Speaker 1: Hello, it's Art Simone. I'll let you in a little secret.
Speaker 2: I live a double life, and I'm not the only one.
Speaker 2: So I've taken it upon myself to find other people
Speaker 2: just like me who do something in their personal life
Speaker 2: that is very different from their professional life. Well, they
Speaker 2: seem very regular in person, but have a scandalous career.
Speaker 1: Sounds fun, right.
Speaker 2: I know it gets even better because I actually don't
Speaker 2: know who I'll be speaking with or what they're concealing.
Speaker 2: This is concealed with me, Art Simone, let's meet our guests.
Speaker 1: Roll that type.
Speaker 3: My name is eighty. I am from Tasmania. I'm thirty
Speaker 3: six years old and I am a consent educator. I
Speaker 3: work in high schools talking to young people about respectful
Speaker 3: relationships and how to have great intimacy if and when
Speaker 3: they want to do that. In my spare time to
Speaker 3: do anything that doesn't involve sitting still, I don't think
Speaker 3: Art will guess what I'm concealing because it's so left
Speaker 3: of center and at first glance, completely different from my
Speaker 3: day to day.
Speaker 1: Hello, Adi, how are you?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 2: You look nice and cozy. You wearing glasses and you've
Speaker 2: got a nice little silver necklace. Singing, what's on the
Speaker 2: end of it? What's that?
Speaker 3: That's a Tasmanian devil?
Speaker 1: Poor print, not life size.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's a little medallion. I just wear that
Speaker 3: because I've traveled a fair bit. So, ok, I like
Speaker 3: to have a little reminder of home.
Speaker 2: Are they actually like in the wild and Tasmania Tasmanian devils?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yuck.
Speaker 3: No, they're wonderful. They're so cute.
Speaker 1: Don't they make those horrible noises?
Speaker 3: You're like, yes, yeah, yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: They're a bit scary. Have you ever been attacked by
Speaker 1: a Tasmanian? I don't know. This is not the interview.
Speaker 3: I haven't, but I know someone that has.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a new podcast. You're doing totally
Speaker 1: Wild instead.
Speaker 2: All right, forget Ranger Stacy, she's out, it's me instead.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So a consent educator, How did you get into that?
Speaker 2: What pathway led you to that? Is this also a
Speaker 2: new thing that's being added into high schools. I didn't
Speaker 2: have that when I was in high school.
Speaker 3: I came to it in twenty seventeen, and I was
Speaker 3: at a point where I was looking for something else
Speaker 3: in my life and It just really aligned with my values.
Speaker 3: I guess I wanted to be making a difference in
Speaker 3: the world, and I wanted to be helping people, and
Speaker 3: this seemed like a really positive way to do that.
Speaker 3: I also really enjoy working with young people. I think
Speaker 3: they're far more interesting than adults.
Speaker 2: You're doing God's work, Dowling, You're doing God's work because
Speaker 2: I can't stand those little shits, but I have no patience.
Speaker 2: I just find them really stinky and annoying. But I
Speaker 2: think it's very important that you're doing what you do.
Speaker 2: So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
Speaker 2: ask you three questions, and from the answers to those
Speaker 2: three questions, plus combined with the background info I have
Speaker 2: now and the visuals in front of me, I'm going
Speaker 2: to try and guess what you're concealing from me.
Speaker 1: Okay, so here we go. Fire away Question number one,
Speaker 1: what is your star sign?
Speaker 3: I am an aquarian?
Speaker 1: Oh what's that one?
Speaker 3: It's the water carrier and a lot of people think
Speaker 3: that it's a water sign, but it's actually an air sign.
Speaker 2: I'm a virgo and I just know that's the pretty
Speaker 2: lady and I resonate with I resonate with that.
Speaker 1: I think she's quite nice looking. Okay.
Speaker 2: Question number two, what is one crazy thing that you've
Speaker 2: got on your bucket list?
Speaker 3: I really want to do wing walking? What do you
Speaker 3: know those those biplanes, the YOLDI biplanes with the two
Speaker 3: sets of wings and how sometimes people used to walk
Speaker 3: on top of them.
Speaker 1: As they're flying while it's in the air.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really want to do that.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, why would you what? What?
Speaker 2: What are you sitting down one day and he said, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'd love to do that. That'd be fun.
Speaker 3: It just really appeals to me. I like wing walking,
Speaker 3: being up high, and it's just I really like the
Speaker 3: kudos that would go with that as well, and it
Speaker 3: would just be so fun. And it's something that not
Speaker 3: many people do.
Speaker 2: And yeah, but if you want to get up high,
Speaker 2: I love just go at an elevator. Same thing, maybe
Speaker 2: one that as a window. Question number three, what is
Speaker 2: your go to karaoke song?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 3: Well, Wicked is my favorite musical?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yes, a bit of define gravity or yeah, more of
Speaker 1: a yeah.
Speaker 3: Not that I would want to step on a Dina
Speaker 3: Menzol's toes. I could ever hold a torch, but that
Speaker 3: song is epic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I only for the first time saw Wicked this year.
Speaker 2: I know it's been around for like twenty years hashtag
Speaker 2: bad gay. I finally saw it and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, it's pretty good because I've heard define
Speaker 2: gravity million times drag queens love to perform that, of course,
Speaker 2: but like, it was actually pretty good.
Speaker 3: It's a good story.
Speaker 2: The twist at the end, I was, It's like, how
Speaker 2: has this not been spoil for me after twenty years?
Speaker 2: How did I exist in pop culture in the world
Speaker 2: and not have this room for me?
Speaker 1: So it was a great moment.
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, what a great experience.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's all just linked together.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, it's quite Norris actually, Okay, so what
Speaker 2: have I got? Let's recap. Okay, you work with teenagers
Speaker 2: young adults. You have a Tasmanian devil miniature poor print
Speaker 2: around your nick. You're in aquarius. You want to walk
Speaker 2: on wings and be up high and define gravity. Okay,
Speaker 2: I know where we're leaning towards, flying in the sky,
Speaker 2: in the sky high, define gravity. Oh that's air. It's
Speaker 2: all up in the air, okay, air.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's a lot of clues there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's all pointing to this air and the sky.
Speaker 2: Do you fly a blimp? Are you a blimp pilot?
Speaker 2: A blimp pilot?
Speaker 3: Hot air finalance? Yes, I'm sorry, I do not fly
Speaker 3: a bar.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I am a trapeze artist, and I've worked all around
Speaker 3: the globe across twenty four countries, performing with a few
Speaker 3: different circuses, and I now run a circus school.
Speaker 2: Ah, you're you're a circus the former.
Speaker 1: You're a trapeze artist. You're an aerialist.
Speaker 3: That's me.
Speaker 1: No wonder you want to be on a bloody winden walker. Ah,
Speaker 1: you mustn't be afraid of anything scary.
Speaker 2: So we have just found out that eighty is not
Speaker 2: in fact a limp pilot. Oh, she's actually a trapeze artist.
Speaker 2: She's doing with the circus.
Speaker 1: Can I join? Where is it? Can I help?
Speaker 2: I could be a clown or I could just do popcorn?
Speaker 2: I want to hello. Okay, we are here with and
Speaker 2: we found out that no, she's not a blimp pilot.
Speaker 2: She's in fact a trapeze artist. So she likes to
Speaker 2: be up high and swing from things. So how did
Speaker 2: you become a trapeze artist?
Speaker 3: I guess the short story is that My mother is
Speaker 3: a physiotherapist and when I was four, she noticed that
Speaker 3: I couldn't touch my toes. I was very tight and inflexible.
Speaker 3: So she enrolled me in gymnastics and I loved it.
Speaker 3: And then when I was sixteen, I was having a
Speaker 3: really tough time at school and mum discovered NIKER at
Speaker 3: the National Institute of Circus Arts, and so she told
Speaker 3: me about that and she took me up there for
Speaker 3: a summer course and that was it pretty much. I
Speaker 3: was like, school can get out of here. I need
Speaker 3: to get the splits and I need to get into NIKA.
Speaker 3: And that's what I did. So I graduated year twelve
Speaker 3: and I went straight to NIKER before my eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 3: I did a three year degree there and then and
Speaker 3: I did literally anything I could to work in circus.
Speaker 3: I basically worked free for a year just doing all
Speaker 3: sorts of things, trying to get experience built up the
Speaker 3: CV and then I landed a really amazing contract with
Speaker 3: a UK circus and the rest is history.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So during circus school, because I know, you can pick
Speaker 2: like a specialty, so was that trapeze? Did you have
Speaker 2: a secondary circus type thing that you were like almost
Speaker 2: going to go with but you said, nah, trapez is
Speaker 2: it for me?
Speaker 3: Pretty much back when I did it, and it was
Speaker 3: three years. The first year was everything basic, so we
Speaker 3: learned handstands and tumbling and acrobatics and clowning.
Speaker 1: I know they do clowning. Did they do clouding then yep?
Speaker 3: Yeah, bit of clouding yes, ah, I love it. Ballet
Speaker 3: every morning, history of circus, business management, anatoman, physiology, all
Speaker 3: of the things that you could possibly need. And then
Speaker 3: we had specialized so I really wanted to do flying trapeze,
Speaker 3: so I had to rally a group to do that
Speaker 3: with me, and then I needed a secondary one and
Speaker 3: I wanted to do swinging trippees. So all of the
Speaker 3: trapez is it wasn't encouraged because they try to encourage
Speaker 3: you to be a more rounded performer so that you
Speaker 3: are employable. Yes, and flying trapezes and swinging trepees are
Speaker 3: not super sellable, like you have to have all of
Speaker 3: this rigging and set up and it's expensive.
Speaker 2: And are they the ones where you need like a
Speaker 2: full net underneath you, like.
Speaker 3: It's that kind of thing. The flying typiez that I
Speaker 3: trained in is actually a smaller version, so it's exactly
Speaker 3: what you're imagining with the net, just a little bit
Speaker 3: smaller and has mats instead of a net.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, my goodness.
Speaker 3: And then swinging trapez is the one where it's one
Speaker 3: person standing on a bar pushing it backwards and forwards,
Speaker 3: and then you sort of jump and do flips and
Speaker 3: stuff and recatch the same bar.
Speaker 1: So I was speechless to that. I just I can't.
Speaker 1: Where have you tued? Where have you traveled? Well?
Speaker 2: You know, because I know that circus artists can do
Speaker 2: anything from like being a cabaret show with a I'm
Speaker 2: going to say something controversial yet brave, not another bloody
Speaker 2: light lira hoop, not another one, because any any any
Speaker 2: bitch thing. So you can strap one to roof and
Speaker 2: sit in it and be like, look I do circus.
Speaker 1: No you don't, No, you don't.
Speaker 2: If I see another set of silks again, go away
Speaker 2: not interested.
Speaker 3: Well that's because they're the most easy to rig.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah they are.
Speaker 3: They just take one point, yeah, one thing to hang
Speaker 3: from the roof.
Speaker 1: You've just got your caribbean or you're strapped up off
Speaker 1: your guard.
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, it's very cheap. It's very easy to
Speaker 3: get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in there, so I know that circus can be
Speaker 2: in places like that, But then I'm more interested in,
Speaker 2: you know, the bigger shows and things. So you know,
Speaker 2: what's the most exciting thing you've done?
Speaker 1: Tell me?
Speaker 3: Tell me, Well, yes, I have done my fair share
Speaker 3: of cabarets, yes, but for most of my career I
Speaker 3: was working on large scale touring, tended shows, like.
Speaker 1: An actual circus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I lived in a caravan.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that's so exciting.
Speaker 2: Like I've been on tour before, but I haven't actually
Speaker 2: gone with a bloody tent.
Speaker 1: That's like, what? How long on the How long do
Speaker 1: you do that?
Speaker 3: For about eight months of the year and then the
Speaker 3: off season that's when you sort of pick up the
Speaker 3: extra sort of cabarets or festival work or other stuff,
Speaker 3: usually for a month at a time, and then you
Speaker 3: pack the tent down, you put it in trucks, and
Speaker 3: then you drive somewhere else and then you put it
Speaker 3: all back up again and then you do another month
Speaker 3: of shows six days a week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have to be involved in that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh really, I always wanted to join the circus, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want you.
Speaker 3: Now, it's a really nice way that I think really
Speaker 3: contributes to that sense of community and sense of family. Like,
Speaker 3: as this swinging chrapeze artist, there's a fair amount of
Speaker 3: star power or like you know, like you're in the
Speaker 3: spotlight for that one moment in the show. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: then there's a real leveling when you all have to
Speaker 3: put your gum boots on and hit sledgehammers into the mud.
Speaker 3: And so then the people that are working the popcorn
Speaker 3: machine are then the people that you're reporting to when
Speaker 3: you're loading a truck and like, it's really great.
Speaker 1: What's the circus you to it with?
Speaker 3: The one that I spend the most amount of time
Speaker 3: on is a UK based contemporary circus called No Fit State. Okay,
Speaker 3: but I worked for a French flying trapeze company for
Speaker 3: a few years. I also did some traditional circus in
Speaker 3: India which was an experience. Rode some elephants there for all.
Speaker 2: While, Wow, how does your body cope with that? Because
Speaker 2: how you do six shows a week, unpacked, the tent
Speaker 2: down and stay in good physical form?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I've definitely noticed just as I've aged and
Speaker 3: as I've grown as a person, that relationship with my
Speaker 3: body has certainly changed. Like, I definitely had some unhealthy
Speaker 3: attitudes from growing up in a sporting environment, and then
Speaker 3: Nika was pretty similar, and I had some attitudes towards
Speaker 3: training and things that weren't particularly helpful. But I was
Speaker 3: young enough that my body was very resilient take a
Speaker 3: lot of punishment. I think around twenty four, twenty five,
Speaker 3: twenty six, I started to notice that I really needed
Speaker 3: to make sure I was warming up properly and cooling
Speaker 3: down properly, because if I didn't do that, it was
Speaker 3: problematic and things would happen. But also we had a
Speaker 3: physio on tour with us, so any sort of little
Speaker 3: niggles or things we could get checked out really really
Speaker 3: quickly and get a plan around. And then sauna. Sauna
Speaker 3: was a real life saver. That is something that if
Speaker 3: you work six days a week and you've got two
Speaker 3: shows that on the weekend, if you have one day off,
Speaker 3: the best thing that I could do was go and
Speaker 3: have a sauna, because it really makes your body feel
Speaker 3: like you've had two days off even though you haven't had.
Speaker 2: You get your bang for your buck, You're right, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: time slows down in the sauna. It's all right, guys,
Speaker 2: and get my two days worth in this one day, and.
Speaker 3: Then like sleeping and eating and making sure my routine
Speaker 3: was it's good. My pre show routine would definitely be
Speaker 3: like half my dinner early and then do costume makeup,
Speaker 3: all that coffee and a kaka oh yes, pre show
Speaker 3: poo yes, yeah, very important, and then two squares of
Speaker 3: dark chocolate and interval and then post show cool down,
Speaker 3: second dinner. Oh my goodness, that was pretty much how
Speaker 3: I rolled.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, you've got to find what works for yourself too,
Speaker 2: you know. But all gigs paid the same, Like you know,
Speaker 2: you obviously get some danger money from hanging from the ceiling,
Speaker 2: But do you get gigs that are paying more than
Speaker 2: just your regular circus work.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've done the really well paid. I was
Speaker 3: a stunt double for a flying trapeze artist once. It
Speaker 3: was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Stunt double for another trapeze artist.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's just like having two of the same thing.
Speaker 3: What Yeah, Well, do you remember at the start I
Speaker 3: told you that the flying chipiez that you were thinking
Speaker 3: of is bigger it has the net, yes, and the
Speaker 3: flying tupiece that I do is slightly smaller and has matts.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: So this big fancy bank was making an advertisement and
Speaker 3: they wanted to show trust, so trapeze catch ah, And
Speaker 3: they hired these trapeze artists, and then they got to
Speaker 3: the venue and they realized that it was the little
Speaker 3: rig not the big one. So the trapeze artist was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know how to fly on this what?
Speaker 2: So then what they call you in? You do the trick?
Speaker 2: But then do they do a close up of the
Speaker 2: other artists.
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, they dressed me up like the flying trapeze artists.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: She could do everything except the trick. Yeah, so I
Speaker 3: just did the trick.
Speaker 1: Sorry, she could do everything except for the hard bit.
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, I'll see how it is.
Speaker 3: But yeah I got to I got to go somewhere
Speaker 3: in eastern Europe. It was really beautiful. I got paid
Speaker 3: really well. That was pretty great.
Speaker 2: I interviewed a Hollywood stunt double recently and I was
Speaker 2: asking him. I was like, is it really annoying seeing
Speaker 2: other people get like applauded for your work essentially because
Speaker 2: you do all the hard bit?
Speaker 1: Was that hard for you? Were you like, hey, I
Speaker 1: did that trick? Actually, oh no, I got paid exactly.
Speaker 3: There are some things that if you get paid enough whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I want to know what the best and
Speaker 2: the worst thing has been in your circus career, Like
Speaker 2: what's the most exciting amazing thing that you think back
Speaker 2: and you go, damn, I did that. That was great,
Speaker 2: versus being like the moment where you're like, this is horrendous.
Speaker 3: Okay, I can do the horrendous one off the top
Speaker 3: of my head. I shut myself.
Speaker 1: While you performing everyone.
Speaker 3: So that's a that's a secret. The PSP, yes, the
Speaker 3: coffee and a kaka. So that that happened in India
Speaker 3: where I had a bit of Delli belly going on.
Speaker 3: Thankfully I was wearing three pairs of tides. So my
Speaker 3: first trick was actually pulling up an over onto my hips,
Speaker 3: which just pressed things that couldn't take it at that time.
Speaker 3: And so I very quickly just cut straight to the
Speaker 3: final trick, did that and then took myself.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So we didn't have any actual like overspray, you know,
Speaker 2: any explosions, but it's that moment you go, something's got
Speaker 2: gone wrong.
Speaker 3: That's the benefit of being an erlis. You're constantly wearing
Speaker 3: so many layers because it bruises and grazes.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: But it was not comfortable and I was mortified.
Speaker 2: That Nappy would not have been fun to unwrap at
Speaker 2: the end. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not going into details. I did my
Speaker 3: five presents as is wanted in a traditional circuits.
Speaker 1: That's scary. That's scary. But what about the best, right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: From shooting yourself too?
Speaker 3: The best was I mentioned I had a number of
Speaker 3: caravans that broke down. Yes, that had happened. I had
Speaker 3: sourced a friend's caravan that I was going to move into,
Speaker 3: but it was all very short notice and I didn't
Speaker 3: have time, and so I was trying to move house
Speaker 3: essentially as the show was going on. So I would
Speaker 3: like do my act quickly, change for the next one,
Speaker 3: come back and move some more stuff over. And then
Speaker 3: after the show, everyone came and made a chain between
Speaker 3: the two caravans and they took all of my stuff
Speaker 3: literally piece by piece, in a human chain, from the
Speaker 3: broken caravan to my new one. Like they pulled up
Speaker 3: the floor and placed it in the new an for
Speaker 3: me so that I kept like all my decort everything,
Speaker 3: And so that was the highlight. That was like the
Speaker 3: whole circus rallying around to give me a hand.
Speaker 1: That's really interesting.
Speaker 2: Out of everything you've done, it's nothing to do with
Speaker 2: actually you've done, or a trick you've done, or an
Speaker 2: audience you perform for. It comes back to community again.
Speaker 2: That's so fascinating. Moving into you know what you do now?
Speaker 2: Is there any like intersection with what you learned in
Speaker 2: being the circus as to you know your role now
Speaker 2: as a consent educator.
Speaker 3: There is so much crossover. Yeah, so much crossover. So
Speaker 3: I think when we're talking about consenting, we talk a
Speaker 3: lot about listening to our intuition and getting to know ourselves,
Speaker 3: and a lot of that is our early warning system,
Speaker 3: where we have our brain stem that gives us those
Speaker 3: really fun feelings of butterflies and our tummy and sweaty
Speaker 3: palms and goose pumps and increase heart rate and all
Speaker 3: of that stuff. And essentially that is our brain telling
Speaker 3: us something is unsafe here, heads up, get ready, you
Speaker 3: might need to fight, flight or freeze.
Speaker 2: Would you say as a circus artist, half of it
Speaker 2: is ignoring that because you like, because your body's like
Speaker 2: probably should be jumping off there, not doing it anyway.
Speaker 3: Freaking out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's like learning how to turn that voice off,
Speaker 1: being like shut up.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it's something to be suppressed. And
Speaker 3: I think that's where the intersection lies is a lot
Speaker 3: of people think that we have to ignore those things
Speaker 3: and push through those things, but actually it's really valuable
Speaker 3: information and that's our animal brain and it's existed like
Speaker 3: that for as long as humans have because we need
Speaker 3: it and it's a good thing, and it's also a
Speaker 3: fun thing. It's why we do trapees, it's why we
Speaker 3: go on roller coasters, and it's why we watch horror
Speaker 3: movies because we like to get those feelings and it's great.
Speaker 3: But ultimately, it's a message from our body. So I
Speaker 3: think it's really important to listen to that. And that's
Speaker 3: something that Circus taught me to do really, really well,
Speaker 3: because I'm not always that self aware to go, you
Speaker 3: know what, I had an argument with that person today.
Speaker 3: I feel really betrayed by that person, or like this
Speaker 3: thing didn't happen in the way I thought it was
Speaker 3: going to be, and nu's just put me off a bit.
Speaker 3: I don't think those things, but what I do is
Speaker 3: I'm like, actually, I feel a bit shaky right now,
Speaker 3: maybe I should treat this a little bit differently or
Speaker 3: check in with myself or And I think being self
Speaker 3: aware in that way is really helpful when navigating consenting conversations,
Speaker 3: which is something that we are constantly doing. It's not
Speaker 3: just for sex, because if you just start talking about
Speaker 3: consent when you're talking about sex, it's really awkward and
Speaker 3: uncomfortable and potentially harassment. So it's something that it's language
Speaker 3: and role modeling behaviors that we need to do constantly,
Speaker 3: and Circus is such a brilliant platform for that because
Speaker 3: we already have a situation where we're interacting physically with
Speaker 3: other people, and so we have to have those conversations
Speaker 3: and it does become really normal to be like, actually,
Speaker 3: I need you to throw me a little bit harder.
Speaker 3: Can you grab a little bit lower on my foot?
Speaker 3: Like now that I do the two roles, I really
Speaker 3: feel like I talk the walk in my sex education
Speaker 3: work and I walk the talk in the Circus studio.
Speaker 3: And it's pretty amazing when you start teaching kids and
Speaker 3: young people and they say no, and you're like, okay,
Speaker 3: well let's do something else. Then let's find a way
Speaker 3: to make this work for you. It's really empowering.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even think that. It's just part of it.
Speaker 2: Like in circus when you're working with other partners, you
Speaker 2: need to be asking all these questions. It's almost just
Speaker 2: like it's standard practice.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: To wrap it all up, I want to know what
Speaker 2: are some of your tricks? You know, do you have
Speaker 2: fancy names for them or do you rename them yourself?
Speaker 2: Because I want to name a trick. Okay, you know
Speaker 2: normally that name you know, name something after you if
Speaker 2: you do it. But I'm just going to live vicariously
Speaker 2: through you.
Speaker 1: Okay, so great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you this one and what I've named it,
Speaker 3: and then i'll tell you what I don't have a
Speaker 3: name for, and maybe you can name it.
Speaker 1: Oh, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 3: So the trick that I do is called a sovrie,
Speaker 3: which means jump twist, and then a retu debut, which
Speaker 3: is like a return up to standing, So it's a
Speaker 3: back summersault from under the bar to land on.
Speaker 1: Of course it is what else?
Speaker 3: And I call that one a scary scary because the
Speaker 3: first part is scary and the second part is also scary.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you a new one, all right,
Speaker 1: so what what do you need renamed?
Speaker 3: There's one called a gallipet where you kneel on the
Speaker 3: bar and flip off the front.
Speaker 2: Kneel on bar, flip up front. Yes, just write notes
Speaker 2: I want to get this right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, followed by a hock salt. So your knees are
Speaker 3: on the bar and then you let go of the
Speaker 3: ropes and whip all the way around by your knees
Speaker 3: back to sit.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well, the only logical thing to call that
Speaker 2: is absolutely not, absolutely not not happening. So you're going
Speaker 2: to go scary scary, absolutely not a big finish.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
Speaker 1: So eighty isn't a blimp pilot.
Speaker 2: No, she is a trapeze artist who has literally run
Speaker 2: away and join the circus and has taught us today
Speaker 2: that you can never trust a fart. You've been listening
Speaker 2: to an iHeart Australia and Kiss production concealed with artsimone.
