In short

The hosts banter about bad haircut photos, getting a haircut (including a joking “koala cut”/awkward barber contact), and then a long “sock and fashion” rant (white socks with dark shoes, ankle/mid socks with sneakers and shorts, and shirt-tucking). They also discuss talcum powder’s purpose for men (reducing moisture/sweat, preventing chafing/rash, foot care) and plug “The Big Show” on Radio Hauraki plus social media.

Guests

No guests appear; it’s a host-only episode featuring “Jase,” “Pugs,” “Keaton/Keezy,” and “Mogi” (mentioned as not present).

Key claims

Pugs posts unflattering photos; haircut took ~15 minutes; talcum powder helps prevent rash/chafing and is good for foot care.

Notable examples

Rodney Wayne haircut; “Parisian man” laughing at shorts + boat shoes + white socks; Michael Jackson sock exception.

0:00Keyzie:For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show podcast, get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok or Raw Dogget 4 to 7 every weekday on Radio Horeke. Oh g'day fellas!

0:17Mike Minogue:Backbone! Hello. Too loud man, people are going to be like riding the bus. Yeah man. And then they're going to come and fucking shit their pants at that.

0:25Keyzie:No they're not man, they're going to hear that and go, I'm ready, bring it. You're looking good, Jase, man. You cut. Yeah, thanks, man. Well, I've got to be honest with you. That photo that Pugs took of me yesterday. With your hat on. That he put on Instagram, knowing that it was a fucking horrendous photo of me. In fact, it was so horrendous when I got home last night, my wife said to me, that photo of you is fucking disgusting.

0:54Jason Hoyte:No, she didn't. Jase, she would never say that.

0:57Keyzie:And she would not say that to you. And I said to her, You're not lying, are you, Chase? I said, I know, right? Pug said, I know it is, and he posted it anyway.

1:07Jason Hoyte:And she said, that's hilarious from Pugs. He's the man.

1:11Keyzie:So what's the photo got to do with your new haircut?

1:14Jason Hoyte:Because you couldn't see your hair in that photo. Yeah, it was all honker.

1:16Keyzie:Well, you know, because I just thought I need to sharpen my... Even though I've been looking great, Pugs seems to have this thing at the moment where he tries to capture me in my worst... You know how people have bad sides?

1:29Mike Minogue:Do you ever think that potentially he tried to capture all three of us looking like shit? Did you see the second photo of me and Mogi? Yes. Or are you just looking at the, do you swipe straight to your one? You guys look hot, man. We look like idiots, man. It's what we do on the show. It's not about looking good on the show.

1:44Keyzie:Can I just clarify here? There's a difference between looking like an idiot and looking like a swamp beast. Swamp beast. You know what I'm saying? So that's what made you go get a haircut? No, it wasn't. I've been wanting to do it for ages. And this is the crazy thing because there's fucking barbershops everywhere and my wife's taken now to when we go on our walks everywhere. She'll go, ooh, barbershop. And I'm like, yes. And we'll keep walking. She'll go, ooh, barbershop.

2:14Jason Hoyte:Because she wants you to get a haircut.

2:15Keyzie:Right. Is that her way of communicating? No, because I go, as you would attest to, I go, oh, I need to get a haircut.

2:22Mike Minogue:Bang on about it and then not do anything.

2:24Keyzie:Yes. and so she'll go, barbershop. Just as if she's noticing.

2:30Jason Hoyte:She's not pointing it at you. She's giving you the chance to do it yourself.

2:33Keyzie:So ironically, she wasn't with me today, so I took the bull by the horns.

2:37Mike Minogue:AKA I went into a hairdresser. And got a haircut. I walked into a Rodney Wayne. Wow. And said, one cheesy haircut, please.

2:44Keyzie:I mean, it's skunks. It's skunks.

2:47Mike Minogue:One skunks cut, please.

2:48Keyzie:How much for a skunks cut? How long do your haircuts take? 25 minutes. Okay. 40. How long do you think mine took? 15. 10. Wow. That's pretty good. He was just douche, douche, douche, douche, douche, douche, douche, douche, douche.

3:03Mike Minogue:Did you say he had his testicles resting on your shoulder?

3:06Keyzie:And or cock. There was a moment and I don't want to, you know, it was just where he was pressed against me. I went, is this all G? I've never, ever had a man's cock.

3:20Mike Minogue:I'm not saying. Wait. pressed against me whilst getting a haircut. I've had that, but it was at home.

3:26Keyzie:A guy's cock pressed against you

3:28Mike Minogue:while he was giving you a haircut at home. Yeah. But you know what I mean? Like at a barber or a hairdresser, that's never happened to me ever.

3:34Keyzie:Yeah, it was just one of those moments, and it wasn't the whole time. It was just when he first started, and I was like, what the?

3:42Mike Minogue:If I would have said something, I would have been like, is that your junk on my shoulder, man?

3:46Keyzie:Can I clarify? Nice balls, man. Can you remove them? He did not have his junk on my shoulder. Where was it? That's exactly how you described it. No. Where was it? What is your problem?

3:55Mike Minogue:Was he doing that thing where he straddles you and cuts your hair while sort of like facing each other? So it was on your chest.

4:01Keyzie:It's called the koala cut, Keaton. Koala cut. So he's grabbing on. Or are you holding on to him? I'm holding on to him and he's just doing my sideburns.

4:09Mike Minogue:But how did he have his penis on your shoulder? Were you upside down?

4:12Keyzie:I never at any stage.

4:14Jason Hoyte:Was it so long that he was in front of you but then it went over your shoulder and around your neck?

4:17Keyzie:I never at any stage had he had his cock on my shoulder. Where was it? That was a classic Pugsun. Exaggeration. Sorry. Exaggeration. He said junk. You know why I know that's not true? Because I never say junk.

4:32Jason Hoyte:You absolutely did. Oh, bullshit, man. I was there in the office, man.

4:35Keyzie:I'm going to go you pretty soon, Pugsun. No, I'm waiting. Because Keezy and I, we're getting fired up, aren't we, Keezy?

4:40Mike Minogue:Well, I have noticed a thing in Pugs recently where you can't get a fucking answer. Here we go. You cannot get an answer out of him without waiting for the smartass comment first. Yeah. And then you have to wait for that. then you have to go okay cool can we do that now well them's the rules and then yesterday when I'm really like a wee bit frazzled after filming I came in and it happened I was just like I can't fucking do this right now I need a straight answer them's the rules brother hmm

5:04Keyzie:I actually find I actually find Pug sound really easy to work with right so I love how you I love how you go me and Keezy

5:13Mike Minogue:blah blah blah hey Keezy then Keezy says something and then you go actually I don't agree with that anymore alright

5:29Mike Minogue:Is it weird that I've got black socks with these white shoes? No, I find it weird.

5:34Jason Hoyte:It's not what I would choose, but it's not weird.

5:36Keyzie:No, I've accidentally done that. I've never been a big fan of white socks. What, the team? No. The national team? Just actual socks. Actually, my wife bought me some new socks. Should we have sock chat? There we go. You all get a geese?

5:51Mike Minogue:So you were wearing those while a man had his penis on your shoulder. What the fuck?

5:56Jason Hoyte:Oh, my God, they're cricket socks. Can you at least get them? They've got little cricket bats with a red cricket ball and wickets and little emblems all over them. That's very cute. They're cuter than normal. Usually you've got prawns or something on there. What have I got? I've just got your plain H &M jobs. Are you wearing your weird boat shoes? Nah, these are just my normal docks. Boat shoes was yesterday.

6:15Keyzie:Well, you see, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I find weird. White socks, black shoes. That was always a no-no. What are you, Michael Jackson? Unless you were Michael Jackson.

6:25Mike Minogue:Yes.

6:26Jason Hoyte:That was always the exception to the rule. That was always the weirdest thing about Michael Jackson was a sock choice.

6:33Keyzie:You know, back in my day, fellas, I tell you another weird thing that I find weird about fashion these days, and it's a summer fashion, and it's when dudes are wearing shorts and they wear the sort of ankle socks and sneakers. Back in my day, if you wore that, you'd be considered a massive geek. But now it's like.

6:53Mike Minogue:When you say ankle, so you can't see the sock?

6:55Keyzie:No, you can see the sock. The long sock. Yeah, well, not a long sock, but just up to your ankle. The mid. Yeah, mid. The mid. Sounds pretty mid. Sock, and they wear the sneakers. And back in the day, that would be like, what a dweeb. I feel like you're targeting that directly at me. I'm so confused. No, because I started doing it because everyone was wearing it. And I went, oh, okay, is that the sort of how people wear shorts now?

7:16Jason Hoyte:Can I clarify? So your problem is shorts combined with sporty-ish shoes and ankle socks. And long socks.

7:23Mike Minogue:But an ankle sock is a sock that stops and you can't see it.

7:26Jason Hoyte:What's the appropriate alternative that you would accept in any case? Well, no sock.

7:32Keyzie:No shows. Yeah, the no-show socks. That's an ankle sock. But what I mean is the sock that goes up the leg a bit.

7:39Jason Hoyte:Okay, so it's a sock issue.

7:40Mike Minogue:You know what I mean? It goes about that far above the shoe. And for the listeners, just for reference, he's holding his hands about a metre apart. You're describing wearing tights No You want me to go back to wearing shorts and tights But you know what I mean though, right? So they're wearing sneakers This length here, like that

7:57Keyzie:Yeah, yeah So that's bad or good?

8:00Mike Minogue:Bad when you're wearing shorts Yeah, but it's great with shorts It's really good with shorts, it's really comfortable I was in Paris, right? Oui, oui You simply must Oui, oui And I was walking down the street And I was wearing shorts with these shoes which are my boat shoes, my big New Balances, white and white socks. And as I was walking down the street, a Parisian man, famous for being very rude, looked down at my shoes, looked at me, and then started laughing as he walked past.

8:30Jason Hoyte:No fucking way.

8:31Mike Minogue:And he was wearing what I would describe as a pretty bland outfit. I was like, how dare you laugh at me? I'm not American. Like, laugh at the guys with fanny packs on, man.

8:40Keyzie:Like, don't laugh at me. You see, that's actually, that's the image it brings to mind, actually. an American tourist. Me with my floaters and my long socks. Not you specifically, but that kind of look. And it's the sort of look where you wear a belt on your shorts and your T-shirt tucked in. What's wrong with that? That's old school, isn't it? That's 80s. Yeah, it's heinous.

9:03Mike Minogue:Keezy's been tucking in his shirt a bit more lately. I noticed that. I tuck my shirt in with certain jackets and jean combos, but not all. Like, for example, this combo, shirt's out, man. Jase, have you ever thought about tucking a shirt in? I tuck my undershirt in. Yes, I do that too. My T-shirt. Yeah, like your singlet. What is an undershirt? My T-shirt. The shirt that you wear underneath. Do you do that? Like a singlet?

9:26Keyzie:Yes, because that way - So you put singlet and undies on every day? That way I keep the heat in my body, Kesey.

9:32Mike Minogue:I do that too. Because that's a very - My granddad, both of them, on both sides, used to go undies, but like Y-fronts. Singlet. Tucked in. tucked into the undies and then just a coating of talcum powder like a fish fillet that's about to be deep fried talcum powder all over bril cream in the hair bit of brute oh yeah brute and then down the old down the citizens club to pull in the case of one of my grandfathers

10:02Keyzie:I'm not familiar with the talcum I know what talcum powder is but why you do that I'm not sure yeah I don't get it either should we start talcum up? should that be a big show thing? What's the purpose? Well, we used to do that with the bubbers, you know, because it stops them getting rash, you know, nappy rash and shit. Because it dries out all the moisture.

10:21Mike Minogue:Why did men used to wear talcum?

10:25Keyzie:And the smell. I love the smell of talcum powder. Men used to wear talcum powder. Kind of soapy, perfumy. Talcum powder.

10:34Mike Minogue:Actually, this is a lot of stuff that you guys should consider. Reduces moisture and sweat. Yes, that's what I just said. I wasn't listening. Prevents chafing. I just said that too. Rash. I'm a massive fuckwit. Did you say that? No, I didn't. Aftershave, personal grooming and fragrance, and foot care. Good for foot care as well. Good stuff, mate. Thank you.

10:57Jason Hoyte:Hey, thanks. Hey, Mogi's not here. Oh, yeah, Mogi's not here. Now go. Listen to the big show, 4 to 7 weekdays on Radio Horaki. Thanks for listening. Lucky you want to be here, please, pugs. Go ahead and listen. you weren't going to want to go ahead and listen.
