1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: We've got a special bonus episode of from the news

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Room for you Today, I sit down with m Rosciano,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: a writer, singer, stand up comedian, podcaster and just a

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: total legend in general. She's going to tell us about

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: the many ups and downs she's had in the past

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: few years, including being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. She's

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: also going to tell us about her new national tour

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: and I love this. She is going to detail her

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: most awkward celebrity interview.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: For the rest of the interview, the least sing us

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: out there with his middle finger up at me, the

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: whole like.

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: It was actually quite impressive.

14
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Wait to hear that story. All right, we'll get underway

15
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: in just a moment. You have had a pretty chaotic

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: few years. Can you just give everyone a quick summary

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: of what you've been through.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: Well, there was this.

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: Little once at a lifetime pandemic. I don't know if

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: you heard of it as a live performer the Lockdowns.

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm from the home of Lockdowns, Melbourne. You're welcome, and so, yeah,

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: we went through that. Then I was diagnosed with ADHD,

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: I found out I was autistic, and then I found

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: out I was an early menopause.

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: You've been through it.

26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: Look, I'm an overachiever, you know, and I feel like

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: I had to really just get every diagnosis that I

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: could possibly get.

29
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: Let's speak about ADHD and autism. If we can just

30
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: those little.

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: Light topics that no one freaks out about when I

32
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: speak about it.

33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: Well, I would love to know what life is like

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: for you. So I'm gonna give you a scenario. Let's

35
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: say you're walking into a social gathering and there are

36
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: some people there that you don't know very well, but

37
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: you have to mingle. What are the thoughts that go

38
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: through your head?

39
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: Well, your first mistake is that I'm out of social gathering, right, Okay.

40
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: I tend to not go to social gatherings. Well, before

41
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: I enter a social gathering, I usually practice what I'm

42
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: going to say and think of things so I don't

43
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: offend people. And then I'll walk in and then usually

44
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: the music and the smells and the sounds and the

45
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: clinking of the glasses will hit me.

46
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: So then I'll try and deal with that.

47
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: And then I'll try and pick a person that I

48
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: think I maybe know, or maybe I like their outfit,

49
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: or maybe there's something about them that I can mention

50
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: and compliment them on so we've got something to talk about.

51
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: Then I'll go over to that person and then I'll

52
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: think about the right amount of eye.

53
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: Contact I'm supposed to make. Is it too much, is

54
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: it's too little?

55
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like really creepy, and then sometimes not enough.

56
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: Then I'll go and try and find an animal or

57
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: a child to stand with, because I always feel safe

58
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: with animal or children. Generally, if I've gone missing at

59
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: a party, look for the dog or the kid, and

60
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: I will be nestled up next to them, chatting about

61
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: whatever they want to talk about. So for me, it's

62
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: generally an assault on my senses and a worry that

63
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 2: I'm going to offend everyone and be asked to leave.

64
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: But then ultimately I am hoping to be asked to.

65
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: Leave, so that's why I stay home.

66
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: Bucky, Wow, that's a lot. I have heard that neurodivergent

67
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: people use something called masking, yes, in social situations. Can

68
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: you explain what that is?

69
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Well, Masking is hiding certain attributes about yourself as well

70
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: as you can in order to assimilate and fit into

71
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: the neurotypical people around you.

72
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: Now, masking is a privilege in some ways.

73
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: Also because not all autistic people can mask, but a

74
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: lot of women are highly masked. So it's just a

75
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: way to, I guess, protect ourselves from ridicule or someone

76
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 2: noticing that there's something different about it. And it's something

77
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: that girls do, especially from a very young.

78
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Age, so you basically have to be a different version

79
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: of yourself. Yeah, that must be exhausting.

80
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: It is.

81
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 2: I don't think women full stop in the AFAB community

82
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: are taught when we're very little that you know, you've

83
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: got to be good, and little boys are taught that

84
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: they've got to be brave. So from the moment we're

85
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: kind of cognizant, we are trying to fit a stereotype

86
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: that society.

87
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: Is deemed a woman should be.

88
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: And when you quickly figure out, as I did, that

89
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: I didn't fit that stereotype. I had to figure out

90
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 2: ways to kind of put my human suit on every

91
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: day and fit in, which I didn't do very well,

92
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: but I did try. And it is exhausting essentially playing

93
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: a role every day.

94
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: So do you feel like you can take that human

95
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: suit off now and be free? Yes, yes, love that.

96
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: I do feel somewhat unmasked. I mean not now.

97
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: I'm not with you because I'm worry of anything I say,

98
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: like I'm thinking twice and speaking once, like grandmother always said.

99
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: But I'm certainly presenting a much more. It's what the

100
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: world gets of me now is very much me.

101
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: You were diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago.

102
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Why is it that so many more women seem to

103
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: be getting diagnosed later on in life.

104
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's an overcorrection of a chronically underdiagnosed condition. Basically,

105
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: so many of us were missed so early on. Because

106
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: the prototype for ADHD, when you think about it, is

107
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: Bart Simpson. If I ask you to think about ADHD,

108
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: it's a ten year old boy bouncing off the walls,

109
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: not an exhausted forty year old mother of three. So

110
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: the problem is there's this symptom recognition bias, and when

111
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: you find out you do have ADHD, initially you think, no,

112
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not a hyperactive ten year old boy.

113
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 2: And when we started to realize, you know, there's different

114
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: symptoms and different presentations, then the diagnostics were corrected. Women

115
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: got together online through social media, we were able to

116
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: meet and compare notes and experiences and realize there's a

117
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: really nuanced presentation of ADHD there's not just one thing,

118
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: and so finally there's a much needed overcorrection in diagnostics

119
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 2: because there's so many of us lined up backlogged.

120
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Are you on medication for ADHD? Sure? How quickly after

121
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: you first took meds did you notice of change? And

122
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: what was that change?

123
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: For me, stimulants worked, and medication certainly isn't for everybody.

124
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: And you know, I always speak about medication with real

125
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: caution because you know it is it's really individual, and

126
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: ADHD is like a fingerprint in people. It shows up

127
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: differently for all of us. For me, within half an

128
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: hour of taking the stimulants. You know, I've said this before.

129
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: It's like when you live in a house. When you

130
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: have ADHDS, like you're living in a dark house. And

131
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: when you have the stimulants, it's like you get given

132
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: a torch and you can shine your attention on certain

133
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: things in a streamline fashion. It's been called glasses for

134
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: your brain. For me, there's always been a lot of

135
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: internal monologue, four or five shouty voices and commentating my

136
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: every move thought and action, and it kind of whittled

137
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: it down to just one exhausted woman chatting. For me,

138
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: it was life changing, but I also appreciate that's not

139
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: the case for everybody.

140
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: So meds have helped you. But what is one small

141
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: thing that all neurotypical people can do to help neuri

142
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: divergent people, just to make life a little bit easier

143
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: for them.

144
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: I think educate yourself on our communication styles. I think

145
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: one of the things a lot of neurodivergent people find

146
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: difficult is we often are blunt with our communication. We're

147
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: very honest and open, and sometimes we take things literally,

148
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: so you might ask our opinion on something and we

149
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: won't understand that you just want some support in that moment,

150
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: we'll actually tell you the truth. I think it's just

151
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: a general understanding of the way neurodivergence functions, and you know,

152
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: offering supports in workplaces, noise canceling headphones, staggered start times,

153
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: working from home, finding out with their special interests are.

154
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: It's just knowing more about neurodivergence. Because someone at your work,

155
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: someone in your family, someone you love is neurodivergent. You no,

156
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: it's not a rare thing, and if you're able to

157
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: understand how to support them, they can be their best

158
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: self and that ultimately helps everybody So if you.

159
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: Have trouble lying, what do you think of this outfit?

160
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: You think I'm rocking it today.

161
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: I think you look like an immaculate gay man.

162
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Accurate. And you recently announced a brand new national tour.

163
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: It is called out Grows, and this is your first

164
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: national tour since twenty nineteen. I think it is going

165
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: to travel the country in July and August. I haven't

166
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: had the privilege of going to one of your shows yet,

167
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: but several of my friends have. They say that it

168
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: is kind of like attending a Hillsong church service, but

169
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: without all the religious stuff. What exactly happens at an

170
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Emersiano show.

171
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: I think that's a compliment.

172
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: People do like in my show to going to church,

173
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: but without the religious stuff, without the shame and guilt.

174
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: Oh god, I shouldn't have said that. So not all

175
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: churches like that.

176
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, but I grew up Italian Catholic, so

177
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: you can understand.

178
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: My shows.

179
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I aim to create an experience for my community where

180
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: they feel like they belong. I think I've realized that

181
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: you know, you teach the lessons you need to learn.

182
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: My whole life, I've felt like an outsider, and I

183
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: think subconsciously, I've created a community and a universe and

184
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: an experience where other people who have felt othered can

185
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: come together and feel like they're part of something. And

186
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: there's every single you know, pen in my pencil cases years.

187
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: There's stand up, there's singing, there's dancing, there's music, there's puppetry,

188
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: there's all sorts of things.

189
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: This show especially is a bit of a love letter to.

190
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: The neure adivergent community, and I hope that neurotypical people

191
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: come along and feels like they're sitting inside my brain

192
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: for ninety minutes, because I really want to give an

193
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: experience and a roadmap as to how I experience the world,

194
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: and do that through the last five years of interesting

195
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: but everything I've experienced is universal, you know, interesting diagnostics,

196
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: and every single person with ovaries will go through menopause.

197
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: So it's not a niche topic I'm hitting on there,

198
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: but I do it in a way that I hope

199
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: makes things a bit easier for people.

200
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: An Outgrown is going to be a multi sensory show.

201
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Tell me more about that.

202
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: We're really looking at lighting, soundscapes, actual physical things falling

203
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: from the roof. When there's an autistic people have special

204
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: interest topics, which means when we hit on a topic

205
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: we know a lot about, we just talk about it NonStop.

206
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: We go into like this deep dive dissertation on it.

207
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: And there's a couple of times in the show where

208
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to go into a deep dive on my

209
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: special interest topic and we'll illustrate that with light and sound.

210
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,479
Speaker 3: Autistic people especially.

211
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: Are often in awe of things, like there's just I

212
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: always feel in awe of the world and I take

213
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: everything in everywhere, all at once. So I want to

214
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: create a feeling of awe with music. Yeah, we're just

215
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: they'll be I don't want to give too much a worry.

216
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: They'll be big puppet things and they'll be music, they'll

217
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 3: be sounds.

218
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: Sorry about are they going to be smells pumped in?

219
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: We are?

220
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: We were looking at that, but I'm also conscious that

221
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: a lot of my audience are and you're a divergent

222
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: and sensitive to smell, right, So I did at one

223
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: point think about it, but we're just going with something else.

224
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: That's not a smell.

225
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: But it will be a show that I just want

226
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: people to feel. I want them to feel magical. I

227
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: want them to feel like they've left. Just you know

228
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: that feeling when your mom first put the glowy stars

229
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: on your roof and turn the lights off when you're

230
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: a kid.

231
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: I want that feeling in my audience.

232
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: Slightly off topic, just on the no type of thing.

233
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: I'm a side press point on the sense of smell.

234
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: Is there a smell you love that most people would

235
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: find odd? Because I if we're going to do confessions here,

236
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: whenever I go for a run, when I get home,

237
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I love smelling my shorts too much.

238
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: Wow, I love that for you.

239
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is super freaky. I reckon hape the guys

240
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: do it? Do that?

241
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: Ye?

242
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: I in on my bing gooat card today. I did

243
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: not think, Bucky.

244
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: That that was what I was going to get out

245
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: of you. I just love the smell of now polish,

246
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: Like that's I love now polish.

247
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: But now I'm going to be forever in a day

248
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: thinking about you sniffing your shorts after you go for

249
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: a jog. I actually love that about you. That's made

250
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: me love you even more.

251
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: I can send you a pair of your blay. Okay.

252
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: I have sensory issues. I smell everything everywhere all at once.

253
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: But I really love really strong yeah, now, polish fumes,

254
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: love a.

255
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: Fume, dry cleaners, yes, chemical smells, heavily chlorinated indoor pool.

256
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: Can't you fly? Though? Ironically my whole show is flowers.

257
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know that Outgrown is going to be

258
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: a massive success because all your national tours are huge successes.

259
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: But I would like to know just between us girls,

260
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: do you make much money out of them? Or do

261
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: they put cost heaps of money to put on?

262
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: Wow, they cost heaps of money because what people don't

263
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: realize is I'm the artist.

264
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: I'm producing the show frontier a touring me.

265
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: But I pay for all the crew, I pay for

266
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: all the venue, higher, I pay for the band, I

267
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: pay for costuming, I pay for everything. So they are

268
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: expensive in that sense. But I guess for me, I

269
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: have this amazing responsive audience who buy tickets, who come along,

270
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: who support me. They know that I'm doing it myself.

271
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm neurodiverg and I'm a woman, and I don't have

272
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: big companies backing me, so they're generally really supportive. And yeah,

273
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I make you a good living off what

274
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: I do. I've been in it for twenty years. I

275
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: work really hard, so it's taking me a while, But yeah,

276
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: I do, I do.

277
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

282
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: on your blog a few years ago. You said commercial

283
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: TV in Australia doesn't want to bar off me. What

284
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: makes you say.

285
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: That, Well, I'm not on commercial TV in Australia, am

286
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: I have you?

287
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: Have you gone for shows that you've been knocked back?

288
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: Gone with lots of shows.

289
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: I always get down to the last two and that

290
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: I'm their quirky option. I'm their dangerous choice, me the white,

291
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: middle class suburban mother.

292
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: Can you name drop some shows?

293
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

294
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: Not?

295
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: Okay, but I did actually miss out on one show

296
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: that I was sad about was It's a Knockout. I

297
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 2: got down to the last two for the It's a

298
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: Knockout reboot and I really wanted that because I grew

299
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: up loving It's a Knockout Jackie McDonald, like the Daryl's

300
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: the whole thing, the outdoor of it, the Queenslanders of it.

301
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: I've got down to last year for quite a few shows,

302
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't generally get across the line. I've

303
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: always wanted to make my own TV show. I want

304
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: a big, shiny show, a variety, shiny floor variety show

305
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: where I'm Judy Gal and I'm Green Norton, you know,

306
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: like I'm all these things I've got. Guess I'm singing

307
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: with the band. My ultimate dream is to one day

308
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: make that. So I've just got to get successful enough

309
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: that I can just self produce it, which is what

310
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 2: I do with my podcast, what I do with everything.

311
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: Now. My production company makes it. But I just think

312
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: now things.

313
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: Are changing with streamers and there's more diversity on Telly.

314
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: But remember when I was trying to crack Telly. It

315
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: was early two thousands and we were seeing, you know,

316
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: not ethnic, tattooed, shorthaired women on the television. And that's

317
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: the truth, just there was none of us.

318
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: There was no one. So I was probably up against

319
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: it from a start.

320
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Who ended up posting it's a knockout?

321
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: I can't remember. I want to say Charlie Delaney maybe

322
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,480

00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Oh.

00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: I lost a lot of gigs to her and Shelley Craft,

325
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 3: And when you think about it, if they're going to

326
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: hire a beautiful Shelley Craft, they're not gonna higher bolshy,

327
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,200

Speaker 2: She believed in herself, the self belief that she had

346
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: was oozing and she did not disappoint.

347
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: It was incredible.

348
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,040

352
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: We spoke about the best celebrity who was the biggest

353
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: dick though.

354
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: Everybody knows this story and for some reason that's been

355
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: doing the rounds. Early days in radio, I interviewed the

356
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: lead singer of Snow Patrol and we got told before

357
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: the interview, don't bring up the fact that this song

358
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: got huge on Ally McBeal medical shows. Here the song

359
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,359
Speaker 2: was it Ally mcfeil.

360
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: Like, they don't like to talk about it, don't bring

361
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: it up, and I'm like, we we're commercial radio, Like

362
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: I have to mention, I have to position you for everyone.

363
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: So I just.

364
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: Said, obviously, you know you've got huge fame notoriety from

365
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: Grey's Anatomy. And then for the rest of the interview,

366
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: the lead singers out there with his middle finger up

367
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: at me the whole like the It was actually quite

368
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: impressive now I look back on it as a young

369
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: like I just added in radio, it was people pleasing.

370
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be seen as anything difficult or

371
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: believe it or not. And now if someone did that

372
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: to me, I would just derail the entire chat and

373
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: we would just go right into their childhood as to

374
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: why they feel like they're doing this.

375
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: But it was wild.

376
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: I sat there the whole time and all of the team,

377
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: everybody could see he was doing it, but me and

378
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: my co host was so shocked and just wanted the

379
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: interview to be okay that we're just it's wild.

380
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,360

381
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,040

382
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: the lead sing.

383
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's a lovely guy. I just annoyed him

384
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: and he really made a strong choice.

385
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: Is he the one that is dating Courtney Cox at

386
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,240

388
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: You know, you know his things have turned around. I

389
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: just got him on a bad day, but he was

390
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: the most technic and it was early days.
