Speaker 1 (00:00):
For all you lead bastards loving the Big Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Get up even closer.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
On Instagram, YouTube, and ticked off for for dougging for
silver levering weekday on radio.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
That's correct.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
How you know it?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I keep getting these stabbing pains in my head at
the moment, probably I think so, just in the back
of my head. It's man shooting pain.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, that's no good man. I just went out to
a kidney specialist because of my polycystic kidney diseases. Yes,
I've got a liver the size of I don't know
how honkers combined. Wow, that big.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's like chriple size or something, Isn't that?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's huge? Yes, So it goes it should sit on
as you look down. It should be answerting underneath your
own right underneath your right nipple. But mine goes right
the way across and is also underneath my left nipple.
And she's saying that if it starts affecting your appetite,
because it can squeeze your stomach, then they just cut
a big chunk of it out. So that's good. It's

(01:02):
good to know that that can happen well.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
And obviously you've got a backbone liver to take all
the pass you know what I mean, that's exactly what
I've got. I think my lever would just be a
leather strap.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I don't know. I think the polycystic kidney disease made
it went spread to the liver. So now that's polycystic.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
So there's a disease. There's a disease, cause bug on
the purse or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's genetic. It's a genetic deficiency on a mutant. You've
heard of the X men. Yeah, I'm like that, but
a loser, right, I'll live shorter life. Oh wow, I'll
go on dialysis. No, I've actually got a pretty good
form of it where i won't have to go on dialysis.
So that's good. Yeah, but just sucks. I wouldn't well, yeah,

(01:45):
that's not great. Although me and Joan Olomu that you know,
another thing we've got in common. And then I've got
to get an MRI scam because often you can. If
you've got this, you can get aneurysms right, and you
can even narrow thing in your brain. So she goes,
But if she said, if you've got any history of
that and your family not as far as I know,

(02:06):
But I didn't really know my dad's side. She goes,
I don't think we need to do it. I was like,
let's do it. Just do it just so that I'm
not lying away, So let's just do that.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Even mentioning that that could possibly be a thing, I
would one hundred percent check.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I would like to check that, I'd flag it. Yeah,
you know what I mean. She'll be fine, yeah, living
in bliss.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, stressed and then well and then just what lights out?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh wow?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah yeah, but you'd probably be a vegetable. I reckon
for a while, you know, like your mouth the jar
and just drill coming out. Someone having to wipe you down.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
We'll still wheel into the studio.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Dribble.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well, yeah, I said the front man.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
You fat you do for a craft?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
How are we going anyway, fell us? Apart from your
sistic vibrosis, yes, what is it?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Polycystic kidneys? Polycystic kidneys. Other than that on tip.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Top, I had that thing, Jase, that you've talked about
before where you've got a trading round. Yes, and so
you're trying to look like you're not doing fuck all. Yeah,
because at the moment, like I've done all the jobs
around the house, that needs doing, old old job. I
had a big list of things. I've done them all
and the last one was this particular job which he's doing. Yes,
And so I'm just sort of spent a lot of

(03:35):
time on my laptop sitting at the kitchen table there,
just yeah, doing all sorts of stupid ship and then
just decided to draw the curtains for the last couple
of hours.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I just watched.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
And it's the drawing of curtains that's really sas you
know what I mean. They think God a feeding off. Well,
I've got tradees over as well today, so it's trading dated.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
The giveaway was, you know, and you're like ship and
that was when you flick on Instagram and the volumes
on ah telltale sign that you're doing fuck.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I told you guys when I was getting the roof
done and we've got like on our lounge, just a
really small little deck right next to our French doors
on our lounge. Yeah, And the feel was when they
were doing the roof and there were six of them
at various points would have their smokos on that little deck.

(04:29):
I'd be sitting in my lounge and about three or
four or five feet away would be these six trades
having daries and having their smokeo and I'd be on
my couch watching a bit of you know, Rafel or something.
But you do go fucking ow, I gotta I can't
be doing this ship. I got to go and look

(04:51):
as out I'm doing Ship.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
The whole Lucky Big Show week days from four on
Radio Hurdarchy.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Racking Big Show Podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've got this issue with the trade that's at my
place is if I had to guess, I would say Argentinian.
Really nice guy. His name is Rodrigo, but he's very
much the worker. And I've been dealing with the manager
right right. The manager comes along, I have a good
year with him, really nice, and then Rodrigo has a
yeng with him and their native tongue, and then there's

(05:22):
a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, but this is that.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
But I've got the feeling that Rodrigo is a bit grumpy.
Oh really like and he's probably my age, you know,
but I've got the feeling he's fucked off about something,
because every time I talk to him, he's really fucked off.
And I'm like, but I could be a language thing,
it could be like a culture's thing. So I do
this often anyway. Actually that's a lie.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I never have.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I was like, maybe fake. I've got a few
coke zeros in the fridge cans, and I was like,
I was looking at the fridge and make myself coffee.
I want to go give him an off from a
coke zero. Maybe that'll help. So I go out there
and show's sorry.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
He comes.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
He's like waves me down and he's like, hey man,
because of the weather, this isn't dried in time. I'm
gonna have to come back tomorrow, like really fucked off
about it. And I'm bro, it's all good, it's all good,
it's all good. And I was anyway, I thought you
might want to drink. So here's a coke. He's, oh,
thank you so much, sir, thank you, thank you. He
called me. Yeah, takes his glove off, cracks into it,

(06:21):
has a big drink and he goes, yeah, man, like
this isn't It's like, I'm gonna have to come back,
like not swearing, but like really agitated.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
And I was just like, fucking hell, what was going
on here?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
And then he had a sugar rush and he was
off to the races.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, I do that all the time, if there's like,
if there are, it's like when we got out once week,
don't I make the fellows coffee all the time because
we've had the old coffee machine there. And it's good
to create a harmonious situation where people go, this guy's
a good bastard.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I thought, you know, that absolute whipping of a bloke
that walks past every now and then, Yes, he was
about to walk past, and so I was like, just
brace yourselves of their feeling.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, there's a guy that walks past is like the
biggest weapon you can ever imagine.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, he is unique individual. Yeah, you don't want to
get him back to him. I've never seen one of
them before.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, neither. No, maybe in the movies.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, no, nothing like that. Nothing, absolutely not, not with
a head on it. No, I've never seen it.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I like to think about what people a picture right now,
this's an absolute specimen.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
A specimen is an absolute species.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
But there is But also for me, like just getting
back to trade e chat. Oh, there's something I find
quite reassuring.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
About having a man around.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, having a man around the house doing shit, you
know what, well, you know, just fixing stuff. It's there's
something gratifying about that.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Other people to do stuff for you.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh you know, I used to feel slightly emasculated by it,
but now I'm like, yeah, fucking great, man, fix it up.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
But also, it's a skill thing. It's something to do
with being a man exactly. It's like, particularly some jobs,
sure you can probably do yourself, but some of them
are like, I don't actually have the skills to do
a good job of this. I'm gonna make it look shit.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, as I was saying to you know before, Kesy,
I was taking out stumps this morning, and then I
had to take my daughter into fucking Menacu.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
But this is manuco. Yeah, okay, whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
It got, It's just it's fucking shit man stumps.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Why didn't she get a driver's license?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
She's in the process.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
There are yes, but then I would love to watch
you giving her Listen.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I tell you what, man, there is nothing more terrifying
than when you're, in my case, your daughters get their
driver's license and they go, thanks, can I borrow the
car by It is the fucking most terrifying thing in
the world. And you just sit there while they drive off,
going oh fuck, yeah, you know, what I mean, fucking hell,

(08:54):
rather that than have her driven by some fucking idiot
that drives too fast or gets pissed. Yeah that oh yeah, true.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, But I mean as long as the teacher was
a good driver, you know what I mean, as long
as you know that she's driving off with the best
possible driving education.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
True story. The teacher is my wife, not me. They
won't drive in the car with me because you want
to sit on their lap and steer up.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Actually years when we play golf with Jason, you hit
it even a fraction, not straight. He goes, oh, and
he just cannot stop doing it. You'll be playing with
a stranger.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Imagine an hour and around with Kizy. I'm doing it constantly.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, like so complete strangers teeing off in front of us.
We're waiting to use the T box next, right, and
if one of them shanks that, Jase will go oh
and they would turn her around. What the fuck?

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Have a couple of slugs of that tequila there, Magie, Yeah,
get into a pig star.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Again in this place? Who knows? Yeah, that's the thing. Man,
What the fuck is this now? A text? What's the stages?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
No pugs has just posted that fucking video of me
in the meeting.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Do you have your notifications on for Instagram? Yeah? What
if you get tagged and something, I could give a
ship you're the man, though, I just save it off
because otherwise you're constantly on it. Yeah right, I know.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I very rarely go on Instagram. No, seriously, I would
spend I don't even look at our staff three minutes
on it.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Maybe in the day. That's good.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Actually, I've been limiting myself massively as well.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's just hanging out with us.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I just find Instagram just not very engaging.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Sure, what a weapon? Thanks man.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
No buzzies, there's plenty of buzzies
