🎵 Turn to everyone 🎵
🎵 It's supposed to be you 🎵
🎵 🎵 This person will kill you. Another day looking beautiful. You know, when you look me in the eye and say that,
I'm going to think you're talking to me.
Am I looking you in the eye right now?
Yes.
I just couldn't tell.
Is my face directed towards your face?
Yes.
Good, good, yes.
Oh, my God.
Excellent.
What's up?
I'm so glad to be with you, my sister.
It's a new year and it's a new me.
I've resolved to do a few things this year.
Be more confident.
Put more faith in me.
Is that possible?
Just take, you know, I put other people's needs before my own for too long.
And now I'm going to be number one.
Yeah.
That's me.
You know, that's self-care.
Oh, wow.
So this is the new 2024 me.
What do you think? Quite similar to new 2024 me. What do you think?
Quite similar to the 2023 you.
What do you mean?
The bashful, quiet, young ingenue that everyone's come to love through DTE.
What about you?
Who are you now?
Who am I looking at, supposedly?
Well, I've thought about renovating the swamp.
That's not my swamp, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe this year I could be more of an alligator in the swamp. Did you see that Taika Waititi and Rita Ora went to go and stay at that Airbnb that looks like a Shrek swamp?
No.
And she got there and put herself in Shrek green makeup to look like Fiona.
And then she forced him to dress up
like Shrek? I didn't
see that. No. I did.
And now I have to put caustic acid in my
eyes every three to five hours.
Did anyone put a comparison
of Heidi Klum and Rita Ora
as Shrek woman
next to each other? No.
It's not fair to compare. Okay, true.
Just like putting Heidi Klum next to other worms.
She's always going to look better.
I do love worms.
Famously, would eat.
Of course.
Sister.
Yes.
We have our first special guest for the year.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh my God.
This show is called Death Day, everyone.
I'm Lazy Susan.
I'm Zadavin.
And we do have a very special guest.
And the first guest of the year.
And it is my pleasure to welcome our Adelaide sister, Miss Eval.
Hello, this is she.
Miss Eval, I would say you're part of the Adelaide dynasty,
part of the Mary's Poppin' crew.
Yes, I am.
I'm a 31-year-old man from Adelaide, South Australia,
commonly regarded as the most beautiful woman in Australia.
You kind of are.
According to whom?
Myself.
I was showing a gal at work who I talked about the pod.
I was like, oh, we have a guest on this week, blah, blah, blah.
And then I was like, went on your Instagram to show her.
And I was like, I'll just show you the story. I'm sure there'll be something there. And it was you performing and I was like, went on your Instagram to show her. And I was like, I'll just show you the story.
I'm sure there'll be something there.
And it was you performing.
And I was so mad.
She was like, wait, do you not like her?
And I was like, no, she's obviously incredible.
She was talking about this.
She was like, she did look flawless. And she was doing Christmas numbers.
And it made me angry.
Because it's so good.
No, thank you.
Starting to sweat. Yeah, Yeah, I think you suffer from being very beautiful
How's that? What's that like?
It's really hard
You know, people don't take me seriously as a comic
Yes, of course
And what is the cost of beauty to your comedy career?
It's non-existent at this point.
We need to work on this.
So tell me about Adelaide.
You're the first Adelaide guest.
So what's happening?
Adelaide has a pretty divy reputation.
The city of churches.
Because famously it's where all the Christian...
Serial killings.
Oh, what?
You go.
I'm looking at me with your... Christian. All the Like the Christian Serial killings Oh What? You go Christian You know like
When the
You know when the
There was the
The colonization of Australia
And instead of convicts
Coming and settling
You know
Adelaide is the one place
We're free settlers
We're free settlers
Yeah
Well not we
I wasn't there
You weren't there
I don't believe it
But yeah
The only free settled city Yeah I believe, in Australia.
Which has got to do, like, that's got to be the church.
Yeah, there was a massive religious boom.
And you've got to imagine the people that, you know, are like,
well, I want to go to the complete other side of the world,
to a place that isn't on maps and just check it out.
Yeah.
So naturally it is the most boring place in Australia.
Yeah, the crime rate though. The so out. Yeah. So naturally it is the most boring place in Australia. Yeah, the crime rate, though.
The soaring.
Yeah.
So there was the bodies in barrels, Snowtown.
Yeah.
And then what else?
The family murders was a big one.
What were the family murders?
There was a prominent newsreader in Adelaide,
and his son went missing.
But it was part of a spate of disappearances and it's never been solved.
And do they think it was him?
Well, no, he didn't kill his own son.
Well, what a perfect cover.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Wow.
But, yeah, it was a big thing.
Very sad.
The Beaumont children, they're still missing.
Oh, yeah, they went to the beach that day.
Yeah.
Oh, let's go to the beach.
Beach.
Let's go get away.
We do have lovely beaches.
Yes.
And the wineries.
And the German town.
Mm-hmm.
Randorf.
And what's the Grindr like?
What's the grid?
Very sad.
Well, what you, because we, okay, this is a little bit of backstory on why we're all
here and how we all know each other, is that when we went to Adelaide to do Adelaide Fringe, which is the second largest fringe in the world, I'll have you know, second only to Edinburgh.
Then we went to your home bar, your home club, Mary's Poppin'.
We all met in the dressing room.
It also has the best dressing
room of any drag bar in the country to my estimation are you are you angling for sponsorship
i swear to god this is just true because i have gotten dressed in so many shitty like yeah
back back offices like on a keg like yeah yeah yeah no if we had you at the beast uh i don't think we would have you at
the beast again i don't think i would agree to that but oh my god so we the first year that we
met you we were with benign girl second year we had androgyny with us because benign girl dad
um quit drag she was part of those family murders But
It is Eve right
It was you know what I'm about to say
Oh no
One of my favourite
Maybe ever drag memories
Is that we are
Honoured guests
At Mary's we're performing
We're like what was it the first
Year how did we get I don't know we were just like Performing at Mary's we're performing we're like what was it the first year how did we get I don't know
we were just like performing at Mary's we get there and we're meeting all the girls for the
first time I can't remember if it was before or after the show but we're in the dressing room and
Eval looks Benign Girl up and down and says to her so how long have you been doing this
and for context Benign Girl was wearing like a French-A-Penny dress,
like spaghetti straps over her massive ass.
Yeah.
Just some heels falling off her feet.
Blonde wig with some butterfly clips in.
A huge tit bib as well.
Yeah.
The titty bib.
Well, she had the t-shirt style, you know.
The bib is back, I think.
The bib is back in a big way.
Yeah.
But, yeah, she had a tiny
little um tiara in her head um and that was when you truly won my respect yes yeah i love her to
death she's don't get me wrong i just think it's so funny that's very grand incredible um because
i think as well that's the thing that really struck me about Adelaide. It's just the, the finish on the girls. Like,
like,
yeah,
everyone's very put together.
Adelaide has.
Are they?
Well,
yeah,
I think.
I mean,
it spends more time in Melbourne.
Like,
even like,
I mean,
I think like it felt greyhound,
like Mary's feels greyhound-y to me.
And then it's just like elevated.
So we look like dogs to you?
The racetrack.
Yeah.
But, yeah.
Anyway, so what we...
So you're fans.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, anyway.
All of that to say.
Fans.
Big fans of evil.
And evil.
Do you...
What's...
Where did you...
How did you come up with your name?
I actually didn't come up with it
My drag mother
And I'm using air quotes
Molly Morphine
She came up with it
I had a different name that I was going to go for
And she was like
Oh, don't do that
What was your drag name?
I have tried to hide this for a long time
There's only maybe one or two drag queens in Adelaide that know.
Juliette Karp.
Horrible.
Okay, love this.
Aura.
Aura Lasex.
Aura Lasex, like oral sex.
Yeah, and the looks on your faces right now.
I was ready to laugh and then I heard it.
Yeah, no, that's what I said.
It's just awful.
It's not even awful in a good way.
No, I think it is.
I think Lasex as a last name is very good. It's not even awful in a good way. No, I think it is.
I think LeSex as a last name is very good.
It's a bit Kylie Minogue.
Yeah, she's LeSex.
But that's not me.
I'm a spinster.
Yeah, well, we always have like the definition of like whether someone's real horny or fake horny.
And yeah, in drag, like people,
there are drag queens that have a real horny energy
and then drag queens that have like a kind of like, ooh, sexy.
So whenever I do anything like that's like horny, it immediately reads as fake horny
because I just don't think Lazy Susan has an ounce of genuine interest in sex or sexuality.
And that's how people feel about her as well.
Actually, well, okay, let me, did I tell this story?
I feel like.
This.
No.
No, just that I was seeing, putting air quotes around that one as well,
seeing this like bisexual man for a while, like just off and on.
And I was like, he like, I don't know.
At some point during the conversation, like arose about drag and he knew that I did drag.
And I was just like, oh, it's so funny.
Cause sometimes like, obviously my drag sisters will have guys like going for them based on
this kind of like, well, maybe you could put on the titty bib tonight.
Maybe you can put on the long foray.
I'm hoping that it's going to be there like fantasy.
And I was like, I think it's so funny because like Lazy Susan is so not that.
Like it's like a woman huffing a cigarette in a suit.
He's like checking you out at the grocery store.
But then he was like, I don't know.
I think Lazy Susan's pretty sexy.
And it's like the blood drained out of me.
The blood drained out of me So clearly he'd been angling for a while for some sort of, yeah
I mean, she could probably be a dominatrix
I thought you were going to go in the other direction
There's a term that I only just heard
Queen-zoned
Queen-zoned?
It's like being friend-zoned, except because you're drag queen
Yes, oh my god. That's so good.
I've been looking for a phrase for this for a long time.
Because so much of my life has been queenzoned.
I can imagine.
Once they see the drag.
Have you been queenzoned?
Yeah.
We've all been queens.
Oh, yeah.
It's a real thing you didn't.
Less now.
Yes.
I know.
I thought about fucking your ass
But then I thought well she's just so fabulous
How long have you two been doing drag?
I've been doing
Oh my god I just did my audition
Eight years
You've been doing it a year long
Nine years
How long have you been doing it?
How old are you?
I'm 32
And you're 35 Yeah Little babies How long have you been doing it? How old are you? I'm 32 32 and you've been doing it for 8 years
And you're 35
35
I'm 31 and I've been doing it for nearly 15 years
Wow
Jesus
So that's almost pre-Drag Race
Or is that pre-Drag Race?
I hadn't actually watched it before
When I started doing drag
And when I started doing drag
It wasn't actually cool to do drag No it was it was it was queen's own city yeah it would have been like
very like oh that's your kink i guess like yeah well the the t-word was used a lot around that
time yeah nobody uses that now no no no but uh i did frequently get asked if i was yeah yeah
yeah interesting i mean like which is a compliment to me oh i think it's stunning beautiful woman I did frequently get asked if I was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. T-word. Yeah, interesting.
Which is a compliment to me.
Oh, I think you're a stunning, beautiful woman.
But so then you started in Adelaide 15 years ago.
You would have just seen the whole scene change.
Yeah, right.
All the gals getting into drag just with the sole purpose
of becoming famous drag queens versus...
Yeah, so people used to just get in drag to go out and get pissed. Yeah, yeah. with the sole purpose of becoming famous drag queens versus... Yeah.
People used to just get in drag to go out and get pissed.
Yeah.
Which was why I got into it to begin with.
Couldn't agree more.
Did it try and win free beer from Karen from Binance?
Did Adelaide go through... Did they used to have more venues and they've closed over time
or has it always been just like one or two?
Yeah, there used to be one and then that kind of reached its peak and uh there was a bit of an
overlap and mary's opened and that one went under and someone reopened it and then it didn't last
and now there's another venue um so there's only ever a very small opportunity to do drag
yeah unless you create your own opportunity.
I guess for people working in drag, it's just people doing Mary's
and then a few other little bits and bobs around.
And do you feel responsible for gatekeeping drag?
Yes, absolutely.
If I don't do it, who's going to keep the gate?
Oh, God.
That's so wild.
But yeah, I think if someone told me at the start of doing drag
how much it was going to affect my love life,
I probably wouldn't have started.
Like, I think I just had to be a certain level of oblivious.
I guess I just, you know, I value my drag a lot more than that.
I value my drag more than I value dick.
It's my art.
Yeah.
No, someone sincere.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing is that it's not just like the desexualization.
It's the time factor and it's the, yeah,
like absorbing every spare minute that you have.
And money.
Yeah.
Sick of being poor because of drag yeah yeah i mean i'm not poor
i would never be oh that's well actually though because i would like because in the dark is based
out of adelaide no it is now yeah yeah so a of like, even though Adelaide is not like the, you know, gay capital, it does
have the touring company that brings every major drag queen down under.
So like, I guess it does.
I mean, there is that appeal to Adelaide of like working there, you kind of are, you know,
base command for drag in Melbourne, like in Australia broadly, like the touring girls.
It's sort of come to be that way.
Yeah.
But I think there was just an opportunity that someone saw in Adelaide
for a hole in the market.
Yeah.
And even after Mary's opened, things were still being run out of Melbourne.
But during COVID, it made more sense operationally to jump over to Adelaide.
And Adelaide's got a bad reputation, but it's actually a really gorgeous place to live.
You can get anywhere in like 30 minutes.
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
And the rant is much nicer than here.
And the whole city
Is surrounded by a garden
Yeah
Although
The grid
The grid
Oh yes
So Adelaide is
It was designed
In a grid formation
Not designed on a grid
Jesus Christ
Jesus
Now we are here
To do one thing
And one thing only
On this gorgeous
Audio program Which is We are the Now we are here to do one thing and one thing only on this gorgeous audio program,
which is we are the two celestial beings and our gorgeous guests, the forces of Evel.
We'll be deciding today what gets into a bunker that is saved from an apocalypse of some description,
which I would like you to now, Miss Evel, please kindly describe.
What is your apocalypse?
What are you doing to the world?
So I had this incredible idea
for how the world is going to end.
I think it's a classic.
Perfect.
It started when I saw a TikTok of this poor, poor woman who had...
Are you fans, Elders?
No, I saw her on the grinder grid um this poor woman who had her face mauled by a chimpanzee in the u.s and the the way they described her so savage
that it tore off her face um tore off her fingers she's only got like a thumb or a finger on each hand.
And it also infected her eyes with some kind of disease in the process,
blinding her.
And I thought, yes, well, that does fill me with terror.
And they could easily do that.
They could all evolve or rise up and do that like in the Planet of the Apes.
Yes.
Franco is there.
I haven't seen the new one.
You've seen the old one.
Not the gross Charlton Heston ones.
He's a gun freak.
Wait, so which ones?
Oh, like the Tim Burton ones.
No.
Oh, yeah.
The Tim Burton with Mark Wahlberg.
Yes. And Helena. Baby voice. He was at his peak. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yes. Yeah. Tim Burton with Mark Warburg. Yes. And Helena.
Baby voice. He was at his peak.
Yeah. Baby voice.
Helena Bonham Carter was there. Yeah.
Baby face.
The witch.
That's good. But it's a Taylor Scholler's time.
Yeah. Apes go crazy
and tear off everyone's faces.
Yeah. And there's no one to perform the
life-saving surgery and face transplant that they gave her.
Yeah.
And she does look great now.
Have you seen?
I have seen.
I hope she doesn't listen.
Not what she does.
Oh, she can't see.
But in her good ear, yeah.
Have you seen?
I know not what you say.
Hannibal?
Yes. You know Mason Verger who, like, Have you seen I know not what you say Hannibal Yes
You know
The one with
Mason Verger
Who like
You know
Has the face
And gets fed
The peach
And he's like
She's got that kind of like
Plastic surgery
Yeah
Pieced together face
Yeah
Which I think
Like do you reckon
Like when I see that face i'm like
maybe like with the right beat you could sort this out kind of quick yeah like a good contour
send in a drag queen put that on drag race yeah make that the makeover challenge face transplant
people come in and get drag race and they're like now your name is kimberly let's sex get in here
aura and kimberly yeah and then suddenly, you know what?
I have the confidence to go on.
Yeah.
Slay, but not in the way that that monkey tried to do to you.
No.
Coming down the runway.
My God.
Yeah.
I agree.
Okay, that is a really good one.
We haven't had a Planet of the Apes.
And obviously some lucky humans would retreat into the bunker.
The bunker, yes.
The rest would either be maimed, murdered or enslaved.
Oh, good.
Yeah, yeah.
No, that's good.
And that's, I wonder where the apes are coming from.
Like in Melbourne, we have the zoo.
What's the zoo in Adelaide?
The zoo.
We have the Adelaide Zoo.
I haven't been.
I've meant to go both years.
You've meant to go both years to the Adelaide Zoo?
Yeah.
Well, I haven't been for maybe 16 years, so I couldn't say.
But there are pandas.
Longer than you did.
Yeah, there's a reason.
There's a crossover.
See, it's taken over your life.
No, I just don't want to get near those apes.
Damn dirty apes.
Okay.
Wait, so you haven't seen the original Planet of the Apes?
No.
There's like six originals.
There's six or five.
I don't know.
I watched them all maybe two years ago.
Planet of the Apes.
God, I don't know their names.
They're amazing.
That first one really freaked me out.
Oh, it was so scary.
I had so many nightmares.
And then the new ones.
There's a new one coming out next year.
I really relate to those people playing the apes in the movie
because they're in that full sunlight and that awful heavy makeup it's like going to midsummer like
not about that see i have a generalized anxiety disorder so the fear is there and it is real
generalized anxiety disorder oh tell me you know what anxiety is. I've not experienced it myself. Oh, my God.
Zelda, you definitely know what anxiety is.
Oh, thank you.
It's just that, but in a general sense.
There's just a general wash.
Anything could be.
Do you find that drag helps or hurts with that?
Helps, actually.
Like when you're in drag, you're like, as you are now.
Yeah.
When I'm in drag, I'm unstoppable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't care who I insult.
Yeah, yeah, yeah I don't care who I insult Yeah, yeah
Benign girl
Who's this hag from Melbourne?
Get out of my dressing room
And then a lash comes up and you're like
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that
Wow, interesting
I'm learning things all the time
That's quite good
Monkey mole
Yeah
Okay I love it Now let's head into our very first subject for discussion That's quite good. Monkey Mole. Okay.
I love it.
Now let's head into our very first subject for discussion.
But first we'll take a quick break.
Quick break.
And we'll be our beer.
That means be right back.
To the world.
To the world.
To every world Okay, everyone, welcome back.
Hello.
Well, here we are.
So, first subject up for discussion here today.
Sheldon, I'm throwing to you because I can't remember what it was.
Well, buckle up because you might be interested in joining a cult.
Which cult?
Which cult will be going into the bunker?
Or like concept of cult.
I'm going to start us off with a strong one.
Okay.
Beauty loop.
Mecca's beauty loop.
Mecca's beauty loop. Are you familiar with it?
Yeah, I am familiar
These six sad individuals running through the night
Is it just because you don't spend enough to be a level one?
I'm a level five
I'm a level five, as in a five-fingered discount
Eval, are you a Beauty Loop member?
No, I don't shop at Mecca
Where do you shop?
Online
What's that?
Internationally
Wait, really?
Yeah
So you're just typing makeup.com
No, I just buy stuff from other retailers
Makeup.com
Yeah
Do they have a Kryolan in Adelaide?
We have a Kryolan, yeah
There's a few Meccas.
Interesting.
See, I've pretty much been in a cult before,
so I'm not easily going to be roped back into something like that.
Okay.
Okay, what about...
Now you've dropped that mic.
No, no, I'm sorry.
What was this cult?
Oh, I can't really talk about it.
Oh, my God, yes. No, it's nothing like sorry. What was this cult? Oh, I can't really talk about it. Oh, my God, yes.
No, it's nothing like that.
Flybys, I do.
That's just good value.
Baby Slut loves her flybys.
Yeah.
No, I grew up in the Pentecostal church.
So it's not really.
That's cult.
It's not your classic cult.
It's like the world's oldest cult
Yeah, but it is so culty
Was it like, because the Pentecostals, what's their point of difference?
Yeah, what's the
It's like a Christian rock band and stuff
Oh, it's like the like
New Age
Yeah, right
So where does that sit relative to like Planet Shakers and all of that?
Is that Pentecostal?
It could be adjacent
Like the mega church
Yeah
It's like a, oh, what's Gomo's church called?
Hillsong
Hillsong
It's that kind of vibe
Where, you know, it's all song and it's designed to get you up on your feet
And you're, you know, waving your arms
And you're like, yes, I can feel it, I can feel it
And you're talking in tongues and, you know, yes, I can feel it, I can feel it, and you're talking in tongues and that kind of thing.
Have you talked in tongues?
No, no, I'm not lingually that talented.
Well, that's it.
We need Miss Oral.
Yeah.
Wow.
And then my mum is still a member of the church.
But she's an ally, ally, ally.
We love her.
And any time we have to go back to the church for, like,
a family funeral or, you know, something, everyone's like,
hi, welcome to the church.
It's nice to see you here.
We always love to see new faces.
And, yeah, there's just this, like,
pull that they're trying to, like, drag you into the fold.
It's a very intense and
strange energy that's so when did you pull away was it when you were like so my day break free
my dad isn't uh religious so he was kind of like the the light that you know my siblings and i
looked to yeah um and so you know we were raised going to the church with mum.
Dad would not go.
So we're like, there is an option.
What's going on here?
And so each one by one, I'm the youngest of four children,
and as we turned 13, we were given a choice if we wanted to keep going or not.
That's good.
And one by one, we were like, bye, see ya.
So no one stayed.
No one stayed.
Oh, mum. Yeah. That yeah that's good though and so were
you the only queer in the family uh that i'm aware of wow yeah brother sisters uh brother and two
sisters and i'm the youngest so i had a friend for me i don't believe that for a second i had a friend from uni who his he his whole family was really in the church
really christian up in like sydney the beaches and the mom and dad got divorced the dad stayed
in religion she went off and she became a late in life lesbian and then one by one each of the four children of which he was the youngest all came out until
there was only one brother left in the church and he was like hardcore youth counselor vibes
in this big super mega church until he was 28 29 and then he came out as gay oh good for him and
everyone so there's two lesbian girls the lesbian mom and the two gay sons
is that not intense what's in the water i wouldn't want to compete for attention
over some other gay in the family true i don't know how i feel about are they all actually queer
or they all just kind of going with the flow yeah like i love sucking dick and cock. Yeah. I wonder.
Yeah.
And they also, you know, they pass around the collection plate
and there's tithing and stuff so you can donate to the church.
Right, right.
And does Adelaide have a big Pentecostal scene?
There's a big every religion scene, really.
I guess the city of churches.
City of churches.
All are welcome. Oh, okay. City of churches. Isn't the name. All are welcome.
Well, okay, that's good.
We've got one.
That's quite good.
I would say that if you're going to put a cult in the bunker,
preferably not one of the intense, like, suicidal, money laundering,
sexual abusing cults like Heaven's Gate,
even though really camp name, like Heaven's Gate.
Well, there's so much camp that comes out of cults.
Like you're telling me that a comet is going to whisk past
and a flying saucer is going to take me to the next level of existence.
I'd sign up for that.
And then some have like quite strict hairstyle options.
Yeah, you get matching outfits and Nike shoes.
Yeah.
That's quite good.
Yeah.
See, I don't mind.
Like, I mean, obviously Jim Jones, like the big suicide cult.
Like, you know, there's just something.
You don't mind that?
Well, I mean, listen.
If everyone else is doing it.
A nice sweet drink.
Well, you know, That's my vice dear
Yeah well you'd be like
Wait we're killing ourselves
And I'm not doing that
And they'd be like
But it's with a nice sweet drink
Like hmm Kool-Aid was it?
Quite delicious
You're like it is hot in this jungle
Can I have my like
My cup iced as well?
Although it wasn't Kool-Aid apparently
Jungle?
They moved them all down to the middle of the jungle
In Central America
The Amazon?
It was not the Amazon
Boring
It was something starting with a G
Goo
Goo
Goo
Something
Goo
Matt can you Google that?
I'm on it
And it wasn't Kool-Aid
It was something else
And then Kool-Aid spent the next few years just being like,
well, what the fuck are we going to do about this?
Ah, you worked in marketing.
That's gold, baby.
You're like, everyone remembers our name.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, well, if it's not Kool-Aid, I'm not interested.
But I think he was a bit fruity, that Jim Jones.
Yeah.
Over 900 people died.
And that was the biggest civilian loss of American life prior to 9-11.
So wild.
So wild.
And no one really knew.
He preyed on like old people, poor people and black people.
Like everyone at the fringes at that time.
Someone's got to pray for them.
That's right.
And he was like coming in and then he moved them all down to the jungle.
I mean Tell me
Like did they make their houses out of jungle stuff?
I don't know
I want to say it was more like a compound
There was like cabins
There would have been money
I think there was money
And I think there was like cabins
Cabin in the woods
Cabin in the jungle
Yeah
Is that a secret?
Shut the fuck up
Okay When I Moved to the city Cabin in the jungle, yeah. Shut the fuck up.
Okay, when I moved to the city, I lived with my good friend Claire and her partner at the time was brought up, parents, him in Scientology
and he kind of like flirted with freedom and then, you know,
came back to the abusive lover.
And I went with Claire one day to the Scientology church in the city,
which is now a Chanel store.
That's so chic.
Yeah.
Because they built a new one out in Ascavel, which I go past.
We can show you sometime.
Anyway.
What a downgrade.
Well, the new church, it's actually like the garden is what a downgrade well the new church it's actually
like the garden is so beautiful it's like and it's a new building free labor yeah but it's like
covered in like vines and that's a really that's hard work anyway um to get that it's the growth
is incredible for like a 10-year building anyway Anyway, but I went and had my personality test
and it was like, we did it because we thought it was funny,
but it was the most like accurate assessment
of like my personality and anxieties
and like everything.
There's that word again.
But it was crazy.
And so you go and you do the personality test and then you get the results
and it's like so here's everything wrong with you and then wait what was wrong with you everything
everything's wrong with you
but like oh i don't know any psychoanalysis that you care to pardon me lay on me like they picked up on yeah and then it would be like
okay so for this thing you're going to do this course with us and if you want to work on this
then you can do this and it was all like pinpointed around your result no but all the celebrities
no that's such a huge draw card yeah i know they need some new celebrities yeah because they're
kind of they used to have the A-list.
Tom Cruise still obviously is very famous.
But like, I don't know that you're pulling as many people with John Travolta as you once were.
And now that they lost Leah Remini, I don't know.
I can't get behind that.
What's that?
Leah Remini.
Leah Remini.
Michelle Visage's best friend.
From the King of Queens.
Yeah.
Doug's wife.
King of Queens.
Oh, that's that ugly cartoon. No. How dare you talk about Leah Remini. King of the Yeah Doug's wife King of Queens Oh that's that ugly cartoon
No
How dare you talk about
King of the Hill
Oh King of the Hill
King of Queens
The King of Queens
With
With
Jerry
Just keep saying it
Jerry Stiller
Is the dad
From
From Seinfeld
What's the actor's name
With
Kevin James
Kevin James
Paul Blart
The meme of him
Like crossing his arms
Next to the speaker
With the big tits
With the big tits
With that shoe drag
With that massive rack
He could go in the bunker
With that
I don't know what
You are saying to me
But I don't want to
Sign up for Scientology
For that reason either
What if we
Harmoniously sing
The theme song
Oh my god
What is the theme song
To you
My eyes are getting weary
My back is getting tight
Sitting here in traffic
The fact that you were able to pull
Doug. This is awful.
Like the name of the protagonist
of King and Queens, which I would consider to be
like a B-list.
But not the actor's name.
But like it's impressive. No, it's just impressive
to me and horrifying.
Anyway, Leah Remini is an icon icon She hasn't really done much else
Well she did a show about escaping Scientology
And then she used to be on a show called The Talk
Where she was one of the people
Anyway she's just great
And she was the one that like really stuck it to Old May
The head of Scientology
Being like where's your wife?
Where's Shelley Miscavige?
Yeah. Matt, did you find out which jungle
they all died in? I couldn't find any jungle
starting with G. Wait, you just
Googled jungle starting with G?
I just, I wrote in a G jungle.
I don't think it's a jungle.
I think it's just a place. Listen,
listen, okay, why didn't you Google
Jim Jones
jungle.
Jones Jungle.
Jonestown Massacre.
Jonestown.
Guyana?
Guyana.
That's it.
Guyana.
Wow, you really pulled that G as well.
Guyana, the People's Temple Agri-Agricultural Project.
Yep.
Guyana.
Better known by its informal name, Jonestown.
Guyana is very RPG town name.
Yeah, Jonestown has such a nice ring to it.
Yeah, it's better than Elizabethtown with Kirsten Dunst and Olive.
I mean, what's her name?
Bloom.
Orlando.
Anyway.
Katy Perry's ex-husband.
Ex?
Wait, ex.
They're still together.
Not for long.
What do you know that we don't?
It's over.
I can't do it anymore.
Have you done gay things with Orlando Bloom?
Just my resolutions for 2024.
Oh my God, you didn't even ask.
What are you doing with 2024?
Who are you now?
What's your resolution?
We'll see.
I prefer not to make a resolution
because then you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. We'll see I prefer not to make a resolution Because then
You're just setting yourself up for disappointment
I don't want to fail
I don't want to be seen failing
I just prefer to evolve
Let myself evolve
That could be your drag race makeover challenge
Of the face lady
Evolve
Of the old family okay so other cults there is where i'm from in the dandenong ranges
specifically like fern tree gully there was a cult called the family which was active when i lived
there um in my early childhood but they there's a group of nurses and midwives who believed they were surrounded by
this one woman surrounded around this one woman who believed herself to miranda from sex in the
city she believed herself to be miranda she believed that she was the reincarnation of jesus
christ and she got some of the women who were midwives to steal children
from the maternity ward and then they raised them as their own
on the compound and then they bleached all their hair
so they all had white children of the corn hair
and then they gave them acid from time to time
so that everyone in the cult could see Jesus.
The gay community would die for that kind of lifestyle.
It kind of is that gay lifestyle.
Free bleach jobs and free acid.
Yeah.
You just described, but it's voluntary.
Do you think, like, what's the best gay cult apart from Jim Jones?
Is there any gay cults?
F45.
F45.
That feels very straight male, though.
Oh, what's the other one?
It's a Jim. Well, who are male though. Oh, what's the other one? It's a gym.
Well, who are you asking?
Oh, sorry.
Where are you throwing this question?
Matt, you look like you might go to the gym.
No.
Fitness first.
Is that?
It's a.
Silkwood?
Gym's something or.
Gym's mowing.
Oh, it's gym's lashes. Jim's mowing It's Jim's lashes Jim's mowing
Jim's doing lashes now apparently
Jim's doing lashes
Get it diva
A cult
Barry's boot camp
That was it
Barry's boot camp
That is a cult
Yep
Why have I heard about that so much
It's akin to F45
But all the gays go to Barry's boot camp
They always talk about it on the
The girls next level
Like Holly Madison's always like
And then I just go
The only thing I could do was my Barry's Boot Camp
I love it when they talk about
Not Scary Farm
Because they talk about that all the time
Are you familiar with this?
I didn't know that
I just thought that was a word
But they're saying
This is me asking you
They're saying like
Not scary farm
The Halloween one
Yeah
But I just thought that was one word
Like not scary farm
So it's normally Knott's Berry Farm
A what?
Knott's Berry
So Knott's Berry
Knott's Berry
Knott's Berry Farm is like a
A theme park in the US
Like a chain You can go to a Knott's Berry Farm Like like a A theme park in the US Like a chain
You can go to a Knott's Berry Farm
Like Six Flags
And what is it
What's it themed about?
It doesn't have a theme
It's just like a Disneyland or whatever
But like low rent
Okay
And then
Then
Yeah the Halloween offering I guess
Is called Knott's Scary Farm
Which would make sense
Why Bridget's interested in it
Because the girls at the Playboy Mansion
Yes
Have a podcast now Where they always talk about Barry's Boom Cow Okay And now we're all Knott's Scary Farm Wait is it Bridget's interested in it Because the girls Of the Playboy Mansion Yes Have a podcast now
Where they always talk about
Barry's boot camp
Okay
And now we're all
Wait is it Bridget
Holly
Bridget and Holly
And no Kendra
No Kendra
They actually
It's a very similar setup to this
Yes
Because our
Except that we don't hate
Benign Girl
They don't hate Kendra
And we're three beautiful ladies
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah But no They don't I don't What What I hate Kendra. And we're three beautiful ladies. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but no, they don't.
I don't.
What?
What?
Kendra sucks.
Benign girl's great.
I like Kendra.
Oh, shut up.
And I like benign girl.
Brave.
Kendra, ugh, God.
I'm so glad they don't like Kendra.
What do you think about Kendra?
I'm indifferent.
I'm glad she died and then we got Faith around there okay reference yeah yeah yeah that was exciting um the other cult so yeah that
was interesting the other cult cult cult there's one um let me do. Let's check my notes here.
Notes?
My eyes are getting weird.
Children of God.
What did they do?
I don't know, but they had the families of Joaquin Phoenix and Rose McGowan.
Oh, that's right.
They grew up in those cults.
Were they Italian affiliated?
Because I feel like Rose McGowan grew up in like a compound in Italy
that was Children of God.
Could be.
But it's still around.
Probably.
A lot of these cults still have little tendrils.
Denominations.
Lingering.
Yeah, I'd like to start a cult.
Perhaps.
Perhaps something like that.
That could be your 2024.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, cult leader.
Do you think you're charismatic enough for that?
You might be.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Maybe Zelda.
Maybe I could be.
And you know what?
Then the age would report my death.
You know, that's my thing for 2024.
Is that your death reported by the age?
Yeah, I think I could do it.
Good luck.
You going to do anything good this year then?
I will kill you and rip off your face.
Leave that to the monkeys.
And for once, I'm not talking about you when I say that.
Well, you've insulted me here enough in front of my dear friend, Eval.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
So we've got Pentecostal Scientology.
Scientology is chic.
Scientology is a huge one.
I love science fiction.
You've been working on that one for a while.
What?
But I do like that it's just so bold-faced a lie.
Yeah.
The artwork for that, I was going to say brand.
For Dianetics.
Yes.
Yeah, that giant blue building is very effective in LA,
the Celebrity Center.
And it was invented by L. Ron Hubbard?
Yeah.
And what did he do?
He was a fiction writer.
Yeah.
What of note?
He did, what was the?
Return of the Jedi.
What of note?
He did, what was the?
Return of the Jedi.
No, there was a science fiction movie that he wrote.
Battlefield Earth.
Yeah. Wasn't that his?
Was that it?
Yeah, but he was just like one of those.
Battlefield Earth.
The one with John Travolta.
Which John Travolta produced himself.
I watched that.
No Hollywood studio would touch it.
Yeah.
They're like, we're going to do it.
And like Will Smith and his family were in it for a while.
But they're a mess now.
They're doing so much better with that.
But yeah, that's a good time.
Although, yeah, the thing that I find really annoying,
and this is the thing about the Pentecostal and the churches in general,
is that you know being
raised atheist i would try and like go to my friend's churches you know i had a friend who
was like seventh day adventist in primary school and like another friend who was just like straight
you know milquetoast christian and then like all these other things and no one ever tried to like
steal me in the night no one ever tried to be like, come back again on next Sunday and we'll give you a lamington.
Like no one was trying to recruit me.
No one's ever tried to put me in their cult.
They don't let monkeys in cults, do they?
Perhaps if you went to a zoo, they might try to put you in a cage.
I see you've decided to be funny in the new year.
Exciting for you.
38 years later.
What?
What?
I'm not 38 this year.
Are you not?
Oh, my God.
Someone should tell your face that.
Before it's torn up.
Okay.
Okay. Let's be kind
We've got company
Lulu Lemon
Lulu Lemon is a cult
Lulu Lemon is a cult
I would say it's a pretty bad one
What do they sell?
They sell athleisure
It is crazy sometimes
Like looking at
This is like an equivalent of like
Men's like gray tracksuit
pants where everyone can see a dick and then like leg leggings on like sporty gals yeah that are
like designed to in your ass hole and like it has the like rouging so like your ass looks incredible
but like i am just looking at your whole ass.
It's crazy.
It's bad.
I mean, like, imagine being that comfortable.
I can't help it.
Yeah.
It's incredible.
And it's in front of me.
Are you saying they shouldn't dress like that?
No.
Asking for it?
No.
Oh, my God.
No.
The moon.
I'm just saying that these things are critical.
And what would Ms. Lemon say about that?
Lulu.
Lulu.
Yeah.
And then, I mean, there's also Mary Kay Cosmetics.
That's more MLM, which I think is probably a different thing.
But it is bordering.
Oh, that's so true.
Yeah.
What's the MLM?
There are so many.
Well, that's, I mean, like they've really kind of.
My aunt used to sell the Tupperware.
Oh, that's.
Tupperware is a big one.
My friend's mom does it.
Tupperware.
And she does women's clothes.
If we put Tupperware as a cult into the bunker, everything would be fresh.
True.
Except that's discussed. And so many Jimmy Bolds. You can never find the lids. Oh, my God. as a cult into the bunker, everything would be fresh. True.
Except that's disgust. And so many jelly bowls.
You can never find the lids.
Oh, my God.
Everyone needs to talk about this.
Here's another thing.
Yeah.
Apparently, they don't pickle the beetroot in the can anymore.
You know how you have the plastic Tupperware container for the beetroot?
Yes, and it has the little thing where you pull it out
and then the water is separated
So when we were growing up
It was pickled
Now it's just in water
So if you taste the beetroot
It tastes like shit
Wait, what?
I would like empty a can into that thing
And then, because the stuff in the can
Now that liquid is just water
It used to be a pickling liquid
Wait, so in a can now they just now that liquid is just water it used to be a pickling liquid wait so in a can yeah of beetroot that like syrupy pink colored used to be like a vinegar
yeah it was kind of sweet like a brand yeah yeah brian normally it's like a sugar and now it's just
water and now it's just water wow so if you want it to taste good you should re-pickle it in the container wow but i
i love this from tupperware about that tupperware thing we had one of those that was so cool yeah
the suction so it's like a it's like a square a tall square container but it has a like netted
contraption like a slide you pull it up and it drains away the liquid so you can pluck out the
delicious beet oh my god and it's just for beetroots or like other i don't think anything
else would be suitable for that look if you can think of another way to sell that product you'd
make a lot of money what about like other pickles i suppose pickle pickles oh yeah yeah pickle
pickle tupperware.
That's a good point because every time I try to get the pickle out of the jar.
I'm so mad.
The little briny fingers.
Is that what it looked like?
Yes.
Jesus.
It's so beautiful.
Show me this.
Oh, so it has like a gorgeous like.
Yeah.
Oh.
My mom probably still has the one that we had growing up.
Oh, we still have one.
Oh, pickles. Example number one. the one that we had growing up. Oh, we still have one.
Pickles, example number one.
There we go.
I don't seem betrayed anywhere here.
I also love the little spinner thing for lettuce.
I need one of those.
Salad spinner.
Yeah.
That's what's cool.
I need one of those.
Why has no one ever gifted me that?
People just don't centrifuge their salads anymore.
Well, I mean, that's it.
Because otherwise I wouldn't clean that lettuce.
I don't wash things before I eat them.
No.
I need the pesticides.
The only thing I will do is when I chop a bok choy.
Because there's always grit at the base of that.
Why is bok choy the one like that?
We have hydroponics.
Get it together.
Yeah.
Beer, everything else. I'm not cleaning an apple.
No.
Oh, I do.
I'll wipe it on my shirt like I'm a gal in a movie who's going to flirt with her teacher.
But only for the bit, not for hygiene.
Not for hygiene reasons.
I only wash my hands.
Do you rinse all fruit and vegetables before you consume them?
Only ones that aren't in a sealed thing.
If it says washed and ready, then I'll proceed cautiously.
See, this is why generalized anxiety is helping you.
Because you're going to live forever without all those pesticides in you.
Look how young I look.
But I'm'm gonna die tomorrow
before the age has even discovered who you are hey if you um write for the age maybe the obituary
isn't it just um shoot us some note even if it's like i don't know the leader or whatever i'll take
that for now Do you think
You would get a write up
Evel in the Adelaide age
Yeah
There's no such
Publication exists
No but
The advertiser
Oh
The Adelaide advertiser
Yes
Yeah
I think you would
And Kane probably would right
Yeah
Kane and Abel
Yeah
Adelaide
Other icon Yeah Congratulations I. Adelaide's other icon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Congratulations.
I'm Adelaide's icon.
Cain is Adelaide's other icon.
Yes, the Courtney and Vanity of Adelaide.
Hmm.
Who's the Courtney and who's the Vanity?
Um, hmm.
I would say I'm the Torah.
Torah Hyman?
Torah Hyman Torah Hyman
Yeah
Well you're the aura
Aura-less sex
Well that's what they call me
Oh my god
Okay cults
What cults?
Cults
Okay listen
I'm happy
Can we just put in the wigs
From like bleached wigs
Can we just do that?
Well that's
I think bleached wigs
We know that
I mean
If the gays can't be there
We may as well have everyone
With bleached wigs and acid.
We need a second wig.
What do you think?
The family from the hills?
Sure.
Yeah.
Why not?
Not putting up a fight there.
This is good.
This is good.
This is unanimous.
Can we maybe just tweak it and say it's the family,
but mum loves to sell a bit of tupperware on the side good yes but
specifically only the pickle thing if you're gonna have 28 kids you know you're gonna need to keep
that food fresh yeah yes and you can put the faces in there of your loved ones that were torn off by
age and brine them and then pull up that little grate it's just a reminder this could happen to
you yeah stop
showing us that pickled face um matt do you have any cults you want to throw in oh you're from
steiner school go on yeah maybe just yeah it's steiner but no one else will choose that so i
mean it felt very culty uh to some degree what do you think are the three cultiest things about
steiner school that people might not know.
I feel like it's always like when everybody gathers together,
like when we had a school gathering, it felt very culty.
A lot of the time it was like to do... Assembly!
Woo!
It was a lot of like chanting and stuff, singing and stuff, you know.
So when everybody got together like that, it felt very culty.
We used to have like a winter solstice sort of very pagan-y sort of festival
and we would all sing this song and carry candles around
and wear robes and stuff.
That always sounds very ceremonious.
This is very culty.
But what's the song?
You said we'd always sing this song
It was like a song that we sang every year
It was about bringing the light
Sing the song
Yeah, I feel like that's a really easy way to communicate this, man
I don't want to sing the song on the podcast
Why not?
It's embarrassing
Oh, come on
It was something like
It was called The Gift of the Light.
That was what the song was called.
Well, go on.
Give us the gift of a song.
The gift of the light we thankfully bring.
So it was like very like kind of monkey, you know, like.
Monkey?
Monkey?
No, not like a monkey, like monkish, you know.
Oh, good.
Well, we'll have to clarify that In the bunker
Wow
And
Yeah we used to sing that song
What sort of chants
Um
Other
Hoorah
Hoorah
Yeah
Not like
Yeah more to do with like
Um
Nature
And
Earth
Leaf
Leaf
Dirt
Tree Yeah I know that one one seasons can someone fill me in
what is steiner school so there was a man named rudolf steiner who um devised his own education
method feeling that the way that children were being educated was not correct. In the early 1900s. He was a Nazi.
Yeah, it was a bit questionable.
Yeah.
Is that a cult?
But he had a whole thing about the, like, nature
and, like, how we need to reconnect education to nature
and kind of put things in keeping with the
seasons and making kids more aware of that.
And then also that you in Steiner school have,
when you start in prep,
you have one teacher that sees you through your whole education.
Oh,
so if you get Mrs.
S in the first,
you call that by your first name,
you get taken through your whole education with that teacher.
What if they die?
What happens if they die?
Matt?
Who?
What died?
What if your teacher died in year four and you still had more years to go?
Oh, they would find a replacement.
But she had to wear the face of Mrs. Lowe.
I think that hurts her feeling.
If they could find the face in the monkey's lair.
Otherwise a good makeup job was required.
And then you're not allowed to have dolls with faces.
You have to make all your toys.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
I mean, that was one of the things that happened.
But, like, it was more like he had, like, a whole philosophy.
He wrote a whole series of books on philosophy and combined kind of like religion and spirituality aspects of different things to kind of suit his world beliefs, I guess.
But I don't think he was actually a Nazi.
I think he was maybe a bit racist, but I don't think he was actually a Nazi.
I think the Nazis actually persecuted him, potentially.
He was a martyr.
Yeah.
From Nazi to martyr in two minutes.
And, well, okay, so my friend's kids are currently in Steiner school,
and one of the versions of this, like, of a Steiner education is that,
like, this is just the kind of thing that,
I don't know, they believe in like there's a combination
of different educational principles all happening
in one big class setting project.
So their teacher currently is making a giant Viking ship.
It was very practical and creative.
Like they came at everything, even science
With a very strong emphasis on creativity
Which was good
And so the end of the term
All the kids had made a Viking ship that was buoyant on a lake
Buoyant?
And they all got on
And they'd all drowned
But they had to do the maths to math out how big everything needed to be and
everything so that was the kids and then my like he was like my younger daughter is in the class
with the kind of shit woman and he's like one of us gets viking ships the other one gets like
how to peel an onion both practical yeah i watched some videos recently on like how like
because obviously they build ships on land and they like
roll them into the ocean oh it's so cool and scary and then once they're in the ocean that is it baby
what do you mean out yeah like unless it's like serious maintenance and then they have to go into
those docks and then they drain it out it is theatrical i don't fuck with ships
Like cargo ships
Those cargo are very heavy
How is it not sinking?
Buoyancy
If you went to Steiner school you would know
Yeah could I go what year was it?
Were they in grade 5 and they have a better
Concept of this than I do?
Interesting
But yeah some of the performance-y aspects of the school
definitely felt a bit cult-y.
Well, I'm hearing robes.
I'm hearing community.
I'm hearing, you know, life lessons about the ocean.
I think we should put that in instead of whatever we said before.
I'm happy to put in Steiner education.
I wouldn't call it a proper cult though like oh
no it sounds like someone called to me i also think we need to think twice about putting education
in the bunker that sounds dangerous that does so we don't need an enlightened public
rise up against us okay well let's just go for blonde bobs And some Tupperware for beetroot little pickles
And faces
Okay, well let's lock it in and let's move along
Alright, fabulous
Huzzah!
We'll be right back everyone
Adios mi amor
And we're back
Hello We're here sitting with the Adelaide diva herself And we're back. Hello.
We're here sitting with the Adelaide diva herself, Miss Eva.
Hi.
Hi.
What do people need to know about you?
There's very little to know, to be honest.
Well, don't downplay it.
Surely there's something.
I'm a mystery.
Wrapped in an enigma.
You have to find me on Instagram.
Oh, yeah.
Please do that as well
don't find evil
leave a comment
we always put the link in the thing
okay
speaking of your thoughts on things
our next topic for discussion
tonight is which
Australian drag queen will be
going into the bunker
you go first Which Australian drag queen will be going into the bunker?
You go first.
I don't know any.
I've never met an Australian drag queen.
Obviously, well, you may have already mentioned it.
Who?
Wigs by Vanity.
Wigs by Vanity. Wigs by Vanity.
I mean, iconic.
Perhaps the most iconic Australian drag queen. I think you might have stolen my answer.
That is for real.
Oh, you asked me to go first.
But I have to concur.
So if you don't know who this person is, which, what are you, crazy?
Living under a rock.
Yeah.
What are you, crazy?
Living under a rock. Yeah.
One of the iconic Sydney drag queens,
multiple Diva Award winning drag queens,
her name's Vanity.
Yeah.
And she has a wig company
and she does personal styling for Miss Courtney Act,
if you've heard of her,
of season one of Australian Idol fame.
act if you've heard of her of season one of australian idol fame and she is incredible she's like simultaneously the most like whacked out crazy bitch that you've
ever met but also the most beautiful talented talented doll of a woman. Like insane. It's crazy. The duality.
Yeah.
She's Australia drag in essence.
Yeah.
Like has a kind of, she contains multitudes truly.
Try and put that on Drag Race Down Under.
They really should have.
Why haven't they?
How has that not happened?
I don't think she wants to.
Yeah.
They're probably begging her.
I think that, yeah. Season one she wants to. Yeah. They're probably begging her. I think that, yeah.
Season one she wanted to.
Yeah, she auditioned and then she broke her hand.
She broke her hand and then she had that pain medication
and then she was out in the rain drinking rainwater off of rosebuds.
Need we say more?
That could have seen the ratings of Down Under season two go through the roof i truly yeah it's
like how would you put her on and not crown her she's kind of too famous for it in a lot of ways
it's like putting sasha colby yeah yeah exactly it's just like everyone's like okay well goodbye
yeah yeah uh vanity i was also say vanity Is she too perfect?
Well no, see this is the duality of vanity
Is that she's such a bogan bitch
Such a larrikin
She's got that essence of like
She is flawed
She's like, you know, a sassy drunk
Like, you know, she's got all of it in her
Such a drunk
Yeah, and that's like
That is like
She's not just perfection
But she can do it when
she needs to which is to me the ideal version of perfection it's like oh if i could do that i could
do that all the time if i wanted to but i don't want to right now because i want to get drunk
yeah yeah like that's so good and that's what original rupaul was kind of like like rupaul
nowadays it's a bit more like you don't really see as much of her like sassy, like chaotic side because she has a whole franchise to think about
and the PR of all of that.
And she's got a whole, RuPaul has a whole team.
People looking after her.
There's bulldog clips holding everything together at the back.
She can't do anything.
She's maintaining the image for the public.
But Vanity doesn't need to worry about that.
No. The image for the public But Vanity doesn't need to worry about that No One time after DragCon in LA
I saw Vanity drunk as piss
In a beer garden
And she was standing there trying to
Smoke an unlit cigarette
Incredible
I walked up and I was like
Do you need me to find a light?
And she was like
It's just pretend
Just pretend
She was so drunk
I don't think she knew that it wasn't
incredible if anyone could smoke a lit cigarette down to its nub it could be vanity
where just slowly we told that story about drag expo with her from last year but from two years ago at Drag Expo, there was the second day.
I was there early before my sisters had yet arrived.
And I was off getting like an iced latte from the cafe.
And Vanity was in front of me and she ordered a beer.
This is maybe 8 a.m.
And I was like, Vanity, you have to let me pay for that you know you know
which is why she was so warm when you came up on the second year oh my god and she was like oh
thanks love and then it was oh she's just well courage i i mean i just i do want to point out
that there are three drag queens in this room And none of us have put ourselves in the bunker
We're beyond the bunker
What about you Adam?
What about you?
Why wouldn't you put yourself in the bunker?
Just a modest girl from Adelaide
I wouldn't dare
I dare
If you had to put a gal from Adelaide in
That isn't you
I want you to get home
At the end of this pod
And have no friends
Well you'll have one friend
Or just one friend
Yeah
Really good one
Ooh
Is Kane getting in?
Miss Humpty?
What's going on?
Oh, Hunty Dumpty
Yeah
I do love
I would love to save her
Yeah
But Alison Express is probably my
One of my favourites
She's just, you know, very hungry to deliver.
Which is what we need in the bunker.
Yeah.
She just had her face laser resurfaced too.
What does that actually do?
Horrifying.
She looks like she's had her face ripped off.
It's like an oxygen laser or something,
and it just burns your whole face off,
and then it heals and you have nice smooth skin.
Wow.
That's the kind of dedication I want to see in the bunker.
I love that.
That's true.
It has nothing to do with drag, though, really.
Well, no, that's a dedication.
But I think we have a shitty bar in the bunker.
The biker bar.
The biker bar where a bunch of women are having the best night of their lives.
Yeah, vanity would really fit in there.
And that would likely be the place.
Like they'd be performing there.
They might get a spot at the Nanny set.
Yes.
And they might get invited to drive the bait bus when Crystal is out of action.
Yes.
On a break getting a milkshake.
Yeah.
So that might be the three times.
Actually, I need to raise a question.
Yeah.
So there are Macca's Strawberry Thick Shakes in the bunker.
Yes.
How are they performing up against the magnate of Wendy's Shakes?
I'm going to throw that one to you, Zelda Moon,
because I'm not in the game.
You just said yourself that you're going for the Wendy's.
If I had the two in front of me
I think I would go Flakeshake
Of course
Because I've had more McDonald's
Strawberry thick shakes in my life than Flakeshakes
Because Wendy's is rare
And it shows
Wendy's is like a rare
Sighting in the universe
Yeah
You know inhabitants are spoiled by having one
you know 10 meters away at all times so yeah i think for eternity like i've had probably enough
strawberry thick shakes at this point but i could never have enough of the flake shake
yeah okay that's interesting, I suppose Okay, which drag queen from Melbourne would you put in?
Oh, don't make me choose
I'm hoping, okay, here's my plan
I'm going to follow this up with every city
What about San Diego?
No, but I'm going to hope
And the reason that, you know, obviously I'm a celestial being
I can't be in the bunker
But, you know, I hope you make mean, the reason that, you know, obviously I'm a celestial being, I can't be in the bunker. No.
But, you know, I hope you make some wise decisions here today.
Yeah, I mean, obviously I would have said, well, one of you two.
I won't say which.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, like, I mean, I say vanity, but in... If I have to pick a Melbourne galown Does it need to be An original Melbourne
Queen
No she can be from elsewhere
As long as she calls
We just want you to bitch
About drag queens
Just do that
Passion Couture
Oh
Oh
She was like
The original
Cause she's from Adelaide
She's an Adelaide girlie
Yeah
And she was iconic
So you would have
Overlasted
Yes
We love passion
I used to go and watch her
and just,
I was a gog.
Well,
she's one of these
other people
similar to,
to a Vanity
where it's like,
if she wants to do
perfection,
she can do perfection.
Yeah,
she just chooses not to.
She just,
but she's like,
happy to be like,
you know,
yeah,
get down in the gutter
and be like,
whatever the fuck is up
with you cunts
kind of thing,
which is when the Adelaide comes out. But she's so good. Like, you know, yeah, get down in the gutter and be like, whatever the fuck is up with you cunts kind of thing. I love that.
Which is when the Adelaide comes out.
But she's so good.
And I think that, you know, she would be good in the bunker
because she's also a seamstress.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, though, Vanity will be styling those bleach blonde bobs.
It's true.
She'll be doing the, what is it, Gail Weathers?
The micro bangs.
The micro bangs.
Yeah. She can really maintain those. That's quite an asset. She'll be doing the, what is it? Gale Weathers? The microbangs. The microbangs.
Yeah.
She can really maintain those.
That's quite an asset.
I guess as well, like Chef Miss J.
Oh, camp.
She can cook.
No vaping.
No vaping.
Melvin's like Miss J.
There's a, I was going to say like in maybe like a twist of preservation,
I put banana girl on the bunker,
but she's kind of like celestial,
like cousin off in the void.
Also you'd be forcing her to be in drag.
Oh,
because I think if we're hiring them as drag queen,
they're never out of drag.
So she would be sitting there in the dressing room next to whoopie Goldberg
and like a Romaine.
Yeah.
Getting her makeup done.
No.
Yes.
No.
Where do you sit on this issue?
Oh, my God.
Is there magic in the bunker or is there real things in the bunker?
When we said that Bayonetta was in the bunker,
what did that look like in your mind?
Interesting.
That looked like a kind of like a two-dimensional projection,
like a, you know, like an animation of Bayonetta. White Knight, where they project her on the side of walls?
No, like, you know, I don't know if y'all are on the internet much.
I don't know.
But there was recently like a meme,
and it was Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2,
walking through the lobby of the plaza,
trying to find wherever he's going.
Yeah.
And the video game character comes forward.
Someone's like, image them together.
Like Madonna and gorillas.
I haven't seen this.
Gorillas?
There's a video game character that comes towards Macaulay Culkin.
I'll have to find it and send it to you
Well she's never seen Home Alone
Yeah I don't know what
What the fuck
Or Home Alone 2
Lost in New York
Which is the better of the two
Lost in New York
Because it's got Tim Curry
Tim Curry
As the concierge
Evil concierge
Yes
Yes indeed
Oh that's good
He's having
I don't know
He's kind of more
He's evil
He's more meddlesome
Really he's just trying to do his job.
He's actually just good at his job.
He's good at his job.
Like, he's an unattended minor committing fraud.
Yeah.
And so when we said we put Android 18 in the bunker,
what did that look like to you?
I wasn't even familiar with who that was.
So I think what we're getting here is that evil's on my side.
Yeah, I'm fortunately hearing that as well
I have come to understand that there is no magic in the bunker
According to who?
According to Lazy Susan
I like this show, I like it
I think the reality check here is that
Lazy Susan has unknowingly split this podcast into a multiverse
Like scenario where there are two parallel bunkers Lazy Susan has unknowingly split this podcast into a multiverse-like scenario
where there are two parallel bunkers.
And while we may agree on what goes in, my bunker is far more fun.
Originally, I would have thought that anything would be possible in the bunker.
Yes.
You'd be wrong.
Yes.
Ask Brandon Sanderson about rules and magic law.
Sorry, go on.
And then, yeah, I think L susan just really pushed her point that
it had to be within the realm of possibility rebecca romaine getting makeup done every day
she's burnt out but she's got a flake shake yeah i can't do this anymore i can't do this
conversation anymore who was rebecca romaine you See, because you're giving up. You could fight for your cause. It's because, look at her.
See, I have a witness now.
It gives me energy.
On her face.
Because, as I said before, she doesn't actually care.
I care deeply.
You just care about ruffling my feathers.
I care deeply about the citizens of the bunker.
Oh, my God.
She feeds off this energy, this chaos.
Matt Shears, you have just the most disgusting view of me.
I'm a kind...
Yeah, he's looking out the window.
Yeah, he's seeing you front.
Oh, no.
He's actually in another room.
We all have the same disgusting view of you.
Okay.
Which actually, by the way, getting these photos back from a photo shoot that i did recently
the most disgusting view of me is when the photographer is lying down in the glass up at me
and i look like a thumb with like a lash that's gotten stuck to it everyone looks bad from that
angle it's fine we should show you these photos yeah um okay so i think
it's got to be vanity yeah i think vanity vanity has the skills we need for this cult as well
like she is hair base she could sell tupperware yeah do you think she's gonna be okay with the
passing of courtney act when courtney comes running up to the window at the door of the bunker.
She's going to be having a day with Fran Drescher.
She would be totally fine.
Yeah.
As long as she could...
We don't have alcohol in the bunker at the moment.
We have a bar.
We have a bar, but it's not stocked.
Oh, shit.
That was good.
They're having the best night of their life.
We should do...
I feel like they could probably distill their own alcohol in the Tupperware.
Yeah.
Oh, true. With the pickling. That the Tupperware. Yeah. Oh, true.
With the pickling.
That was forceful enough.
Yeah.
Okay.
Get it together, Gwyneth.
So Vanity.
And this is also just like now we can put a pin in this for later in life
when we finally have Vanity on this podcast.
Wicks by Vanity.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Although she's notoriously hard to book when we tried to get her for kick-ons.
And we're like, come.
Even like just for kick-ons in the, like when she was in the room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She just wouldn't go.
She was like, no.
It was after 9am.
Yeah, she was like.
She'd already had enough to drink.
That's right.
Anyway.
Oh, she's so good.
That's great. Queen's by Vanity
Lock it in
In the bunker
Oh wait sorry Matt
We didn't ask you
I don't think I
Have anything
No have a confident opinion
Oh well
Baby
Evel
Oh actually
I have to veto you on that
Oh
Sabrina Babyslot
I would
Probably
Babyslot's already in
Yeah
Is she in?
She works in a reject shop
Of course
Yeah
She's the manager
Someone's got to keep
Courtney in line
Yeah that's right
She was the first
And now Katy Perry works
At the Wendy's part time
Oh perfect
Like but she thinks
It's for the lead up to
An album launch
But it's not
It's the menu log thing
But not actually
Yeah Okay that's good That's good So Vanity launch, but it's not. It's the menu log thing, but not actually.
Okay, that's good, that's good.
So Vanity, second ever drag queen in the bunker.
That's good.
Okay, lock it in, we'll take a break and then we'll come right back.
Amazing.
Okay.
Okay.
And we're back
Hello
With Eval
Hi
It's I'm
Do
Does everyone get it?
What?
My name
Evo
A lot of people don't get it
I don't like that
Hey I've known you for seven years
And suddenly
This makes sense
What would your makeover drag girl girl be called um it depends eve if she's got a rump on her yeah x xl oh that's good
um or her sister yeah bb bb bbl bb is great because it's a gal's name like bb newworth yeah and you know the hidden meaning bbl like a
yeah yeah and you know evil bbl well it has my surname is l yeah it has to be what's the moon
what's the what's your makeover challenge name i don't want them to have my name new moon no
no they can be like Sofa Cushion.
Sofa Cushion? They're not having my name.
No, it's for the show Drag Race.
No, because then everyone will always be like, oh, like Nebraska is your sister.
That's one bad egg.
Ew.
That's one bad example of it going wrong.
Ew.
There's no other version where there's like Arts and Craft Simone is running around being like, I'm craft Simone.
Wait, was hers craft Simone?
Yeah.
I think it's nice when, you know, the drag daughter doesn't have the family name and then they can flourish.
And they can surpass their mother.
This is like a person in a reality.
You have never considered what your name would be.
in a reality you have never considered yeah considered what your name would be like the name of your child on the show for one episode that's a fun pun using any moon
you know jada wants to name her daughter persephone um but but that also yeah because
like my name's not a pun so like like, why would I put pun on that?
No, it just has to be from the House of Moon.
House of Moon.
Yeah, maybe.
Persephone Moon.
That's great.
Maybe it could be Link Moon.
Okay.
Okay.
What is going on in the bunker for the final bunkette?
Evel.
Oh, this is my turn.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
I forgot.
Okay, go on.
Sorry.
I forgot we were in the same room. Finally, I get to have a say in something around yeah. Oh, my God. Okay, go on. Sorry, I forgot we were on the same page.
Finally, I get to have a say in something around here.
Oh, my God.
All right.
And, you know, knowing that we just had the giant stock take,
so watch it because in 2020.
Yeah, in 12 months we might kick it out.
Yeah.
Okay, so everybody has a birthday, right?
Not Mormons.
Oh, well. No Jehovah's Witnesses
Sorry
Everybody in the bunker
Because they're not invited into the bunker
That's right
That's true
That in itself
That's a cult in itself
So everyone has a bunker
No
We all have a bunker inside us
Everyone has a birthday
Yeah
And
On that special day
Once a year
Judy Greer will bring out a birthday cake
Which birthday cake
Is going into the bunker
Yes
And it must be served by Judy Greer
That sounds good too
Well she gets a free pass then
Lucky
I'm sneaking her in the back door
I would have Judy Greer
and her drag daughter
Judy Greer.
Well, of course you would
because your sister,
Jennifer Garner,
is best friends with Judy Greer.
That's true.
Jennifer Garner has friends?
Come on.
How do you think
she survived that divorce?
Whatever.
Jello's doing just fine.
They're not. They're fine. They're fine jaylo and ben are having troubles and i can feel it oh don't say that her whole new album is about ben she didn't
write any of that yeah but she inspired the lyrics you know so okay birthday judy greer time i mean
she's crashing everything she's to be in the bunker.
You know, she never gets to be the leading lady.
And I think, you know, it should be her time.
The bunker birthday babe.
Okay.
Are you Googling Judy Greer?
Obviously, I'm Googling Judy Greer.
Say goodbye to these kitties.
Oh, my God.
It's the last time.
Okay. So, my God. Yeah. It's the last time. Okay.
So, birthday cakes.
Now, I will mention that there is already a pudding option,
Sticky Day Pudding.
I do love Sticky Day Pudding.
Sorry, Sticky Day Pudding and Viennetta.
Yes.
Viennetta, delicious.
But may I just trash talk Viennetta for one moment oh go off cheap nasty
ice cream gross compound chocolate it's it's all marketing i just watched a documentary on it
and there's a documentary about viennetta well it's about ice creams in the united kingdom
oh and you don't experience joy as you crack through the layers. Oh, that part is satisfying. Okay. Thank you.
But,
uh,
so that is something separate.
Yeah.
It's not a birthday cake.
They're different putty.
They're not for birthdays.
Yeah.
I also,
sticky date is for weddings.
Yeah.
Oh,
okay.
To me.
Okay.
To me.
Um,
or funerals.
Jesus.
Sticky date putty at the funeral. Okay. Okay. B day pud. me um or funerals jesus okay okay b-day pud b-day cake like a number three but it's a sponge cake
and it has like pink frosting with sprinkles or whatever do you either of you have like a
an iconic childhood birthday cake that's seared into your mind yes so like the obviously ubiquitous cole's mud cake
was a big fixture at my childhood birthdays but apart from that i'm not really okay so i'm not
much of a cake girl i just think it's like so dense and rich and you've already been like
suckling at the teat of birthday fare the entire time.
So by the time it comes out, you're like, you know.
So mom never had the Women's Weekly birthday cake.
My mother was not what you would call a cook.
A kook.
She was a kook.
She wasn't a cook.
She was an academic.
So she was not, you know, she chose books, not cookbooks.
My mom loves to bake and make pudding and all sorts.
But she did have like all of those like crazy birthday cake books
and whatever.
She did have like all of those like crazy birthday cake books and whatever.
There was one year where I like,
we then got to like start picking the cakes that mom would make.
And there was one year where I can't remember the shape of it,
but it was covered in these like little,
like,
like kind of like a jelly mold,
I guess like that shape,
but like tiny little like chewy jubes.
Oh, yeah.
And they kind of like dotted the entire mound of cake.
That's like, see it in my memory.
Hmm.
Yeah.
What was that meant to be, sorry?
Birthday cake.
But what was it like?
I want a lump cake.
Like, you know.
I want the lump that's covered in smaller lumps. It's a nondescript shape cake.
Yeah, you're like, I want the one that looks like coronavirus.
Don't think it was in a particular shape.
Yeah.
I wonder if there's a photo of that.
That's a weird pic for a kid, wouldn't you say?
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
Hey, but it left an impression.
Yeah.
It did.
But.
What color were the lumps?
Multicolor.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Kind of like...
Tacky.
What?
What?
Eva, what kind of cakes do you like?
So growing up, my favorite that was ever made for me was the train cake from the Women's
Weekly Cookbook.
Okay.
So I'm familiar with this cake.
And my poor mum, Because she was a nurse
Came off night duty
She was up all night making the cakes
And everything
It was my fifth birthday and no one came to the party
It was just family
Eva, no
Wait, you were five and you'd already alienated your peers?
Well, I just think no one
Could come, that was the story I was told
I just had to drag it forward just think no one could come that was the story i was trying to drag it forward
that sucks i thought that just happened in movies i was very upset that sucks oh yeah hence the
anxiety disorder i'm glad we got amazing cake visually and it was even better with the salty tears.
Wait, so family came there?
Oh, yeah, the family.
That's good.
Got to be there.
And now it's the reverse.
The family wouldn't come.
God, that's good.
But taste, taste's a big factor.
Yes.
I know there's already the Viennetta ice cream cake.
What about the Peter's birthday ice cream cake? The what about the peter's birthday ice cream cake so the multi-colored
yes famously my parents octagonal kind of shape when they got married were getting married in
on the coast of caloundra in queensland uh which is where my mother's mother was living at the time
and they opted in the queensland heat for a wedding cake that was an
ice cream cake wow and so just adding further insult to injury of i don't know embarrassing
things that happened to my mother the the cake had pretty much entirely melted by the time it
was time for people to it was just a single story-story ice cream cake. Oh, my God.
Yeah.
She came in the bathroom.
Two-door Toyota Corolla got out of the back there to, like, pop the chair,
and she got out, and it looked like a fun party.
There was a dog there with a tie on in the photos, so I was happy.
Oh, my God.
That's almost more tragic than no one coming to my back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True.
Maybe if they'd have the choo-choo
cake things would have yeah i um have remembered another cake from my childhood growing up i loved
you might have seen them at my brother's house because the kids have them now and i fear that
they don't take care of them anyway um these like worm fluffy like worm toys that were like
striped and they had like Fluffy head And it was like
White and red
White and green
White and yellow
White and blue
And I had these four worms
Like
That I was obsessed with
And one of my birthday cakes
Like had them drawn on it
With pen?
No it was like icing
Like icing
Was it well done?
It was good
It was from
There was a bakery in Rye where I grew up.
What was that bakery called?
Doesn't matter.
But we got it from there.
Which means that, I don't know, my parents supplied them an image of these fucking plush toys that I had.
Of these like fuzzy worms.
My friend Nina, for her birthday one year, many moons ago, her father brought home...
Drag daughter name.
Many moons.
Many moons.
Many moons.
That's good.
That's good.
Many moons.
Waning moons.
Many moons.
New moons.
Blood moon.
Blood moon.
Sorry to derail.
No, that's fine.
Like the choo-choo.
Okay.
So her father, he's a big Irishman, brought home a tiny little mud cake
about the size of a coaster.
And there was about 10 people at the birthday.
Sorry about that, Eval.
And so we were all there.
It was meant to be just a family dinner.
And we're like, Joe, what the fuck is with this cake that you thought would serve 20 like 10 people and he's like it's very dense
and we hung shit on him for the entire course of the meal for purchasing the most inappropriate
birthday cake that was like and then we ate it and it was so dense. You really just needed the tiniest slice.
Anyway, so then that began this tradition of every year,
like up until now, Nina's birthday cake has sucked in a different way.
Like this was the wrong size for a cake, but it didn't taste bad.
It was delicious.
And then every year since, like the year later,
her mom, who's this incredible cook who just can't do desserts, made this cake that was, like, just, it was the most disgusting thing.
And we started eating it.
And I was like, and everyone's kind of looking at each other.
And then the next year she'd become vegan.
And so someone, like, attempted another cake.
become vegan and so someone like attempted another cake and it was like like every this is a new like variation and like the last year we were eating the cake and we were looking at each other
and i just like lost it because everyone's like well finally she's broken the curse and then we
started eating and i was like i don't think we have it's's very good. Oh, my.
So there's one cake that holds my highest esteem.
I used to work at a place called Cob Lane, a cafe that's owned by-
Cob Lane?
Cob Lane.
Owned by a British guy who was a British dessert chef who's very famous.
Nigella Lawson?
Yes, he's Nigella Lawson.
Okay.
famous nigella lawson yes he's nigella lawson okay and nigel lawson and he had this carrot cake recipe that was like this insane carrot cake so good with like a delicious cream cheese icing
that was like overwhelmingly cream cheese flavor anyway so good you can still get it in places
around melbourne because they wholesale to other cafes but obviously like the the their public facing offering went bankrupt while i was working there
and it was suddenly out of a job but um fuck yes i used to like if i see that in a shop i have to
be in the fate of many hospital places that you've worked i think i don no longer exist yeah i have to sweep them under the rug oh my god
yeah okay go on that no that's it there's that carrot the cob the cob laying carrot cake it's
like the most insane carrot cake you've ever had because of course the carrot cake the actual
cake is just a vehicle for the frosting well right but i love that dense moist like not entirely sweet flavor like that to me is a perfect cake because
saccharin when it's like cloying on the yeah i can't deal that interesting because i i didn't
think you were that girl i don't like your carrot cake girly i love carrot cake zucchini cake
flourless orange cake with poppy seed i love that reminds me, when we were doing the 7-Eleven
offering, my friend
who listens
to the podcast was like,
how did you not shut up the
orange poppy seed
muffin from 7-Eleven? Oh, that is good.
So juicy. He was like,
there's nothing else. The other
muffins don't make sense. Just the
orange poppy seed is like iconic and delicious. So I went and had it. It was veryins don't make sense. Just the orange poppet seed is iconic
and delicious. So I went and had it. It was very good
but too sweet.
They just dump syrup on it.
Oh, come on. Have a bit of fun.
What about cakes with people inside?
I like that. Jumping out of
the cake. Happy birthday.
I really want to do that. Oh my god. What if Holly and Bridget out of the cake Happy birthday Yeah I really want to do that
Oh my god
What if Holly and Bridget were in the cake?
What if that
What about when you cut it open
There's sprinkles inside
What about dolls?
Dolls
Doll cake
It's called a Dolly Varden
I'm sorry?
Tuna Monet?
That style of cake
A Dolly Varden?
Dolly Varden cake.
That's my drag daughter.
It's where there's the Barbie doll jammed in the cake shaped like the skirt of a dress.
Which is like, I hate that you can't eat the doll.
Yeah.
You could.
That's right.
That's what they put in the age.
Yeah.
Famous drag queen dies from eating dolls
famous famous drag queen fine drag queen dies
queen
but i do yeah i think the cheat of like just putting like
a like mini micro on a cake it's like make it out of sugar or don't well racing cars
putting hot wheels cars on you didn't do shit like a you know when you're turning eight yeah
have the race track shaped like an eight and then putting cars on it that's a cheap you just yeah
unless those cars are edible then they like it's like when they did the willy wonka movies
and you're like most of this set is
edible and i'm like either all or nothing honey just like do it or don't um i'm just having a
thought i'm just gonna say it out loud now because it's come to mind perhaps i guess you've just
described talking i think that i may have found something here when i said that you weren't famous enough to be in the age
that really got under your skin didn't it yeah and this whole thing about the bunker not being
any fun is just you so if i say that you get in the age can we have a fun bunker i think there's
nothing funner than um like rules okay well we're back on this well i just think
it's like i don't know if you've ever played like a board game or a video game or something
but like say you started zelda and then you could immediately just have everything have unlimited
health have all the weapons suddenly the challenge of it is gone isn't it What you're describing does not apply because that's not how it works.
Because we're still selecting the things.
Yeah, but the struggle, the intrigue, the figuring out how to make it work.
So you think that you are a celestial god?
Yeah.
Next question.
Okay.
I'll see.
I'm sure you had to be here for this either.
I can't deal with this hypocrite
Hypocrite?
Back on your magic shit
We don't talk about those turf creatures here
Okay, okay, okay
Okay
Just a thought, just a thought
No, it wasn't the age
It wasn't the age
It just means I have to delay my death longer than I'd hoped
Okay, back on topic When will I know the sweet relief? I wasn't any age. It just means I have to delay my death longer than I'd hoped.
Okay.
Back on topic. Back on topic.
My favorite type of cake, though, is cheesecake.
Yeah.
Delicious.
I've grown out of my cheesecake years.
It's too much.
I fucking love cheesecake.
It's too much.
Just have less.
Chocolate marbled cheesecake.
We used to have cake day in the office at my old job and because they basically office
culture realized that they couldn't do cakes for everyone because every day would be someone's
birthday if the office was big enough so they were like we're gonna do cake day once a month
and then just read rapid fire a list of whose birthday it was that month so essentially just
taking all the magic out of
celebrating your co-workers birthdays which is what you like to do i wanted something special for me
so well yeah fun cake in a box but they bring in all the different types of cake and so it's like
i've sampled the delights of the world but But to me, none of them are like, cheesecake in particular.
It just, cheesecake is so overexposed at the moment in the marketplace.
The cheesecake shop, I just think it's too much.
Okay.
We've done too much.
So what, you want sponge?
You know, they're rebranding.
Are they?
The cheesecake shop.
What's it called now?
It's still the cheesecake shop. But they're just changing the green to a lighter green.
Lighter green.
That green's pretty intense.
The shops are ugly.
Yeah.
They are ugly.
It's going to be a lighter, like a, you know, like a limey, like a key lime green.
Oh, I can't see that going well for them.
What do you know?
Brunetti's has that gorgeous red and gold.
It's like quite a rich red, like a crimson.
No, like it's not crimson.
It's deeper than that.
Do you know what I desire more than anything is one of those gorgeous retro cakes that have become very famous recently.
You know where they have the like heart shape and they like have the double stack and they have the gorgeous like.
The ribbon piped around.
Yeah.
The ruffles.
Yes.
And they have cherries on the peaks of each of the icing mounds.
And then it says like, happy birthday.
That's my dream just for the look.
Or you can even get like dirty messages on them now.
Yeah.
You stupid little cunt.
What do you think about like the chocolate plaque that has the things on it
And then they just sit that on the cake
I'm not a fan
I don't like that
I like to eat it though
It's not nice tasting chocolate
You hate the compound chocolate
We're not one for that
No
What about the Santa Claus, chocolate Santas
Have you had any of those in Christmas?
Maybe not
Is it compound chocolate
Yeah they're the most
Like compound chocolate
They're like the red tulip
Of them
Yeah
I just
I mean like
What about cakes
That like
You know that woman
That does cakes
That look like other things
Which I love the artistry of it
But I'm like
Is it cake
Yeah well she
She got ripped off by Cake or fake No cake or I don it But I'm like Is it cake? Yeah well she She got ripped off by
Cake or fake
No cake or
I don't know real or cake
Is it cake?
Is it cake?
Is it delicious?
Maybe
On these people's birthday
Judy Greer should take them in the bait bus
And do like a special round of
Is it cake?
But they're like being baited Yes The cake bait It's a sexy woman or is it cake? they're like being baited
the cake bait
they have to fuck the twink
what?
the gremlin twink
you know what I love though cupcakes that's a great time
individuality
and like so easy to grab
my friend Nikita though her dream
for her wedding like
the reception is to just have a big cheese wheel
And have like a massive charcuterie board
And that to me is a dream
I love
Going to
The zoo
At a fringe festival
And going to that place
That serves the gnocchi
That is cooked in the cheese wheel
Which we found out this year
They don't Well this year they don't
well last year that they don't actually cook it in that wheel i know it's a lie but still the
fantasy is real yeah have you seen that stall at the garden of unholy delights they're going out
of business now yeah fuck well no they just have a steel bowl inside that giant parmesan cheese
another food establishment that you've sunk well tacos and tortas you know
I was speaking to
Kurjan
and he was like
oh we're
catching up with these people
do you want to go to
tacos and tortas
and I was like
well you don't even
listen to the pod
and then I had to be like
we don't go to
tacos and tortas
not since I've
blacklisted them
I don't even know
if they're still open
I think they might be.
Well, it wasn't reported in The Age that they died.
Yeah.
Maybe that's how you get in The Age, become a food critic.
Well, it's definitely going to be easier than becoming a famous drag queen.
You're quite critical.
What's that?
You're quite critical What's that?
Do you think there's still going to be more famous drag queens to come in the world?
I think we've maxed out
Who was the last big famous drag queen to appear?
Was it MIB?
Mistress Isabel Brooks?
Oh, I was in the cold page.
Was it Sasha Colby, I guess?
No, because Sasha was already...
She was already famous in Drag Circles,
but she's really having a moment in the mainstream.
Was it Carmen Farada?
Carmen.
She's kind of got a bit quiet.
Where is she?
She has a bit.
I'll be honest
Yeah
I struggle to keep up now
No for sure
I'm not keeping up
With everything
There's not enough time
Of the day
You could put me in a room
With a bunch of drag queens
Yeah
And they're like
I was from this season
And all this
And I'd be like
Okay
That's the fear
That's the fear
I'm dropping the ocean
Well I was on this podcast
Yeah yeah yeah
Well I'd say
You'd get more famous
From this What can I say But that is like I feel like now It's more in the category Of like the ocean well i was on this podcast yeah yeah well that's it you get more famous from this what
can i say but that is like that i feel like now it's more in the category of like if you were on
a season of like blow blow out or whatever or is it cake it's like i was on that show and it's like
okay yeah okay that might be a good idea though just go to DragCon LA and be like I was on season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under
And they're like yeehaw
Yeah okay
I actually won
So you're a racist
I'm not that one
Or that one
Or that one
Or the other one
So you went to DragCon
Have you just been once?
I've been twice
What's the vibe?
It's incredible
It's so good
It's massive
And just lanes and lanes of stores
Lots of lines though
Yeah
The lines are massive
But it is next level
Did you do LA and New York?
Just LA
Twice
Yeah, once and then two years later
And did you go and do a stall?
Or were you just part of a
Oh no, I was there.
Just there as a guest?
Just wandered around.
I managed to go with someone with a media pass.
Oh, my God.
So there was an ulterior motive.
Amazing.
And did you meet folks?
Yeah.
Who was good?
We skipped a lot of lines.
We were like, media pass here.
Who was good?
I don't really recall.
Did you go in drag or?
I did the second time
Yeah
And yeah, it's a long day to be in drag
And then we went out after
I don't know how people go out after cons
It's such a full day
And then you're like, why am I drinking?
Where did you go out?
Something, red line
Did you suck anyone's dick?
Many dicks
Really?
No
Oh boy
No
Oh
And maybe that
Nothing exciting like that
Hmm
Hmm
Okay
Wow
Wow
Okay
Cake
What birthday cake?
Yeah
See
Hmm
Hmm
So no cheesecake
I also want a Vito sponge
I just think that that texture
Yeah
It's like eating a sponge
Boring
I'm back into flan
Is that a
Flan
I had a really good flan
With a glaze
On top
Like clear glaze
Yeah that's fun
Have you ever had a birthday for a moribund pudding?
No, actually, I went to Miss Jandrews, Melbourne Drag Queen Jandrews.
Flandrews.
Flandrews.
Flandrews.
And she had a flan served.
Actually, no, we were at an Italian restaurant,
and they said it was a group of 25.
This was the thing I was at.
Were you there?
What?
Yeah you were there
Oh my god
How are you describing this story without me?
I was like yeah tell me more
Wait
This is quite familiar
There was a plan?
No and so then they were like
Okay so we can do
Like we're gonna bring out
It was tiramisu or panna cotta
We're gonna bring out Tiramisu or panna cotta We're gonna bring out
Tiramisu or panna cotta
We've got half and half
And it was like
Well why did you do that?
Because everyone wanted the tiramisu
Everyone wanted the tiramisu
But it was like weird
That they were like
Treating it like we were in a school canteen
And they were like
We've got half and half
And it's like
Well you could have just made more tiramisu
Me love
Like what are you doing?
So that was weird But it did give me a
chance to re-meet my friend flan yeah and i liked her very much i and that was a birthday plan the
two puddies that night i think the the plan was the plan yeah yeah the plan was the plan okay
so what are we doing what What's happening? So we're
We're vetoing sponge
We're vetoing
Cheesecake
Cheesecake
I'm happy to say that flan is probably not
You're not putting a candle in flan
I think
No
One of the keys to a birthday cake
Is that you need to be able to put a candle in it
Yeah
I kind of
You know what I'm feeling
Miss Eval
Is specifically
The
The
Sad
Choo choo train
Cake
But it has to be made
By your mother
In the bunker
Late at night
That's cute
Like I think that that
Is what I want
And then she gives it off to Judy Greer
And goes back and
Yeah
You know
That's good Also a nurse And then it gets Well gets my mum And then she gives it off to Judy Greer and goes back and, you know. That's good.
Also a nurse.
And then gets my mum and a nurse in the bunker.
And Judy Greer.
And Judy Greer.
Yeah.
But then you've got to be careful.
You've got to watch my mother.
She's going to try and sneak that Pentecostal Christianism into the bunker.
And then, you know, she'll work on it.
As punishment, she has to wear the white wig.
Do you think she would go off in the...
The cult's not welcome.
The cult is not welcome here
just the cult of avril lavigne um do you think that she would enjoy the bar where women are
having the best nights of their lives no she'll have she'll have like a couple of um fluffy ducks
or like a midori what's a fluffy duck um what's in a fluffy duck? Something called Advocat. And then Advocat.
Is it pineapple?
I don't know.
I don't know how to make it.
But trust me, she knows how to make it.
And she can make it in the bunker if you want.
That's right.
Well, it might be the first alcohol we have.
We'll check back in on that one later.
Okay, what's your mother's name if you were to get a share?
Oh, she's going to kill me.
Nikki.
Okay, so we're getting Nikki.
Dear old Nikki.
Okay, this is my pitch.
I think we have dear old Nikki in the bunker,
and she specifically is not allowed to start baking until two in the morning.
Yeah.
And she does have to work at 12.
Once she's finished her shift at the hospital.
She just has to work.
So we do need to have a tiny hospital for her to work in.
I think it's about time we, you know, put in a wing.
Yeah.
Just a wing
Sick bay
Sick bay
Yeah sick bay
And if anyone's feeling a bit off
They can go and lay down
Yeah and she has to do
A 12 hour
Supervising that
And she works 7 days a week
Well I mean
Assuming that there's going to be
People's birthdays most days
True
I don't know what calendar system
We're putting in the bunker
Good point
Not the Gregorian
Just do the
Once a month cake day No we're not doing that It not the gregorian just do the once a month cake day
no we're not doing that it was so sad oh why it was nice you don't even know how bleak this once
once a month cake day was it was just it's so impersonal and you'd be eating the cake
and someone would be like yeah it was my birthday they're like We are great Thanks for the cake Oh my god
Oh my
Yeah
You felt more like a little like
Like factory farm chicken
Than you ever do
It's like
Happy birthday
Okay
Quick story
When I worked at
Paul Louie Chinese
Matt don't laugh when I say that
When I worked at
Paul Louie Chinese restaurant
Wait slow down
What did you just say?
What? Paul Louie Paul Louie's Chinese restaurant. Wait, slow down. What did you just say? What?
Paul Louie's?
Paul Louie's Chinese restaurant.
Yeah.
When I was growing up, there was a guy who worked in the kitchen and he had a...
He'd hope so.
Then he had a second job of air conditioner maintenance.
Not the overlap I'd like.
And he told me a story once about when he went to like a ingham chicken farm and because they're in these like huge
like murdered den sheds and they're all like have air con i guess or like some kind of cooling
heating system yeah and he had to go and maintain them every now and then.
And to get to like the scaffolding, to climb up, to get to the thing,
like you'd open the door and you just had to walk.
Yeah.
And crush the chicks and chickens under your feet.
Oh my God.
Because there were just so many animals in that place.
Like they don't, there's no room for them to move aside for you to walk.
And you just had to like walk through.
Like being in an Evanescence concert.
Yeah.
And you like have to walk through and just footsteps of death.
Can't he slide?
He never slid his foot?
Yeah, he shuffled.
I don't know.
It was not my story.
If only I'd been there, I could have told him.
He was like sliding.
Then I'd only have to crush once and then I'd just move him around.
So fucked up.
That's, yeah, really sad.
Okay, but train birthday cake.
That's great.
Yeah.
Now, there are multiple carriages on the train.
Are they all the same cake?
Oh, so what was it when you had it?
I want that cake. Filthy filthy disgusting sponge cake well because i want it to be as in like the cake yeah your mother it can be
that yeah i think it has to be as it was the day that your dreams and hopes died and you developed
more of a general anxiety yeah and there's little you know
little piles of popcorn in each carriage is there as the coal um and yeah little biscuits as the
wheels incredible that's fun popcorn your mother was popping corn at three in the morning yeah
while you were asleep you know bed yeah i love I love it. Oh, my gosh.
Amazing.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
Oh, what a little cavalcade of joy going into the bunker this week.
And so we have the cult is going to be the family from the hills.
Yep.
With?
With some gorgeous bleak blonde bobs.
And?
And?
Tupperware.
Tupperware.
For beetroots or people's beets?
Faces.
Oh, faces.
Yeah.
And then?
Vanity.
Vanity.
Vanity to maintain the hair styling.
The wigs.
The wigs.
And I'm sure, you know what?
Do you think Vanity and your mother would be friends?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Vanity and Nikki having a fluffy duck together.
At 100%.
At 10 in the morning.
After she's off cake shift in sickbay vanity would be using the sickbay just for a cheeky lie down
they have to kick her off to get someone with a broken leg in
vanity you can't stay here she might have injured herself again
that's true yeah vanity's in but it's only when she got the hand injury oh i love that
the wigs are a little bit lopsided yeah that's fine um and then yeah a birthday cake the choo
choo birthday cake that eval was served on her fifth birthday yeah yeah made by nikki
late at night served by judy greer yeah served by judy greer because it's the last time and i think like that
nikki and judy greer probably become quite close oh yeah yeah okay and now eval i now finally get
to put something in the bunker one unadulterated thing which after you've already forced judy
greer and your mother my mother anything else dear I just love that Nikki is the first, like, just civilian woman that is just there.
She's seen some shit.
Yeah, I love a Pentecostal gal who's a nurse.
All right.
I have, there are two things.
So I feel like maybe I'll let you decide.
Oh, I love deciding.
Well, we always think the same, so that's good.
Since I've forced these things on you already.
Yeah.
Are you familiar with a band called R.E.M.?
Yes.
Yes.
They have a song.
Life.
Sorry, go.
Oh, life.
No, that's somebody else.
You go, you go.
They have a song called It's the End of the World.
Yeah.
You know it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Monkey rip-off face.
Exactly.
I would love for there to be a burnt CD of just that song.
Here's to you.
Playing off of a boom box that's connected to the intercom by an AUX cord.
In Oprah's room.
In Oprah's suite.
Yeah.
She probably has to hit repeat every now and then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it'll only play in the stairwells and the elevators.
Oh, good.
Just a bit of ambiance.
Yeah.
The other option for you is a portable DVD player,
probably about 10 inches.
But it is jammed.
The only DVD that is playable in there is Rat Race.
Oh, my God. The only DVD that is playable in there is Rat Race.
Oh, my God.
That's so good.
Okay.
I love Rat Race.
So that song feels like there are certain songs that make me feel like I'm having a stroke.
That would be one of them.
You often have a stroke. Just like completely dread of like,
I don't know if you're saying that song
because you have affection for it,
but it's like the dread of like,
like an unambitious life.
And you're like, you know,
like it's a song that they played towards the end
of like a 21st or a marriage or something.
It's like this Bogan celebration.
You've had to hear like the Grease mega mix.
And then that song plays later
and like the couples who have been together for 30 years
are like kissing on the dance floor and they go home
and they like watch their taped episode of Survivor before they go to bed.
It's just awful.
Lacey, is that the song that was playing at the end of your parents' wedding
after the cake melted?
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
No, I think it would have been Bruce Springsteen wall to wall,
so they were safe.
I can see.
Songs like that, you know, the genre.
Do you know?
Yeah.
That's a good song.
It's a pretty upbeat song.
Yeah, but like.
If you're thinking about the end of times.
Well, here's my reservation on the, in the HBO Max or, sorry, just Max.
In the like faux prestige television series of The Bunker,
like if you were going to make that,
they would have a needle drop where it's the end of the world,
as we know it would be playing in the
elevator and my fear is that it's like yeah it does feel like a television series it's like
yeah and so it feels a little bit too like on the nose whereas i think there's something very like
eerie about coming across a just jammed portable dvd player maybe 10 inches playing the rat race
menu in a hallway and then like it just you see it sometimes and sometimes you press play and
it's very at various points in the movie that doesn't feel like it's trying to tell me anything
about the the narrative of the bunker it just feels deeply like um unsettling surrealist like it's just like
what is that why is that and it does have a lot to say about you know the end of the world and
america what's rat race we've spoken about rat race
is it the car one no i don spoken about car No, I don't remember
We've spoken about car
Yeah, but I still
Which one is it?
It's an iconic movie starring
John Cleese
Kathy Najimy
Oh, okay
Yeah, that's coming back
Whoopi Goldberg
Wait, are they in a car chase?
Around the world
They're driving across America
Vegas to New Mexico
Yeah
From Paris to Berlin
If you're not going to listen to it
I'm going to explain it
I'm trying
Essentially there's a bunch of people that are staying
In a hotel casino
And they all get roped into
Competing in this eccentric
Billionaires
Folly to race
Across the country to get to this
Money first
But hilarity ensues.
Hilarity does ensue.
How many people are in each car?
Well, there's two to five.
Four.
John Lovett.
Can't they go to like a haunted house and win the money that way?
Stop rewriting things.
And it's called Rat Mansion.
Are you thinking of Mouse Hunt?
I don't know what you say I'm so sorry Eval that you've had to live through this
Oh my god
Rat Race, you should watch Rat Race because
Yeah I could do that
Yeah it's a great show
Kathy Najimy
Kathy Najimy having a good time
And Kathy Bates
Kathy Bates makes a cameo
Oh, yeah
And Smash Mouth
Smash Mouth, isn't it?
Oh, no
Somebody once told me the world was gonna
Would that play at that wedding?
We've done Shrek too much tonight
That would play at a Bogan wedding
Yeah
I think Smash Mouth is
And Seth Green, isn't it?
Seth Green, isn't it?
He is
Oh, my God
Well, I'll see it for Seth Green
And the other guy Zelda would love
The guy with the tongue piercing
Yeah
She would think he was very hot
It's a stereotype
Who is it
I'm going to look it up right now
Yeah
Who is
It's a guy with a tongue piercing
And rat race
Rat race
Type that down
I don't know
Who says things
Yeah so that's a perfect film
And yeah I do
I always coveted my friend's
Portable DVD player.
I used to think that was such a cool thing.
Oh, he's so hot.
Oh, and he's next to Seth Green in this photo.
That's hot.
They're traveling together.
They're gay.
They're brothers, I think.
Yeah.
Can't have it all.
All.
Maybe you're into that.
Hmm.
Um, I think, yeah.
What is it like? Uh, what kind of DVD player?
A portable one, 10 inches Maybe 10 inches
How much more specific can that be?
No, no, no, I'm thinking like color scheme
They're always kind of like a silver color
Yeah, you really can't get much variety, I'm afraid
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, cool
Good, not that REM
And, you know, you have to be careful as well
because if you pick it up or you tip it,
the disc will kind of skim and it'll be like...
Oh, that sound.
And you know that it's a scratching sound on the inside,
like on my PS2.
I always wanted to go to Big Brother just to win a PS2.
And now it's like you feel bad for those people.
That's all they got.
They gave away their dignity for an outdated console.
Okay, well, Miss E-Bell, what a fucking commotion.
What a fabulous time.
It's quite refreshing having someone on the pod who's intimately familiar with me.
Yeah, it's far too intimately familiar.
Great.
I've never listened before in my life.
It's been an absolute treat.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you so much.
And please come join us again sometime.
Thank you.
We have your mother.
We're not giving her back.
Give her back to me.
And so you can find Miss Eve L on her Instagram,
I assume somewhere like that.
TikTok, do you do that?
I'm not very good at that.
Okay, good.
Stay away from the TikTok.
Okay, well.
Incredible.
Thank you so much.
Ciao.
For now.
For now, but not forever.
Could you give me your best...
Oh, that's quite good.
I've seen that.
She's got a future in Snatch Game.
Okay.
Adios, mi amor.
It's time to go.
Bye.
