Speaker 2: favorite performers on Dancing with the Stars. Actually I got

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: in a bit of trouble with her because we went

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: I know you know I've spent hours in hair and

00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: makeup this morning just for you too.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: That's crazy we're on radio.

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 3: But you know I like to wear this many crystals

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: and feathers this early in the morning, and these forty

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: two inches of hair I'm wearing is just quite magnificent

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: a lot.

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: When I watched you.

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: With Dancing with the Stars. Not only are you an

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: amazing performer, but there's a lot of stuff that went

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: in for Shane to be Courtney.

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of adhesives, a lot of adhesives, but

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the weight of wigs and clothes have you had to

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: learn to not have the eerts and just chuck it

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: all on the floor.

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a gradual process. I started with a

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: shaken go wig back in the year two thousand and

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: I was that just you know, you go to the

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: wig shop and you plunk it on your head and

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: it looks good in any position but doesn't really look good,

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: but you think it looks good, and then you look

29
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: back at photographs and you're like, oh god, and it's

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: not even like what was I thinking fashion trend. It's

31
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: just that was an ugly wig. But Dancing with the Stars,

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: I feel that my wigs I'm Dancing with the Stars

33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: needed an awards category. The LOGI yeah, absolutely, because I

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: think as well, like they were so like people just

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 3: looked and went, oh, there's a girl with hair, but no,

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: there wasn't a girl, and no, well it was hair,

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: but it wasn't hers. And so a lot of them

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: were like, like, there's two pay clips, there's adhesives, there's glue,

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: there's stocking caps, there's so many pins and it just

40
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: looks like a delicate, flowing head of hair that you

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: can turn upside down on national television.

42
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: Because I couldn't see the join ever.

43
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: No, that's what she said.

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: That's why we got in tron were gotting so much us.

45
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: Amanda is my yardstick for what was appropriate, and that

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: was the bad I.

47
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: Say each other. You said yards to God last, that

48
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: is the worst thing you could ever do. Do not

49
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: use this woman as a yardstick for anything that's vaguely naughty.

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: This is at least a yard point two.

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 4: So where will you be positioned to oversee the Mardi Gras?

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: I believe I will be on Taylor Square right and

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: sort of out the front of Conselos on the side.

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: I've got a little studio stage.

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: All right near Gilligan's Island there.

56
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: Yes, Gilligan's Island, haven't I had many a shipwreck, shipwreck.

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: This many many years ago, probably twenty years ago, and.

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: Watching you really, it must have been in my not

59
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: in my laund room, in my bedroom at home in

60
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: Brisbane and suburban Brisbane. Downstairs. We didn't have remote controls

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: for the Telly back then, so you'd have to stand

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: at the television watching the stairs to make sure nobody

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: was coming down the stairs so you could quickly change

64
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: the channel so no one knew you were watching the Marney.

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: Wow.

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: Although I didn't really need to worry, as it turns out,

67
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: Mum and Dad a fine, but we still thought that

68
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: I had to worry. Wow, So that was a real

69
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: thing for you back there, definitely.

70
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: Because that's really what Mighty gris about. Yes, it's the

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: feathers and the glam, but it's also it's usually quite

72
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: a political there is saying hey, you know, there's still

73
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: a lot long way to go.

74
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just for us in Australia, or not

75
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: just for us in the cities, but people in the

76
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: country and also all around the world. It's still criminal

77
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: in thirty four countries in the British Commonwealth not really

78
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: to be queer in some way. Two of them. You

79
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: can still be stoned to death just for loving someone.

80
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: It's kind of gobsmacking when you actually think. And that's

81
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: just in the British Commonwealth.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,640

Speaker 4: Are you wearing? Ah?

85
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,920

86
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: won't be able to focus on because there's so many

87
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: sparkles on it. It could be ripped straight from the
