0:14Mike Minogue:Oh yeah, hey guys, text here from Steve. What's for tea New Zealand? With me, Keyzie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Now you're talking. I know, right? The segment where you text in on 3483 what you are having for dinner and then we read it out on the radio and you can get a$50 Reburger voucher. How bloody good. I can't believe no one's thought of this. Nobody ever has done this on radio. It's genius, Keezy. Thank you. It's also four years old now. Yeah, no one's getting sick of it. Nah, it's crazy. Doesn't age. Nah. G'day, guys. Russell here. It would be like saying, oh, we've been doing the news for four years.

0:59Mike Minogue:Exactly. You want to get rid of it. The news always changes. So does what's on the dinner kieszy. What's dinner news, isn't it? Russell Cootes. Russell, yeah, Cootes. No, sorry, it was Crow. Oh. Yeah, sorry. What? My mistake. G'day, guys. Russell Crowe here. Dinner tonight, sausage surprise.

1:15Keyzie:Well, I think that was very well-timed. Sausage surprise. I love sausage. I've got to be fair. I don't mind the saucy. Do you, mate? And a nice big thick bit of white bread, sauce, and musty.

1:29Mike Minogue:But I don't think that's a surprise. No. That's a sizzle. That's pretty standard. Yeah, that's a sausage sizzle. Yeah, yeah.

1:33Keyzie:But I mean, I was talking in general terms about your sausage. The thing I don't like about this is the surprise. Yeah.

1:40Mike Minogue:You want to know what you're getting. I want to know what I'm getting.

1:43Keyzie:Do you remember the old curried sausages? Yeah. Do you ever have back in our day? Yeah. I don't like it. Yeah, curried or a deviled is a similar thing, isn't it? Yes, yeah. Oh, slightly different. Well, curry is a... Foul. Foul. No, yummy. I like a deviled.

1:56Mike Minogue:Mama Kesey made a good curried sausage. Who? My mum, Mon. Yeah. She made a really good one. Doubt it. Hang on, man. G'day, guys. Trevor here. Gilmeister. Trevor Gilmeister. Yeah, Trevor Gilmeister. Trevor the axe. Yeah, the axe. G'day, guys. I'll be having beef and Guinness casserole on couscous, which is interesting. Oh, though, the couscous is a pasta. It's not as bad as a grain. I had the grain in my mind. Yeah, I'd give that a run. Were you thinking quinoa? Yeah, I'll be honest with you. I'd rather have it with a mash. Agreed. I'd have it with a mashed potato. Yes, I agree with that. Well, the kids are having baked beans for being fussy bastards.

2:43Mike Minogue:Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, good call. Good call. Yeah, and to be honest, baked beans are delicious.

2:47Keyzie:It is. Baked beans on toast. Nothing wrong with it.

2:49Mike Minogue:G'day, guys. Maddie here. M-A-D-I. Maddie. That doesn't sound like you're pronouncing that right. G'day guys, Mardi here Oh, Maddie Yeah, that's the one Maddie Linsami That's right, Maddie Linsami Yes, nice G'day guys, dinner tonight, chicken schnitty With some delish mash spuds and veggies, cheers She, oh Madeline Sami there She should give some of her spuds to old mate What was his name?

It was Samson and Delilah.

3:37Mike Minogue:Wow. G'day, guys. Curry pumpkin soup with a spicy pumpkin soup. Curry. That's all right. Yum. Delicious. It's pretty good, actually. Hang on. But I've never thought of doing this. Garlic naan on the side.

3:48Keyzie:Yeah, why not? That's good. Yeah, that's delicious. I like that. Is it creamy? I don't know. I put a cream in that. What kind of cream? Just cream. Jason, can I ask you about your, sorry to get away from what's happening over here with you, Keezy. It's okay, buddy. Your toasted sandwich last night. Oh, yeah. Thick white bread. Yes. Ham on the bone. Just chopped off, obviously. Your red onion. Oh. Your cheese. And then I had a little bit of the glaze left over. Yeah, yeah. Put that on there and some fresh chilli. Cooked it in the fry pan. Beautiful. Good eating. Use the lid there to make sure you're melting that cheese.

4:31No, no.

4:31Keyzie:I just put the spatula on top of it and then turn it over.

4:35Mike Minogue:Oh, so you did it on the fry pan rather than the toasty machine.

4:38Keyzie:Yeah, I don't have a toasty machine. I don't have a toasty machine. It was magnificent. Just the one? Yes. And cauliflower and cheese, you know, because we had that cauliflower. My wife turned that into cauliflower and cheese.

4:52Mike Minogue:How'd she do that? Put cheese in it. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

4:59Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Radiohead there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon, the time 4.39. Fellas, I don't know if I told you this, but yesterday I was very busy performing in a new role in a big feature film that's coming up. Oh, yeah. How good? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. I don't like to talk about it in case I get fired at some point during the process. Yeah, yeah. So I went out on set there and the director pulled me aside and the director is also the lead actor in this thing. So it's a very personal project. And in this particular film, I was going to be playing the spouse of this person.

5:44Mike Minogue:Right, so the director and lead character's spouse. Yeah, husband, I guess you could say. Yeah, yeah. And so a pivotal, very important role. Obviously, yeah. Very important. Anyway, so I read the script and reread it and still my lines and everything. You try and give yourself a little bit of a background. What sort of a person is this? And for me, it felt very much in the way that it was written that I knew the kind of character that this was and that this person would have a certain way of speaking. And I had it all sort of sorted out. Anyway, got there, got to set. We went inside into a different room just to run the lines and just to work through it.

6:20Now, I immediately went into my character, you know, just to give the director a taste of what was going to happen when we got on set. And the director immediately stopped the proceedings and just said, oh, no, no, no.

6:34Mike Minogue:Oh, like that? No, no, no, no. Not like that. Hmm. I just want you to just, like, just be you. Old Mogey. Yeah, yeah, okay. Old Mogey. Yeah, yeah. What you're doing there is, and I quote, interesting, and it is, I quote, an interesting idea, but I have no interest in that.

6:57Keyzie:Right, okay. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, it can be a fairly humbling experience, can't it? It certainly can, yeah. I mean, obviously honoured to be in there, Keezy, but just straight away you're on the back foot. Your confidence has taken a bit of a knock.

7:12Mike Minogue:Well, I find that certainly my very short, very brief foray into not landing any acting gigs, that the whole industry is built around just smashing and destroying your confidence. Yes, that's right. Or building it up before smashing it again. And then smash, yeah, yeah.

7:29Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why actors are such pieces of work. Tell me about it. Because they get smashed and smashed, and then they break through and they become full of themselves. That's right. So there's no in between. Yeah, that's right. And that's a facade, isn't it? Yes. Not unlike the sets that are made for movies where it's just the front. There's no actual, you know, if you're walking down the street, they'll have the facade, the face there of the building. There's nothing behind it.

7:59Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah. It's like when you're talking about being on Hunt for the Wilder People and you were waiting for Taika to give you some sort of feedback and you just said nothing. That's right. You're there like that made you uncomfortable as well and shared your confidence. So he's not talking to me. What's going on? That's right. When they do talk to you, they're like, not like that. I'm like, well, I don't want you to talk to me. If you're going to talk to me like that, I just want you to tell me that I rule. Yeah. Totally. Is that too hard?

8:24Keyzie:It's always a very nerve-wracking time when you're presenting your interpretation of the character to a director. You know what I mean? I can't say I've experienced what you've experienced, Maggie, because it's generally the feedback's been nailed it. Yes, that's exactly right.

8:44Mike Minogue:So they looked at you on Brokenwood and they were like, yeah, that's it. Totally, man, totally. Really?

8:48Keyzie:Crazy. Because that's not how I normally sound, of course, but I gave Ray from Brokenwood a certain, you know, je ne sais quoi. I, how do you say, I polished him up a bit.

9:01Mike Minogue:Yeah, you polished him up. Oh, yeah, did you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's good stuff. And so did you change it? Did you tweak it? Well, what I did was I just went back to being old mogie. Yeah, okay. And that was essentially what the person wanted in the first place. Yes. It was just, oh, I thought you'd be good. And so just probably imagined me just being myself, which means no acting required, which is actually the only thing I've ever been good at. Yeah. I've never actually been any good at acting. I'm only good at being myself. Well, you're very good at being you. And saying the words that somebody else has written.

9:32Now, if you want them to sound exactly like me, I can do that. Yes. Anything outside of that is probably outside of my capabilities and capacity as an actor. And even as I was saying it out loud to the director, I was thinking, Jesus, this is shit.

9:45Mike Minogue:Right. And you still won the Best Actor Award as well. Oh, holy, man. Oh, God, that was amazing, wasn't it? And rightly so. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I'll bring it in tomorrow, Keezy. You can get a photo with that little trophy. With your award. Wouldn't you, yeah? Yeah, that'd be nice. Okay. Jase, could you bring your one in as well? Yeah, sure, man. Here's Metallica. Oh, g'day, mate. Oh, hi, mate. Yeah. Look, if you want the chance to win all our on-air competitions and stuff and get amongst the live conversation, tune in to the Hauraki Big Show, four to seven weekdays on Radio Hauraki and iHeartRadio.

10:27Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

10:33Keyzie:Foo Fighters there on the Radio Hauraki big show this Thursday evening. Now, fellas, we haven't really gone into detail about your big date last night. The two of you met. You came up behind me in town while I was walking home with my skull candies on because you had a date in town apparently. That was quite interesting because we weren't trying to catch you up and, in fact, I didn't even know that you were in front of us until I nearly tripped over you.

10:57Mike Minogue:You know what's funny is I thought you were intentionally walking really fast to catch up to Jase. Yeah, no, I was just cold. That's just how you were cold. I was cold, yeah. And I'm a fast walker, Kezi. I walk, I don't mess around. So I've just seen how you walk now, Jase, but you left the studio about an hour before us. Yes, that's what surprised me. And I was like, hang about, how did that happen? You're only about 50 metres in front of us. But I did notice for every one stride of Mogey's, Jase had about seven. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he was making that noise when Fred Flintstone's bowling.

11:28Keyzie:Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, we hung out last night. It was a hell of a day. Yes. Well, as I said in the podcast, you know, in the disclaimer, when I came in today, Kesey had all the makings of a big night. Yeah, absolutely. He had the hooded eyes. He was a bit moody. His hair was all mussed up. Well, can I tell you, it was, you know, It took a bit of a range, and we got to the venue, and our name was on the door. It wasn't available for just anybody. Yeah, sure.

12:00Mike Minogue:You wouldn't have been able to go. You wouldn't have been able to go. Right, okay, yeah, no fair. So then we get in there, and I buy Keezy, because it felt like the right thing to do, because I chose the venue. Yeah. Bought him an espresso martini. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was very nice. Very nice.

12:13Keyzie:Did they have a bar in there, did they? Oh, yeah. Okay. Keezy moved on to the Rabbit Ranch, Pendant Noir.
