Please repeat your your last name.

Georgie Trevena as well. Yes.
And uh, she's not British. Just
I'm not.
A strange actress who just done a movie with parasites. Yes. So me and Georgie keeps scratching. I'm here with Kether Donohue. How are you?
Hello. I'm good. How are you?
I'm good. Just establishing how great your name is.
Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it's funny because my brother's name is just John. Which is very common. Talk about getting the short straw. Yeah. So my mom, she was, she wanted Kether because she's a very yoga hippie spiritual woman. And what does it mean again? It means Crown Angel.
Kether means the Crown Angel.
The Crown Angel. But she was born on Halloween. The last Halloween too. So yeah. The Crown Angel that was born on Halloween. Yeah. And then when my brother came along, my dad was like, that's it. I'm sick of these weird names. Our son's going to be John.
Um, not really moving on to happier things, but I've really got no choice. The Bay.
Oh, yes.
You say that like, yes, it's really happy for you.
Yeah, well, cuz I'm in it.
Well, yeah, you are in it. I'm I'm employed. That's that's the only reason. It's not that you're a fan of parasites or anything like that.
No. I don't like parasites.
Do you hear that? What are you doing? Go away. I'm going to show the world what happened here. If you find this tape, just please get it out. So yeah, The Bay, the same producers that uh, brought us Paranormal Activity.
Yes.
All right. Yeah. That's right where you're sitting. Oh wow. Was it warm? Was it warm when you sat there? Oh, did he fart? I I'm feeling some warmness here. Wow. If you can say that about your producers, that's fine. Um, yeah, and Jason Blum, he also produced it. So it's the same venom, the sound footage. Right. And is it, is it as scary to film something like that as it is to watch?
It was scary. I mean, what was great about working with Barry was he loves spontaneity. So actually before I did the film, he didn't want any of the actors to read the script. Right. So I just knew what was going on with my character when I, cuz I play, I actually play a reporter. Actually, when I was little, oh god, I have so many things to say.
Tell me, tell me everything.
So before the audition for The Bay, I was originally supposed to audition for the character that Kristin Connolly ended up getting. But then the night before I had a dream that I was a reporter. The next day my manager calls me and he's like, you know, they actually want to bring you in for the reporter role instead.
Wow.
And I was like, I had a dream that I was a reporter. And he's like, yeah, I gotta go. I'm like, no, no, but I had a dream. I have a mission.
What other dreams have you had recently?
Okay. My friend named Taylor. I had a dream that she lost her keys. Okay. And I just told my fiance that she lost that I had this dream. I didn't tell her. So she didn't know. And then a few days later, she calls him up. She lost her keys the night before and found them on the bed when she was sleeping.
Maybe this is all because you were born on Halloween.
Yeah. You're a freak. Freak. Yeah. Exactly. I have psychic abilities.
Yeah, clearly. Clearly. But talking about that cuz I did see you. I haven't mentioned this yet. I saw you on the haunted hayride. Yes. The last time I saw her. Give me your best scream.
Oh, it's going to be loud.
Can you do it? He does. Yeah. The cameraman does. No, scream. That was a really good scream. And you were going to protect me on the hayride, but then you disappeared and I was on my own. Very scared. I couldn't I had to fend for myself. I had to.
And you ended up doing that.
But it was very scary. What are you going to dress up as for Halloween?
I'm going to be Gem. She's in a rock band. She has really big pink hair.
I'm sorry. What is it? We just had Ashley Adequie on the sofa and she's going as Minnie Mouse. Halloween is scary, people. Well, the pink hair. It's big. But you're a cartoon character. I'm not having it. Kether, I'm not having it. Think of something scary. Going back to The Bay, we've got a little quiz on parasites cuz nothing happier than that on a morning interview, so we'll do a.
I'm going to fail.
Well, it's it's about parasites. You said you were passionate about parasites.
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.
This parasite lives in mattresses and sketchy hotels.
Bed bugs. That is that what a bed bug looks like? I've never seen one. I've never seen one. Oh, that's horrible. I'm itching even. So I got the right answer.
Yes. Oh, does that make you itch? It gives you that feeling, doesn't it?
It does, doesn't it? But this is our itching. Chimian. Chimian. It makes us dance.
Anyway, moving on. Dogs and humans can get this parasite in their
Oh, oh, um. Intestinal tract. Oh, god. Hopefully your friend hasn't got one of them. I thought that was just called a parasite. No. What kind?
Tapeworm.
I knew that. People used to want to lose weight and they would eat eat. Oh, I just heard about this. Models get tapeworms and eat them to lose weight.
Models. You're wrong. Okay. These parasites suck blood and can be used for med medicinal purposes. Can suck blood and be used for medicinal purposes. Oh, why do I I guess they're not meant to look good, are they? But Um. You're shocking.
A leech. Leech. Leech. Yes. Yes.
Yeah. The kids get this parasite in their hair.
Oh, oh, um, Lice. That worries me. Can I just say that worries me how quickly you got that? No, cuz I remember in school. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. No, in elementary school they used to have um, I've got lice again. They would designate a portion of the day for people to check if we had lice. Is it weird? I used to claim that I had lice just cuz I liked the feeling of an Indian head massage.
I was just going to say, I loved it. I was like, you know, I think I have lice down here, you know. Yeah. It was my favorite part. I'm like, um, okay, you can find this parasite on the side of a peer. I didn't know that was a parasite. I thought that they were shells. I used to pick them.
Barnacle. Close. No. Is it? Barnacle. Okay. Barnacle. Oh.
Barnacle. On that note. Um. That was intense. That was intense. That's what a game show feels like. Oh my gosh. Kether, thank you for coming in.
Thank you for having me.
Congrats on the movies.
Thank you, man.
And I'm glad it's working out and you haven't got to go to game shows.
