Speaker 1 (00:00):
For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show Podcast,
get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, or
Raw Dog It, four to seven every weekday on Radio
Hodak here.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh, g'day fellas.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Backbone. Yeah, great stuff. How's second day, Keezy? Second day hangover.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Shit, sleep myself. Yeah, man.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, same, actually.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Same.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Terrible.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Same here. Well, if I could just talk about mine
for just one second. No, no, no. Why didn't you
get a load of this? Not for two seconds. There's
probably no point talking about yours, given how bad mine was. Jesus.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Mine was probably worse.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'll go second, and then we'll just let Jase go last,
because without a doubt. His was the worst.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So, couldn't go to sleep. Oh, cheesy. Was in bed
at nine, tossing and turning. You hadn't been tongue in
the bag, had you? What does that mean? Tonguing the bag?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
What does that mean? We can't get into it on here, man.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, it's... Come on, man.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Like... Shagging or something? No, not shagging. Something naughty, though?
Something naughty. Not sexual, though. Nah, not last night.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Finally got to sleep, started drifting to sleep like maybe 11.15,
so two hours a bit in bed. And then I
accidentally set an alarm for 11.55 p.m. instead of a.m.
today to buy tickets for the Waz. I set it
for just before midnight last night. And so that went
off just as I fell asleep. I went, fuck, turned
it off, and then couldn't go to sleep again for ages.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Right, okay. And then woke up really early. What took you,
like seven? Fucking annoying. No, it was like 6 a.m.
or some bullshit. On the day I turned my alarm
off and said, I'm just sleeping in, boom, up early. Shocking, man.
Saw the toxins in your body from the sausage fest.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, I think so. It takes a while to leach
out there, Keeley.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
How do I leach it quicker?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's just a time thing, man.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, just water, lemon juice, beating off.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Sweet. Well, tick, tick, tick. I've had one of those
things quite a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
And I am thirsty now. How? How tired are you, man?
How tired am I? Okay, then.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Well, I went to bed at about nine, so I
got six hours sleep. So I was awake at three, probably, 2.30, 2.30, because.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I was going to the gym this morning.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
So I set the alarm for quarter to six, 10
to six, because my brother-in-law's going to the gym, you see.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yes. And I'm fine.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
And if I don't go in the morning, then I find.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Excuses over the course of the day, and I just
don't go. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
I'm not back into my I'm loving it stage and
can't wait to go stage. So then I just sort
of was awake for.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
The rest of the night.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
I probably nodded off once and was dreaming about, I
was actually dreaming about coming up with an excuse for not.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Going to the gym.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh, really?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Did you come up with anything good? No, not good enough.
Ended up going to the gym.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Stink.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
So that was, and then the birds started, the fucking birds,
which I'll get into on the show.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
They actually start, I've noticed, at about three in the morning.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
They're fucking assholes.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's just unbelievable. I was up at three the other day.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
What are we doing? What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
And it was like birds at 3 a.m. in the
morning just tweeting away.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
A twit to woo.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I had a shocker too, fellas. Just drifting off. I
went to bed probably caught past 10.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Jeez, you're a night owl. I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And was really tired and was just drifting off. Yes.
And then my daughter came out of her room.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Ba-ba-bang!

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Da-doosh!

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Bang!

Speaker 5 (03:33):
And.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
And just walking out.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Just walking out.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, not doing anything.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
To the bathroom or whatever.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Not dragging a dead body or anything. Was it actually
that loud or was it like.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
She... It's like she's breaking out of prison.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Have you told her that? Well, she should be quieter. Yes,
all the time.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I say to her, can you maybe just try and
open your door a little more quietly?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, my brother-in-law's the same.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Just no sort of awareness.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
If he goes out to the gym, I love him,
great guy. He'll go out the door and he'll just
slam the door, which is right beside my bed, or
make no effort to close it quietly.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
And then heel, heel, heel, heel, heel, all the.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Way down the stairs. Heel, heel, heel, all the way
past our window on the deck. And then walk out
the gate and slam the gate and knock it off
at Tinger's.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Do you know what you guys should do? And then
shout out, see you later, bogey, from the footpath. It's
fucking six in the morning, man.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I know.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Carpet your houses, man. Carpet them up.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, I do have carpet in the apartment.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Carpet the outside, Keezy. What, down the hallway?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
But it turned out, it turned out, Keezy.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Keezy!

Speaker 5 (04:44):
You know how good the Hodaki Big Show podcast is?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, I love those fellas. Backbone.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, backbone. You get it.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
You've got to get around the live radio show. Oh, you?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
When's that?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Four to seven weekdays on Radio Hodaki and iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Backbone.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
The Hodaki Big Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
It turned out that my daughter had a shocking sleep
and she was up till like three or four in
the morning. In and out of her room.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Doing what?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
All fucking night. And I remember lying in bed at
one stage. I think it was about one or two
and just going, oh, for fuck's sake.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah. I get like that. You won't be surprised to learn, man.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then she'll hear me and slam her door because
she's pissed off with me because I'm pissed off.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
So what you said off for fuck's sake out loud.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
And then my wife wakes up and she's like, are
you all G? And I'm like, well, no.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Because you're waking her up now.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
And now she has to hear your bullshit.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
And now she's fuming. I'm living your life, man. We're
living each other's lives. I've been down this road.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
You guys should move in together. I tell you what,
at least we get a good night's sleep.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I think so. We'd be considerate, Keezy.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Exactly. A couple of backbones. I don't know. I do.
I don't know. Well, I do because we are annoyed
by the same things.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
We'd be smoking inside. That'd be day one. Do you
get pissed off by Jase's daughter? Well, I get pissed
off by people I live with. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And her door is right next to
our door.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
They didn't plan it well at all, did they, the
way out of that apartment?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
No.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Bedrooms right next to bedrooms. What's that about? Shocking. This
is all in front of Keezy. Keezy can't believe it.
Keezy will be you.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think I'll be more chilled.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
I know, that's what you think.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
She'll sleep till 12 or 1 the next day. I'm
up at like.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Quarter to 6 going effing and jeffing. I used to
be the chillest guy in the world, Keezy.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Really?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't believe that. 100%. Chillest guy in the world. Well, very,
very chill, but it takes the chill out of you, brother.
It's all in front of you, man. You think it's easy, man? Nah, chill, man.
You think it's easy? It's not. It's fatigue, Keezy.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Fatigue.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
But how are you in terms of, you know, your
second day there? You're looking a bit.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, you're looking pretty poked, man. Yeah, you're looking tight.
But it's chill because... What.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
About if we just drag your show, like, just annoying
little stuff like yesterday? Not dragging you, but just annoying things.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Like pull it together, Keezy.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, you pull yourself together. Never wanted to slap you more, Keezy. Well,
whatever makes the three hours go faster, to be honest.
I'm with you, man. We can do that every break
if you want.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I've got to get out early tonight. I've got to
play at nine o'clock.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Sweet. Do you actually ever play at nine? No, it's
at eight. Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
So we can still do a post-show meeting? Brainstorming for
tomorrow's show? Absolutely brainstorming. Brainstorming's on. Yeah, yeah. Of course.
Fuck yeah, baby. Tell you what, I watched the end
of a show last night at the Ahuja DJ.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yes. How good, eh? Alone.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
What a great show. Brilliant. One of the greatest. Yes.
What a joyous discovery that has been. Five buzzies.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Totally, man.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Really, that good. Up and down all day. Five buzzies.
I was in tears in the final episode. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Joy or?

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Oh, both.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Both. Okay. Very happy for someone, very sad for someone else. Yeah.
What a couple of absolute backbones. Absolutely. My favourites from
the start, the two of them.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yes, I agree.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Nem's being cheesy. Not like you and me. Not like
I'm Woody J. Kind of like Woody J.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, more like Jace. Yeah, like Jace. But I agree
with you. The two, they were both backbones.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Absolute backbones.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
And you sort of felt gutted for one of them.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Very, very much so.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, on the verge of dying and still like, I'm
not leaving here unless I get medically evacuated.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yes. Both of them. How many episodes is that season?
I think it was 13.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's not too bad.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You should watch it, Keith.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's so good.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's bloody great.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, unbelievable. But I am going to spoil it today.
I am going to say who won't.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, right. It's been out for over a year.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
That long, has it?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'd never heard of it. Oh, except for you going
on about it.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever talk about it.
And in fact, I'd say people would have just... heard
of it for the first time from our show.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, well, that's the thing.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Like, I ended up researching articles and following everybody on
old socials and YouTube and stuff. But there was obviously,
there was definitely media coverage of it at the time,
but I never saw it.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
No. No, same. But I'm going to be watching everything.
I think they're in the Arctic Circle.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
In this new one.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
And they've done Fiordland before.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
So I'm going to do the Fiordland one. It's all
good stuff. It's great stuff. I suppose it's like me
and my wife with....

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Location, location, location.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Amazing Race Australia, I was going to say. Yeah, right.
Love that show. Except you could die.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, but we don't need that. Yeah, you do, man.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
No.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, you do. I don't need people dying. It's pretty awesome.
And the woman in it was amazing as well.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
She was amazing.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Everything about it was great.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
And I felt, well.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
I'm shocked that she left.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, so was I. It was like, what?

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Because she was having a lovely time.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
She was.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
It was like she was dying.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Was in complete control. And it was like, you know,
I don't have any time for the people that go, oh,
I miss my family. It's like, fuck that shit, man.
Come on. You can go and see your family any time.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
You knew what you were there for, man.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
There was a guy that jumped out of the Acacia
after about a week and a half or something.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
He just started fixating on the fact that he didn't
have his kids with him or his missus, which seemed
to be just covering up the fact.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
That he couldn't get to his fish. Yeah, he couldn't
handle it. He couldn't handle the jandal.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
The jandal.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
And yet the possum hunter guy, Shea, who is– I
was looking him up. So he left school when he
was 16 and he went and lived in the bush
for the next four years.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
All four of his next birthdays were in the bush.
He would go into the bush and trap possums alone.
for anywhere between a minimum of two weeks up to
two months by himself.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
He's a great character. He is really a great character.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
He is one of the all-time great New Zealanders.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, he is.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
An absolute legend of a human. And my daughter loves him.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
When I'm watching Hunt for the Wilderpeople, I always think, yeah,
I'd love to go bush. But then the reality is
I'd be fucking hopeless.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, same.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
But I actually thought that that woman you were talking
about and Shay would have been a pretty good couple. Oh,
did you? Yeah, because she was like, her whole thing was, oh,
I want to have a baby.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
And I don't know that this is good for my
womanly sort of situation. But imagine those two together because
she was a backbone as well.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
She was, but he met his missus in the bush.
She was out trapping possums for two weeks by herself.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah. So she's a weapon as well.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And she is.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
There you go, eh?

Speaker 5 (11:46):
It's on TVNZ +. I'll be banging on about it
in the show as well. One of the greatest shows
ever made.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Should we go bush? So good. The big show, Go Bush. Yes.
If the bush is Waiheke Island.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I really want to go camping, but my wife is
not into it.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
But what kind of camping?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Like tenting.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Like in a tent. Obviously, but like top ten campground with.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
A little bar and a little restaurant. No, well, you know,
like just.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
That's what I'm going to do, Gizzy. Just a campground?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Well, you should. We've got a tent. Oh, have you
got a tent? I'll borrow your tent.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Can I borrow your tent?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I'm going to get a hell of a leather on it. Nah, well, gee, actually,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
You sure?

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
The idea of you guys trying to set it up
without fucking it is.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
I'm not going to try and fuck a tent.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I've seen you try and fuck more than that. I'm married, man.
Come on, man. It doesn't stop you in the past, man.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh, man.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Shocking, man. Disclaimer!

Speaker 4 (12:35):
