02:33being in a class with people who are all on the spectrum it's been very freeing I've definitely
02:44been able to open up a lot there's no judgment it feels great yeah probably probably a 24-hour video
02:53where are we I thought Tiana was where James is yeah not you James future Prime Minister James
03:00hello everyone how are we all right our next guest is one of Australia's best-known comedians she works

03:20she hosts a show called I'm a celebrity get me out of here Julia Morris
03:26are you a big fan Thomas yes oh do you like that show or what do you like Julia Morris I'm really
03:38excited because I get to know some stuff that I really want to know about Julia Morris she's worked
03:43with a lot of celebrities like in celebrity apprentice and has also been the host of I'm
03:48celebrity get me out of here with Robert Irwin and Chris Brown which also involves a lot of
03:54celebrities James when she got started she was a singer Julia Morris from New South Wales holding
04:01out for a hero and she's act seven please make a welcome
04:04I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight
04:16I need a hero
04:18she appeared on the masked singer on season two as the kitten oh did she
04:27she's a woman with a lot of recognition and privilege and respect Julia is naughty she's clever she's quick
04:45she's edgy she is herself a hundred percent Julia Morris is Julia Morris
04:52Sam here she seems very vain vain yeah and I think it'll be interesting to try and work out in the
04:59interview how much is sarcasm and how much is reality and for sure Molly I think it was
05:05interesting how she was recently diagnosed with ADHD yeah I kind of like to know about
05:09like how it affected her being later on in life yep heaps of interesting ideas already once you've
05:15gone into your group so I'll come around and speak to each of you I feel a little nervous about this
05:20interview with Julia Morris because she's so high-energy many of the students are very high
05:25energy are they gonna fade off each other and whip it into a frenzy that I just cannot wrangle
05:29we have a comedian the thing about comedians in general and Julia in particular is she loves
05:36pushing boundaries hmm she seems very adaptable the ultimate master possibly yeah I actually had no
05:44idea that she had ADHD yeah she was diagnosed quite later heard in her adulthood she must have known
05:51something there was there all her life and she's positive and that's what I live by as well because no
05:58use focusing on the past because the past you can't fix oh here comes another train when I was young
06:08it was unheard of having an interest or a passion in trains as a girl I love trains because of the
06:15rhythm and the predictability of them beautiful one of you when I was a kid the teachers were saying
06:27that I should belong in a mental institution in a padded cell because I was too hard and difficult
06:33to deal with I never knew how to stand up for myself and I kept on thinking I was a failure at the
06:42age of 30 I got diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome the diagnosis changed a lot for me and made me feel a
06:50whole lot better about myself in 2007 I set up my own business to provide business products and self-help
06:59course books for employers and for the general community to raise awareness about autism I'm proving
07:08a lot of people wrong if I can run my own business and I'm autistic anyone can do it okay tell me what you've
07:18got you've been described as having a dry sense of humor what would a moist sense of humor look like
07:25I have no good idea what questions to ask already I've got sex Thomas hello hello so we're doing
07:34Julie Morris yep um hang on so what kind of like what's your favorite thing to do Thomas when you just
07:44have time to yourself I go to a weekly bongo lesson on Mondays and yes it's very very fun I also love to
07:56jump on trampoline because stuff he actually helps me with my creative thinking with normal people they're
08:03just like boring bland people this is my collection of DVDs whereas with autistic people they're special
08:15they're interesting and the best thing about it is whenever there's something I want to watch it's all
08:21just right there autism to me is like a video game you know normal people's lives are like level one easy
08:34whereas with autism people it's like level 90 this is a drawing that my friend Otto did and it has all my
08:47favorite celebrities on it Elton John Rowan Atkinson or mr. bean Amy Winehouse Freddie Mercury just to name a few that you might
09:01know I want to get to know the celebrities a bit more and ask them questions that no one's thought about
09:08asking them before and make people go wow that was amazing I've just thought of a few um when was the moment you
09:22realized that you were funny yeah okay good
09:25hi guys come on in hello this is beautiful matching matching look in the pink I have a bracelet for you that I made
09:41I love it well now you're matching with everyone because everyone has their own bracelets that I've made
09:45them we've all got one mine's just in my jacket pocket Julia are you good to go Lee I'm so ready
09:51Sam why don't you kick things off for us today this is a safe space everyone can relax and be
09:58themselves there will be no judgment please do what you need to do to join in for example fidget move
10:05take a break ask if you need anything to help you be included I love it thank you James you've got
10:13first question today hi Julia oh yeah good thank you how do you handle a tough or unreceptive audience I
10:20kill them no no that's um it really plays on my mind you know I've played audiences where there's
10:295,000 people in the audience and those two people who aren't smiling down the front are all I can focus
10:34on and you always walk away being disappointed that I hope I wasn't in trouble with them there'll be
10:39thousands of people who hate me they don't even know me that voice is a lot of the reason why
10:46people don't like me um but yes uh ignore it yeah just to do what you're doing yeah not everyone's gonna
10:53like it thank you Julia pleasure thanks James um Molly is next hi Julia how are you I'm good how
11:02um this looks beautiful here a little bit of a cheek highlight I love myself some glitter that's
11:07what I'm talking about if you were suddenly sucked into a fictional sci-fi or dystopian world with one
11:14other person who would you take and what story world would you want to be in oh my gosh okay I'm
11:19gonna take Ken my dog my black cavudel who tries to kiss me on the lips on occasion and I'm just saying
11:25I might lean in so I call him my lifestyle choice partner because he doesn't give me instruction he
11:32doesn't tell me what to do and sometimes he'll take the rubbish out a piece at a time so that's helpful
11:38it's good to have a man in the house but yes my dystopian fiction I think would be about Ken and I
11:42and our besties love story of note thanks all right Daniel oh hello Julia oh yeah very good you look
11:51very beautiful I've just gone for the pink today to warm up the old bird so I heard that you had a
12:02divorce and a lot of marriages are failing in the modern time oh god yeah as a single person myself
12:08is it worth getting married do you know what yes it is and let me tell you why because I was in love a
12:15lot of the way it is a beautiful experience and I was in love when I brought children into this world
12:21and then time just kind of passes and I don't know you get older and you really do become
12:28different in how you know raising children is its own punish like you will never know if you can do
12:34that and manage to stay married if two people are in it for the right reasons it's like nothing in
12:41this world it's it is literally like the other Lego pieces just come and clicked in and it can be joyous
12:47but I would rather be alone than be with somebody where their mind is elsewhere yeah that is very
12:58fair it's very fair and also with ADHD you keep forgetting right Dory swim to the end of the tank
13:03oh I forgot about that nasty thing you said yesterday so I think that's just me and Ken for now
13:12thank you I'm Pat you're up now all right there you go thank you so similarly to you I recently went
13:22through a breakup oh so drawing from your experience what can I do to move on from it and become a better
13:29version of myself God I reckon sit in it you know when we when we first have a breakup of any type
13:37whether it's a friendship or a relationship is that you want to let's go out it's going to holiday
13:42instead of actually sitting in it feeling that pain or that grieving or whatever that is that it's over
13:48or that it's you know that it wasn't what you thought it was and then I definitely took some proper
13:54time to go right what is my contribution in this once you can sit in that stillness for a little
14:01while then you're ready to blossom and I think every bit of it shows just because I took that time
14:08to reflect instead of being like oh the relationship was bad now I'm gonna get out meet people
14:14no you don't need to but I reckon I took a year
14:17hmm yeah I think you got a good point there um I think it's good to reflect when you have a a better
14:25state of mind to look at things objectively for sure that's all that way to self-improvement there we go
14:31well thank you for that I'm Karen's gonna have a gay now hi love hi Julia how are you amazing so I got
14:38diagnosed at the age of 30 with what was known back then as Asperger's syndrome huh 30 30 were you
14:45shocked I felt really good but really bad because I felt that um the things that I said was
14:52unintentional that I hurt other people's feelings without knowing what to say and how to correct
14:58the situation yeah and people back in those days the doctors were saying put them in mental
15:04institutions because go home and have a normal child because this child won't be able to do anything
15:11it'll be too stupid and everything and I was told I was going to be too stupid
15:14well I mean the insanity is that it will be one of our parents as well right so all of that keeping
15:20us in order and this is how you behave and this is what society does this is what women do I mean
15:25lots and lots of layers but in actual fact there's a great possibility that one of our parents will
15:31have had neurodivergent vibes but they will have been masking I think my father has it because he was very
15:37fascinated with trains yeah so when I got that diagnosis I felt like a new person how would your
15:44life have been different if you had your diagnosis earlier well there's lots of things I could say
15:49would I have been more successful I don't know might have been more successful in my relationships the
15:54one thing that I look back on and I think having an earlier diagnosis would have helped with is how
15:58much I've let my friends down over the years you make these great plans on the day honestly I did not
16:04know this about myself but like I really have to check how I'm going to be on the day so now when
16:10I make a plan with someone I'm like let's absolutely do it but there's every possibility I'll pull out
16:15so if I can do some pre-disappointment then that really helps because I don't like that feeling of
16:22letting people down I think the diagnosis kind of set me free I think life becomes slightly easier
16:28because then you start to build into your days the things that you need whether that's a little break
16:34or a lie down or whatever that is a lie down who's got the time now knowing I have such intense
16:42neurodiversity in my home in all part of your three my children have taught me how to listen
16:49oh that's good thanks um Laura do you want to have a go
16:52hi Julia hi how are you I'm okay I love to sing but very few people have ever heard me sing oh how
17:03did you find the confidence to sing in your first audition and how did your parents react to hearing
17:08you sing for the first time ah well I think at that time I thought I am an amazing singer I'm gonna take
17:14the day off school in year 12 and I'm gonna go and do an audition which was over in North Ryde in Sydney
17:22and then um a letter arrived at my home from Channel 9 and my parents opened it and they were like
17:27what's happening I then I had to be honest with my parents and say I took the day off school I don't
17:33think they were happy about that I auditioned for a television show and I got on to the show
17:39my parents were shocked they were gently trying to say have you like can you sing
17:46I was like I don't know but I'm gonna give it a go but I was singing there's something in the
17:50vibration of the singing in my head that makes me really happy too makes you feel good doesn't
17:55matter how it sounds and I bet it sounds beautiful anyway because you've got a gorgeous timbre
18:00thank you Julia this is Kai he's gonna ask a question from here yes candy kitten though as
18:09I might remember how did it feel for you actually being at the candy kitten in the mask singer everything
18:14was going fine I'd been training for months not singing but with a weight belt thing to make sure I
18:23could carry the costume first day I get in there I try on the costume they're like move around a bit
18:29just give it a shake I'm like yes did my back in so badly that I could barely move for the whole run
18:37and every time I put the outfit back on it re-triggered the lower back so Pussycat has
18:43both loving moments and horrifying moments in my memory thank you Kai
18:49Soph's got the next question Soph your hair looks beautiful oh I know here you go do you want Mike
18:55you relocated your family to Los Angeles for two years to pursue an acting course what were the
19:07considerations that factored your decision to study acting there were your family supportive of it so
19:14I had done a big comedy thing in Montreal in Canada and they said you need to move to the states
19:20we are waiting for you so I was just like this just makes complete sense I'm going to start my career
19:26again upped my one-year-old three-year-old and now ex off to Los Angeles for two years and then realized
19:35I wasn't earning any money there so I had to get on a plane every five weeks fly home to Australia
19:42do a week of gigs get back on the plane and go over oh and there's this sense in Los Angeles that
19:49something really exciting is about to happen any second in Los Angeles it's a very big thing to go
19:56and do lots of acting classes and I like that I like that about keeping up the practice to work on
20:02your acting but it is something looking back that I could have done here I either didn't have the guts
20:09to do an acting course here to show everybody oh I might not know everything so Los Angeles was
20:16amazing but looking back I don't think I would have shaken everybody around as much and expected
20:22them to settle in as quickly as I did I think looking back thanks very much and I love your whole sound
20:31system hashtag voiceover and then just create that all yourself and then up it comes and then it's you
20:37are you ready for an acting job right now you're all set hi julia uh you started on tv at 17 how do
20:45you think the entertainment industry has changed since then particularly for women oh my god you would
20:50die at some of the things that were said to me over the years I had a haircut once on one of the networks
20:56where they said to me you look like a lesbian and it's not the sort of image the network are projecting
21:01wow that's crazy I was like is everybody on drugs like what's happened so uh yeah I don't even know
21:08if I answered your question did I got so excited went off on a tangent looked everywhere around the
21:12room and then came back I think he sort of did um I live with my mum and sister so we are a house of
21:18girls what's it like living in a house of girls for you we love it we all have great observations
21:25between the three of us I think my general smart assery has raised the girls to be like
21:32uh no I don't think so I don't think we're doing that I was just saying to my girls recently our home
21:37is the only place where we're our real real selves and even then you mask a little bit at home just to
21:45facilitate easy lives but that's where you're going to get the most honest living with girls for me can
21:52be pretty good too yeah it's fabulous isn't it and also I like pajama nights and just us girls and
22:00not too sure about pajama nights I think we just wear pajamas because we do when I say pajama nights
22:06we all know it's all day saturday and sunday oh wow okay thank you tiana okay willow here you go
22:13um her dress is so beautiful I love that color um I have no fear because of my autism sometimes
22:20it's funny but sometimes people think I'm being rude have you ever thought you were being funny
22:26but other people find it rude definitely I've definitely had that situation I have the situation
22:33a lot where I'm in the middle of a conversation and I just think this person thinks I'm super weird
22:38I need to sidestep out of whatever it is I'm doing at that moment so I'm always on a constant narration
22:46of I guess my mask presenting right where you're like I think I need to smile at this point because
22:52I've been grown up so yeah I think there's things going on in my head at the same time as my face trying
23:01to make a moment comfortable but thank you thanks willie okay thomas's turn now it's very nice to
23:08meet you julia lovely to see you so you're on the first season of celebrity apprentice along with
23:15pauline hansen lisa curry who's um an olympic swing who was an olympic swimmer i hope she's not an olympic
23:21swinger no judgment no judgment but who could be bothered who could be bothered no no she is an olympic
23:29swimmer you're absolutely right and like commonwealth games gold medalist incredible advocate hang on
23:34i'm not sorry and denny hines who's a singer and i was wondering what was it like to work with them
23:41and do you have any funny stories about them okay i've got one story where i got into quite big trouble
23:49you know we have these pre-formed ideas about what people are like right so i have a pre-formed idea
23:54about what pauline hansen must be like purely from what i've been exposed to in the media the things
23:59she says don't seem very aligned with me so i was kind of like this is going to be interesting am i
24:04going to like her am i going to hate her i don't know but i'm going to give her a chance at least
24:08anyway we get into this boardroom meeting where everyone's trying to all sound intelligent and
24:13together and like they're leading the way and then pauline had said absolutely no judgment because i
24:20get things wrong a lot and she said um i think if we can get the marketing right
24:28i think it will really resonate with people
24:33i'm trying not to laugh or or comment or do whatever i might well
24:38fine so i look down at lisa curry she's like this don't don't look at me then i get outside and uh
24:45they're like how did that go in there and i said do you know what i think pauline's absolutely right
24:51i think if we do get this marketing right it will absolutely resonate with people
24:57and then the network made a promo out of it so while we're still working together
25:05there's a promo of me singing a song going it'll really resonate with people and her going
25:10resonate resonate and me is going please explain she was so cross oh she was so cross because i
25:19think she just thought i was like nastily taking the piss which i was but i was just like resonate's
25:25hilarious then i said to lisa curry afterwards hey i looked down the table at you for resonate she
25:30said julia i couldn't look at you i was gonna wee
25:32i was really worried this time if i looked at you i knew i was gonna laugh and if i laughed i was
25:38gonna wee and i can't be weighing in that boardroom while we're trying to prove that we have got some
25:42ideas to carry this through so um but shooting reality shows is super stressful and it's always
25:49handy if they don't put the promo on while you're still shooting the show
25:52i know thank you thomas thank you okay sam hi julia i love um um you've hosted i'm a celebrity get
26:03me out of here with robert erwin and chris brown which animal expert do you prefer to host with you
26:08oh you can't make me choose between dr chris and robert oh right dr chris dreamboat robert not
26:19allowed to say because my children's age but dreamboat dreamboat right but same age as my children
26:26so i don't you're like but both are perfect co-hosts in completely different ways robert i've known for
26:35such a long time and like all of you guys undoubtedly watched him grow in front of us into this extraordinarily
26:44accomplished young man and then dr chris already a perfect human so it's impossible to choose between
26:51the two but i think i have a lot more brotherly fun with robert like we laugh hard all day we have a
26:59great time thank you sam do you want to give your mic to beck thank you firstly julia we're taking more
27:06of a serious time with these questions so my father passed away a year before yours i'm sorry to hear
27:13that so i guess we're part of the dead dad's club yes one thing that has surprised me here it happens
27:21again i'm the group's crier oh my god am i coming i'm in coming too don't worry i know grieving is
27:29different for everyone but for you what has been helpful with your grieving and i suppose how has it
27:35affected you i think i'm still doing it my dad died a year and a half ago i think and it was a lengthy
27:45year and a half of being incredibly unwell from very well very unwell and i think we had the last
27:52right seven times i'm not even kidding so i think the pre-grieving is pretty intense i think the post grieving
27:59plus here's my guy my dad yep i think the one ballast wave stays there and then other waves come
28:09because i can be eating a musk stick and then all of a sudden just go oh my god i miss him i wish i
28:14could call him and do that stuff so yeah it's a weird transition in life isn't it because especially if
28:20your dad is um number one one of your gurus yep and i 100 agree with that um thank you for being so
28:28honest with these questions and thank you for allowing me to tone it down a bit oh my god you
28:33were absolutely divine thank you beck will you pass the mic to finn thank you hey julia how are you um
28:40i'm what i describe as voluntarily celibate so i embrace the single life as well yeah nice because i
28:46believe the concept of a relationship is both inevitably constraining and emulates prison so um
28:53what do you think about the stigma of being single and the absurd nuclear family paradigm that pervades
28:58society do you think it could dissipate i think it could absolutely dissipate i think these days the
29:04nuclear family is becoming more of the rarity i think we're definitely moving into a phase where we're
29:10no longer just talking about our different families but we're nearly allowed to have them i think that's
29:16exciting in terms of being single any sort of loneliness i kind of feel like my social battery's
29:23taken up with my friends and my family so i there's not often i feel lonely i don't want to listen to
29:31someone breathing next to me in the bed so i'm also very happy that i don't have that and then um
29:37um i think the social construct of oh poor you you're single oh anyone who's never had fun as a
29:47single person won't get it so there's no convincing them oh sure great questions guys okay hello hello
29:57julia what do you think is the best and worst of humanity in general oh my god what an amazing question
30:03yes i think the best of humanity is our ability to press the reset button and start again each day
30:13oh yes and i think the worst of humanity is just starts with mean mean is the number one calling card
30:20i think and from mean everything else bleeds out so i'm not interested in mean yes and a silly question
30:28what would you do if you were made empress of the universe of unlimited power oh firstly i would go
30:33mad empress yes i mean i'd get a fabulous gold outfit really don't you reckon it had a lot of gold
30:40um what would i do first of all give everyone a day off then i give everybody five hundred dollars
30:46maybe not rich people no judgment good luck anyway oh my god i have a sleep in
30:51i'd love a sleep in very mundane things yeah yeah that's a lot of questions thank you james
30:58thank you okay timmy okay hi my name is timmy hi my favorite item of clothing are these pens with
31:08many faces on them what's your first item of clothing look i have been doing a lot of school drop-offs
31:16in my jammies oh but i am quite clever at making my jammies look like clothes really and i have got
31:24to the point where i have actually been to the school drop off in my full dressing gown oh okay
31:29after the logies last year i was just i just stopped caring i'll be like yeah shouldn't do that to the
31:36school obviously it's not good but um yeah jammies personal favorite and i think it's comfort
31:42is it comfort for you okay thank you um xanthia your go you've worked with dozens of well-known
31:50and significant australian performers and yet in every uh bio and about me i could find online you
31:55list three american comedians as the top comedians you've performed with being whoopi goldberg richard
32:00prior and robin williams why the focus on american performers rather than the australian performers such
32:05a good question i reckon i wrote that in about 1989 haven't changed it since so note to self must get
32:11onto that we'll never remember unless i send 17 notes um i think certainly in comedy world robin
32:19williams would be somebody that we would all aspire to globally someone who despite his neurodivergence
32:26clearly just literally rose to the very top um whoopi goldberg i think has been just such a
32:32trailblazer for female comedians and i was a tremendous honor to stand alongside her
32:39uh so that's why she would be mentioned and then um richard prior yeah like just no one ever
32:46performed with richard prior in this country that was just unheard of but in terms of the comedians
32:52that i would have looked up to here dame edna average was my i mean absolute guru but i was among the first
33:01first first is not right but i was among the very early female stand-ups in current stand-up form and
33:08how we do it in the stand-up clubs so in terms of aussie comics i've been around longer awkward i think
33:15that's why i think that they were three absolute global calling cards that not a lot of people could
33:21say thank you for your answers hi i'm shay hi shay um what was your your experience like when
33:31sharing the stage with robin williams oh my gosh do you know i had been at a stand-up gig it was for
33:39a movie premiere of his and i had said i don't know i'd said like bum or some silly word like flap or
33:47something and the movie people got super angry with me and i got to meet robin williams and speak to him
33:54about and i said oh mate i'm in trouble i've already said flap and bum um and he's like well what's wrong
34:00with that and they were trying to get him to do some stand-up on the night and i knew that he didn't
34:05want to and i said look i'm just giving you a warning i think this entire night is designed
34:09around getting you to the stage to do some stand-up anyway he goes i can't believe you're in trouble
34:14for saying bum or flapple whatever i'm gonna get on the stage and help out and then got on the stage
34:20and i reckon did 40 minutes of the bluest rudest material
34:26he was getting out every single one of the actual bad words that has a letter to describe it
34:32and saved me so when i think about robin williams i just think wow what an absolutely epic gentleman
34:39he didn't want to do stand-up that particular evening and he got up to show that ladies can also
34:45be a little bit rude every now and then yeah but a great experience yeah well thanks that was an
34:53interesting answer thank you thank you shay um katie hello my name is katie hi katie
35:03it's a taboo subject miscarriage no one talks about it despite it being a common awful thing
35:10did you fear you would lose your girls during your healthy pregnancy with them and how did you deal with
35:14that i definitely definitely thought that and i had had a couple of miscarriages before that
35:22and uh when i fell pregnant with ruby my eldest i wasn't convinced that pregnancy would go through to
35:28the end but that grieving over that time is really unusual you started to prepare your life for bringing
35:35a child into the home to then have it not end as you wanted it as you started to make your plans
35:42and buy things and then go through that grief and be worried through the next pregnancies because you
35:48already know how that feels the last one felt fine i think it's such a weird personal time i find when
35:54stuff is that intense with sadness i tend to deal with that very quietly i don't actually really share with
36:01people at the time because people like why do you why didn't you call me why didn't you reach out and
36:07you're like oh no good as long as it's about you i reckon yeah this time in my life is one i'm owed
36:13you're allowed to make it about you but one in four pregnancies ending in a miscarriage it is a much
36:22more common thing than the fresh air that we give it i think i think you're a great mum thank you
36:30your girls should be very proud of you they definitely are they definitely are right how
36:35did i get to that point i'm absolutely thrilled that we got to that point um when i was a little
36:42girl and had undiagnosed autism i had no one who looked like me i was often told i am too much you are
36:51so confident and larger than life and i really admire that can you tell me how you demand respect
36:58and to be seen i think you stop believing others over believing yourself because actually deep deep
37:07deep down if you really properly have a think about yourselves you'd be like uh i am pretty awesome
37:15do you know what i mean like can you name me another person who would be able to handle this
37:21flavor your flavor of autism your flavor of adhd your flavor of the way you've been brought up
37:27what school did what friends did what the environment's done to you who would be strong
37:31enough to be able to handle that not a lot of people i can tell you right now and you were
37:35so you are already actually that person so that sort of confidence i think also comes with age i think
37:42the confidence would have been faked maybe through my 20s just to go i think i'm unreal everybody else
37:47come on board not everybody did but then as you age and you get more comfortable with yourself where
37:53you're like actually uh who else would be able to handle what i'm handling you're already doing
38:00beautifully i still think i'm yeah i still think i'm hot and i have a pretty brain right by the way
38:08i can deadlift over 90 kilograms oh yeah queen thank you for being so candid and we all love you
