Episode description

Brooke and Matty are taking on different personas today when they take on each other in some drama inspired improv games! 

Think peak drama class when you're in high school. 

Matty turns into a Karen at a restaurant and a very rude man wanting a flight upgrade, plus we play the question game and one word scenes. 

Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respect to Elders past and present.

Yeah, the last one.

Speaker 2

That's funny.

Speaker 1

That is funny.

Speaker 4

That's it.

Speaker 3

You have to act out a scene only using questions as the dialogue.

Speaker 4

So the scene is, let's do it.

Speaker 3

You're at a family event and a long lost family member turns up.

Speaker 2

Why are they here?

Speaker 1

Didn't know they were coming? Did you.

Speaker 2

Thought they were in Canarvon?

Speaker 1

Did y'all?

Speaker 2

Yeah? I thought they were driving back tomorrow.

Speaker 1

But why they hear it with a horse?

Speaker 4

And why a fucking horse?

Speaker 1

And the horse is really big. It looks like it came from Jamaica.

Speaker 4

Why the horse come from Jamaica?

Speaker 1

I don't know. It just looks like a Jamaican horse.

Speaker 2

What's a Jamaican horse?

Speaker 1

Jamaica? Crazy? Is it you crazy?

Speaker 2

Why are you joking at a time like this?

Speaker 1

Well? Was it your uncle? Her daughter? Mine?

Speaker 2

Wait? I thought it was a family event, not a funeral.

Speaker 1

But if you're black, family events.

Speaker 4

Why is that so true?

Speaker 1

Though I don't know it's existence.

Speaker 4

Why are we black?

Speaker 1

While we're black? That's the question.

Speaker 6

While we're black, it's like Shakespeare, to be or not to be?

Speaker 4

Is the question?

Speaker 1

Now? Wants my skin black? Oh? My god? That was what I love. I love love if.

Speaker 3

We if we ran acting classes for kids, we would have the best fun.

Speaker 1

You know what we do. We're like, okay, we're going to acting classes. This was what I do. I say, okay, I'm going to give you an example. And then they'd get up there and be shipped. I want to do it. You would be no, get down, We'll show you again.

Speaker 4

Oh my god.

Speaker 3

Oh, actually funny enough. You know that natok video we made. I had to talk about that at a meta event. Oh yeah, And I was like, if you if you're queer, like it's pretty much based off the thing of like move I'm gay video, yes, and the trolls and stuff that I was like, they screenshot and put it up. I was like, yeah, but these people clearly don't know what it's like to have culture or be queer, like.

Speaker 1

Totally all right, that's fun. Back, I want to go back to acting school. Well, if you ever need a scene partner and put my hand up.

Speaker 4

Yeah, well, well I reckon, we'll work together.

Speaker 1

Yeah, we should write something.

Speaker 3

And well, I'm going to finish this musical theater player, but it's going to be like my yearly project, you know, like I tick away at it, but I'll finished and by the end of this year, like I have to. I love this because I just finished my play writing course and I just did and I feel much more confident about writing about it now.

Speaker 1

I feel like I'm so underachieving when you come on here and talk about what you're doing.

Speaker 3

My psychologist said the fucking same thing, and I was like, she's doing all.

Speaker 1

These causes, she's doing, you know, these assessments, she's looking after kids, she's still keep a relationship afloat over here sort of.

Speaker 4

I got no relationship.

Speaker 1

I'm by myself, but like I'm just like, okay, well, even so, the idea of doing a course to me, it's like, now I don't have enough time. I have plenty of time.

Speaker 3

Well, I did stunt training yesterday and then did an overnight.

Speaker 4

Shift, and this woman, that's what I mean.

Speaker 2

I don't have time.

Speaker 3

I don't have a weekend though, Like that's the thing. I work my weekends, which is fine, working away, taking away, but.

Speaker 4

Yeah, no.

Speaker 3

My psychologist said the thing, you know what I said, like, he reckons I'm I told you this. He's you're definitely neurodivergent. Neurodivergent, and he reckons that I'm also on the autistic scale the way that I describe things and the way that I see things.

Speaker 4

He's like, you're whole hardly like on both of those.

Speaker 3

And I was like, okay, which is fine, I'm okay with it.

Speaker 4

It doesn't make me any different. Actually it's more special.

Speaker 1

It does.

Speaker 3

But it makes so much sense. You musk so many yeah you must so many things.

Speaker 2

No, it does a You're like.

Speaker 1

I don't know what it's like to be, you know, like to have that assessment done.

Speaker 4

And yeah, well not did.

Speaker 2

I I thought I was pretty sane, but clearly I'm not.
