But Denny has been an entertainer 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.840 since the age of seven, performing professionally ever since.

Show is loud, proud, 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.080 and starts with a kiss, oh my god, I feel 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.320 like I lied to sign up with the newly matched 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.080 couples putting their chemistry to the test as soon as 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.360 they meet. Now, this premiered last Thursday on Binge and 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.240 we're so excited to talk to Danny about it. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:08.240 Oh, welcome. 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.200 Very much for that immense intro. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.320 So hardly any of your listeners will know who I am, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:21.360 but yes, at the don't. I really hope everyone jumps 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.840 on and watches I Kissed a Girl because it is epic. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.240 You'll love it. It's really really wild. 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:33.280 The girls are matched, so we use psychologists to do 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.840 the pre interviews with all of the girls. Who they're 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.800 looking for, who they're not looking for. Try to have 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.600 enough matches for the girls as soon as we arrive. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.920 At the Massaia in Italy, it's a sixteenth century sort 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:50.720 of a farm chateau, kind of an Italian chateau that 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.240 they would have used, you know, an epic building on 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:54.040 a farm. 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.800 From the sixteenth century. So that's what it is. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:01.640 Beautiful building made for romance and love, unshine. And these 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.400 girls meet with a kiss, so they lock eyes. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.520 There are no words to be spoken. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.320 They walk from either side of this building they see 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:12.000 each other. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.920 It's so intense. It's a long walk. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.520 I guess you've taken a lot about somebody's mannerisms, their confidence, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.720 how they stand. You can see their minds going, this 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:23.720 is the right person? 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.040 Do I want to kiss? 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.040 Going? So that's so nervous. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.560 You literally don't have to kiss. But the premise is 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.680 that we feel like we're going to match them well 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.440 enough that they would want to. So we've never not 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.000 had a kiss. A lot of couples will go back 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.000 for a second kiss, and then it's kind of like, 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.799 I guess how we used to meet, like in a nightclub, 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.560 So there's no apps, there's no pre anything. So you 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.320 go to a club, see someone you fancy, and you 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.359 you know, mosey on over on the dance floor and 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.840 you end up kissing and then you're like, Hi, what's 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.320 your name? Where you're from? So it's kind of that 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:00.000 that premise. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.400 I feel like I'm a traditionalist in that way still 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.959 for my dating life, I'm not a big app user. 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.959 I'm someone who would like to be in the club 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.600 block eyes with someone, feel that chemistry, have a kiss, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.840 and then go from there. I've always been that way. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.959 It's how I met my first partner and how I 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.280 hurt my second partner. So I feel like if I'm 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:19.960 ever single and you do I kiss a Boy Again, 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:20.359 I'm there. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.160 Do you think you've ever ever come to Australia, Dunny. 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.320 I think that the more eyeballs that are on this, 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.239 like obviously every country would want to know, you know, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.720 is there an appetite for it. I think you will 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.720 love these British girls. There's so many different accents from 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.160 all over the UK, so so attractive. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.240 Like I looked at the trailer and I was like 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.360 obsessed because they're so different and they're like all extremely 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.000 attractive in their own like unique way. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.120 That's something that I actually recognized from watching I Kissed 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:01.080 a Boy was the diversity and it wasn't about exterior superficiality. 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.280 I really felt like the characters that have been chosen 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.760 and the people that were a part of this group, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.800 they were there for love. It wasn't really a superficial love, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.240 you know, like one of those shows where it's all 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.920 about the looks. I felt like people were genuinely there 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.480 for the love. And I feel like that's probably you know, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.200 the rigorous audition process if you figure that out right. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.960 It's a big part of the casting is to not 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:31.720 choose people that have gone to other auditions for reality 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:37.320 shows full stop let alone dating reality, and we do 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:43.159 a lot of researching through social platforms to find specific 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.640 people and sometimes they'll be like, oh, I don't know, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.320 I don't know if this is for me. And they're 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.279 beautiful people to see because they're not those people who 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.520 are like yes, TV, give me this and then we're 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.440 going to get these deals and get a manager and 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:57.000 all that. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.640 It's really about them out. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.640 Yeah, I want to find love and I don't know 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.640 how to cope with all the cameras and all of that. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.520 So and BBC three are very famous for having RuPaul's 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.280 drag race, so it feels like it's a nice home 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.680 and a good fit. And then they've got an amazing 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.599 care team, like leading up for the show, full time 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.080 on set and for a year afterwards. There are three 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.599 people that can contact twenty four hours a day anything 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.640 that might concern them or come up. We are so 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.039 fiercely protected them. Obviously, for the boys, it was the 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.799 first time ever in the UK for a gay dating show, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.800 so there's a lot on their shoulders, not only their 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:48.560 whole community looking at them, but a wider viewing audience. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.559 Then when the girls stepped forward, it felt so fresh 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.520 again because you know, they were saying to me, they 0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:00.440 they're not that visible on TV as just real people. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.200 Like sure, they might have seen a couple of characters 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.680 on some TV shows growing up, but everyone we're coming 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.880 in contact with at the moment is like, oh, I 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.440 really wish I had a show like this growing up. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.640 So they're not your typical reality show people. They are 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.320 looking for love. They bring themselves and we offer just 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.760 this really safe open space. So for the boys we 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.960 crewed up, it'd be over ninety percent gay guys in 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.840 their crew. There were some lesbians and then a couple 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:39.360 of straight people, which I say that is they feel so. 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.720 Secure and safe. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.039 And then same we did with girls, So it was 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:52.200 ninety percent a queer lesbian crew. And they that the 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.279 crew at the best time because they were like, we've 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.039 had this experience. We will probably never get this again 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.599 unless we can get booked, you know, so in case 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.560 this series comes back and you know, all of those 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.520 girls are fighting to get a position on the crew 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.000 because it's just so unusual. So we're resetting the standards 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.560 for what it should be, what it should look like, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:18.280 how it should feel, and it's wold because you've got 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:23.360 that safe, open space then the stories evolve. I learned 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.320 so much and there wasn't one person on the crew 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.640 on both the boys and the girls. And I'm walking 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.680 up to all the queer crew members and asking them genuinely, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.960 is there anything like saying that I learned a lot? 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.720 Is there anything that you didn't know? What was this? 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:41.120 Like? 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:42.360 You knew all of this. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.360 There wasn't one person that said that they didn't learn anything. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.880 It's very fresh and very new and I think very 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:56.360 needed because people need to see themselves on TV, in film, 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:02.520 in television to feel, you know, comfort and accepted and proud. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.720 What a beautiful thing like that is really authentic representation, 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.000 right and creating a safe space like we even know 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.200 about that when it comes to First Nations communities and 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.360 how much safer and inclusive it is when you have 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.680 mob around you know, it's that same connection. But I 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.760 do want to ask you you've had such an affiliation 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:23.720 and such and a really strong connection with the queen 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:28.160 community during your career. There is something that us gays 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:33.520 latch onto about incredibly talented, amazing you know women, and 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.360 you're one of them. I suppose that you know the 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.679 community has just uplifted do you feel that love and 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.640 do you do you know why there is that connection. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.640 It's always a question I get asked. It's always one 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.719 that I'm not sure how to answer it because it's 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.319 such an energy, it's such a feel. I feel it 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.840 and I love it, and it's the space that I 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.080 want to be in. So I've always been drawn to 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.760 that space. But to them be embraced by the community 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.280 is incredible. And then over this long relationship that we've had, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:12.560 working out ways that we can hold and uplift each 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:19.840 other and give back and celebrate together. It's been really 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:24.240 incredible and one that I didn't know would lead to this, 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.400 but it felt so right when this came across my 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.400 path and they're like, they said, have you ever have 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.480 you ever matched up any friends before? And I said, actually, 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.120 one of my besties that I write music with. We 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:43.120 were on tour together and we rolled into a town 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.760 and he locked eyes with this guy and he was like, 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.600 can he please come on the tour bus just like before? 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.640 We like that would be just airpic and I'm like flex, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.200 I'm like, okay, I've never seen you like this before, 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:03.000 so oh okay, And they ended up together. They got 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.839 married and they said, you're our kipper. Without that tour 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.959 and you saying yeah, come on the two of us, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:14.559 that wouldn't have happened. So this friend I contacted and 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.200 when I got this job of hosting this show, and 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.480 I'm like, this is happening now. He comes from Belfast 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.160 in Ireland, growing up around a lot of very strong 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.520 religion and really not feeling that he could ever be 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.760 himself until he moved to London. That's where I met him, 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:37.400 and his life flipped and changed. When I told him 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.800 what was happening in this reality show, he said, I 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.400 have to write the theme tune. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.640 I have to write it. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.319 The full body effect of Oh my god, imagine little 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.839 Ian and Belfast having seen this as a kid, and 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.400 it's so emotional. And this is all wrapped up with 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:03.640 my friends and long life together and so many things. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:09.400 Another friend of mine in Sydney was very scared to 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.480 come out and trust it in me that he was 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.600 gay and wondered how he was ever going to navigate that, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.280 and was convinced that his family would disown him and 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.440 it would be horrible, And I just was there to 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.400 support him and to try and make him feel safe. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:32.200 Eventually he chooses his moment. It was based around Marty Grass. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.240 So that is a very I think important festival where 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.959 people either come together to celebrate or use that as 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.440 at this incredible moment to move forward in their lives 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.320 and to be surrounded by the community. And so now 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.679 every Marti Gras that comes up, that's celebrated each year 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.160 as if that was his first year of being himself. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.880 And so there's this so much like linked when I 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.160 arrive on set to do my job hosting, which sounds. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:11.000 Slash cute but boring, it's very, very emotional. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.960 When I first met you, Danny, I feel like you 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.520 have just this beautiful I actually got stopped in the 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.920 street today from some I actually cannot remember her name, 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.840 but we worked on a job a couple of months ago, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.640 and she asked me what I was doing today, and 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.839 I was like, I'm just getting prepared and ready to 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.640 actually go into view Danny, and we're both sort of 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.079 conversing of how warm and how beautiful your energy is. 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.280 That it's just so nice to hear like other people 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.280 feel the same way as I do in terms of 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.199 when getting to meet you, how welcoming you are. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.040 Thank you and you too, both of you, like you've 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.400 drawn to people right and you you buzz off their 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.000 energy and connect and you see it coming through people's 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.520 eyes and a glow. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.719 You know, It's like an acceptance in so many other 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.480 ways too, Like I feel like we're talking about Marti 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:12.559 Garr and like queerness and seeing representation and seeing diversity 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.880 on these shows. It's just like you feel like immediately, 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.920 I just feel like immediately accepted into something where I belong. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.640 And I grew up not having a lot of places 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.560 to belong to, and I feel like coming into my 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.480 adult life, there is just so many communities that I'm 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.360 a part of that makes me feel so accepted and 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.600 like loved. And I think that's like our biggest you know, 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:43.080 our biggest passion is to share that with people and 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.280 to like converse and have conversations who feel the same way. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.840 And I feel like, yeah, we're really excited about the show. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.880 I mean, Danny, you've been a part of my life 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.160 probably longer than you can even imagine. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.119 I just feel like you just know me from the basketball. 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.000 We hang out at the end and it's like I 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:05.880 don't know. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.240 Wait, no I am no, No, I just mean as in, 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.280 like there have been moments where your name has like 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.400 been in my life, Like I think when I was 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.240 even working. This is going to sound so silly, like, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.280 but you know, even when Maddie intro and you're you know, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.560 part of like creating this like petite clothing, you know, 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.600 designs from Target, Like I used to have to wear them, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.920 like and I'd have your like name tag. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.120 You even remember, you know, I mean I remember the 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.160 launch at that range. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:40.800 I still think I have a pants suit from that, 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.480 Like from that launch, I honestly sweam. But that's what 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.520 I mean. Like, You've been a part of our lives 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.320 for so long, and I just feel like, you know, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.800 you in your life, you've probably changed and you've probably evolved, 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.360 but in my eyes, like I feel like you're just 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:04.080 like this vibrant, loving person that I've known seeing on 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.480 my on my TV or like seeing now in person. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.680 But it's just like it's just a bit of a spinout. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.960 I'm not having a fangirl. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.160 Moment, but I'm doing the best compliment I could ever 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:17.240 ever get. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.400 That is so high. Thank you. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.960 I'll let you know something. Brook came in here only 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.440 a couple of weeks ago, once she had had a 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.120 conversation with you at the basketball and it was an 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.760 amazing moment. Yeah, Brook light up so much. She said 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.480 that she felt really seen by you. And I think 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.280 that that's like something that is your superpower. And I 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.720 think that you know, that moment really inspired you. And 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.000 I think that without us knowing, you know, you know, 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.480 we also do the same thing for other people, but 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.680 sometimes you don't get to they don't get to tell us, 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.360 or we don't get to tell them. So you know, 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.520 we want to let you know that you know the moment, Yeah, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.560 that was a moment for Brooke, and it. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.760 Was you feel the energy to be with someone, to 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.880 hang out with them, to be around them. But sometimes 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.880 I feel like a real mission that I've got to 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.760 say something and I'd love I'd love that you've received 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:09.560 it and you're like. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.520 Oh okay, And it felt like it landed. It was 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.080 like a little light bulb moment. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.760 Have you needing to hear something to go Okay, I'm ready. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.920 I'm so ready to make this happen now. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.680 It's so crazy. Yeah, Like, I mean that moment for me, 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.320 it was like so what I needed to hear. And 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.280 I guess in my life like I don't have many 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.240 people other than Maddie and like my team and you know, 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:38.400 really close friends and family that would understand those experiences 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.680 and then like what I'm doing and like you know, 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.800 like what we're doing in our life and the craziness 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.040 of it sometimes and what. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.960 A beautiful visualization of giving your nerves to someone else. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:49.880 I'm taking that into my life. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.280 It's actually worked, Daddie. I have to say it has 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.600 really worked because I obviously I'm been on set more 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.600 recently in yesterday and and last week. I've had a 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:05.800 few seas and tomorrow is my like really big emotional scene, 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.840 but I haven't been like one part nervous. Yeah, I 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:14.080 gets so good, so thank you. It's just like I 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.040 don't know, it's just here. You take the good. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.879 Bits, you take the energy, and you savoring that moment 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.240 and it's something that you're passionate about that you want 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.280 to do. Otherwise you wouldn't be there because you've got 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.480 to open yourself up to so much around you to 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.040 make that happen. That you know, there's some stuff that 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.600 you just got to park that until you know, it's 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:42.399 almost nice to finish a scene or finish a show 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:47.040 and come off and whosh, the nerves can come over 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.919 there and it just turns into energy and excitement and 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:54.720 then takes agents to come down from that adrenaline. But yeah, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.879 you can just assign them to someone. So it's like 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.439 checking off a list that is done and the other 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.439 person is really fully committed to taking them. It's a 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.960 done deal. And we made that deal. We shook on it. 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.280 We were like, this is what's happening. The only other 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:10.920 person I've done that with is Kylie. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.960 Wow, Well, I want to ask you, you know, it's getting 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.280 to the end of the year.

I've realized that sometimes 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.400 you have to put boundaries in with family and if 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.639 you can only handle two days, it's two days. You know. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.159 I've become to an age where I feel like sometimes 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.000 you really have to protect what you've worked really hard 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.720 for in terms of maybe peace in your life. And 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.920 sometimes in my situation, I feel like, you know, going 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.679 home with family for too long can sort of disturb that. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.280 And I think it's just growing and maturing and realizing that, 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.879 you know, boundaries are important with family. So I'll be 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:33.439 with them for two days and lap it up for 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.399 the forty eight hours and then back to Sydney. What 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:37.040 about you, Brooke? 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:45.159 Similar Actually I'm normally the organizer. I usually get all 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.919 my family together, you know, pay for them to all 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:50.919 kind of come from wherever they are to be in 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:55.040 one spot. But this year is very different. I'm sort 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.760 of spending it alone, which is so fine. I'm actually 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.639 okay in Melbourne. A few of my friends have actually 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:04.520 imaged me to their family Christmas beautiful, so I might, 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.520 you know, last minute sort of take up to your totally. 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.520 But yeah, my family fly day to La. 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:15.720 Yeah, so I'm boxing Dome. I'm going to lay so. 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.360 You can't have a big one anyway. So maybe it's 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.880 the good year to do it. Came by yourself, take 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:19.639 your energy, you know. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.600 I need to get into the Christmas spirit.
