Eli MatthewsonGUEST
Let's, let's just say I had to get very up close and personal with some people I met 10 seconds before they were, um, standing almost naked and eventually completely naked in front of me.

Eli MatthewsonGUEST
Um, yeah, games like think of hens do party games and then multiply it by 100, and that's the sort of games we're playing on the show.

Harvey MortonHOST
What does it mean to both of you to be creating this queer-led comedy content that's so playful, uh, with identity and stereotypes and just, uh, really, you know, at the forefront of the conversation? 'Cause you were saying earlier, particularly with panel shows, you m- you know, you might get one gay panelist and that's it.

Eli MatthewsonGUEST
it.Yeah, I think I've, I've, um, I've just moved over from New Zealand not that long ago, and yeah, back there did some panel shows, but almost always was the only queer person on the lineup.

was innocent it wasn't like a career it wasn't like it was just sharing photos it was just sharing photos it wasn't like i'm gonna use this but and i'm guilty of it completely because i realized i could use it as a gallery and i don't need a gallery and i can build a following and everything and there was an accident it's just because the medium the platform suddenly exists and you can use it but now it's like it's not pictures anymore it's kind of doing the TikTok thing and it's like you're getting you're getting pushed into directions and all these things once you start realising that stuff it doesn't you know you start getting basically I think I've got paranoid it's like I don't trust anything I'm seeing if I'm in control of it or if somebody's showing me it and I'm gonna and it's only a matter of time before I post a stupid video and you're gonna have to tell me that it was Timu it's a Timu propaganda film because they've started making animated things and you know all that stuff

Eli MatthewsonGUEST
I've been getting a lot of videos because I watched one because I thought it was real of um Like people in wetsuits cleaning barnacles off whales.

Eli MatthewsonGUEST
And so it would be like a whale covered in barnacles and then some guys will swim down and clean it off.

Guy MontgomeryHOST
largely to see if anyone I knew enjoyed this movie and that's ancillary to what I wound up doing which was Eli saw you given it one star knowing you were going to come on and I opened your review just to get a flavour for it and I only read the first sentence which was no offence to anyone involved but I think this might actually be the worst movie I've ever seen you were so mad I was so pissed

Eli MatthewsonGUEST
i was so pissed and then i went on instagram so hot and i did a couple stories just to be like guys joker 2 sucks so bad i was so angry bear in mind i was invited to this movie for free by the people at the movie company and i tell you what then everyone got invites to wicked and i didn't get an invite and i was like Not only did I have a bad time at Joker 2, but it was so bad that it has now cost me Wicked.

Eli MatthewsonGUEST
