me is a fucking breeze. I'm finding with the first two periods of this year that I'm, now that I'm honing in on my expertise and crafts with the electives I'm choosing I'm now starting to excel. What have you chosen this year? Philosophy. Who's your favorite philosopher? Mine's Kant. Kant? Emmanuel.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Yeah mine's probably John Butler. Yeah, that's really powerful. What's wrong with that? You seem furious. Just a good answer. Yeah, Zebra. Zebra, what do you think Zebra's about? What do you think Zebra's about? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's about the yin and the yang of life. That's really good. And I'm also doing digital photography. I have a coffee table that's a yin-yang shape. Yeah, nice. I've got a necklace that I got on eBay. After watching Fight Club, which changed my life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:12 In terms of just the way I see the bullshit now. Have you seen Fight Club? Yep. How cool. Okay, what happens at the end? Yeah, what's the twist? What's the twist with Brad Pitt's character? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And Edward Norton. I'll give you a clue. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt's character are what? Well, Brad Pitt's not alive. Kind of, kind of. I can't tell whether he's based on that. I really like it. I thought it was really cool when...
Starting point is 00:03:54 Meatloaf's in it. Yeah, he's really cool in it. He has tits. Yeah, it's part of the plot. Now... Just keep going. I just wanted to- I just love it. And I don't have to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I don't have to prove myself. It's really quite thoughtful. What's the first rule of Project Mayhem? Don't talk about it. Oh, kind of. Sorry, checks out. I'll let you slide on this occasion. Yeah, thanks.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Now what I'm trying to do with my electives as well is I'm taking this. I got that LBC to based on. Try and take the opportunity to use it to get some of my VCEs tagged off because I'm gonna try and excel it into career. You're doing a one and two. I'm doing three fours, I'm doing one or two.
Starting point is 00:04:42 You can't do three fours in 10. Yeah. Yeah, the normal, yeah average. They were like, we would really like you to, but the government won't allow us for me. They wanted me to do three four drama because we're like, if we get you up and represent the school as with your dramatic monologues, that might get the school more funding
Starting point is 00:05:02 because you're elite at it as far as acting goes. And they often be drama captain in year 10 and I turned it down because there was some great year 11s who deserved it for this year. They said to me doing a VCD one and two would be a waste of your time. That's what the vice principal said to me. Visual communication and design.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Visual communication and design. They said that would be a waste of time. They said, your skills with Photoshop 2.0 at a level that even Mr. Tagliabug was like, fuck. He was like, this shit. I did a concept for Toy Story 3 poster. I saw that, that was really good.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Yeah. And I was doing shit like, I was using Gushy and Blur, and I was doing RGB noise. I was putting grain, and the way I was doing it. Did you do real graffiti and then, or was that all on the computer? The graffiti effect on the toys? So I, this is the thing, right? This is why the teachers have needed to pull me aside and go, hey, we're just going to
Starting point is 00:06:22 back off. We're just going to back off like you do your thing. Yeah, yeah. They said, this isn't a Steiner school. This is a regular Catholic regional college. But for you, in terms of your ability, and we wanna see you succeed, we just need to back off. Because I'm doing shit like in my media class.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Well, the way you did the three is graffiti. Like they'd added the three. This is the thing. Yeah. In my media class, right? So I'm doing fine art, visual communications, design, media, three that will, you know, traditionally will bring my end to score down. I'm excelling at such a level that they are predicting, you know, mid 90s, which maybe
Starting point is 00:07:07 doesn't sound that high, but considering the path I'm going down is actually fucking unbelievable. So I'm taking photos in media, right? I'm doing the painting and fine art of the three, taking the photos in media, and then using those photos in my VCD project. How are you doing three? What are the, what are the sub, what are you talking about? It's the first day of school. taking the photos in media and then using those photos in my VCD project. How are you doing three? What are you talking about? It's the first day of school.
Starting point is 00:07:29 It's the first day of your 10. How is that possible? You did this in your nine? No, no, no. I live four steps ahead. So what's actually what's literally happened? So for me, this is I'm predicting how this year's gonna play. What's happened so far literally? He did a Toy Story 3 poster last year. For Year 9 digital media or whatever. Year 9 digital media. Yeah. I did a poster for
Starting point is 00:07:57 Chicken Run. I also broke down the narrative structure of the Christopher Nolan film memento What? For media. Okay. My what did you do? So I analyzed the film and I went because I watched that film and I was like Dad was fucking I don't know what the fuck is going on here. I didn't know what the fuck was going on You didn't get it? No, I got it. At the, by the end, I got it, obviously. It's very clear. Glad you caught up, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Have you guys seen The Matrix? Yes, and, and reanimated, and Animatrix, and revolutions. The Wachowskis are the 21st century George Lucas. To put it plainly. To put it bluntly actually. Shot in Sydney, beautiful Sydney. Oh is it? I watched it for the first time over the holidays. I thought it was so good. It has, you'd actually like it.
Starting point is 00:08:59 It has shades and references to religious. Well yeah, I watched it at church. Yeah, he's computed Jesus in some ways. That's simplistic, but yeah. I am. I was being simplistic, so. But just be careful with that because like it's important to not, if you reduce things to its base, then you lose the, what would the word be, the gradient.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I want you to say that to a master chef making a jus. I would love to hear you say that to a master chef making a jus. Because they often, like they don't know what they're doing until towards the end of the season. No, but they're reducing. I'm doing... No, all right, no, I'm not talking about the show Master Chef. It's like the biggest show on television at the moment.
Starting point is 00:09:43 No, I'm talking about a chef working at an expert level. I will tell you, cause I'm doing VCE home economics, home cooking. Are you? Yeah, cause it's a bludge, man. Well- It's a bludge. Why don't you come to school to bludge? But the reason I got a job at KFC after school was because-
Starting point is 00:10:00 He got it for you. Yeah. I remember I got you the job. Yeah, I know. Sorry. But remember I got you the job. Yeah, I know. Sorry. But you work at the front and I work, I chose to work in the back as a cook, as a chef. And the reason I did that was because I was like, I would, me, the way my brain works, I learn on the job. Let's test you.
Starting point is 00:10:18 How do you make a zinger? How do you make a zinger? All right. We're from scratch. So first of all, you go into the fridge, you get the pre-marinated zinger breast fillets. You put them in the flour that contains the 11 herbs and spices. Which are?
Starting point is 00:10:32 Well, I can't say, I've sworn an oath to God. They don't let staff members know. They don't let every staff member know. What, do you know them? I know what the 11th one is. I know the one that no one else knows. Yeah, what I tell you know, do you know them? I know what the 11th one is. I Know the one that no one else knows. Yeah, what? If I tell you you boys have to swear to me on your fucking lives You have to swear on God you have to swear on God
Starting point is 00:10:58 I don't want to know because he will smite you if you break this. Do you want to be smit? No, I don't want to know the 11th herb. I don't think I can. It's MSG. Now if you fucking tell a soul you're dead. I knew that. Did you? I can't handle this. I know the 11th. Anyway you got a double coat. You got a flour, water, flour again. Put it in the deep fryer and then a Zinger burger, standard Zinger burger, bread, mayo, lettuce, Zinger fillet, bread. Do you guys wanna know how I make a milkshake at Dairy Bell? Yeah, yeah. We do two scoops of ice cream, but with the small scoop.
Starting point is 00:11:39 We do milk and then we do two squirts of whatever flavour. And if they wanna mix, we do one squirt of each. Pretty basic that's what I expect that's what I tend to do at home when I'm crafting with my desserts. Yeah. Moody craft. So what I'll do if I'm studying for one of my classes I'll put an Oz on. Mm. Oz. Yeah. Which is that you'll see it eventually it's an art house TV series. No I watch season one I felt like season one gave me everything I needed out of that show, so I felt no desire to continue watching it. Name the worst thing that happens in season one of Oz.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Well, there's the big prison break at the very end of season one, which is pretty full on. Yes, that is true. There is a prison break at the end of season, it's on SBS on Monday nights. I've seen prison break, that also is a prison break at the end of season one. Yeah, Channel 7. The guy from- Why don't you flick over to SBS now and then? The detective from Law and Order SVU falls in love. We don't get-
Starting point is 00:12:35 That's like season five, man. No, I'm pretty sure it happens in season one. No, it doesn't. Well, I've always seen season one. Christopher Maloney doesn't come in for a while. We don't get SBS at my house. What are you talking about? It's because we live up the...
Starting point is 00:12:48 It's one of the public... It's free. No, it's because we live up the hill. The quality of the transmission is really bad. Sometimes. That's why I don't watch South Park. That's why I couldn't keep up to date with South Park with you guys, because the quality of the transmission was bad on the hill.
Starting point is 00:13:02 South Park's actually quite juvenile. I don't think you're missing out on much. I hope in the years to come that they drop the potty mouth and the farting and the joking there and they sort of come into themselves a bit more. The other subject I'm doing is legal studies because the transition into law, so I'll be doing drama. They wouldn't let me do drama to the level. I went in and performed a bit of Shakespeare for the drama teacher, Miss Poundset,
Starting point is 00:13:27 and then also the principal of the school, and they went just step outside for a minute, and they brought back and said, we can't facilitate the skills you have. So they're just like, just wait until you get year 12, and then we'll get you back in. You'll get a 50, like just show in straight in 50 for drama. until you get your 12 and then we'll get you back in you get a 50 like just show in straight in 50 for drama. Your and can I just say your performance your performance in in which one?
Starting point is 00:13:55 You're in town junior was so strong. It was a it was good I had some notes. Oh yeah? But I thought nah let him make the mistakes. I good. I had some notes. Oh yeah? But I thought, nah, let him make the mistakes. I'd love to hear your notes. I don't think it's going to benefit you telling you, pointing out your flaws.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Did you just hear? You've got a couple of habits. Did you just hear? You've got a couple of habits that I don't think you're aware of. Oh yeah, we'll see. Yeah, you do this with your hands when you're just standing there, not doing anything.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And I was like, that's not a character thing. Bobby Strong would never do that. I asked? That's a Broden thing, and he's not aware of it. Just rub your thumb across your fingers. What other performance have you seen me do that in? When you were in Noises Off, your character also did that. It was Noises Off Junior.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Noises Off Junior? Where they cut the second half. They cut the second act because we just couldn't afford to turn the set. Urinetown Junior, I didn't know that Urinetown was about toilets and urine because they cut all of that from Urinetown Junior. Yeah, and also they changed the name to You're In Town. Y-O-U-R-E. And they're just charging for, I didn't know what rooms they were charging for.
Starting point is 00:15:14 It was odd to cut all the urine references. Some of the feedback I got from teachers who went and saw that show, Ms Morris, English teacher from some of the science teachers saying how moved with my performance. I thought you were amazing. I saw that show, Miss Morris English teacher from some of the science teachers saying how moved with my performance. I thought you were amazing. Forgive me if I take the feedback of people who see every musical or play this show has put on for the last 20 years, okay?
Starting point is 00:15:33 This show. Aside from what you think is right and what you think is wrong. What do you mean by this show? The shows that I've been in. Oh. Your in town noises off. Forgive me if I take the feedback of teachers
Starting point is 00:15:44 who see it every year. The Crucible. Junior. Yeah. The Crucible Junior was really powerful. Yeah. How the West was Warped. How the West was Warped.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Junior. It is a junior show. It's already a junior show. Yeah, there's no junior. I know. Back in the 80s. Fiddler on the Roof Junior. Your portrayal of an old man who can't,
Starting point is 00:16:05 Topple. Yeah, who can't, your portrayal of an old man who can't accept, who can't accept the prejudice and the changing nature of his time. You were, when you played that at 13 in Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. It felt quite lived in. Teachers loved it.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah, the only problem for me was, again, even with that character, you were doing this thing with your, see, the fact that you're unaware of it even now as we speak. Because I don't do it. Is actually a concern. I think you want me to be doing that. It concerns me for your future in the performing arts, because if you're not able to take that criticism,
Starting point is 00:16:43 go, yep, correct, you're right, I do do that, I understand, I accept, I'm going to work on that. Do you know the drama schools that I've already done short courses for? Do you know that? No. Not NIDA, MTC, VCA. I've paid all of them via parental support, $300 to $400 for two week courses in the break. Also, I don't want to like, I'm sorry to be rude Mark,
Starting point is 00:17:09 but he was also like second or third in consideration for a rev ad. Yeah, I didn't want to have to bring that up. Well, no, yeah. Well, I'm actually, you know, the principal's daughter, Marnie, she's actually in Saddle Club. Yeah. And at the moment is considering
Starting point is 00:17:26 my proposition of dating her yeah there's she gives the I've seen Marnie she gives the energy of someone who will go on to be in warning the channel 9 telly play sorry should we talk about our electives yeah you talk about our electives? Yeah, you talk about your electives. Um, I'm going to be doing, uh, music. Um, I'm going to be doing music. And what do you play? Uh, vocal, which is an instrument. What's your, uh, vocal is an instrument. Oh no, I believe that.
Starting point is 00:17:56 What is your, um, vocal range? How many octaves can you say? Um, well, I mean, I've got a vocal range of three and a half octaves. That's a lot. Isn't that like Mariah Carey? It's Mariah Carey. That is in the Mariah Carey, but I'm really shaky in the bottom octave and a half. And I'm really like weak in the top octave and a half.
Starting point is 00:18:21 But I do have three and a half octaves. Um, but my main focus at the moment is I'm really struggling with jazz rhythm. Cause it's like, you don't just go- Syncopation. Yeah. You don't just go, da da da da. You've got to go like da da da da da da da da da. You'll get it. You'll get it. You'll figure it out. Well, like, yeah. I don't play any instruments, but I've read most music theory books. Oh, that's a shame. You't play any instruments, but I've read most music theory books. I've read most music theory books, so I understand the theory and the...
Starting point is 00:18:50 What do you mean by most? The fabric of... just most of that are available in the library. Oh, in the library. Oh, yeah, okay. Listen, I would recommend... I know there's a lot. Yeah, because they've been writing... like, music theory is thousands of years old. I'm just saying I've read most of what's available to me.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I'm only one man. Can I just, I'm happy to sit down with your parents and have this chat directly, but I recommend at least becoming proficient or passable with at least one instrument because it will expand your brain in directions you didn't know you were capable of expanding it. Chop Suey. You like that song? Love to eat it, love to play it. You know that song? Yeah. By System of a Damn? Yeah. Man produced that. His name is Rick Rubin. I know. Correct.

I'm going to be honest with you. Like, my days are full, man. And yeah, I could do that because- What are you doing all day? Tell me through a day of yours that you're so full. Well I wake up pretty early.

Where do you live? Oh, like, you know. Do you bus or walk? A bus. Well, it's a combination of walking and busing.
Starting point is 00:20:31 So I walk to the bus stop. That's about a five minute walk. Bus is about 25 minutes. And then I get in. So I wake up early, right? And I have my egg on toast, you know, that I have to cook myself because my parents actually like You're old enough to learn those skills now and I am how do you cook an egg boil it to perfection?

Do you do oven nachos? I do sissies, baked beans, salsa and tasty cheese. Salsa is really good too, really widens the flavour palette. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:51 So I'm doing music and then I'm doing psychology instead of science. I'm doing one, two psychology instead of science. We're going to learn about the Stanford Prison Experiment this week. Are you doing psychology? Yeah. What am doing psychology? Yeah. What am I thinking? I don't know yet. You need to be working a little harder then.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I mean I haven't even done a single class in it yet. Well maybe you should have. I read all the textbooks before we even started. What do you mean by all the textbooks? Just not every textbook. I'm sorry I've been challenging you a lot just just all the textbooks that I had to purchase because I didn't have time to read this summer I was too busy taking in culture what did you do I saw nine movies oh
Starting point is 00:22:37 yeah I did it in between chase and tail but yeah I chased a lot of tail and was successful. I had sex 25 times. I've got to slow down. I would say I had the sluttiest summer I've had in quite a while. How much sex did you have? I had sex only four times but with a lot of different people. So I only had sex 23 times. I can drill down on that? When did you have that surgery? Pardon?

Fuck, man, this guy. I feel sorry for you.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Because... It is unrealistic to expect one person to be able to give you everything that you need. That is unrealistic. You know, everyone has two parents for a reason. Every person. Every single person. Has two parents for a reason. Every person, every single person. Has two parents for a reason, one can't. One cannot do the job.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Of other, I've seen kids with one parent, they're fucked. Fucked. And you, the 16 year old has some pretty out there theories and opinions. They're just, they're fucked man. That's a really full on thing. They're not balanced like me. How did you come to this? How did you come to this?
Starting point is 00:24:35 How did I come to this? Yeah. What do you mean? This theory. Well I tried dating. I tried being, you know, I tried the traditional, you know, which really is just capitalism, man. That's just the government being like, buy a house, keep the economy going. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Do you know during the Iraq war that the Americans, do you know they took all the, what am I going to say? They took all the oil. Fuck. It's a lot like 1984. They did it for oil. It's like 1984. What is like 1984?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Like capitalism and war and like. It's a lot like 1984. They did it for oil. It's like 1984. What is like 1984? Capitalism and war and like... But what about 1984? What is 1984? I studied it last year. Yeah. It's a book about, and there's a movie as well. But it's called 1984, but it was written in 1948, so it's set in the future, but for when it was written.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And it's all about a guy who like has heaps of sex. Um, but then they're filming him and then, uh, but then, cause he has heaps of sex. It's really cool. But it's also about like, um, it's about totalitarian states. And it's about the way that we allow, we allow, we use the way that people use observation as a form of control even when not being observed. A little book you might. And three examples of that are in the seed where they don't know about the microphones and in the final moment after
Starting point is 00:26:07 he has been brainwashed and another example is, you sound like a parrot right now. You sound like you're just regurgitating an essay you wrote last year. To me it doesn't sound like you deeply understood and connected with the text. A little book you should read, both of you called Of Mice and Men. We studied that as well last year. Yeah? Yeah, we studied that as well last year. Yeah, I read that as well. We're in the same English class, man. Yeah, we all had to read it.
Starting point is 00:26:32 I didn't actually read it. It was required reading. Yeah, I didn't read it. Well, I just watched the movie. No, I just looked up the footnotes. I watched, did you guys watch the, what's the one with Kenneth Branagh? Kenneth Branagh and the- Thor.
Starting point is 00:26:48 No, it wasn't Thor. Thor. No, we studied it in year eight with Kenneth Branagh of Shakespeare. You did a production of it. Hamlet. No, it was the one, the funny one. You were in a production of it.
Starting point is 00:27:03 You played Kenneth Branagh's part. Much Ado About Nothing. Much Ado About Nothing. It's actually really funny and interesting and it's about how- You're just hilarious. And it's about how when society structures romance and places expectations on people- You're regurgitating again. It doesn't sound like you've actually-
Starting point is 00:27:24 Go on. Like, I sound like you've actually... Go on. Like I'd like to know your actual opinion on these pieces. My opinion is that when they... You're closing your eyes like you're trying to remember something.
