seven every weekday on Radiocare.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, man, hi guys, man, how are we going? Team?

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Really good?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I was just adjusting my computer. I don't know why
I never look at it no use, so I might
as well. I think Manaia might be a bit upset
if I did that.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
Where he uses it because it's there to be used.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeahous various radio reasons.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
All right, Keysy, tell us about your big head, buddy,
let go.

Speaker 5 (00:40):
You get I'm tired now though.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Yeah, it's a lot of mental strain. Men, all those
lines before me. Also towards.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
When we're doing takes, towards the end, I just couldn't
the lines just wouldn't stick in my brain. Yeah, all morning,
sweet airs, big long ones about the Edmund. That's Edmund,
that sweet airs. And then towards the end, I was
just like, okay, running out of like mental juice here.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Do you think it was the heat? Maybe?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Did you fire it up? A fire it up at
some of the crew. Now.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
It was very nice to the crew because I know
you guys did that. What you guys do is be
assholes to the crew.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Well yeah, I mean it's sort of like that Christian
Bale tape, you know, where he blows up at the cinematographer. Yes,
you and me, we're done. Man.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Yeah, you're a fucking amateur, you know. Fortunately I knew
one of the jd that used to work here that
shut up Pikings and all that he was out of
the crew.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
So I didn't realize your headlines. I had been a
lot more anxious for you had i'd known that.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
No. But it was good though, because the lines were
very much this is what we want you to say,
how you'd say.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
They wanted to be They wanted to be real easy.
They wanted to be authentic.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
You know. They wanted to be authentic man.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Yeah, they wanted me to be authentic.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah. But it was all good. But as I say,
tired now, Like it really being attentive for that long
and then you're sitting there and they're like, hey, sill
get you, and then you sit back and be like
all right, and then oh you're a good man is
just sitting there quietly and I'm just considering energy.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Man, yea, yeah, it can be very draining. It's it's
more for me. It's not the acting part. It's are
sitting around that's draining. Yeah, you know when you're just going,
oh god, and it's an hour and a half before
you shoot something, and then they take fifty minutes to
say that.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
That is that you get called to sit nine hours beforehand.
But you can't stay home. You got to go in
there and be there. Yes, And I know why, but
it still annoys me.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
I mean, I was there at seventh thirty, not too
bad this morning on the north Shore, way up on
the north shore, Brown's Bay, beautiful, and I didn't start
doing anything until eight thirty.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Oh that's pretty quick.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
That's actually pretty And I was like, oh, here we
go to hurry up and wait for the old saying
apparently and TV film.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Fast and I was makeup.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I have a church chair, but I actually how I
helped set up to help carry some gear.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's better than just sitting around doing nothing. She liked
you doing that, genuinely. They I used to think. I
used to be the same, and especially because I've come
from being part of the crew and so everything I did,
I knew the crew and then you're like, oh, now
I'm not going to have But they just want you
to sit down and shut the fuck up so they
know where you are. They don't want you making your
own coffee, they don't want your helping out. Yes, and

(03:18):
it took me a long time to learn this same.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
I feel particular crew is not the same crew as
what you're thinking.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, you probably.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
It was probably a very small crew, super chill.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I remember when I was doing Hercules or Zena or
one of those, and there was an American actress in
it who was my love interest.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
And Roseanne bar I can't remember her name.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
She's American, verymedian. But at one point we were in
between scenes and I went to pick up something to
help one of the crew and she went, what.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
The fuck are you doing?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
And I was like what and she said, no, don't
don't do that. That's for the crew to do. They
hate it when you do that.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Went on, Okay, that's actually different because in the States,
it's all it's all guild in union. Yes, so you're
literally not allowed to help anyone with a light standard.
It's the same in the UK, yes, so it's a
bit different.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It is a bit different than that that is weird.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Well because also taking a job off of somebody that's
their job.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
And yourself, like picking up something and maybe cutting your
hand or something.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Fuck help you boys.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yes, that's very opposite of how humans should operate.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Though, well it's different to how it's in New Zealand.
But in New Zealand we're not unionized.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah right, So because today, for example, they was trying
to set up this easy up thing and it required
there were three people doing it required a fourth person
on the fourth corner. So I jumped on the corner.
That helped them out.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Sweethearts, what would have happened if you had to slice
your finger off?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
They would have been.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Fucked doing what puts sitting up and easier.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Those are reliefal Bard, they shut it down.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's if I slice my finger off up and down?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
You like, No, slice your finger Off'll stop.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Beating off an imaginary giant penis with your hands.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
There.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
No, it was one of those ones where you put
the sticks to you click all the sticks together and
then you put the throw and that sort of beans
into a circle.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Okay, so not a proper easy out.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
If I cut my hand doing that, then I deserve
to have no hand.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, I mean one of the coils might have sprung
out and taken.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean it was with the rest the whole
ky Big Show week days from four on Radio Hidarchy,
remember the Warky Big Show podcast.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
The thing is, I'm not comfortable sitting around and watching
other people do all the work.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, no one is. But it's just the way it.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Is, right, something you have to get used to it.
But also I read the vibe of the situation. The
vibe was hey, give it, yeah, and it was sweet as.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
As your agent going to have to tear a strip
off them for letting you do that. It's really bad practice.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
I can't believe it's bad practice.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
This is I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Well, it is how it is, man.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah, interesting because in radio, for example, I feel like
that's not how we operate. You're good, whose well, it's
not how we operate. Like if you see people doing
stuff traditionally you help out.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes, Oh, I mean I wouldn't even do it for
radio myself, I've noticed. I mean, I just leave that
to the filth. Though I have offered with pugs occasionally.
I've gone, do you need a hand packing stuff into
the car and he's like no, no, no, no, leave.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
It please, And I'm like, okay, all right, all right.
I mean I don't put up a fight. Yes, put
it that way.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm right happy for him to do it, all yeah,
And then I can just pass off and do whatever
I'm doing.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
You know what I'm sayings, how is the lawn today?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Man?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Good?

Speaker 5 (06:47):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (06:48):
You're doing?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Lawn admin? I want to know what that is?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, just mowing the lawns.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
And I'm so trimming the edges, push ma, push my yeah,
push mah.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
And the old weed eater?

Speaker 5 (06:59):
How long were they when you cut it?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Not too long.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
To take the top off and then you know, you know,
take the top of the grass off and then do
another one with the catcher on.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
No, I don't deal with it with the catcher on
as I used to be.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
But it's like why And then I heard Jeremy talking
once about how it's actually better to let the grass
go back into the grass. Do you get a healthier
grass doing that?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
And it also aligns with your laziness?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah? True.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I mean it's a pain in the arse having to
stop every fucking two minutes. The empty the bloody thing
completely agree, and then you have to chuck them in
the corner over over the over the fence.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Into Bill's yard, No, into the one of the townhouses
there fills your neighbor and wahiki wasn't it feels.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
His Phil's really interesting actually died? Did he have you?
Have you been over there?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
But what what happens is whenever I do my lawns,
then an hour later he'll do his. It's like he's
very I think he's one of those guys that's really
big on.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Standards, keasy with their haircuts.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, we yeah, kind of.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
It's because I'm really big on standards.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
He is.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, you know those people that you know want to
keep up appearances and they don't want anyone else having
a nicer looking property than them, so they'll immediately go
and do their lawns.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
I never heard of that, but I like it.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
There was at the weekend in christ Church at a
barbecue with friends of ours, and the bloke there has
a robot Lawnmarwer, which I'm a big fan of because
I've got the robot vacuum, which I really enjoyed. Didn't
think I would does a really great job the vacuum. Sorry,
the lawn mower. It goes off once every two days
and takes like a few mills off the lawn. And
now his lawns these amazing lines and it no ketchup,

(08:42):
and it looks like it's and it looks phenomenal. Yeah,
I'm going to get one man one day. Well, I
quote a man at the moment day.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I like the process of doing the lawns.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
I love doing the kind of doing the lawn.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I detach from what's going on around me and just well.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
The idea is, of course, is that it's a pain
in the hour. See I'm off to do the lawns.
But you get a bit of peace and quiet totally.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
You know.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
The roar of that engine qualifies as peace and quiet.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
So interesting it must be once you have kids or something.
Because I am so stoked I don't have to do
the lawns.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
It's great. I love it.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
The only thing about my lawn maarer is it's it's
a bit wobbly and it's belching a lot of black
sort of smoke. At the moment, I think I might
have put too much oil in the engine.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Is it right?

Speaker 4 (09:24):
On? The oil on the on the engine?

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Oh, you meant to put it on.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
You see there you put it? Did you put it
in the engine?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I put it in the engine? What God damn?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
But no, I love it.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Actually there's something And I remember my daughter Millie saying
to me, actually it makes me happy when you do.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
The lawns because you're out of the house.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Maybe probably and.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
My piece, I mean the roar of a lama.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, she it made her settle.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Job.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Today I witnessed that. I was like, Hardy j would
love that job. A guy who lived out at Brown's Bay,
which is beautiful there, and he's an older fellow brown
to Bay, and his job was to hop on the
big tractor and back people's boats and for them, and
he just sort of sat outside waiting and then someone
will come up like, hey, can you bet and then
he'd be like, yeah, link it up to his dad.
Have to put it onto his tractor, and then big

(10:14):
John dere thing.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
I have to watch it.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
And then he literally we're just backing and let them go,
drive off, park the trailer and then sit down again.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's a fucking great idea because the amount of debarcles
I've seen at boat ramps.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Would you be of any use?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I wouldn't be I'd be terrible.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Quickly. Yes, that's just repetition.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, I understand the logic of it, how it works,
but I would be terrible at it.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, as long as you put oil on the engine
of the big tractor.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
And in the ocean and then back into it.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I saw a guy back his boating in French Bay
and the and then drove his trailer and car back
up to the car park.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
While I was boat floated off so he didn't like.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
He didn't tie it to anything.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
He just left it in the water and it literally
floated out to sea.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Did he swim out to it?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
He had he had no choice.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
What a backbone boat idiot.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's the sort of thing I do a dip ship.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Hey, listen to the Big Show four or seven weekdays
