Speaker 1: Hello, it's Artsimone and I have been searching far and
Speaker 1: wide to find people with interesting jobs, we'd hobbies, and
Speaker 1: some very naughty secrets. They may seem a little bland
Speaker 1: and boring to begin with, but don't let that fool you.
Speaker 1: They are concealing something scandalous, interesting, or a bit weird
Speaker 1: from both of us. Yeah, that's right, I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. We're going to find that bit out together.
Speaker 1: Let's meet our weird and wonderful guest action.

Speaker 3: care of my son who has Down syndrome and autism.
Speaker 3: I love to shop, play tennis, and travel. One of
Speaker 3: my favorite places to travel is Japan, and I'm currently
Speaker 3: learning Japanese. I'm concealing something about me that has allowed
Speaker 3: me to have my fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: I've been on TV shows, in magazines and newspaper and
Speaker 3: it has even given me the opportunity to travel the world.
Speaker 1: Hello, Lisa, how are you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing really well? Thank you? Okay, lovely to meet you.
Speaker 1: This is the first time we've ever met that. I
Speaker 1: know you're looking very fresh face today. Is that a
Speaker 1: nice floral purple blouse you have on there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm matching you.
Speaker 1: I know. It's like it's like we got it. You
Speaker 1: must have got the telepathic messages I was sending through
Speaker 1: as you were getting dressed today. Pick the purple, Pick
Speaker 1: the purple. All right. So you've got some kids. You
Speaker 1: like to travel. What's your most favorite place? You've traveled too?
Speaker 2: Japan? And I also like to go to the USA.
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I love the US as well. Where have you gone?
Speaker 1: Where's your favorite spot in the US?
Speaker 2: San Francisco?
Speaker 1: Oh, I've never been to Sandford. What do I have
Speaker 1: to go see there? If you were my tour guide
Speaker 1: in San fran what would I need to go and see?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: The Golden Gate Bridge. You can't miss that one.
Speaker 1: Oh the bridge. Yes, I did watch a very sad
Speaker 1: documentary about that one. But that's for another time, okay.
Speaker 1: And so you like to go shopping. What's your favorite
Speaker 1: thing to purchase? You know, I want to know what
Speaker 1: tickles you pickle?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that one.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: You like to go close shopping, makeup shopping?
Speaker 3: No, not really, I don't like to buy clothes or shoes.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're more of a window shopper. You just like
Speaker 1: the experience.
Speaker 2: No, I'd like to buy stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I won't. I'm not going to push
Speaker 1: into that anymore. I will leave that for a second. Tennis.
Speaker 1: You said you like tennis. Favorite tennis player.
Speaker 3: Oh, dear, I don't really watch that much tennis, but
Speaker 3: I play a lot of tennis.
Speaker 1: I love you like to play tennis. Okay, Okay, I
Speaker 1: thought I just caught you up on a fib then
Speaker 1: I love Jenni's what I didn't actually know anything about it.
Speaker 1: This sounds like me on a first date when I'm
Speaker 1: trying to impress the person I'm with, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm really into sport. I go to the gym twelve
Speaker 1: times the week. I into clean eating as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: raw vegetables, That's what I'm into. Okay. Now I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask you three questions, okay, and from the answer
Speaker 1: to those three questions, I need to decide what it
Speaker 1: is you're concealing from me. Okay, Now, you give me
Speaker 1: a little hint. You've had your fifteen minutes of fame
Speaker 1: thanks to this, and I don't know that could be
Speaker 1: anything you could have. Maybe you were on Australia and
Speaker 1: ID or I don't know. Okay. But the first question
Speaker 1: I have is what is your go to snack?
Speaker 2: I like nuts, nuts.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite nut?
Speaker 2: Peanuts?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I know, peanut, that's nuts. Actually I'm delicious.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping you don't have an allergy.
Speaker 2: No, I don't have analogy.
Speaker 1: Okay, that would be some kind of evil torture to yourself.
Speaker 1: You're like, I love nuts, I just can't eat them.
Speaker 1: That's just me on some days. But question number two
Speaker 1: what have you is what is the best gift you
Speaker 1: have ever received?
Speaker 3: When I was young, I received a trinket and I
Speaker 3: treasured that trinket. I also received a engagement gift and
Speaker 3: I always treasure that as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, you've received a trinket and you'll love it, okay,
Speaker 1: And you've got an engagement gift and you love it.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Question number three, I'm trying to put it together. If
Speaker 1: I had a magic wand and was going to turn
Speaker 1: you into an animal for one day, what animal would
Speaker 1: you choose?
Speaker 2: I say, a dog?
Speaker 1: A dog? Okay, well, let's recap Lisa. All right, a
Speaker 1: dog do you have a dog yourself.
Speaker 2: No, I have no dog.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm a bit scared of dogs, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel like you're good.
Speaker 1: Okay, good. So I'm in a safe company because I'm
Speaker 1: a cat person normally. And it's only because I can
Speaker 1: look at a cat and I know if it likes me,
Speaker 1: he doesn't like me. I see a dog. I can't
Speaker 1: read them, can't. You'll be wagging the tail next moment,
Speaker 1: chewing your leg off. Who knows? Who knows? Sorry for
Speaker 1: all the dog lovers, okay, means there's more dogs for you,
Speaker 1: and I'm one of them. Woof. Okay, let's recap for you, Lisa.
Speaker 1: All right, you got mother, Your mother got kids?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Like to travel, love the US, San fran Japan. All right?
Speaker 1: You love peanuts?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love peanuts.
Speaker 1: Your favorite gift is a trinket you once received. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but you love it. And
Speaker 1: if you could be an animal for a day, you
Speaker 1: would be a dog, even though you're slightly scared of dogs.
Speaker 1: So correct of conflicting stories here. And you also love tennis,
Speaker 1: but don't watch it. Okay, okay, so you got it right.
Speaker 2: You're just startling for time.
Speaker 1: It's just staring right in front of me. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: jounding out. Yeah, I'm just really trying here. Okay, peanuts, nuts,
Speaker 1: you love nuts, dog trinkets. Okay, this is here's where
Speaker 1: I'm going. All right, So we got, We've got. There's
Speaker 1: lots of little things here, dogs, a little in my head, trinkets,
Speaker 1: a little little gifts, a little peanuts. They're little. Maybe
Speaker 1: you are a collector of tiny things. What do you think?
Speaker 1: Are you a tiny thing collector?
Speaker 2: No, and you're not far off.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I have the largest Snoopy collection in Australia. I have
Speaker 3: been collecting since I was eight years old, and I
Speaker 3: have seventeen thousand, seven hundred and thirty one Snoopy items
Speaker 3: at the moment, and continuing, my goal is to reach
Speaker 3: twenty thousand and more. I was actually pretty close, Yes
Speaker 3: you were, Ah, how done?
Speaker 1: See if you had pressuring me like that, We've just
Speaker 1: cut to another angle at the studio and Snoopy is
Speaker 1: actually joining us on the other microphone.
Speaker 4: And that's no, I was so close.
Speaker 1: Lisa doesn't collect t anything. She actually has Australia's largest
Speaker 1: Snoopy collection. I do not know how I didn't sniff
Speaker 1: this one out. I'm the biggest bitch in town. Okay, Lisa,
Speaker 1: we have found out that no, you do not just
Speaker 1: collect tiny things. I was close, but you actually have
Speaker 1: Australia's largest Snoopy collection. Is this true?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. How did this start? Is this where
Speaker 1: the trinket comes from? You once got one little Snoopy
Speaker 1: and you said, you know what, pretty cool? Give me
Speaker 1: another one?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Like that. I used to read the comic strips in
Speaker 3: the Sunday newspaper. I received a Snoopy trinket when I
Speaker 3: was in school from a school friend. Unfortunately I've lost
Speaker 3: that trinket after all this time. But I have a
Speaker 3: similar trinket and really means the world to me because
Speaker 3: it's sentimental value. And when I was thirteen years old,
Speaker 3: I traveled to Hong Kong and that's when I got
Speaker 3: my first plush Snoopy. I didn't have much money when
Speaker 3: I was a kid, but when I started working at
Speaker 3: seventeen eighteen years old, I went to Japan and I
Speaker 3: started buying all sorts of Snoopy items and I've continued
Speaker 3: since then.
Speaker 1: You don't know this about me, lost of all love
Speaker 1: a collectible. I'm probably not as intense as you are,
Speaker 1: but I have these things called living dead dolls because
Speaker 1: I'm uky spooky and my whole office is filled with
Speaker 1: all these like creepy little dolls, and I swear I've
Speaker 1: got hundreds of them and they just stare at me.
Speaker 1: But they're locked away in the room stuff. I have
Speaker 1: guests over it. They don't have to get scared by them.
Speaker 1: But I just know how much space those take up
Speaker 1: in my house. Does that mean wherever you look the
Speaker 1: snoopies at your house?
Speaker 3: Well, I kept it in one room and then expanded
Speaker 3: to two rooms and then expanded to three and four
Speaker 3: in the hallway. And I'm waiting for the kids to
Speaker 3: move out of home so I can make more room.
Speaker 2: Well, my snoopy collection.
Speaker 1: As a super collection, made its way outside of your house, like,
Speaker 1: so people walking out would be like, oh, there's where
Speaker 1: the stupid lady lives.
Speaker 2: There's a snoopy on my house. We're on top of
Speaker 2: the garage.
Speaker 1: Is they counted in the database?
Speaker 3: It's a picture and he's holding a Christmas docking So
Speaker 3: I don't have to put up any Christmas decorations because
Speaker 3: it's always there.
Speaker 1: It's Christmas twenty four seven and Snoopy.
Speaker 3: Tail And I have a Snoopy letterbox that my father.
Speaker 2: Made for me.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 3: So anytime I get mail, it's through a Snoopy letterbox,
Speaker 3: which is Snoopy lying on top of a doghouse on
Speaker 3: his dog.
Speaker 1: Iconic. Iconic.
Speaker 3: And I drive around in a Snoopy car with Snoopy
Speaker 3: playing tennis on one side and Snoopy with.
Speaker 2: A love heart on the other side.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's Lisa again, Yes, rolling by, Oh tennis
Speaker 1: playing Snoopy. Yes, but I look, A lot of people
Speaker 1: are often quick to judge. But I am in the
Speaker 1: same boat with you, as do you. Like I find
Speaker 1: possessions and things like comforting. I love them. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm very sentimental with them. I can tell you exactly
Speaker 1: where I got something, what it meant to me in
Speaker 1: that moment, you know where I was in life at
Speaker 1: that moment, because I'd have to say for these things,
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, it was always a mission
Speaker 1: to get one of these, you know, exciting important items
Speaker 1: to my collection. So I totally get it. There been
Speaker 1: moments where you brought people over and you go, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: so I didn't tell you about the snoopies, but yeah,
Speaker 1: here they are.
Speaker 3: I actually don't tell a lot of people, and I
Speaker 3: let them come over and I want to see their
Speaker 3: reaction when I open the door.
Speaker 1: You go punked, You're paint ah. I could say, I'm
Speaker 1: jealous of you, Lisa, because you know you got your family.
Speaker 1: But I'm a single girl and trying to caught a man.
Speaker 1: When there's a bunch of dead dolls staring at them,
Speaker 1: it's very difficult for me. So that's why they are
Speaker 1: in a separate room. But I remember when I was
Speaker 1: younger and I couldn't afford to have like a big
Speaker 1: enough house, that they were in the bedroom overlooking the bed,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it didn't really help with many situations in
Speaker 1: my life. It was like, well, you may be looking
Speaker 1: at these dead dolls, but if you go to the
Speaker 1: room next door, it's filled with wigs and sequence, which
Speaker 1: one do you want? Babe? Like Cana Montana said, you
Speaker 1: get the best of both worlds. So that seventeen thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty one snoopy items is the number
Speaker 1: I have sitting in front of me. How do you
Speaker 1: count that many?
Speaker 4: Do you have?
Speaker 1: You just got a tally and you're like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's add that to the tally, or do you have
Speaker 1: a catalog, because that's like me with all the things
Speaker 1: in my drag wardrobe. I could never tell you how
Speaker 1: many things I have in there, but I wish I
Speaker 1: did so I could say I actually have ten three
Speaker 1: hundred and forty two drag costumes, but I don't. So
Speaker 1: how do you How do you get the time to
Speaker 1: count your seventeen thousand, six hundred and thirty one steepy items.
Speaker 2: I have a database where I can loog everything.
Speaker 1: I love this, No, I love it when it gets technical.
Speaker 1: Tell me about your database. I want to know.
Speaker 3: It has when I acquired the item, how much it costs,
Speaker 3: with the different values, like you know, different currency, who
Speaker 3: gave it to me, which shop I purchased it, what
Speaker 3: brand it is? Where does it belong in the house?
Speaker 1: This is your legacy. You're right, You're like, it's with
Speaker 1: your will. You're like, all right, if I go, remember,
Speaker 1: here is the Bible. Here is the database of everything
Speaker 1: NYPE related. If you need to know anything.
Speaker 3: And maybe in the future it may be worth a
Speaker 3: lot more than what I purchased it for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you do? You often go and look
Speaker 1: at eBay listings or auctions and things to see where
Speaker 1: like the value of certain items are sitting or I
Speaker 1: don't know how you can do that in all of
Speaker 1: them that that's a lot.
Speaker 3: I don't really work out the value or interested in
Speaker 3: the value because it has a sentimental value more than
Speaker 3: anything to me. So I think my daughter will probably
Speaker 3: want to know how much everything is so she can
Speaker 3: make a profit.
Speaker 1: This is like I remember like when everyone had beanie
Speaker 1: kids as a kid, and they're like, it's going to
Speaker 1: be worth millions one day, but then there was just
Speaker 1: how many beaniee is that Everyone's like, nah, not really
Speaker 1: that much, even with the tag protector on doll But
Speaker 1: have you actually put an estimate on like what you've
Speaker 1: spent on all of these over the years, Not what
Speaker 1: that's worth now, but like what you have outlaid? Is
Speaker 1: it one of those things where it's like, oh, maybe
Speaker 1: we won't let's not work that out.
Speaker 3: Let's I'm sure my husband doesn't want to work it out.
Speaker 1: Oh that's like me when I go to the accountant
Speaker 1: and I look at everything that I've spent on drag
Speaker 1: costumes and everything for the year. I actually never opened
Speaker 1: that page in the excel. I do never look at
Speaker 1: it because I do not want to know it's an
Speaker 1: expense for my job. Okay, I don't think you could
Speaker 1: class your snoo business an expense for your work.
Speaker 3: No, it's not tax deductible. So my husband's not that happy.
Speaker 1: When you first met your husband, were you snoopy craze like,
Speaker 1: did he know what he was getting into?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think it was very obvious.
Speaker 1: And when do you think he like, you know, it
Speaker 1: came to terms with it. There was actually a third
Speaker 1: person in the relationship, that being a beagle that doesn't speak.
Speaker 3: He actually supports my collection because he doesn't have any
Speaker 3: problems trying to find me a birthday valantine.
Speaker 1: Be a really good comeback for if anyone ever mock's
Speaker 1: any passion you have, be like babes. If you're ever
Speaker 1: out of an idea, you now know what you can
Speaker 1: get me for my birthday Christmas.
Speaker 3: When he asked me to get married, I said, well,
Speaker 3: if you get me a big fat snoopy, I'll think
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: That sounds like something. Well, I'll get married with you
Speaker 1: if you give me a big fat snoopy. Do you
Speaker 1: have a holy grail snoopy item, something that's super rare
Speaker 1: or you spent years trying to track down.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's very hard to choose, but I have to
Speaker 3: say it would be the wedding ring that my husband
Speaker 3: gave to me.
Speaker 1: Wait, is it actually a snoopy wedding ring? Yes? What
Speaker 1: tell me? I need to help tell me about this ring.
Speaker 3: We were planning to get married and well, first of all,
Speaker 3: gave me the big fat snoopy before for the engagement,
Speaker 3: and so I had to say yes, because how can
Speaker 3: you say no to a big fat snippy.
Speaker 1: I know, I just can't say no to a big
Speaker 1: fat snoopy. I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 3: And I said, a big fat snoopy and a diamond ring,
Speaker 3: not just one or the other.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to choose.
Speaker 3: And then when we were making plans for the wedding,
Speaker 3: he asked me what would I like for the wedding
Speaker 3: and I said I would like a wedding ring, but
Speaker 3: he said, oh no, it's too expensive.
Speaker 2: How am I going to get that in Australia.
Speaker 3: Australia does not have many snoopy items, and so apparently
Speaker 3: I found out later that he had the best man
Speaker 3: on a business trip to Japan and told him which
Speaker 3: door to go to and purchase it, and then he
Speaker 3: brought it back to Sydney. And then when we were
Speaker 3: planning the wedding rings, Mark would say, oh, I just
Speaker 3: need ten minutes and rush back to the jewelry store
Speaker 3: and he told the jeweler to add a diamond on
Speaker 3: Snoopy's collar.
Speaker 1: So it's like custom Deluxe, Holy Grails Snoopy ring.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I wear it every day.
Speaker 1: Our homes are Do you ever wake up and go
Speaker 1: I don't like Snoopy today.
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Never, Because sometimes I wake up and I look at
Speaker 1: all the things that I have and I'm like why
Speaker 1: do I have this? And then I snap out of it.
Speaker 1: But some days I'm like, what if I just didn't?
Speaker 3: Never?
Speaker 1: Ever?
Speaker 2: No, okay?
Speaker 1: Is to get more, what would the weirdest item? Besides
Speaker 1: I think your wedding ring is quite strange, But what
Speaker 1: would the weirdest Snoopy branded item you have?
Speaker 5: Is?
Speaker 2: I guess Snoopy on my underwear snipy bees is that weird?
Speaker 1: The beagle is with the beaver, all right, So Snoopy
Speaker 1: is famously silent except for the thought bubbles. You can
Speaker 1: see what he's thinking. Lisa, I want you to name
Speaker 1: Snoopy in different professions, and I'm going to try my
Speaker 1: best to do an impression of each of the Snoopies,
Speaker 1: like what they would say and what I think they
Speaker 1: would sound like. Because we've never heard his voice, have we?
Speaker 1: This is this could be the reveal today. This could
Speaker 1: be the reveal what Snoopy could actually sound like? Hit me?
Speaker 2: Okay, Snoopy is a world flying ice.
Speaker 1: I really got to get to the character.
Speaker 2: That's pretty close.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Rock star Snoopy?
Speaker 1: Oh rock star.
Speaker 5: Hey, yeah, you're gonna play some music. Really excited be here.
Speaker 5: It's really good music. It's so good at the moment.
Speaker 5: Listen to my new single Dade. It's really good. Dad, Yeah,

Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Next, Cheff Snoopy, Oh shift.
Speaker 1: COI cockies love. Yeah, he's you. They're really hot, gummy gummy.
Speaker 1: It's like Gordon Ramsey if he was a drag queen. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is also my audition. If Snoopy ever wants to
Speaker 1: have a voice, I could be it. Thanks, all right.
Speaker 1: Lisa isn't a collector of tiny things. No, she has
Speaker 1: the largest Snoopy collection in Australia, including the BFS, The
