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.
5:03
Um, so, uh, bananas were out there.
5:07
There's some of the biggest dildos I've ever seen.
5:10
[laughs] They're part of it.

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.

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.
5:59
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

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.
38:42
And so it would be like a whale covered in barnacles and then some guys will swim down and clean it off.
38:47
And I saw the first one and I thought, oh, that's so nice.
38:49
They're helping out this whale.
38:50
And the whale swims off without barnacles.
