Speaker 1: On today's podcast, I have Jimmy Rees, who is currently
Speaker 1: appearing on season one of Network Ten's Task Masters. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Rees was an Australian children's entertainer best known for playing
Speaker 1: the role of Jimmy Giggle on ABC Kids, but now
Speaker 1: he has switched kids audiences for adults.
Speaker 3: In plenty of comedy sketch roles across.
Speaker 1: The country, including what We're talking about today, which is
Speaker 1: his latest series, task Masters, where Tom Gleeson and his
Speaker 1: trusty sidekick Tom Cashman have been setting a series of challenges,
Speaker 1: each more mind bending and head scratching than the last.
Speaker 1: You can catch up on ten Play and weekly episodes
Speaker 1: are screened on Thursday nights at seven thirty. I will
Speaker 1: ask about Jimmy's transition from children's entertainer to mainstream comedy.
Speaker 1: We will find out more about his inspiration for last
Speaker 1: and what the pandemic did for his career. I will
Speaker 1: ask him about his triumphant success with viral videos. Plus
Speaker 1: we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes
Speaker 1: of the first series of task Masters. Anyway, let's bring
Speaker 1: Jimmy into the podcast and I hope you enjoy this episode. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: I have been a huge fan of your work for
Speaker 1: quite some time, so I'm very excited to be able
Speaker 1: to have this chat with you today.
Speaker 4: Awesome, it's great to be here. Stop it the stop
Speaker 4: it with the family flattering me.
Speaker 1: I'm blushing, I know, but you know it's funny because
Speaker 1: I've got lots of kids in my life. I don't
Speaker 1: have kids myself, but I look after my friend's kids.
Speaker 1: And I spent so much time watching you as a
Speaker 1: children's entertainer, and then I didn't really see the transition
Speaker 1: of you becoming sort of I'm going to say an
Speaker 1: adult performer, but that's probably.
Speaker 2: Doesn't say I'm right, does it. I don't own a poll.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you've got your own only bands account.
Speaker 4: The hardest transition is not saying adult entertainment when you've
Speaker 4: come from kids entertainment, but you just say entertainment. I've
Speaker 4: learned it's just entertainment.
Speaker 1: I can imagine that you had a lot of Australian
Speaker 1: entertainers that you looked up to, you know, before coming
Speaker 1: into the industry, you know, growing up, who were those
Speaker 1: sorts of entertainers that inspired you to go into television? Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, when I was in my teens, one of the
Speaker 4: biggest shows around at the time was like Grove Live
Speaker 4: and Thank God You're Here was around. I did love
Speaker 4: that show because it was just sort of improvised and
Speaker 4: silly and funny. And I don't know why I gravitated
Speaker 4: towards TV. I think you know a lot of people
Speaker 4: who they're wanting to get into anament or whatever.
Speaker 2: They kind of have this oh yeah, well TV, movies, radio, whatever.
Speaker 4: It is like they'll try and get into anything, or
Speaker 4: they might do acting, and then that involves like sort
Speaker 4: of TV and film and stuff. But I was more
Speaker 4: interested in just like those moments where people are having
Speaker 4: fun and being silly. And I think, you know, Rove
Speaker 4: Live was this huge show in the mid twenty ten
Speaker 4: sort of thing of a two thousand sort of time
Speaker 4: of just this Tuesday night was this fun show.
Speaker 2: It was a Tonight show.
Speaker 4: It wasn't really we didn't really get the other ones
Speaker 4: from overseas at that time. It seemed like Rovere was
Speaker 4: just this young guy having fun with his mates and
Speaker 4: then played all these silly games, and I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's sort of gravitated towards that. It seemed like he
Speaker 4: was just being himself, being fun, and that's what that's
Speaker 4: why I enjoy it. But in my house when I
Speaker 4: was a bit younger, my dad's originally from England and
Speaker 4: he moved out here when he was in his teens
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 2: But he's just got that.
Speaker 4: But he just loved watching British humor and British comedies
Speaker 4: and like the Two Runnies and Hale and Pace and
Speaker 4: Monty Python and Mister Been.
Speaker 2: They were on all the time in our house. So
Speaker 2: that was something that I just loved.
Speaker 4: And I guess that maybe with that physical thing I
Speaker 4: did love, you know, sort of physical comedy.
Speaker 3: I was brought up.
Speaker 1: My stepfather was English, so our house we played all
Speaker 1: of those shows were always on television. A lot of
Speaker 1: my humor that I lean towards is all of that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. It's kind of like a little it's
Speaker 1: a good school of comedy really to go through.
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, even he had records and tapes of like
Speaker 4: the Goon Show and like even Billy Birmingham's The Wide
Speaker 4: World of Sports, you know, he does the cricket commentary
Speaker 4: and Richie Beno.
Speaker 2: It's the sort of but that was on a record.
Speaker 2: We put it on the record.
Speaker 4: And he had all sorts of different bits of media,
Speaker 4: different things that I'll turn you to see these later
Speaker 4: on and stuff, but even just radio shows that were
Speaker 4: funny he had on in the background.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was a huge influence.
Speaker 4: And then I think watching films and stuff, I did
Speaker 4: gravitate towards the silly kind of films like Jim Carrey
Speaker 4: movies and yeah and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's always always been my sort of bag.
Speaker 1: Don't you think that we're really missing something? And I
Speaker 1: think you'd be perfect for this, But we're really missing
Speaker 1: a tonight show on television. And I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people say that they're kind of a bit dated.
Speaker 1: But yeah, when we've got people like Margot Robbie coming
Speaker 1: into the country to promote Battle Yeah, or big name actors,
Speaker 1: we've got nowhere to take them. We've got nothing in
Speaker 1: the Austraian industry to sit down and we don't need
Speaker 1: to ask them the big questions.
Speaker 3: We want someone like you to have a relatable moment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I agree, And I think, you know,
Speaker 4: some people say that that's like you're correct, you know, oh,
Speaker 4: there'd be dated.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe it would work here. But if you watch the.
Speaker 4: Big American shows or whatever, half their audience is not
Speaker 4: watching the TV show. They are watching the online clips.
Speaker 4: They're watching every single else. They've built these little mini
Speaker 4: empires of just everything going on social and you know,
Speaker 4: YouTube channels, and then obviously there's the TV show. But
Speaker 4: I don't think the TV show, Tonight show, whatever airs
Speaker 4: in Australia at the moment, they probably don't need to
Speaker 4: because it's just so far penetrated across all social media
Speaker 4: and clips and this and that the things end up
Speaker 4: on the news because they did something silly with a
Speaker 4: celebrity and stuff like that. So yeah, I think it's
Speaker 4: it's just coming at it from a different angle, Like
Speaker 4: you have the show and that's produced and it's fun,
Speaker 4: but also it can have lived this life online, I think,
Speaker 4: which is which could be absolutely perfect.
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting that you say that because I was
Speaker 1: talking to an American producer who works in nighttime TV
Speaker 1: in the States, and he was saying that all of
Speaker 1: the three shows that he's worked on, and he's worked
Speaker 1: on the top three shows over the last twenty years,
Speaker 1: and he said that they'd all be asked if it
Speaker 1: wasn't for the way in which people are consuming that content.
Speaker 1: And he said, that's why they do games more.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of you know, an actual interview.
Speaker 1: It's more like you know, getting to cold kidman to
Speaker 1: you know, to tie uself to a balloon and do.
Speaker 3: All this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But that's where the money is and that's that's you,
Speaker 1: and it leads been my question for you as well,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, being a kids entertainer and then
Speaker 1: now working as an entertainer. But they are quite similar
Speaker 1: in some ways.
Speaker 4: I think the evolution of it's funny because when I
Speaker 4: was at kids TV, there's all this sort of research
Speaker 4: and stuff and saying that, like, kids attention spans, especially
Speaker 4: when they're young, we're in.
Speaker 2: The preschool, we're talking under five.
Speaker 4: You know, their attention spans are quite sure, so you've
Speaker 4: got to sort of change tack a.
Speaker 2: Little bit and keep it visual.
Speaker 4: But with the evolution of TikTok and reels, I feel
Speaker 4: like the adults are exactly the same.
Speaker 2: Now our attention span has gone down a lot as well.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think you could sort of almost love
Speaker 4: the two categories that they share a lot of similarities
Speaker 4: where they might not have before waiting one week to
Speaker 4: watch an episode of their favorite show like that's that's
Speaker 4: sort of it's still around and people still enjoy that,
Speaker 4: but you know, binging something is more prevalent these days,
Speaker 4: and so yeah, I think you could argue a case that, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's these adult adults and kids audiences pretty similar.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you know, people either want to binge
Speaker 1: something for an obscene amount of time, like go outside,
Speaker 1: open a window.
Speaker 3: Maybe yes, but they want to.
Speaker 1: Binge something, or they want short sharp comedy, and you've
Speaker 1: kind of become the king of short sharp clips. I mean,
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved your skit that you did at the Logis.
Speaker 1: I was at the Logis and I'm absolutely.
Speaker 4: Probably pretty sure I heard you because I was. I
Speaker 4: was interested because I don't usually like if I was there,
Speaker 4: I did it, I edited up it, I said that
Speaker 4: in I didn't need to watch it, but I was interested.
Speaker 2: In how they would play it in the room and
Speaker 2: how would appear on TV. So I did watch it live.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, they had the room live,
Speaker 4: you know, and the reactions and I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's really really cool that everyone in the room was
Speaker 4: laughing along and it was it was fun and silly
Speaker 4: because yeah, which was good.
Speaker 2: So I probably definitely did hear you laughing.
Speaker 3: It landed really well.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really good skit, And I mean,
Speaker 1: I want to know, because if the pandemic hadn't happened,
Speaker 1: do you think you would have found because you've really
Speaker 1: found this niche. You know, it's flourished, like you know,
Speaker 1: you've probably started with a couple of videos. But if
Speaker 1: the pandemic hadn't happened, do you think that these skits
Speaker 1: might not have surfaced.
Speaker 4: I think just the direction I guess they would have
Speaker 4: taken because I started with a lot of parenting stuff
Speaker 4: because I was inside.
Speaker 2: Of Victorian and we were we.
Speaker 4: Were stuck in our houses for a long period of
Speaker 4: time in twenty twenty. And look, I knew I wanted
Speaker 4: to post stuff online. I was, you know, contractually with
Speaker 4: the ABC, I wasn't really allowed to do a lot,
Speaker 4: you know, like the stuff I'm doing now I never
Speaker 4: would have been allowed to do under my contract with
Speaker 4: as playing Jimmy Giggle, And that was fine.
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely cool with Jimmy Giggle.
Speaker 3: Doing now mine, I know exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I couldn't really live this other life online
Speaker 4: when I was under contract with the ABC, And that's
Speaker 4: the reasons that I signed up for, which is absolutely fine.
Speaker 4: But I'd never really thought about it until maybe a
Speaker 4: couple of years towards the end. I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: I really I just started writing down ideas and things,
Speaker 4: and then we had you know, more kids, and then
Speaker 4: I was like, this is chaos, you know. So when
Speaker 4: the pandemic gave me the impetus to just get along
Speaker 4: with it, get on with it. I mean like I'd
Speaker 4: written down these things and I'd done different you know,
Speaker 4: had different ideas, but I was always a bit a
Speaker 4: bit nerve wracking to put it out there, even though
Speaker 4: just spent ten years on TV. It was like being
Speaker 4: in my pajamas. I was like, I'm trying to entertain adults.
Speaker 4: Now this has a bit more gravitas to me. I
Speaker 4: want to I want to get it right. But having
Speaker 4: nothing to do and being you know in TV and
Speaker 4: entertainment during the pandemic is where everything went to zero.
Speaker 4: It was it just it really just gave me the
Speaker 4: launching pad to just do it. But yeah, I did
Speaker 4: start with like parenting sort of stuff, which I think
Speaker 4: would have floated anyway. And I got I got some
Speaker 4: really really great traction. And I guess that you could
Speaker 4: put that down to a lot of people on their
Speaker 4: devices and had nothing else to do anyway as well,
Speaker 4: But I think they would have gone okay, the whole
Speaker 4: spin on the on the States. In the meanwhile, in Australia,
Speaker 4: stuff obviously just grew from the pandemic, and yeah, some
Speaker 4: of those clips were definitely born out of that, and
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have I wouldn't have gone down that track obviously,
Speaker 4: but yeah, I think I think me evolving through that
Speaker 4: it just happened faster and faster and faster because there
Speaker 4: was new news every day. I wanted to get it
Speaker 4: out there. I had the time to do it. I
Speaker 4: wasn't occupied or preoccupied by doing anything else. So I
Speaker 4: think it's sort of really throddled it and I did it,
Speaker 4: you know, really fast, and I think I would have
Speaker 4: got it there anyway, but it was just like a
Speaker 4: rocket ship because it was people just wanted more.
Speaker 2: They wanted to laugh.
Speaker 1: I think for you as well, you do comedy that
Speaker 1: I really appreciate, which is a reflection on society. And
Speaker 1: I think that was the perfect time because during something
Speaker 1: we'd never experienced, like a pandemic, people behaved badly, and
Speaker 1: it meant that you could tap into making fun of,
Speaker 1: you know, people who behaved badly, like the Carrots, you know.
Speaker 4: Yep, absolutely yeah, And some of those skits wouldn't have existed,
Speaker 4: you know, like the Brighton Ladies.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think it mattered where you live.
Speaker 4: There was a bit of press about you know, Brighton
Speaker 4: at the time as well, which was you know the
Speaker 4: Krent from Brighton who escaped Brighton because you'd walked all
Speaker 4: the streets or whatever. But that was just born from
Speaker 4: you know, someone sent me a message actually and said,
Speaker 4: the talk around Brighton is hilarious, you know, because the
Speaker 4: father is not available, but you have to get the
Speaker 4: astrosenica if you're if you're older. But then people in
Speaker 4: Brighton are always trying to look younger. They're injecting themselves
Speaker 4: with lip fillers and you know, botox and stuff.
Speaker 2: They want to look younger.
Speaker 4: But then if they get the vaccine that these available
Speaker 4: to them, so in their fifties or whatever, then they
Speaker 4: have to reveal their age and they don't want to
Speaker 4: do that, so they want to wait for the fans.
Speaker 4: So that was just I was like, that is that
Speaker 4: is something that's so funny and it's actually happening like
Speaker 4: in these places where oh I don't want to get
Speaker 4: that one just yet, you know, I'll wait even though
Speaker 4: I want to be safe.
Speaker 2: But it's just such a weird situation.
Speaker 4: So some of those characters, yeah, I can absolutely have
Speaker 4: to put it down to the situation we're in and
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have created that those sort of little characters
Speaker 4: and skits hadn't we been in that. But yeah, it's
Speaker 4: it's funny looking around now. I just see videos all
Speaker 4: the time. Now, oh oh that's a video, that's.
Speaker 3: A clip, it's so funny.
Speaker 1: We have to quickly talk about task Masters before I
Speaker 1: let you go, because that's what we're here for. And
Speaker 1: I am so excited about the show. You could not
Speaker 1: be in better company when it comes to the comedians
Speaker 1: of Australia. I want to know, because this came from
Speaker 1: this concept came from England. Were you wanting to dip
Speaker 1: in and watch a lot of that before you did
Speaker 1: the show? I can imagine for some comedians they'd not
Speaker 1: want to see it at all because they'd sort of
Speaker 1: feel like they were mimicking it. You know, what was
Speaker 1: the process like for you? Did you binge watch what
Speaker 1: had been happening overseas or did you go into a blind.
Speaker 4: I had seen it was a bit of both. Actually
Speaker 4: I had seen task Master. I knew what it was.
Speaker 4: I'd seen many a clip online that popped up on
Speaker 4: I'd watched an episode or two, you know, over the
Speaker 4: last few years and stuff, so I knew what it was.
Speaker 4: I haven't watched whole series or like binge, the whole lot,
Speaker 4: and I didn't do that. I purposely didn't watch heaps
Speaker 4: of it before I went into it. So yeah, it
Speaker 4: was a bit of both. I knew exactly what it
Speaker 4: was when they said you're up for task Master. My
Speaker 4: agent called me and said, oh, yeah, you want to
Speaker 4: do task Master. I was like, absolutely, I know exactly
Speaker 4: what it is, and I think that's right up.
Speaker 2: My alley put me down for it straight away. But yeah,
Speaker 2: no I didn't. But then, like in hindsight, after the
Speaker 2: wrapped the series, I'm like, maybe I should have watched
Speaker 2: a little bit more.
Speaker 4: The only thing I would have which I had an understanding,
Speaker 4: is just some of the even watching like a couple
Speaker 4: of episodes in a row like that were sequential, maybe
Speaker 4: that just would have been a bit more beneficial for
Speaker 4: I just think maybe the studio part of it, because
Speaker 4: you actually it took me a couple of episodes to go, oh,
Speaker 4: we are we can reference back to other, you know,
Speaker 4: episodes because they are shot in order and we are
Speaker 4: doing it.
Speaker 2: That way.
Speaker 4: It's usually some shows you record these things and they'll
Speaker 4: be like, ah, even though that was the third episode.
Speaker 2: We recorded, we're gonna put that number one because that
Speaker 2: was the best one.
Speaker 4: So if things become out of order and they're very
Speaker 4: episodic and you you tune into that episode, it stands
Speaker 4: alone where this one is.
Speaker 2: Actually you could grow through the episode.
Speaker 4: You can refer way back to episode one in episode
Speaker 4: nine if you want to.
Speaker 2: Everyone seen everything.
Speaker 4: And obviously we don't want to do that too much
Speaker 4: for people are just tuning in a little later, but yeah,
Speaker 4: it's that's probably something I would have just maybe watched
Speaker 4: a couple couple more episodes and gone, oh okay.
Speaker 2: So they do that a lot.
Speaker 3: Theories two My Friends Series two, that's what you that's.
Speaker 4: What a series there is too will be new comedians, so.
Speaker 2: That's how that's how they operate. So which is really fun.
Speaker 4: Actually you do it one time and if you have
Speaker 4: all the regrets in the world, bad luck, you're not
Speaker 4: doing again, which is funny, Which is really funny. So
Speaker 4: you get through the series and you go, oh, if
Speaker 4: we did that again, and they're like, nap, sorry, we're
Speaker 4: gonna get a fresh batch. Of people to do it
Speaker 4: to go in blind basically, which is the cracks of
Speaker 4: the show, and that's what makes it raw and funny
Speaker 4: and silly because you get these tasks which is set there.
Speaker 4: I don't know how they come up with these things,
Speaker 4: but they're so random and they're really clever, and they
Speaker 4: then they set them up with little hints in them.
Speaker 2: But the hints can actually it can be.
Speaker 4: Interpreted both like two different ways, so you might go
Speaker 4: down one road or the other. But in the stress
Speaker 4: of the moment, you come up with the most random
Speaker 4: things and they don't give you any clues and anything beforehand.
Speaker 4: You just literally they roll the cameras you.
Speaker 2: Do the task.
Speaker 4: They don't say anything how well you've done or anything,
Speaker 4: and then you go on to the next one. So
Speaker 4: it's really it's really quite fun and like stressful at times.
Speaker 1: Why did they chose to because they film parts of
Speaker 1: this in New Zealand, like and some of it in Australia,
Speaker 1: so you're kind of doing the tasks you know, overseas
Speaker 1: and then coming back the live audience stuff. Why do
Speaker 1: you think they decided to make the decision to offshore
Speaker 1: some of.
Speaker 4: That, Yeah, I think I think it was more of
Speaker 4: a like a logistical kind of thing they had. The
Speaker 4: production company has has produced the New Zealand series of
Speaker 4: task Masters.
Speaker 1: So the.
Speaker 2: So like the house.
Speaker 4: Like if you've watched some task Master or the UK
Speaker 4: version of the New Zealand version or whatever, you'll know
Speaker 4: that the that all the tasks happen in. Like in
Speaker 4: inverted commas, the task Master house is which they you know,
Speaker 4: rent this property for a week and they take over
Speaker 4: it and it's yours for them, and they set things
Speaker 4: up in a shed, they decorate it, they do everything
Speaker 4: to it, so every single task is happening there.
Speaker 2: So the certain property.
Speaker 4: Has to have certain elements, so I think instead of
Speaker 4: going and finding one, you know, like New Zealand had
Speaker 4: already gone through all that, So we used the same
Speaker 4: house as as the New Zealand version of task Master.
Speaker 4: They just obviously tweaked a few bits and pieces here.
Speaker 4: It had like a pond down the back which they
Speaker 4: could use with a little boat in the jetty. There
Speaker 4: was plenty of space to run around in the field
Speaker 4: that was attached to the property. So it had all
Speaker 4: the elements of a of a task Master house and
Speaker 4: I just sort of wondered if they that was just
Speaker 4: like a something that was that was easy for them
Speaker 4: to go. Okay, well we've got the household of that
Speaker 4: worked really well in the New Zealand one, so we'll
Speaker 4: just use that one and put our Aussie comedians there.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's why half of it was shot in
Speaker 4: New Zealand.
Speaker 1: To pun show. You know, before you go, I have
Speaker 1: to ask you this last question, what is something from
Speaker 1: behind Everyone gets this. Everyone has to ask. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I'm talking like Donald Trump. Everyone gets this question.
Speaker 1: It's what is something from behind the scenes of making
Speaker 1: the show that we won't see on the program, kind
Speaker 1: of like maybe a behind the scenes secret or maybe
Speaker 1: something quite funny that happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, you put me on the spot. There's
Speaker 4: so many just random things that happened. Well, it's interesting
Speaker 4: because most like the tasks you do, you don't see
Speaker 4: anyone else, you know, Like there's a few group tasks
Speaker 4: you see, like I saw Luke and Nina in my
Speaker 4: group for like five group tasks or something, and that
Speaker 4: was it. I didn't see anyone else. I didn't know how
Speaker 4: anyone else did it. So behind the scenes there's a
Speaker 4: lot of like lonely Jimmy sitting in the thing waiting
Speaker 4: for like eating lunch by myself, waiting for the next
Speaker 4: task to start.
Speaker 2: That's something probably people wouldn't know.
Speaker 4: But then when we got to the studio, there was
Speaker 4: plenty of moments which obviously won't make the cut because
Speaker 4: they got a little bit rude, and you know, they
Speaker 4: gave a bit like not fit for TV seven thirty timeslot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Julia Morris went down a.
Speaker 4: Few rabbit holes of talking about a recent divorce, which
Speaker 4: he does talk about on the show, but this just
Speaker 4: gets a bit a bit too naughty.
Speaker 2: Do you think of other things?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, so there was which didn't make It's
Speaker 4: not in the series, but they get you to do
Speaker 4: these random things. And I didn't even talk to Julia
Speaker 4: about this in the end, but one of my tasks was, right,
Speaker 4: Julia Morris, thirty fan letters, but you can't say that
Speaker 4: it's you. Yeah, so I'm stressfully in like thirty minutes,
Speaker 4: so I got to write one minute a fan letter
Speaker 4: on these pieces of paper, and I'm you know, putting
Speaker 4: crayons and like texters and some decorating with glitter, and stuff,
Speaker 4: and then at the end of the task, Tom Cashman
Speaker 4: pulls out another envelope and says, all right, now you've
Speaker 4: in the next couple of months before we get to
Speaker 4: episode whatever, you have to send them to her, Like,
Speaker 4: actually send your fan.
Speaker 2: Letters to Julian, the real Julia Marris.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, no, so I didn't say anything to her,
Speaker 4: and it didn't pop up in the series because you know,
Speaker 4: they shoot extra.
Speaker 2: Tasks and stuff, you know. So, yeah, but I haven't
Speaker 2: actually spoken.
Speaker 4: To her about it, that she got thirty letters from
Speaker 4: these random people. It's like, I'm made up name, So
Speaker 4: I made up all these different things. I like, put
Speaker 4: lipstick on and kissed one of them.
