Because that place is near and dear 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:30.960 to my heart and now it's closed. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.600 I know, and I you know what, I probably have 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.720 some memories, but I do not have access to them anymow. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.440 Yeah right, yeah, they're foggy as fun when. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:39.000 I was there. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.200 Right, Well, that's exciting. We're looking forward to drag race 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.359 down under our season two. That'll be fun. And congratulations 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:46.800 because that is such a good get and you're right, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.000 it's that role that you're feeling is like the Carson Crasley, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.520 the Ross Matthews. It's like you're just there to entertain 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.160 and you are so funny. I can only imagine that 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.319 when the girls come out on the runway and you 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.360 hit him with puns and you make jokes and do 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.400 you do they are they actually like right there in 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.960 the moment or do you like dub them? 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:04.160 No? 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.000 No, no, it's all there. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.600 And that that was quite a shock to me. Last year, 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:08.400 I thought there would be. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:09.400 A lot more production. 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.200 Yeah, evolved. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.160 I thought there might be some riders, No, none of that, 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:15.960 And that's the wild thing as well. And I feel 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.600 like I'm just sucking up to my bosses now, but 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.280 like ruined Michelle, leave me in the dust with that shit. 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.480 Like so like the system and I feel like I 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.160 can probably say this. The system is the girls do 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.800 one walk around and then we watch that to music, 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.360 and I guess we try and think of a little 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.200 thing and literally straight away, like once the last girl 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.560 walks off the runway, the first one walks on again 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.520 and they do that to silence, and that's when we 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.760 do our puns and kind of the last third of 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.720 an episode is pretty much in real time. Wow, there's 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.400 a bit of standing around, but it's all boom boom boom. 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.079 There's not like we don't go back to our dressing 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.760 rooms constantly. We don't like it's all happens. The girls 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.920 are told they're in the bottom and then they lip sync. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.199 Once you're on the desk, you're stuck there for a bit. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.640 You're staying how much of. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.800 What you say actually makes the final cut? Because I 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.120 if I was on a show like that, I'd be 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.680 watching it back going ah, they bloody edged out that 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.079 funny thing I said. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.480 See luckily for me, very little of what I said. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.600 There are so many things that you just blurt out 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.080 that you're like, oh oh yeah, that's not and also 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.760 just bad part like just silly. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:20.959 I mean, but the ones that did. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.240 The one that sticks out to me from SO one 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.800 my first episode last year, I was so nervous and 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.920 like there was just no not prep but like you're 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.400 just kind of thrown in and you would be yeah, yeah, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.280 And there's a line that I just blurted out that 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.800 was like, well I do like balls slapping on my arm. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.640 I remember, Yeah, that one definitely made the caunt And 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:42.079 it's like. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.520 I don't even remember saying that, and like, but it 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.040 was there. It was there. I think it's just so. 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:50.679 Like you just say what you're thinking and then they 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.000 just cut around. I don't know, I feel like that 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.960 was really boring answer, but it is. I'm glad that 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.280 they don't put in a lot of the stuff. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.079 Well, you're in the what is it called the Rue 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.320 Cinematic Universe, the RuPaul Child Year, you know, I'm just 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.000 calling it that now, you're the can't wait for the 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:06.680 respin Off. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.240 Yeah. If ever, like VH one makes some like poorly 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.920 produced documentary in like twenty years about it can be 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.679 like one of the most available people to do a 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.240 talking bit. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.920 Yeah, well he hasn't spoken to me in ten years. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.200 But let me tell you a story about a fish 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.280 and chip restaurant. You've told us many times. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.680 You guys kind of have a similar origin story rates 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.040 because you now work at the radio station on air, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.679 but you started as a street teamer. Yeah, and didn't 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.720 you start working in the box office race? 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:38.280 Is that right? 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.040 Yes? I did look at you doing your researches. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.640 I used to work at the n More Theater in 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.400 the box office for years and that it got to 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.720 the point where people would come in to buy tickets 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.880 to my show No, and that got to be embarrassing, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.080 so I quick my job there. But it is tell 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.160 you what, if you've ever worked in ticketing, there's no 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.679 quicker way to find out that most people in the 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.800 world are idiots ticketing. The amount of calls that we 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.680 will get every day that were just the most dumb 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.000 questions of people, like you know what a ticket It 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.680 just says like plus BF, which is booking fee. People 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.920 would call in I reckon twice a week and ask 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.760 if that meant breakfast was included if they could bring 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.839 their boyfriend or if they could bring best friend best friend. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.559 It takes a certain type of person to really hone 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.360 in on the fine print of a ticket, like I'm 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.280 just like what Dora am I at? As I arrive, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.079 I don't read the BF. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.000 People are so dumb. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.040 People are so dumb and like and I and I 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.760 hated that jet like I did it for long.

I don't know what I mean. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.920 We've had gay marriage for a while now, but no 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.680 one has explained to me what the system is yeah, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.920 like who is it tops and bottoms thing?

That'd be great, speaking of moon. Actually, 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.280 very quickly, I think I interviewed you on the first 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:52.800 season of Drag Graceries. I don't know if I brought 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.520 this up. He can't recall I was there now. He's like, no, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.280 I've met you before. I was there when you did 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.720 your set at Conan, and it was so cool to 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.240 have an Aussie there, and it was just like I 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.079 just loved it, and like the connected you Conan. He 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:06.880 clearly adores you, and you look just like him and 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.240 all that bit. But like seeing an Aussie there and 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.480 you killed it. You were so good? 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.160 Was wait were you?
