it like a voice last week, because it made me chuckle.

0:27

but I don't know if I have any other voices in the

0:29

one trick pony. Hello.

0:31

I'm Courtney Act. And I've

0:33

vanity. And welcome to

0:37

Call me. Before we get started to

0:39

do this bit serious. Before we get started, we wanted

0:41

to acknowledge the traditional

0:43

owners of the land where recording on the Gatigal

0:45

people of the E Origination. Hello,

0:48

vanity. How are you today? Oh, thank

0:50

you, Courtney. How are you? I'm good. Oh, we

0:52

never did that ASMR episode when

0:54

I lost my voice. I thought it would

0:56

be a great idea if we weren't

0:57

going to spend the ironman dialogue episode. because

0:59

that's all I could do, but you didn't think it was a good

1:02

idea at the time. I hope it would

1:03

have been quite funny. I just did all episodes

1:05

like this.

1:06

Can you even hear me? No. I

1:08

can't hear you. And I bring up that episode. That was

1:10

traumatic Brenda, I have an update.

1:12

I have a life update. Okay. Go on.

1:14

Well, I

1:16

have been mentioning on

1:17

the pod

1:18

over since the twenty fourth of July,

1:21

I think it was when I went to the Lady Gaga

1:23

concert in Paris, my left

1:25

big toe. Now, I've always said that

1:27

I contain all of my imperfections in

1:29

the lower right Courtney of my body

1:32

I've got my scar from a skiing

1:34

accident. I've got a

1:36

knee scar where I fell over and I've got my web

1:38

toe and I've got, well, I guess both of my

1:40

feet have got, you know, calist,

1:44

ballerina style pads of

1:46

skin from twenty two years wearing high heels.

1:48

But now, my lower

1:51

left portion of my body has joined

1:53

in on the

1:55

imperfection in

1:56

the form of my big toe now. Mhmm. So it was

1:58

covered over with gel. for since

2:00

July basically. And it's been taken off once

2:03

since July. And she took it off and she was like, oh,

2:05

and I looked and I was like, oh, yeah. just banged it.

2:07

It's it just looked like it lifted up and it'll grow

2:09

out. Content

2:11

warning. Yeah. Trigger trigger warning.

2:14

Yeah. I'm already triggered. Just fast forward.

2:16

I I just actually just thought about what's coming

2:18

next, and I got a little bit of, like, Like,

2:21

just fast forward a minute and a half if you don't

2:23

like content about Tony's

2:25

scuffling things. And then she's

2:27

sort of like fuzzed off. Yeah.

2:32

No. No. No. I think I wanna hear

2:35

it. You know, can I do my triple one? Can I pass it

2:37

on? Just look curious. Wow. It's

2:39

a green. Okay. You can

2:41

start now. I was just oh my god.

2:43

Anyway, she cut it off And then I went

2:45

to the podiatrist, which I've never done. Mhmm.

2:47

He was quite handsome. He had

2:49

very foot

2:50

doctor type pants. And

2:54

he Was he was he was he bulging?

2:56

Was he pecking? Well, he the his

2:58

rump was very well fitted.

3:00

But

3:01

he he what did

3:04

he say? was asking about,

3:04

like, my bunions and my arches

3:06

and he said, oh, yeah. You always have to look at the

3:09

mother-in-law's feet. And I was like, I

3:11

was like, I'm not a scientist, but I'm

3:13

pretty sure that you don't

3:15

get your feet from your mother-in-law. And

3:18

he was like, no, no, for my wife. And I was like,

3:20

oh, Oh, okay. Right. Yeah. Sure.

3:22

I don't know. I have something

3:24

about your wife's. It's a I guess it's a straight thing.

3:26

I didn't quite understand it. But

3:29

he yeah. He looked at it and he was, like,

3:31

come back in ten weeks and and we'll see. So

3:33

I currently have, like, a

3:36

third of a big toe nail. And yesterday,

3:38

I was there see filming something. And

3:40

I put on my lubes and I realized

3:42

it was a peep toe. And, oh,

3:44

you could see it was my toe now, so I just framed

3:47

my big toe. So I put the aid

3:49

on it. Oh. While I press

3:51

on press on tone. Yeah. Press on ten hours. Well, you

3:53

can do do what they do is to do it in

3:55

in the the patches in America heard.

3:58

they put stockings on, and then

3:59

glue turn out to this stockings. I believe

4:02

she's over them. Oh, that's nice. That's

4:04

a huge retail. That's attention to

4:06

it. Like, while I was having my ears closed, not wanting

4:08

to hear you to tell them about stinking and how

4:10

to grow disgusting. No. had

4:14

a curious as she was doing it.

4:16

She said she said to me a few

4:18

times. Can you smell it?

4:21

I'm like, I was like, oh my

4:24

god, I can't. But the fact that

4:26

you can and you're asking if I can

4:28

makes me feel just horrible.

4:31

Like, was it was it just because it had

4:33

lifted and, like, it just it did had

4:35

just gotten in there and just been sitting? I

4:37

think So the podiatrist said that it

4:39

could be fungal, but he wasn't quite sure

4:41

and come back in ten weeks and to just

4:43

12:47

back up. I don't wanna spend the first two weeks of January

12:49

up there. Oh, that's lovely. Yeah. Yeah. Just just

12:51

chill out. I've I you know, it's it's like, you know,

12:53

I I haven't had a holiday since my fortieth, which is

12:55

four years ago. And I kind

12:57

of feel that, you know,

12:59

if all I wanna do is just

13:01

go and do nothing. You know what I

13:03

mean? I can do that at mom's for free.

13:05

And I get to spend time with mom and it's, you

13:07

know, spend time with the family it's just nice. It's

13:09

it's recharge. And I love being up there. I I really

13:11

do. So it's like, you know, I might spend thousands

13:13

and thousand dollars on a holiday, but I can just go

13:15

and lay in bed mountain's

13:17

so much television in my room alone. And grass

13:19

to run around. Yeah. Exactly.

13:21

know what? I

13:34

Yes. I love Mariah. I love Mariah Carey. Yes. I

13:36

absolutely like what yes. I do. Do you hate

13:38

the fact that every single Mariah Carey thing on

13:40

Instagram I send to you? Everyone

13:42

sends to me. Everyone. Oh,

13:45

like oh, I think they think I haven't seen

13:47

it. Like, first of all, I I love right. So I see it

13:49

myself anyway for the first time. Like, I

13:51

I see it myself and then I get sent it

13:53

14:04

I'm

14:05

I

14:10

I'm not actually I'm I'm not

14:12

doing any Mariah this year for Christmas. And so

14:14

I'm kind of not in the Christmas spirit. Mariah

14:16

always puts me in the Christmas spirit. And

14:18

like, you know, we're always I'm always making a new dress or a new

14:20

Christmas outfit because I was thinking, oh, each year, I'll do

14:22

something different than, you know, my collection gets bigger

14:24

of my Mariah Christmas outfits. And

14:26

but I'm not doing anything this year, which is great because

14:28

I just don't I don't wanna do anything in December.

14:31

And and so I'm glad nothing is booked

14:33

in. Oh,

14:33

you're doing a silver ghibli in

14:35

December, but nothing Yeah. But that you know, that's

14:37

early December. That's that's over, you know.

14:39

And so I haven't

14:42

been listening to any

14:45

Christmas music I haven't listened

14:46

to all of them for Christmas since you once.

14:48

But the the what gets me is, like,

14:50

people send me, like, all those memes about,

14:52

like, them hating that song. And but

14:54

they're, like, I know you're a little bit

14:56

sorry. Thumbs would be funny. Yeah. You thought

14:58

Dear, Brenda. I

16:50

have been loving you both for far for many years

16:52

and love listening to your podcast. I'm a

16:54

forty year old lady from Sydney, oh, hi.

16:56

Married two children and I have been wondering,

16:59

are our straight boring white chicks actually

17:01

annoying. I do

17:03

enjoy intending a good drag

17:06

bingo night at the pub with my Wednesday night

17:08

ladies. Then in brackets, we meet

17:10

weekly fans, husband and children to chat and enjoy

17:12

each other's company. And

17:14

sadly, have missed out on a lot

17:16

of the last few years, Re COVID, etcetera. Anyway,

17:18

we've been going tonight with a

17:20

fave queen and had so

17:22

much fun, but I did start

17:24

think, are my back of the room banner attempts more

17:27

annoying than fun for you girls?

17:29

Cheers, Mindy. Well, I'd

17:31

say we can't answer that

17:33

specifically, Mindy, us being

17:35

a big nigga. No. Yeah. We're a

17:37

big nigga. Sorry. We're a big nigga. No.

17:39

I think, like, the thing like

17:41

you said, like, us straight white.

17:44

I can't see where it says

17:45

it. Straight white

17:48

is white. She's actually A9II

17:51

feel like when you say that, like,

17:53

maybe you've heard, like, drag

17:55

queens or people who are like, oh, or something

17:57

like that. And or like the idea of like

17:59

straight women in

18:00

a gay bar. And I think that there's

18:02

when there's like gay tourism,

18:05

Like, when a bachelorette

18:07

party is like, oh my god.

18:09

You know what? She did for my bachelorette party. We should

18:11

go to the Dayba. Let's

18:12

go for Oxbridge Street. Just like yeah.

18:14

and you have, like, the tiara with dicks on it -- Trung. -- like,

18:16

really I've knocked like this. And sort of, like, don't aren't

18:18

aware that you're in someone else's space.

18:21

That's the kind of thing

18:23

that maybe Yeah. Amen

18:25

and Quail -- Yeah. -- don't enjoy.

18:27

But I think when you're coming to a

18:29

space and like you're playing bingo and having good time

18:31

at your brands and

18:33

you're like, you know, you sound like you're just

18:35

a lovely person

18:36

having fun at Bingo. I I

18:38

-- Yeah. -- love and support and welcome

18:40

you. you back at the room banner attempts, you have to

18:42

read the drag queen and see whether they like,

18:45

if

18:45

if it becomes a if

18:47

yeah. Pick up on

18:49

what they're saying. If they're sort of

18:52

saying shut up, Indi, then,

18:55

you know, But, yeah, they're enjoying it.

18:57

But, you know Yeah. Maybe they can they can't hear

18:59

it. Maybe just you'll just, you know, distracting

19:01

the people around you. Maybe it's not about the dry queen's head. It's about

19:03

the people around you. Maybe you the finger numbers.

19:05

Mindy. But I'm gonna I'm gonna say to you, Mindy,

19:07

that, you know, we what was it? Are

19:09

are straight, boring, watched, chick's actually

19:11

annoying? I'm gonna say Yes.

19:13

But I'm gonna say that not

19:15

just you girls, everyone could be

19:17

annoying in the right environment, like

19:19

it's I find people who touch me. I'm

19:21

in drag, annoying. Very annoying, and very, like,

19:24

I get very upset about that, like and

19:26

like, people who, like, come up to you and they're like, try and

19:28

touch your makeup. Don't worry. I'm a makeup

19:30

artist. I'm like, look at and then, like, touch it just my hair

19:32

or but I've had I've had I've had people so

19:34

it's not just girls. It's not just like it's not it's not a it's

19:36

not a gender thing. It's not it's not like that.

19:38

just people it's just common sense and it's and

19:40

it's politeness and it's, you know, spatial awareness --

19:43

Yeah. -- drag. It's not consent. It's not. Yeah.

19:45

And just because we're there on

19:47

display, doesn't that we can poke and share

19:49

some poke and prod and, like, I think people will touch and,

19:51

like, take my hair off. Just people, like

19:53

like, think that they can just take my wig off and

19:55

put on themselves It's like, oh, you're doing. Don't fucking

19:57

touch me. Don't fuck what you're doing.

19:59

Yeah. And then get

19:59

angry when I say, no. Yeah. As

20:02

if, like, that's their right? Yeah. So,

20:04

like, so think as long as you're being,

20:06

you know, respectful and and

20:08

aware. Yeah. Then then, no. You're not annoying. We'd

20:10

we'd like having everyone around. Yeah. That's

20:12

wonderful. It's all about inclusion. It's

20:14

all about you know, everyone coming and enjoying the space

20:16

and having good time. Yeah. Especially

20:18

Bingo. Especially Bingo. Yeah. I think Bingo is a

20:20

Bingo for everyone. Bingo is for everyone. Yeah. I

20:22

mean, the men's toilets at universal

20:24

on a Saturday night at about one AM when

20:26

there is gonna hit everyone. Yeah.

20:32

I went. Saturday night back to

20:34

our spiritual home of the -- Yeah. -- former

20:36

midnight shift. And I've

20:38

I've overcome my PTSD.

20:41

because you and Ashley and I, who you can see

20:43

this Sunday night at -- Mhmm. -- beresford

20:45

in Maxi

20:46

and Vanity, Silver Jubilee. We

20:49

we

20:49

spent a lot of our youth there.

20:52

Mhmm. And I went back because everyone was going

20:54

like, oh, let's go to universal. I'm like, oh, what's

20:56

that? And I got, I was like, this isn't gonna be shifts.

20:58

And the toilets are still the same.

21:00

They've renovated. Yeah. And

21:03

I was a

21:06

bit, like, than a full unisex toilet, though? They they've just got,

21:08

like, twenty --

21:10

Yeah. -- individual toilet paper grades. Not

21:12

floor to ceiling, no. Ceiling

21:14

to cough. They're

21:14

not stupid. And then the and then the security map body

21:17

line comes along and, like, pam's over and,

21:19

like, tries to look underneath. And,

21:21

like, this is America. You just slip him twenty dollars

21:23

to keep his nose out of it. Yep.

21:26

But

21:26

that

21:28

really fun. And I went to Heapsky, which is like a queer

21:31

party and I've wanted

21:31

to go to you for years. I felt like I was

21:34

on the set of heartbreak high, the

21:36

new television show, all euphoria.

21:39

with, you know, less hard drugs, I think.

21:41

But lots of lots of colored lights and lots

21:43

of young queer folk dancing and

21:45

enjoying themselves. There's lots of fun. Yeah.

21:47

Anyway,

21:47

could you feel old? Yeah.

21:51

You did. You can't think about

21:53

that too long. You I

21:56

didn't

21:56

feel old, but I did feel like

21:57

I was standing on the

21:59

edge looking in. Yeah. Yeah.

22:02

I I have I have crossed the threshold where

22:04

I I felt like I look at I'll

22:06

go through my Instagram page, and I'm like,

22:08

look at all these people doing things like, oh,

22:10

look at them leaving their best lives, like,

22:12

oh, they're twenty one. Oh, no.

22:13

I've done that. No. No. No. No. No. I just

22:15

realized, like, I just had this this thing that clicked on, like,

22:17

oh, yeah. That's they're they're they're

22:20

young. Yeah. And you were like, no. You're old.

22:22

Yeah. Well, that's the same thing. Isn't it? That

22:24

means the same thing. And I'm fine with that.

22:26

Totally fine with that. Next one.

22:28

Joey from Newtown. Dea,

23:26

meeting on

23:27

some level, and

23:29

it extraordinary

23:30

number of really

23:32

famous women. Like

23:34

Meryl Streep, I've had a

23:36

a chat with. She was I

23:38

was performing at the premiere of MamaMear and she

23:41

was outside of stage and we had, like, a a

23:43

good solid five minute

23:45

sort of key key. Baton Rouge I met very

23:47

briefly on the red carpet at

23:49

Priscilla. Grace Jones have hung out with in a

23:51

hotel room for several hours.

23:53

Madonna, I met at

23:55

her concert. Kylie, I've met a

23:57

few times, and I was a guest at her fiftieth

23:59

birthday party, which was lots of fun. Share

24:01

share I've met a bunch of

24:04

times. Who else

24:06

is there? What's it? Gaga? Gaga,

24:08

met a bunch of times. She's

24:10

a delight. Let me I'll zoom in on

24:12

Gaga. I mean, all of those women were

24:16

magical

24:16

and, like, fulfilled Did

24:18

you ever meet Oprah? Oprah, you

24:20

did? Yes. Yes. Yeah.

24:22

I was was the one where I lost

24:24

the power of speech. I

24:27

was just like, she's the one like,

24:29

all the others is I was just having a good old cakey.

24:31

And I probably was like, thank

24:34

you. Mhmm. I

24:35

think that's all I meant. I'm talking with everyone

24:38

like that. Yeah. Everyone. Every

24:40

single no matter who it is. Like Yeah.

24:44

Gaga.

24:44

The first time I met

24:45

Gaga, I was singing her birthday

24:48

party, in the royal botanic gardens

24:50

in Cambra, which is where she happened to be on

24:52

her birthday.

24:53

And she was just a delight. It was

24:55

when born this way to come out. It was like,

24:57

Pete Gaga and she was

24:59

so engaged and

25:02

interested. And I

25:02

remember I had to, like, lead her down

25:05

this sort of, like, garden path. Like, it's pitch

25:07

black. She's wearing eight inch platforms. I'm

25:09

wearing high heels. And

25:11

I've got her on my arm, and I had sort of lead her

25:13

through this sort of jungle y bit of

25:15

the garden with like a techie torch in

25:17

one hand and Gaga in the upper.

25:19

And she's like chatting away and saying

25:21

like, oh, you know, it's like, I'm

25:23

Gaga, but I'm also Stephanie, and, like, you're

25:25

Courtney. And, like, you find? Well, I'm, like,

25:27

just really interested and

25:30

engaged and lovely and Boyfriends.

25:32

every time I've met her, she's, like,

25:35

remembered who I was, like, said

25:38

hello. Like, when she performed it,

25:40

never mind. She came out the back stairs. By

25:42

like, by her

25:42

she didn't buy herself. There was a whole

25:45

security detail,

25:45

but they were all, like, fighting off

25:48

thirty days in the back Valley

25:50

of of Never Mind. And she sort of came

25:52

up the stairs. I think I've I've definitely wrote

25:54

about this in the book, I think. But she I could see,

25:56

like, the camera flashes. on

25:58

the the wall of the fire escape and

26:00

sort of see the silhouette of Gaga. Like in

26:02

my mind, it's like a movie. See the silhouette of

26:04

Gaga and she turned around the corner. She was like, oh,

26:06

Courtney, how are you? I was

26:09

like, I think, Shady Gaga. And,

26:11

yeah, she was just a delight.

26:13

And, like, her manager, Bobby, is

26:15

just a delight. like, they're they're just

26:17

they're just a wonderful group

26:19

of people. And when they put on that

26:21

show, never

26:21

mind, it was mind blowing. She

26:23

brought along nine dancers on that stage. She

26:26

just wanted to perform at a at a at a at a

26:28

authentic gay bar. Yeah. And

26:30

then never wasn't enough that she wanted to point

26:32

back as well. Yeah. Okay.

26:34

So what about negative

26:36

people? What about negative story? Any any

26:38

negative stories? Anyone you've meant that you're going long.

26:40

She's a dog. Size is the

26:42

obvious ones. Size is the obvious ones. I don't think

26:45

so.

26:48

No. What about

26:50

your arch nemesis? Who's

26:53

your

26:53

arch nemesis when you're in

26:55

in in in America? But

26:58

Tiffany, Oh.

26:58

Oh, god. I forgot about

27:00

that. I just asked. Well, you

27:02

don't have to put that. We kind of remember,

27:05

wow. because when we put when I performed the rocket, remember when we were

27:07

there in New York on a Friday night? She snubbed you with

27:09

someone else. She was like, what's your name

27:11

again? And she like, please, welcome to the what's

27:13

what's it? And she was just a bit, like, bit

27:15

of a thing. You see? Yeah. And dismissive. And so then

27:17

we decide that she was my She didn't

27:19

know about it. She's an only that

27:21

one incident for a few years. We're like, oh, god. People need to get paid

27:23

my arch nemesis, but she's

27:26

that lovely. And nice to no

27:28

one else. Not Okay. No no dish

27:30

here. Hannah, come on. Scroll on. Yeah. Sorry. You

27:33

know, that's one of the

27:33

dish. That one of the dirt. I know. I know.

27:35

But, you know, I've been with a ten day

27:36

silent meditation retreat. I'm

27:38

I'm enlightened now.

27:44

Dear,

27:44

Brenda. Dear, Brenda.

27:47

Hey, Brenda. I noticed as I navigate the

27:49

dating space that more and more

27:51

queer men are polyamorous and have

27:53

more than one partner, I am supportive

27:55

of people doing what they want,

27:57

but I am definitely a one

27:59

partner only kind person. But

28:01

what are your thoughts? Is

28:03

polyamorous something either of you are

28:05

into? Thanks, Tom. Well,

28:07

as a spin star. Well, I'm not

28:09

at oh, no. You're not anymore.

28:11

Well, I'm getting your Brenda wet

28:13

from what you said previously. say? I'm I'm I'm I'm

28:15

over it now, I think. Okay. Wasn't anything

28:18

since the last time? No. About it? No.

28:20

No. They've they've tried. I'm so now I might off.

28:22

On board now. I

28:24

think I've wet my whistle and I'm done. But

28:26

if I if I if

28:28

I was not a Spencer and I did have a

28:30

partner, I would want I think I'd want

28:33

a a monogamous relationship. I'm

28:35

I'm an old fashioned girl. And

28:37

I wanna be in some, like,

28:40

queer, polyamorous

28:42

web of You wanna

28:44

be goose barreting to twine?

28:48

No. But, like,

28:50

I I guess, like, burning

28:52

man.

28:53

I I've been in open relationships. I've never been

28:55

in like a polyamorous relationship where I

28:57

had like multiple partners at once,

28:59

but I've been in an open

29:01

relationship with one person where

29:04

you can have extra

29:06

marital relations. Mhmm.

29:08

But actually, it's

29:08

interesting because I think that a

29:11

lot of gay

29:12

men, more than queer men, I would say,

29:14

to generalize. The

29:17

open relationship model exists in this way where

29:19

you only have a

29:21

a romantic and emotional

29:24

connection to one person that you can have

29:26

sexual connections to other. And I was

29:28

like that when I was younger, but actually as I've

29:30

gotten older, that actually doesn't make

29:32

sense to me because for me, sex

29:34

isn't just a

29:36

physical thing. It's an emotional

29:38

and romantic and sexual thing. And so

29:40

even if that is for one night or one hour,

29:42

it still needs to

29:44

have a a frisson

29:47

of

29:48

emotion and feeling and stuff

29:50

like that to

29:50

it. And this idea of emotional

29:54

infidelity or romantic infidelity or

29:56

physical infidelity is not something that I

29:58

I personally subscribe to anymore

30:00

because I understand that like, if I'm

30:02

with my partner and I love them and they

30:04

love me, then that's one

30:06

thing and that my relationship isn't like pie.

30:08

It's not like there's a finite number

30:10

of pieces and if somebody else has one, then it means

30:12

I love my partner any less. I still

30:14

love my partner. the same

30:16

amount regardless. And

30:19

I I guess I

30:21

I

30:21

don't I don't maybe when I was younger, I

30:23

was like more attached to the idea

30:26

and I just thought like, oh, it's fine to because I

30:28

guess a lot of my gay role

30:30

models also embodied that

30:33

model

30:33

And actually

30:34

now, I kind of like the idea

30:37

of being

30:38

more free and open and like if I wanted

30:40

to go on a date with somebody

30:43

or date someone else. Obviously, it's all about

30:45

communication and conversation. There's a great book called

30:47

the ethical slut, which

30:49

is all about polyamorous

30:52

consensual non monogamy and the

30:54

different dynamics because it's not all

30:56

just

30:56

one blanket thing. There's lots

30:59

of different models. There's another great book

31:01

called Made in Captivity by Esther Perrell, who I

31:03

went to see at the ICC on Friday

31:05

night. Great

31:05

book which talks about this dynamic

31:07

tension in a relationship between

31:09

security and freedom,

31:10

which I find really interesting.

31:12

And it's

31:14

all about what works for you, Tom, I think. And

31:16

if you're a monogamous person,

31:18

then I think that's important to

31:21

acknowledge in yourself and you don't

31:23

have to try to be something

31:25

that you're not. But I guess

31:27

also, for a lot of us, we've

31:29

grown up with this idea of monogamy

31:31

being the only idea. Yeah. I

31:33

think my idea of belonging is more of a fantasy. You know what I

31:35

mean? Like, and because me Yeah. Because,

31:37

like, I don't I have no plans on being

31:39

in a relationship. So, like, one

31:41

fantasize about the perfect relationship, you know, for me, like, you know what

31:43

I mean? But I I do believe, like, as

31:46

adults and and which is gay

31:48

men, like, mistakes can happen. You have to be realistic,

31:51

man. Yeah. Well and

31:53

like like like like mistakes happen. And you

31:55

have to be realistic. Like,

31:58

you should be able to be realistic. So, you know,

31:59

like, if if someone does

32:02

mess up, then I think having a good conversation

32:04

about it and being able to be open and and and

32:06

talk it through his better than flying

32:08

off the handle and going all crazy. And

32:10

maybe even -- No. -- reach their own. Yeah. But

32:12

maybe even, like, rather

32:14

than allowing it to be a mess up sort of having

32:16

the conversation beforehand and understanding what

32:18

these boundaries are. Yeah. It's obviously all about what

32:20

your deal breakers are, what your red

32:22

flags are, and and negotiating and

32:25

talking about that. I don't think I'm really the old story to

32:27

be keeping relationship advice anyway.

32:29

So don't miss anything I say. I think I

32:31

do keep you know, regional boyfriends around the which,

32:33

you know, I've got my Cincinnati,

32:36

Ohio boyfriend. I've got my Northern

32:38

California boys. I still have them. I

32:40

do. Yeah. You're like you're

32:42

like What's her name in in

32:44

in Greece? Marty? She's like,

32:46

I'm a very good penpal.

32:48

Yeah. My

32:51

33:03

33:17

33:19

that I had seen him on the telly and he said he'd

33:21

seen me on the telly too. It's

33:23

a real modern love story.

33:25

It really is. you know. Celebrities have a half a live

33:28

time. You know, for private lives

33:30

33:33

33:44

33:46

No. But especially, heterosexuals, but

33:48

-- Yeah. -- I'd I'd just feel that

33:50

33:52

nine. I have a actually,

33:54

I'm on a teller story. I'd like

33:56

to live in a a lovely healthy commune one

33:58

day. Pardon? I'd love to

33:59

live in clear hippie coming one day where my body is

34:02

community property. Just

34:04

just

34:04

just pass around the same

34:07

the same Bye with the eyes. You're way everybody gets a

34:09

test on the way in.

34:12

Anyway, moving

34:14

on. Okay. Hi,

34:15

Brenda. This is Sarah from NYC.

34:17

Tia. Brenda. Dee Brenda. Vanity,

34:21

I really appreciate how candidly you speak about your mental

34:24

health. It really helps me feel better about

34:26

myself. A question I have is, how

34:28

do you navigate the

34:30

silly season? I find all the

34:32

socialized. Sorry. Oh, did you

34:34

break the table again? I think

34:35

it's already broken.

34:38

A

34:38

question I have is, how do you navigate the silly season? I find all

34:40

the socializing in the alcohol a bit difficult.

34:42

Thanks for the week. Oh my

34:44

god. Thanks for the weekly. Thanks

34:47

for the weekly giggles. Love the show.

34:49

Sarah, did you forget to use polydent on your teeth

34:51

again? No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I do.

34:53

I'll push my

34:56

teeth in. you know what? This I'm like I said

34:58

before, I'm

35:00

i'm

35:01

not I I

35:04

need to break this this silly season. Like, this this

35:06

I'm

35:07

like, I've

35:07

gotten to the point where I actually need to take time off from just

35:10

I'll I'll do my my job my work and

35:12

I was focused on that, but I'm

35:15

this silly season is

35:18

I'm purposefully not booking anything

35:20

in. Like I said, sort of tapped on at the top of the episode.

35:22

Right? Yeah. Right. Yeah. We've had it before.

35:25

Yeah. And so so

35:28

I it's and

35:30

each for me, each is different. My

35:32

mental health goes in cycles, and

35:34

it's unfortunate, this cycle has lasted

35:37

a long time. And and I,

35:39

you know, I'm still navigating

35:41

it. And so talking about, like,

35:43

last silly season was fine. I had a great time. I

35:45

had a wonderful time and I was busy and I was,

35:47

you know, out socializing and it didn't affect me and

35:49

didn't bother me. I was loving life, but

35:52

this year I'm definitely it's not III

35:54

won't be able to go into a a silly season

35:58

like that. this year. I

35:59

know it's one of the most important things, isn't it? Just

35:59

knowing where you're at. I I need

36:02

to take a step back, but also but for me, like, I

36:04

haven't been able to take a step back in a way

36:06

because, like, I've been busy, and I've got

36:08

things to do. But, like, like,

36:10

once that's a once I do believe it's over, once

36:12

we film next week, it's a sprint to call me

36:14

for a break. And so I was like and then it's and

36:16

then I, like, can

36:18

just chill out -- You know? -- and just focus on

36:20

on chill out. Just chill out. Just chill

36:22

out. So I don't know. Like, it's it's it's

36:24

hard with mental health because everyone's

36:26

Everyone has their own journey. It affects

36:28

everyone differently, and everyone has different

36:30

coping mechanisms. It it's brought

36:32

on by different things if I've got

36:34

different triggers. Mhmm. So I guess it's just

36:36

important for you to know what your triggers are and

36:38

just and just, you know, listen to your

36:39

body and your and do what

36:41

feels right for you. And if you don't wanna if you don't wanna be

36:44

social, then don't and don't and it's not there's

36:46

no problem with saying no. Yeah. Or and

36:48

if anyone has a problem with saying, no. Thank you,

36:50

your friends. like and don't and

36:52

don't feel like you need to make excuses and lie

36:54

about it. Yeah. Just say, I

36:56

don't feel like doing that. And these are

36:58

like, and and or and this is the reason. And or if you don't give a reason to say, I don't

37:00

feel like doing that. Do you mind if we don't? Sorry, I'm like,

37:02

I didn't wanna come. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.

37:04

Get a bad day. Just give up.

37:07

So yeah. No. I've got to

37:09

that point now, like, where I'm just like, no. I

37:11

I actually just don't wanna do that. Do

37:13

you mind? Like,

37:15

that'd be really great if I if I don't have to

37:17

do that. Like, well, yeah,

37:18

it's it's a lie. Is it make like make up

37:20

a white lie to protect their feelings? So

37:22

you didn't hurt their feelings, but it's about,

37:24

oh, make your excuse a legitimate excuse

37:27

because you don't think that your excuse like, you're

37:29

just wanting to look after your mental health or just do what

37:31

you wanna do is a legitimate excuse. So

37:33

I've just got to the point now where it's like, I don't wanna

37:35

do that. Yeah. Or if I make

37:37

plans, don't feel like you've gotta commit to them, like,

37:40

give it to give it plenty of notice

37:42

to cancel. but, like, don't don't call up when they're there at the restaurant.

37:44

Yeah. That's rude. Yeah. But, like, a few days

37:46

before, you can say, hey, look, I've thought about it and I really don't

37:48

wanna do it even in the morning. If it's

37:50

really bad, Like, wafreight

37:52

-- Yeah. -- wafreight, but like wafreight.

37:55

Yeah. Good.

37:56

Yeah.

45:20

it was like basically a raw

45:22

egg that had been cooked for like two

45:25

seconds on the bottom and the entire top was

45:28

just raw. Well, I just don't know being in a restaurant because

45:30

I took a sorts of restaurants to, you know, wine

45:32

45:34

And it was, like, like pork.

seafood. And remember being like, we just get some vegetables, and it was

45:45

it was almost a bit like

45:47

we'd not offended them,

45:49

45:51

oh, no. But you have to eat. You know, it's a

45:54

customary thing. Yeah. Yeah. It was very sweet.

49:50

So those me, Daryana Dorian Bianca, left.

49:52

49:54

like, just so you know,

49:56

at the end of the day, we're gonna

49:58

film sending one of you home, which ended up ultimately

50:00

being darien. And I was

50:03

like, oh, Can I

50:05

go first? Because I feel like I've I

50:07

won't be good if I

50:08

have to like, after everyone's been like,

50:10

oh, I have to go. And so I

50:14

wanted to Field genuine, and then they didn't mention it again. And then it got the

50:16

end of the filming day, and Rupol, we all

50:18

had to lit well, we lip synced two at

50:22

a time. and then we're all

50:24

on the stage. And

50:25

Rupol said, whatever, it's sachet

50:28

away, Courtney Act. And

50:29

I was like,

50:31

wait. Is this talking about the beginning of the day? Or is

50:33

this real? Am I going home now? Which is

50:36

perfect. We accept they didn't use

50:38

it, which is good? But I

50:40

gave, like, a genuine because

50:42

I genuinely thought I was going home.

50:44

And then I got off to the site of the

50:46

station. I

50:47

was like, and

50:50

the the the Yeah. Braze

50:51

it. Yeah. Braze it. I was like Thor.

50:53

And she's

50:53

like, oh, because we're now we've got a film with everyone. I was like,

50:55

oh, thank god. Oh, no.

51:00

So, like, But that's that's what you want when you're too effective. Like, a little

51:02

girl can you want. You're acting as you're strong. Imagine you,

51:04

like, having to act your way through that. Well, when little

51:06

girl can you on dancing with

51:08

the stars and then I had to feel my

51:10

one second. I was

51:12

like, he's got it. There's no way if you

51:14

were a producer of the TV show, no matter what

51:16

the votes said, you have to go with little Grand Daniel's reaction because it was

51:18

brilliant. Like, the boys picked him up and threw him

51:20

above

51:20

his head -- Mhmm. -- and

51:22

it was,

51:22

like, such a genuine. I was, like,

51:24

oh my god. He was

51:26

and then it got to me and I

51:28

was like, I can't pretend I can't pretend that

51:29

well because then

51:30

you'll all just think I'm a

51:33

fake. Mhmm. And Yeah.

51:36

Anyway

51:37

anyway. Okay. Let's do

51:39

one last

51:41

one. Pride. We

51:43

are right. Sydney will pride.

51:45

Fun. Fun. Are you looking

51:47

forward to Sydney will

51:50

pride?

51:50

Yeah. Yeah. how are you still so scared then?

51:52

Oh, I don't know. I'm just scared. Well, because if you

51:54

no. That's why I think I'm I really want this month off because

51:56

I wanna, like, be in a good hip space

51:59

for all that next year. I

51:59

have I really wanna enjoy that. Oh,

52:02

good. Yeah. That'd be amongst it all. You

52:04

know, not not not not the young stuff. It's not for

52:06

the kids. you know. Just

52:08

feel the vibe or the pick from the

52:10

overseas. Yeah. Coming back to

52:11

our fair shows again. Catch you up real. Catch

52:13

you catch the the bus into Oxford Street and walk

52:15

up and down Oxford Street and

52:17

I'm I'm looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to it, not happy

52:19

to, like, you know. Have you ever got

52:21

tickets everyone listening? If you're from

52:23

the overseas and you're thinking about coming to Sydney

52:25

Well Pride and you're like, the tickets

52:28

for x ones that are sold

52:30

out. Well, then

52:31

they are, but they're

52:33

not for you. and I believe this

52:35

is public facing information. If you book through one

52:37

of Sydney World Prides travel

52:40

partners, they

52:41

actually have ticket

52:44

packages that are being

52:46

held. So if

52:47

you're from overseas, you

52:49

can buy tickets still for the

52:51

parade, for the opening with Courtney live.

52:54

Live Courtney, whatever you said, with Carly

52:58

Munogue. and the

53:00

the the domain has got these two big

53:02

parties. So the Mardi Gras party, which

53:04

is only the hoarding this year because

53:06

the r HIs sold to the NRSRO.

53:08

So it's only about ten thousand people when used to

53:10

be, you know, fourteen, twenty

53:13

thousand people. So when

53:15

you go to my others here,

53:17

don't be disappointed the and the forecourt and city life.

53:19

There's no RHI. Anyway,

53:22

there's the two parties in

53:22

the domain, which are for twenty five

53:26

thousand and people on each of the Sundays. In my mind, they're

53:28

the big parties. The big parties. Yeah.

53:30

They've still got tickets for all of the locals.

53:32

A big day

53:34
