Speaker 1: You've got to have But when.

17
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: We first moved into this building, we had a big

18
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: injuction and you had to do the whole induction before

19
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: you're allowed to get a keeps cover.

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 5: And what happens in the story of in Fisk is, yeah,

21
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 5: you're in one of those those hubs where people go

22
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 5: in the workers hub, and so what happens to the

23
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 5: guys from h Gruber and Gruber have to go and

24
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 5: work in this hub because there's a death threat hanging

25
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 5: over them.

26
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: And you're the induction guy.

27
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: I'm the hell of I think of myself as kind

28
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: of the head of vibes here at the half.

29
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: That's fun.

30
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: You can come to me with basically anything except for

31
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: tech support.

32
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: That's Kasper's departments. Do you want to follow me, I'll.

33
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: Show you're on the space or stop stop stuff?

34
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: Sorry, am I going too fast? I always do this,

35
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: you know what it is?

36
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: I get very excited when we have a newbie. I'm

37
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 3: just really busy.

38
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: I've really got to get to work.

39
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: So if we could do all this and the vibes

40
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: and the tap stuff a bit later, that would be great.

41
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: That's your desk there, and could I get the Wi

42
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 5: Fi password?

43
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: I usually give that out during the induction right row.

44
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 4: You know what the thing with that is that like

45
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 4: for years because I'm in the very.

46
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: First thing of the very first episode of FISK, but

47
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: like years ago, because I know Kiddy pretty well.

48
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 4: Can you find that makes the sure? And like Tom

49
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: that makes it with it?

50
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: And like they were like, oh, We've written a character

51
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: for you, and then like like only yeah, about six

52
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: months ago and we filmed that. They're like, we've written

53
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: this character. They sent me the script, It's like this

54
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: is for you. We thought of you when we wrote this,

55
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: and like it's just to complete ourself like like that

56
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: that's who I am. Like like they're like, we thought

57
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: we wrote this character, and you know, you're the first

58
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: person we thought of a complete night me human being there.

59
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 4: But hey, then I got to just be myself wearing

60
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: someone else's clothes.

61
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: That's what acting now excellent with drag Race, who this

62
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: show is famous for for highlighting inclusivity and and and

63
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: helping people through some vulnerability. It's been so influential. Who

64
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: are some of the favorite characters that you've met on

65
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: the show.

66
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: It is one of those things where I mean obviously RuPaul,

67
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: but like it is one of those jobs where I

68
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 3: come into work and because we've all had these types

69
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: of jobs where like you kind of you can it's

70
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: easy to take things for granted and then every now

71
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: and then, like you know, in the next episode this week, yeah, this.

72
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: Friday, Friday, five pm only on stand.

73
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: G Flip is like and so like you get to

74
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 3: just like kind of just meet proper people and then

75
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: like see them kind of just in their natural habitats.

76
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's like, it's very.

77
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: Odd to me that I essentially do inductions with them

78
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 3: as well, where I as the judge, I get to

79
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: kind of tell them, you know, oh that's where the

80
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: bathrooms are and stuff like that, and don't you know

81
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: you can look you can look Michelle in the eye,

82
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: but like not too long because you will turn into stone.

83
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: And no, I don't know, like do you mean like

84
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: specific people but also also like.

85
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: The kinds of characters you meet as the judge, the

86
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: lives you see in front of you.

87
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, more of a deep answer. Don't like drag

88
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: In our countries Australia, New Zealand, we do a very

89
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: particular thing and it is character work, like as in

90
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: and getting to see the queens who are essentially plucked

91
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: out of sometimes out of obscurity. Like these queens they

92
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: send in their tapes and they're working in nightclubs at

93
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: like two o'clock in the morning to mostly drunk audiences,

94
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: and then suddenly they are standing on the main stage

95
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: of Rupuls drag Race or drag Race down under Good

96
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: Fix and they they are suddenly kind of chucked into

97
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: the limelight and seeing how they ill with that and

98
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: seeing like the proper artistry, like drag is an art

99
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: form unlike any other. If you have to be able

100
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: to be a performer, a theme stress, a very crafty

101
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: person like and this season particularly, there are some queens

102
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: in the show that like, you know, I don't usually

103
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: dip into the comments, but I've been having a little

104
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 3: look and people are so impressed by Australian drag.

105
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: Right now, Well we went down the path. Remember that

106
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: I was decided to.

107
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: Try to celebrate this show. A couple of years ago.

108
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: Jonesy was given a makeover and it was quite extraordinary.

109
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't just like the footy show put some makeup on.

110
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: It was My sister was outraged because she said, you

111
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: look like me.

112
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: Did you did you go the whole hog?

113
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: You did?

114
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 5: You?

115
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: Did you? Did you tack?

116
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: No?

117
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: No, no, I didn't do the tark. No.

118
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Actually I didn't even think of the tark.

119
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: No, you gotta get the tack. You gotta think of

120
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 4: the tack.

121
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Actually, that's scary. Wasn't even a thing.

122
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: No, you got it, and it's a real look.

123
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: But I was wearing a full full dress.

124
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: Okay, that's okay, that's what.

125
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: Although we did we had to come up with a name,

126
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: and this is Amanda was caught unawares on air.

127
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: I was just reading out the ideas. But what we

128
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: do need today is your drag name. We're asking for suggestions.

129
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: Yesterday Brendover, that was one that's yours. Yeah, Hailey Davidson,

130
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: karlasak me off. I just read that out without prereadio.

131
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: I saw the words and just read them. I do apologize.

132
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. It's a bike theme, Kawasaki, and so

133
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: you were known as Karlasaki.

134
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: I like that. I like that, And so what with

135
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: your yours? Was Brendover Brendover or something like that.

136
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: But you know, I was like the I always thought

137
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: mine would be Dinah Hunger. I think that's like not

138
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: a not a bad one. It's maybe a little I

139
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: don't know how much corporate work I'd get with that one.

140
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: But Dina Hunger, welcome on the stage, Dina Hunger diabetes.

141
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 4: Oh that's nice as well.

142
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: But then you're going to offend somebody with that.

143
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: You can't do anything these days with offending, bloody.

144
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: You gotta do it in induction.

145
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: You got to get your keep cup. You've gotta get

146
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: an induction.

147
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: I mean even the way the drag names go there.

148
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: I like the camp ones, like in our THESM right

149
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: now we have we have a queen called Lazy Susan

150
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: and I think that is such a and like from

151
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: Seasan one the best drag name of all time I

152
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: think is Karen from Finance, Like that's just the dumb

153
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: silly Yeah, we had Camen from Finance.

154
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 4: Is it incredible? Quite?

155
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: Like just Philly ones. But then there's ones like only

156
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: American ones. There's ones called like milk and stuff like that,

157
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: and I think we can go with I like the

158
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: camp ones. I like, you know, an Irish queen called

159
