  Speaker 1: The Hodaki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hodaki.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: It is the Hodaki Big Show, more so the medium show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You've got old Mogi and Pugs filling in while Jase
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: and Hoyt and Keezy are slacking off on holiday. But
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: we're getting the guests in. We're filling the empty air,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: aren't we, Mogi?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: We are.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: With an absolute treasure. We are very lucky to be
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: joined by a special guest.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Wilson Dixon, mate. How are you?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I'm good, thanks. That's great, man.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: That's really good. You spend a lot of time in
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: this country, New Zealand, India.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Just wondering what the thinking is there, because obviously I'm
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: assuming you've got a bit of popularity around the world,
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: and yet you find yourself back on our shores, seems
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: like every couple of months. Why is that? No, no,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I'm just interested, because obviously it's a long way from home.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I've got a cousin that lives in Dunedin. Right. Dunedin.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Is it Dunedin?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: And he... He needs help. He's recovering. Well, he's eaten
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of food over his life, I guess, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: he's recovering. He's, like, trying to thin down. Yeah, right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: He goes for walks in the hills down there. The air,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you know, makes him feel better about himself because of
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: very low self-esteem. Have you ever been obese in your
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: life at all during any of it?
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: No, I was raised by, yeah, Pugs, that's a yes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: That is a yes for me. That's a hard yes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But I wish I had a musician cousin to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: over here helping me.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: For me, I was raised by a mother who was
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: heavily into fat shaming.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: And so any time there's any kind of extra pounds
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: being put around on the middle for me, I'm sickened
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: by myself.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: You've got your mother's voice in your ear. That's been
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: ingrained in me since a very early age. Probably the
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: nicest thing she's ever done for me.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Just saying something.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Well, it's that kind of tough love, isn't it? Yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't have said it was love. It was just tough.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Tough, yeah. Is she still like that? She's still kind of, yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: You think you expect that, I don't know about you,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: but you expect when they get to a certain age
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: that they soften.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: That's a rumor that one day they're going to sort
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: of look back and think, oh, I've made a meal
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: My daddy's like that too. He's tough, man.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he hasn't softened?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: No, no, even like the first ever gig I did,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I remember it was at home, you know.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And I got, you know, it was just the family around.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And I have to say, you know, the bottle thrown
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: from the back of the crowd was a bit of
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a surprise, and it was him.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Yes. But they can be your toughest critic.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and most, you know, like.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Most violent critic.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Hit me on the head and shattered on the ground.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: One of the dogs got cut.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Well, there were a couple of dogs there because they'd
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: shown an interest in music as well, you know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Indoors at the crowd.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: No, it was just out the back. It was just
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: on the porch out the back of where I grew up,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: you know, the house.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Did he not like you sort of drawing the attention
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: away from him? Was he one of those blokes?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, he just didn't. I guess he was.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: He's just got a good taste of music.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just likes good music and I was terrible.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Fellas, speaking of crowds, if I could just redirect, you're
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: back on tour.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I am on tour, yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: This is the Cabin Fever Comedy Tour with Paul Douglas. Now,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: how did you find, how did you discover Paul Douglas?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Is it just one of those since you've been here,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you found him?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Well, he was a dude that was just kind of
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: around and about, and he's got a car.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: He does.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: You can say what you like about Paul Douglas.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: He's got a car.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: He's got a car. I've always liked that about him.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And that's 90% of it, to be honest.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Now, I went and saw your recent gig down here
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: in Auckland on Queen Street.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: At the Classic. Uh-huh. Have we taken that same show
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: around with you, William?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Word for word.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The same crowd, so all of the heckling's the same,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and the interaction and the response. So it's just the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: same group of people.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: What do you think it is, Wilson, about being from Colorado?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: The American of it all that really resonates with New
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Zealand audiences. Did that surprise you?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I think like anything, I think you guys are
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: grateful for anyone that comes from overseas to come here.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: You know, to share their, you know, their creativity.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: You've come all this way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, may as well.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So we'll show out.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And it is a long way, you know, as
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: we know. It is. The furthest you can go on
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the earth without leaving the planet.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: That's right. That's right.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: That's a fact.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: So.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So it's more of a favour. Yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to keep us everywhere.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fantastic. It's kind of like a make-a-wish kind of
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: situation for the whole country.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I am surprised that you're so close to your cousin.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Well, people aren't generally that close to their cousins. They're
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: not enough to travel to, as you say, a country
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: that's further away than anywhere else. Yeah. Three, four times
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a year you're coming down here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I say he's my cousin. He's the brother of
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: my ex-wife.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Right, okay. To be honest, most of the relationship is around,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I still want to get to her, you
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I want to get
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: in her head, and it feels like, I don't know
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: if any divorce people out there, but it doesn't end
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: when you sign the divorce papers.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: No, that's right.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It keeps on going, and you want to keep winning.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing, I think. Oftentimes people, and we've
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: talked about this before at length, But oftentimes people look
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: at marriage as something to be shared, you know, something
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: that two people can come together and elevate a relationship
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: and create something bigger, whereas I've always seen it as
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to win arguments or upper hands, all that
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: sort of stuff. And I've always been a competitive person,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: so having somebody in the house that I can hopefully dominate,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: you know, that's the– That's the dream. That is the dream.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And so when they divorce you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. It's not fair.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: It's not fair. It can hurt.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It can hurt. Yeah. And so you've got to try
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: to keep that hatred going. That's so....
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But, Wilson, if I could just... We are here to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: talk about the Wilson Dixon and Paul Douglas Cabin Fever
