How do the hosts introduce the Public Speaking Special and set the tone?
For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show podcast, get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Or Raw Dog It. Four to seven every weekday. On Radio Huracan.
Oh, g'day, fellas. Backbone. Wait. Hello. Fuck, that actually threw me off. You're not saying backbone there.
I forgot.
Backbone. My brain was like, someone says backbone here. Is it me?
How are we going, fellas? Bloody good, actually. I went to the gym. That was nice. Nice. I had a good day today, man. That's excellent, Mogi. Had a good sleep last night. I woke up a few times. That's true. But my daughter, she had her first speech today. Oh, yes. Great. Just they're fearless, eh? I don't know if everyone – there will be kids that wouldn't have been in Twitter, I'd imagine.
Yes.
But they had to do it off cue. They had to have your cue cards. I remember that. It was very young, I thought, to be doing that. And reading off that, but she just knew the whole thing off by heart. Yes. So I was like, well, you can just do it off by heart. She's like, no, the teacher said we've got to have the cards.
What story does Mogi share about his daughter’s first speech and cue cards?
It's like, yeah, but the cards are there to help you. And then, of course, she was reading off the cards and it made her worse.
Yes, because you're focusing on that. You're focusing on the cards. Yeah, yeah.
And that was throwing her. So anyway, she's done that. Only seven. So I get to find out how that went. I just hope she had fun.
Yes.
But she's funny. God, they've got good memories, man. Fuck, I wish I had a brand new memory in me.
Yeah.
Brand new hard drive Keezy.
Thanks for that, man. Oh. I remember those times very well, Mogi. I had two girls that loved it.
Yeah.
We're naturals. Yeah. And two girls that hated it. Yeah. And actually, interestingly, the one that hated it the most, the youngest. Was the best at it. Yeah, she actually was. And they came up to her afterwards and like, oh, you've got to do this and blah, blah, blah. You should tell speeches. And she was like, no, I'm never doing that again.
You should do speeches at the UN. Yeah. Yeah.
I was going to say, it sounds like content.
It sounds 100%.
I actually, I had to judge them once with another actor, Mark Mitchison.
Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. I have to, they asked me to do it this year. The final's the next week. I did them last year, but I'll be away in Queenstown, innit? Yeah. So I can't do it, which was a shame. But last year, they were fucking hilarious. Yes.
How do the hosts compare kids’ fearlessness and memory to adults’ memory?
I was hard, but fair. I had them in tears. How old were they?
Eight.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. With Mark Mitchison, that's funny. Yeah, with Mark. Yeah, it was good. Fucking funny.
Do you remember your first ever speech and what the topic was?
I do. I do. I did it at St. Patrick's College in Silverstream. I might have done it. I did. And it was in third form and it was about cartoons. And it was sarcastic, but it was about the negative effect of violence on young people. And I got to the final. I think I came third in the year. I could never do a serious one. It always had to be stupid.
Yeah.
And I think that cost me keys in the long run.
Yeah. I can't remember my first ever speech, but I can remember my first ever performance at primary school. And I still remember the song.
Okay. Please stand up. Okay.
What judging and judging-judge anecdotes do the hosts recount from speech competitions?
Here we go. This is great.
This is fucking great. And I remember I had an umbrella.
You suck. Well, you were in a little hat.
And I think I had a raincoat on.
Oh, with nothing on underneath. You're a sick bastard.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't let the rain come down. Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't let the rain come down. Oh, no. Oh, no, don't let the rain come down. My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown.
How old were you, 15?
No, I was a young buck. I was maybe six or seven. That's pretty cute. That's pretty cute. I don't know why that stuck in my head.
Isn't that amazing that you still know that? Yeah, yeah. 33 years later. Formative. Yes. Unreal. They're big, but they do burn a hole in you. And I remember doing one at college. just in front of the class to get into the final, because I hated it, absolutely hated it. I was terrified. Yes. And being up the front and at the desks right at the front were two smoke show Swedish exchange students right there.
