Speaker 2: We are doing all right, very well. I mean when

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: you and I don't it sounds like a terrible pun

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: when you ignited Australia with your terrible choice of words,

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 2: with your incredible work that you did. I mean, who

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: knew that COVID was just around the corner? So did

16
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: you have to cancel all your plans?

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Oh gosh everything, And yes, everything was canceled. Like everyone,

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: I guess it was kind of crazy. Bit it was

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: that slow burn again probably shouldn't say slow burn of

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: going Oh that job stopped on and I'm not going

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: to America for all of those Oh god, it all

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: just kind of flowed down a bit. But like everyone,

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: I guess.

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Well, Lucky for you, though, you have such an incredible

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 2: social media presence that you could keep all of that going.

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: What's been your some of your favorite ones? What's the

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: stuff you've really enjoyed, because some of them just look

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: very physically painful.

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Some of them are quite painful, Like, yes, sometimes I've

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: physically made myself and then I'm like, oh, I'm not

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: getting paid for this. I don't know why I'm doing this.

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: There's one that I have done. One of my parody

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: photos that I did is I think like back in

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: the beginning, so like six years ago, and it's a

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: model Kate Hudson, No Kate Upson getting out of a

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: pool and she looks unbelievable, just all sexy in effortless

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: getting out of the pool. And I did a parody

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: it of me getting out of the pool, which is,

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, my swimmers up, my balm, my legs thrown

40
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: over the side of the pool, a real effort and

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: just like everyone gets out of a pool. And that

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: one still to this day because it's really simple. It

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of it makes me laugh at them. The other

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: ones that makes a loadorbike screaming and all that. That's fun.

45
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: Well, one I just always you make me happy when

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: I look at your Instagram. I love the one that

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: I don't know what it's called, but it's that lady.

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: She's doing some sort of yoga dance and a hair

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: is tied to a rope hanging from the ceiling. So

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: she's all life and she's doing this stuff. And then

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: you and you're in this like horrible looking garage.

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: And cooked my garage fortunate.

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: So your own garage, and You've got the rope on

54
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: your hair, and I'm thinking, oh my god, that would hurt,

55
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: like nobody's.

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: That did hurt? Like no, I know the one you're

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: talking about. I did that one recently. She's this French

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: ballerina kind of performance artist and she's just so effortlessly

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: got her hair tied up to a rope and just

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: balleting around the studio. And I then tried to do it,

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and it feels like an outtake of The Handmaid's tail

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: or something I've done. And my husband put gaffer tape

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: around my nonexistent wheak hair and tied it up. I did.

64
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: I had that moment again where I was like, I'm

65
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: not getting paid to do this, Why am I doing this?

66
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: And then when I cut it together and I see

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: that it's really funny, I'm like, oh, that's why I'm

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: doing it.

69
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: So with your tool, what's the stuff that what's your

70
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: content for a bitter word, what's the stuff that's making

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: you laugh and that you want to comment on?

72
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, I find it there because you know, it's all

73
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: been sitting inside for the better part of two years

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: staring at the wall. I know I have so and

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: so much is going on while we've been kind of inside.

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: So I've got a fair bit to say about that.

77
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm very interested how influencers who I would say have

78
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: quite a limited skill set and now also anti vaxxers

79
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: and scientists. That's very interesting to me all of a

80
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: sudden that they know more than the smartest people in

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: the world. I've got a bit to say about that.

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: My shows are very physical. I love to run around

83
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: and scream at people, much like Lockdown, but this some

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: of screaming at people who paid for me to do it.

85
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: So that's good.

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: You've got two sons, and you're also stepmom to two children.

87
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: I mean, from the outside, I think they must think

88
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: you're the most wonderful, hilarious, cool woman in the universe.

89
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: But are they like most kids and they're just embarrassed

90
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: by mum? How do they respond to it all?

91
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, absolutely. I have heard out of my ten

92
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: year old son's mouth more often than not him say,

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: oh Mom, can you not? So there's a I'm not

94
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: cool yet, So they're am My boys are ten and seven,

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: so I'm not it's not cool. You know, having me

96
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: as their mom hasn't got currency yet. I mean having

97
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: two kids books helps, but overall the I mean they've

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: got excellent sense of humor, my boys, which is great.

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: So they laugh when I say I'm doing my staff with.

100
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 3: Step kids, because you've got a bit of a Brady bunch,

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: a mini Brady bunch going. So you got the two

102
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: step kids. How do you go with that as a stepmom.

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Well, so I've got two step daughters and they are

104
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: quite a bit older. So the oldest is twenty two

105
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: and the youngest is twenty. But I've had them since

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: they were two and four, so they've been through the

00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: whole thing when they were Yeah, it all kind of

108
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: kicked off when they were teenagers. All of my stuff,

109
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, people starting to know who I was on Instagram,

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: so it was good. I used it as currency. Then.

111
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: I remember saying to them once. I was like, if

112
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,000
