Speaker 1: This podcast is being recorded and produced on gadiicol Land.
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this
Speaker 2: country and elders past present.
Speaker 1: We extend our respect to any First Nations Aboriginal and
Speaker 1: Torres Strait Islander people joining.
Speaker 2: Us today, always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
Speaker 1: We're skipping the intro today and just cutting straight the
Speaker 1: fucking Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have a close brand I because we've got a
Speaker 2: lot to talk about it and in these episodes What
Speaker 2: meant to be on Nova likes them to be ten minutes,
Speaker 2: but we talk.
Speaker 1: We stretch around you like.
Speaker 2: Twenty minute one. Sorry Hannah. Anyway, I was saying last
Speaker 2: week that I was going to see sis Rack, and
Speaker 2: I went and saw it, and I thought i'd give
Speaker 2: you all an update on that because I had a
Speaker 2: terrible fucking time. Oh now I'll get there. I'll get there.
Speaker 2: First of all, I put it on my story a
Speaker 2: lot of people asking for a review. Look, not my favorite,
Speaker 2: but not the worst camp fun may I don't know it,
Speaker 2: just like I kind of felt it was one of
Speaker 2: those musicals where I went, did we need this? Did
Speaker 2: we need this to happen?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: I we will say the cast, the production, all the
Speaker 2: rest of it. Nothing against them. The cast was fabulous,
Speaker 2: everyone hit every note. It was gorgeous, but like just
Speaker 2: the actual storyline, I was like, did this need to
Speaker 2: be a musical? I just went because I went and
Speaker 2: saw Cruel Intentions, you know, like the nineteen nineties movie
Speaker 2: Cruel Intentions. They made that a musical and I went
Speaker 2: and it was like a jukebox musical, so they just
Speaker 2: had like pop songs to tell the story yep, And
Speaker 2: I went like, fabulous job everyone, but fuck, we didn't
Speaker 2: need this, you know. I didn't need to come and
Speaker 2: see it anyway. So it was a bit the same
Speaker 2: with Sister Act. I went, well, this is fun, but
Speaker 2: I would never see it again. I was disappointed because
Speaker 2: Casey Donovan wasn't even on, which was the whole reason
Speaker 2: I went and saw the show. I don't even think
Speaker 2: I've ever watched the Sister Act musical, but I went
Speaker 2: for Casey Donovan because I love her. She unfortunately had
Speaker 2: COVID end influenza RAE, so rest up girlfriend, but she
Speaker 2: wasn't on. Now the girl who was her un study
Speaker 2: absolutely fabulous, what a star, and I actually was like
Speaker 2: this role was born. She was born to play that role.
Speaker 2: She did, like such a good job. I felt the
Speaker 2: audience was very awkward. The show itself pokes a lot
Speaker 2: of fun at Christianity and you know, Catholics and things
Speaker 2: like that, and I said that in last week's episode
Speaker 2: that I knew that was going on because they'd gotten
Speaker 2: some complaints. The audience just wasn't on board with how
Speaker 2: much of a mockery the I guess production makes of religion.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't people know that before going?
Speaker 2: Did you research?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So that was like it was almost uncomfortable to being
Speaker 2: an audience member because I was like trying not to
Speaker 2: piss myself, but all the you know people around me
Speaker 2: were like ooh ah, you know, like they weren't there
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: I wish I lived in Sydney so I could come
Speaker 1: nd you every time I see you going to a
Speaker 1: musical on your story, I'm like, damn it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But look, I was just like it was good.
Speaker 2: It was a nice night out with my friends. You know,
Speaker 2: we got cheap tickets because you know, I know someone
Speaker 2: who knows someone's We've got a bit of a discount
Speaker 2: on them. And that was nice. It was lovely. But
Speaker 2: I wouldn't see it again, and I don't think it's
Speaker 2: a must see to be honest, but good job to
Speaker 2: them love it. I'd probably give it three out of
Speaker 2: five stars if I had to give it a rating.
Speaker 2: And maybe it was the environment, the people in the audience.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was the fact Casey Donovan wasn't on stage
Speaker 2: that made me like not have as good an experience.
Speaker 2: But there was something that happened that actually made me
Speaker 2: have the worst theater experience of my life. First of all,
Speaker 2: since COVID, I feel like theater etiquette in general has
Speaker 2: gone way downhill. Like people aren't turning their phones off.
Speaker 2: People's phones are ringing, people are coughing, crinkling chip packets
Speaker 2: and crinkling, getting up and going to the toilet every
Speaker 2: two minutes, Like people are always like you know, in
Speaker 2: a theater show. It's just kind of like I get
Speaker 2: that some people need to use the bathroom. I get it,
Speaker 2: but like the amount of people who get up or
Speaker 2: got up like five ten years ago, I feel like
Speaker 2: maybe one or two people because you know, they can't
Speaker 2: control their bladder and they've got to go fair enough.
Speaker 2: I feel like people just get bored and go for
Speaker 2: a fucking one to have a vape out the front.
Speaker 2: Just sit on their phone in the foyard. I don't know
Speaker 2: what they're doing. Actually, people sit on their phone in
Speaker 2: the show, like you can see the phone like lighting
Speaker 2: up their face.
Speaker 1: They get in trouble like with their phones.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's similar to all the custom service
Speaker 2: we hear from everyone who works in customer service. Why
Speaker 2: bother us telling someone to put their phone away or
Speaker 2: be quiet or stop talking? Ohlahlahlah, because you just like
Speaker 2: don't want the haspen.
Speaker 1: So I can't stand like I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: people are the same. Even when I'm like working in
Speaker 1: our office. I can't deal with like the typing and
Speaker 1: hearing people sniff and cough like it drives me up.
Speaker 1: Either got to put headphones on or like go downstairs
Speaker 1: because I can't deal with the noises and I feel
Speaker 1: the saophonia.
Speaker 2: Is that what it is? Yeah, you got misophonia.
Speaker 1: Whenever I'm at the movies or if I go to
Speaker 1: see a musical, like the distant coughing and like sniffing
Speaker 1: like makes me want to leave, Like I can't deal
Speaker 1: with those noises.
Speaker 2: Yeah I can't. Here. So I actually heard someone in
Speaker 2: front of me, who was doing worse than crinkling, coughing,
Speaker 2: getting up and going to the toilet. She was just
Speaker 2: flat out talking, talking like she was at home on
Speaker 2: the lounge, chatting to the lady next to her. She
Speaker 2: was in a group of four, and then she was
Speaker 2: sitting next to a man who wasn't with her, and
Speaker 2: she was just to her would be well. She was
Speaker 2: just talking to him and he's trying to like, you know,
Speaker 2: give her h yeah, yeah, no worries. And she's talking
Speaker 2: to him. She's talking to her sister next to her.
Speaker 2: There's two other ladies that she's with her on the shoulder,
Speaker 2: I'll get their honey, and she's leaning forward saying to
Speaker 2: the other ladies like, you know, I don't don't even
Speaker 2: know what she was saying, but she was actually just
Speaker 2: talking it like not even a whisper. It was loud,
Speaker 2: and I went sh and then I went sh and
Speaker 2: she still didn't hear me. So I tapped her on
Speaker 2: the shoulder, tapped her on the shoulder three times and
Speaker 2: said and she turns around she goes, are you fucking serious?
Speaker 2: Fuck you? And I was like whow. So now everyone's
Speaker 2: like look and she keeps turning around and going, eh,
Speaker 2: dare you haw, dear hew, dare you the whole rest
Speaker 2: of the time, and then I went, I just kept going.
Speaker 2: I said, be quiet, you're disrespectful. And then she turns around.
Speaker 2: She's huffing and puffing, and then it's almost the intermission.
Speaker 2: I would and also everyone around her for the last
Speaker 2: twenty minutes has been turning around and looking and shaking
Speaker 2: their heads and like everyone knows this is going on.
Speaker 2: First of all, if someone says sh to someone, back
Speaker 2: them the fuck up. Yeah, because no one else jumped in,
Speaker 2: I've gone. I was like, Okay, I was getting so
Speaker 2: frustrated for twenty minutes. I was like, I've got to
Speaker 2: say something. I finally said something, and I thought, right,
Speaker 2: I've I've burst the bullet here. Everyone else is going
Speaker 2: to eat everyone else is going to jump in now
Speaker 2: that I've said something. No one did. So then at
Speaker 2: intermission the lights come on, she stands up and she
Speaker 2: turns around. She starts yelling at me, and she at
Speaker 2: first like, I don't even know what she was saying,
Speaker 2: because I knew this was given her reaction, and I
Speaker 2: knew something was coming, so I was prepared. I was
Speaker 2: ready to go, and I was calling her, ash, go
Speaker 2: get fucked to your stupid blah blah blahah yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: because she was yelling at me too, and I said,
Speaker 2: you're so disrespectful, you're you're just because she was going,
Speaker 2: you're you you assaulted me blah blahlah. I've tapped her
Speaker 2: on the shoulder, grow up, you're stupid. Anyway, The point
Speaker 2: is she's going at me's going, you need to go
Speaker 2: back into your little hole that you wherever you came from,
Speaker 2: because the world's not like what you think it is.
Speaker 2: And I'm going, I literally asked you to be quiet
Speaker 2: because you're so disrespectful. And she goes, how am I disrespectful?
Speaker 2: I said to me, everyone around you, the performers on stage, everyone,
Speaker 2: Skyla who never says anything. He's going at her as well,
Speaker 2: like it was a whole on her. So we did
Speaker 2: and let me tell the story. We'll get there anyway,
Speaker 2: try to be logical like going on it. I'm going,
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not going to be made to feel
Speaker 2: bad because you are a disgusting, disrespectful human being. Everyone's
Speaker 2: looking like I'm like, I can't just like back down now.
Speaker 2: She goes she goes I actually asked everyone around me
Speaker 2: whether I was talking too loud, and they all told
Speaker 2: me I was talking very quietly. I said, you shouldn't
Speaker 2: be talking at all, you know, like I'm just not
Speaker 2: holding back. Everyone's looking. I'm like, you are a disgrace, disgusting.
Speaker 2: You can get out, go go outside, blah blah blah. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying whatever I can to disuffuse the situation.
Speaker 2: I wasn't actually yelling that loud, by the way, Yeah
Speaker 2: I should say I wasn't yelling that loud, but I
Speaker 2: wish I could have. But I was just going, you
Speaker 2: are not gonna make me feel bad. I said to her,
Speaker 2: You're not gonna make me feel bad. You are the
Speaker 2: wrong person in this situation. I can't believe you are
Speaker 2: accusing me of being rude when you are talking throughout
Speaker 2: a performance and again during a big number like where
Speaker 2: we can't hear what you're saying. I'm not kidding. It
Speaker 2: was quiet, vulnerable scenes where there's nothing happening except two
Speaker 2: people talking, and she's talking, and she's just talking about
Speaker 2: god knows what. Anyway, she goes out to intimate. She
Speaker 2: comes back with a glass of red wine that is
Speaker 2: filled to the fucking brieman. I am sitting in a
Speaker 2: white jumper, and I thought that's not a good sign.
Speaker 2: I thought I can't provoke her anyway. When she came
Speaker 2: and sat back down, she actually didn't sit in front
Speaker 2: of me. She sat in one of her friend's seats,
Speaker 2: so she was actually like three or four seats down now,
Speaker 2: so she wasn't in front of me. Then, what's actually
Speaker 2: worse than her is her friend who she was sitting
Speaker 2: next to.
Speaker 1: Who the fuck are these people?
Speaker 2: Right in the second in the second half, then they
Speaker 2: both were talking to each other and loudly and pointing
Speaker 2: and oh my god, like being loud on purpose. And
Speaker 2: she's saying things like, I hate bitchy men. Don't you
Speaker 2: just hate men who are bitches? Looking at me?
Speaker 1: How old about people?
Speaker 2: How fucking fifty or something, I don't care what. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter how old you are. You could be grow twelve.
Speaker 2: And if you're talking, I'm going to tell you to
Speaker 2: be quiet, please. So she's going on and on. She's
Speaker 2: got a red wine. Oh my god, I'm going if
Speaker 2: I say anything, that's going all over me. But surely
Speaker 2: someone else will say something again. The whole time, I
Speaker 2: can still hear her. Everyone's shaking their heads around her. Everyone.
Speaker 2: The usher comes down and tells her she needs to
Speaker 2: be quiet. She doesn't be quiet. She then drinks so
Speaker 2: much red one she passes out during like the third
Speaker 2: last song, and she's asleep on the lap of the
Speaker 2: person next to her. The usher comes down and is
Speaker 2: like RSA vibes like she's got to go, and so
Speaker 2: the other person wakes her up, and then she's still
Speaker 2: gonna around like and then another person finally went, and
Speaker 2: she turned around and goes, oh, back at you. I
Speaker 2: was like, I am fucking appalled at your behavior. You
Speaker 2: are literally scum of the earth, Like what is going on?
Speaker 2: And then yeah, she fell asleep at the end anyway,
Speaker 2: for the last few songs. But my thing is what's
Speaker 2: worse than her behavior is actually the friend she was
Speaker 2: with enabling that behavior.
Speaker 1: If I went to anywhere with you and you were
Speaker 1: acting that way, I would say, what the are you
Speaker 1: doing it? Right? You would pull your friend up and
Speaker 1: right be quiet or go outside.
Speaker 2: I was appalled at the fact that fair enough she's talking,
Speaker 2: she's a loser, but like for the friend to be
Speaker 2: encouraging her and they were pretending they were going to
Speaker 2: elbow me in the face and all the rest of
Speaker 2: this hell and like, oh, just a darrow disgusting Like
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, seriously, I mean and I
Speaker 2: and you know what I said, like not to them,
Speaker 2: but I thought to myself, bring it on, Babs, like
Speaker 2: you elbow me in the face, You're going to jale
Speaker 2: Like come on, you know what I mean, I am
Speaker 2: suing you to the end of the earth because I'm
Speaker 2: looking at your jewelry and your rmez bag and I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: surely you got some money. I'll see you damages. This
Speaker 2: is my face, it's my moneymaker, you know.
Speaker 1: Very true.
Speaker 2: So I was quietly hoping there would be a little
Speaker 2: assaulting there for me and I could get a payday.
Speaker 2: But no, nothing of the thought. Damn anyway, it left
Speaker 2: such a sour taste in my mouth. This is a
Speaker 2: message to the scrollers, who I'm sure who all are
Speaker 2: absolutely great and have theater etiquette. Turn your phones off off,
Speaker 2: not on silent, because I went to one a few
Speaker 2: weeks ago where it kept the phone kept buzzing in
Speaker 2: the seat behind me and the group chat was going off,
Speaker 2: so the phone was on silent, but all I could
Speaker 2: hear every two seconds was I'm like, can you not
Speaker 2: just respect everyone around you and turn it off? The
Speaker 2: only time I turned my phone off is in the theater.
Speaker 2: I don't think I turned my phone off at any
Speaker 2: other time, but in.
Speaker 1: The theater, people go like, why go to something like that.
Speaker 2: A'm not scared that like do not disturb won't work
Speaker 2: and you'll it'll ring.
Speaker 1: Just turn your phone off and enjoy it or get
Speaker 1: the fuck out anyway.
Speaker 2: I feel really good that I've got that off my chest. Now,
Speaker 2: what would you like to say? Because I've had my rent,
Speaker 2: I feel that was a therapy session for me. Thank
Speaker 2: you for listening. Everyone.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna like because that seems so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I thought, towards the end, you're gonna say, I've just
Speaker 1: made this up for the sake of the poet.
Speaker 2: Nah, Like was that ridiculous? Nah? Someone asked me if
Speaker 2: my knife story from last week's episode was made up.
Speaker 2: I said, no, I don't think I've ever I've never
Speaker 2: made up a story on high scholers. I know, with
Speaker 2: like my comedy shows, it's like you know you you've
Speaker 2: got the truth, and then you're added a bit of
Speaker 2: GST and then you know you've got the story and
Speaker 2: a punchline. But with high schoolers, no, everything we say
Speaker 2: here is one hundred percent true. So yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 2: And obviously I throw in some theatrics, like I was yelling.
Speaker 2: I wasn't yelling in the theater, but I was saying,
Speaker 2: oh you're oh, you're disgusting ill yack, Yeah, get away,
Speaker 2: you're stupid. Been there.
Speaker 1: I would have chimed in with you.
Speaker 2: Well, so it was so nice that Skylark.
Speaker 1: I would have videoed well, I you know, I consider.
Speaker 2: Doing all of that and saying does anyone know who
Speaker 2: this woman is on my story media and going disgusting?
Speaker 2: I just think you're disgusting. That's how I feel about
Speaker 2: people like that, just the lack of respect for other
Speaker 2: human beings boring. Anyway, that's off my chest. I feel great.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: What would you like to say?
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of silence and being quiet, well, it's not real.
Speaker 1: Literally have much to say. Like the other night, I
Speaker 1: was out with a bunch of friends and AJ and
Speaker 1: we just walked past this random little bar in Newcastle
Speaker 1: and they had a little chalkboard out the front and
Speaker 1: says silent disco tonight.
Speaker 2: And did you go Yeah?
Speaker 1: And it was so fun. So yeah, like I think
Speaker 1: we need to bring back silent discos more.
Speaker 2: So, what is the benefit of a silent disco, because
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been. First of all, is
Speaker 2: there only one channel?
Speaker 1: No, so there's four or like depending where you go.
Speaker 1: And it was free, like you just walked in. They
Speaker 1: handed us all as a set of headphones. My only
Speaker 1: first thought was how feral is this? Like these headphones
Speaker 1: are being worn? Who knows how many times you literally
Speaker 1: put the headphones on, so it's absolutely dead silent in
Speaker 1: the bar and on the dance floor it's dead silent.
Speaker 1: You put the headphones on and there's a little channel
Speaker 1: flicker on the side and then each channel, like the
Speaker 1: headphones will change color. So then we just put them
Speaker 1: all on and it's just fucking hilarious because you'd go
Speaker 1: on the dance floor and you're having the best time
Speaker 1: and you like take the headphones off and it's just
Speaker 1: like you can hear people's feet, like people laughing or
Speaker 1: like singing really bad. But it was actually so fucking fun.
Speaker 1: It's like the most random thing ever. We had no idea.
Speaker 1: It was on for any of you that are in Newcastle.
Speaker 1: It's at the Rogue Scholar Bar, which is this random
Speaker 1: little bar in town. And I can't remember exactly, but
Speaker 1: I think the guy said to me that they do
Speaker 1: them once a month, so look it up if you
Speaker 1: want to have like a fun activity to do with
Speaker 1: your friends. And it's right next door to Jam's karaoke bar,
Speaker 1: so you could do like a karaoke night and silent
Speaker 1: disco night. But it was just the most fun ever.
Speaker 1: And then like you'd put on one channel and it'd
Speaker 1: be a really good song and then you'd be like
Speaker 1: to all your friends, come on, go on this one.
Speaker 1: Then you'll be on the same or you'd like vibe
Speaker 1: with someone across the room who's also listening to.
Speaker 2: The same one, Like oh yeah, fun.
Speaker 1: I loved it, Like it's so fucking fun, but like
Speaker 1: how do you talk? Don't? Yeah, you take the headphone
Speaker 1: off and the nude yelling, but it's not even very
Speaker 1: loud in there. I've got some videos on my front
Speaker 1: I'll have to show you. Okay, it's just it's fucking creamy,
Speaker 1: but like so fun, and I say, bring back more
Speaker 1: silent discos.
Speaker 2: All right, let's do a high school of silent disco. Yes, surely,
Speaker 2: stuff the live shows. We're doing a silent disco. You
Speaker 2: can all come. You can have Brittany and Money on
Speaker 2: one channel, you can have me on another channel.
Speaker 1: It was so good, It was so random. But yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you need to go there because then you can't
Speaker 1: be interrupted by anyone.
Speaker 2: Sounds like heaven to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just put on the headphones and have a
Speaker 1: good time.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what else to say. After I
Speaker 2: got that off my chest.
Speaker 1: That was a good therapy.
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, what happens in close friends days in close friends? Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't need that getting back to her, she might
Speaker 2: sue me for defamation. I'll bring it on though. I
Speaker 2: wish you'd videoed it, so do I. Anyway, sit you
Speaker 2: next Tuesday. We got to say that, ye es, I forgot.
Speaker 2: That was our little outr. See you next Tuesday.
