In short

Summer wardrobe planning, focusing on men’s summer footwear and sock choices (ankle vs crew/invisible socks, jandals vs sneakers/boots), plus how outfits age and get mocked.

Guests

No named guests; the hosts are the “Big Show” crew: Mogie, Keezy (Keezy), Jase, and Pugs (Pugsan). They discuss personal style habits and past experiences (including Keezy’s Europe/Paris outfit and Mogie’s Vietnam slip-on “invisi” socks).

Key claims

Crew/invisible socks with shoes were once “dweeby,” but modern looks normalize longer/visible socks. Comfort and ankle support matter (jandals can hurt skinny, sore ankles). “Normal” T-shirt/jeans/boots won’t date.

Notable examples

Keezy’s white New Balance + white socks + shorts + summery button-up + hat/hoodie look; Mogie’s Vietnam slip-ons with invisible socks; Keezy’s current “floaters” and Pugs’s “most normal” outfit.

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

0:17Keyzie:Hello. Yeah, man. Good stuff. Have you seen Keyzie's outfit today, Mogie? No. It's quite, it's, it's, I don't know how to describe it, really.

0:31Have you seen Keezy's outfit, he says? Do you know what, Keezy? I don't blame you, man. This is what's wrong with men's fashion.

0:39Mike Minogue:What's up? I was having this conversation with my brother there, Luke. And below, I think below the knees, I think we're made to look like chumps. Sorry, is that what you took from looking at my outfit? I think and I know it's an accepted this is accepted how people wear things and young men and I say young men even though you're 35 these socks that get pulled halfway up the calf and with your shoes on whatever they are it looks fucking heinous and I'm in the same boat as you Kesey and I don't have a solution

1:17Keyzie:I I I think it looks cool I know it's a generational thing seriously Kesey it is because I'm with Mike in that and I Even though you guys are closer in age than me and Jase. In your 20s, when I was in my 20s and stuff, it was gender. To wear ankle socks with shoes would just be the biggest uncool thing you could do. And I have often been watching around summertime and I've gone, okay, so that's the look. And I've embraced it. I feel like a doofus. No, but I'm more inclined to do an ankle sock that you can't see than what the youth do, which is the socks pulled up halfway up the calf, or longer socks anyway.

1:58Keyzie:Yeah, yeah. But having said that, my weak zone, my real area of – It's between the ears. – is the ankle area. Excuse me. Allergic to talking shit. Just above that. My ankles are so skinny and my legs are so skinny. Paying a flune in adhestimates. I have embraced the fact that I look ludicrous. You love ankle socks so much you've got one around your dick. Yeah, it's not an ankle sock. It's a rugby sock that goes up to the knee.

2:36Mike Minogue:Anyway, so is it the shoes that you don't like?

2:41Keyzie:I'm not a big fan of the black shoes and white socks. No. It's not my look. But then again, like Mogi, I fully accept that that is the look these days. And who am I to disagree? I'm no fashion icon.

3:01Mike Minogue:You guys are looking at my Japan outfit. Where's your floaters? I'm not taking my floaters. Oh, really? Yeah. What happened? Because I'm taking one bag. So I've been told not to take a big bag, and I don't usually anyway. but I also want to save room for shopping. So these shoes, I've got some black comfortable shoes which I can go out for dinner in them and I can walk around everywhere with them. Put some jeans with these, it's fine. Whereas my floaters are too like, oh, look at me, I've got sneakers on. Yeah, they're pretty big.

3:31Keyzie:That's not what I was meaning. Where was it, Keezy, that it was somewhere over in Europe where you were wearing something and someone gave you the sort of up and down look? And laughed. And laughed. Was that Paris? And what were you wearing that day?

3:47Mike Minogue:I was wearing my floaters. Yeah. White socks, white New Balance sneakers, white socks, sort of halfway up the, or a third of the way up the leg there. Like greeny coloured shorts. Yes. And just a nice summery button-up shirt. And a Re-Burger hat and a black hoodie and some skinny jeans

4:11Keyzie:and some woman's boots, all right? It's funny, though. It's funny because, and I'm being absolutely genuine here. I'm just like Mogey in that sense of just going, God, back in my day, that would be considered the most geeky thing. Not you specifically here, but that look of ankle socks and shoes was like.

4:33Mike Minogue:Ankle socks are hidden socks. You're talking about like, what are they called? Socks you can't see. Are you talking about those? No, I'm talking about. They're not ankle socks. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, they're not ankle socks. Ankle socks are the ones that sit under the shoe and you can't see them. Oh, okay. The invisible bars. They only go up to your ankles. A crew sock.

4:51Keyzie:A crew sock, is that what they're called? Yeah. Because that's what I wore in Vietnam, my slip-ons. But they were very cool. But with ankle socks. I've been at a loss for years. The only thing I'm comfortable wearing, 100%, and I've been in this conversation this week, and I'm thinking, fuck me, here we go again. We're going into summer. Yes. I don't know what the fuck I'm wearing. And that's all I wear, but it's not practical. I can't be walking around business mogi wearing jandals.

5:18Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. You know how good the Hauraki Big Show podcast is? Yeah, I love those fellas. Backbone. Yeah, backbone, you get it. You've got to get around the live radio show. Oh, yeah, when's that? Four to seven weekdays on Radio Hauraki and iHeartRadio. Backbone. Nice The Hauraki Big Show Podcast Just quickly before we move on We're never moving on You're in Vietnam Yeah You're wearing shorts Yep And you had blue slip-on sketches Yeah With Invisi socks Yes Pugs just shook his head in Studio B Yeah, what? What was the shorts part of it? Just shorts Jeans shorts, tight jeans shorts No, they weren't tight See, that sounds more normal to me than this.

6:11Mike Minogue:So an invisible, like a blue slip-on sketcher and an invisible sock. Yeah. Funny, eh? Yeah. You were loving it. And you were there and you were loving it.

6:23Keyzie:Yeah, I was so loving it. I was loving it. And just quietly, I'm not taking any jit from Pugsan about shoes. No. No, of course not. Just between the three of us. No, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see the ones he got? Nah, it's... I mean, yeah, it's fine. Let me say his outfit today is the most normal and cool I've ever seen him look. Yeah, I agree. See, to me, he looks like he's at a truck stop. No, he looks like the man today. He's got a big, massive. He's got blue jeans. He's got some black jeans on, a good T-shirt, backbone. And he's got a big belt buckle. If you get some photos taken today, pugs, get them up on your Instagram.

6:59When you're trawling through it in 20 years, it will be the only photo you're not embarrassed of. 100%. Because all that shit you've been uploading the last five years, fucking embarrassing. Well, because it will date.

7:09Keyzie:But a T-shirt and jeans and boots don't date. I almost feel like this is a conversation we need to have on the show, the summer shoe dilemma. Well, I was just looking at it. I gave Pugs the eye. I was like, when you guys are gone next week, we'll go deep into it. Yeah, fair enough. Because it's great because of the age difference here between me and him. Yes. It's hard. But it's a problem I want to solve because I'm at a fucking loss every year. The issue that I have with your jandal, which I'm not massively opposed to. That might be the biggest swallow of all time. Is my ankles. I've said bigger.

7:47Keyzie:My ankles. What's that? I've got really fucked ankles. There's nothing wrong with your ankles. No, they are fucked. Can you show me one of them? And I get very sore ankles wearing jandals for some reason. Oh, do you? Because there's not enough support there for me. Thus, your suggestion.

8:04Mike Minogue:I'm just going to Google orthopedic jandals and see what comes up. Yeah, good stuff. But you're right, Jase. No, no, no.

8:12Keyzie:It's a weird one.

8:13Mike Minogue:It's a weird one. Dr. Archer's arch support sandals. Can we get a photo of Keezy today? Yeah. But not to put on. No, just to be like, is this? Yeah, well, we can put it on the story or we can, because I want to get in a, you know, a stylist person to talk to. and find out what's going on here. Yeah, that'd be a good shot. We've got to get to the bottom of it. Look at Keezy's lower half here. Well, you can do that for a while. Well, we might as well do the whole thing. I'm stoked with my new shoes, man. These are going to be great for walking around. But you were stoked with your floaters.

8:51Keyzie:You see, I look at those shoes. I don't know how much they cost, Keezy, and I don't want to begin to try. I'm going to get$110. But they look to me the sort of shoes that you could buy at the warehouse for$10. I mean that's just my opinion You could buy those shoes At the warehouse for 15 bucks Another year older Another year kinder

9:11Mike Minogue:This is such a good way to just like Hey all I'm saying Is that thing you've got there Looks like I could have got it for 10 bucks AKA it looks like shit But again

9:22Keyzie:I have no I have no Look at him loving it what's the word? Gravitas in this area. I have no bearing in this area. Experience. I'm not the one to be judging is what I'm saying. So you were saying. I'm just saying from my personal point of view.

9:42Mike Minogue:Point of view, which is looking up. Yes. Just quickly, you said back in the day, if I was wearing this kind of setup, which is a crew sock and a black sneaker, it would be really dweeby, right? Yes. But you were wearing like paisley this and a waistcoat and winkle pickers and had your own pool cue. And look fucking hot. You know what I mean?

10:04Keyzie:Like so. Well, funnily enough, you know, just on that, I've got two really high quality kind of paisley shirts. I know where I got them from, actually. They're brand new. No one in my family will let me wear them. Can you please wear one tomorrow? I actually kind of like them. I think they're pretty fucking cool. But my family's gone, oh, what's that shirt? And even my wife.

10:29Mike Minogue:What colour are they? Kind of

10:31Keyzie:No, they're a lot One's kind of light coloured and the other's kind of

10:37Mike Minogue:Oh, ew Like heaps of flowers and stuff on it Yeah Ew, no, those are gross Yeah Or like a real old one or something But like, ugh Yeah

10:47Keyzie:But I like them I like them

10:49Mike Minogue:Yeah, all I'm saying is from where I'm sitting That I could buy that shit for$5 From a$5 shop

10:55Keyzie:What I don't want you to do, Keezy What's that, man? is the hoity J where you are mocked so mercilessly for your shoes that you never wear them again. Is that what happened? I thought you just lost them or something.

11:08Mike Minogue:No, I remember he wears them on the weekends apparently. Weekends and – Evenings, mornings and – And special occasions, Bogie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that won't happen to me, Jase, because these are men's shoes. Okay? They're men's shoes. Wait, Jase, can you tell me what's happened to those boots?

11:21Keyzie:They're still in my wardrobe. Have they come out? Yes, I've worn them a couple of times. Why? No, because, well, I'll tell you why. Because they're actually really comfortable. Right. Weirdly, for being woman shoes.

11:33Mike Minogue:Are you in the I don't care what I look like as long as I'm comfortable phase, which is a good phase. No, he's not. No. Because if he was, he'd wear them in here. Yeah. Can you please wear them tomorrow with your Paisley shirt? And my direwolf shirt. And Mogi's going to wear his direwolf shirt, and Pugs is just going to wear what he's wearing now.

11:46Keyzie:Well, I'm filming tomorrow, so I might. Oh, yeah. I don't want to go on set looking like an absolute fuckwit.

11:56Mike Minogue:Put enough mustard on that That's good shit Listen to the big show Four to seven weekdays Radio Hodaki Oh god almighty
