1
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Hello.

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm Art Simone, a ridiculously talented and gorgeous drag queen.

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Over the years, I've met all walks of life, but

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: even I can still be surprised. It turns out some

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: of the most ordinary looking people can be concealing surprising professions,

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: remarkable hobbies, or downright freaky secrets. Each episode, I'll speak

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: with someone who seems ordinary and appears to have an

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: average life, but they're concealing something that makes them very unusual.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: And the fun party is well, I don't know what

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: they're hiding, and neither will you.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: We get to find out together. Here's how it works.

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: I'll meet the guests, find out a little bit about them,

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: and then ask three questions. From that, I'm confident I

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: can guess what they're concealing from us. Welcome to Concealed

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,520

00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,760

Speaker 2: those three questions and what we've been chatting about, I

69
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: have to try and guess what you are concealing from

00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: like grungy burls. Okay, I know something to say a

74
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: little bit political. I think that that's more interesting.

75
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, of course I love to walk in and

76
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280

00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,400

00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: Look at this happily costumes.

79
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: But I also like to sit an audience said like,

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240

00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: Okay, And another question for you, what is a relationship

88
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: deal breaker?

89
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,520

00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: get along past this point. We just bonded over theater.

92
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: And now what's an issue with the cat.

93
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,920

Speaker 1: to my house.

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: I like cats in other countries, but they shouldn't be

97
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: in this country. They kill all the native worldlide.

98
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 4: I like cats in other Countries' fine, you know.

99
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: We're about to have a domestic We're about to fight.

00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: god stop it, domestic cat fight that. And before I

102
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: take a guess and reveal what you're hiding, I have

103
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: one third and final question to ask.

104
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: Do you have any nicknames? Yeah?

105
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: So, all through my twenties I was referred to as

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: the darkness.

107
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Okay, but I'm.

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: Not really clear on why on my darkness.

109
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: There's two ways when I hear that. There's two things

110
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of. All right, So either you were just

111
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: like a sad sack that like you'd walk in and

112
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: you'd suck the life out of a room. I'd call

113
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: that the darkness, or you were like walking in with

114
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: the caldron, being like, can I just eat my lunch

115
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: out of my caldron and please please leave me alone?

116
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: Neither neither. This is why I can't put my finger

117
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: on it.

118
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: You don't think there's anything at all as to why

119
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: they called you the darkness.

120
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: I thought I was just a chill, little corporate rock

121
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: climbing and you know.

122
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Oh, you mean climbing the ladder climbing.

123
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: No, climbing, rock climbing.

124
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: What you do rock climbing as Oh okay, so I

125
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: was like, what they call it now? You know, climbing

126
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: up the corporate ladder is called rock climbing. No, you're

127
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: actually climbing rocks. Yeah, and that's why you're called the darkness.

128
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: You don't picnic it hanging rock, Like what is going on?

129
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: What I'm trying to say is just at that point

130
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 3: in my life, I feel like I was quite normal

131
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 3: but apparently not.

132
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So you've always stood out a little.

133
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: Bit apparently Okay, So base the information I have absorbed

134
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: from you.

135
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,840

140
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: but witch is like cats, so that's out of the question.

Speaker 2: I put together, all right, I reckon, you're a voodoo doctor.

145
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,440

00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: in fact a taxidermist. Maybe my dream of being a

157
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: human dole person that lives around for the entirety of

158
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,640

00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Oh how do I do it? All right, So we

160
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: have just met nad the taxidermist.

161
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: Now you are not, in fact a voodoo witch doctor,

162
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: but you, in fact are in the world of what

163
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: would you call it preserving animals? I mean it's a

164
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: form of preservation in what they looked like.

165
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Maybe.

166
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: Well, if you're not making crap taxidermy hopefully.

167
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so naturally I am, you're probably here.

168
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm very excited because I found this so fascinating and

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: I can't wait to find out more. So, first of all,

170
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: how did you get into taxi?

171
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: I came down from Brisbane with my corporate job, and

172
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: I kind of was like, ah, you know, I'm in

173
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: Melbourne and I want to creative outlet, something cool. And

174
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, you know, I can't sing or dance

175
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: or draw or what have you, So what am I

176
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: gonna do? And you know, I knew corporate world wasn't fulfilling.

177
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: It started to like go to some shops and they

178
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: sold cool things like a shot amount deer on the

179
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: wall or a cool rug for the floor, or a

180
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: little skull or something like that, and I thought that

181
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: they were beautiful, and in Queensland we didn't really have

182
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: things like that. Queensland's catching up now, but you know

183
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: it's taking a while to evolve in terms of you know,

184
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: different art styles and aesthetic and you know it doesn't

185
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: quite have the same history. So I took a few

186
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: things home and then people would come over and just

187
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,359
Speaker 3: thought it was so horrible and that was so offended,

188
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: and really, like, tell me how offended name were? Yeah,

189
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: they just thought it was dreadful. And I just think,

190
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: like natural history and science and art is like cool,

191
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: Like what are you talking about? And it kind of

192
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: got me thinking, well, I am the darkness. Maybe I

193
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: am a bit werky, maybe I would like to learn

194
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: this and can you learn it? And then I found

195
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: out you hadn't been able to learn it since the

196
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: nineteen seventies in Australia. I meanmember was the last time

197
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: you went to a museum and saw a taxonomy collection

198
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: that had been turned over and looked any good?

199
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Well? I was just to say that the biggest one

200
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: is it Melbourne gone? Is it gone?

201
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 3: Yeah?

202
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Gone?

203
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: Gone? Yeah? Dreadful because everything kind of got outsourced or

204
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: no one was turning over collections. You couldn't learn here.

205
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: And then I was super interested. I'm like, Okay, this

206
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 3: is kind of something that's a bit different. You can't

207
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: learn it? How do I get stuck into that? And

208
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: so I think it came from almost me being stubborn

209
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: and being like, oh, maybe it be kitchen cool. If

210
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: you know, a lipstick wearing blonde learns taxiderm, you know

211
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 3: kind of thing, which is a dumb story in hindsight,

212
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: but that is kind of where it started.

213
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: So then where do you go to learn it? Is

214
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: it like the school of YouTube or I learned how

215
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: to do makeup? Or is it like do you have

216
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: to fly over seas and have someone mentor you.

217
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: There were some people in Australia that are quite prolific,

218
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: so I chose to stalk one of them, sent them

219
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: about two hundred emails of a period of six months,

220
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: and he finally like agreed to like see me. And

221
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: I went out there one day and kind of had

222
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: these little wed shoes on and whatever, and you know,

223
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: you're walking on like the bitumen to get up to

224
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 3: the warehouse factory. Thing must have looked like a baby giraffe,

225
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: you know, on my yah. You know I'm not and

226
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: he's like, you're not going to last a second. And

227
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: then I worked every weekend they're for free for three years.

228
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: Is that to assist in.

229
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to use the term loosely that I was assisting.

230
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: Mainly I was just skinning ducks for the dude, but

231
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: I found.

232
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Do dead. I was actually a duck factory.

233
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was learning a lot, to be clear.

234
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, were you still doing corporate at the same time, Yeah, totally,

235
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: the corporate during the week on the weekends skin and ducks.

236
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. I'm excellent to that.

237
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: I love it.

238
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: And so I took my long service leave. You know,

239
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: I think most people gone a party I'm like, I'm

240
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: going to go to Spain by myself and do taxonomy.

241
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: So I found a mentor over there and he didn't

242
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: speak a word of English and I didn't speak a

243
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: word of Spanish. But he was building a museum on

244
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: the history of hunting. And he let me live with

245
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: his family and we built this museum together. And it

246
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: was such an incredible learning experience because we couldn't even

247
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: speak the same language, but he really wanted to take

248
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: me under his wing and teach me so much. And

249
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: because he wanted to teach me, I was able to

250
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: learn even though we had a language barrier. But kind

251
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: of came back and I'm like, that was such an

252
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: incredible experience. Maybe you don't have to stalk and mental

253
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: and skin ducks for three years and travel to Spain.

254
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: Maybe people would just like to learn from me and

255
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: that'd be a better option, right, And now here we are.

256
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: So do you teach yeah? Yeah?

257
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: Wow?

258
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: How do you bring animals into like taxidermi? Do you

259
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: only do with like Australia natives or I feel like

260
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: there be a lot of rules and things. You know,

261
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: I can't even fly to Tasmania without a sniffer dog

262
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: being like, get rid of that apple, all right, not

263
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: apple for you.

264
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: It's actually quite easy to bring in skins from overseas,

265
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: like you know, a squirrel or a wolf, doesn't really

266
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: matter as long as it's not protected. They can't in

267
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: as tanned skins they pass quarantine.

268
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: I guess that's technically all it is.

269
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: What leather, you know, it's like a coat.

270
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: I guess we look at the because when you do

271
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: a good job, it looks like the entire animal is

272
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: in front of you.

273
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're just dealing with this skin exactly.

274
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: So taxonomy means the arrangement of skin. So taxi is

275
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: a range and dermy's skin. Yeah. Like And interestingly, we

276
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: can mainly only work on introduced species because all native

277
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: specimens are protected. Hence why I hate cats. So we

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: can work on things like your fox. We can work

279
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: on a feral cat. Yes, we can work on pigs whatever,

280
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: not a problem. And so this is the thing. So

281
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: with natives, they're fully protected. And the reason for that

282
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: is because you know, the introduction of species is created,

283
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: you know, such a terrible landscape where we've got species

284
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: going extinct and what have you. If you were then

285
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: to let people preserve specimens. They could say, well it

286
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: naturally died or I found it as roadkill, but then

287
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: they're out shooting it, right, and so in order to

288
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,119
Speaker 3: work on native specimen, and you have to have permits.

289
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: So if you have a cockatoo that's your pet, yes,

290
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: you have a license for it. If it passes away,

291
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: you pass it to my license. I do the work,

292
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: I pass it back to your license for you to

293
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: then display it in your own home.

294
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: So does that mean you have like a taxidermy license.

295
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you have to do a police check and

296
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff in order to get your second.

297
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: Away, like the people in suits being So we'll just

298
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: make them do a police check just in case. You know,

299
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: we've all seen the movie. What do you think is

300
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: the most common animal you have? It's just you say taxidermy. Yeah,

301
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a long word. We've got to

302
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: work on that. Actually, let's send them stuffed. Stuffed even

303
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: better than guy, what's the most common animal you've stuffed?

304
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: Look, now that we do the pet work, heaps of cats.

305
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did you say pet work? Yeah?

306
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: Okay, in my household, we're a cat house, and I

307
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: heard yes, our oldest scales.

308
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: She's thirteen, she's she's doing she's nearly ready.

309
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: And we have said for years that we were like,

310
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: is that even legal?

311
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: We're like, I don't know, but we'd love to get

312
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: it because she's so fluffy, she's so.

313
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: Fluffy and she's such a good girl. We're like, would

314
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: be great just to have her always sitting on the couch.

315
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: Is that is that actually like legal? You can just

316
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: hand you more people.

317
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: Need to know about this.

318
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but crazy cat ladies unite or my cat ladies

319
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: out there, we found the solution.

320
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, but let me.

321
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: So just to quantify that, I don't actually do tax

322
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: it to me on cats and dogs, and what I

323
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: mean by that is I don't do full skin mounts.

324
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: So I'm sorry you can't have your fluffy cat back

325
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: to pat because I feel like you're either two types

326
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: of people. You're either super pragmatic and you're like, wouldn't it.

327
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: Be cooled I have my fluffy cat back and that'd

328
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: be great, or you're like, I'm so deeply traumatized that

329
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: I cannot part with my pet that I am having

330
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 4: trouble letting go and I want my pet back.

331
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: I feel like with pet taxonomy because the skin goes

332
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: back on, it needs to look like your cat, not

333
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: our cat, your cat. And there's something about taxonomy where

334
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: you can't quite capture the personality of something. And so

335
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: we'll happily do skull preservation or poor preservation cremation, but

336
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: I will not do your dog or cat for fear

337
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: of re traumatizing.

338
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, if you don't get

339
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: it exactly right, then you've butchered my life. Right, So

340
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: I guess your work can be quite polarizing. You know,

341
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: you were saying earlier that people would come around to

342
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: your place and be like, I don't know about that.

343
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: Have you faced much pushback from people that don't quite

344
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: gel with what you're doing?

345
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. The first time I experiences was after I

346
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: started teaching, and then I guess because I kind of

347
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: thought it was like a kitchen cute to be teaching,

348
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 3: you know, lipstick wearing, blonde kind of thing. So did

349
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: the media. And the first kind of media I got

350
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 3: was MX magazine. You know, the commuter, like the commuter,

351
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: which is really bad for me because I'm in corporate world.

352
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: So everyone in corporate world would get emes and read

353
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: on the train.

354
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: And were you still in the corporate world. Yeah, it

355
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: was a bit of a transitional.

356
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: Seven years of transit. Wow, okay, okay, And this is

357
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: how everyone kind of found out that I did this.

358
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: And so from that first article is when I started

359
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: getting hates and death threats. And I remember the first

360
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 3: one from that EMES article. A guy went on there

361
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: and he said, I would never wish death upon anyone,

362
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: but Natalie, when you die, I hope it's as painful

363
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: as possible. And so over time I've gotten more and

364
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: more and more obviously yes, and I was like super upset,

365
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, this is devastating and it's not

366
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: fun being kitchen cute, and I need to like figure

367
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: out really quickly what I stand for because this isn't

368
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: like fun. And I guess that's why I've become like

369
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: quite you know, interested in protecting native wildlife and things

370
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 3: like that. But then also I would kind of once

371
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: I started getting over the hurt and the upset, I'd

372
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: be like, who are these people? Like are these vegetarians

373
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: or are these vegans? Or who are they? And I'd

374
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: gone to their profile and it'd be like a western

375
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: metropolitan person you know, and their profile picture would be

376
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: them eating a pie or like wearing leather, and I'd

377
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: be like, what are you talking about? Like you're literally

378
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: eating meat. And I never have had this funnily enough

379
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: from vegetarians or vegans, because lots of our students are

380
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 3: eating plants.

381
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: I think you're going out there and shooting there. No,

382
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: not at all.

383
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: I'm studying animals for a living, like I love animals.

384
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry about that, but at least we can

385
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: bond over that because the amount of shit that I've

386
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 2: had sent to me. I once had to replace Santa

387
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: Claus because they're like, that's just having fun. No, Santa

388
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: Claus going up and down Chapel Street this year, a

389
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: drag queen and a convertible doing all I want for Christmas?

390
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: Is you fun?

391
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: Right? How did that go?

392
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: Not very well?

393
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: I ruined Christmas many times? So the kids the sand

394
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: is not real. But anyway, okay, Nat. So you're talented,

395
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: you know, because you can stuff animals, you can preserve

396
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: skulls and things. Oh who's that artist that I see

397
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: that does the thing where they make them look translucent

398
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: and transparent?

399
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: Oh?

400
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: I bought you one as a gift that I made.

401
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: A get stuff is a little fishy yeah, Oh my goodness,

402
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: you have just handed me what.

403
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: Is this called.

404
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: It's called diaphonization.

405
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it so much. So that

406
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: has just handed me a little jar with a fish

407
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: in it. And the fish is in liquid. But it's

408
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 2: like see through and purple, and I can see its

409
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: eyeball and I can see organs. Oh my goodness, it's

410
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 2: looking at me with its hairy eyeball. It's quite nice

411
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: at the moment. Hello, fish in a bottle that sounds

412
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: like a good song. Fish in a bottle. Fish in

413
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: a bottle.

414
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: So that's still called taxiderm diaphonization.

415
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: So taxidom is just anything with skin on it.

416
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: So what would you call yourself as like an umbrella

417
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: term as a profession.

418
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 3: Then you'd have to say, I do animal preservation. Oh yeah,

419
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: but then I haven't just been doing animals lately.

420
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: Well I'm sorry, what you haven't just been doing animals?

421
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: Tell me more so.

422
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: I have had a few interesting clients lately, some people

423
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: that have just given birth, that have a placenta, so

424
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 3: they've wanted their placenta preserved. I got a I got

425
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: a message last night saying, oh, I hope it's not weird,

426
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: but I had my finger amputated. Can you do something?

427
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, totally, I can do something for me.

428
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: Wait do they have their finger?

429
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on the hospital because.

430
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: Because I feel like the hospital sometimes wouldn't allow you to.

431
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. So some like dentists won't giving you wisdom to

432
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 3: you know, but there it is actually legal. The hospital

433
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: just has to do the work. So the best client

434
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: I had, and I think my favorite work that I've

435
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: done recently, was a client who came to me who

436
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 3: is transgender and had just had a hysterectomy.

437
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: As part of their gender reformation.

438
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Gender reformation surgery, and they wanted their uterus preserved to

439
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: remind them of, I guess, you know, the life that

440
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: they want lived. Yes, and so that was really amazing work.

441
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: And it was really interesting as well because when the

442
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: hospital released all the tissue of the uterus. To me,

443
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: what happens when someone goes through that process is that

444
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: you obviously take a lot of hormones, and hormones can

445
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: speed up the possibility of cancer. And so when the

446
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: uterus comes out, it gets biopsy to within an inch

447
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: of its life to ensure that the person that it

448
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 3: came from doesn't have cancer. And so the uterus came

449
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: to me within like thirty pieces, and I had to

450
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: sew it together and recreate it. And that was really

451
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: that was my favorite work I've ever done, because I

452
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 3: felt that that was so important and I never imagined

453
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: that I would be doing something like that.

454
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, Yeah, because you know, skins is one thing,

455
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: but now you're working on internal organs. Yeah.

456
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I knew you're a witch doctor on you.

457
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: Now.

458
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: I hate death, yeah, you know, I was scared of

459
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: it for so long. Most scary thing in the world

460
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: to me is death. I can't come to terms of

461
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: the fact that just like one day done over. But

462
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: because of that, I feel like everyone around me, you know,

463
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: they'd be quite sad if I disappeared. So I reckon

464
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: it'd be great to have a bit of me preserved.

465
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, what would you give me?

466
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean have many exciting things, like my feet.

467
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: They're really messed up, and I think they'd be really

468
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: good to study because high heels for this long or

469
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: men or men not good. Only two toenails left. But

470
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: that's all very exciting, very comamorates.

471
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: It's good for me either.

472
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: I can teach the people about what not to do

473
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: one thing about me.

474
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: But then also, you.

475
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: Know, I'm thinking, well, you know, I've got giant manhands,

476
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: and I've always thought look really funny with nails on

477
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: them because they've been sweeping things. And I think maybe

478
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: I'd give you a big giant man hand, but this

479
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: with the middle finger up.

480
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: I think could you preserve it like that? Yeah?

481
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: I think that would be a great legacy to send

482
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: on down to the world like a big FuG you

483
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: to the world.

484
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, challenge accepted.

485
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: Here on record, I gift to you my hand.

486
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need quite a big job.

487
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: Actually that was Nat, not a voodoo witch, doctor cat hater,

488
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: but in fact a taxidermist who loves to get stuffed.

489
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: I never knew and have so much in common.

490
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,680
