Speaker 1 (00:00):
For all you med bastards loving the Big Show podcast,
get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube and ticked off
for raw targets for TO seven every weekday on radio.
I care, don't get eight fellows. Here is here? I
am here, he is.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I got lost there for a while, but then I
found myself here. I'll tell you what, fellas. We're here
in Fiji, and what a salubrious, magnificent establishment this place says.
I mean, Fiji in and of itself is beautiful, but
this place is next level.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
It is.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's too good for us.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yes, it's way too good for it. It's not too
good for us yet, but soon it will be. But
I bet there'll be lots of people that's too good
for I saw a lot of Australians out there. It's
so good for them, and you can only imagine it's
going to go the rails for them. Oh, you totally.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm amazed that they're even allowed in here. I mean,
that's not racist, is it? No, that's that's that's all
g And I'm steering across the little desk here and
Mogi's got himself a massive coconut drink. What is that
particular combo there that you're running, Mogi.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, it's making my head quite hot, so that's normally
a precursor to that's normally a precursor to an effect
on the speech. But what it is, it's an entire
coconut with a head lopped off it and then it
had well. The gentleman asked me if i'd like it's
strong or not, and it seemed rude to say no.
So I think it's pretty much just a lot of

(01:32):
rum and some coconut water in there. And then he
decorated it with a bit of pineapple, one cherry and
something else, and yeah, it's good, she's strong.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I tasted it. It's like someone just lopped the head
off a coconut, tipped all the water out and then.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Just tipped rum it. Yeah, okay, and then gave it.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
To old Mogi. He asked me if I wanted five
year old, a seven year old or fifteen year old rum, right,
and I just said whatever, it's the cheapest. Yeah, yeah,
only fifteen year old rum in a coconut.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
If you're drinking it out of a coconut, doesn't it does?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Give me Give me, Captain Morgan, which one has the
highest alcohol content on it responsibly of course. Well what
you fellas were doing that? I went for a quick
plunge in the surf and boy, oh, the tropical waters
of the Pacific Islands.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I tell you, I for you others.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
It takes me back, it really does.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Okay, Well, what about why aren't you wearing your matching
shirt with us? It's really I just understand it is
so funny.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Because I had a T shirt underneath that, and when
we got to the airport after we'd done all the photos,
et cetera, I was actually getting hot, so I took
it off.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
So Jas would rather walk around with a Brook Fraser
T shirt, wear his cool Feejean shirit that we've all
got that are all matching.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, actually it was chafing my nipples. If I'm being honest,
I think it's the.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Material when you've got a T shirt.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Taking the T shirt off the ship back on. Pug's
wearing his.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
No, but he's not part of the big and also
he's going to count it out. He's not part of
the main big three who are broadcasting, and he'll be
taking photos of us, and you're gonna have a Brooke
Fraser T shirt on.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I tell you what, just for Keysy because he's so
wound up about it. I put it on for you, okay.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
I want you to look like you're part of the team,
enjoying yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
I know you're not, and I know you hate.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Us Keezy, Oh Godna. Since I got detained, well, Pugs
did nice, sort of held his hand through it. Just
need what I need to do is get the show
done and then I'll be chill.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
You've been pretty uptight to be feared, but a lot
of it is from a lack of food, which I
was suffering at the airport, and I was like, I'm
good at the moment, but if I don't eat, And
I just had in my mind that it was an
hour drive that we're going to have to endure while
also not long knowing how long we're going to have
to wait for you guys, two hours. I needed to
get some food to me, so I've eaten a I've

(03:56):
eaten two chicken raps from the local airport, and every
being you're gonna, I'm gonna, you know, something's going to
get terribly wrong with me. I'd be surprised they cooked
it fresh on the spot. Oh really, oh, you in
front of you, in front of me, and absolutely delicious.
The basutal you bought food I've ever had. But Kezy,
I saw you hit the wall with the food. It's
like you at that point you just need some food

(04:17):
in you.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I need food too.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
And then also I knew that because I was like, Okay,
we'll go get food and then we'll meet back up
with Pugs. So when it saw where Pugs while has
got on the Wi Fi so I could communicate, and
then Jace went one way, Mike went the other way,
and I was just like, I have no idea what's
going on.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I had no idea what was going on either. I
just went towards the ocean.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, you told us, Kezy, to go to a certain bar,
so we went there. We walked past Jason immediately and
we said we're going to that bar over there, and
and then you just wandered away from us.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, I was just checking out the beach. I mean,
we just arrived and I wanted to see what the
beach was like.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
And it's beautiful, by the way, is seriously jas No, seriously, no,
I'm being one hundred percent genuine, right, now we're going
to play golf tomorrow, right, Yes, we'll be Jesus's going
to wander off to the beach. Other than that, you
don't have to hang out with us. If you don't
like I'm being serious, you don't have You.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Tuned around and went back up the steps and said,
I'm just going to go and find pugs. Mogi and
his mates wandered off down our mates down the thing,
and I was like, oh, I'll just go and check
out the beach. That's all that happened there. Yeah, okay, jeez,
I feel really under attacking.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's not good. Is first day I've had to change
my clothes, the most stressed out we've ever been in.
Jason and I were having a yarn and we said
to ourself, Jesus, that's not bad. Is it as a job?
Actually no, it's great. We'll do us gppaciate it once
it's gone. Plenty of water to go under the bridge,
of course, But yeah, jeez, she's a she's a pretty
magic spot.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
The Whole Ucky Beach Show week days from four on
Radio Hururarchy. Remember the Wcky Big Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
You think that's a little swimming pool there, or is
that just decoration.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
That's decoration. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Ok so and just for the listeners to we over.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Your head, so I don't want you going in there.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah okay, well at least at least you can see
me from here. Fuck it in trouble.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's double over here on Jason. There are some floaties
we can use.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Phil.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I was going to ask you, what's just for the audience.
We're broadcasting from a conference room.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
So if it sounds echoe on now and also on
today's radio show, that's why.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's only because it's fucking super echo in here. In fact,
it's so echoe that as soon as we started, our
assistant that's been provided by the hotel here immediately bailed.
He'd heard enough, he's gone there. I think that was
the content. Yeah, that's part of it. This is how
echo it is. Ah yeah, yeah, So what's what's the
plan tonight? We're going to finish the show obviously around

(06:38):
about seven New Zealand time, which is spright now, and
I think that'll be probably happy. Yeah, what is the
plan given that we've got a round of golf tomorrow
and I understand it is going to get up to
thirty five degrees yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
So my strat is we go from here to get
my bag and I check into my hotel room.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, all of us need to do that.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
I didn't take a steamer, right, okay, because i didn't
get to take one this morning, and I've just been
waiting to take one.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
You were really hungry and you had a big steamer.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
It's a combination of many, many times.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
And then I will have a shower, not because I'm
doing a steamer, but just because I want to have
a shower.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's a tradition.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Actually, no, instead of doing that, I'll go for.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
A swim after your steamer. You should have a shower, fairs, No,
I need to go in the ocean. Then it's all good.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Well just let us know what, Paul, you're going to
be swimming in.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
That's all adults only. Yeah, yeah, And so that's what
I'll be doing. And then I'll probably have some sort
of late dinner at about eight or nine pm.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
What's it's almost all gone, man, do the show fiercely, yeah,
and then hang with the fellows, go for a walk
along the beach. It's beautiful that beach. Maybe maybe depending
on what the tides doing A little dep.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I wonder where the sun sets. I've got no idea where.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I have no idea either, but of an ocean swim,
see what the fellows are doing. Go from there.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, I'm not going to go for any walks. I
will walk to the pool, I will walk to the
bar well.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I mean, in fairness, the beach is like it's one
hundred meters away.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
But I don't want to walk like across the beach
and down around to see what's around that.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I just want to swim retails. I'm right there, to
be fair. Usually I'm not when I'm overseas somewhere else.
But because I've been to Fiji, I've been to this
resort before, and I just want two days of golf
and swimming and doing air.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
For great sweet air.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Is that so much is too.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Much to us? Man? On a scale of one to ten,
how purse are you going to get tonight? I think
it depends how the mood is after you've done your steamer,
doesn't it, and you share It'll be my.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Post steamer moude with one obviously being completely sober, ten
being muggy after one coconut.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I reckon, I'll be like an eight.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, I think we do need to get more drinks
in here. I'll say that.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Don't say that, then look at POGs.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
And I didn't. I did to. Keezy is trying to
get you to get drinks. This water's over there is
pointing at the waters.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I don't think that's what Maggie was talking about. Just quietly,
A couple of coconuts would be good.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
They are good. That was good. But yeah, just even
just a beer. You know, this is a cocab we've
ever done. Yeah, if we're going to have beers in Hocketziker,
it feels like we should be having them in Fishy Fishy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Man, No, but it is. It is a spectacular place.
It's a little bit it's a little bit like am
All with pools.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah. Look, I mean this is the sort of place
you could lift up into the air and drop on,
sort of any beautiful beach anywhere in the world. Certainly
not going to get much of a taste of the
local culture outside of the fact that everybody they hire
here is the friendliest person in the world. And I'm
not saying that all Fijians are friendly, but certainly the
people that they hire to come and talk to you

(10:00):
and work at these resorts. Certainly they're definitely the friendliest.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I was telling Mogi kezy there when I went down
by the beach, and they've got all those lovely setups
with the shady sort of what.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Do you call those?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
A little yeah, And I was sitting on one of
those and one of the staff came over and sat
next to mean he was like bully, and we had
a really lovely chat. He was so chill and he said, oh, well,
you know, just take your time, just breathe and enjoy
the ocean, and yeah, totally. But when he left and
then he said, and may God bless you on this

(10:32):
beautiful day.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
No over it because he just wanted to sit there alone.
And then straight away some bastard count up and wants
a chat.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
But it is beautiful, very lucky, indeed, team it is.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
And I guess what's a little bit weird is we're
now sitting in essentially a conference room that you would
find any framata or whatever you name it back in
New Zealand. So it's a little bit devoid of any
kind of personality at all. So this this is the
weirdest ob Yeah, we'll do.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
We're thinking of doing some Fiji potties too over the weekend,
just to keep you updated with our antics.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
We're gonna do that, probably from Pugs's room.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, so we'll get on.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
But it's just a bitch because he's going to leave
it all set.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Up right, right, right, right right.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I think we can pump out twenty eight twenty podcasts, Yeah,
I think so.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
I was thinking maybe a couple at twenty minutes long. Okay,
twenty three. Well, once I've had a few, I don't mind,
you know.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
So do them around breakfast because the way the guys
were doing over in Texas, they were doing it really hangover.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
They weren't doing it drunk. Yes, have you listened to
those keys. I've listened to all of them. But I'm
thinking I would rather be at the breakfast buffet and
then playing golf slash, going on a snorkel boat to yeah,
then doing a podcast.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Let's just flag it. This person took out of it.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, scapist swims.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I reckon, bit of fashion. I reckon.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
There's probably enough time on this podcast. I haven't been timing,
but I reckon that's a good amount.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Of it feels like it feels like forever. How long
is it, Jey, Twelve minutes too long, It's can you chop?

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Two minutes of being mean to Jayson chopped to two
minutes of.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Been passed off, Twelve minutes of Moggi's.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Slur that thanks for listening. Don't forget listening to the
Big Show four or seven weekdays and radio heard a
