  Speaker 3: Much better today. I was down in the dumps yesterday, fellas.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Were you? I'm back. Oh, that's good, man. I'm back today.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I don't have many down in the dumps days. What
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: were you down in the dumps about? Just a bit
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: of stuff going on.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Just life, man.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Just life, you know? Just people, man, you know?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The one thing I will say, Mogi, and the good
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: thing about life is everything passes. Everything does. Even the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: shit stuff. And even the good stuff. So even when
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: you're having a great day, just know this.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: There's a shitter.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: There is an absolute shocker coming your way.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: That's right. So don't enjoy the highs. No.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: But just know that when you're sitting that low, possibly–
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: A high is coming.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but right after that high, another fucking low, way
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: worse than this one.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: What I like to do is really indulge in the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: lows and really wallow in it. And then when I'm
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: going through a really good patch and I'm high, the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: whole time I think, oh, this isn't going to last.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can't expect this to last.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to fall apart very soon.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Genuinely, my brain is the complete opposite of that. Yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So I'll be like, hi, hi, hi. This is normal.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: This is normal that a bad thing happens. I'll be like, what?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They'll be like, hey, we're back again.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But it is interesting. You're one or the other, aren't you?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Who, me personally? No, everyone. Yeah, well, of course.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Why be one or the other?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I'm happy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Positive. I'm positive.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I'm a positive person as well.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm certainly not, Dave.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I'm positive, but I've also, I just don't. It doesn't
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: bother me. You know, like bad stuff will come along.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: It's like, that's okay.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'm okay with that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'm very much like that now. I mean, not all
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Much better.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But most of the time I'm like, oh, well.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: What the fuck. You used to be very anxious.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: About things. Yes. You've done a lot of work, Jase,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: over these last few years.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And now I'm like, that's all good, man. Yeah. KZ
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: will sort it out for me.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And it's not all good. No, of course it's not.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: But at least you're able to look at it from a– Oh, God.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: You know, you're not doom and gloom in it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, g'day, Matt.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, hi, mate, yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Look, if you want the chance to win all our
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: on-air competitions and stuff and get amongst the live conversation,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: tune in to the Hauraki Big Show, four to seven
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: weekdays on Radio Hauraki and iHeartRadio.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: The Hauraki Big Show podcast. I found recently... that I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: am a very happy, very chill person, but it's because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I've worked very hard to make my surroundings very secure. Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: As soon as anything fucks with it, you're in trouble.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why right now, because I've sold my house,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking for a new one. Nothing's come up.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have anywhere to live in a couple of months,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, fuck.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that wouldn't bother me at all.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And then, Jase, the other day we were at golf.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He was talking about going from working paycheck to paycheck.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like of acting gigs and stuff to then moving into
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: radio and it being a secure thing. And I was like,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I can't fucking imagine just sitting there like, man, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: hope another acting job comes along.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Could never do it. It would fucking do my head in.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And go for months. Well, no, I was very lucky
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: because I had a lot of voice work as well.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: which really tired me over.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But even that, you don't know if there is another way.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well, that's right. But the thing was, and I've talked
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: about this before, but the difficult thing was you'd do
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a job and then it would take two months to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: be paid.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And then you're fucked. That's right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: That's right. And then there's also, and this is kind
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: of contract stuff, and I still have these conversations with
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: my mates now who work in film, where you don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: know if there's another film coming in.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And if it does come in, you don't know if
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: you're going to get a job on it. And so
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and then often what happens is you've got X amount
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of time off, but you don't know how long that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you're going to get another job. But you don't know
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: when that job is. And I'm talking contracting. So working
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: is on set or in production or something like that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And then you get a phone call. It's like, can
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you start on Monday? So you haven't been able to
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: enjoy any of that time off because you think, ah, fuck,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: maybe I've got six months off. Maybe I've got three.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You're treading water almost.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you're just being careful because you don't know how
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: long the money's got to last. But if you knew
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: going between, it's going to be a month. It's like, fuck,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have an awesome holiday for a month. Yes.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It is stressful. It is a stressful thing.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Like it's great because you've got a bit of freedom
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: if you want it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And it used to be that you would get paid
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a lot more than you got in the normal world,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: but that's not the case anymore in film.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That's true too. Unless you work.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Fuck loads of hours. And that's the other thing in
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: film is a normal week is 25% longer than a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: civilian job. So a normal week in film is 50 hours.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: 10 hours a day. You think, so fuck, I'm rolling it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: But any job, if you chucked another 25%. salary on
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: top of it, you're probably going to go all right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Like my daughter works as crew in film and stuff.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Fuck they work long hours, man. She's exhausted all of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the time. It's just hardcore. She's there at like 5.30
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: in the morning. She leaves at 6.30, 7 at night.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So similar to us then.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, similar to us. They've got to pack everything in,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: sort everything out. The actor's swanning, oh, I'm so over it. Oh,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that's you.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: That's you.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't be bothered. Somebody get me a coffee.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You do your scene, you're brilliant, and then you leave.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, the crew.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And then before you know it, you've gone from number
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: nine on the call sheet.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: To 44. Fuck.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's an oddly specific brand.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I was so fucking fired up today on the computer
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: trying to sort shit out, right?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I wish I was there, man.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know what I did? This is truly what I did.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I went online and went rental property, Russell.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Russell.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Because there's some fucking beautiful places out there. You should
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: look up there, Kenzie.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I've got a story for you, but I can't tell
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: it on here.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Sorry, so that was all because of, are you going
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to talk about this yarn on the radio?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, I can.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think you should.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I put it in the chat, but I don't want
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to be specific about what job it is.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And in actual fact, to be fair, it's not just
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: this job. It's the way it is now. With everything.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: With everything. It's like, can you fill out this? Can
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you do this? Can you do that? Just confirming.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: No, I can't.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: You having to put a password in to log into
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a site was enough to make you look up rental
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: properties in Russell.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: It was a bit more involved than that, Keezy, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just one thing I had to do. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: there was no password. There was no password. For fuck's sake,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: there was no password.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Did you log into the rental property site?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did. That was fine.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Did you have your password?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And I tell you what, there was, and I kid
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you not, it was like the first- Where was that?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Rental properties in- Russell. Yeah, good on you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: The first property I looked at was like my dream
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: come true. It was a little cottage.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Have you got jokes going through your head now, Keezy?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Something about moving in with a guy called Russell, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that's all I've got.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It was a little cottage right next to the beach.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And I just went, ah, fuck. It was 500. Wendy J.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Cottaging with Russell.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: $ 580 a week. And I went, I.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Gamed it out.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Living with six other people. Six other young professionals.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: How long would I last?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Now, this is the trouble, isn't it, is that you've
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: got to fill up the coffers again. Unfortunately. Well, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and I are going to die soon, Jase. It's not
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: soon enough, some would say. Not soon enough.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But also, I think old hoity J, you should go
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and live up there for like a month or some shit.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, go get a short-term
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: rental or something.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Well, no, actually, but having said that, I mean, I
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: only do that when I'm massively stressed out. I love
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: being in the CBD. It's great. It's awesome.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I think going from, for example, your family batch to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the CBD is quite nice because you can switch off
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and then come back and it's alive and then switch
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: off again.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We were meant to go to the batch this weekend,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: my wife and I, but she forgot to ask her dad.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And I think someone else is there now. Fuck.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: You must have been fuming. How was that around the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Horty house? It would have been fucking quiet coming from
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: old Horty J. Old Horty J is keeping his lips sealed.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I saw his wife apparently after the bollocking she got.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: She was so stressed, she started looking up rental properties
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in Russell.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: No, it would be Coromandel for her.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Would it?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to go to the Coromandel this year.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I haven't been for years. Yes. Decades.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Like when?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Honestly, late January is going to be my aim.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, after. Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. After.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It fucking rules. I love Cook's Beach, man.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't been there, honestly, since I was 17
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: years old. We went and stayed at Hahei. Yeah, it's
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: pretty packed now. Yeah, we got a, we were staying
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: at a camping ground, met a bunch of mates. What
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: year was that?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And then got the ferry over the road and the
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: exponents were playing on this particular night.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, how good.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: So we got in there about midday. One of our mates,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: two of our mates went on a, like a ride
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: in a little airplane.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Sick.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Little fucking acrobatic number or something. Was that in Whitianga?
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: This was, they did it from the Hahe. Oh mate,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Whitianga it was.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where the airfield is. Or it's Pawanui is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the other airfield.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You'd be right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Because we came from Hahe and we came across the
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: water there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: And you went across the ferry. So that's mean.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So Cooks Beach and Hahe are cool. Cooks is my
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: favourite because you can drive, hop on the ferry for
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: seven bucks, go to Whitianga, go to the pub, nice dinner, blah, blah, blah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And then that ferry back across to Cooks Beach where
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it's chill again.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Just on that, by the way, a really good
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: friend of my wife's, who she worked with, said to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: her this week, actually, they've got a place in Cooks Beach.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: And they said, if you guys ever want to use it,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: help yourself.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And does that extend to us?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: No. That's great.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: That sounds good. I'm keen.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Because we can go there and get hammered.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of hammered, so we went to this pub
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: while we waited for our mates to go on the flight.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I drank 10 jugs in two and a half hours.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: When was this?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: When I was 17.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Right. And 10, like the plastic.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: 10 one litres.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So 30 beers. And the locals, because it was just
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a pub, you know. Yes. They were quite impressed by
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: us because we drank like animals. Yes. But then I
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: passed out in a cubicle in their toilet for four hours.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: They could not move me. Door locked. I'm in there.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I am out.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I am comatose.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Are your pants down?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I knew what I was doing. I went in there
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: and puked for a while and then nice cold porcelain
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: on the face. Nothing quite like it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a lie down.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Nothing quite like it. And then I went back in
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the car, had a sleep over there. Then came back
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: over completely sober now for the exponents. But all my
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: mates are still there and they are hammered now. They've
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: been drinking for 11 hours.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And you're like, fuck these guys.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Look at these lads.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Come on, guys. Pull yourself together. For God's sake.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we ended up going back, did that,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: then went and slept in the car overnight. And then
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: in the morning, one of the boys drove, actually woke
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: up in the morning and one of our mates was missing.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: We're like, where is he?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Where is he?
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: And there was a toilet block, a public toilet over
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the road.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: And we went around and he was passed out. on
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the other side of this toilet block. He wasn't in
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the car. I'm like, what were you doing? He goes, oh, man,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I just woke up. I just woke up, but I
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: didn't know where I was. And I was just walking around.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: He was walking round and around this public toilet looking
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: for the zip. He thought it was the tent.
