THE DISCLAIMER: Waiting For Keyzie

0:00For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show podcast, get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok or Raw Doggett. 4 to 7 every weekday on Radio Hurt Aircast.

0:14Keyzie:Oh, g'day fellas. Hello. What time do you call this, Keezy? Yeah, you fucker.

0:20Mike Minogue:I'm sorry, I got a call from a real estate agent, man. I had to chat to them.

0:23Keyzie:Oh, a real estate agent.

0:26Mike Minogue:Yeah. What the hell is that supposed to be? A likely story.

0:28Keyzie:Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. It doesn't mean anything. And then an old Moogie and I just sitting in here for 25 minutes waiting for old Keezy.

0:37Mike Minogue:Fuck you, exaggerate, 25 minutes.

0:39Keyzie:And then it was, oh, and then because Moogie was fuming. He was filthy. And I said, just easy on there on old Keezy, old Moogie. And then anyway. That's why he's the first one to bring it up. And anyway, so you start walking towards the studio. It's all good, Moogie. Here comes Keezy. And then he pointed, and I did the shoulder thing. What's going on, Keezy? And he pointed at his coffee cup and went, I've got to go across the road and get a coffee.

1:08Mike Minogue:Across the road. I love the mail story.

1:11Keyzie:And then another 15 minutes. Boom. 40 minutes waiting for Keezy to do the disclaimer. Waiting for Keezy. But you're here now. That's true, Keezy. It's good over a play.

1:19Mike Minogue:Yeah, man. Waiting for Goddard? No, Goddard. Goddard. Goddard. Come on, man. Oh, drama. mistake, you keasy idiot. You should know that. Jean-Luc Goddard. Is that his name? Good play, that. Waiting for Goddard. Not the one I saw. It depends who's performing it, obviously. Sir Ian McKellen. Oh, really? It might have been Sir Ian McKellen. I feel like it was Patrick Stewart. I feel like I've heard about that. I saw it. Heavy hitters. Huge. And it wasn't very good. And old mate, the guy that was the host of Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be Sir Elton John. Stars and Rides. Matthew something or other.

2:04And I didn't realise he was an actor. Big bearded fucker he is. And the problem that I had with it is I wish I had known more about the play when I went. Yes. Because I've spoken about this before. But it took me about over half of the play to realise, Scotto's not going to turn up, is he? Yeah. It's just these two fucks sitting on a bench. And what do they chat about?

2:29Mike Minogue:Is it interesting? Well, I was kind of waiting for Goddard. Where's Goddard? Yeah, where's old Goddard? I can't remember, to be honest, Kuzi. No, maybe now, but when I saw it, what was that? It would have been in my early 20s. Oh, mid to late 20s.

2:47Keyzie:I've got a funny feeling, Moggy, that my wife saw the same play. Right. With the same actors. Yeah, yeah. Who did you go? Or someone I know, dude. I can't remember, actually. It might have been Jace's wife. Oh. But I didn't know Jace then, which is about right. Yeah, but you might have known. Yeah, I can't remember who I went, but I remember the theatre in Wellington and all that sort of stuff, but I remember being over it.

3:10Mike Minogue:Yeah, theatre. I went over it. Theatre, not. Oh, no, the last show I saw was your wife's play. No, theatre's generally great. That one I didn't like. Yeah. And it's also a classic, which, again, makes it tricky. That's what I was going to say. It's like the classic ones where you're like, you know, you've heard the name quite a few times, and then you go watch it, and then it obviously was important when it came out and led to modern theatre. But when I watch it, I'm like, oh, my God, this is so confusing.

3:35Keyzie:Well, having said that, talking about the classics, the last play I went to of you from the bridge. Yeah. Which was fucking amazing. Yes. Really good. Yeah, but would I like it, though? Yeah, I think you would have, Kesey. Seriously, it's a very good play. Very good. It was very well done. Very well done. And it's always a good sign because the night we went, there was a school there of, you know, late teens, up in the upper echelons. Like a drama class. Drama class, maybe, very well. But they loved it. They were yellerin', hollerin'. Were they yahooin'? Yellerin'? Yellerin'. Yeah, they were massively invested.

4:08Keyzie:Oh, that's great. There were gasps and tears. There is a gasp-worthy play, isn't it? It is. There's certain moments in the play you go, oh. The Horaki Beach 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, you win's that. Four to seven weekdays on Radio Hauraki and iHeartRadio. Backbone. Nice.

4:42Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show podcast. What's the style of theatre called where you're supposed to make all those noise? Like, oh. Pantomime. He's behind you. Yes, he's behind you. Have you ever done pantomime?

4:54Keyzie:I have done a pantomime. We're in some paranormal as a pantomime. It's Sugar and Spice with Michael Hurst. Oh, yes. Can't remember the name of it.

5:02Mike Minogue:Right, so what was the – you were playing and then the audience – We weren't being Sugar and Spice. We were being actors. You and Johnny. Yeah, me and Johnny. And so what was the story of the pantomime?

5:12Keyzie:I can't even remember, to be honest. I can't remember. But it was all of that. It was, he's behind you. What? And I was like, could you shut the fuck up? We're doing a play.

5:23Mike Minogue:Yeah. That would be funny, a pantomime where you keep telling them to shut up. Where the audience is in a pantomime but the cast is not.

5:32Keyzie:And I've told you guys this story before and I won't say it again on air, but just before we opened the opening show for that play, one of the cast members just lost the plot completely and just shat on everyone and everyone just went, oh. Said everyone was shit. Just was not happy. And this was literally half an hour before we opened our first show.

5:59Mike Minogue:Yeah, right.

5:59Keyzie:And it was like, oh, that's a real downer. Did you crush it though, man? Yeah, we did. A pantomime is quite fun. Is it for kids? Oh, it's for kids and adults. Basically, yeah, kids love it. You'd do a little red riding hood, wouldn't you? Christmas specials are big. I'm trying to think what it was, actually. But anyway.

6:17Mike Minogue:But if I'm an adult and I'm at the theatre and it's just like, has anyone seen the big bad wolf? And then I'm not going to go, he's behind you. You do, though. You get into it. Do you remember the one on extras where Ricky Gervais is a genie? Yes. A gay genie. That is so funny. I have cried many tears laughing at him in that scene where he's on stage. Well, actually, the whole thing is absolutely out of the gate. Yeah. There's a guy that directs it who's homosexual. He used to be in a marriage. Yeah. But he's realised after all this time that he's actually gay and he is absolutely loving his time as a gay fellow.

6:56Fuck yeah, and he's such a good actor.

6:57Mike Minogue:He appears in other stuff and he's very good. I think that might be the funniest half hour of television I've ever seen. In terms of just like cry laugh after cry laugh after cry laugh. If people listening haven't seen extras, it is in my opinion Gervais' best show The Office is amazing and what it led to but I can watch the whole of Extras all in a row I can't watch too much Office Yeah well that's right though we were talking about it here you have your thing that you think might be the best movie ever but you don't necessarily want to watch it. There's rewatchables you want to watch heaps

7:32Keyzie:It's reminding me of of the scene in Blades of Glory where where he goes and does on the ice, you know, the creatures. It's a winter wonderland with Wilfield. And he's just massively steamed. And he throws up in his suit. Oh, yeah, inside the head.

7:58Mike Minogue:Good stuff. Very good. Extras when, like, Patrick Stewart's in it. Yes. And he keeps trying to write a play about a guy who can make women's clothes just fall off. Yeah, that's right. So Ian McKellen's in it. He's talking about, he's explaining how he became Gandalf. And he's like, I wasn't actually being the wizard. I was pretending to be. Those words were written down. I just learned them. I just learned them. It's so funny. And then Daniel Radcliffe, who keeps trying to, he's still a teenager. He's trying to hook into. He's trying to, he's hitting on everyone. He's only like 14. It is so funny.

8:28Mike Minogue:Very, very good. It's a brilliant TV show, yeah.

8:30Keyzie:Very, very good. Am I without another watch, actually?

8:33Mike Minogue:Oh, it's brilliant. It's his best. And then the sitcom, not sitcom. Oh, come on.

8:39Keyzie:He's got, disclaimer.

8:40Mike Minogue:The sitcom that he lands in it, which has got all the punchlines and stuff in the laugh track, and he hates it. And David Bowie's in it and writes a song about him. It's fucking brilliant.

8:50Keyzie:It is. Oh, as a fat bastard. Happy little fat man.

8:54Mike Minogue:And I remember an interview with Ricky Gervais where they were talking about him working with David Bowie. And when Ricky was sort of explaining how the scene would work, he was like, yeah, so if you just do another kind of like Life on Mars type and then Bo's like, oh yeah, cool, I'll just do another Life on Mars, shall I? Yeah, okay, sweet. Fuck, that'll be easy. Yeah. Very funny.

9:17Keyzie:I actually watched that scene just the other day from The Office where the guy does the dancing. Oh, David Brent, oh my fucking God. It reminded me of it yesterday when you were doing that video, but when he comes in, he gets a motivational speaker thing, right, and he walks in. You're the best. Certainly the best, yeah. He's got that on and then he's got his cap and he puts it on backwards and he's getting a clapping guy and you're watching it just fucking dying for him. Oh, it's so bad. Absolutely the worst brilliant. And then there's a bit where he's backstage and he's getting undressed and he's putting a shirt and a woman walks in and he sucks his guts in.

9:56Genius stuff. One of the great pieces of acting of all time.

9:59Mike Minogue:Yeah, I can't watch too much of that show. Oh, yeah, it's tough.
