he's got a brand new hairstyle.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Sebastian, welcome back. I want to bring up the hairstyle
because in my house, the low taper fade, the burst fade,
it's big. All the footy players are doing. What have
you got.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I've just got a low tight face. It's not on trend.
It's not like one of the training ones. I got
hodd your hair cut the other day and accidentally got
him a demerit at school because.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So his is like a low taper faide.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
And and you're not allowed to go to skin. I
didn't know because for me, it's just like it's it's
not like a high zero or anything.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It was like I thought it looked hang on, who
is it?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's Timbo'd on the tequila again.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, go away.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I went to the head dresser the other day and
I said, hey, kid, this is on the holidays. I said, kids,
you choose the haircut and then we get a low
tape of faith.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh, and the.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hairdresser turned to me, and he went, I can't do it, mate,
I can't do.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It on you. I will not do it on you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's like a doctor saying I will not perform that
cosmetic operation because you're not meant to have a tail.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You think that was he was caring about you. He
didn't care about you. It was his own artistic integrity.
I did not want you walking around town telling everybody,
and then next minute there will be all these middle
aged blokes gone to him. Yeah, it's trying to stay
hip and fresh and relevant. That's me and that'll be
(01:37):
his market.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Well, the kids, the kids, the kids.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Going with their favorite sporting star, and I say, I
want these Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the big one, but
went in with a.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Photo of Guy Grossi and got it perfectly.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
As a kid, I always wanted to look like Grant
Kenny really And then I met him a while ago
and I said, I always wanted to look like you.
I was a great and he said, I bet your
bloody don't want to Now.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Things have changed a bit during the athletic years.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yes, mate, I thought that phone call may have been
from your mum.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Guy.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
It is a special day this Sunday. Yes, have you
even thought about that yet? Have you got mum something
or all the boys got together?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, we haven't done that yet. No, Jeel's been away.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So I've been solo daddy in for a week and and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's really hard. It is hard, hard.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, I'm no good at it. She's incredible, She's an
incredible mother. And I think she's strategically went away. She
went away with another mum as well, and the other
mum has four kids, and I reckon it was strategic.
They went, you know what, every Mother's Day nothing, we
get nothing, we get.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Rubbish flowers, rubbish cards.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Let's make them miss us right before Mother's Day and
then see what they'll buy us.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And they've done that.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I've been juggling school pickups and everything else.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Like what's an for you?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I get it?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Nothing? What you're thinking, right, not exactly what do I
get out of this? Nothing? I'm driving them to their training,
to their tutoring.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Man, Well, you're about to go overseas, aren't you got
some festivals in the UK Europe?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So you so jewels will have to look.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
At that's the balances.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh yeah, no, no, no, she does it all the time,
Like I go working mate, Oh, it's tough. You're flat
out do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The green room I'm on stage.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It does make honest to God though, it makes you
appreciate them even more because like it's the mount that jewels,
juggles and then works like around the clock.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
She's she's I'm very lucky, very lucky.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Can we talk about the new song maybe, because there's
some great lyrics in there, one of them that I love.
I know they say that good things come to those
who wait. Why would I want good if I got great,
very good, really good?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Caw?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Quickly?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Did you write this?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
This one was quick? I think it was fifteen or
twenty minutes the actual song was done. I'll often work
backwards so that lyric is actually I worked backwards from
that lyric, and.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's often how in the States.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Was the main lyric?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Was it? Well? Maybe is the title?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And so basically just saying like I've got this thing,
and I normally am reserved normally will you know, like
suss out the options and really do a wreckie on
the situation, but this one is so good you sometimes
you just got to pounce And I'm not going to
leave it up to maybe what is why settle.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Build this into a song Good is the Enemy of Great? Well, yeah,
there's a song in that.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Maybe that's pretty much that pretty much is this song?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, that's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Supporting the lyrics. It's just I'm not saying that I'm copying.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
We've been doing this for close to third Guys don't have.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
To one up in mat but Guy would understand in
our relationship. Sometimes I'll call Guy or a polym acide
and or Whispering is here and I'll just coach a
bit on the side.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, I'm an assistance, but this gives me an insight
because you know, you've worked with a lot of personalities.
When your songwrinning, you're co writing, so in a room
with a whole bunch of different people, you're one of
those people that won't come up with the idea but
will want to modify.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It yeah, and then claim it yeah, and then claim it.
So so I will sing that why would.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Im good if I And then you'd be like, oh,
what about how good is the enemy of greed? And
everyone in the room will be like they know it's
a terrible option, but they'll be like, yeah, that's yeah, Yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We might try something. I think that we got better
in us.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Do you know what I would love to know because
we're going to play You're going to play the guitar
for us this morning. But I also want to ask,
when you're in a writer's group like that and it's
exactly right, when we doing something here and it's crap,
someone to go.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I reckon, You've got a better one on you.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
What do you say in a group session to give
feedback when someone says I think this is awesome and
then you.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Know it's crap.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
There is so there's so many Honestly, I say, you
know what, write it down? Yeah, write it down. That's
such a good option. But I'll always say option. But
to make sure they know there's.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
This is the Fits with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Hey do you know how we're got to bring this
up with you? We had Maggie Dent on the show
the other day. Now you've just done Maggie's podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I just did it. Yes, tell us about the story.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
What happened when you went fishing with yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
This was a bit of a shameful dad moment. So
my my little boy loves fishing. I took him the
other day actually, and he just loves it. So I was,
I was down the south coast. I've got this little tinny,
it's very small. We've got this like seven or eight
horse power mode on the back, and it's easy because
I can just put it pull it in with one hand.
And we fished literally just probably fifty meters, you know,
(07:11):
get past the waves and stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Then and then I'm in my little.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Squid spot and we're catching squid and it's a great time.
So he's pumped, and there's a little bit of swell
that day, and so I knew we might get a
little bit wet on the way out, you know, just
kind of going over a few ways. And anyway, so
I've got in the boat. How he's in the back,
I know, how he's in the front. I'm at the
back steering. You know what those the tiller steers, You've
got the handle, And so I take it over this
(07:37):
one wave. But the wave got a little big on
me and the boat dropped hard and it's sort of
like made me slip and the tiller steer I've slipped,
and then the motors kind of like turn at a
pretty extreme acle where the boat just started doing these
really fast like nuts doughnuts, and I have literally fallen
(07:59):
out the boat and then I'm thinking I'm going to
get hit by the propeller. So I've just swam away
a little bit and I'm just looking at my child
still on the boat, thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What am I going to do? And he's just going
what do we do? What do we do?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And I tried to like jump on a couple of times,
but then I'm going, oh, that moment, the prop's going
to hit me and cut me, like, so I'm trying
to like stay out of the way of the proper
the cutting me.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So I'm doing these little like like swimming away, then.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Swimming in trying to get on. Couldn't not missed it.
And he's freaking out and he's going, I'm going to
jump on. I said, do not jump off. Do not
jump off, because I'm thinking he's going to get hit,
of course. And then eventually I've somehow like got jumped
onto the back and just ripped the little that there's
a cord that what's it called the key the.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Kill switch that's the thing, and it stopped.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
And then I've just I've looked back and I'm probably
only twenty meters from the beach on a packed like
Easter or some big and people are kissing themselves because
I'm so confidently backed up this little.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah and knowing you're going to go through the waves
fifty Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
If guys Sebastian started an only fans page for content
that hasn't been released and that was filmed, I'd pay
for ninety five. That would be fantastic to see.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm not ruling it out. Very up and down industry.
You never know what I resort to at the bottom
of the valley.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
How did you it was?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
This?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Your film dab as well Hindi Inindy.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
We need to talk about this because, yeah, have you
ever been in a movie before that?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Have you done any roles?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No? No, No, this was like a proper like I
had to play a character.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think I was all right, Yeah, I think I
honestly think I was, Like I took it very seriously.
Like we've all got mates who are actors, right, and
you interview them and so you you've got an immediate
respect for their craft because you know how seriously they
take it. But you don't know how difficult it is
until you're actually playing a character. So he's a director
and a writer that's created this character. They you know,
(10:15):
they they've they've dreamt this person up and then there's
a whole story and they in their mind they've got
it being played out in a certain way and it's
your job to do that.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But what I didn't realize.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Because you know, I watch stuff brand there's the David
brand Ye one of the fin but there's there's like
people who blow up and you'll see these nip like
leaked footage of Colin Farrell.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And all these people that was just blow up on seating.
You walked in my shot.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And you're like carry on mate, Like just it's just
like do you think they're massive divas? But I actually
I really get it now, Like I think the challenge
the most challenging part was it was my first movie role.
I had to talk in an accent like this as well.
So I'm playing I'm playing this character who's so my
son is like he's battling with trying.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
To learn the Hindi language. Yes, and he's my son.
And initially they wanted.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Me to be this real AUSSI Oka dad, right, and
they're like, yeah, and your son, he don't worry. He's
got an accent coach. He's in India, he's an Indian actor,
but he's got an accent coach.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And I was like, hang on, how do you do that?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I was like, guys like OSSI accent is really difficult,
Like how's he going with it? Because I can't just
be this oka Aussie dad if my son is like
you know, like it's And so they played me his
last rehearsal He's last year, a little session with the
accent guy and.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was not very ausy, and so I was like,
I'm going to have like I'll have We've got to
modify it. I'll speak in an accent.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But in mid mid scene, you know this crew and
this people coming up, all the directors are actually bringing
like you know, friends, like are asking the directors because
it's so nice that directors. So they're going, oh, can
I meet the restaurant owner that we're filming? Can meet guys?
From mid mid scene, mid shot, it's like all right,
cut and then people are coming and asking me to
(12:16):
post photos. But then like say, oh the Memphis album.
I really enjoyed that, and I'm like, yeah, it was
awesome made, it was awesome working with Steve Cropper, like
it was really good all right action here, you know,
I really dawn think that. I was like flicking back
and forth between like guys and James and that, but
I got it.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Why people, it's so difficult to remain in character and believe.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
In in the scene and be in it. It's so
easy to get from I met Kate Richie once and
it was amazing to talk to her, but she.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
One of the worst. Nice Sebastian, Thank you, buddy. The
new single is maybe we loved it. We're loving it
here at NOV made. It's fantastic to say for playing
it ways, buddy, Thanks for coming out all the way.

I can just put it pull it in with one hand.
And we fished literally just probably fifty meters, you know,
(07:11):
get past the waves and stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Then and then I'm in my little.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Squid spot and we're catching squid and it's a great time.
So he's pumped, and there's a little bit of swell
that day, and so I knew we might get a
little bit wet on the way out, you know, just
kind of going over a few ways. And anyway, so
I've got in the boat. How he's in the back,
I know, how he's in the front. I'm at the
back steering. You know what those the tiller steers, You've
got the handle, And so I take it over this
(07:37):
one wave. But the wave got a little big on
me and the boat dropped hard and it's sort of
like made me slip and the tiller steer I've slipped,
and then the motors kind of like turn at a
pretty extreme acle where the boat just started doing these
really fast like nuts doughnuts, and I have literally fallen
(07:59):
out the boat and then I'm thinking I'm going to
get hit by the propeller. So I've just swam away
a little bit and I'm just looking at my child
still on the boat, thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What am I going to do? And he's just going
what do we do? What do we do?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And I tried to like jump on a couple of times,
but then I'm going, oh, that moment, the prop's going
to hit me and cut me, like, so I'm trying
to like stay out of the way of the proper
the cutting me.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So I'm doing these little like like swimming away, then.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Swimming in trying to get on. Couldn't not missed it.
And he's freaking out and he's going, I'm going to
jump on. I said, do not jump off. Do not
jump off, because I'm thinking he's going to get hit,
of course. And then eventually I've somehow like got jumped
onto the back and just ripped the little that there's
a cord that what's it called the key the.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Kill switch that's the thing, and it stopped.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
And then I've just I've looked back and I'm probably
only twenty meters from the beach on a packed like
Easter or some big and people are kissing themselves because
I'm so confidently backed up this little.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah and knowing you're going to go through the waves
fifty Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
If guys Sebastian started an only fans page for content
that hasn't been released and that was filmed, I'd pay
for ninety five. That would be fantastic to see.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm not ruling it out. Very up and down industry.
You never know what I resort to at the bottom
of the valley.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
How did you it was?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
This?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Your film dab as well Hindi Inindy.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
We need to talk about this because, yeah, have you
ever been in a movie before that?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Have you done any roles?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No? No, No, this was like a proper like I
had to play a character.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think I was all right, Yeah, I think I
honestly think I was, Like I took it very seriously.
Like we've all got mates who are actors, right, and
you interview them and so you you've got an immediate
respect for their craft because you know how seriously they
take it. But you don't know how difficult it is
until you're actually playing a character. So he's a director
and a writer that's created this character. They you know,
(10:15):
they they've they've dreamt this person up and then there's
a whole story and they in their mind they've got
it being played out in a certain way and it's
your job to do that.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But what I didn't realize.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Because you know, I watch stuff brand there's the David
brand Ye one of the fin but there's there's like
people who blow up and you'll see these nip like
leaked footage of Colin Farrell.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And all these people that was just blow up on seating.
You walked in my shot.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And you're like carry on mate, Like just it's just
like do you think they're massive divas? But I actually
I really get it now, Like I think the challenge
the most challenging part was it was my first movie role.
I had to talk in an accent like this as well.
So I'm playing I'm playing this character who's so my
son is like he's battling with trying.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
To learn the Hindi language. Yes, and he's my son.
And initially they wanted.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Me to be this real AUSSI Oka dad, right, and
they're like, yeah, and your son, he don't worry. He's
got an accent coach. He's in India, he's an Indian actor,
but he's got an accent coach.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And I was like, hang on, how do you do that?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I was like, guys like OSSI accent is really difficult,
Like how's he going with it? Because I can't just
be this oka Aussie dad if my son is like
you know, like it's And so they played me his
last rehearsal He's last year, a little session with the
accent guy and.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was not very ausy, and so I was like,
I'm going to have like I'll have We've got to
modify it. I'll speak in an accent.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But in mid mid scene, you know this crew and
this people coming up, all the directors are actually bringing
like you know, friends, like are asking the directors because
it's so nice that directors. So they're going, oh, can
I meet the restaurant owner that we're filming? Can meet guys?
From mid mid scene, mid shot, it's like all right,
cut and then people are coming and asking me to
(12:16):
post photos. But then like say, oh the Memphis album.
I really enjoyed that, and I'm like, yeah, it was
awesome made, it was awesome working with Steve Cropper, like
it was really good all right action here, you know,
I really dawn think that. I was like flicking back
and forth between like guys and James and that, but
I got it.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Why people, it's so difficult to remain in character and believe.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
In in the scene and be in it. It's so
easy to get from I met Kate Richie once and
it was amazing to talk to her, but she.
Speaker 2 (12:52):

new single is maybe we loved it. We're loving it
here at NOV made. It's fantastic to say for playing
