Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from News Talks at.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be The Naked Sarmons have been instrumental in pushing pacifica
humor into the mainstream in New Zealand. You know, they
launched a new era of sort of popular culture in
New Zealand with bro Town and the smash Its on
his wedding. And after three decades of being in the business,
the lads are still not done. The Naked Salmons are
(00:33):
getting back together and returning to the stage for the
International Comedy Festival, and this morning we have piled as
many of them as we possibly could into the studio.
David Chimpale, Robbie and Mario Caldokoto, welcome to the show
to see you. I reckon, I reckon, I should say
is it? What did I say? I almost said, instead
(00:57):
of how you doing? I think this is We've set
a record for the most number of people squeezing into
the studio, so very impressive start. It is twenty seven
years since the Naked Salmon's first show. Twenty seven years,
so who has aged the best?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I put my money on date today.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't think so. I think I think it's simpells right,
because New LANs have this unique ability to always look
the same as sixteen as they will when they're sixty,
and Shampelle hasn't changed one iota.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
What is that about new.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Every morning, especially on these cold mornings. Oh yeah, put
to shine on.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So when I say twenty seven years, do you does
anyone have like a physical reaction where you go, that's
like that's a fair amount of time.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yeah. I mean, I suppose you don't think about it,
you know, in the twenty year one up to twenty
but looking back now, you go, holy cow, I've been
off these guys. I know these guys more than I
know my family. You know, my older brothers growing up.
I know these guys more. I've spent more time with
these guys than the eight brothers and sisters I have.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So it is that a good thing, Maria?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I actually think so.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Yeah, just to.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Be there when we all thoughts the long answer.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
But also one of those things like twenty seven Yes,
we only get reminded when we do things like this,
like we haven't been on stage for a very long time.
But it's just when we reconnect, it's just you know,
it's like, you know, old habits.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, right, and you kind of fall into ye fall
into See that's interesting because I wondered over that period
of time, like the world changes, people's lives change, you
sort of go off in disparate directions. Right, Have you
noticed that your respective senses of humor have changed?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Very much.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
So we're more low brown now than we ever have
been where we You know, those those kid jokes and
the ordering. You know, while I get the funnier they
seem to me, you know, there's a real depth to them.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now, explain that. So, so you mean like just like
just kind of knocking around immature jokes that you make
and as kids, all of a sudden, actually there's kind
of there's a purpose to it.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, there's there's something profound and their makeup and then
you go, wow, so that's what it's about. And then
then I started laughing. But le's only because you know,
I've got nothing else to think about.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Really, sometimes it sort of depends on context. Like you think,
when you're in other circles with other people and stuff,
you think you're you know, you've developed or you've evolved,
you know sort of thing. But then you come back
into the room of these guys and they're straight back to.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
See you think I'm all intellectual, I'm well rid it
comes down yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Walk into the same room together two minutes later.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So why what why do you why why do you
want to get together on stage again? Because you've had
so many different things that you have created and performed
in over the years as a group, but actually getting
on stage is not something you've done in a long time.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I think it's more a case of, like sometimes the
world needs a little reminder of the of being a
bit kinder to herself, of that there's something more beyond
the realm, And I find I think that's why we
(04:38):
sometimes get back together because sometimes I think people forget that,
you know, forget that they're alive and they're it's okay
to laugh and it's okay to own that laugh. Yeah,
you know, it's I think it's with comedy. What I'm
enjoying about comedy these times now is that people are
understanding that their laughter and the way they laugh is
(04:59):
ownership and it's a way of coping with things and
coping with you know, like issues. They're finding the world
and we're just adding a little reminder. Yeah, yeah, it's
okay to laugh, It's okay to be you. It's okay
to have those silly thoughts and and break out on
a big smile and laugh.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Plus, we got sick of Robbie hesling. About twice a
year Robbie put this message after seven years. We thought,
oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's getting.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
To my shock. To my shock, about two months ago
they I got a tics well on the group text,
I said, we're putting on a show. Seriously, we're putting
on the show.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
That made me laugh because normally yeah, man, I'm me
and I'm in Well, when are we doing it? When
we're doing it? Yeah, we're doing it?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Really?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Is there a group chat?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Ah, how good? Oh my gosh, to be a fly
on the wall on that group chat. Who's who's who?
Who posts the best content in the in the group chat?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I think it's pretty much even, is it? Like?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Is it you know the world can be a bit
sensitive about certain things these days. Is it one of
those group chats that you really don't want to be
leaked publicly because you guys will have all sorts of
questions that you have to answer.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Or yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It's all in the secret language of the naked. If
you can decode that, then then you were in.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Let's just say, I'm glad only theseus get to see what. Yeah, Rob,
we all have kids now, and our kids are always
you know, correcting us. We'll get told off by our
kids now. Yeah, give me an.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Example of your kids telling you off.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
No, it's it's example would be I would be stressing
about something my daughter say, Dad, stop, just absolutely stop.
Just think about it, like they are the adults now.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And my daughter, she's helping work on this thing by
the scenes, and we did this little segment for for
the social media and I did it and then she
turned around and said, no, no, grow up. And you know,
this is in front of everyone, and I'm going and
(07:22):
I'm standing there, going and looking at the others and
are just going.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Just serve some grow up muster?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So is that is that because you think that the
younger generations are a bit more, are a bit more precious,
or a bit more just a bit more.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I don't think they're precious. I think that they're I mean,
God bless them that they're navigating a world that goes
so fast that we never had to do and they
are understanding faster the context in which things can you know,
go off the wall and they understand that world and
you know, it's it's brilliant.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
But then why is the room always dirty? That's what
I don't get. Yes, but the room's always doing you.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, yeah. So Robbie White, why have you been why
have you been editating on the group chat? Is this
like a tax thing because you live in America? You
just you needed to get back to New Zealand something.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
I was doing it, I was doing it when I
was living Yeah, okay, yeah, but it's it's just the
fun I've had, you know since I joined. I forgot
what year I came. What year did I join the oh.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Early?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
About twenty four years?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Twenty four years, four years right? And I remember my
first time rehearsal with these guys. I couldn't It was
an ad workout, like I just lost it historically, laughing
the whole time. And I enjoy my time with the
boys on stage. The last show we did was in
my mind was go Home had a Ball. We had
a ball, So that for me it was selfishly, it
(09:02):
was just like I just want to hang around with
the boys. And do something great and hopefully make some
people happy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Is there any better feeling in the world than when
you've been with people and you actually notice, like physically
that your abs hurt from laughing.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
It was it was it bats and bats that's done
in you with Wellington.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's remarkable. So talk to us about the shaping of
the show. So, Dave, you said that your daughter has
been helping out a little bit, But how do you
guys actually go about like creating this, especially when like Robbie,
you've been living overseas but you're alsort in different areas
and things at the moment.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well, all we do is we we get together and
someone you know proposes an idea and then we just
start riffing on it. And normally the idea is about
something that either they just sort of find funny or
or maybe it's something socially that we that we we
care about, and we start riffing on it, and then
(09:58):
we start planning, and then we start arguing, and then
we have fights, and there you go back to make
it and then then we all make up, and then
we the next day we will end up on the
same fight again because we didn't really make up and.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Who do you normally.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Myself, myself, myself, yeah, gibus myself. Why lord am I here?
Why these guys trying?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Because it always ends up the same twenty seven years
and we've always had the same or a similar workflow.
And just to circle back to your question before, why
do we do this? The it has always been a
safe place for us, a happy place for us. And yeah,
you know, we've got to you know, we do different
things in our everyday lives, but when we get a
chance to come back together and play, we've we've loved
(10:49):
it every time. So we just dropped. We just dropped again.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I feel like one of the real pleasures of having
you guys get together and perform on stage now is
that the audience is going to be a mix of
people who remember twenty seven years ago, but also yeah,
but like, yeah, the kids all you know, they're going
to be this whole kind of new generation who will
be familiar with your work in different places, but but
(11:13):
probably you know, might not have seen you on stage
together before, which is like, that's so nice to think
that you've gotten kind of new minds to you.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
To corrupt.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, exactly, new minds corrupted.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah, yeah, so sorry, I was going to say, it's
definitely a thing. I've got a young sixteen year sixteen
year old who came and saw our last show for
the very first time he saw his dad on stage. Yeah,
and I feel like I've got I've got a bit
of credit in his you know that young mind. It
was this guy does that?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah? Another one? Did you do your kids find you funny?
That would they?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Man? This is that kids are a tough audience, These teens,
they're tough.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Man.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I actually think our humans. You know, he thinks, oh man,
you guys are so dry. But you know when I
watched when I watch a lot of uh comedy skits
on online, you know, half of those don't make me laugh.
Half of them do. So it's sort of like a
different structure of different folks type of thing at the moment.
(12:15):
But you know, sometimes he finds me funny, but a
lot of times he finds me Dad, that's so dry man,
you and your mates?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, that's the stage.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
What's what is the GenZ for? It's dry? Is it dry?
Is it is.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Just cr cringe? Cringe?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Is it cringe?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm told. Okay, so give us the pitch what can
we expect from the show?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Absolute rubbish? There you go, Oh what did I just say?
And what did I just experience? But what you'll get
is some some real joy, some real you know, stuff
to think about, and at the end of the day,
some real community.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Jack.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Once we finished the script, it'll be magical, nice.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And it'll be it'll be it'll be six or six
guys you know, in their later years, enjoying the opportunity
to play, to play together again on stage.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, that'll be.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
You know, this is that sense of play, really, that
that keeps us there for twenty seven years. It's like
whe're asking you go and just play. You know, too
too often you're so caught up with being serious said
or it's not that much play, you know, come play
with us. Yeah, but in a good way. Yeah, not
(13:46):
on a bad way. I don't we played with in
a bad way. On good play.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
There will be many shows and audiences will be looking
for this, especially in these trying times, So be looking
for confident security. We're all we can offer is danger.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And mystery. Well, yeah, that you guys are back on
stage together, it is fantastic news. And I know, I
know so many naked Salmon fans, whether they be fans
from way back twenty seven years ago or new fans,
will be thrilled to see you guys on stage. Thank
you so much for coming in, Thanks for having us

and things at the moment.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well, all we do is we we get together and
someone you know proposes an idea and then we just
start riffing on it. And normally the idea is about
something that either they just sort of find funny or
or maybe it's something socially that we that we we
care about, and we start riffing on it, and then
(09:58):
we start planning, and then we start arguing, and then
we have fights, and there you go back to make
it and then then we all make up, and then
we the next day we will end up on the
same fight again because we didn't really make up and.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Who do you normally.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Myself, myself, myself, yeah, gibus myself. Why lord am I here?
Why these guys trying?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Because it always ends up the same twenty seven years
and we've always had the same or a similar workflow.
And just to circle back to your question before, why
do we do this? The it has always been a
safe place for us, a happy place for us. And yeah,
you know, we've got to you know, we do different
things in our everyday lives, but when we get a
chance to come back together and play, we've we've loved
(10:49):
it every time. So we just dropped. We just dropped again.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I feel like one of the real pleasures of having
you guys get together and perform on stage now is
that the audience is going to be a mix of
people who remember twenty seven years ago, but also yeah,
but like, yeah, the kids all you know, they're going
to be this whole kind of new generation who will
be familiar with your work in different places, but but
(11:13):
probably you know, might not have seen you on stage
together before, which is like, that's so nice to think
that you've gotten kind of new minds to you.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
To corrupt.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, exactly, new minds corrupted.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah, yeah, so sorry, I was going to say, it's
definitely a thing. I've got a young sixteen year sixteen
year old who came and saw our last show for
the very first time he saw his dad on stage. Yeah,
and I feel like I've got I've got a bit
of credit in his you know that young mind. It
was this guy does that?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah? Another one? Did you do your kids find you funny?
That would they?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Man? This is that kids are a tough audience, These teens,
they're tough.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Man.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I actually think our humans. You know, he thinks, oh man,
you guys are so dry. But you know when I
watched when I watch a lot of uh comedy skits
on online, you know, half of those don't make me laugh.
Half of them do. So it's sort of like a
different structure of different folks type of thing at the moment.
(12:15):
But you know, sometimes he finds me funny, but a
lot of times he finds me Dad, that's so dry man,
you and your mates?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, that's the stage.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
What's what is the GenZ for? It's dry? Is it dry?
Is it is.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Just cr cringe? Cringe?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Is it cringe?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm told. Okay, so give us the pitch what can
we expect from the show?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Absolute rubbish? There you go, Oh what did I just say?
And what did I just experience? But what you'll get
is some some real joy, some real you know, stuff
to think about, and at the end of the day,
some real community.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Jack.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Once we finished the script, it'll be magical, nice.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And it'll be it'll be it'll be six or six
guys you know, in their later years, enjoying the opportunity
to play, to play together again on stage.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, that'll be.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
You know, this is that sense of play, really, that
that keeps us there for twenty seven years. It's like
whe're asking you go and just play. You know, too
too often you're so caught up with being serious said
or it's not that much play, you know, come play
with us. Yeah, but in a good way. Yeah, not
(13:46):
on a bad way. I don't we played with in
a bad way. On good play.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
There will be many shows and audiences will be looking
for this, especially in these trying times, So be looking
for confident security. We're all we can offer is danger.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And mystery. Well, yeah, that you guys are back on
stage together, it is fantastic news. And I know, I
know so many naked Salmon fans, whether they be fans
from way back twenty seven years ago or new fans,
will be thrilled to see you guys on stage. Thank
