...toe...
...to everyone...
Hello, listener, and welcome back to death to everyone.
This is season three of our fabulous podcast.
My name's Zelda Moon.
And I'm lazy Susan.
And of course, driving us around the folds of space is mad.
The folds of space.
That's what people say.
Dipping in and out of the crevasses and folds.
The undulating waves of space
And Matt
And Matt
The space car driver Matt
What do you think about
Like deep ocean currents
You know how there's like rivers in the ocean
I love it
That is so cool
It really makes you think
Yeah
Rivers can be anywhere
Yeah
Well
You know
What do you think about wind
It's like a river through the air
Right
Right
That's crazy
Hmm
Heavy air
yeah
yeah
what do you think
about people
who talk about
theories of like
there's a planet
where it rains diamonds
I don't care
I don't live there
I don't know
I don't know
the only
raining diamonds
I care about
is Ricky Lee Coulter's
song
Raining Diamonds
Oh
this is going to be
I see a rain
rain rain
rain and diamonds
Is that a real song
I've never heard that song
You know
they say that love is just
surviving.
I think that bunker inhabitant Emma Frost might enjoy that song, since she is indeed
able to turn into a diamond.
Who would play her?
That's January Jones.
After extensive VFX work.
Okay, so what is this show about in season three?
Well, each and every week, we go through a range of fabulous topics.
And from those topics, we nominate.
the best thing of that topic.
Yeah.
And that is preserved for all time in our doomsday bunker.
So say it us.
None in the bunker.
As we say every week.
Yeah.
To things that indeed will not be going in the bunker.
What show do you think had the most, like, this was the show in season one.
And then by season three, like, that's not what the show is about anymore.
Like, I'm thinking about Cougatown, where they're like, the show is about Cougatown.
And then by season three, they're like,
This isn't about Cougatown anymore.
What did it turn in to be?
Well, it was meant to be like jumping on the Cougatown trend.
Cougar trend.
What is Cougatown?
You know, Corny Cogatown.
I've never seen this show.
Busy Phillips Cougatown.
What?
Honey, it's Cougatown.
Oh, my God.
You know what's really funny about Cougatown.
Everything.
It's a delight.
But in season one, it's like, she's become a cougar because she's recently divorced.
And then they found that the cast were how.
having such a fun time and really jelling.
And then it just became like an ensemble comedy
about this really wacky group of friends
who drank wine together.
And it stopped being about Cougatown.
That's fun.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's like really different
from the original premise.
She was a cougar at the start,
but then she became a human being.
A literal cougar.
That's what I've understood.
Darling, watch it.
You know what, though?
It's funny, my friend Nina.
former guest to the show
would whenever she'd get depressed
loved Cougatown
and she would watch it
and sometimes when I was like
because we used to share a bunk bed in university
I'd be like
I don't know why I was in her bed
but found like
the whole DVD box set of Cougatown
like underneath the sheets
and I was like oh are you okay hon
she's like don't look at it
don't look at it
Those are just for me
I just need to Cougatown
I'm being to Cucketown
Do you know in season three
It's more about them just being friends
Yeah
What a different show it was
I like it
Yeah
Listener I'm so glad
You've enjoyed our
debut episode of season three last week
God, it's always so stressful
studying your third season
I know
But rest assured
You can expect
About the same
yeah no it's a great show people love listening to the show yeah you love it listener right
you love us forever right you will think we're beautiful we've brainwashed you enough to believe
that you love it yeah we're very funny it's kind of like stockholm syndrome i think now oh absolutely
you meet the people that know about the show and they're like yeah i have to watch it
You should have heard the desperate messages I got in our season hiatus from all these freaks.
I mean, sorry, thank you for writing in, listen.
I never get any of those messages.
Which I think is saying.
No one ever messages me.
Could you imagine if I was lying all this time?
Oh, my God.
I got this message from this person.
Oh, do, do, do, no, I wouldn't be the first.
Well, you haven't mentioned any name, so.
True.
Prove it.
Ben buggy.
Does Ben Buggie even exist?
Yeah.
Do you think I'm making that tie at home?
Yes, maybe.
Yeah, maybe actually.
Well, you could just buy it.
Ben Buggie, you can just buy it.
Imagine if I was actually crazy.
Made up a fan.
And had made up all of that.
Do you think, I mean, I don't want to insult listener of the show and someone who sent us free chai multiple times, Ben Buggie.
But is that like equivalent of making Musley?
making try.
Yeah.
It's definitely adjacent, yeah.
Matt?
Yeah, so it's just like,
I bought the other ingredients
and put them together.
Yeah.
It's not like...
Aw.
This is why I gave the disclaimer.
Ben Buggy, don't listen to this.
But, right?
It's not that hard.
Ben Buggy's sister,
we didn't tell you not to listen,
but don't now tell Ben Buggy.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Enough about that.
So what's the news?
Oh, do you know what?
I really wanted to just quickly
stick the knife in on.
Yeah.
Me and Zelda
applied for Screen Australia funding
Yes
I feel like we haven't talked about this
And this is what actually care about it
Yeah
Well we did mention it a few weeks ago
Did we?
Yeah you were talking about the application
Oh yeah
How big it was
Yeah
Much effort you put in
Yeah well I'm glad that we preface it
Now it's on the record
So we applied to Screen Australia funding
For a web show that we want to make
Which we're not going to tell you about
Yet
But we were like
Okay we're going to make
make a web show it's going to be six episodes it's going to be 10 minutes each but they're each
going to be cut up into TikTok size chunks so we can like also have a TikTok presence and rest assured
it will be funny and then we just yeah like they came back to us and it was like the most
put together application with like industry professional it was very strong it was good and it was
also just like it wasn't just us it was like we had signed on or
out, like, comedic cameos and everything and gone out and, like, gotten some real big
heavy hitters to, like, prove that we had the credentials. And then also, like, the production
team were all really seasoned producers who, like, have done a lot of social, but I've also
made feature films. So, and they did, like, a full budget line items, everything.
Don't get, don't brag about it too much. Oh, listen, I will brag, because I get to brag on behalf
of these incredible other people. But that's, too.
to say, like, we did all of that work, and then the people at Screening Australia came back
to us and were like, yeah, we, A, don't feel like there's enough character development,
and we're like, like, a season arc, and it's like, well, what's interesting about this is
that it's not a TV show, it's a YouTube show, and the way that this will appear to people
is that it'll just drop into your feed.
So it's a lot more akin to, like, a sitcom where the character
archetypes are set but they don't have huge changes over the course of a season and so if you'd
read the application you might have gleamed some of that yeah like it would actually like not
every show is the same show some shows a kookerdown yes um and it's just about drinking wine with
friends exactly some shows are just um funny like i don't know if you've heard of um the simpsons
you know america's longest running show those characters haven't changed that much episode to episode
And there's not really a season arc so much.
But that's why it felt from.
Don't let the different genre of TV distract you from the fact that you want to make a show that is that.
Anyway, and then they also said, because we'd supplied having worked in the social media.
And so, like, this is my high horse.
Yeah.
But having worked in the social media space in advertising for like five years.
And then on top of that being a drag queen who worked, you know, like does for all her own socials and everything.
they we supplied it how you'd supply to a client if you were going to be like shoot production
ready for a social media shoot which means you have the main scripts like the 10 minute long
scripts then you also supply this is how it would cut into six pieces for TikTok and this is how
you do it as a sequential piece so like there's a line that you tweak so that it works as like a
cliffhanger so people watch the next one then this is how it works as standalone so we ended up
supplying 45 scripts the main six 10 minute long and then exactly how it would iterate across
because they like are asking you to be production ready the thing that the people who are in
charge of giving out funding for web said to us was next time don't provide all those scripts
because it really confused our people because they're not really they don't really understand
what's going on with TikTok so you just need to provide the YouTube scripts
what do you mean you don't understand the people assessing for online funding in this country
don't understand what's going on with TikTok yeah no shit that's why you would like I don't
know just give the money to the people that understand it anyway so we are going to do it
anyway yeah we're going to do it on our own steam as we should have from the start yeah
um so hopefully in January we're shooting along yeah going into it all yeah
which is very exciting.
Watch this space.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Suck on that.
Except give me money for the feature film, bye.
Yeah.
I do still really want your money.
Yeah.
Well.
And respect the hard work you put in.
I also just wish I know Screen Australia and Vic Screen
don't have any money because they've been
butchered over and over again by every successive liberal government that's come
through that has been like, you know what?
We should cut the arts.
because they're the ones that criticize us
and so
there is no money
and I would so much prefer
the experience number one of applying
to screen and show you where they just don't
ask for
a shit ton of like documents
and they should just have to ask for like
a very first cursory glance round
or a meeting
not like
asking unpaid artists to do
like 40 hours of work
each in order to provide them like a picture book to decide whether they can make a TikTok.
Yeah. But the other thing is just don't provide that sort of feedback where it's like
there's not enough of a narrative arc. Just say you don't have the money. That's completely
fine. Don't make it about us. Make it about you. Like you don't have the money. You can't afford
it. You don't need to invent a reason. Or even if it was that there were, you know, like projects
that they were more interested in or more excited in or something.
Yeah. Like, I think it's much better to be like, this is, like, fantastic or whatever
it is. Yeah. But, like, there's other projects that, I don't know, like, entice them more
for whatever reason. Yeah, totally. Because, like, to say that feedback about this
suggests that they haven't thoroughly looked at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like, don't say
that because like what are you talking about yeah if if that's just like that well we have to say
something to say no yeah like pick things that like what why yeah because that just confuses the
whole thing because it's like well do you know what you're doing because we provided all
those things for this reason because that's what you asked for so I think I want to I want
the Australian government to try this method for four years one year use the full
standing methodology of like a selection committee people that make these
decisions based on the criteria, which is like they want to promote distinct diverse Australian
voices and blah, blah, blah, and then one year where they like just pull out a money gun and shoot
it with their blindfold on at someone. Yeah. Like I think it's like just full lottery. And then after the
four years, you compare the results. And if it's different, better or worse, then we can make some
decisions about how we're going to change it. Because I honestly believe if one year they were like,
you know, this is such a culturally important Australian work.
And then one year they're like, oh, like, this is about like a curious duck with a hat.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is someone who's never made anything and probably shouldn't be allowed to make anything.
And we just gave them $500,000.
What's going to happen?
Yeah.
And I just think it would be more interesting for the Australian world of film.
Because I think currently...
Like a ballot kind of.
Well, yeah.
Like lottery.
Like lottery where it's just like,
name yeah like no additional information just like see what happens if we give this fucking
whackadoo five hundred thousand dollars because it's like the weirdest the weirdest
australian films were like from the you know koki 70s 80s and 90s when there was like
money like particularly in the 70s when you got like you know mad max and bad boy bobby
and like all of this fucking crazy shit because it was just like here take the money we
need to have an Australian film industry go like and then you got yeah picnic and
hanging rock as well but you also just got like a bunch of fucking hippies doing a lot of
coke and making really insane films on the the you know government dime and now
because there's this like really intense oversight and there's not a lot of money to go around
everything has to be important and so we end up with all these films that are like
quote unquote important but no one wants to see
Yeah.
Buh.
Yeah.
Boring.
Particularly online.
No one wants to see your important online web series.
Oh, you lived in the regional area and you were gay.
Boo.
Yeah.
For a long day at work.
Yeah.
I don't need to see that.
I want to see you guzzling calm.
Yes.
In the bushes.
Yes.
Bring back.
That's important.
Screen Australia.
Pay for that.
The spoiler, ladies, we wrote a six-part series about the gobble ghost.
yes his story needs to be told darwin would you know apparently if you go to perth they have a lot of money because they have mining money
you can say they have a lot of gobble ghosts i'm sure they do yeah spooky um okay listener i have a quick update for you from last week's episode
a time of recording this episode we're only halfway through the polls to find out which RPG element will enter the bunker what it's been said so far can you give me an update okay well
here's two annoying things one on instagram you can only have four poll options so i had to split the poll
across three stories and to indicate that in an efficient way to the listener on the first two
i put one of those four slots as the there's more on the next story information point
Oh, so everyone's liked to that.
Everyone's been voting for fucking more on the next story.
Ha ha ha, listener.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha.
But there's two clear front runners.
Also, lots of people have voted on multiples.
So if you're stupid, I actually can't help you.
But I'm just going to go for like total votes overall.
But at the moment, there's two clear front runners.
Oh, I can give it away.
Oh, well, they're not what I expected.
You also didn't put any of the ones that I had said.
Yeah, I don't know how that happened
I want Vigar
We can get some ride in votes for Vigar
Vigar was sorry
Or metal
How is that I don't understand
But yes
Next week listener
We'll have the final results
I can't
I simply can't close the polls early
That would be wrong
Pokemon go to the polls
We live in a democracy
Can't close the polls
No
Everyone's voice must be heard
even if you've tried to vote multiple times and voted for the thing that is an
option.
Do you expect people lying on their couch, like in squalor, I assume, if you're part of our core
demographic, to just like, while I voted once.
I don't want to ruin the game.
I would like that, yes.
Or here's what I would accept.
You vote on the first page, and then when you click on the next door, you're like,
oh wait
I understand now
the seven options
have been split
over three stories
I'll go back
and remove my vote for fire
as I actually want to vote for thunder
which is on the second page
Zelda you should have done
let me tell you
put up the list
one slide
and then you know
with a corresponding letter
A lightning
B metal
C vigor
and then
put an answer box
below
it and then people could only answer ones and they would just say A, B, C, Vigar.
See, this is why this is, screen, Vic, should have, of a screen, I should have given us that money.
Well, exactly.
Because you have the social media plan down.
I do have the prowess.
Yes.
I understand how Instagram works.
So you know what?
I've learned something on this day.
I know.
I think now that I didn't before.
Yes.
So stay tuned for that.
And before we get into today's episode, which listener is another mailbox episode.
As you know for the title.
We should have had a decoy title.
True.
We'll do a decoy.
It's all right.
Baskow.
But before we jump in, I have a, just a quick story.
And then later we'll hear your apocalypse.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So yesterday at work, I was having...
you know, a morning, stressful morning at work.
And then halfway through the day, I'm on the shop floor.
And a customer comes up to me.
And she's like, excuse me.
Oh, God.
Yes.
Hello.
She's like, can you help me out for a second?
Something tells me, you can't be helped.
It's like, yes, of course.
um she's like oh my fucking daughter stole my blush so i need a replacement
it's like oh her daughter who was standing next to her and eight years old
oh and the daughter is like ha ha ha and i was like you gotta come and see mom make a
see now and so we go over to the um brand that she was looking at missus kisses if only
She's like, I need this one.
What brand?
What brand should go to?
Urban decay.
No, an American brand, whatever.
What is urban decay?
Urban decay is a cosmetics brand.
I love you, B-O-Mathie.
Yeah, what?
I thought you were joking.
Charlotte Tilbury?
Who's that?
Oh, she's a fabulous, urban main divider.
You thought Florence was the only one
Working the Machine
Also, Charlotte
And the machine is a blush maker
Yes
Also a scene stealer
Oh my God
Sorry, go on
So we head to the gondola
And she points to the blush
And I'm like, oh yeah, sure
So then I pull their little drawer open
To if she actually, oh, I didn't know
I could just open that myself
That's fine
Wait, are you meant to be able to open the gondolas yourself?
Like the displays, yeah.
We're really not doing a good job
to disguising what your job is anymore, are we?
No.
No.
I'm trying.
Oh, so she wanted a sausage roll.
Yes, so yes.
So then I pull the product out, hand it to her,
and she's like, oh, thank you.
Won't be long before a little bitch steals it again.
Oh, and the daughter is still there.
Still eight years old.
The lush cake down to her mouth.
It's like, well, enjoy the rest of your day.
She's like, thank you.
She was, and it just completely flipped my mood around.
And my point is, bring the Bogan back.
Where are the Bogan?
She was so unhinged.
It was incredible.
It won't be long before the little bitch is an inch.
It's like, well, what have you say?
It was so funny.
Yeah, I met a woman like that in the emergency department at the,
hospital one time when we were taking our daughter there because she had a fever or something
she'd eaten a bunch of blush yeah this woman was in there and she was like desperate to make
conversation with us love and our daughter was like violently throwing up as well into plastic bags
and she was like oh that's happened to my daughter before you know and then she was like what's she in for
obviously she's sick and um i was like oh so what are you guys here for because she had a
she had a girl with her who was about maybe eight or ten as well yeah playing on the iPad and she's
like oh she got her fucking um ear earbud stuck in her ear again oh my god it's like i can't get it out
oh my god so she's given her like those headphones that have the little
you know, plastic tips
and stuck them in her ears
and it's gone in so far
that she can't get it out.
And it's happened again, she said.
Oh, it was really weird.
Yeah, again.
Yeah, like it happens all the time.
Maybe she should consider it.
She doesn't learn a lesson.
Oh, over ear headphones.
Yeah.
Yeah. Big cups.
Kids also look so cute
in those big headphones.
Yeah.
They don't fit them.
Just get us some headphones.
Yeah.
My headphones.
But they really, yeah, I think they just,
those sorts of people
Bogans
They really just want to
They want to make friends
Yeah
Yeah well everyone does deep down
It's just they don't have the
They don't have the skills
So maybe the way to make friends
Is to be a bogan
Yeah
That's the lesson
I found that it's quite helped me in my career
Can I ask both of you
I'm sure you must have thought this
You know
When you were growing up
But were you to be diagnosed
With like a terminal illness as a child
what would your make a wish have been?
Oh my God.
Did you have that?
Because I remember Jesse, who was the year 12 student, had a brain tumor when I was in high school.
When I was in year 7, he was in year 12 or year 11, and he got to meet with Al Yankovich.
You would have been quite jealous of that.
I would have been very jealous.
I also have a tumour.
Yeah, literally.
Bake the tumor to get the wish.
That was like all I listened to in grade 7, I think.
Love Weird Al.
Oh, my God.
Zelda doesn't, but she doesn't understand the power.
I don't have the power.
But it's so up your alley.
No.
Yes.
Oh.
I love Weird Al's like story songs.
Oh, so good.
Not like the parody songs, like the ones where he just, like tells a story, like Elbuquerque.
I don't know if you've ever listened to that story.
I haven't heard that one.
It's, yeah, and then no one where he goes.
I will listen to it in the car on the way home.
He goes through the drive-thru.
Yeah.
And it's, it's just, it's just genius.
You don't like, bye, bye this are many young guy.
No, I don't.
Maybe Vader someday later, he's just a swell guy.
Oh my God, Amish Paradise.
Oh my God, Amish Paradise is a perfect sign.
Anyway, what would you make a wish be?
Um, okay, so when I was of that age, it probably would have been to, like, have Elijah would visit me on my deathbed.
Like a thousand percent
I wonder if he did make a wish
I feel like Orlando definitely did
Elijah would
Definitely would
The other day
He popped up at some person's wedding
In Hobarton in New Zealand
Oh
I was at spotlight the other day
And the woman
I put down this like olive
Like olive
A fucking
I want to say satin
But it was a veloury kind of fabric
And she was like
Make a Lord of the Rings costume
And I was like, no
And she's like, yeah, I guess this is a bit too warm tone
They're cool tone
And I was like, okay
And she's like, but you could play a hobbit
You've got the hair for it
You look like Sam
And I was like, ha ha, yeah
And then she's like, sorry, I'm at my second shift
For my second job today
And I was like, well, don't take it out on me, Diva
Just trying to live my life
But I do have such luscious curly hair
She's okay to notice
Brave
Matt, what would you have wished for?
No, probably meeting Weirdo
Would be great
That would be my dream
If I was in grade seven
Yeah
I feel like Weird out's the best make a wish
Like that's such a good make a wish
He'd make you laugh
Okay, there's no publicly available information
that Elijah Wood was part of a project called Make a Wish.
Damn.
So cold.
What do you get to do with Make a Wish?
Do you get to just meet people?
Yeah, or you can do, like, fun activities.
Like, go to Wet and Wild.
Yeah.
I would hate it if they tried to, like, temper my expectations for my Make-A-Wish.
Oh, yeah.
Like, if they were like, oh, probably not that.
Oh wait, no, here we go.
Elijah Wood has supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation
appearing at one of their events
alongside the actors from Lord of the Rings.
Aw.
I hate.
You know which one I hate?
The Marvel Maker-Wish moments.
Ugh.
Where, like...
They show up in the outfit.
I mean, God bless, but...
Yeah.
As soon as dying children have poor taste.
Well, my Make-A-Wish would be like a cure to this tumor.
To live forever
My maker wish
Make ten more wishes
Have infinity make a wish
Listen here, you little shit
Well give them the infinity wishes
What's you going to do with it?
Oh my God
Yeah
Okay
Wait, yours is weird owl as well
You seven me, weird owl
I mean why not
What
Because he also seems like a fun hang
He seems cool
Yeah
Maybe Lego land
Yeah
Legoland
Legoland would have been
You're like a dinosaur
I want to meet a dinosaur
Baby Yoda
I want to meet baby Yoda
If not
Thinking about the year seven of it all
Yeah
Because
I
That was very early Lord of the Rings days
When I was in year seven
Yeah
My second option
Thinking about myself
at that age
would either have been
Burke from Burke's backyard
Harry from Harris practice
Yeah
That would have been my language
Would have been
Delta
At the time
Too much build up code
Which like wouldn't be the case now
But it would have been like Turfie Murphy
Oh yeah
Or Tiffany Grant
Who's Tiffany Grant?
Who's Tiffany Grant? The voice actor for Oscar
from Evangelion
Oh, why would that be your number one?
It may have been, I don't know.
Bring me Tiffany Grant.
Probably Tiffany Grant.
I wonder if she's ever done Make a wish.
Probably, she does a lot of, like, cons and stuff, so, yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, loser.
That's good.
That's quite a lineup.
Do you think you would, um, plots even now if you met Elijah Wood?
Would I, what?
Would you be like, oh my God, this is amazing?
If I man, Elijah would.
Yeah.
Yes.
Still?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because I think he's done really cool stuff now.
Like, I think he's...
Do you think he's the best post-law of the rings?
No, because Liv Tyler exists.
She's just a landmine.
She's a beautiful woman.
Yeah.
Um, and also, didn't you see those photos of fucking, um,
Cape Blanchet on the tractor?
I think Cape Blanchet doesn't count.
She was like barely in that movie.
Show we Apocalypse now?
Yes.
Yes.
I found out that
magic erasers,
every time you use a magic eraser,
you know what I'm talking about.
I use them every day.
Yeah.
Magic erasers, great technology.
It's essentially a mild sandpaper.
It's an abrasive material
that you can get permanent marker
off a plaster wall with a magic eraser.
They're magic.
Okay, but here's the thing.
thing that I learned recently.
Oh, no.
Magic erasers, as you use them, you're sending just thousands of tiny pieces of plastic into
your environment, microplastic.
They get on every surface, like a really fine sandpaper.
Oh.
And just get into everything, go into the air.
And, you know, I'm a little bit freaked out by microplastics, the idea of them, the way that
they, and I'm sure I've already done this as an apocalypse, but specifically due to the
broadly available magic sponge, everyone uses it to get rid of life stains, not knowing
that they're staining their own DNA.
Oh my God.
And soon everyone gets these intense brain hemorrhages from where there's like tiny
particles of plastic building up inside of their brain.
rain, and then they die.
Oh, my God.
The whole thing was that it can clean anything, a little too, literally.
It wipes the planet clean.
Yeah, yeah.
The world is magically erased.
Like, I wasn't, like, I use them literally every day at work.
Yeah.
Like, by the, like a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Only forever.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Because they do kind of like start to disintegrate as you use them.
Well, part of using them is to disintegrate them.
Yeah.
Like, there's not a moment where they're not disintegrated.
Have you ever dared to moisten one?
Yes, that's how you have to use it.
Oh, no, I use it both ways.
Oh, you're terrible.
Oh, God.
Using it dry, quite good.
Maybe wet is keeping more of the microplastics.
I would say it is.
Yes.
If it's dry, then they're just floating away.
Are you going to think about that next time?
I'll think about that for the rest of my life, unfortunately.
It's like the trapped water thing.
Yes.
How many have used?
How many?
magic erasers have I used?
Yeah, because they're all inside, you know?
Probably like 500?
You know when they said, like, the average American eats a credit card every two years?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, the average Zelda Moon has five magic erases in her brain.
500.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
God.
Damn it.
Yeah.
I have, like, visual images of you with just magic erases inside your body everywhere.
Yeah.
Wouldn't be the worst thing that's been inside her.
Can you believe I got away
In that Rexona ad that I just did
On my Instagram
I got away with
Oh it's you know
Pharmaceutically tested
It would be the first tested thing
That's gone on my body
Implying that
I've had a lot of untested
Gay male raw sex
Yeah
And Rexona was like
Yeah
Slaidiva
Save it
It was very funny
Oh thank God
Yeah
Maybe it was a bit too subtle for them
Yeah, I think so.
I do think that they were like,
I don't get it.
My God.
Okay, shall we adjourn and then be right back?
We'll be right back.
Welcome back, you've just dropped your magic eraser into the sea.
Did you know, you can also use it.
it dry.
Our first
mailbox
item today
comes to us
in the
Show me your mailbox
I think you're going to say
show me a moose
like Captain Falcon
No
Um
Show me your mailbox
What's that?
That's the theme
Oh
It's an original thing
Show me your mailbox
Okay
Sounds like
It's a hit
Club hit
comes from Christine, long-time listener.
Fabulous Christine.
Happy Halloween!
This year, a friend helped me transform my 12-foot skeleton, Hector, into a giant witch
inspired by Seldar Moon.
I have a giant skeleton dog who is naturally Scooby-Doo this year.
I decided I needed a little bit of a giant skeleton dog.
a villain disguised as a werewolf and one thing led to another dot dot dot um and then sent through
a series of photos which i'm just going to drip feed now into the chat um so this would of course be
the um oh my god listener this is quite the image the the giant tell me what you see
okay so i see a very beautiful backyard quite a large backyard
with an open kind of grassy sort of thing
and then like a hodgepodge garden fence
you could imagine spending long summer evenings
out in this yard
seems to be trees everywhere
and then something concerning in the centre
we see a giant towering skeletal woman
dressed with a witch's hat
a pink body and a pink light shone upon her
the eyes of a werewolf or a Siberian husky
and just a two-piece set
a gorgeous little top, a pink top
and a big little pink miniskirt.
Haven't said anything about her curly girl wig.
And a gorgeous curly girl wig.
And then next to her is another skillington
of a larger scale, but kind of
crawling out of the ground.
So you can imagine its torso is like cut.
So it's just appearing as if the torso
and its legs are kind of east.
Islanding
behind beneath the
ground
and then
there's a
skeletal dog
a different
scale again
and
it too has
a kind of
husky eyes
and despite the
fact that
it's all bones
its tongue
is still
fleshy
and then
next to it
is another
skeleton
a third scale
and
it's got
a wig on
no eyes
and a green
shirt
in a clear
allusion
to the
Hannabarbera
Scooby-Doo
franchise
has. Yes. Then there was an accompanying message saying Hector even summoned some birds and then
of course you'll see the photos of this is such a beautiful display. Yes. Of the witch
Schennington with a murder of crows behind her I can only presume. It really looks so much like
you. It's incredible. And then I just soak back to this. I decided I needed a villain
disguised as a werewolf and one thing led to another.
I'll just send a new series of photos.
I'm not going to like this.
Well, we have a before and after.
Christine.
Christine.
And then another accompanying message of Frederick,
the other Skelington, is of course, channeling you, lazy.
And then in brackets, sorry, the wig is so busted, sweating, smiley emoji.
So there is a Skelington that's dressed in a boiler suit that's yellow.
and has a wig that can only be described as my wig.
A messy yellow fringed moment.
She does look good.
She does.
I do want to look like that one day.
And she is wearing a lazy Susan name tag.
Now, can you identify the employment?
No.
No.
It looks like...
But it's a...
It's a white badge with a red text, which is...
You know, that's, I don't know, season one or something.
quite divine well you've wasted your life but you've created a beautiful halloween decor but then
one final um note on this is that emma another listener made the dress and the hat what are you
kids doing this is so fun it's so cute and when i received these messages on hallow's eve
I thought it was absolutely divine.
So thank you so much to Christine and Emma for this beautiful display.
I think as a drag performer, all you dream of is an effigy created in your image.
And as with all decorations, my favorite part of them is thinking about them being removed.
Like, enough of this, get it down.
Where do you put them?
I wouldn't leave it up all year long.
I mean.
It's almost Christmas time and that means our neighbour's going to put on their
absolutely obscene level of decor
I love it
and they do like
all their decoration looks like it's from the 1980s
it's all made with asbestos
so it's like
Mary in their manger
you know hanging out with
in a nest of asbestos
yeah they're lit from within
oh my god
like a tungsten filament bulb
barely lighting her face
and a blotchy
uneven molded plastic
It's incredible.
I love it.
Okay.
Can we put these pictures of...
They're going straight to the library so the people can study them.
Ah, yes.
For the Halloween night Thursday.
I was going to say, can we put them on the Instagram as well?
Oh, that too.
Yes, I'm sure.
So you can go and check them out.
Yes, so that's very responsible, Matt.
So funny.
I like that lazy's eyes are not lit up at all.
Well, as in life.
Hollowed out.
You still have the husky eyes inside the ice.
pockets, but they're just not lit up like the way in the Zelders are.
They're just deep set.
Deep set.
And that beautiful expression.
More Skellington.
Wait, what's with the werewolf lazy?
Did we talk about that?
Yeah, we didn't.
So prior to, well, either lazy turns into the werewolf or the werewolf turned into lazy.
But there's also lazy werewolf, lazy wolf.
Like a skeleton with a werewolf head.
Yes.
Dressed in the yellow suit.
Fun combination.
Hmm. Two versions. Day lazy and night lazy.
And the moon is out.
I love it. Anyway, thank you so much for that.
And we'll be right back.
Bye-bye.
Hello.
It's time for our next piece of mail.
And no, listener, if you'd like to send in mail,
Send it to us at Death to Ephraimpod at gmail.com.
That's right.
Here we go.
Drag queens on film, brackets, urgent.
This is from the 24th of October.
Not really urgent.
Oh, thank God.
Dearly beloved, comma.
This is from Lee.
First time listener, long time caller.
In your recent episode,
Lacey happened to mention her habit of closing her eyes in photos.
Love.
This reminded me of a certain sticky hot summer night
at front of circuit, where my housemate and I drunkenly requested a photo of Lazy running away from us.
The photos turned out great, if you happen to ignore how inebriated my housemates and I were,
but I believe that some apologies are in order.
That night, we also happened to run some drag names by Lazy's friend,
who throughout the process of taking the photo assertively prescribed that you all abscond to the kebab shop.
the names were probably stupid and inconsequential
Susan Sox
Dimethyl chloride
Dymethyl chloride
Pardon me
Possibly Rebecca
Stuff like that
All of which were rejected
I apologize to your friend
And you lazy
For wasting your time
And harassing you in the street
The photos are an absolute piss up though
Now I'll just send through those photos
and to dear Zelda
I must apologize
I met you at a house party once
lost my train of thought
and finished abruptly with her
and she won the Emmy for that
I have to go piss so fiercely
I did not in fact have to pee
I was high and scared
and went on to watch
brother bear in the front room
with the sound off until I sobered up
Matt, nothing's happened yet
That's worth apologizing for
But misery comes in threes
Anyway, my question
In multiple formats
I don't know how you use these listener mails
Is, have you ever used another drag name
Before you were all Zelda Moon, Matt last name
And lazy Susan?
Or which stock drag name enters the bunker?
Sincerely, you're overzealous fan,
Monica fake name.
Oh, sorry.
Pictures are tagged
And to answer the question of what we do with these photos
I'm considering getting them framed
and put them on top of the list
of the latrines
of the latrine system
that's very fabulous
Who is this person and why are you at a house party with them?
I think
I think that this was a
Teresa Problem's birthday party
I think and if it wasn't
wow I really
They had to go and watch Brother Bear to get away from you
I really stress them out
You have that effect on people
There is nothing worse
Than being around someone sober when you're high
And what do you think about this hilarious photo
I haven't seen it
Okay
Now I'm looking at another photo
Which I know you guys love
And I am running away
Do you remember this night
And who am I with
Hmm
I don't know
One incredible night
They're taking selfies and lazy has just turned their back to them.
Yes.
I look incredible.
It's great.
More photos of the back of me, please.
Did you have a drag name before Lazy Susan?
I didn't.
It was just the original.
But you know what?
Famously, famously, when I got my drag name, Lazy Susan, I got it.
Me and Bay Marie, Melbourne icon Baymarie,
were both working at Blondie Bar
in Melbourne's South Bank
next to the MTC and VCA and all those places
and so we were like, we need to have
we need to just get drag names
but they need to be themed around
like hospitality working in a restaurant
so they have to be food kind of related
so that's how Bay Marie
and Lazy Susan came to be born
and then we insisted
that our drag child would be
share impersonator named chair.
I've been saying this for nigh on nine years, ten years.
Ten years.
And then this week on Drag Race season seven, someone did the snatch game as a
chair impersonator called chair.
That's crazy.
I mean, just what a hell, what the hell?
And now I can never, you know, it's like that joke is done now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And even now, people are like,
Mm, it's not true.
Matt!
Matt!
You sat on it too long.
Oh, ho.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
You're right, too.
Oh.
to doctor.
Shut on a
too long.
I need a little bit more support.
Lumbar support.
Now I've been on a two.
Man, you kill me.
You ain't got a leg to stand on.
You got four.
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh, dear.
Can I say,
though?
Can I say
You can't say
If you have four gay guys
And only one chair
How do you give everyone a seat
Turn it upside down
Oh God
That'll shit on a leg
That'll shit on a leg up their ass
What?
What do you mean? Is that a joke?
That's a joke
Oh Jesus Christ
How do you get four gay guys on one stool
Turn it upside down
I just had a
The only thought I thought of
Was just they were all sitting on each other's laps
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too
No, there's four legs
And they're each cramming their assholes on the legs
They square around
Yeah, it doesn't matter
It's like a hot dog in a whole way
That ridge to her pleasure
Oh
Gosh, what
You don't want to see that?
I don't want to see that
Yeah
Um, there's that, that's that bit of news.
I'm feeling very like, yeah, spurned by that.
Benign girl, of course, well, now her drag name is Belinda Greed.
But Benign girl started as Cleotaurus.
Ah, yes.
Yeah.
Back in the day.
She just, she just doesn't stick with anything.
No, she's got no stick to itiveness.
Um, I didn't.
No.
Zelda, Moon.
She is the one name, Zelda.
She couldn't think of anything else, I guess.
Matt.
Hello.
She just had one idea.
She just went with the first thing you thought of.
And the pod.
We had one idea.
Being nasty.
She got it right the first time.
Being a nasty pasty.
You're being a nasty pasty, Matt.
You tell us now.
I haven't actually tried drag yet, so I don't have a drag name.
Yeah.
True.
Next time there's an opportunity.
I might get you guys to help me
Oh well listen when you do it
It's called being a CD
And it has to happen in the dead of night
Yeah
In a baronia suburban home
Yeah yeah
You know wear a nice little lace panty
Yeah
The battered brassiere
Can't go out looking like that
Yeah
No I just deliberated over the name
For like maybe half year to a year
God damn it's all the moon
yeah um and then i was like i'm not doing this until i have what that sorted
sorted yeah uh yeah uh yeah i remember at the time that i was so like i wish i could have
been bay marie really yeah i loved the name be mary like i was like i feel like i really
missed something on that name but then lazy susan has just been the perfect name for me totally
Except when people go
She's not that way
Is she?
Yeah
But on the flip side
You love when someone says
Like, I'm so
Had such a lazy day
And you're like
I'm lazy
So
I do love it
Well, do I love it
Or do I have to
I don't know
Yeah
It's like when someone's like
Obligated
To vibe
What's the vibe?
And she's like
We did that to her.
Yeah, everyone does it to her
Yeah
She goes, five bucks
Five bucks
Yeah, for the vibe jar
Oh
Yeah
And we'll be right back
That's her
To
To be
To every word
Hello, listener.
Well, that was a really lovely letter.
And now we have another wicked little letter.
Wicked.
That was a lovely letter.
Wouldn't you say?
That was nice.
Just a series of apologies.
Yes.
I'd like to receive apologies.
Yes.
Okay.
Zedda.
Now, I have...
Do you not have an apology for me?
Wait, what?
You're going to apologize?
Wait, what are we apologising for?
I don't know.
I feel like you might have a few things to apologize for.
Those shoes for one.
If you don't know, then you need to think about it long.
Oh, God.
From listener, Melissa.
Melissa.
The title of the email is,
Your Exciting Craft and Metal Epp.
Dear Divas and Space Car Driver Matt.
Thank you all so much.
for the pod and especially the sudden drop of season three.
You're welcome.
It's a surprise to resolve.
I'm a distant but ardent lover of you both in that I've seen Miss Moon perform it for Fringe
in Boulou, Perth and missed Miss Susan despite her name being all over the quiz cards
that were part of the show slash game, which Melissa, sorry, what?
There's no way you could have seen the show without me.
Yeah.
You didn't miss one in.
Perth. Like, you've actually never missed one of them.
No.
Yeah. So.
Unlike benign girl, I am concerned.
That's fucking hell.
I don't know why benign's taking any sort of rinsing.
Rath, benign's husband.
If you're listening to this, make sure she gets the message.
Stop eating our blush.
And...
Oh, little bitch is going to do it again.
So funny.
Yes.
So many perform and loved her.
Oh, yeah, but didn't see Susan, which you're a liar, but that's okay.
You're a liar.
Loved her and the white teeth every time she appeared on the early kick-on's episodes.
And that love continues with your bitch-perfect pod.
Now, your recent app on craft and metal, spoiler and steel, and then in brackets and alloys,
is all up in my ears.
And it's my favorite, yes, even above the Melissa.com episode.
as her name is Melissa.
Love Melissa.com.
I'm a jeweller, perhaps even a craft artist,
and I'm here to console Zelda
on losing the Damascus debate.
What is often referred to as Damascus steel
is actually patterned welded steel,
not a true crucible of steel
that results in naturally occurring water-like patterns
as the D, sorry, as in the D version.
but the fine print matters little
since both are equally ugly
which Melissa
God
you're just spot on there
be that as it may
as you rightly mentioned in the episode
you can just melt and reuse
and even realloy metal
which is great for Zelda
and me
obviously that matters far less
but still thank you
correct
this is the ravings of a mad wolf
It's the best email we've had so far.
It's a bit of my pay grade, but the collective we do have the technology to turn that terrible looking steel into a brand new shiny steel with an electric furnace.
And from there, make practically anything.
I do not know what she's even saying.
Is she saying this in English?
As you can tell, steel is my favorite medal.
I'm so glad that some of it's made it into the bunker.
Steele is my favorite medal and I'm glad that some of it.
But to all this, to all in the space car today, that's Kisses in Italian.
Melissa.
Thank you, Melissa.
You just liked that one because she reaffirmed everything that you were talking about.
I think you wrote that.
I saw Zelda, but I didn't see Lazy.
Yeah, true.
She's sick.
How amazing, is that?
You can bet I'm glad that steel is in there.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Well, Melissa, I don't know what to do for you.
It's great.
But if I could make a wish,
brain tumors for all.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm raising money currently for peace of mind, the brain tumor organization.
So please go and bid on my incredible work of art.
Yes.
Say more.
Well, there is an organization that my mother-in-law, she had a brain tumor, and she said that peace of mind was really good.
They're in Jandjuk in out past Jolong, and they just offer support to people who are going through that, and that can be advocacy or if they need support,
payments from the government they can like help them with their forms and stuff like that or just like
basically like i don't know i think like if it's like where do i go for this service or this
treatment or who's who should i talk to about my my plans like my medical plans and like
all of that kind of stuff and they are having an art auction with various artists work and um i was
actually meant to host it but i unfortunately couldn't so um the next
best thing was giving them a disgusting
piece of work.
And now they have it.
And we're raising money.
Yeah.
To support the supporters.
I realized
what, so go online
if it's still, it's finishing at the very start of
December, so you still have time
to bid on my beautiful piece of work.
But I realized on this whole
listener mail thing.
Yeah. That I've been the victim of a listener male.
Oh. And I
I think that now that it's over, I can air this dirty laundry.
Have you heard of this gatekeeping pod?
Gate.
Gate.
Yeah.
Spelled gay.
Gate.
So they recently ended their pod.
Yeah.
Sorry, girls.
And it was a show that was like specifically about passing kind of niche pop culture law.
and I went and did an episode
and that was the episode I spoke about on here
where I'd gotten into full geese and pretended like
I'm going to another gig later
but I wasn't going to another gig later
and then because it was a video podcast
and I wanted to turn out as lazy Susan
and they lost the footage
and so it didn't go up
strike one
you know and then
Sam of that podcast
was like so we're having our final episode
and as we want to do we like to have
former
guests
send in a voice message
and I love that on shows
as they're ending
I think it's so sweet
and so I was like
okay well I'd love to
I'll make a carve out some time
in my busy chesh as well
and then
second strike after losing
the footage of me
second strike
and like the request
something is send a message
and then also do you want to reflect
back on the subject that we discussed
when you were on.
Yeah.
Okay.
First strike.
The episode comes out
and I am away from my phone
and read the description
of the episode.
Oh.
And it says
featuring guest appearances
from Mike's Mike,
bald and out,
Tana Tan 36,
and many more.
Many more.
You know her.
I carved time in my schedule fucking Mike's Mike.
But I'm many more.
Yeah.
Diva.
So I'm already like on it.
Did you get into drag to do the voice memo?
Yes, of course.
Anytime you're like I am now.
Okay.
So then the episode comes out and I'm like, well, let's see what many more has got.
Let me play you a little bit of what I got as many more.
Oh my God.
So there we have a best in rapid fire.
Yes.
And now we've been lucky to have some alumni of a prestigious television program.
Many more.
And this, we've had losers, we've had winners.
And now we're going to hear from them.
So we've got some messages from Lazy Susan first.
If you'd like to play that.
Hello, gatekeepers.
This is Lazy Susan.
Okay, well, I'm not going to play you what I said.
But I gave, like, a full rundown of, like, what we were talking about, which was Parker Posey and Josie and the Pussycats.
And then I was, like, talking about how Parker Posey had been snubbed at the Emmys on White Lotus.
And then I was talking about how the girl from the pit had won the year before, which we talked about on the same.
To see what comes from both of you next.
I'll see you both in hell.
Goodbye.
And then...
I think I'm our most crazy messaging.
that we're going to play tonight.
Yeah.
No offense to her, but I really, when we were getting these messages collated,
I didn't think we'd be spending so much time talking about the sort of minutiae
of Parker Posey's Emmy nomination.
But, you know, that's why we love Lazy Susan, because she's going to do that.
She'll take us on a journey, and she might take a little while to get there, but I'm always
along for the ride.
Oh.
And I wonder, what is the Blake lively of it all in regards to Parker Posey?
Did I miss something there?
Yeah, I think I missed that.
Was she in?
It ends with us?
No, because it was Jennifer Ely.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know what the hell any of you for hags are talking about, to be honest.
You're too busy watching Mission Impossible.
Well, you know, as Lazy Susan mentioned there, I'm watching The Pit, Honey, which is one of the best shows I've made.
And, you know, that was vindicated at the Emmys when it won basically everything.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of the pit is my main message from tonight.
And yeah, speaking of the pit's crew, we have another beautiful message from.
Sorry?
Wow.
Excuse me?
Did I just get, fuck, what do you mean?
Got truth bombed?
Yeah.
What?
I will never again.
I'm glad the podcast is over.
Oh, my God.
Did you hear the way they laughed?
Yes.
And I was quite sincere.
that message, I said, oh my God, like, I'm really excited for both of you.
I'm excited for what comes next.
Like, da-da-da-da-da.
And they're like, didn't she like to talk for a while?
You asked me to do this.
You asked me to do this and you can edit it.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
You can edit it.
And also, your whole show is about being fags who are overly obsessed with pop culture.
And then you have the nerve and gall and audacity to be like,
Why did she know a niche fact about the fucking Emmys?
Are you kidding me?
Pot kettle, bitch.
I was shocked and appalled.
Strike number three for these motherfuckers and more.
Many more.
And if you're listening to this, gatekeeping, lock the gate.
You're not allowed in.
I think I'm claiming many more is my drag name if that's still going.
It's kind of like Mandy Moore
It is a bit
It is a bit
There's already Mandy mobs
And many more
Mandy mobs and many more
Welcome to the stage
Many more
How funny
Did you hear the tone
Yes
What is that tone about
Yeah
That is a weird tone
It's not grateful
No
For your current reigning queen
To take the time
Out of her busy schedule
And it was also bespoke
It went back in my
mind and thought, what did we talk about?
Did you research?
Well, exactly.
I tried it to provide, like, they were like, talk about the thing that we talked about.
I wouldn't, I would just send a message saying, have a, have a great life.
Well, you know what?
See, you never.
See, you fucking knew.
Podcast is ending, and we've just ended season three.
Well, that's right.
So, who's laughing now?
That's right.
It's like Cougatown.
Everyone's laughing because it's such a great show.
Oh, my God.
I'm so mad.
Anyway, that was such as, where do I even put that anger?
Where do I put this anger, Zelda?
You need a Melissa to back you up at times like this.
Yeah, Melissa.
God, Damascus is so ugly.
I hope Melissa goes into their house and kills them in their sleep.
And says, Faisi!
With a handcrafted knife.
Yes.
My blade is steel.
Yeah, it's actually her favorite.
The police find a knife on the floor
And they're like, it's still her favorite
Oh my God
It should be
It's a list of all famous molysses
Yeah, sequel to the net
Melissa dot land
Yeah
Oh my God
I just want all our listeners
And former guests to know
The day that this show ends
we will have
we will have
voice messages
from esteemed former
guests
and they will not
be disrespected
no
apart from all
wait that's what we did
last mailbox
episode and kind of
what we did today
what
disrespect them
yeah
that's a listener
it's not guest
true
true
true true
if they're not
you know
wrapped up in
some apocalyptic
future
yeah true
yes
because the podcast
is only ending
when the
apocalypse arrives.
Well, yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
That was the idea.
I think.
Countdown clock.
That clock in the city that's counting down?
What's that counting down to?
Oh, no, I don't like that.
Have you seen it?
No.
There's an alley.
I'm seldom in the city, Zelda.
Seldom in the city?
Just empty shots of New York.
They'd say the city is one of the other.
the girls.
You should see a spin-off series.
Anyway, there's like an alley, and at the back of the alley,
there's this giant digital clock that is counting down.
Oh, what's it at?
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, it's like thousands of.
Tyra Sanchez.
She's coming.
Oh, my God.
Anyway, the information of what that is counting down to is probably readily available,
but I don't know.
Anyway, watch this glass.
Staring of the clock.
By that, I guess it's
counting down specifically.
Maybe it's a Banksy.
Zelda, maybe it's a Banksy.
Maybe.
Oh, God, he's crazy.
Have you seen him?
No one has.
Maybe it's a Banksy, Zelda.
Anyway, when I was listening to Girls Next Level last week, they were talking about, what?
How does that show still going?
It's so good.
How much?
They're only up to like halfway through season three.
Oh my God.
We need to just find something to structure our show around like that.
We're going to watch all of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
What if we became really committed to a show we don't really care about?
Like the pit.
Anyway, they were talking about how they've got like their,
they were like, you know, we've reset up our like Google phone
so you can call it to leave your voicemail.
Uh-huh.
Which I was like, what the fuck are they talking about?
Should we do that?
Yes.
Okay.
So I'm going to set up the Google phone.
Is it going to take you a half a year, like finding your drag name?
Maybe a full year, like it ended up taking.
What were your other options?
I wanted to do something fine, like either Fran or like Zelda Fine, something.
Tram Fine.
Tram Fine.
No.
Not interested in a pun name.
Welcome to the stage.
Tram fine.
I mean, that would be...
Tram is a...
Is that a Vietnam?
Like, Vietnam?
Imagine.
Yeah.
That would be so good.
You need to find a Vietnamese girl.
Yeah.
Is that...
Tram fan.
Oh my God, that's funny.
But, uh...
Yeah, so anyway, um, continue to ride in, please.
Like, we actually love it.
Um, but also, maybe soon you can send in a voice note.
Also, I listen to this really lame Star Wars podcast.
Which one?
it's called um empire radio oh get it because um did you listen to that going solo one
no you need to know no but i should so good yeah listen to melbourne and who does a
an incredible star wars podcast about the making of the solo movie and the other one and um she's
amazing i'm obsessed with her she's got such a good voice yeah and just listen um but yes they do
voicemail every episode and it's all people who have like voicemail in yeah um but they have like
people who write in every week and like add parts to their star wars fan fiction oh it's so tragic and do
they make fun of those people um no they very earnestly go like can't wait to hear what happens next
week oh oh it's so grim but anyway um yeah i think it'll be so fun if you like send in your voicemail
obviously do so knowing that we'll play it.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Do that.
Yeah.
So I listen to there's a podcast called Search Engine with PJ Vote.
And he did an episode called The Anthropological Deep Dive into Gooning.
And it was a guy who'd done this huge article about gooning culture.
Yeah.
And I was like, fascinating.
because there's just a little bit more to gooning than I thought
and there's one part of it where like if you it's kind of like online
you can be fed porn by have you heard about this no like you are like
in your goon cave and then you're like porn feeder will like send you like
link after link after link after link of like porn links that you might like
to try and like perfectly triangulate your turn on yeah and then
like the gooner will be like more
more until they finally come
wow and then you're like I've done my job as the porn feeder
wow give me
brittany spears
give me more
Britney in her goon cape
yeah oh I guess
and then
the
they have one guy describing his goon cake
And he's like, so I have like three like 8K monitors and then a projector and then a small tablet and then blah blah.
Oh my God.
And the guy's like, yeah, so that's his goon cave.
And the way the goon cave works is it's like not like each one of those screens is playing just one porno.
Each one of those screens is playing like 30 pornoes all in little screens, all like looping and ending and beginning the next video.
Yeah.
So he like, and he's like, well, the thing about going into the, like, the flow state that is a hardcore goon and bait is that, like, you might kind of start rolling off your chair and your head might lull to the side while you're hardcore gooning.
And then it's just so that wherever your eyes rest, you're going to see porn.
Yeah.
Wow.
There's going to be porn somewhere.
You're just like, oh, wow.
You don't ever have to, like, have the injustice of, like, activating the muscles in your neck.
To turn your head.
Your head towards born.
Yeah.
It's just like, there it is, there it is, there it is.
Glazing over and your goon cage.
But the thing about it is, I was listening to this information like, oh, interesting.
That's interesting.
And then the host are like, I think the majority of people would never like, you know, do anything like this or like go into this world.
And they just was like revealing how like lame and prudish these people are.
Because I think their response was like so like, isn't.
this bizarre and fascinating.
Yeah, but this also sounds like,
I think a majority of people
are not gooning and baiting,
but, like, have a weird kink.
Yeah, or like, something going on.
Like, at some points, like, yeah,
like rituals around what they're doing or what they like.
I just don't think, I don't think, like,
from my experience, particularly with, like,
straight men who are married,
my experience tells me,
that like there's a lot of weird shit
happening in plain sight
and like these guys
I'm like either you are boring
or you're not copping to the weird shit
that is going on
like in your, either in your marriage
or outside of your marriage.
Like trust and believe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, love it.
Shwell,
before we end out today's episode,
I just want to also say that
listener, it's not too late.
you could visit some celestial goddesses at Honto Disco on the 29th of November.
That's right.
If you so desire.
The 10-year anniversary of Hontro Disco.
Yeah.
Your favorite podcast hosts will be there.
Hosting?
Yes.
Gooning and baiting.
Indeed.
We'll be setting up the cave.
And do you know what?
The one last thing about gooning was, I explained to Michelle Visage what gooning was.
I was like, oh, they're gooning and baiting.
And she was like, gooning and baiting?
And I was like, what's that?
And I'm like, well, you know, you're like gooning.
You're like a goon.
While you're baiting?
And then I did the gooning face.
And she was like, oh.
Please stop doing this.
Where's Isis-Savis, Lauren?
Farnie.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Anyway, listener, thank you so much.
I thank you.
I thank you so much.
