What is What a Great Punk?

A podcast by Jamie and Todd from These New South Whales.

The Cricket (00:31)
Yeah, what's up man, how are you? Cool, good man. Good man, yeah, you've all been good man. Just, just be taking it easy. How funny is it when you see someone that you know, or that you kind of know like an acquaintance or something, and they go, like they, well, you'll bump into them and they go, what's been happening? And you go, oh, it's the same every time. It's like,

Chewy (00:32)
Yeah, good man. How's it going?

Yeah, I'm good, man

Mm. Not a lot, man. Not much.

The Cricket (01:00)
And then, yeah, there's like so much been happening. You just think through all the things that have been happening. And then you go, then you go, not much, man, yeah, you're just, just chilling, really, just working.

Chewy (01:05)
Yeah.

Yeah, I've started going, Oh, I'm just trying to think of what's happened since. Yeah, not much. Just, you know, what about you? And then it's like that they got nowhere to go with that.

The Cricket (01:24)
Yeah, and they go, oh, not much, man, just chilling, just like, yeah, working and that.

Chewy (01:32)
Yeah, I really like

What is the, when is there a good answer to that question? Maybe if you've just got back from overseas or something. Not much man. Oh, I just got back from overseas. You still say not much and then you go, oh, actually, yeah.

The Cricket (01:38)
Well...

That's a good one. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think I know the correct way to answer that question. And I think it's just, the overseas is a great example. If you just kind of, like think of something.

Chewy (01:58)
Mm-hmm. Think of something

The Cricket (02:00)
It could just be like, oh, I got some new cricket gloves today. Ha ha.

Chewy (02:07)
Yeah, fully. All right. Ask me.

The Cricket (02:08)
Think of something.

Hey man, what's happening? Oh, hang on. How you been, dude? Like, what's been happening?

Chewy (02:14)
Oh, just...

Oh, I've been good. Thanks. Yeah, I just went for a walk this morning. Got a coffee. That's all that's been happening though. Oh, wait, wait. Or this week. Has anything happened this week?

Oh, nothing's happened this week. God damn it. I was thinking like, I mean, laying low this week is that? Nah, that's a boring answer to nothing. Matt been laying low, man. Just sick of the grind.

The Cricket (02:44)
Oh yeah, it's... no that's... Yeah, but you can add a bit more... sprinkle a bit more on top. There you go, yeah, sick of the grind.

Chewy (02:50)
Mm-mm. Watched a new show last night, actually. Yeah, fully. That's boring, eh? No, I mean, I need a good new show. That's what everyone says. I need a new show. Mm. And you go, oh, fucker, no, mate.

The Cricket (02:55)
Oh yeah, show talk.

Oh yeah. What streaming platform's that on? That's a good question, isn't it? When people say that. Yeah. You go, oh, I think it's Stan?

Chewy (03:12)
Apple plus... No, it's Paramount actually, yeah.

The Cricket (03:16)
I just cancelled my Paramount subscription and have been sitting on for like six months.

Chewy (03:21)
And you only got it to watch Dumb and Dumber six months ago or something like that. That's what I did with that one.

The Cricket (03:25)
Yeah, yeah, well, I actually got to torch the curse. So yeah, a few months has just been sitting there. That's cooked. Man, and I got to cancel, what else do I have to cancel? I already canceled my Amazon Prime One, had that for a while.

Chewy (03:29)
Oh yeah, fully. Yeah, I'm gonna cancel it.

I've been reusing that recently. What for? Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Do you know about that? No, yeah. Yeah, it is, but there's a new... There's a new fucking TV series of it created by...

The Cricket (03:44)
Have you?

Oh, I do that. Yeah, that's Brangelina.

Really?

Chewy (04:08)
People are screaming at me right now.

The Cricket (04:12)
created by R.L. Stein.

Chewy (04:13)
Oh, he's a, no, he's a rapper and actor, you know, the really famous guy. Yeah. And it's got Maya Erskine from Pen 15 in it as the other lead.

The Cricket (04:18)
Childish Gambino. Wow.

Right, I don't know what pen 15 is, but here we are at Showtalk.

Chewy (04:27)
Okay, Pen 15 is a really fucking good funny comedy. Like, you know, Pen 15 club. It's about these, it's a coming of age, like high school comedy about two best friend girls, except Maya Erskine and the other creator actor, are 30 year old actors and all, everyone around them is kids.

The Cricket (04:33)
Okay. Oh, what's it about?

Yep.

Okay.

Chewy (04:57)
So teenagers like their actual but anyway, she's in it and the other blade. It's quite, it was quite good.

The Cricket (04:59)
Okay.

Oh, Penn 50. Yeah, okay. And what streaming platform is that on?

Chewy (05:10)
Stan. I think it was Stan. Yeah, I can't remember. I watched it years ago. That's a good show. But anyway, fuck, this is so boring. I'm so sorry, everyone. But like, I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith, if you're asking how I'm going, I finished that yesterday. So I didn't like it at first, but it was quite good by the end.

The Cricket (05:12)
It's on stain? Stain.

Stay in.

Oh yeah, that's right.

Oh, was it any good?

Okay, because I just read an article last night while I was at work. Like, you know how the work computers always got like nine MSN as the home page or something like that?

Chewy (05:37)
Mm.

Yeah, and the bookmarks bar at the bottom was like, yeah. I don't know, it's bookmarks.

The Cricket (05:46)
With what? Yeah. I read an article about Angelina saying, you know, it wasn't just the kids that, it wasn't just that time on the plane that Brad was abusive. He abused the kids that time, and that was the last straw for me. It was the first time he'd ever abused the kids. But he'd been abusive with me for years.

Chewy (06:10)
Mm.

What happened in that incident? Didn't he pour like a lemonade on her head or something like that? Imagine pouring a lemonade on Angelina Jolie's head. It's terrible. Yeah. The mother of your children.

The Cricket (06:15)
prior to that.

I think so, there was something rank like that. Yeah. It's fucking awful.

Oh, what a disrespectful piece of shit.

Chewy (06:32)
Should have had it going in when I saw him in Ithaca. Should have pulled the bucket hat off his head.

The Cricket (06:34)
You really should...

That's good.

Chewy (06:46)
Those things are so loud, I love it. Keeps me fresh. You can pull this little thing down. Oh, both. What if I click this? This one here.

The Cricket (06:48)
They are loud, aren't they? Is it too loud? Probably. Yeah, yeah, I'll turn it down. Yeah, put it to the, yeah.

Yeah, that's perfect volume.

Chewy (07:07)
That's perfect. There's a bit of a, they don't play straight away too, but that's fine. We just gotta get, gotta preempt the moment. Yeah.

The Cricket (07:13)
Yeah, you get good at that, yeah. Yeah, so the bumping, I always hate that. I can't stand that bumping culture where you have to pick something from your life. Well, but that's the solution to it. You have to pick something from your life and to go there, I reckon.

Chewy (07:24)
Mm.

Mm.

Yeah, I think it's good. It's also like a good task. You know what I mean? Like keeps you keeps you active. Keeps your mind keeps you. Yeah. It really does. That's skill. It keeps you sharp skilled. Um, do you know this kind of reminds me of something funny that happened the other day, I was having a chat with, um, with Sarah shout outs.

The Cricket (07:42)
It does, it keeps you practicing being a monkey in the zoo.

Yeah, I heard that.

Chewy (08:02)
Ben's wife and shout out to all the wives out there and all the husbands. Um, we were talking about like, not stopping for people in the street, even if you'd know them quite well. Like, even if you know them well. So we kind of had this sort of unsaid thing, I reckon from that conversation that we wouldn't really stop for each other.

The Cricket (08:17)
Aw yeah.

Chewy (08:29)
In like Northcote Plaza or something if we saw each other, you know what I mean? But we might but if we don't it's okay We would but if we don't I'd understand there'd be a reason, you know

The Cricket (08:32)
Yeah, I think you would. I think you guys would though, to be honest.

Yeah. You know the only embarrassing bit about the non-stopping? I swear to God that you both realize that when you did the non-stop, there's a slight like, oh they didn't want to stop. Like both parties have the... even though they're stoked that the other party didn't stop, they're like, they didn't want to stop. They didn't want to stop. There's like a recognition that's like, okay, we're on the non-stop.

Chewy (09:00)
Mm.

Yeah, they didn't want to stop. Mm.

Yeah, fully. I don't think that necessarily means that you're not friends or like that good of friends as you thought you were. It can. I think it's more if it's an acquaintance. Even then, like, okay, I've got a story.

The Cricket (09:21)
It can, but doesn't.

You get so off, okay, good. You get so off the, you're so let off the hook when you just get the nose stop, aren't you? Like when you see an acquaintance, hey, how are you mate? Yeah, good, thanks mate, yeah, yeah.

Chewy (09:35)
Yeah.

Or when you both see each other and then you both turn around and look at your phones. And if you, you know what I mean? When that's you maybe waiting for a coffee or something, you see someone and you both go, Oh, fuck. And you turn around.

The Cricket (09:49)
Oh yeah, yeah. Yes.

Chewy (09:55)
Yeah. Um, I had a situation happen to me where I saw someone, no, I didn't. Someone I know really well and I'm very good friends with, um, saw me from across the street and went, Todd.

And I heard my name and I went, fuck. And I went, Todd, Todd. And I turned around and I was like, oh, how's it going? And so like, I was actually happy they stopped me and I ran across the street. And I said hi and we chatted for like five minutes and we went on our separate ways. And they were like, they just parked on this main street and were getting out of their car and they saw me walking on the other side. And then once that was done, I was just thinking that like,

The Cricket (10:32)
Oh, nice.

Chewy (10:49)
If that was me, I probably wouldn't have yelled across the street. I would have just let my very good friend just walk across. Cause like I'm parking the car. I'm getting out of the car. I got to work out the ticket. I got to go to a thing. You know what I mean? Like our world's sort of skimmed, but they didn't collide.

The Cricket (10:54)
Aw yeah.

Hahaha

Yeah.

Hang on, but you stopped. You could have just gone, couldn't you have just waved out the window?

Chewy (11:15)
No, no. So they parked their car, saw me, I was walking. If they hadn't yelled out, I wouldn't have seen them. That's a different one. It's when you see someone and they don't see you. Do you just let them go? Do you let them float on by, you know, unaware?

The Cricket (11:19)
Oh, okay.

Aw yeah.

Yeah, you fully can. I'm just trying to think of an instance where that's happening. Again, it just depends on the specific relationship between the two people, doesn't it? It's a very case-by-case scenario.

Chewy (11:47)
Or a good, okay. Me. If I'm walking down the street and you're on the other side, you've just parked up. You've got to get a ticket and all that kind of shit. And I'm walking down. I haven't seen you. Do you just let me walk on past? Not knowing. And like blissfully unaware.

The Cricket (11:58)
Yeah.

Hahaha.

Nah, no, I wouldn't. I'd go, Todd, and like think, but I have seen you in the wild before. I'm like, you go. I think I've told you about it. Yeah, yeah, it was you and Todd.

Chewy (12:12)
Mm.

Hahaha!

You let me float by?
