1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: This is gam Nation with Jonesy. Well, the Mirror Ball

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: has been one of the absolute highlights of the Master

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Singer this season, brilliant songs night after night, last night,

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: the final night, the mirror Ball saying this brilliant who

5
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: is the mirror Ball? Well, my head came off and

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: it was Melody Thornton from the Pussycat Dolls. Hello, Melody,

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: how are you great?

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: That was such a supreme performance, Melody, you nailed it.

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you so much. I loved that. I went

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 3: out with that song. Like the last two songs were

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: dedications to my mom for sure, and I just loved

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: the mirror Ball and like disco sing it just was

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: really brillian, amazing with that song.

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: How'd you feel inside the Big Head? I know that

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Hugh Sheridan, who was the Rooster, said that early on

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: he felt like pulling out because he was getting claustrophobic.

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: It takes a while to get used to it. How'd

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: you feel inside your mirror Ball?

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: No, it was not bad. Visibility wasn't great. It was like,

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: you know, all of it, just you could see in

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: between the little pieces of mirror. Mine was extremely heavy,

22
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: like crushing my grain. But I didn't feel claustrophobic. There

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: was at one point I was like breathing hard and

24
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: sweating and fogging up, like fogging up the insight of

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: the of the ball and I couldn't see. It was

26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: really crazy, and that was probably the only moment I

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: was thinking, what am I going to do?

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: I know that secrecy is a huge deal for this show.

29
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: It's like going into witness protection. But for you to

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: come from overseas, you couldn't risk being seen, being out

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: in society or be in the social pages. Did you

32
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: have to live very quietly while the production was taking place?

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Definitely? Absolutely yes. So I snuck out to see Elvis.

34
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: Apart from that, I was being so careful, but speaker

35
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: super careful and had like calls delivering my groceries and

36
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: all this good stuff. But yeah, no, you have to

37
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: do that to be really careful.

38
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: Because that would have been a giveaway if we saw

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: you in Aisle five and Coals buying some groceries. Andy,

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,200

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: I was thinking, like I've run into somebody. This is it?

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, you know you know what I mean?

46
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,200

00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: be touring that album?

51
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: You know? I would so, you know, with the pandemic

52
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: and everything, I didn't know what was going to happen.

53
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: I thought like, let's take a shot in the dark

54
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: and and actually putting it out when I did, I've

55
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: never seen that kind of support like a streaming wise. Yes,

56
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,600

57
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: tour Australia, of course, I would love. I would love

58
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: to perform those songs in Australia. Absolutely. I hope that.

59
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: I hope that comes to fruition.

60
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Well, you can also this time go to calls. You

61
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: don't have to worry. You can show your face anywhere

62
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: you like.

63
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: It was and we have and Amanda here, she was

64
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: on Dancing with the Stars and she danced your song

65
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Buttons when we when you were with the Pushy Cat Dolls.

66
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: That's right, every time I hear buttons, I get a

67
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: little bit trigger.

68
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all get triggered.

69
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't my best dance, let's just put it that way.

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: Was it was? It was it a nice experience. So no,

71
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: did you not? Because looking buttons is like it like

72
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: it triggers something inside of you that you know, I mean,

73
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: it can makes you a little bit shy. Actually, well,

74
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: I got.

75
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: My top scores that song. I got my top scores

76
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: with that one, and then it was all downhill from there.

77
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: If you did a song called Wheels Fall Off, that's

78
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 2: why I would have danced to that as.

79
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: God.

80
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,039
