(00:57):
and then he went to change. We got caught in
betwixt them between and then for the entirety of the
rest of the time, I know, both of us, we're
thinking about it. A bad handshake is kind of like
bad sex. Hard thing to forget. It's hard thing to
forget about, and it's not great to start a relationship with.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes, and it's and it's also like a misjudged cass
you know what I mean, Where you go and you go, oh,
they are we doing Oh and you sort of bump

For your cheek and you put your tongue down. You're
a shocking Bursard Pegs.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, he's a great good Did you like how my
one question was about whether or not he's playing an
older Johnny Cage in that.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Move? Yeah, Ed, I was actually thinking to myself for
that was the one brief moment where the thought of
that handshake went out of my head. Oh my god,
Pugs has done something even worse.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Just as some question your old Johnny Cage.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah it was good, a great career.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, ship he has and huge respect to guys like him.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Born Ultimatum he did, or Born Identity one of the
Bourne movies. Yeah, it's one of that hit Me and
Chasing Down Matthew matt Damon Matthew Daimon as I call him. Yeh, Yeah,
he's done some cool ship. I'll be honest with you.
I'd like to see him do some more drama. Absolutely
good actor.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, he's a really good actor.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah. Out of the Blue is very Have you seen that?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I love that?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, he's great. That's the Oh yeah, yeah, great film,
though not as depressing as you'd think. Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One of my very Good Mates is the star of that?
Oh yes, Maddie and what's that Sunderland.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, he's a great He's a very very very good actor.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
He's an excellent actor, and he's always, always, ever since
I've known him, just had an intensity about it.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Nice. There's some people that are like that, you know,
in different kinds of ways. One is you get a
chemeratune on you and they're just so even been looking
on screen than they own real life. Yes, But another
one where you can have that intensity and you just think,
man if I had that, you know, where there's so
much of the work has done. Not that Met's not
his great actor as well as yes, but fuck would
(03:21):
be such a treat to hear something like that. I
remember one actor who I mean, I've got big ears
and a massive honker but outside of that, yes, bulging
eyes obviously massive head.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You know, the actor Sarah Wiseman. Sarah, and she does
a lot of work in Australia. Now, she's one of
those actors. I mean, she's beautiful in real life, but
when she's on screen, the screen just kind of Yeah. People,
some people just have that because you're.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Saying in real life.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, no, I wasn't. She's a very lovely persons, a
lovely human, very and done very well over nas.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Very very well. Do I resent it? Not at all.
I think I was up for any of those roles.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
No, well, to be far, they were probably female.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Right job of them given half a chance. That's the thing, paging,
you don't know this man when it comes to the
acting shirt. It's all politics, mate.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
That's exactly why I didn't ask many questions in that
whole thing.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I feel like you guys obviously have extensive acting knowledge
and a lot of the questions.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Except for that one question you asked. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
If I just finished one point, but I feel like
sorry about this.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Cal The Whole Big.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Show week days from four on Radio Hiarchy The wy
Big Show Podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
No, I just feel like you guys had You guys
had the knowledge to exchange with him about that industry,
and I didn't have it. Is I need to get
more confident with interviewing. But I also just the direction
that it was going my place.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But in fearness, Pugs, I was asking him a question
and then I head halfway through the question, no idea
what I was talking about, which very really happens to
me generally speaking. But I certainly just went I don't
even know what the question is that as you you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But there is there is like the heaps of stuff
you want to know the answer to, but you can't
even you can't ask about it because it's like I
like the it's the biggest prick because some shocking bursts. Yea, yeah,
you know that you've worked with shock and Burstard's the
worst person you've I've got one, actually, I've got one,
very well known, very well known person funk with off here.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, can you tell me how we blip it as
Jason Hoyt.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, I'm sure you beat that.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I don't want to marry He's a shocking piece of ship.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Actually, I've never really worked with anyone that was an
out and out dickhead. I've worked with people who have
felt and this is more a reflection on me than them.
Probably we're way too earnest and serious about it all.
(06:16):
You know, where it's the art and it's the craft,
and it's all very precious and I get it, but
sometimes I think people can be over the top with
that element of it.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Spent dedicated time satirizing those kinds of people and hear.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But I've seen a few tantrums, definitely. I've seen tantrums
and hungry.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You know what. I've been on set for two hours
and they put me in this pigeon out that was
fucking funny and broken Wood. Actually it's coming soon. I
think they're going again as well.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes they are, I think. But it was the final
episode of the series, so it wouldn't have played it anyway.
But yeah, people fucking cracked up about me having to
wear pigeon because it was steamy as fucking that. It
was so good, especially when you're in like like an
interview room getting interviewed and it's like a little box
(07:19):
with heaps of people in there.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You just steam.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Can you contextualize the pigeon outfit?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's basically just a massive, fat pigeon.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Yeah, but why were you wearing it?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh? It was part of the proma of my new
business with the pigeon Broken And I think, I'll.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Tell you what. If I was on that show and
I'm a producer, I'm just thinking, what can we get?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
That's what they do here?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I do. I did wonder if there was an element
of that because the people were pissing themselves, just going, yeah, boy.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Every time there's any kind of cost that comes into
this office, Kate the lovely Lady in the opposite, her
first thought is can we get Jason can.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Mask? Yeah, it's like the whole costume, Kate fucking what.
It was really interesting because on and it was just
quite an insight actually on Broken Wood in the last season,
there was a bit of a technical malfunction. Let's leave
it at that, and and so we had to reshoot
(08:30):
some stuff and apparently everyone was terrified of talking to
me about it. And I think it was because, funnily enough,
it was me and my pigeons the interview, and I
was like, and people were going and saying to the
person who had to talk to me about it, good luck.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
And.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I think he was, ah, fuck, But I was fine,
that's all good. It was a little bit that it was.
That's all good man, that's but actually what was most
annoying about it was that it was a very dense
dialogue scene and like like five sex pages of dialogue.
(09:14):
So that was I don't know about how it is
for you, Magie. Once I've done the scene at Tins,
it kind of slips out of your brain. Before you
do it, it's there, but once you've done it, you
kind of go okay, don't.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Believe and you let it go.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, it's like storage on your computer.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I remember the time you and he was there. No keysy.
Today Fellas has gone away to play golf. God fuck?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Should you even be allowed to day off of that money?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Isn't it? You can do it if you like. It's crazy, man,
I need to tighten up around the leaves that we're
getting here because it's bullshit recking.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Especially with Jason.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
He's out of control.
