  Speaker 1: For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show Podcast,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, or
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Raw Dog It, four to seven every weekday on Radio Hodake.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Can you hear the fleming there, can't you? G'day, fellas. Hello.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: How's life?
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: This is the first I've spoken. 15 minutes ago, I
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: said something to Pugs. It was the first words I'd
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: said today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Because I've been at home alone. It feels weird.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does sometimes, doesn't it? I'm often surprised by
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the sound of my own voice.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Because you just start chatting to yourself, don't you?
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: People won't know this, but you are often practicing lines
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and things, sort of walking around the studio here muttering
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to yourself. Practicing lines and things.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Funnily enough, Mogi, funnily enough, since you've been saying that,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: my wife is currently, she's about to do an audition
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: for something.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: And she's been muttering lines to herself. And I keep going.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: And I said to her today, what are you doing?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And she said, doing a hoity J.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: 100% shit. And I went, what?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And she went, doing what you do. And I went, oh, okay. Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Does she call you hoity J?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Sometimes. Just to reinforce a bit of radio too. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: That's good shit. Yes. But you'd often do it, especially
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: if you've got the top of, so for example, if
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it's a goat. Something like that. You know, if there's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a big announcement thing, a big break.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Or it was always at the start, your first sentences
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: for the Black Clash.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You'll always be running that one, running that one. Yep.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Red leather, yellow leather, red leather.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Yellow leather. It was very, very common for me pre-audition
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to just be walking along saying my lines out loud.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: When you learn your lines, do you put anything on
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: it or are you just learning the words? Or are
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you learning how you'll say it as well, the intonation? Yeah.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I'm initially learning the words and then I make sure
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that I say it out loud because often when you,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: and I've spoken to you about this, Keezy, I don't know.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: If you heard. How many times has he told you?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: What is it again? Say it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You've got to say the lines out loud because when
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I first started off acting and doing auditions, I just
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: learned the lines quietly in my head.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And then I'd do the audition and I'd say the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: words out loud and go, oh, is that what it
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: sounds like? And actually kind of throw myself.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: But you need a private space. I can't even, like,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: when I've done my auditions and I'm practicing my lines,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: I can't even have my wife with an air shot.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: She has to be, like, out of the house. Same,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: generally speaking. I'm the same. Early on, it's certainly like that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's embarrassing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: It's just weird. I just feel like I can't relax
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: and do it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: But even I used to do that with stand-up comedy.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I used to be saying my lines as I was
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: walking into the club.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: And would you make sure you're doing it in an
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: empty room?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: No, just on the street.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That just was a happy coincidence.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Just on the, you know, at the lights.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Muttering to himself. At the lights. Yes. I need somebody
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to give him two bucks. Yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the one and two dollar notes, Jase?
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Really? Did we have those?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Was the one dollar note brown?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: The $ 1 note was a sort of a weird beige.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It was white, creamy, and then the writing was slightly
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: darker than that. I've never seen one. The $ 2 note
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: was a purpley sort of bluish color. Oh, yeah, that's right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Purpley bluish hue. I kept them for many years when
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: they got rid of them. The great travesty, of course,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: being that, and you knew this would happen, was that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: lollies at the shop used to be one cent each. Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So you would go to the shop with your one
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: dollar and you would get 100 lollies. Yeah. That's what
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: we call good eating. Yeah, totally, man. And then they
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: got rid of the one and the two cent pieces,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: which of course is slightly different, and you're on to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: your fives. It was one lolly for five. And they started,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: because that was my great concern, Keezy. And they said, oh, no,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it'll be five, and then five. Before you know it,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: three for five. And then very soon after that, they're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: fucking robbing you, man.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: See.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: 20, 100 to 20.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: See, when I was at school, 20 for a dollar
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: was like good. I was like, fuck yeah. I don't
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: know what it is now. Probably half it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, pretty bad, yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: When I was at school.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: When I was at school? I didn't even have school.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And I used to buy my lunch occasionally. And I've
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: said this before. And I'm just trying to remember, actually.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: A pie, a packet of chicken.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Chips, and a donut. And a raspberry butter. Oh, you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: go down that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: And a donut was like 20 cents. Or 50 cents.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: 20 or 50.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Fuck, that's good, eh?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe 50.

• 5:28
  Speaker 2: That was the cheapest, I remember that being. Yeah. $ 1. 25.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that feel like it must have been 1927? Yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, the pictures.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: It really does.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We go to the pictures.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: It really does feel like that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: There's no sound.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Well, it's weird because I'm already starting to catch myself
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: saying shit that my dad used to say to me.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yes. Like when I was a boy, all this was
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: just farmland. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I say that all the time about shit.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I remember my old man took us around when we
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: were young, around Wellington to his old haunts where he
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: was growing up, and just got himself into a fury
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: about how things had changed. Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah. So
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: this turned into a really miserable experience.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I'm in this situation now where I'm seeing my wife
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and I through my daughter's eyes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Not good.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, fuck.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: We're turning into those old people.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I don't even really– I can't really describe it, Keezy,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: but just being der brains.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I can give you a couple of options. Number one,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: what's really great that's just started happening is my daughter
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: imitates us now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Does she?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So we've become– we say obviously say things the same
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: way all the time and repeat ourselves in a way
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you know like you've got quotes she'll.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Come out every morning and you'll go oh here he is.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Oh i'm always doing that but more along the lines
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: of like mock it to uh denigrate us you know
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like sort of like oh you're gonna be it earlier
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: whatever you know whatever it is you know all right
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: so now we're Now we're that. Yeah. And then the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: other thing that I've caught is my wife saying, like
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: my wife will, Frank and my daughter will show something
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to my wife. And my wife will go, oh, that's cool.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And in my head I'm like, right, you can never
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: say something's cool again. Do you know what I mean?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Because my wife saying something's cool, she used to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: cool saying that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, not anymore.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: But now she's a mother. I hear her saying that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I hear myself saying something that's cool to my child
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and I can hear it and it's like I can't
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: use it anymore because I'm an uncool old piece of.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Shit well maybe cool isn't the word anymore maybe cool
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: that's the equivalent but you know when old people say
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: cool can you imagine somebody older than you saying oh
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: that's cool and it's like what do you fucking know
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: about cool I'm cool.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I've just kind of like with my daughters The classic
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: for me now is organising a trip. And my daughters
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: are like, what are you fucking doing?
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I think my parents, who are very well travelled, like
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: they travel all the time.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yes. I think the way they organise trips is ridiculous. Exactly.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And yet they've done it their whole lives perfectly good.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: But then you come in. Yes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And, you know, it was funny. Me and my wife
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: were having a chat about this the other day. But
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: there's more.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Your way is not necessarily the right way.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: No.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So I've got a way that I do it. Yes,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and it works. But there's a thousand other ways to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: do it. So just because people don't do it your
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: way doesn't mean it's the wrong way. It's just not
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: your way.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I think it is, and too, because, you know, like
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: my daughters are machines when it comes to organising trips
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and they're really good with deals and stuff. Whereas my
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: wife and I will be like, oh, fuck it, let's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: just do this. And let's do that. And they'll be like,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: why are you doing that?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: But also you haven't, You haven't been accustomed to going
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: on trips because your whole life you're on the bones
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of your ass raising four daughters. Yes, yes. So because
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: of the hard work you put in, they know how
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to travel.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: But you are just learning it now that they've gone. Yes.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's exactly true. That's exactly the truth.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: See, I think the way my parents travelled, it isn't ridiculous.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: They're pretty damn savvy, but I would do things differently.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: You would do it differently, yeah.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, they travelled at a time
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: where you had postcards and you had to drive into
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: a town and book a motel.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And ask for directions.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: And you had to arrive there before the motel's closed
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: so you could have somewhere to stay and follow a
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: map and stuff like that.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Fuck why to me i want to be terrible.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: But you'd be good it'd be great because and that's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that's what i like i like the um the adventure
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: well i like the people that's the part that i
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: like and so all of these things that are there
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to make your life better inverted commas remove your interactions
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: with the people and so the maps now you don't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: stop if you get lost you don't stop and ask
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: for directions if you're checking in somewhere it's an airbnb
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: there's a lot with a key in it. That's right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: There's no interaction. All these ways that we're streamlining our lives,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: you're just you on your own every step of the way. Yes.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Except for your wife. And it fucking rules. So good, man.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to anyone.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean, you know. That's why I'm going
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to Japan. It's just vending machines. You can put your
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: money in. Well, just sort of that. There you go.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: And then a small hatch opens and ramen comes out.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And then you go back to your 10-square-meter apartment. That's right.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Case in point, actually.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: It beat off.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: We were looking for an Airbnb in this particular place
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: in Australia, right? And there was just fucking nothing there.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: And my wife was like, why don't we just stay
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: at a hotel?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah. Look at hotels. Yeah, totally.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Let's just stay at a fucking hotel. What are we
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: doing here?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: But you do get used to doing things like that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So I was looking for a book. I can't remember
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: what it was. I can't remember what it was. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I couldn't find it. And I was looking high and low.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: And this guy had recommended it to me. And I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: was just like, it's not anywhere, man. It's like none
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of the books sort of stock it. It's not on Amazon, blah, blah, blah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And he goes, have you tried the library? Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I forgot that libraries existed, man.
