In particular, we've had beautiful, lovely discussions with non-indigenous friends and lovers that have talked about either finding the show through us or enjoying to extend that conversation more than ever. It is so important to kick Mike White up the ass and fully live our indigenous joy.

30:44KT: Thank you so much, friends and lovers, we'll be loving. We will be splooshing. We will be snagging all your motherfucking asses. Thank you so much. Congratulations to me

30:58Oti: Nice

31:00KT: Let's check out the red carpet. So, um, I'm seeing people that not necessarily have guested on our podcast cuz we've been so busy, but we've guested it in some sort of capacity in some sort of timeline, Oti.

31:13Oti: Mm,

31:14KT: You might have remembered many, many beautiful loving years. Um, Lia from, We Are the Watchers I gave her the title of Honorary Splooshies attendee. She will always have a seat at the Splooshies awards because we fucking love her so

31:31Oti: We sure do.

31:32KT: Let's see what Lia is up to.

31:35Guests: 2022, what a year for For Your Reference podcast. If I tried to list all of the interesting and famous people that they interviewed, the. Year I would run out of time. Their podcast has been going from strength to strength and my goodness, it's been a massive year for them. But the one thing that has kind of stood out for me, and I don't even know why, is the amazing yellow wall that they have painted for their interviews often say, yellow is the color of joy and happiness.

32:05Guests: And I agree with it, and I think that they have got the perfect hue. That's the word, right? Hue. So whilst I wanna tip my hat to KT and Oti, I also want to pay homage to the yellow wall. And if I could sum up the yellow wall in one sound effect, it would be this. Here's to an amazing 2023, and I can't wait to find out who you guys are interviewing next.

32:30KT: Oh, do you see why, Lia, could you be any more honorary?

32:36Oti: Mm-hmm. Wow. Oh,

32:39KT: thank you. Thank you, thank you. We can accept compliments when we're, when it's done in such creative ways.

32:45Oti: Yeah. It, it has been a weird year and

32:49KT: weird.

32:50Oti: It has been a weird year.

32:52KT: surreal.

32:53Oti: Weird. Weird is a word that's also applicable here.

32:57KT: Expand your vocabulary, motherfucker.

33:00Oti: No, I don't need to. It has been a weird year. If you had asked me explain 2022. podcast wise, Uhhuh, , it would never be anything close to this. Yes. So in the, in as much as you wanna be, say it's surreal. It was fucking weird because it got us with a left hook out of fucking nowhere.

33:22KT: Yeah, absolutely. I do love how our yellow wall gets a lot of love and gets a lot of attention as much, maybe more than even Theo. Um, but it definitely brings a, a nice smile, um, you know, on our faces. Just like Lia brings a nice smile on our faces. I'm feeling another award, Oti.

33:43Oti: Oh,

33:44KT: Lia, we are awarding you with the Greg Kinnear Award because Greg Kinnear is just an effervescent, beautiful ray of

33:56Oti: Yeah.

33:56KT: just like you. Thank you so much and we'll see you. In another format, but definitely at the next Splooshies

34:03Oti: Yeah. And Greg Kinnear carries Shining Vale.

34:07KT: Oh yes, absolutely. I'm looking forward to Shining Vale and from, they came out at, around the same Okay. Um, let's continue on. We have Oti, a debut,

34:18Oti: Ooh. Dubu.

34:19KT: a first time on the Splooshies red carpet. When you say Splooshies red carpet. It feels like a man moon. does. It feels like we're going through

34:28Oti: is it a bad thing?

34:29KT: No, it's okay. You just, you just Frenchie

34:31Oti: You would love to be part of that.

34:33KT: You just dig in and get deep into it.

34:36Oti: Mm-hmm.

34:37KT: The squirrel's gotta get its nut. It's fine. Speaking of such beautiful places like the Bean flicking couch, we see what is that yonder? It's a future collaboration with Dustin from Sandman Stories Presents. You're gonna love this by the way.

34:54Guests: Hello, KT and Oti, my one-stop guide to all the media that's worth watching. This is Dustin from the Sandman Stories Presents podcast where I dust off old folk tales and try and put people to sleep. I also often fall asleep listening to podcasts, but the For Your Ref pod has been cut from the late night playlist because I end up laughing along and enjoying the show so much that it is back to the bean flicking couch. And now to be talking to the award nominated Jordan Peele, interviewing black and indigenous story amplifying team. I'm a little starstruck, so I will do what I do best, which is to nerd out. One thing that I only came across in the past five or so years of my life was that movies and cinema were pretty much the same thing.

35:31Guests: I don't just mean their meanings, but the actual words themselves. Cinematography is just the Latinized Kma Greek for movement, like kinetic energy plus photography for light writing and movie is just the shortening of moving pictures. So they're both about moving photos. It's really cool. And with that, the crowd may have just gone to sleep, but I wanted to say a huge thank you for giving me insight not only into movies and shows that I might never have seen, but also into Tongan and Kenyan So to my friends who said, I would never record with two of the best in the business, I say, what's this then?

36:12KT: I told you you would love it.

36:14Oti: dear. Perfect ending. Bloody hell.

36:18KT: I told you you would love it. Um, and, and I guess this becomes the naia, um, you know, I've got a better award, Dustin, so don't worry. But this becomes the NAIA of, um, you know, friends and lovers that mean a lot to me because I handle a lot of the socials, but it doesn't necessarily, um, permeate or penetrate, um, you know, Oti's.

36:41KT: Oh yeah, yeah, right. He's not on social media. That means he's lurking, so he's doing much worse, um, sort of activities. And Dustin really, um, you know, at another time, friends and lovers, that whole, um, you know, me being a Swahili woman and stuff like that was a me and Dustin thing, and he's absolutely going to understand exactly what I'm talking about. but like even finding out that a coworker of his introduced Black Comedy to him mm-hmm. and he understood what's this then slut.

37:14KT: Um, and you even heard from his clip, like he, he listens a lot. He understands us a lot even though you've never necessarily, um, you know, had interchanges with him. Um, but. Dustin, we fucking love ya. Thank you so much for gracing us and taking the time. Um, you know, in, in every sort of instance, you know, it gets really cheesy, it gets very splooshy. It, it gets very bean flicky, um, if you're nasty, but it really does mean a lot to be able to, um, you know, share this whole podcasting experience.

37:48KT: Even though Dustin does give me like, anxiety because he's not necessarily a TV or film person, so he just like listens to shit without even like any regard of spoilers and that sort of thing. But the most important right now is to give an award to Dustin. it can be mother. What's this then? Slut award.

38:12Oti: What's this Then slot

38:13KT: Cheers. O . Congratulations Dustin. Thank you so much and make sure you are subscribed and you check out. We're going to talk about folklores, um, from Tongan and Kenyan culture. So it's going to be very, very interesting.

38:29Oti: It sure is.

38:30KT: um, speaking of a, a room of ancient law, we are getting into the next award, Oti. Mm-hmm. This is Reverse Primae Noctis. Um, in regards to this specifically, as the name suggests, we are talking about a TV or film that is so good. We wish we could experience it for the first time because as we know, nothing's going to hit as good as the first time.

38:58Oti: Mm-hmm.

38:59Guests: And if you haven't listened to Spartacus, we will not like the king. deflower you, Reverse Primae Noctis in spoilers if you have not watch Spartacus. Uh, we have Game of Thrones, which is, you know, it'll break you in . It will get you ready for the penetration of the show. That is Spartacus. I was simp so I couldn't even make fun of Max Cherry because I was Max KT Cherry She was popping my Max. KT Cherry. Tell me about your Crumpled magazine covers Oti,

39:33Guests: Say you had a starched bedsheet without saying you had a starch bed.

39:42Oti: Wow.

39:42KT: Wow. What an exciting time. If you didn't realize when nasty and was so splooshy. Well, there you go, friends and lovers, that's a surprise to you,

39:50Oti: man. That's a clip from back then,

39:53KT: but that's exactly

39:54Oti: it.

39:55KT: you know, the, the equipment might not be where we are today, but the splooshes were absolutely mandatory even in our first year of the podcast. Are you ready to hear the nominees, Oti?

40:46Oti: Wow.

40:47KT: And the award goes to the spoiled little run that no one cared about, but they love now, Oti.

40:56Oti: Woo. You know, as a show, loved by many enclosed socks apparently doesn't get to see the love you know that much with the wider audiences.

41:10KT: Yeah.

41:11Oti: Fuck them under. Click the claim. Wow. Because whoa, Power and Ghost go from strength to strength. And if I would go back having, knowing exactly how far you know, they've expanded the bloody universe, it's a treat for your eyes. It's a treat for your sentences, and you just get to have fun. And sometimes we forget that that's a thing to,

41:35KT: Can they have fun if you're telling them to fuck off?

41:37Oti: Yeah. They chose the wrong cliques, so why should I care about them?

41:41KT: I thought we were getting Method Man energy, not Inspectah Deck. Well, congratulations on your award, Oti. Um, let's move on. Uh, let's go onto the red carpet. We've got some more or we've got one more. Last, but not least, friends and lovers. I see Leigh and Tim out in real life friends. on the red carpet, Oti.

42:31Guests: Oh, one of my favorite interviews that they've done this year was when they interviewed Jordan Peele for his film. Yes. Nope, what a great conversation. And this year we've loved becoming quite good friends with KT and Oti and running into them at screenings and sometimes, dare I say, filling them in on the first five minutes of films that they're late too.

48:05KT: Mm-hmm.

48:06Oti: What can Issa bring to the table? Yes. That will top what Jay Ellis. I just said that to, to get at you, but wow. Rap Sh!t is something different. Mm-hmm. , it's something that you didn't even realize that you expected or wanted to watch. Yep. You know, uh, it speaks to an industry that we are well versed in as people, as kids from the nineties and bloody hell they deliver in every aspect and for like, it's the best thing on tv.

48:39KT: Does this, does hip hop belong to this Kenyan boy?

48:42Oti: It does It does. It does. And, and if he did listen to open source hiphop, you do know that it, it's actually the history of it, uh, it is quite rooted. My sense of being,

Friends and lovers allow yourself to be move. Surprised and shaped by what is available in the tapestry of cinema. I guarantee the absurdities of themes that speak to universal and local experiences will pierce the heart chambers of the most coldest of gangsters on the street. such

57:35Oti: Wonka,

57:37KT: I'm a Rotten Tomatoes winker. If you're nasty. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. And may I plug, I don't know if I'll plug our Miike run, but I will plug, Visitor Q.

If you can find it, if you can get your nasty fingers on it, um, recommend that you should watch it, but also listen to our episode.

58:12Oti: Yeah. The single bo Shocking thing I've ever watched Guarantee It is

58:17KT: Na Wild. Guaranteed. Nasty. Absolutely insightful. thank you. Thank you, thank you. How exciting. Well, I think just keeping that octane going, Oti, the next compilation we have is the fact that we've introduced interviews.

58:38KT: Into our podcast. Um, you know, uh, because so much goes into the work of organizing, whether it's a PR thing, whether it's like rehearsing or getting stuff ready, um, it can take months before things come into a fruition. Um, so, you know, since like May, June of last year, we were really, you know, we were like, this is our busiest time and things just kept getting busy, um, booked and busy friends and lovers.

59:06KT: Like we, we, we've been, um, we've been really lucky, um, to get into opportunities and, um, if I can take like a little baby moment to be so fucking winky, um, it goes beyond cinema to me. Um, there are moments where, you know, we will, we will attend particular sort of screening. And it might have to do with, I would call it black cinema, but Idris Oti, but might just call it cinema.

Firstly and foremost, um, people are covering these films and, and even though we are a couple of steps removed, being in Australia, so-called Australia, um, it's important that we cover it as well.

60:04KT: You didn't think I would get fucking insightful, did your friends and lovers? Um, but this, this goes back to the interviews. Um, I, I am proud of, you know, the interviews that we have on the podcast and also the opportunities, um, that we've been given as well to interview who we've interviewed so far.

I came on and helped us prepare. It's good, you know, well after that, you know, going into different events and getting to interview all sort of different people, even from books. you know? Yes.

63:03Oti: Boyah, you know, first time author and it's, it's All Love man.

63:09KT: A beautiful memoir.

63:10Oti: It is, it is. It really is.

63:14KT: Um, yeah, it, it's . It's funny because like, we're in the indie space, so, you know, anything beyond self-deprecation feels very winy. Um, so even the idea of putting together this little sort of compilation felt very winy. But at the same time, it's also good to, you know, be proud of, um, where we've come. And at the same time, you know, um, we've received a lot of love from our friends and lovers around the world. Mostly, um, fellow podcasters.

63:46KT: And I always send the love right back because it always is like a, a family community effort to me. you know? Um, and I think that's the same thing, like you celebrate the wins of other people and it, it, it comes back the same way.

64:01Oti: It sure does.

64:02KT: Oh, how nice. How lovely. How lovely. Oti

64:09Oti: too. Lovely.

64:10KT: Lovely enough to sploosh your mountains on. friends and lovers, thank you so much for joining us in this beautiful awards ceremony. Um, I don't know if we'll ever get to a point where this will be in real life, but we do enjoy having this awards, um, show every year. Guaranteed. It's not gonna be hashtag so white. Absolutely.

64:34Oti: Oh, I didn't know about that.

64:37KT: Really. I think beyond Peacemaker, we haven't

64:40Oti: a Oh, I, I thought I was talking more about the hosts. Wow.

64:49KT: Have you been deep faking us this whole time?

64:53Oti: Yeah.

64:54KT: um, let's get into the most prestigious award of the night, friends and lovers. And this is Sploosh Mountain. We love splooshing all around the town. Um, a little bit of story time. We did meet our best friend, Aisha Tyler.

65:10KT: many moons ago at the Sydney, um, Oz Comic-Con. And, you know, um, you stand in the line, you pay some money, it's a transactional sort of experience. However, there was an opportunity to get Aisha Tyler to sign something. And we did buy some artwork, um, of Lana Kane, um, from Archer. And it was funny because, you know, because I'm so, I'm such a prude.

65:33KT: Um, I was embarrassed to say that I wanted her to sign Sploosh Mountain, um, on that particular artwork. And as soon as we said it, I guess the sort of coordinator handler was like, yeah, that's fine. We get much.

65:47Oti: Mm-hmm.

65:48KT: protect Aisha Tyler at all cost, friends and lovers. Um, but let's get into Sploosh Mountain full context. This is informed from our Christmas ratings episode that has an average of 10 out of 10.

66:04Oti: Hmm.

66:04Guests: And the podcast there, I say, well, you're not ready for a hopper in your whole friends and lovers, welcome, welcome. It is the qu. It is what we do. Around her before we sploosh and, uh, need a post-coital cigarette and a nap. Pour your finger out and stick your toe in Oti and have a good time. You were earning all of my splooshes and I will be at your altar monkey.

66:26Guests: See, monkey do monkey splooshy all over you. Wow. And that was what made the trailer so amazing because you see the fight and you see the blood swords. I was looking for sploosh swords, but unfortunately I had to sploosh myself because that is what I'll be riding on my sploosh. Very confusing. Paul Beany Alta, right? Yeah, he's a tool guy. Like, like sucking the rings off. Oh, they call him Sonic Tarantino. What are you talking about? . Wow. Don't, don't ask him where he puts his knuckles.

67:04KT: Oh man. We ranked the films within our Degustations, but we haven't ranked our Degustations. But I must say as time goes on, the Tarantino Degustation is aging like a fine

67:16Oti: wine. It really is. Looking back at it, a lot of the movies that I watched, either Air rekindled my love for them. Or just discovered things that I said I'll never watch. And they were really bloody brilliant.

67:30KT: Well, here's the thing, like Barry and Jackie Brown, not everything was a 10 outta 10, but it was the watching experience. yeah.

67:37Oti: E Even things that I struggled with in in like in Inglourious Basterds. I tried watching that on my own for years

67:45KT: because you're a dumb baby that doesn't understand film

67:47Oti: and I couldn't go past the fast, you know, five minute mark. But you know what,

Fuck you,

70:55Oti: darling. It was a very authentic moment. When I wore that fat suit I had compensated something that no one else could

71:05KT: when I was the hot boy of Hollywood. But now I'm fat and I wanna be more fat so people will let me fuck off.

71:11Oti: one else can feel how I feel in that moment. The fat people can stay fat forever, But it's only when you are able to take it off. Do you truly know the pain,

71:25KT: fuck, race and sexuality. Wearing a fat suit is what makes me the pinnacle of acting. Fuck off.

71:31Oti: you the pain that I wish I had to go through. I cannot, I cannot state this enough.

71:47KT: Can I be El Butler now? You know, I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. I was a child actor and then I was deciding what I wanted to do. Did I want to change lives through curing cancer or did I want to change lives through acting as fucking Elvis? The prophets of black culture,

72:09Oti: Actually, I can't even remember how I sound lucky anymore after doing Elvis I just thought, oh man, I sound cool. Now I can go back to what I always used to sound like,

72:21KT: oh man,

72:22Oti: I get to play a thief but now I can encapsulate this voice.

72:28KT: was he the peanut burglar?

72:30Oti: Peanut burglar?

72:32KT: The peanut, um, Austin Butler deserves the peanut burglar award. Do you think you're going to have like a Michael B. Jordan scenario, like the corny kid where Austin Butler, if we ever interview him, he'll remember this moment that we called him the peanut burglar.

72:47Oti: Remember it all you want? I'll be like, yeah. I said that.

72:55KT: friends and lovers choose your award show fighter because every award show is going to need to apologize for things we're not gonna fucking apologize for shit.

73:05Oti: Nah, we don't do that.

73:07KT: Leave your fat suits at home and let's love on each other. I say,

73:11Oti: Yeah. I just wanna say, shout out to anyone who's wearing fat suits out there. I know it's tough, but remember, at five o'clock. You can take it and leave your life. It'll be hard, but you'll get there.

73:26KT: You know who I wanna give a shout out to?

73:27Oti: Mm-hmm.

73:28KT: To people that wanna talk about fat liberation and actually quote Fat feminists and fat activists. That's who I wanna shout out. Jameela Jamil. Cool. I guess we're coming for all celebrities, but if you are talking about how important fat bodies are and you are quoting Jameela Jamil, fucking fuck off.
