1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: The Life of Liz, which is about to become a

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: stage show.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: Is it a musical god at the moment? No?

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Okay, Liz, Welcome to the studio, Liz. Yes, and you

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: have put together a show for Fringe.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: Yes, my first ever. So it's a bit nerve racking,

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: but I'm very excited. We'll tell us all about it,

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: so believe it or not. I've not always worked in radio.

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: I have backstory here and when I interviewed for this job,

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: I had to tell them my last job was selling

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: a deceased estate of miniature toy cars on the internet.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: It's very specific, it is, and there's a very specific

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: type of buyer of which there's a few listeners that

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: actually I.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Have sold two and this big money and it isn't that.

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: Huge money in it? And I'm very interesting. And I

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: did that full time for six months, and I met

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people and I had a lot of

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: strange experiences, and I figured there was something in it.

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: So I caught up with a friend's sister who's a director,

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: and I told her about it and she's like, let's

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: make a show. So we're making a show and it's autobiographical,

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: but it's a little bit fictional too, and it's sort

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: of about my life over the last couple of years.

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: And I think it'll be funny, maybe a little bit sad,

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: mainly funny.

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Are we in it?

28
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: I actually Russell might be doing some voiceover work. Maybe.

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. You did approach me. You wanted me

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: to be like a DJ.

31
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: So maybe Russell might hear Russell in it.

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: You asked me to come up with a couple of names,

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Yes you did. Sorry, I did. Uh, DJ PayPal, DJ PayPal.

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: There's already a DJ.

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: PayPal, DJ Dadbod I like that. Like that, that's your

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: DJ name apparently. Okay, Well, I don't know. I've just

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: been I was given homework go and find a name

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: for your character.

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: Audio, So you're welcome to I'll have to think of

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: a DJ name.

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: I like Petty LaBelle.

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's fun, sort of a drag drag queen maybe, yes,

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: but yeah, it works for anything.

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: So this is a show basically about your life, which,

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: as we know, is a event slightly unusual life at

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: times over the last couple of years.

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: Yes, so I won't give away too much, but I

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: got I got a medical diagnosis a few years ago

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: that mainly older people would get. And it's sort of

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: like I had to sort of grasp the idea of

51
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: death and mortality. And a lot of the people I

52
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: was selling cars to they're either dead and I'm selling

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: the collection, or they are, you know, a bit older.

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: So I think I had a lot of common in

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: common with them, and we sort of connected on that level.

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: So it sort of about my life, but about their

57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: lives and about connection through cars, little tiny cars of

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: the minuture variety, beautiful.

59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: Matchbox connections connection.

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Are they all matchbox cars?

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: No?

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400

65
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,800
