Yeah, I'm a bit dumb. So I 23 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: just like that. 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: No, everybody asked, what is remedial? What's the difference. 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're not doing, like, you know, massages in 26 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: that dark, little like venue that I walked past with 27 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: the red light out the front. You know, you're doing 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: things in which you can help people. 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: That's right, and you can claim on your health. 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Oh that's good.

I'll give you a nice clean. 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Answer there, shoulders. Okay, just thriting that down. This could 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: be a clue. This could be a clue, shoulders. And 35 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: you used to be a nurse in akasak about. 36 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: With hearts, and. 37 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: So you can do nursing with heart's intensive care. What 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: got you out of it? Too many hearts? Too much love? 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: Well, the other thing that you'd know me for. I 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: would dovetail the two of them. So I eventually got 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: out of nursing because I'd been out of it for 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: probably about five years, and I had to do a 43 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: refresher cause and it was going to cost me ten 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: thousand dollars and I went no, Hence why I am 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: now a medial massage therapy? 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: Yes, speaking of are you and your massage remedial massage uniform. 47 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: At the moment, I wasn't sure when you walked in, 48 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: because you look like you've come straight from work? Is 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: that correct? Or you just wear this? Do you just 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: go to Cols? You like to put it on?

How 173 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: does it work into developing? I guess she's like scripted, 174 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: of course, but how much of that, like, is there 175 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: a lot of development in you working out like who 176 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: she is and what she's going to be like and 177 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: how does that how you develop the character? 178 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: Sure, so. 179 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: To start off with we I think we had a 180 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: big chunk of time where we had rehearsals and your 181 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: work out relationship between the different characters, and we really 182 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: as a series developed, we'd realize, oh, my character would 183 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: never do that or say that or be like that, 184 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: so very much it became what how we reacted. We 185 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: had our scripts always set up underneath the set so 186 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: we could see. We'd be doing the script and watching 187 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: television monitor which was reverse scan, so it looked like 188 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: we're looking in a mirror. So we could often get 189 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 3: some ad lib stuff, stuff that just worked with it. 190 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: And yeah, often scriptwriters a new scriptwriter and write something 191 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 3: because they've been given the brief, and then we'd go, ah, 192 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: my character never to say that, so we'd end up 193 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: rewriting things on the go. Basically, Wow, didn't you have. 194 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 5: A dream about during the world with a rock band? 195 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 4: Oh right, it's it's never got to work. Even the 196 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 4: Beatles started somewhere with music lessons. 197 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: There's no Beatles in you just call quotes you guys mind, 198 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: We've got to practice. How did you develop the voice 199 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: to mix you? 200 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 3: I think that came from being an ID and just 201 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: making funny noises and funny voices, and I think it 202 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 3: was actually a baby voice that I sort of developed 203 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: and then it became Mixy. One time we were showing 204 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: This is Chinese Delegate the studios and they wanted to 205 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: hear me doing the voice, and they actually said, through 206 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 3: the translator, what has she got in the mouth doing? 207 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: What do you mean? What have I got in my mouth? 208 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: How are you making that noise? They said, how are 209 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: you making that noise? 210 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: And surprisingly, it's exactly whatever I'm doing is whatever helium 211 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 3: does dear throat. Ah, So if I suck helium, I 212 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: sound like Mixy. 213 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: Oh when you can just get your vocal cords to 214 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: do that? Can you put an extra dose of helium 215 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: on Mixy? And then she's just super high. 216 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: I've tried that, Yes, I haven't they And then she 217 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 3: talks in a registered and nobody can hear. 218 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: Except the dogs. 219 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: Only the dogs can hear. Only the dogs, only Darren 220 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: can hear. What was it like basically being famous but 221 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: having no one know it? 222 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: Hilarious? 223 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Like would you sometimes be on a telephone and just 224 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: like slip into voice just to like confuse people. 225 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: I would do it for people. 226 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: I'd get people who would request that I ring up 227 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: some and so for their birthday, and so I do 228 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: that for them.

Where are they living? Now? 335 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 3: Well, very sad truth, they went to the next garage 336 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 3: and they just disintegrated, Yes, and they fell apart and 337 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 3: they were on the curb side cleaner. 338 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: Oh not went to the bin. They became an offering 339 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 2: to the landfilled gods. 340 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: So the ones we see today are like remax. 341 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: Well, Mudy isn't and Mixy isn't because they were sort 342 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 3: of precious to Mal and myself and I grew up 343 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 3: with Mao. That's how I learned my puppetry. Really, yeah, 344 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 3: who does Moudy and. 345 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: They? 346 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: I think because Mudy been used for creature features as well, 347 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 3: so those two had been kept at the ABC. The 348 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 3: rest of them were just being thrown out, so that's 349 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: why they were. The Mixy that you see now was 350 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: made for the link, so she's not feralized. 351 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 2: She's not. She's very sweet looking these days, but underneath 352 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: she's not. 353 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: If you had to adapt your character play with her 354 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: a little bit, well. 355 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: Well, I did have an extended season of me just 356 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 3: writing the script for Mixie. We then brought in another 357 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 3: character as well, which was a kangaroo, which Mal did 358 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 3: and it was so it was so boring, just you 359 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 3: talking to camera over and over again. So I developed 360 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 3: for MIXI a little sock puppet called Sally, Sally the 361 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: sock Puppet, which was Mixy's puppet. And Sally the sock 362 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: Puppet was awful. She was a complete b r. She 363 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: screamed at everybody and hated everybody, and it was. 364 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: Fine, and you can be like, well, it's not Mixie 365 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: that's saying it. It's the sock puppet dolls. That's exactly. 366 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 2: It's not me. It's not even mix It's a sock puppet. 367 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: It's hilarious. So yes, that's easy to get around those moments. 368 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: But do you feel a certain level of ownership over 369 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: Mixy one? And what's that like? Because I guess ABC 370 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: owns who are owned. 371 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 3: Oh yes, you said that with a question and voice, 372 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: as everybody does. Because once they went, they can go 373 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: off and to the Skip Pico and go where. 374 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're ready to show it out, like I know. 375 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: So out of integrity, I know Mal wouldn't and I wouldn't. 376 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 3: We wouldn't just go and start our own thing with 377 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: those puppets and make something with them. Why not having 378 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: the money to do it. But I think we've out 379 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: of integrity and for memory sake, we've looked after them 380 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 3: and kept them and I'll bring them out for kids 381 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 3: and do the puppet thing for them and stuff like that. 382 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: But at the moment, the last few years they've been 383 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 3: down in Melbourne at the ACMI, which is Cinema and 384 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: ACME Institute, and they've been on display there. But I'm 385 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: the one they've contacted and I'm the one who signs 386 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 3: all the contracts that it's okay, and if they want 387 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 3: to extend it, they have to get my permission. 388 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: So you like, the rules are, if she comes out, 389 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: you have to be able to do her unless you like, Sorry, babes, 390 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't want her. You get someone else. 391 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: Basically, I get asked, it has been off at all? 392 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: Can we just since you're not about it, can we 393 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 3: just get someone else to do it? 394 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 4: Again't know? 395 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: But that's good though, That's fabulous, because I'd be worried. 396 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: You know, you put in years of work and this 397 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: is your character. You know, it'd be like someone else 398 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: voicing Bart Simpson. Why no? 399 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly the point I made to a friend yesterday. Actually, 400 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: they said, well, couldn't anybody don't know, be like saying, 401 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 3: now Bat Simpson's voice by somebody else? 402 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: You know, because the whole you know, you just know. 403 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: You and you know the character better than it. It's 404 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: not even about the voice, is it. It's like you 405 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: know the character. It's because it's you. I'd like someone 406 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: else trying to someone playing me exactly. I wouldn't let 407 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: that happen. You could put them in the same dress, 408 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: put them in the same makeup, but it wouldn't be 409 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: the same, not at all.
