0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready to meet someone weird?

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to that bit soon, but now it's time

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to faught over me.

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Gordo's at Simone, and being ridiculously good looking

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't the.

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Only thing I'm good at.

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm shockingly good at uncovering who people really are, whether

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.319
<v Speaker 1>it's a naughty little secret or something that they're into

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that's very strange. I will uncover what they're concealing. This

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>is concealed. But met Simone. All right, let's not drag

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 1>on any longer.

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Rall that time?

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Simone and someone you know. You know me very well,

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 4>except there's one thing that I've been concealing from you.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 4>I have a skill that some people consider that I

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 4>am the best in the world are So not only

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 4>do you have to guess what I'm concealing, but you

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 4>need to guess who I am.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>This is cook, Oh my god, this is a horror film.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I guess we're doing things differently here this week.

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>My guest this week is anonymous. So far I don't

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>know who they are. I can't see them. What I

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>have in front of me is a hooded and masked

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>figure scarily looking at me. Across from the studio. I

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>only see two little eye holes, but I can't see

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>beyond them. I see a little flash of a reflection

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.479
<v Speaker 1>from a pupil every now and then, but I'm very,

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>very worried and confused, and I don't know what they

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>sound like because we've got a voice changer on them

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>as well. So that's what's sitting in front of me.

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>But the way we do things that conceal it is

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to ask our guests three questions, and from

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the answers from the three questions, I need to work

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>out not only what they're concealing, but.

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Also how the hell they are.

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>So guest, anonymous figure, scary horror movie person, The first

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>question I have for you is do I know you

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>from this special skill?

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 4>You know me through one of my skills, but the

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 4>one I'm concealing is much more unusual, and no one

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 4>would believe the two can work together.

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, so I know you from a different skill. Okay,

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>two different skill. No one would believe the two could

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>work together. Okay, so the one there, I know you

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>from one skill, but this world's best skill is something else.

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Question number two, anonymous figure, how long have you been

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>working on this best in the world skill.

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 4>I've been perfecting this skill for many years. In fact,

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 4>when I was running around in nature working on it,

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 4>you were busy listening to my chemical romance and learning

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 4>the drums as an instant teenager.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>This is getting creepy. I don't like this. Am I

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>able to leave? Can I quit this episode? Can we

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>end now? When I was a teenager, you were running

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>around in nature perfecting whatever this skill is. Okay, nature?

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh I could be on on the Maybe you are

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a landscaper. Maybe you work for Jim's mowing and you've

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>been doing it since I was fifteen. Okay, okay, all right,

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>final question? Then, a final question I have for you?

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Is you say that I know you? Do we have

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>a relationship you? Or are you someone I know of?

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Birds of a feather flock together?

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, okay, birds of it?

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you must be a drag queen or something

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>related to that, because or you could be you have

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to be a drag queen. I don't know anyone else

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>other than drag queens. I don't have many friends or acquaintances.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is tough. Okay, let's look at our facts.

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I know you from something and something that I do

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>as well, So it has to be drag or performing

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>or just being really sexy. Maybe it's that being sexy people.

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And all right, so you've been doing this your best skill,

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the best in the world's good, been working on since

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I was a teenager, so that was, oh, good luck.

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Over a decade, am I twenty eight? Yep, that's definitely me,

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>all right. And Birds of a Feather okay, So I

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 1>mean I've got nothing, so I'm just gonna do a

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>wild guess. I'm going to say that birds of a

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Feather Okay, you are. It's the thirtieth anniversary of Priscilla. Okay,

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>so let's go Priscilla. Oh my god, I'm going to

0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>say that you are Hugo Weaving and you know how

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to drive bus.

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 3>Hi.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 5>My name is etcetera, etcetera, and I'm an internationally recognized

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 5>drag artist. I know Aunt Simone from season one of

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 5>Ruffle's Drag Race down Under. But what she might not

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 5>know about me is as a teenager, I was an

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 5>avid twitcher, which is the colloquial term for a bird watcher.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 3>Ah.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it's not a Hugo Weaving from the film Priscilla.

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>It's my good friend, it't citra e cra How does

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>she hide this from me? And she twitches? Well, I've

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>always noticed a little twitch, but this is a big twitch.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 2>But how does she do it?

0:05:45.839 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we're not here with Hugo Weaving.

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, it is my drag sister, miss et cetera,

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>et cetera.

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Dowling, how are you?

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Ah?

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 6>Hi on?

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 5>I hope I'm a welcome surprise.

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 6>I hope.

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 5>I just thought you have a successful podcast, though I

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 5>want to slice to the pie and I've come crawling in.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, look, I do have issue because you've done me

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>up in look the looks department. You've done very well

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>with the way you look. But luckily, for a lot

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners, they're just listening. So would you like

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to describe how beautiful you look right now?

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Though?

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I look really beautiful and stunning and gorgeous. I'm

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 5>wearing a large asparagus green vig Yes, I smell a

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 5>little like asparagus too, really, And I'm wearing a beautiful

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 5>multicolored Gingham velvet blazer set with a neon green bias binding.

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 5>That matches my acrylic nails that I have perfectly applied.

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And they are absolutely stunning. So so yeah, look, when

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they said drag queen, I was hoping it would be

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you because they could have, you know, paired me up

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>with some dog that I don't actually like, and they

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>thought I locked because I'm really good at faking everything.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>So it is a happy surprise to see you here

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>today in front of me.

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh, you could sound a bit more genuine. It is

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 5>a happy surprise. Yeah, No, it's great to be here.

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 5>I've been waiting for this day to jump scare you

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 5>on your own podcast, and here we are.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Boom, here we are.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>So you've been concealing a talent from me that I

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>had no idea about. And I feel like I know

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot about you and I've not heard about this.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>And when you first said Twitcher, let's clarify that's nothing

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to do with the platform Twitch, in which people stream

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>gaming on low on.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a nerd, so I don't know what that is. No,

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm joking because my special skill is actually potentially the

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 5>most nerdy thing about me. It is the most the

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 5>most uncool thing about me, and yet the most exciting.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, are you comfortable to share

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this with the world, because I think it's really going

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to paint you in a different light.

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I was rather going to share this. I'm going

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 5>to release my sex tape online, and I thought that

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 5>this would be slightly better for myself and my mum

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 5>probably won't get mad at me. No, my skill set

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 5>is far more tame. It's actually something most people would

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 5>not ever think about in their entire lives.

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>So tell us about twitching.

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>When we're not talking about involuntary convulsions, we're talking about

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>what is that identifying bird sounds.

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 5>So twitching is the colloquial term for people in the know,

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 5>for bird watchers and people who enjoy orthonology, which is

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.320
<v Speaker 5>the study of birds. Twitching is the informal name given

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 5>to people that like to meet up on weekends, go

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 5>out and spot a few birds in the wild, have

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 5>a drummage for a few turkeys in the bush, if

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.839
<v Speaker 5>you pardon the expression. Yeah, So I was a twitter

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 5>as a teenager. I'd go out to the bush with

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 5>groups of men in their late early sixties and I'd

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 5>just have a look through some binoculars for different kinds

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 5>of bird. Species. I'd wander through the paths of wonder

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 5>in my local botanical gardens, hoping to catch a wren

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 5>or a robin or maybe even a rooster.

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've watched a documentary on this exact thing.

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>So're you hanging out with old men in the forest.

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean they were young at heart, but you're

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 5>an old soul. My grandfather used to accompany me to

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 5>make it less weird, and I'd tag along with him,

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 5>so he'd be like, he'd pretend he was more into birds,

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 5>so I would go with him, but he's actually scared

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 5>of birds. So, I mean, the things that people that

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 5>you love do for you.

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>So what sparked this interest of bird watching and twitching.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 5>I didn't have many friends growing up, so a lot

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 5>of time outside just kind of wandering around in the forest.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Now I'm not even joking, this is exactly how. And

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 5>I used to see the birds flitting from tree to

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 5>tree and just thought, Wow, they've got something going on

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 5>that I'd like to have you know some knowledge about.

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 5>And I remember I bought a little field guide of

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 5>birds Australian native birds, and I was like, you know what.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 5>By the end of the year, I'm gonna I want

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 5>to have seen every single one, and I set myself

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 5>a goal and it kind of turned into a full

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:29.359
<v Speaker 5>blown obsession.

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Did the birds take over your lof you know it was?

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Was it all about the birds for a bit?

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 5>It was so about the birds that would I was

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 5>carrying around a fueld guide with me, like to and

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 5>from school to and from like everything I did. My

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 5>parents would have to take it away from me before

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 5>I went to sleep. Like I would be up at

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 5>night looking through my windows with binoculars hoping to catch

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 5>a night jar or a powerful owl or some species

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 5>of that nature. It was really affecting my life. Probably, Yeah,

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 5>obsession is the right word.

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Would you say this is almost like Pokemon, but in

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>real life because you were going through your field book

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>trying what happens when you find one? You just tick

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>it off a list? Do you go and pluck a feather?

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you record the audio to prove that you heard

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it or saw it?

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, people just have to kind of take your word

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 5>for it. But I did have this big almost like

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 5>a spreadsheet printed out onto paper with all of the species,

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 5>and I'd write down the time of the sighting, the

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 5>date of the siding and the location, and then I

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 5>could go back and flick through and have a look

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 5>and reminisce about all the good times I spent with

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 5>all of my bird friends.

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>The bird sounds always the same? Or is there a

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 1>differentiation from bird to bird but on the same species.

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 5>Would you say, oh, bird sounds are so different. You

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 5>would not believe the variety of sounds that birds can make,

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 5>and even within the species, from juveniles to adults, from

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 5>male to female birds. And I used to be really good.

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 5>I used to be so good that I used to

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 5>be able to identify, like whether it was a young

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 5>bird or an old bird, or whether it was a

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 5>bird starting its migration or finishing its migration. These days,

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 5>I've been in the concrete jungle for a while. Now,

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 5>I reckon I can do species. That's what I've got

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 5>under my belt.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Yet would you have to I don't know YouTube to

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>know what sounds you listen for, or because they can't

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>write in a field book, you know cocal like is

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>there a different spelling on how to describe the sounds?

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 5>Or that's where you're so wrong art? And I wouldn't

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't blame you as a as a novice in

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 5>this field. But there there are phonetic spellings different joke, Yes,

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 5>in the field, guy, there's phonetic spellings like a.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, like they.

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 7>Spell it t W I T with a little like

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 7>little lats or anything, or it's just a wash with lauch.

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 7>Oh way, Yeah, it's really They've almost built another language

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 7>for me.

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 5>Top. And I didn't just listen. I spoke back. I

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 5>would know you're not hearing me, I would I learned

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 5>the language of the birds. Wow, so fluently?

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Could you have conversations with them?

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, he's actually a funny story. When I was in

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 5>primary school, I was in year six and I had

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 5>not many friends because I'd repeated year six, that boring story.

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 5>Who cares? But I would spend all of my lunchtimes

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 5>on the school oval and bird watching, of course, and

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 5>there was this little pod of magpis that would gather

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 5>every lunchtime and kind of scuttle around, and I started

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 5>talking to them, you know, giving them at Oh.

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>That's actually very good.

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I used to be better before my voice broke.

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 5>But you know, birds don't go through puberty apparently. Anyway.

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 5>I would sing to the magpies and feed them little worms,

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 5>and they used to come up to me and we'd

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 5>have little conversations and hang out at lunchtime. It was

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 5>all great until one day I was sitting in class

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 5>and I heard a tapping on classroom window and all

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 5>of the magpies were outside the window tapping. And then

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 5>they one day they came into the school corridors and

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 5>started tracking me down to find me in the classroom.

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.719
<v Speaker 5>And after that I was banned from speaking to the magpies.

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, because yeah, I really, I kind of like

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 5>indoctrinated them a bit, and I think I made them

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 5>dependent on me like some big mother bird.

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Could you give me because I'm just so impressed by

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>your magpie, could you give me a couple of other

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>bird noises for me?

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 5>I could give you. Okay, let me give you a

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 5>yellowtail black cockatook Okay wait wowow okay is that one?

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 5>I've got an eastern whip bird Okay, okay, okay. Oh,

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 5>I'll do a lie bird, but I'll do a liarbird

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 5>that is copying me. Hi, my name's etcetera, etcetera. That's

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 5>what a liarbird would say if it was around me.

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>And what would a libird sound like copying you doing

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>an Eastern whip thing.

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 5>Probably that they actually make chainsaw noises and everything. It's

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 5>kind of crazy. You can be in the bush and

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 5>you just hear like a chainsaw running and you're like, well,

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 5>they're coming to get me.

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>So has there been any moments in your life where

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>your special skill has come in handy as a twitter?

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 2>No, except for this moment right here.

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, actually, the only moments that I think it has

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 5>been good is kind of like at a party, you

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 5>do an ice breaker to get to know people and

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 5>hopefully get them to like you. When I meet someone

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 5>at a party and I want them to leave me

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 5>alone immediately, I just start talking about it. Hey, do

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 5>you know what I was a teen interested in birds?

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Do you want me to do some bird calls for you?

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 5>Suddenly know what to be seen? It's perfect.

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>So I want to clarify something because in your introduction

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you did say you were the best at the world this.

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Now do you officially hold this title or are we

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 1>just leaning into your own delusion?

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 5>I would say I would say out of those in

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 5>the world who do it, there, I would be fairly good.

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 5>If you put us all in a room together, I

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 5>would be one of the one of the top hundreds.

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>What this sounds like, sounds like you've lied on your

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>resime just to get on the podcast.

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 5>Is this true? Well, you did ask me to impersonate

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 5>a liar bird, didn't you? And I'm a bird that lies.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>So you haven't stayed in the field of bird watching

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know bird calls. You've moved into a different career,

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>which I don't know if I'm outing you here, but

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is drag You are a drag queen?

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god? How could you tell?

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Do you.

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Think there's any crossover there's been any crossover for you? Like,

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>have you been able to identify drag queens squawking down

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Oxford Street? Or is there any kind of integration between

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the two industries.

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, to be honest, most drag queens are too

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 5>broke to afford nice feathers, So normally I'm just seeing

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 5>a chicken or a maraboo strutting around, which isn't the

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:26.919
<v Speaker 5>most exciting bird.

0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 4>Look.

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 5>To be honest, it's all color and movement. It's all

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 5>color and movement, And I think I've become the bird,

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 5>like a magpie or a little bower bird collects little

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 5>trinkets and things for their nest to increase the chances

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 5>of being able to find a mate. I collect little

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 5>things so I can increase my chances of maybe one

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 5>day owning property in Sydney. Yeah, and that's that's my version.

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 5>One day I will be a bird enough to buy

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 5>a house.

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to put your claims to the two because

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 1>I still don't believe any of this. All right, So

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 1>what I'm going to be doing is playing some bird

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>noises for you, and you have to identify what bird is.

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Can you do that? Oh?

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, Yeah, I'm fully prepared. I've got it. I've got

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 5>it on lock.

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, first bird sound effect?

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh okay, now let me tell you what that is.

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.199
<v Speaker 5>You may not know it from my earlier impression, but

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 5>that's an Eastern whipper.

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 2>That is an Eastern whip bird.

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you've got that one one down, all right, Yeah,

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you can still have your claim to fame.

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Sound number two.

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:51.359
<v Speaker 5>Here we go. Yep. You'd think that was my knees

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 5>when I stand up, but that's actually a ganggang cocka.

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that is correct.

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I also would have accepted one of the fung guy

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>people from the last of us, the clickers would accepted that.

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:05.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's good.
