Hello, listener. Hi. Before we kick off today's episode, we'd like to quickly spook ourselves. Yes, we have a fabulous event at Acme this Thursday and Friday night, where we will be hosting the sing-along of Wicked. For good. And you know what else would be good, listener? For?

Good. Good. No, if you came. Yes. There's still time to book tickets. And we'd love to see your sweaty, smiling face in the darkness. Yes, maybe you'll be wearing pink, maybe you'll be wearing green. And maybe you'll be wearing yellow.

Someone will be. It'll be me. And we'd love to see you there. It's going to be amazing. So get a ticket and come along and join us. And now it's on with today's episode. Goodbye. Really?

Hello and welcome to death to everyone. On the road. Dude, dude. Well. Well, the space car broke down. Yes. And so, Deldron and I refused to wait, so we had to leave Matt with the space car. Yes.

So instead, we're just driving our own rental Buick through space. Yes. And as strong independent women, that's what works. I have to be so long since I've driven. It's fun. Maybe we'll fire Matt. Yeah. So this is Death to Everyone.

This is a weird edition of the show where we are driving to set of our web series, and we thought we'd take you into the magic. It's currently 7.36 in the morning. We've been up since 5. Yes. And we went to bed at 1. Yes. This is the first day of filming our web series

of an eight-day shoot for six episodes. Yeah. You know, it'll have a longer duration than it was to film. Yeah. Yeah. And we're going to be perfect on every take. I think.

I know that there are lines. There are lines, there are sides, like... Okay, so we... I think that's the first thing. I don't think we need to know these words. Okay, good, because I don't... Yesterday, one of our fabulous producers, Annie, was escorting me around town, and we were chatting,

and she was like, how are you feeling about just, like, being on set and being on screen and, like, your lines? It's like, I haven't thought about that. At all. I think about my makeup. I'll be fine. Wait, is that a thing? Yeah.

Would that stress people out normally? Should I be stressed about that? I wasn't. Before this. We learned from rehearsal, it's impossible to know lines. You kind of just say that the words near them. Yeah.

And I like that. Yeah. Well, you know, like, on the Gilmore girls, they used to have, like, you know, double the amount of lines of any other show. and they had to be word perfect were there lots of long takes

yes lots of long walking through Stars Hollow takes while they topped making obscure references and Buffy which I'm rewatching now is like a lot of monologues and I think that's why Sarah just Sarah Michelle Geller had like a bit of a breakdown just because that's a lot of work

A lot of work for seven years of your life Yeah Um but she delivers them so well I know I touch the fire It freezes me Um Should we talk about the project now

I think we should I think we should just tell the listener A little bit more But like we still haven't done the official Press release But you guys aren't You know members of the public Yeah

You're bunk people Yeah exactly You don't have Connections to anyone outside of the media yeah what are you vanity fair

right what are you rolling stone mrs stone um did you see that I got a boost juice yesterday

I did was that with your voucher it was and how okay what did you get okay I got a mango and co mango and co

yeah wow not a green tea mango mantra no I panicked and I couldn't remember

which one we talked about so I just I actually picked another one and then I was like wait Now cancel that. Can I get this one?

The girl was like, yes. Why would that, why are you screaming? When I, at the end. Good, good. At the end I was like, well, here's my, here you go, here's the car. And then she like did something with it. Then she gave it back to me and she was like, cool, so it's like $15. What?

Like, what? How much was that green team even giving up? Well, I got that. They got a banana bread as well. Okay, well, of course. Yeah. But I was like, what do you mean? I just gave you a gift card.

She was like, that was a gift card? I was like, yes. I don't know. Did it have boost written up? Yes. What did she think it was? Like, they must have like a membership system. Oh.

With like a card. She doesn't recognize the gift card. Or listeners just sent you there. Well, because I've got two now. So I got out of the other one and I was like, are these both gift cards? Like what's going on? like, oh yeah, they are.

It's like, what did you do with it the first time around then? This is the kind of service I expect from. Boost. But it was because I was near, I was at the high point, boost. You have to wait in that wretched Emporia plan. Yes. Yeah. And it was also 8 o'clock in the morning, so there wasn't any other one else around.

Well, that's cool. You always know how to get what you need. Oh. Anyway, I did this project. Wait, was it mango and coconut? Yeah. That's a tropical sensation.

Yeah, it was like coconut, ice cream with mango and probably other things. A banana, maybe. Yes. Yeah. It was good. A classic melted sorbabe experience. Yeah, so, we're now heading to set. Yeah.

If everything goes as a bit of. plan today will have shot the first episode of our show called the witchy girls the witchy girls name reveal which like you know we're doing like a whole thing yeah this isn't just some you know us in front of a green screen talking about Netflix movies no this is a whole thing that's right and of a similar quality um yeah so it's a web series where Zelda and I playing teen witches from the year 1999

a la charmed and Buffy and a little bit of goosebumps and certainly a bit of Zach Files and round the twiz Alex Mac Alex Mac

Sabrina She's a teenage witch Yes And that festive cat Yeah And each episode is us Fighting Yeah

fighting a new enemy. So yeah, we've kind of, as we said, we got rejected for Screen Australia funding for this. Thank you so much. But in the intervening time, we, like, well, I don't know,

when I got that first bit of information of, like, the Screen Australia rejection, I just happened to be in the car with Miss Reese Nicholson and, their husband, Kairn, and was Kyrin Nicholson. And then they, like, I don't know, like, it wasn't like an immediate thing,

but like a week or two later, we were talking about it again, and Kieran was like, do you know, Comedy Republic, their theatre in the city, is going to do some more online stuff. And maybe this is a good place to start. And so they've kind of come on board

with our production, like our producer, Iris R. to share the load, as it were. Like Zelda on a Saturday night, they're going to share the load. Cheap, cheap, cheap load. Wow. Yeah. Um, yes.

Isn't that good? Now you're learning more about this project. I'm sure you're excited. Yeah, but that's it. That's all you get to know. No more. There'll be more information on these car drives. We're hoping to pick up this conversation at the very end as we're leaving set.

Yeah. And then you can get a sense. of how awful today went. And maybe we put something from today's experience in the bunker. Oh, yeah. Well, Zaldi, you're about to have... Wait, no. I guess...

No, because you've done... I'm just saying you're... This is like a new experience for you. Yeah, totally. Being on set. But you have been on set, but more in this capacity, I suppose. Yeah, I've been on set more of a hand machine on, like, music videos.

project last year. Years. But, yeah, now it's my time to shine. And so I guess we'll find out what you learn through the day, and certainly what I learned, but where the bathrooms are. Who we like, who we hate. You know, this is the beginning of building a community on set.

Yeah, I like that. And who will Zelda have a crush on? We'll find out at the end of it, this whole... they've already begun. Beautiful. But actually, though. Who? No, I can't see them.

Oh, you just, can you infer it? It's pretty obvious. Oh. Who did we meet yesterday? Oh, a great choice. Yeah. What a dream boat. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, we don't disappoint. Yeah, that's cool. Um, well, should we... Okay, maybe... to end this like intro segment yeah we should apocalypse apocalypse yeah oh well this mini just cut me off yeah so I think that um I destroy them first uh mini cooper not mini cooper mini cooper

does minicupa drive a minic cooper I don't know actually we should get confirmation on that Yeah. Well, I'll send her a message after we get out of the car and see if we can get to the bottom of that one. Oh, sister. If we get out of the car. Yeah, I guess Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper, like this Mini Cooper just cut me off.

How is that, leave the apocalypse? Maybe everyone leaves their car running and we all hot box in the world's ozone later. What do you think about that, Zelda? I think I understand most of it. You know, when people, like, kill themselves in the garages by putting the, like, exhaust pipe in the... into the car.

Yeah. The whole... If they wanted to go in the car, they'd make it that way. Stop trying to fix your car. That's not how it's done. You're not a mechanic. Yeah, maybe that's it.

Everyone thinks they're a mechanic. That is my issue. Yeah. And these new cars, you can't even fix them. Oh, well... American car. I don't have to tell me that. Okay.

Okay. Well, that's good. Well, death via Mini Cooper. Mini Cooper, Super Trooper. Hmm. Okay. And, listener, we'll be right back for you and a humble four seconds. Cooper.

For us in ten hours. Woo-bye. Hello. Listener. Oh. We're back. It's been a full day. It has been, okay, what, 12 hours?

12 hours. 12 hours. And we're different people now. We are. We're just. We're, um, like. incredible people. We're high on the endorphins of being on

the screen. As much as we've loved, squandering our youth. We're driving past my favorite aquarium right now. Nature pets and aquariums. Don't stalk us. Yes, as I said, as much as we've adored squandering our youths on you, the audio only, it appears we're being ascended to a whole new level.

Screen! Screen! Yes. okay so what was your highlight of the day Lisa Susan well should we say

full context it's a six episode series but obviously obviously if you're in the biz you wouldn't know this but you don't film things in sequence necessarily so we did a bit of this and a bit of that so it's all kind of scrambled egg kind of vibe

but of the scenes that we did the players that we had in place well okay so first what I will say is We had some amazing cameos, but I kind of think we have to hold that back. Yeah. We can't say, but there's some, like, truly, like, completely above our pay grade celebrities in this entire thing. Yeah. That have nothing to do with us.

But, yeah, somehow we got to do, like, scenes in the show. Yeah. And the show is kind of like, you know, I think when we were writing it, it was like, that classic thing in like Simpsons episode, the classic Simpsons where it's like the episode starts in one place and with one character or one scenario but ends in somewhere completely differently. Yes. And like each scene is just like 10,000 different little things happening. So we, you know, obviously, a reaching towards that. So, like, we have a lot of these scenes where we just have, like, one character coming and do one thing really quickly. But hopefully there's enough, like, meat on the bones that it could be, like, a really...

Your favourite character. If someone, it will be their favorite character. Yes, even though they only have, yeah, two minutes on screen or something. Yeah, so hopefully... And then it all just kind of hangs together as it follows, these two witchy girls through their lives. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

But I had some... Like, a really fabulous start to the day where it was just my arms that were required. And so I was laying back with a camera over my head with a lot of thick makeup over my arms. And that was fabulous. And I think it was just the perfect way to start off. It was like the most ego-killing, like, yeah. You do it, your dirty little pig.

Did you get to see in that footage yet? Yes, I got to see where my hands were through the little monitor while I was performing. Did it look like Gordon A? Golden Man Yes, it did Amazing And I tried to do a little bit of hovering

Yes A little bounce NPC Susan Yes, well My performance will be similar to a Grand Theft daughter woman Hey, get back here Where do you think you're going, baby?

Baby! Get over here! Don't take a picture of me That's when she got run over by the car Um Yes We did A scene with a lot of screaming

And it wasn't indoors No Well we did two In fact There's a lot of screaming in this show I'm now realizing that All the jokes we've written Just end with us

going like, ah! That's because I like it. I think it's funny. There's nothing funny about screaming

and looking helpless. Yes. Uh, so that's good. Far out. Um, yeah, but, oh,

a rather fabulous day. And how about you? What was your, what was your rose? What did I like? Um, I mean, I'm

Not experienced with being in front of the camera on like a proper, proper set and, you know, media piece like this. Oh, sorry, that's the car. But, so that was quite fun and kind of getting into the flow of the lingo. Yeah. Like, it's not just like action. It's like they start filming and then they start, what do they say? They said another thing. Okay.

Roll it. Sound speed. And then. action. And at one point somebody walked past me and I looked at them and they said

traveling and I whatever you say to you? Where to? Yeah. Yeah, good one voyage.

So I really like that. Yeah. I like it when they said Can we audition the chair? Put the chair back in. I think sometimes when people are yeah, like wanting

to check out a prop in frame they'll say let's audition the chair. Just to like see if it works. And then if it looks good, they'll keep it. And then if it doesn't, sorry, dear, you didn't make the cut. Get up. We like the wheelie chair. And it was a very hot day.

Oh, my God. In drag, obviously. Oh, really. And in between every single take for the entire day, as soon as the camera stopped rolling, there was one to four people around us with fans, It's both mechanical and... What?

Yeah. Mechanical and... Electric. Yes. And that was quite chic as well. Yeah. Dabbing sweat off her faces. Sweatty little peeing.

Yes. Yeah. So I would actually say... Oh, wait. Well, because we can't really put any people in or things because we'll give it away. What will do that? My pitch for what goes in the bunker from today's experience,

is a turbo-powered electric handheld fan. Oh, truly. Yeah. I feel like that, oh, the fabulous leaf blower that they threw it, like, aimed at our faces. Yes, that was very good. Yeah. The other thing that I loved that I was not, didn't know was a thing. So, like, obviously we've had scripts that we've been rehearsing with.

Oh? And, like, have printed out the different versions, and, like, that's lovely. And, like, they're so cool. and like in, you know, it looks exactly like what you think it would look like. But then today, to my delight, what's this? A miniscript on like A5 paper. And it only has the things that we're shooting on the day.

It was so good. I think we're learning that acting for screen, easy. Easy. Actually, though, coming from having just done that Fountain Lakes Christmas, Yeah. Where I did, like, the first two shows I, like, fucked up my opening line.

Just, like, left my skull. Yeah. But also had, like, you know, blocks of text to remember and had to do them all in one go. Yeah. Without any mistakes, as you do with theater. This is like, fuck it up. You just do it again. Do it again?

No one will ever know. And what was also chic about doing it again It's not like every time we fuck up It's like cut Oh start again You just have a beat And then you just say it again Yeah

I like that I like it's weird I don't know if the editors would like that But that'll be fine Yeah Um Yes And do you think this acting stuff is for you

I enjoyed it Um Quite a bit Well Home and away here she comes Yeah, I wonder if I could act as anyone other than a character called Zelda. Thankfully, you'll never have to find out. No, because when Zelda in this show is also playing another character.

True. And that has a very different set of traits, also from your personalities. Yes, of course. But, yes, they're too distinct. Versatility. Yes. I, however, I'm just playing a woman that screams in every scene. But

It's good Um So Yeah I think we can put them both in Yeah I'm generous A little fan

And then a big fan Intended just for leaves Yeah, I'm a big fan A little fans Yeah Look at how fast you're going You stupid dickhead Yeah

It's bloody 40 Where are you going Also I don't see any workers Though Who am I gonna hit Now I don't know Who I'm angry at Yeah

Are you all Breezing past Can you not see The fucking speed limit What's happening here? Building like a new road? I don't know

But that guy's car just Ugh Speed Also congratulations Now you're just closer to the bit Where you have to go slow Yeah Like what has that achieved?

Also as if you're rushing to get home Obviously your life seems terrible Where are you going in such a hurry Dear Come on Come on Come on And now we're back for 40

okay okay well thank you so much listener yes I think okay so here's the other thing this project that we're embarking on

which is far too ridiculous in scale like as far as what we were kind of setting out to do is going to become a bit of a thing in the next few months

where we're going to try and like start ramping up and building towards some live shows that are going to be built around releasing the show. Yeah. So expect to hear us harp on about the show a lot more,

which is why I think it's also good to hold back some details so that you can still delight later on. Yes. But know that you're the first to have ever heard about this fabulous thing that is, you know, a web series. But maybe the best web series of all time. Well, they haven't done the announcement yet, I'm sure. We'd be in the ranking.

Well, yes. but yes the time will soon come where we will beg you to gracious with your presence out of our events celebrating this series yes which we're thinking of doing a resident well no we know we're doing a residency before yeah so it's actually going to be really fun

it will be a series of shows but that's what we're kind of like a bit insecure about which we're trying to figure out is like how do you kind of build a show that's like come back next week or whatever but like Or how do you kind of like work around, you know, having to turn over. Anyway, this is all just stuff for us to think about.

And you'd have just delight in once we figured it out. And you're like, oh, I would love to do that. Yeah. I'll go see lazy and zeal for five weeks in a row. Right. No one's going to do. No, they will. They'll love it.

Well, yeah. Especially when each week gets better. Well, I guess. Anywho, we'll sort that out. Yeah. Listener, thank you. And I know this is a weird pod. But next week's will be the same, and then after that we'll be back to normal.

Yeah, but this is like behind the curtain. Yeah. Behind the silver curtain. This is a DTE exclusive presentation. Yeah. Yeah. Expect the unexpected. Okay.

Good night. I'll sleep tight. You beautiful thing. Death everyone was recorded inside of this car by us. Our theme song and music was provided, however, by Easy Centric and Angus Leslie. If you have something to say to us, get in another car, drive real fast so he catch us. And then at the traffic lights, push down your window and look at us, and then we'll look at you, and then you say, And then throw us a gift card for a juicerie.

Yes, please. I would like to sample their device. Oh, and if you do want to send us a little voice message, we won't be hearing it for a second, but you can send it to speak home. dot com slash death to everyone and won't you support us please at patreon.coms as death to everyone or indeed just keep your ears open for when we start filling them with begging to come to our show.
