Starting point is 00:01:34 To you. We are in, like, this is an episode that we are recording an hour before it goes out. Yeah. Which has never happened before. Never ever. So what you're hearing is. It's so current. The most up So what you're hearing is... It's so current. The most up-to-date you're ever going to hear.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Absolutely been run ragged. Just got back from the Scream Queen. Not Queens. Oh. For legal reasons. Ryan. Ryan Murphy is going to come for us. A Scream Queen tour. Yesterday. He is gonna come for us. Yeah a scream Queen tour
Starting point is 00:02:07 Yesterday and I am Haggard I am destroyed Why has no one talked about how fucking crazy touring is touring is? So it the giveaway was last week when you showed me the touring app Yeah, I had like wake up at blah blah then here Yeah, yeah, but it was like you would be scrolling but it was else also for the one day. Yes It was like there was not a day where we we didn't have to go and catch a plane by Like seven in the morning in one case from Perth to Sydney yawning thinking yeah, in one case from Sydney to from Perth to Sydney, we had to catch a 3am, get into the lobby at
Starting point is 00:02:48 3am after getting there the night before and performing until 11.30 and then get on the plane and then land and had an hour to do our makeup and then at the event and then the meet and greet and then... Oh my god. And then the sacrifice. What I I will say is what a time I really was like quite nervous going on this tour because it was with like heavy hitters from the American franchise and the Philippines. Um, but I was really nervous that I was going to be like really odd one out and
Starting point is 00:03:22 kind of be backstage with the gals and they'd all kind of be like, and there's the other one. Yeah. But they were so lovely and so immediately just like, we're not, there was no like weirdness of like, who the fuck are you? They were just like, Hey girl, like come on, let's do tequila shots and have fun. And so, I don't know, those girls are very nice. Did they all know each other? I think some of them those girls are very nice. Did they all know each other?
Starting point is 00:03:47 I think some of them had toured together before. And for some, it was like the first time meeting, but they were all like, not batting an eyelid at this kind of schedule. Like they'd all been since their season, like touring, like fucking maniacs. And it was crazy. Yeah. Yeah. They've been doing that for months. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:05 They've just been like for months. Yeah. They've just been like, like, I think Marina had just gotten off another leg of her tour. She was going to continue to do her next leg of her tour. Like she was going to do, I think Europe next. It was just crazy. Yeah. Like it really is like a weird traveling circus where people just jump in and jump off as they go.
Starting point is 00:04:25 But everyone was really kind and particularly as well, the back of house people who were running the tour were so lovely. So the grueling schedule is definitely soul destroying, but the people are really lovely. What was your favorite venue that you did? Well, we did Melbourne town hall. Yeah. Which was incredible. Like just like to be in the back of that area to think, you know, you know, the places where Peter Hellier might've stood, but that was beautiful. I think it was built in like 1865 or whatever. So when you're walking around, you're like, whoa, and everything's mahogany and like beautiful. Perth was like a mega, mega club. And that was my favorite just because there was this incredible, like each town you go
Starting point is 00:05:18 to, the promoter has like a team of people that live in that town who become like the venue liaison, like they're the ones getting you in and out of the venue and organizing things. And there was this like angelic trans girl named Kara who was there. She looked exactly like Gwen Stefani as they walked in. She was just like flawless. And when I took, cause I was so nervous on that first night and she was just there and she was such a cunt.
Starting point is 00:05:44 She was fantastic. And she was like, just because she seemed completely unfazed by any of the kind of like, oh my God, there's that person or whatever. She was just like, okay, get in here. You know what I mean? Anyway, so that was incredible and she was just such a vibe. So yeah, there was like those people along the way that were just really fun times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I like it. And it's obvious that you've been hanging out with people from a larger country because you went to four capital cities of Australia, not towns. That's true. What? From what I saw? We went to this town that was called Perth. I saw Perth. I saw Perth.
Starting point is 00:06:25 I saw this place called Brisbane, Sydney. Do you know what else happened though? Which I thought was spooky. They were like, we were in Brisbane on the last night and the show producer slash handler was like, was like, if you fuckers are ready on time, you get to meet the animals. And I was like, what, what do you mean? And they brought in like shipped into like the waiting area, a koala, a quokka, and a shit ton of snakes. And like a lizard. And we're like, the Americans. Yeah, meet and greets over, go and hold the animal.
Starting point is 00:07:05 And then yeah, I was, I was like, this is where all these photos come from of these celebrities, like holding animals. They're just like, we need that. We need that koala to come and touch Billy Eilish for three, five seconds. It's so traumatized. I mean, I, that's all I mean, I'm, I hope it's fine, but I was like, I don't really, no, I don't do that. We did. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I held that snake. You held the snake. It was put into my hands as I walked over and I was like, well, this is fabulous. But I was like, I don't know about this. I was like, these animals need to be in bed. That koala look tired. Koalas always look tired. Yeah, but that's why they're like, I don't, this isn't my meet and greet. Just being shipped around. Yeah. They're like, come on, we got to go and see Coldplay now. Like, I love that. My brother saw Coldplay this weekend. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:08:05 And he took, it was him and his wife and they took their three children. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And they were all mesmerized by the like paper glasses that make all the lights have love hearts around them. The diffraction lenses. Yes. And I was like, oh, we know about those darling. Well, at least they were more mesmerized than those gays at the club.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I know. Yeah. No, they were too jaded to care. Yeah. But yeah, the kids thought they were really cool. We made diffraction lenses for a barber night and gave them out like, so that everyone can be high and have diffraction lenses. And some people were enchanted and some people were like, why?
Starting point is 00:08:41 You were like, what's this? Yeah. Boo. They've forgotten their childlike whimsy. Sorry, I didn't give you a jockstrap. Filled with calm. But yeah, my brother's critique was that Coldplay seemed over it. How many shows have they done in Melbourne?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Like nine or something? Yeah. Well, then my brother was like, I've seen them four times. That was the worst one. Oh my god. He was over it. Yeah. And he was like, you can really tell from the audience that they,
Starting point is 00:09:11 like, newer fake fans, because when they would play an old song, they didn't know it. And he was like, I'm going to see Oasis in a few weeks. And when I see them, they'll they'll be the true fans. You know what disgusts me most? And like, whatever, like, live your life. But like concert tickets are expensive. And I just hate to hear about people wasting their money going to like bad concerts. It's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Yeah. Yeah. But how fabulous. But also when you see like straight man concerts, you're like, where are the 10,000 costume change? Why is that piano not on fire? Why are you not dressed as a motorcycle? They, I mean, the highlight of the, I mean, it's exactly that.
Starting point is 00:09:52 The highlight for all of them was that on entry, you all got a bracelet with like LEDs in it. And like they're all, they must be programmed like drones or whatever. So like the kids were excited by this, which I'll forgive them because they're seven and 10, but they were like, when yellow came on everyone's wristbands turned yellow. But then like there was some videos of like colors pulsing through the audience and stuff, which is all cool. But I'm like, that isn't like a cool crop on stage with like a floating stage that then breaks open and then there's 20 dancers in there that come out and then... It's not Jennifer Lopez's child inside of a cage.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Literally. So I'm like, I'm not mesmerized by a fucking changing color bracelet. I want like a wig. Yeah, I want a wig. But that's the thing that bracelet is as well. It's like, that's not Coldplay specific. That's now every arena tour has the LED bracelet Like and I was like also if you were at a kpop concert, you would have paid $35 for that
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah, and still had to give it back Yeah, well The The the unfortunate thing that happened at the start of the tour, and all these girls, you have to remember, have just flown fucking 25 hours to get there. So it's like, it sucks to fly to Australia. We all know that. Every Australian knows that because whenever we go somewhere, we have to stay out of the
Starting point is 00:11:19 country for at least three weeks to justify that 25 hour flight. And I've never had to get off a plane and immediately do something. And let me tell you, I can't believe these girls landed and immediately were doing a show. Like crazy or like, and just the jet lag alone. But our headliner, Miss Katya was sick. Like not just like sick, like your worst day of flu sick. So she couldn't do Perth and like was actually, and then when I, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:52 when that happened, I was like, Oh my God, what's happened? But like she was in the hotel. It was that she physically could not move. And then like that doesn't just clear up. So it was like the next night she managed to get herself up, get herself in makeup. But when I tell you this woman was having the worst time of her life because she was fighting for her life. She was just like, like, because it was like, I mean, I was on theme. They're like, you've dressed as the crypt keeper. But she was like, I think it's like when you're at that level of fame, like her meet and greets
Starting point is 00:12:31 are not just regular. Yeah. They like, you know, I like, people have no idea who the fuck I was most by and large. So I was having the time of my life because I could just be like, oh, and then also it's the first time I've ever done this. When she does this, it's like the 5,000th meet and greet and the 5,000th time that someone is like sobbing at her telling that they saved her life or whatever. And-
Starting point is 00:12:55 That's gotta take a toll. If you were sick and jet lagged and just like couldn't like get into the room, I just, and you have to do it. Well, you know that if you slip up, or not that it's a slip up, like if you don't like keep on that brave face, then someone out there is gonna be like,
Starting point is 00:13:14 Katya was mean to me. Yeah. I said that hello to her. Whatever. That woman. Disillusioned people. Yeah, and like, yeah. So it was just that, I think that was really tough.
Starting point is 00:13:24 And it was like, yeah, so it was just that, I think that was really tough. And it was like, for me, like walking into that tour for the first time ever doing like a tour was like watching like being like, what is, what does it look like when you just are doing this job? Like as a job day in, day out. And it was like, as you went down the line of each of the girls, it was like, and then it gets harder, and then it gets harder, and then you get more tired, and you never have a chance to catch up. And then it finally got to Katya, and she was just like standing there like in a hallway
Starting point is 00:13:55 being like, I just want to die. Let me fucking die. And I told her as much. It's like, yeah. But no, she was, like, it wasn't like she was, I was saying this to you, I was like, it wasn't like she was a cunt or anything. She was so lovely. Every time you saw her, she was just like giving her brave face and just being like, come on, let's do this.
Starting point is 00:14:23 But you were like, just, can we old yellow this bitch and take her out the back? Cause it was so hard to watch. But like, and then on stage you really couldn't clock it, but it was just like, fuck me. Yeah. Oh, anyway, touring. What a fabulous day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And what about you, my sister? What has happened while you've been away apart apart from your brother going to see Coldplay? Yes, well that was the most exciting thing that happened to me this week. My brother going to see Coldplay. No, so we, of course, like had the debut episode of season four of Down Under. And you were indeed away away so I hosted the viewing party and we had Sabrina Babyslut. You'll know her from podcast F2EVERONE. She joined it was amazing we are at our venue Wheat Wan and Whiskey
Starting point is 00:15:21 for the next seven weeks. Please come and join us on Friday nights. Screening starts at 7 p.m. Shows at 9 p.m. And it was amazing. It was very full and we had a few tech issues that won't recur, but it was it was great. It was so good. It was very cozy being in that room, having the reaction
Starting point is 00:15:47 that we had to every time you appeared on screen, sister. Woo! Woo! Screaming and cheering. Yeah. Literally. Oh my God. It was so good. So that was fantastic. Yeah. And then had a little bit of a night out on Smith Street. Had a little party, had a book. Yeah. Then what else have I been up to?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Well, we had Halloween. Oh, you got spooked? No. Uh-oh. The Halloween gig got cancelled because the venue closed. So instead I had my new straight friend over and we watched Star Wars Episode 5. That's not what I told you to watch. And then he had to go. He has his own podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Does he? Yeah. He does. He's like a nutritionist. So they talk about cholesterol or something. Oh my God. Should we do a collab? Yeah. And we got to eight o'clock and he was like, I got to go. Like, as we were recording at eight 30, I was like, oh, that's fine. But we still had like 20 minutes left to the movie.
Starting point is 00:16:52 It's like, oh, you're like the Senate hasn't even decided whether to disband. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, can't wait to see what happens. Do you think he talks about you in the same way that you talk about him on his nutrition podcast? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Do you think he's like, I've got my new frag friend. I hope he describes me that way to the people in his life. Um, yeah, I wonder. He wrote, he told him that you have a podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Has he listened to it? He said he was going to listen to every episode and I said, are you crazy?
Starting point is 00:17:24 And he said, no, it's going to be really nice. He's really like genuine. It's very strange. Ugh. Anyway. Hate those people. Yeah. He wrote his motorcycle over.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Wow. Very strange. Oh my God. Is he Steph from Neighbours? Maybe. But he drove it up my driveway and then, which was all fine, but then he was trying to like, get it turned around. It was so funny.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Cause he's also like reverse, do they? Nope. You just gotta walk it. Yeah, but they're really heavy. So he's like kind of balancing it on a steep hill while trying to look like hot in his little leather jacket or whatever. You need to understand that Zelda's driveway is like vertical. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Like you can't drive a car up that driveway. No. It is like straight. Yes. It's and it's all on a hill. Like every like and like once you get off her driveway, you're still on a hill. Yes. It's just at the hills at a different angle.
Starting point is 00:18:19 It's just fucked. But he did turn around and then when he was going down the driveway to get on the street, he was like, I'm scared. He shouldn't have driven up there. But it's straight people. The only other person to drive up that driveway successfully was my brother. I think you'll find Victoria Bitter drove up. She did? Did you not remember that?
Starting point is 00:18:42 Oh, you weren't there. No. Oh my God. Oh my God. So we like, we were shooting the content that's now on the Instagram, which was She did? Did you not remember that? Oh, you weren't there. No. Oh my God. Oh my God. So we were shooting the content that's now on the Instagram, which was shot in Zellers House.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Oh, maybe that's doxing you. Anyway. But then we were shooting with Victoria Bitter, Melbourne icon. And we were like, what's that sound? And then she'd just driven up this undrivable driveway and she's this tiny, tiny woman. And she just gets out of a giant car and is like, what? And we're like, did you just drive up there? And she's like, yeah, what? Why not? Oh my God. That's amazing. There was no fear in her eye at all. She was just like, that's where the house was. Didn't even want me to drive in.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Oh, that's so good. Yeah, some people just have that confidence, don't they? Yeah. Well, I grew up in the hills. So it's like, I grew up with really insane driveways and I would still not do it. It gets you on the way out. Yeah. I forgot my problem.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Cause yeah, you're going to fuck up the bottom of your car. Also there's street parking. Yeah, it's fine. Anyway, but straight people love to like be able to do it all or something. Straight people and tiny Hungarian drag queens. Yes. Oh, I love that. Yeah, so that was my Halloween night.
Starting point is 00:19:54 That does sound spooky. I was spooky. The response that there has been for your massage story. I know. People just being like, what is happening in Zelda's life? I know. Someone correctly pointed out that it is like a sitcom episode. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:11 But it's kind of like a sitcom from like an Australian contemporary sitcom where they're like, this is the like a storyline of like getting lost in love at the masseuse parlour. It's one episode long. The TAFE. Yeah. Learning parlour, it's one episode long. The TAFE, yeah, learning parlour. But everyone would watch that episode and be like, it's not believable because who would subject themselves to that? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And what else? Then I had, I did karaoke on the weekend. Oh. While you were on tour with Kutcher and Co. I was at a karaoke bar singing Linkin Park. What did you do? And Katy Perry. I did faint.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Go and give us a sample. Oh, oh no, I really couldn't possibly. It was so good. I know every word. It was haunting. But, oh, because I made the booking, apparently I'm like the boss or whatever. So they kept coming in to like tap me on the shoulder and be like, you've got 300 left on the tab or whatever. And they did it during my Lincoln park number. So I lost my spot in the second verse. I was
Starting point is 00:21:21 so annoyed because the second verse is better than the first verse. Anyway, she didn't care. Wow. They ruined your, um, it was my bad. You're like, can we start that again? I'm sorry. What was your name? Patricia ruined it.
Starting point is 00:21:35 But I also did unconditionally. Unconditional. Oh, that was so good. Um, that's incredible. A few others. Dot it in there. It was really fun. That was good. Um, that's incredible. And a few others. Dotted in there. It was really fun. That was good.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Loved that. Um, oh my God. That I forgot to tell you about my flight to Perth. Yes. Where people are like, I think I just am giving off an energy of like, talk to me. Please talk to me. Oh God. But you know, the worst part is I, they're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I really do want to have a chat. Like I would love to have it, like if we could just sit and have like an hour and a half long chat while we're flying. Instead of watching a movie. Yeah, they didn't even have movies. It was Virgin domestic. So I was just sat there like listening to my podcast and then this woman and I had my headphones on.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Wow, she tapped you. Yeah. She was like, where are you going? She had that energy too. She was ready. I guess we was like, where are you going? She had that energy too. She was ready. I guess we're both going to Perth. See, there's a difference between people who want to have a conversation, but
Starting point is 00:22:32 don't start anything and then the people who want to have a conversation, but they start it. Well, cause when I flew to Sydney for the premiere day, I got like into this chat with this guy. It was the first time I'd ever been in the business class section because I put the bid in where you can bid 70 bucks to try and get the seat, which is the lowest you can bid. I was like, I'm not paying for the flight. If I do get it, it'll be like I paid $70 for this flight, for the hour and a half long flight, but I would have tasted the delights of virgin business class.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Which is so great. Yeah. And that was so good because I sat down and they bring you a bottle of bubbles. I mean, a glass of bubbles. The guy next to me, immediately we started chatting and had the greatest, found out about his sex life with his wife and how it's changed since they have kids and like his like, you know, whole life. But this time I have it again, but in coach. So there's no wine, which is a different experience.
Starting point is 00:23:32 And this woman was like, I'm, I'm a shaman. I'm going to Perth to like, um, finish my shamanic, um, like training. Oh my God. And the highlight for me. Um, what, like training. Oh my God. And the highlight for me. Um, what is called training? Well, yeah, cause she's like, she had, um, a guide who's at like Peruvian, like a way she's gone to Peru to be trained in like the art and then had like gone to it and now she was meet to be like, to become a shaman or shaman.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I don't know. And then she'd like this, the same like guru was like gonna be in Perth and so all the women that all women and men I suppose had been like In Perth in Peru. We're going to Perth to like finish off. Yeah And we ended up going kind of in this whole conversation, but then at one point she went like this And then I was like, oh one point she went like this. And then I was like, oh, and then she was like, sorry, you must have something wrong with your throat. And I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:24:30 And she was like, sorry, I'm just, I'm like- I'm feeling something. Yeah. She was like, I think I'm cleansing your throat chakra. That's why I'm coughing. Oh. It's because she was like, bitch, I'm stealing that. Like, sneezing. I'd be like, oh, are you sick?
Starting point is 00:24:50 Sorry, I'm just helping you by cleansing your body. She was like, I must be cleansing you for tonight. Oh. But you do have a bit of a sore throat. I do now. She put a curse on me. But no, it was actually like, it turned, like it started off, at the start of the conversation, I was so like in the mode of like, this is crazy, this is going to be such a good story.
Starting point is 00:25:08 And then by the end of the conversation, I was like, this is kind of lovely. And you're very like, she was like, just very sweet and forthcoming and like, like sincere. Yes, super sincere, which I think is the thing that always like, is the difference of whether I'm like, I roll about that kind of stuff or whether, because if the person genuinely is like getting something fabulous out of the thing, whether it's like, yeah, like religion or kind of spirituality or stuff, and they seem to not be like full of shit, but are actually genuinely like, no, this is something I believe and like brings me joy.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Then immediately I kind of switched from like, Oh, to being like, Oh, okay. Like when you're explaining it and you seem really into it and it brings you joy and it doesn't seem to be hurting anyone. Like, and you're not full of shit. Yeah. Then I'm like, okay. Yeah. It's not like just feeding your ego.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah. Yeah. Like, like, you know, go ahead, clear my throat. Yeah. Yeah. Chakra. But yeah, so it's good. Good time.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Yeah. What age bracket was she? She was in the like 50 to 60 age bracket. That's great. And do you know what she said, which was fantastic, is that she was like, I had this huge awakening around COVID. Like so everyone was in lockdown. And it was kind of like another calling or whatever, because she was like a nurse. And so like had this like whole way into like spiritual, like this kind of spirituality through nursing. And then she had like really started like changing her whole life and going to Peru and do it like learning. And then, um, her husband, she was like, our relationship really changed.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We've been together for like 20 years, but he had not had that kind of huge awakening or anything. And so he felt like he was suddenly like, who am I with? Like who is this person? And she was like, and he's like trying to kind of learn about what I'm learning. And so this, she's like, my husband started doing breath work seminars and like hosting his own. Hosting his own?
Starting point is 00:27:08 Yeah, like after, cause he did a whole like training and everything. And I was like, what is your husband doing? She's like, I was like a tradie. Like he's like a builder. Oh my God. And I'm like this, imagining this like 50 to 60 year old builder.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Trying to learn. Doing breath work seminars is like so incredible. Wow. Trying to like, grow with his life. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. And she was like, you know, he's just like being very emotionally closed off his whole life because he's a builder. Like, and I think that that world of being a tradie doesn't really, it's not conducive
Starting point is 00:27:36 to like, being emotionally vulnerable. And she's like, but watching him like through this, I think it's like, he's suddenly become this soft, sensitive person. That's nice. It's really like sweet. Anyway. That's cute. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Wow. New friends. Yeah, new friends we made along the way. And she's like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm a drag queen. I'm on a new TV show called Drag Race Down Under. And she's like, oh, I have to look out for that. Is that on Channel 9?
Starting point is 00:28:10 It's so weird as well when you're trying to explain from zero what you're doing and what it is. What does it matter? And so I'm just like, it's like a competition reality show where cross-dressers try different things. And then we have to do a celebrity impersonation round. And it's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:28:33 But this version of the show is like, well, it's kind of the most hated version of it. And so it's kind of like, we're hoping to try and really like reinvigorate the viewership of a bunch. It's like, uh-huh. And it's being judged by Michelle, who's the best friend of RuPaul, who's the drag queen who originally owns it. But they were friends in the 90s. Michelle was number eight on the bodyguard soundtrack,
Starting point is 00:28:55 but she was going to band. It's called seduction. But, you know, her and Ru were like huge. This is the literally identical conversation I had with my brother and his wife on Sunday night after watching the episode. Actually before, during and after. Because there were so many questions.
Starting point is 00:29:11 But the funniest takeaway was, um, Anna, my sister-in-law at the final moments of the episode where they're like, I can't remember the bottom girls, but like, Lucina or whatever, like, your look is shit. And you know, whatever the sassy comment is. And it was like, Why are they being so mean? Yeah, like, but they're at the bottom. Why are they being so mean when they're already doing so poorly? And like, Anna, because that's funny. That is our culture. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:45 She's like, but right at the end? To tell them that they're the worst? They say something mean? Exactly. Just to stick the knife in. Yeah. And then my mother being mesmerized by the most convincing drag queen she's ever seen. Michelle.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I'm like, can't even? Her hands, they're incredible. She looks at her voice. Tell me that that's a man in a dress. She's like, well, I mean, mum, she's kind of doing drag, but she was like born a woman. And she's like, oh, got it. Like, okay, thanks.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Even her hair. Yeah, the hands. Oh, anyway. Oh my god, hand drag. I could do hand drag. You could. You know how I always talk about my beautiful, feminine hands. I couldn't. That's why I wear gloves with every costume. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Okay, shall we dive into the show? Well, I'd love to every costume. Yeah. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. Shall we dive into the show? Well, I'd love to destroy the world first. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Are you destroying the world this week? I think it's my week. Yes, because that was the masseuses last week.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Oh, yeah. So new listeners, every week we decide how the world is going to end as we are two celestial goddesses. Of course. And we are creating a doomsday bunker filled with things, objects and ideas from humanity to save from an apocalypse. But what good is a vault of things being saved without said apocalypse? So Zelda, how does the world end this week?
Starting point is 00:31:16 Well, you've inspired me. So I'm just going to piggyback off your story. And do we know this woman's name on the airplane? Oh, Michelle. Her name was Michelle. Yeah oh my god Michelle. Yeah that's good. Michelle. So. Shaman. Yeah. Michelle gets off that flight and she's really taken it all in and she's she's come down with her she's down with the sickness you might say yeah but through some kind of like celestial magic she's now giant sized and she's she's had another yeah and she's had another she's had another cough and a
Starting point is 00:32:00 sneeze feeling your you know she's just trying to clear your chakras. Yeah. But, yeah. Infected chakra. But her colossal size has meant that she's blown everyone off the face of the planet. And that's it. Yeah. And now everyone's frozen, crystallized, and they've smashed into each other and shattered,
Starting point is 00:32:22 of course. Oh, I like that. And that's it. That's good. Yeah. That's good. She was just trying to cleanse your chakras. She, yeah, she got into it. And now everyone is ice dead in space. That's good.
Starting point is 00:32:32 She did the final chakra cleanse. Yeah. Of humanity. Yeah. We did, oh my God. I... So we had like team meeting at work recently. We just call it TM.
Starting point is 00:32:47 For the podcast. I wasn't there. We should have a team meeting. God, that'd be so funny. And we had to do this like breathing exercise as part of the, you know, like a training guy that was running the brand. I wish we brought in Michelle's husband. Terry.
Starting point is 00:33:06 But instead I kind of like co-did it with one of my co-workers. Wait, you were leading it? Yeah. Stop. I know, I know. A woman who has never breathed it out loud. But my friend was like talking everyone through it and I was like, I'll do like the action. Being, you know, extremely genuine, of course.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You mean the actions like on a like safety demonstration on a plane? Yes. Yes. But we had previously done in one of our manager like meet up things like bigger manager ones. like meet up things like bigger manager ones. Like we had this head from our company support center come out and do this like whole like breathing exercise with all the managers. And we were like, we should do that.
Starting point is 00:33:54 But with our team, because it was a bit more engaging than just like breathe in, breathe out or whatever. So I had to, I was like, you know what? I'll just, I'll find out exactly what he did and we'll do it. And so then I had to, I was like, you know what? I'll just, I'll find out exactly what he did and we'll do it. And so then I had to have this phone call with him where it was like, hey, do you remember like six months ago
Starting point is 00:34:12 you took us all through this thing? And he was like, oh yes, yes, I took you through it. And it was like bringing in, he was like, I'll tone down the, what did he call it? Like the, what's it? Why do I keep thinking woo? The woo woo? Woo woo, what's it, why do I keep thinking woo? The woo woo? Woo woo, yeah, he was like, I'll turn down that woo woo
Starting point is 00:34:29 of it all. Yeah. Okay. And he's like, get everyone to close their eyes and absorb and look up and absorb in all the light, all the light, take it in. Then bring it into your chest, bring it down into your belly and then push it down into
Starting point is 00:34:47 the earth through your feet. Oh good. And he's like, and this is really important, into the center of the earth. You're sending all that energy into the center of the earth. I think the center of the earth has enough, thank you. And then bring it back. Bring it back up. Lava. Through the earth, And then bring it back. Oh, bring it back over through the earth, through your legs, back into your chest. Well, that is intense. Whoa. Wait, to stay in your chest? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I saw it last day, but I bring it in there and then release it out. Let it radiate out of you. That's good. It's like, this is a lot to take 150 team members through, but all right. And, um, so you were closer. I was like doing the motions. They had their eyes closed. Well, no, they're always cheap.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Simple instructions. Sounds like you were failing it. But also you're like, now Kane's going to be showing everyone. Close your eyes. It was my best demonstration yet. And if you say I didn't do it, then you did it wrong. That's true. Anyway. That's part of the test. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm glad. We'll be right back. Anyway, welcome back, listener.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Hello, listener. I hope you have a nice icy beverage to enjoy while you listen to this incredible episode. Now, leading on from part of our initial opening chat, I did karaoke on the weekend, which leads us to our first topic of discussion today. Which karaoke song gets into the bunker? We have karaoke coming up at Reggie's, the bar in the bunker where women have the best night of their lives. Correct. Yeah. And they're gonna all sing the same song. Oh, you know. Yes. Yes. So as you know listeners, maybe, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Why would I assume you know something? Go back and do your homework. But as you might know, I hate karaoke. I think it's stupid. Cause I resent it. I resent the implication. Fun. No, no, it's a contrivance.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Because it's about paying money to do something that we should just do. So it's like people feel like they can't just burst into song and run around and sing with their friends whenever they get the opportunity. Life is a musical style. You learn nothing from What's More With Feeling. It will burn up. It doesn't a musical style. You learn nothing from Once More With Feeling. It will burn up. It doesn't work like that. You'll live up. That's why they have to have that containment room.
Starting point is 00:37:31 But then it's like the idea of like, okay everyone, we're having fun for one night a week, where we go to the room where we're allowed, we're allowing ourselves to take away the stigma of singing with friends, and we're putting it all in the shame closet where there's a lot of alcohols. You can really lubricate yourself. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:51 And I was like, I don't need, I don't want to pay. I don't want to pay to have fun with my friends and sing. I think we should just be driving along, singing our little hearts out, singing whatever song we want. Yeah. I don't like the implication, the controlled fun. Well, not everyone is extroverted as you. I know, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:38:11 It's like, it's freeing. You've done a lot of work breaking down your walls. It's great. I just think we need to do more to uplift people who are socially anxious, by forcing them to sing in public. In all situations. As also, as if there's not socially anxious people that resent the idea of karaoke. They're like, oh, you have to do a song.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Well, but see, the thing is the magic of karaoke is that like, I mean, it depends on your circle of friends, right? So like we went, it was like a work thing. Yeah. And some people, like I sing at work all the time, poorly to the music that I probably chose to play. So like, I don't care. You're in charge of the iPod.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Yeah, I'm the boss. But then like some other people do as well, but then like there's some few like shy team members or just like people that know that they Beckany sing It's probably not the time for a song all the time on the clock anyway But then like going into it. It's not like everyone has to do a song Yeah
Starting point is 00:39:19 It's just like we're gonna choose some songs and then like as they come up, if you feel like it's your song, then take the mic and sing. And like, as it goes on and everyone like kind of warms up, then like the magic of karaoke is that those shy people who didn't even need to pick a song, like get the mic and they have a great time because they feel comfortable. They learn to learn. Well, I want that for them. Yeah. I also just want to live in a society where they're not made to feel like they have to wait until they go to the shame closet. True.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Locked away. You just, yeah, well, you do advocate for that quite a lot by just bursting into song. It's something... Especially when I set up the microphones. As soon as there's a microphone in front of you, you're just like, oh la la. Yeah. You really let loose. It's one of my most, my boyfriend will tell you that like we'll be in the middle of like
Starting point is 00:40:15 a... You've got quite a good voice actually. You can't listen to it. Yeah, that's, but the... Do a little song right now. But my boyfriend would tell you that there'll be times where he's like, so what we need to do is that we need to make sure we've checked in for our flight and then that we've booked our thing. This is when we were traveling, obviously.
Starting point is 00:40:39 And then I'd be like, one singular sunset. Like just make out like a vocal, like something will set me off and he'll just be like, we're in the middle of a conversation. And I'm just like, I'm sorry. I was just, I just felt like I needed a song. I do like, there is a point where you realize that not everyone does that. No, but thankfully a, almost everyone I know does. You and I, we do it a lot.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Whenever we're driving, we're like, we're going to sing the whole set. We were setting up the other day for the Halloween gig. And like the divas were on the main stage, like learning their choreography and like, we're like, cunt, bitch, cunt. I'm going to slam my pussy into my can't. And then like, we were upstairs being like, let's listen to once more with feeling
Starting point is 00:41:32 the Buffy musical, and then we'll go into Rocky Horror Picture Show. And then we'll go from that into Nightmare Before Christmas. And then we'll do hairspray. And so we did all of that. We were there for like 10 hours. We know every word. And we're just belting them out. And so we did live all day there for like 10 hours. We know every word and we're just belting them out. And you know that fucking like Max and Isis on the stage are like, why is the horror show already started? Whatever. I think that's fun.
Starting point is 00:42:01 But yeah, however, I will engage with this topic because I do want to support the women going to Reggie's in the bunker. They need to have fun. Yeah, they're not shy though. A lot of them are the most rowdy. They've had enough drinks though. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Really let it out. Let loose. I said let loose. Oh my God, Lucy LaDuke had just followed me this morning. Oh really? And now I'm gonna have to just sing let loose all the time. Oh my God, Lucy LaDuke had just followed me this morning. Oh really? And now I'm going to have to just sing let loose all the time. Oh my God. Hopefully it finds its way to her.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yeah. Have you like, who else is following you now? Uh, well, my twin sister, Theresa May, which is incredible. Funny. Uh, the girls from tour. Yeah. Um, which we can talk about later. Um, who like, like it's been, I don't know, like I think Cheryl. Yeah. Which we can talk about later. Who?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Like, it's been, I don't know, like, I think Cheryl? Like, Miss Cheryl Hall? Oh, not Cheryl Cole. No. Same thing though. Oh, same, same. Yeah. I love that they both dropped their last names.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Right? I think that's so funny. Like, as a bit, because Cheryl Hall was like, I just got over like fucking right wingers thinking that that was being like evil by having like a slightly salacious last name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But to me it's like, honey, it's performance art. You started with like an homage to Cheryl Hall and then you just became Cheryl. It's like incredible. Because Cheryl is by and large not perhaps the most glamorous name. So to just be Cheryl.
Starting point is 00:43:27 But also Cheryl is now just Cheryl. Yeah, you're just Cheryl. It's like imagine if there's a drag queen just named Cher or Madonna. It's like, no, no, there's no pun. I just am that. I just like them. So I chose that name as well. Oh, that name as well.
Starting point is 00:43:46 That's very funny. I'm changing my name to Melissa Joan Hart. A drag queen name, Melissa Joan Hart. Yeah, that would be so good. On every geek poster she's on. Oh my god. Melissa Joan Hart is going to be there. And it's kind of in the realm of possibilities. Maybe Melissa Joan Hart would do a set at Circuit on her Friday.
Starting point is 00:44:04 What else is she doing? It's like, I guess Comic Con is this weekend? of like possibilities like maybe Melissa Dernhart would do a set at Circuit on our Friday. What else is she doing? It's like, I guess Comic Con is this weekend? Yeah, she's in town. Yeah. I'm not going to say that. And then you couldn't be mad if like the diva was great. Yeah. You'd be like, I saw Melissa Dernhart, not like, you know, like the one. And you could probably get the Instagram handle. Like I think you could kick her off. They're like, uh, anyway, um, uh, what the fuck were you talking about?
Starting point is 00:44:32 Oh, karaoke. Yeah. Anyway. Anywho. What's your go-to karaoke song? I know that you hate gang, gang, gang. Okay. To me, an ideal karaoke song, like in my vision of a karaoke song, is one that has emotion.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Like I think doing a good rendition of a song is kind of neither here or there, but like something that has performance, it gives the singer like an opportunity to sell a character or a fantasy or an idea. So my tops would have to be, oh my god, I Want You To Know by Alanis Morris. Because it's like, I'll never forget watching my sister. That is such, and it's a song that like, even if you're not a singer, still sounds fucking great, screamed at the top of your lungs. Because they're like, and now I'm here. Just getting angry. So definitely that.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Then I also like something that just goes for like really long. That's really funny. And I remember seeing my high school teachers when we were on school camp, we did karaoke while we're on camp. And one of them chose a song that at the time none of us had heard of, which was, oh my God, the meatloaf. When it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night. You can see Paradise by the dashboard light.
Starting point is 00:45:56 And it goes for eight minutes. And she did the whole, like my art teacher, Jo, was just up there and like singing to a crowd of like 14 year olds who did not know this song. And then like my international politics teacher like came up on stage and joined her and it was like these two like hippie art teachers being like, uh, it was something incredible. Like when something goes too long, I love that.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Like this podcast. Yes. Um, so those are my two kind of realms. Also like Teenage Dirtbag, which I think is like, or like Stacey's mom, those kind of like pop punky boy songs. Like anything Blink 182, 182. Those ones where it's like, cause like in Teenage Dirtbag, you get the bit where she's like, my name is Noel. And like watching, watching straight boys take on the femme character in that song is
Starting point is 00:46:57 so good. It's like first foray into drag. I bought two tickets to A& Maiden baby come with me Friday. Yeah and those are my three picks. Yeah. What about you? Well you're on the money with emotion. Yeah. Real emotion the song from Final Fantasy 2. X2. Because it's interesting because when you do a pop song, pop is repetitive in sound and structure and lyrics. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:34 And when it's the same lyrics over and over and over, it's really boring for karaoke. Yeah. So pop is usually like a genre that doesn't work very well. For example, on the weekend, we did play by Jennifer Lopez, but I knew halfway through the song, the whole second half of the song was just her saying, play the comedy to pay that song. No, it turns me on DJ to play the song.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Over like for a few minutes. Which is fine if you can dance like J-Lo. Yes, but best believe that's not what karaoke is about. Well, that's it. So we did the first half and then we skipped. That's good. How did you organize the skipping? Next.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Did you do that while people were up there? Yes. No, you didn't. Yes. And then there were points where you just strategically sat near the computer so you could just press next. They have a computer, like a laptop. It was a really good setup.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Okay. Yeah. It was, which is also important to a karaoke experience because there's two versions, right? There's like in a bar with open mind karaoke. Then there's like the private room version. Both have their place. Yeah. But yeah. So pop is tricky. I think like, if you know a song inside out, it's kind of like drag, you can sell it. Uh-huh. Um, but it's, it is like karaoke is more fun when like everyone's kind of singing along, whether you have the microphone or not. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Um, so yeah, like I love doing Riverdale Mountain High. Oh, that's a great one actually. I love that. Also specifically you doing it. It's so good. But I know the Celine version better and I like the Celine version more. It's very much the same but the tempo is a little bit different. But yeah, yeah, yeah. But it wasn't even on there. Whoa. Neither version was on. But. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it wasn't even on there. Whoa. Neither version was on there.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Whoa. Yeah. And then like Iris by Goo Goo Dolls wasn't on there. That's a great one too. That's a good one. That's emotion. Yes. But unconditionally is good. Unconditioned. But like it's a very hard song to sing so it's kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Yeah it does need to be. You just have to lean in to how impossible it is to sing if you're not a singer which I also think is funny. So I love doing that and I did do yeah that Linkin Park song which was fun but I love like because I don't know why but I have learned quite a few like different like pop rap songs in the years for drag and they are so good to bust out. Cause people will be genuinely shocked when you get it. And that's where my Linkin Park moment was at Triumph.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I thought people from working on a list of this would be like, it was the most boring thing. Triumph is such an interesting collection. It was the most boring thing I ever had. Triumph is such an interesting collection. It was great. It is. But I like had been practicing my fucking Roman holiday and WAP and had them perfect and then neither of them were on the karaoke box. How is that possible? Take your medication, Roman.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Like I'm just like, if I could see one advantage to going to karaoke, that they have the stems for everything. Yeah. Why wouldn't WAP be on it? WAP. And there was plenty of that we did. WAP. We did so much like Cardi and heaps of Megan was on there,
Starting point is 00:50:59 but not WAP. Crazy. And then like, but also like there's some great like Gwen or like No Doubt songs that like and speak It's like such a good one. Yeah, cuz that's the emotion and it's the right speed so everyone can kind of get on board Yes into that drone a song where like you skip a word or stuff stuff up a word and then you three lines behind Yeah, that's hard. Yeah, so there's got to be like a lower tempo, but we finished the night on Bohemian rap. Okay. Well, that's it. That was so good. That is it was just incredible. Like everyone
Starting point is 00:51:31 belting it out. Yeah. It's like four different songs in one. Yeah. That's it. It's got variety. Yeah. It's got parts. People can see the back. Uh, it's very gay. Yeah. But also very straight. Yeah. It's a mix. Yeah. Um, that That was such a staple when I was in high school, like at parties, it would play nonstop. Lots of rowdy young boys being like, doing the full thing. Really, I don't think I had that. Yeah, it was that and pink. Get this party started?
Starting point is 00:52:03 No, who knew? Jesus. that in pink get this party started no who knew anyway Matt any karaoke go to um well I do like can't get you out of my head I just that's another repetitive one though you got to be careful with that yeah I guess everybody just knows the la la la part so true so you can get them on board with that. Yeah, and my band does a cover of that So you guys do it great seeing that a lot at weddings and stuff Another really good sort of karaoke one that I like is some you're still the one by Shania Twain It's like really satisfying to sing the chorus for some reason It's like really satisfying to sing the chorus for some reason.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Oh my God. It like feels good in your chest. Yeah. I think those are the best ones for me is like, So glad we made it. Look out for... It kind of feels nostalgic to like 2000s pop. That whole Shania album that was like, mom listens to you in a bath music. Like that's something you used to sell it like, this mother's day, buy your mom something
Starting point is 00:53:09 she'll love. And it's like, Rose petals by a bath. And then the Shania album, I just like, that is all women wanted in the 90s. But fuck yes, like cause it's got, man, I feel like a woman. I mean, that one's a good one as well for like, do you want to let your hair down a little bit? Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Anything by the Supremes is good. Yeah, classic songs that everybody knows the words to, obviously a good like, I quite, I always have, it's a real cheesy classic corny one, but I always like country roots as well. Oh, take me home. That's also a song that sounds good, like pretty by and large with any voice. And I think like it feels really good when everybody sings it together as well. Yeah. So I quite like those ones. Mount Mama.
Starting point is 00:54:00 You know what the other song I really like is the Cyndi Lauper version of Drove All Night, where she's like, I had to escape, the city was sticky and cruel. I love a Journey song like that, with like a giant belt that no one's going to be able to do. And Time After Time is another good one, but a bit repetitive. When I was a child at the primary school fate, I won karaoke and I won a blue Trigger Brothers jumper. And it was to... Your first drag competition win. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I didn't realize you were a pageant queen. And it was to that song, because it was in Strictly Ballroom. Oh my God. And like that was my shit as a small gay child. And yeah, I belted it out and I won the karaoke comp. Do you know at the moment where in the midst of trying to figure out, like we're doing budget stuff for the film and in the film, I have a track, which I'm not going to say now because I want it to be a surprise, but it's an Australian legendary like pop track.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And like my producer had gone to like a music clearance person. I mean, like, how much would this cost for like, I don't know, 30 seconds of this song in the film? Kind of, you know, just get out of my way. Don't tell me. Oh, sorry. And know, 30 seconds of this song in the film. Kind of made me notice, get out of my way. Don't tell it, Nick. I'm sorry. And wait, what did she say? It was like, oh, where's this money?
Starting point is 00:55:32 Madison Avenue, who the hell are you? Oh my God, I swear to God it could be. Where is it? Why is she, oh my God, I'm so sorry, everyone. Where's that prize? I think it was like $20,000. Oh, Jesus. My God.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Yeah. But like I was like kind of shocked. Like I was like, oh, that's kind of reasonable. Does that mean like you pay that? You pay that. And then that's 30 seconds of it in the movie. Yeah. But when you release the soundtrack. Which you, yeah, no. no, that's a whole nother thing.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you were ever going to make money off of it on its own, which you wouldn't, I don't think you would ever release the soundtrack for like a low budget. Yeah. But like, I think it, like you pay that and then you are covered for like any distribution, but then it would have to be renegotiated if it went on to like pay that and then you are covered for like any distribution.
Starting point is 00:56:25 But then it would have to be renegotiated if it went on to like streaming, but like if it's in cinemas over in America, God willing, that would be part of it. Yeah. Okay. But I specifically written another needle drop and like had a famous song from the 50s in there. And then was like, actually, let's just write this issue out of this very low budget film. And we will write in some 1920s, like an Irving Berlin song and get it re-recorded. Because everything- It's out of copyright.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Out of copyright. And the music licensing lawyer was like, and it's this song always, which is incredible, was like, no, people actually get really tripped up on this one. But the Irving Berlin stuff is not out of copyright. There are people that have swooped in at the last minute, re-upped the copyright, and it will end up costing you more than this contemporary pop hit. Disney all over again. I'm like, what the fuck? How is that even possible? Like, it's just like, at this point, if it's been, like, I mean, Disney has a lot to fucking answer for.
Starting point is 00:57:35 But like, it can't be 104 years for something to enter the public domain. Like, that's, it was 70. Like, that's crazy. Yeah. Well, in 104 years, where was 70. Like that's crazy. Well, in 104 years where someone's out there dressed in yellow, calling themselves Lazy Susan. Darling, darling. How about right now?
Starting point is 00:57:56 True. Oh, that has been the best part of the Drag Race stuff coming out is all the other Lazy Susans. And listener, can I tell you, you know how we had the Lazy Susan episode where we decided on who the best Lazy Susan was? Yeah. Lazy Susan.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Was that mom from Tennessee? She was from Massachusetts, please. Sure, whatever. I contacted her to send us some merchandise and she said, congrats for being on the show. And that gave me her address. Oh my God. I said, I'm going to go and kill her in the night. I was going to message her.
Starting point is 00:58:24 I love her so much. She's so cute. So I'm going to send her a merch pack and also our incredible Lazy Susan in Brighton. The other drag queen Lazy Susan has been such a mensch about the whole thing because she, I think was getting some, copying some flack from like some of her local girl. He's been like, so your name's been taken by someone who's been on the show.
Starting point is 00:58:47 And she was like, who fucking gives a shit? Um, and then yeah, we kind of got in contact and I was like, yeah, like honestly, there can be two girls with the same name, it actually doesn't matter. Yeah. Um, and so yeah, we've, I'm going to send her some much as well. Still waiting to hear back from his plane. Jane's makeover challenge, but if she would like to get in contact, I'm going to send her some much as well. Still waiting to hear back from his plane. Jane's makeover challenge. But if she would like to get a contact, I'm going to send it as much.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Um, but yeah, we're going to get all these lazy Susans together at some point for a convention, maybe some karaoke, maybe, and we can sing the lazy Susan song by the spinners. Oh, and in Melbourne called theazy Susan. Yes, they is. They're ruining my life. Yeah. They're part of the, they're part of the Ministry of Lazy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Um, I'd love to send Lazy Susan. Can we put my magnet in there as well? Yes, you will have to. I love her. Yeah. And she's a cool mom, so she should be. Yeah. Her kids seem like such like nice guys.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Yeah. Like they'd be, they're one or. Yeah, her kids seem like such like nice guys. Yeah. Like they'd be, they're one or two years off from singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Absolutely. Like keger. Yeah, drinking their Paps Blue Ribbon on ice. What? Okay, well, that's it. You know, you know.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Okay, so listen, I think, what do we need for the, like, what do we think? Like when the world ends, what has the most replay value? What best represents karaoke as a form? Dancing Queen. Oh, ABBA. We didn't even talk about ABBA. Dancing Queen is one of my favorite songs to sing. You can never... It's so depressing. Maybe if not, but just the Muriel's
Starting point is 01:00:29 wedding of it all. Like every ABBA song just feels laced with depression. Yeah true. But it's like, but that's kind of like what Reggie's is all about. Absolutely. Yeah, that's the thing. I want something for the girls. The girls. Yeah. Abba or Shania, I think are like top tier for me. Yeah. Or the River Deep Mountain High. Bohemian Rhapsody just doesn't really suit the vibe of Reggie's I think. Yeah, like they would love it, but not like I think it would. It's more for the guys. The witch doesn't?
Starting point is 01:00:57 It's more for a group of guys. Ah, Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh yeah. Like if we're thinking about the women at Reggie's. They'd be like, oh I love Freddie. Yeah, they would. Oh, Freddie. Like, if we're thinking about the women at Reggie's. They'd be like, oh, I love Freddie. Yeah, they would. Oh, Freddie's a poof. They would like it, but I think it's not like summing up their night, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:01:11 No, it's got to be something that empowers them, like being a dancing queen or do I love you my oh my, Riverdeep Mountain High. I think Riverdeep Mountain High is slightly less known. I don't think that that can be a factor. Like we're Sosio Goddesses, we're curators, we're taste makers. Well, they'll know it by the end. That's it. And it's long enough that you can like listen to it.
Starting point is 01:01:35 When I was a little girl, I had a ragdoll. And it gets stronger. And everywhere. So good. Okay, maybe that. I mean. Or something ABBA. I wonder.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Yeah, to be truly like all genders. If you're listening from outside of Australia you have to know like ABBA is like like such a cultural institution here that it's like yeah you don't understand like every Australian born has it like affixed to their DNA yes that it feels like they're an Australian band yes like ABBA we had like a touring like a touring tribute show called BABBA that like they worked every day for the last 35 years, like going to every pub in RSL because it's just that much hunger for ABBA.
Starting point is 01:02:38 It's not even ABBA. But their entire careers is this. Is the BABBA experience. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, so Babba such a word. So grim.
Starting point is 01:02:54 But I mean, pink is in the same category. Correct. Yeah. I was explaining to the Americans how much Australians love pink. Cause someone was going to do fun house. And I was like, you don't understand. They'll love that. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Did they do it? No. I was like, you, you just missed out. Cause they thought every time I'd say something that was like quintessentially Australian, like this thing is really important to us. They think I was lying to try and get them in trouble or something. And so I'm like in Perth on stage, I was like, oh, sorry, yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:27 we just haven't gotten much seasoning here yet. Like we're Australian, so we really have like, I don't know, chicken salt. The crowd lost their mind. They were like, I was like, do you guys like, you know, like, and Q was like, what's chicken salt? And I was like, come on Perth, what's chicken salt? And everyone was like, bAAAAAAA! Like it was
Starting point is 01:03:46 like Beyonce had stepped out onto the stage, like everyone was like, chicken salt, chicken salt. And it was like, and like she truly thought I was joking. And like, I was, and she's like, what, what is that? And they were like, chicken salt! This is our culture. Chicken salt's going on tour. She's going to have a great career. This drag queen? Chicken salt? Chicken salt and syrup.
Starting point is 01:04:13 And Melissa Dernhardt are collabing. Deadlining. Yeah. Okay. Maybe, I like Dancing Queen. Okay. Dancing Queen. Okay. Dancing Queen. I think it's the perfect sort of-
Starting point is 01:04:27 Thursday night and the lights are low. Thursday night? Yeah. Yeah. It's always Thursday in the bunker. Oh, right. You missed out the little reflective girl. Reggie's.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Yeah. We're going to have lots of ad-libs. You can learn. Wait till we get to which dance gets the bunker. Jesus. Okay. Okay. Dancing Queen by ABBA. You are now in Reggie's on karaoke night.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Let's move on. Should I go? Okay. Welcome back all. Okay. Welcome back all. Hello listener. Now it is time. Oh, at time of-
Starting point is 01:05:14 Remember to have a sip of your beverage. You're looking dehydrated, listener. At time of recording, we are hours away from the beginning of the day of voting in America. The 2024 presidential election is underway. Correct. Because it's tomorrow or whatever. I don't know. Who cares?
Starting point is 01:05:39 So today we'll be discussing which presidential slogan goes into the bunker. Yes, listen, I know you might be familiar with the words of Donald Trump, let's make America great again. But every president has had a slogan that they've used to try and get them into the White House or get them back into the White House as it were. And so we thought as our small contribution to a discussion around American democracy. Let's make fun of them all.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Decide which one of these incredible slogans from 175 years of presidential slogans will get into the bunker. But I mean, just quickly, I'd like to say, Jesus fucking Christ. Oh my God. What the fuck? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Um, I, uh, I just am a gog every time they are like, it's gonna be a tight one. It's insane. How? What? How? More does this man have to do? Cause like to, to not be tight. What more does this man have to do to show you that he's a fascist who wants to destroy
Starting point is 01:06:52 the fucking country? Like he could say anything and it would still be like, well, it's going to be tight because you know what she did? She's a, she's a woman. Yeah. Oh, it's so cooked. You saw I don't think we've talked about on the podcast. I think it happened after we last recorded the
Starting point is 01:07:13 the like comedian moment at was it in? Oh, at the Trump rally, that piece of shit. Who called Puerto Rico a giant floating pile of trash. Floating pile of trash. And then like, there were others there and like, Hulk Hogan was there and it was just crazy. I just, it's like, to be so clear, that man is a rapist.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Donald Trump is a fucking rapist, allegedly. Oh no, a proven rapist. They proved it in fucking court. He tried to undermine American democracy. He has been found lying about every single thing throughout his entire run, throughout his entire career. He's gone bankrupt several times. You don't need to look far to find a reason to not trust this man.
Starting point is 01:08:03 It's obscene that he could still be even considered a viable option. Like obscene that people would still go. And it's like, I think that there is so much to be concerned about, about Kamala and about Biden. think that like the genuine ball dropping of like everything that has happened in the war, like on the attacks on Palestine, the attempt to genocide. Oh, absolutely. It's like, it is crazy that we're living through a time where that is just being pretended
Starting point is 01:08:40 as if it's like, no, that's fine. It's completely normal. It's a two way attack. And it's like, no, that's fine. It's completely normal. It's a two way, two way attack. And it's like, no. So it's like, absolutely could not agree more. The people need to be held to account for these war crimes and crimes against humanity. And that can happen as soon as we get the fascist out of the way, because it is so terrifying.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Everything that comes out of his mouth is something we should be afraid of. He wants to lock up journalists. Like, what are you talking about? He's already said that he wants to get rid of anyone who opposed him politically. That's not how democracy works. Yeah. It's crazy. It's terrifying.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Yeah. And now let's figure out what, who said the funniest thing? Yeah. I'd like to start from the start. 1840. Still relevant. Tippecanoe and Tyler Too. What do you think that means? I don't know what that means. If you're American, write it.
Starting point is 01:09:36 1848, Zachary Taylor, Whig, for President of the People. That's nice. That's clean. I understand that one. A stated intention. For president of the people. That's nice. That's clean. I understand. A stated intention. Yeah. In 1852, for Franklin Pierce, he was a Democrat, we poked you. Poked? Poked?
Starting point is 01:09:57 Poke, because James K. Poke was 1844. We poked you in 44. We shall pierce you in 52. Why are you threatening the American people? We poked you in 44. We shall pierce you in 52. Why are you threatening the American people? Abraham Lincoln might've heard of him. Vote yourself a farm. And then 1864, he came back with this zinger.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Don't swap horses in midstream. I don't know. He was busy dismantling slavery. Yeah. Horses, you know. Then in 1868, Ulysses Grant, let us have peace. Yeah, what a piece of shit. And then when was the Civil War? Was that? Yeah, he was a Civil War general from the South. Ulysses S. Grant. He was a real...
Starting point is 01:10:50 He's one that there are still statues of around, that people are like, you know he was a Confederate soldier, right? And then maybe we shouldn't be celebrating him. And then he went for it again in 1872 with grant us another term. Get it. I love using their own name, don't they? Well, that does come up more as we go on. Like it seems like more advertised, like after advertising agencies were invented,
Starting point is 01:11:20 this shit goes into hyper speed. So then William McKinley, patriotism, protection and prosperity. I mean, that's... But he came back in 1900 with, let well enough alone for his reelection. The reelection ones are my favorite because they're like, we need to change everything. And then like four years later, they're like, we come on guys. Yeah, let's do some more. Let's just okay.
Starting point is 01:11:48 It ain't broke, don't fix it. Yeah. Oh my God, I wish that was one. 1916. Wait, was William in for 16 years? Oh, William McKinley. What was happening? Was that the World War I?
Starting point is 01:12:03 No. Not yet. Who knows? Anyway, Woodrow Wilson, he kept us out of war. Right, because that's 1914. Gotcha. Okay, I like these now we're getting into some name ones. Calvin Coolidge, 1924. Keep cool and keep cool-age. Calvin Coolidge, 1924, keep cool and keep cool-idge. Oh, and then the next one in 1928, Herbert Hoover, who bit Hoover.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Well, who else could you pick but Hoover? Oh, who but? Oh, right. Who bit Hoover. Who bit Hoover? And then in 1936, he came back, didn't he? Zelda, what was Herbert Hoover's next slogan when he was going for president again? In 1936. In 1936?
Starting point is 01:12:54 Why, the slogan was, remember Hoover? That's so good. That's so funny. And then this is kind of 1940s version of like diss track, Slay Diva Mama. Oh yeah. Because Franklin Delano Roosevelt was going for a third term, which you can't do anymore. Better a third term than a third rater. Get him.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Get him Franklin. Oh my God, he got a fourth term? Jesus. And then, yeah, in 1944, Franklin's was, we are going to win this war and the peace that follows. I mean, things were just a lot more on, you know, down the line. Except we get to 1948 and Harry S. Truman says, I'm just wild about Harry.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Which I assume you just had to be like a Flapper girl standing in like a Ticketate parade. And like that's who would be allowed to say, because I don't think you could have your like, you couldn't be up there as Harry Truman being like, I'm just wild about Harry. Also all of these, I'm just imagining on red caps with white embroidery at the front and it just says, I'm just wild about Harry. 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower, I like Ike. And then in 1956, they remarked, I still like Ike. Remember Hoover?
Starting point is 01:14:36 1960s JFK, A Time for Greatness. Wow. I mean, that one's... That sounds like it's a ride at the new Universal Studios theme park. Like, time for greatness. But he got it. But not for long. Wow. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Too soon. Have to wait 104 years. Okay. 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson, all the way with LBJ. Which is weird when you think in the 60s, people were still saying like, hey, Johnny Rocket, you want to go all the way tonight? Like was he talking about he wanted to fuck America?
Starting point is 01:15:17 Yeah, and then have a malt. Yeah, have a malt down at the malt shop. Yeah. In 1968, Nixon, this time, vote like your whole world, the whole world depended on it. And then he came back and said, my favorite, my favorite, President Nixon, now more than ever. I was just like, what do you mean? That was good. Now, I just want to say that after every like, Zeldemoon now more than ever. She sure is. It's so funny.
Starting point is 01:15:53 It does remind me of the title that I'll call my memoir, which is Zeldemoon and Those Who Wronged Me. That would be such a good run for president. Yeah. Okay. Where are we up to? Where are we up to? Jimmy Carter, a leader for a change.
Starting point is 01:16:14 So, that's actually everything on that one. That's so good. A leader for a change. And then Ronald Reagan comes along the absolute fucking festering piece of shit and says, are you better off than you were four years ago? To which I don't know that you could run that now because everyone would be like, no. I have depression anxiety and then he came back in 1984. It's morning again in America.
Starting point is 01:16:52 What the fuck are you talking about? What do you mean, sir? And then 1988, great. George Bush. Kinda. Yeah. Kinda. Gentler nation. 1888 great year George Bush kind of yeah, yeah kinder gentler nation That sounds like North Korean propaganda whooshes
Starting point is 01:17:21 Slogan and then in 1992 Bill Clinton came for with for people for a change We'll see. He's just repeating all you're just actually stealing. Yeah, Jimmy Carter, you don't have a lot to say about that, maybe. But then he came back with, building a bridge to the 21st century! Which makes him sound insane. I have an idea that will see us fly through time and space. A bridge! Oh, then George W. Bush.
Starting point is 01:17:43 That's my You never watch that's my bush Oh my god, it was just like comedy parody show of the bushes Oh, but it was I'm pretty sure it was like the South Park guys It's called that's my Bush. Oh God. Okay. Um, anyway, Bush, George W Bush, our reformer with results. God, that's so depressing.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And then, ah, again, copying old material, building a safer world and a more hopeful America. At which point I'm like, pick, pick one. Yeah. Is it a safer world or is it more hopeful? At which point I'm like, pick one. Yeah. Is it a safer world or is it more hopeful? Yeah. You can't have both. Two things in one.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Like, there should be an and. I didn't realize Barack Obama's was so long, because I always thought it was just change. He ran on change. Yes. But instead it's- Fair change. Change we can believe in.
Starting point is 01:18:43 But then in 2012, he comes out with this banger. Forward. Forward! Do you know how many millions of dollars would have been sunk into the advertising agency that came up with forward? Forward. Not backward. Upward, not downward.
Starting point is 01:19:01 And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom. And now we're into the 2016 campaign slogans. Hillary Clinton, of course, I'm with her. Or we have an alt, stronger together. And then finally, Donald Trump make America great again. Magga. Magga, which is pretty effective. Have you seen those videos of like people interviewing like Republicans asking when
Starting point is 01:19:39 was America great? I mean, I think. And they're like, oh, you know, I think my favorite time was when we signed the Declaration of Independence and they're like oh so when slavery was at its highest and they're like well apart from that. I think that's it yeah like because he and like that he means it though he means it in like the way of like, we're going to go back to how things were. But when was that? Well, when no one really knows.
Starting point is 01:20:09 No, but he was like, he means it in the racist way. He's like, let's go back. Okay. So Joe, Joe Biden's 2020 was build back better. Build back better. Alliteration. Apparently he also had no malarkey. Really?
Starting point is 01:20:27 Yes, to convince the Australian, I mean the American people that he was not old. No more malarkey from you kids. And then Donald's second one was keep America great. Oh my God. Although apparently at one point he used, make America great again. Again. Oh, that's really good. It should have been make America great agains.
Starting point is 01:20:54 This is his favorite movie. Aliens. Two. Yeah. Make American too great. Too great. Too great. All that. Make American too great. Too great. Too great to America. And then 2024, we had Joe Biden say, let's finish the job. Let's finish the job.
Starting point is 01:21:12 God. And then- That sounds dark. Yeah. It's like, let's just kill him for real. Finally. Well, it makes it a bit darker after the assassination attempt. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 01:21:24 But then, Together We Can Win This was Kamala. When We Fight We Win, once again. We're Not Going Back, which was like the kind of organic one that came up for Kamala. Freedom, because she had that Beyonce clearance on doing the Freedom song. And then Let's Win This! Let's win this. Oh, that's good. Wow. And then, yeah, Donald Trump has kind of stayed on...
Starting point is 01:21:51 MAGA. MAGA, which is like... Yeah. And when he had Elon on stage the other day and Elon was saying that he was goth MAGA. Ugh. Goth MAGA? What does that mean? He was wearing like black. An all black version cap.
Starting point is 01:22:06 It's like, oh, I'm a goth mega. Right. I thought that was like a Gothic era. Like he wanted to go back to the Gothic era. Yeah. That's when America was great. Yeah. So what is the campaign slogan that we're taking down?
Starting point is 01:22:20 My favorite ones are the name ones. Yeah. Like playing the name. I saw one for a local council election the other day and it was Mark, someone or Mark Woods or whatever. Yeah. And his slogan was, make your mark. Oh, that's good. Make your mark.
Starting point is 01:22:38 Yours would be, I'm not a fucking doormat. Or for sheer genius. Lay out the welcome map. Yeah, that's good. What about your one? Lazy? Lazy, I'm lazy. I'm lazy.
Starting point is 01:22:57 But not in a bad way. Does that not work? No. Susan ain't losing. Zelda? You'll be over the moon about Zelda moon. I'm making a laser to destroy the moon. Every night it blocks our view. What if there's a giant woman out there coming towards us?
Starting point is 01:23:27 I will be the first Melbourne local council member to destroy the moon. I want all of that on that cap. That would be funny merch anyway. Um, what about Kevin07? That's, that's, that's got make a mark? He got so lucky. He could only do it like on 27. He can be back. He'll be part machine by then.
Starting point is 01:24:00 I like Ike again. Wait, I still like Ike. America great again again is very funny. America Great Again Again is very funny. I mean, that is very funny. What was the super shady one? A politician. Oh yeah, that was Jimmy. A leader. For a change.
Starting point is 01:24:17 For a change. That is so funny. I think that's pretty funny. I do really like that. I mean, my favorite, I think, is Hubert Hoover. Hubert Hoover. Hubert Hoover. And then remember Hoover?
Starting point is 01:24:32 Remember Hoover? I wonder, so we're going to have to have like a local council election in the bunker to justify bringing these slogans down there. Can I tell you, so when I was in year nine, we did SOS as you do. What does SOS stand for? Society. Matt, you're in school or something.
Starting point is 01:24:54 What? What does SOS stand for? Social, social. You know the class SOS, Matt. I've never done that. Well, yeah, you went to a science done that well, yeah, we didn't Well anyway in so we learned about I don't know elections Yeah, and we had to do like a year nine like fake election where everyone that had to like vote and there were different parties and
Starting point is 01:25:19 Like you had to have your candidate and all that stuff and then like you had to do like propaganda for a week like you had to have your candidate and all that stuff. And then like you had to do like propaganda for a week. Yeah. And then the whole year level voted in this fake election and then someone won. And that was that. And I went to a Catholic high school and me and my friend Tegan just paired up
Starting point is 01:25:38 just the two of us and now entire slogans were us superimposed onto me onto Jesus and her onto Mary. And I can't remember the slogans that we put up, but we like did all this photoshopping, had our faces on these like religious icons, had these posters up all over school. And then we got in so much trouble and they all got taken down and we were eliminated from the election. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:11 You're like, it's not a separation of church and state. They said, by the way, I think they were like, are you making fun? Like of Jesus and Mary. Yeah, it didn't land. That's stupid. I fuck it. The sort of corny ass bullshit that happens inside of Australia's private schools is so like lame.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Like, what do you mean girls? You don't like Jesus? You're like, I think we've got bigger fish to fry here than them not liking Jesus. Yeah. Um, yeah, I think in the bunker, I really see a lot of potential from, um, Courtney, who works a lot of, um, jobs, not to run a campaign to become leader, but she would be like the working class, like union action person that comes up and speaks and gives her support to one of the candidates. She's like, the Courtney's of this world have been spoken over too many times and I will win this election for blah,
Starting point is 01:27:08 blah, blah. Like she'll be really radicalized. And she'll take like a one person Tiki torch parade through the Abyss square. And baby's that will be yelling at her to get up back on break. And she's like, I'm taking an extra five minutes. And what her slogan is?
Starting point is 01:27:25 Um, don't get caught knee act. No, it's Huber Courtney. And in four years time, remember Courtney? Everyone's like, no, we have a population of 80 and the answer is still no. Oh, but you could have like a Michael B Jordan be like Michael B winning. Michael B running. True! On the first talk take we established that lukewarm joke.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Yes. Listen, I'm going to heat it up again and again. Yeah. Like a delicious snack. Okay. I think Hoover is my favorite, just because Hoover is also very funny to say. Hoover is funny. Hoover Hoover.
Starting point is 01:28:08 Hoover Hoover. And then the other candidate can run on, make America great again, again. Oh, I like that. Yeah. Yeah. They have to fight each other like Gwyneth versus whoever the Republican we have in the bunker is. Do we have any conservatives in the bunker yet?
Starting point is 01:28:23 I don't know. Probably need to get one. Anyway, someone conservative can be the, let's make bunker great again, again. Yeah. Yeah. Again, again. Yeah. You think those celestial goddesses care about you? Look simply to the room that rains bugs on you
Starting point is 01:28:38 and ask whether celestial goddesses care about you. Sorry, this is all deep cut, bunk it. When you cried tears of calm, say to yourself, who but Hoover? Okay. Okay. Let's take a break. That's good. Miss Hoover, I'd like to get down now. Hello and Sulangor to you listener.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Won't you join us please for this final topic of discussion today. It is which scream queen from lazy Susan's recent tour goes into the bunker? Yes. Now, Lacey's out of the running. Oh, OK. On the bunker form. So I do have to start this by saying, God damn, like I was really waiting for there to be like an absolute festering piece of shit on this tour. And they were all really nice.
Starting point is 01:29:47 Um, well, it's going to be a boring section. Everyone. No, no, cause I do have an answer. Cause I think so, like morphine incredible vibes. Give us a quick rundown. Yeah. So we've got lazy Susan. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Katya Zamalochikova. Morphine Dion Fierce. Love Dion. I don't knowkova. Yeah. Morphine Dion Fierce. Love Dion. I don't know. Q. Q. Q, Angieria. Angieria.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Paris van Michaels. Anitra? Anitra, no. She was not on the tour. Mirage. Mirage. Anitra was the one that couldn't be there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:22 So that's why Q was stepped into the breach. Which actually I found out from Q when she went on drag race, she had less time than all the other girls as well. Cause someone had dropped out. Oh, I don't know if I'm allowed to say it anyway. Hey, you know, but it keeps happening to this poor bitch. I think cause yeah, but, um, yeah, immediately like everyone was just incredibly lovely, very like, come on girl, let's have a drink,
Starting point is 01:30:45 let's chill out. Morphine is the party girl, fabulous vibes. Always her powers were incredibly intensified anytime she had a wig with a Conti bang on. She was like, we're heading out for the night and she'd still be in full geesh. I'd be like, Morphine, are you getting out of drinks? Like, no, no, I need to stay, you know, because I, once I take it off, it's a process. So like, let's just stay. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:31:14 I'm Marina Summers. Oh my God. I forgot. Because I think Marina is the absolute MVP and I don't, we'll get to her, but. Um, but I was going to say, did Morphine have a beat out of drag? Not like in the morning, but she was always very like, every, yeah, like, like at the, at the airport in the morning, she'd have a giant glasses and just be like, like had that absolute air of like Queen.
Starting point is 01:31:39 Love it. Which was fabulous. Q was like, from the first day, she was like, we're almost there, we're almost done. She was just like, but she was so lovely and just like super balanced. She was also like, her dynamics with Morphing were really funny because they were just like actually, just nipping each other all the time, but in a very loving way. Um, and me and Q did all our meet and greets together. So like she and I probably had more time to chit chat. Um, and she got sick of me.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Like we'd be introducing to the person and be like, Oh, what's your name? And they'd be like, Oh, I'm Alexis. And I'd be like, let's make a little Alexis sandwich. And the next person would come and they're like, I'm Joe. And'd be like, let's make a little Alexis sandwich. The next person would come and they're like, I'm Joe. And I'm like, let's take a little Joe sandwich. Oh, you're such a demon. Listen up. For the backstory here, when we did the NJV Gala
Starting point is 01:32:37 as the Beastie Girls, there was a moment. With famous Australian actress, Rachel Griffiths. Where she was kindly requesting a photo with the divas. And she was like, come over here. Come over here. Make a Rachel sandwich. Let's make a little Rachel sandwich. We're like, okay, Rachel Griffith.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Yeah, put your mouth in my face. That was so funny. That's so funny. And I think about it all the time. I said it like maybe 300 times over the last four days. Harry, let's make a little Harry sandwich. And Q would be looking at me like, what the fuck is wrong with you? You're like, this is a moment I'll remember forever. We're making a sandwich with them in the middle.
Starting point is 01:33:20 They're the flavor. We're just the bread. Yeah. That're the flavor. We're just the bread. Yeah. That's so funny. And then Mirage is so flawless and very like just like a sweetie pie. But then occasionally she'll just make like, she'll look at you dead-eyed and say like, I hope you fucking die. But like, it would just be like, she has that humor that like immediately cuts into like, she's just serious. And she's like, anyway, I'm totally joking. Anyway, bye.
Starting point is 01:33:58 And then, oh, and Jiria is like everything that you hope that she will be. Like, I think if someone was going to take over the show at this moment, no one loves that show more than Angieria. Yeah, okay. Maybe Cynthia Lee Fontaine. But like, Angieria has watched every episode of every franchise of the show. She knows, she remembers, and she loves the show. She just like, and she was so kind to me. She was like, I've watched all your promo and like, she was just very
Starting point is 01:34:31 and super sweet. Like there was not a second of like, you know, cause she's like just one All Stars Nine. She's like one of the most like famous recognizable faces in the franchise and she was truly like bringing the like leadership kind of moment. Like you know, like it would be, you know, four in the morning at the fucking airport and she was like absolutely pepped and like giving people energy and giving people their vibes and that sort of thing. And lovely. Actually though, the one thing I will say going back to Mirage, they lost all of Mirage's
Starting point is 01:35:08 luggage. Her makeup, her wig, her tour outfits, she had nothing. That bitch did not bat an eye. It did not make it anyone else's problem. She truly was so calm and graceful in a situation that could have been like a blow up meltdown. And I think if it had happened to any one of us, other girls, it would have been. But she's like, okay, we'll sort it out.
Starting point is 01:35:32 And like she did like look a little bit stressed later on, but like they took her to the house of Priscilla, got a new outfit. Like she got her makeup. It was not an issue. And I was like, that is like, she is Clearly a Vegas girl cuz she just like knows how to work and she does not like she's unflappable It's like that dancer commitment where she's like you could put me out there in a tube sock and I'll still put out a shot So I don't know what we're worried about. It was so classy. I was like that's very impressive, but Obviously Katya was very sick and that's the thing. Like the thing I want to say is her assistant, Miss Fina Barbatole, is so good.
Starting point is 01:36:15 So she's my one, like one of the ones in the running for the top spot. Yes. As a scream queen. Well, that's what I was hoping. Because she, she's such a cunt. This rotted, evil piece of shit. She immediately will come up to you and say the most wretched thing ever you've heard in your life,
Starting point is 01:36:34 right into your ear, just under room volume so no one else hears it. And it's so good. And she's so funny. It's just incredible. So, like so, so good. And it's really funny cause obviously her and Katya have been friends for 20 years or whatever, cause they have the exact same cadence. Like everything, like you hear them talking like, Oh, you two are like in sync. Uh, but yeah, it evil.
Starting point is 01:37:02 I couldn't even, yeah, anything that she says to you in your ear, like, I can never say this to another living soul. You're so evil. And then Marina Somers is like, goddamn. As far as like, she always was just like, she had like a space that she would set up a space for Marina. And like her and her assistant Ace, who's also incredible, would just have like, everything was like clockwork.
Starting point is 01:37:29 It was like perfected. You wouldn't like, she would just be quietly getting everything ready. And so it was like, she had the professionalism. She wouldn't, she doesn't drink, she doesn't do anything. So it's like her hair is getting straight and she's just sitting. She's like, maybe like having a sip from some sort of fabulous juice that she's had ordered in. Like it's just like everything is pristine. And then at the same time, the,
Starting point is 01:37:54 like she'll just occasionally drop in the middle of a conversation. The funniest thing that will end the entire conversation. Like I remember like after Miraj's stuff was lost, Morphine was like, oh, well, you know, thank God I didn't lose myself. Cause I'd hate to like have to use any of your girls' makeup or whatever. And then Maraj was like, darling, we don't have enough concealer for you. And it was so like quick and just in the middle of everything. And then she just goes about her business and it's so cunty and funny.
Starting point is 01:38:29 And she's just like, truly like, and then her show is like, ugh. But her assistant ace is like this very similar kind of just watches everything and is like straightening hair and living the life and it's so fabulous. So for me, the like top scream queen would be either like that Marina or Fina Babatel being like an absolute wretched piece. I think I'm actually gonna have to give it to Fina because I, from what I've heard of the tour on this, I think we've been talking for about 20 minutes at this point, on this podcast today, and also in the stories
Starting point is 01:39:08 that I've heard of in the past four or five days, that she sounds like a diva that will fit right in to the bunker. The bunker, true. Shit her in vanity as well, that would be a good time. But like sneaking up to people and whispering evil things into their ear, that's great. Exactly, like she was like,. Exactly, she was like, she was, I was like,
Starting point is 01:39:27 can you do my zip up for like, and just like, wow, you went and got this at Sears or Lowe's, like, when did you get this? And I was like, and it would just be these little strays. Yeah, so good. That's great. Excellent, well, she's in. She's in! I like that. Excellent, Well, she's in. She's in. Oh, I like that.
Starting point is 01:39:46 Excellent. Straight into the bunker. And the lack of a smell. Okay. So in summary, this week we have from karaoke, everybody be singing. Um, dancing queen. Dancing queen. And then our political slogan.
Starting point is 01:40:08 We've got a few because, you know, there's re-election and so forth. But um, hooba dooba. Hooba dooba. And don't you remember hooba? Hooba dooba, remember hooba, and then make America great again again. I'm so glad that we've now got two more titles ready for Death to Everyone. Live! Because the next one, best believe, will be Live Lux.
Starting point is 01:40:37 Perfect. And then we can have, I don't know, Death to Everyone. Live! Again. Live! Live, live. Death to Everyone lives?! Again. Live! Live, live. Death to everyone. Lives?
Starting point is 01:40:47 Farts. Farts. Oh, that's great. Oh, that's really good. Maybe that should be, no, live to live. No, live to lots is so funny. Live to live. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:56 Live to live. Yeah. Remember live? Who but lives? Yeah, who but lives. And then the scream queen and the bunker is... Fina Babatol. Incredible.
