In this episode, we catch up with Jaason Simmons, Tasmanian-born actor and star of Baywatch and Sharknado.
From wanting to live off the grid back in Tasmania to why Tim Tams just don’t taste the same overseas, Jaason keeps us laughing and thinking.
We chat about his nickname “Mr Mischief” (yes, like the Mr. Men character), how he once turned the tables on Graham Norton, and what he’s learned about really knowing what women want.
It’s cheeky, thoughtful, and full of surprises - just like Jaason himself.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Every day brings a new story. The life isn't perfect,
but it's perfectly ours, with raw conversations, inspiring stories and
laugh until you cry moments we hit him. I unpack
it all and figure it out together, one episode at
a time. This is Life as we Know It, unfiltered
with Tony Tanalia and Lisa Cameron.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And our guest is Tasmanian born Hollywood actor Jason Simmons.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You may know him from the original Baywatch series or Sharknado.
I hope you enjoy our second episode with.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Him with the and this is I'd say we'd be
part of the training as well, because I'm sitting there thinking, Okay,
if I was playing a role and I was getting
immersed into this role, at some point I reckon. For me,
part of me would go, oh shit, hang on, that's
not mete, what am I doing? And I would fall
out of that role like to There's got to be
a lot of Stamina's not the right word. What's what
(01:03):
I'm thinking about.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Discipline. There's gonna be a lot of discipline to remain
in that role, especially when it's not.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You well completely you know, well, nothing I've played been yeah, yeah,
like I haven't played a gay role. Like I wouldn't
even say I'm the leading guy. But I like playing
the offbeat, like the like the wacky characters and stuff
like that. But at that when you're in your early twenties,
you can't show how many characters you can play because
they don't fucking care. Is like, play this character and
(01:30):
that's what it is. So once I did that, I
said thank you very much and then got onto the
next character. Stuff like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
But so is that part of the training that that
you learn that discipline of staying within the role.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yes, because as a kid, I had to stand in Like,
my discipline believing what needs to be believed is very strong, right,
so not sing everybody can work like that, but I
can pull it up like that was I think my
strength as far as what I could do as a
make money or a career whatever. Yeah, maybe, but like
I had to learn how to communicate. Look at people
(02:05):
just say you know.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah ja.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
So you were saying, so you were pretty much brought
up by your mom and was it your grandmother?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
My my mum remarried, has step dad who's amazing, Yeah,
really great. And but during the time of my father
got sick when I was born, before I was born
to the time I was saven. So throughout that time,
I think it's a six spreen tremor. So I was
going back and forth between grandmothers and so you ever knew.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Your dad as being sick?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, so that that in itself, in
conjunction with what happened later on in life, it was
so different, but it was interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
So it's going to say, there was, you know, like
a strong female influence to you. What have you learned
about women?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Listen, if anny straight guy wants to know anything about women,
talk to me please. If they were not, if guys
were nicer than me at the time, did they understand
who I could have introduced them to you? And it's
like I think if guys were more in tune with
guys that know girls that I can translate very easily
between my straight girlfriends and their boyfriends or their partners whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So like it's so the nice you are to us,
the nicer we you know. Yeah, Okay, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
So you've got you've got that, You've got like that
the strong feminine intuition where you can.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well I would say sensitive like hyper sensitive. So if
that's feminine, I guess. I mean listening seemed to be
seen as feminine back in the day, so weird.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I think it is. I mean, we all have the
masculine and feminine energy too, and I think the feminine
energy is about the listening, the caring, the nurturing and
that and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
So, and that's what I explained to the guys.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, but did they listen.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I've had the same girlfriends for like thirty years, Like, yeah,
I'm an Australian guy. Ye, so I've heard everything. Yeah, yeah,
I know what women don't tolerate. I know what you knows.
What's how long have you got?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Plenty of times?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
This is an interesting conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I love them.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Being late, being sloppy, being led to being.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Like yeah, like where do you start typing?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Like everything? Yeah, it's like, but.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Don't most men understand that that women don't like that
and don't tolerate that, Like, isn't.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
It because it's because then the data shut down and
then yeah, it's like it goes in a cycle. Yeah yeah, yeah,
it's like it's delicate, and I mean I've played straight characters.
It's very interesting, like to play straight. It's very interesting,
like to sort of see those dynamics and how it's seen.
I don't think it's changed me how I act, but
(04:46):
how it's perceived is completely different, you know. But I've
got girlfriends now that that i've worked with that they've
been with the partners for like twenty thirty years and
something that happened. But it's just having that knowledge of
how a guy, like I think I learned how a
guy thought later on in life through being away from
home and stuff like that. So I think both experiences
(05:08):
and my sister as well, I know how wouldn't like
to be treated and spoke to it and yeah, but
then some of my girlfriends like bad guys, but they've
they've grown out of that right period fifty now, but
like in the thirties, different conversation.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, and I think that's true. We sort of
you know, I mean I can vouch for that. Like
you go through a stage where you know, you feel
insecure about yourself, feel shit about yourself, and you just
want the bad guy to sort of mirror, yeah, what
you're feeling on the inside.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, you just want to get.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Say it some hot.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Who knows why But like the girls that I've worked with,
their boyfriends have been hyper in the medium bad Yeah guys,
you know. I mean so it's like that whole nineties
bad Guy is different than the than the bad Guy today. Yea, yeah, yeah,
I think it was a lot more hardcore, I think.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, So what's on the horizon for you? Obviously you're
in Australia for super Nova.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Here, no idea, you're getting over jet lag drinking green juice?
When did you arrive in the country?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh yeah, Oh, good luck with that waking up? Right?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So when you here's he's a little tip for you
when you came into Australia. When you came you say,
when you're right, did you arrive cup of tea?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Would you say? Wagon wheel and a cup of tea? Okay?
Is that supposed to help the.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Jet I'm Australia.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I was gonna know it's going to say did you
arrive in the morning or at night?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
That's the worst time the morning. Coming here.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Here's a tip, right, Because I had to do the
travel between Australia and Ireland, always made sure that whatever
country I was going to, I arrive at night.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Because that's pretty nice. But if the plans don't land
at night, the land.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And the body they land at night here in Australia,
not usually what the ones from the States.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah, that's a bit ripped off. And then it's sort
of like yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, so what you then need to do is go
into a country, like into Singapore and Singapore for a
night and then but.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It's a fifty our direct flight from l A.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Theory just went out.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But listen to fifteen hours. I wasn't used to. I
was used to go into La Sydney, which is not
that much further, but it is when it's fifteen you
can tell it's fifteen hours.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And you're living in Texas. Your partner did you say something?
Was your partner from Texas? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Doesn't like Texas?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Like you should say it's great.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
That's a bit too direct.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, no, I can't, I can't. I can't talk us
in LA because my favorite words are not tolerated.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh no, remember it's the podcast.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Woman wants to Hear in America's It's Times one hundred.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You just can't said letters my favorite See we all
say fuck.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
In a podcast.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
We tend to use it as full of Sometimes it's.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Just the perfect word for like just when whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But then then your partner they're not swinging, gets really
pissed off because they figure is really aggressive, but you're.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Not saying sorry. They haven't minimal tes person yet. That's yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Live in I coming home more often. I'm going to
build off grid home and tazzy nice. We're back yet.
There's two places, but somewhere a little bit isolated. But
I've never built off grid. So I've just seen the
stuff on on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So you still got family, obviously, you have me back Monday, right, Okay,
Just he's another.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Little number two, number two, number two.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
The auroras are going nuts.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I was going to say to you, that's why I'm
going down there.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I love the Aurora. Can we even just go down
to like wear it be beach or sometimes.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, southey. It's just that's one of the reasons because
when I flew back last time, I flew back through one,
Oh wow, and I was just all green. It was
like it was so beautiful. So I haven't seen them
for so long, being you don't really see much step
whatever you see at the time, and so just the
sky in in Tasmania. Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, Well, my my son and I planning to go
to Tassy. We've been playing this for years just that
we can't. So he's he's studying animation.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
He's what care we go?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
He feels comfortable with us now.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So we've been wanting to go to Tassy for a
few years. But he's studying animation. He's no, so his
holidays don't match up with my when I'm allowed to
have holidays from work.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Take some time.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
But we're planning to go July to Tay.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Good luck with that. My birthday July twelfth, and ever
came to my birthday but listen, listen, nobody would ever
come because it was so fucking cold. But then but
then I go to l A and my birthday is
toll like twelve summer, so pool parties, like it's the best.
It's the best part of moving to the other. Yeah,
(10:17):
because but I do want to know what it's like
on my birthday Untuly. But it's cold.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, this is one that is because I went to
It's Worth, It's.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Worth, like my find it doesn't understand weather. Okay, it
sound like you know cold to him, like like there's
there's variations of cold and has he throughout the day.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, but but.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Then it's like the nature everything about it. It's not
about how warm you are, It's about what you're breathing in.
It's what you're seeing and stuff like that. Unless you're there,
it's hard to describe that, you know what I mean.
I want to take in campus band and stuff and really,
but I don't know. He may not make it. I
may have to leave them for you. Yeah, I don't
(11:03):
think you make hypothermia.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
The one thing I loved when I was living in
tay as well, like during the day it was like
the middle of summer, right and so doesn't get that hot,
but it's you get some decent weather and then later
in the day the snow on Mount Wellington.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
And but then when it is like warm, the sun
is so much stronger. I get so burnt, so much easier.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
It's it's funny to come back from a holiday and
get your.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It is because the I zone layer over Tasmania is
actually the whole.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Is the biggest, even bigger in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I say Tim Tams obviously have you
have you man, slow down, just break you've introduced Tim
Tam your partner.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I'm assuming yes, but they're not the same. That like that.
It's like chocolates, Lunchton's. It's like Lounston's from the I
grew up, not Blunstons.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Now you're saying Blunstone, Blunstone, Blustones. Come on, that's almost British.
American parents are British, Like it's different because they got
brought out and they got outsourced the same sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Are we talking about tims? You said that were different.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I told you, yeah, okay, So you can go to
a place to a closs plus right and they say
Tim Tams. But they're not the same. My dad used
to look at cabrites. So I know chocolate, yes, like
every time we come home. I was one. You have
chocolates in his top pocket, so I knew every chocolate
like bas So, American chocolate is different.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Penguins, isn't that? Isn't that similar to Tim tams? Have
you seen the penguins? That's a British thing?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Is it a what a penguin?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What penglin biscuit? It's like a Tim tam.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Does it look like a penguin?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
No, it's it looks like a tim.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Again, probably I probably had.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Them, yes, because that's what I thought you were leading to.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
No, no, no, it's it's it's a completely different like taste.
It's not the same. You don't get the same explosion.
It's not the same thing. But it's like the name's
been outsourced, even though it may not have. It seems
like it's not the same as the stuff here. Like
I go back to La with a bunch of ship chocolate. Yeah,
(13:23):
and I'm here east of the time. This day after
east is the best time to go.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Likes chocolate. Haigs, you got to go to the shop.
Haggs is a South Australian company. I know, actually I
know the lady whose family owners.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Really what stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's amazing. They've got peppermint frogs, which.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
They used to be called Fredo because my face was
so big.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I don't know that that's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
No, lady used to have a really big jaw. It's
it's the same. But again, yes, anything cabrites anything.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
When you here for a few days. Obviously there's a
Haiggs store in the city on Swanston Street, I think
it is.
Speaker 5 (14:05):

Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, no, this is this is this is a beautiful
milk chocolate about like upper clusters.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Since I was thirteen, I've been going to the city
and every time in the city, I go to Haig's
and I get two milk chocolate teddy bears and I
just sit on a little seat and I eat them.
Speaker 4 (14:28):

Speaker 5 (14:29):

Speaker 4 (14:30):

can see that when we're talking, you're like thinking about
who this person is and what they're like. So it's
it's it's like you know they like you said the observer.
But I can really see that through your movements that
(17:30):
you are and you're curious about people.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
It wouldn't be boring any other way.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Well, there's some people who are just very much about themselves,

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Goes dating side. I know it's trying to get me
on Bumble and I don't even know, but.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
We joke about it, but I just had to go
and then I got off.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I need to see your instagram.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
To it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I'm going to check it out.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I find when I'm out and guys, you know, they'll
come up and chat in that and I do sometimes
get that that I come across as intimidating, and but
I don't do you don't want no, But I don't
mind that they say that because and then I think
you're not the person for me, and you've got your
power to handle the depth in conversation that I would like.
(18:48):
So I just go, thank you, you've learned. Yeah, you
tell me who you are exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Or they could be really sensitive and really shy and
really you know, it's like like no, it's you've got
a job. Of course you're intimidating.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's like, yeah, wow, do you know what I do.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I'm not thinking about TikTokers, I'm talking about us. Yeah, differently,
even on time change with mine.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
This is the other, the other part that I've noticed
with you. So you do you start off a bit
shy but actually very playful.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Listen, when I was a kid, I would walk in
a room. I didn't know whether I was going to
get punched or whatever, so I never look at anybody.
So once I trust you, like I've always been like this,
but nobody let me.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Once you you're gained someone's tress, so you feel comfortable
with somebody and I can't shut you up.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah, actually taken over the show.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
But I do some ideas about a couple of topics. Okay, yeah, dating, Yes,
asked me questions about guys, and then let's do this. Okay,
let's set up a dating show. I want to see
people I'm mediate like I've talked to them both, and

Speaker 5 (20:43):
I just wanted to know if you had any single straight.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Male, how young do you want to go?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yes, okay please?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
So I am playing forty seven, I'm probably like someone
in their forties. I'd like a man that's already had kids,
because then I'm not going to feel pressured have kids
with because I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But I'm happy to get young.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I'm fifty seven, but I can go down to forty
thirty seven.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Maybe just looking at me like what I'm don't think
who my street friends are under forty that don't have kids?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I have kids, said have listen, Yeah, and they've got
to be single in relationships.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Definitely definitely single people. But let's figure it out. We'll
call it something fun.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Oh okay, this back to our podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
That good everybody. We're trying to think you. I have
a drink of my life juice life juice.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
You like that?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I love it?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
He's going to We're going to see him with the
wagon wheel.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
This is it? Yeah? Because I had a Mini one
and that would put in there.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I would how good are many wagon wheels.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Have you done the team time thing?
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I'm not Coop yet, but I'm going to do either
end of the Tim Tam And we were just talking
about that like forty minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
It's have you done that fucking tim Tam thing? That's
how we're talking now you hear.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Yes, it can't be Australian.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
He's a bloody wad chop.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That's it. That's it, that's it, all right? Can I
ask another question? Completely different? Do you want to.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Man?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Seriously? All right, here's one one.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It's going to get a little bit deep. All right,
you're ready, finish your drink? Swallow that done?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Ready?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
No?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
No one say a word? Please, nobody say a word. Right,
here's a question.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What is your favorite quote or words you live by?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
You do know? Aid?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Right?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yep, it's gonna make it even more fun.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, So it's one of those questions. Yeah, yeah, okay.
It is like when I meet people and want them
to be here. They are not what they think I
want them to be or what they should be. I
just want them to be more authentic. I think authenticity
speaks a lot. So if you're like funk around saying
I'm going to the store. You don't go to the
(23:13):
store then you you know what I mean. It's like
it's it comes down, it breaks down to stuff like that.
But like do you find them?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
There's a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm obviously going to encounter a lot of people who
aren't authentic around you, because you know, you're.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
So much anywhow like people. I mean, yes, but I've
had the same friends for thirty years. But when I
was younger, I thought everybody had my best intentions when
I'm over there, and that's I had to learn that.
But now I don't do anything unless I want to
do it or or if it's the right motivation. But
you know, there are people around, but I'm a hermit mostly.
(23:49):
That's an act Most actors are like that. But as
far as this, this whole new medium stuff, it's a
whole this I'm learning like as I go, so yep, yeah,
so so thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Well you're welcome and you take your class. Anytime after
having this shirt, you could definitely have your own show. Yeah,
it'd be a lot of swearing. Yeah, that's the appeal.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
It's like when it's only to speak to Australians, then
it happens it's nobody is like with Astra interviews like
it just it happens, and we use it in a
different context. So sometimes to other people it sounds a
lot harsher than it really, or a lot more despeakable,
degrading or whatever. Wody sort of told me to be dems.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's it. It's part of every day.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
But you have to sort of no one, it's tolerated.
What's not? What's the question?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Lovely didn't meet you guys.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Oh, he's so much.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Wrapping it up.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
That was That was the first time I wanted to
I wanted to try that one.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Oh that's a practice for you.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh my god, how did it go?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
It was funny. He I knew he was about to
play trick on me, which I don't like tricks. So
my publicists told me at the time he wanted me
to save him an audience. Poe Basting went through to
his desk and took over the show, and then I
gave mouth to mouth and his nose and his chicks.
It's funny. At the time. My nickname is the mister
(25:14):
men books.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, which one?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Are you mischief?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Whatever?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Again?
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
But it's funny because both booth productions. I would do
earlier on Please, I would get that book. At the
end of the run, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
What do you say, You've got nice collection of.
Speaker 4 (25:34):

with Tony Tanalia and Lisa Cameron.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And our guest is Tasmanian born Hollywood actor Jason Simmons.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You may know him from the original Baywatch series or Sharknado.
I hope you enjoy our second episode with.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Him with the and this is I'd say we'd be
part of the training as well, because I'm sitting there thinking, Okay,
if I was playing a role and I was getting
immersed into this role, at some point I reckon. For me,
part of me would go, oh shit, hang on, that's
not mete, what am I doing? And I would fall
out of that role like to There's got to be
a lot of Stamina's not the right word. What's what
(01:03):
I'm thinking about.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Discipline. There's gonna be a lot of discipline to remain
in that role, especially when it's not.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You well completely you know, well, nothing I've played been yeah, yeah,
like I haven't played a gay role. Like I wouldn't
even say I'm the leading guy. But I like playing
the offbeat, like the like the wacky characters and stuff
like that. But at that when you're in your early twenties,
you can't show how many characters you can play because
they don't fucking care. Is like, play this character and
(01:30):
that's what it is. So once I did that, I
said thank you very much and then got onto the
next character. Stuff like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
But so is that part of the training that that
you learn that discipline of staying within the role.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yes, because as a kid, I had to stand in Like,
my discipline believing what needs to be believed is very strong, right,
so not sing everybody can work like that, but I
can pull it up like that was I think my
strength as far as what I could do as a
make money or a career whatever. Yeah, maybe, but like
I had to learn how to communicate. Look at people
(02:05):
just say you know.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah ja.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
So you were saying, so you were pretty much brought
up by your mom and was it your grandmother?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
My my mum remarried, has step dad who's amazing, Yeah,
really great. And but during the time of my father
got sick when I was born, before I was born
to the time I was saven. So throughout that time,
I think it's a six spreen tremor. So I was
going back and forth between grandmothers and so you ever knew.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Your dad as being sick?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, so that that in itself, in
conjunction with what happened later on in life, it was
so different, but it was interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
So it's going to say, there was, you know, like
a strong female influence to you. What have you learned
about women?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Listen, if anny straight guy wants to know anything about women,
talk to me please. If they were not, if guys
were nicer than me at the time, did they understand
who I could have introduced them to you? And it's
like I think if guys were more in tune with
guys that know girls that I can translate very easily
between my straight girlfriends and their boyfriends or their partners whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So like it's so the nice you are to us,
the nicer we you know. Yeah, Okay, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
So you've got you've got that, You've got like that
the strong feminine intuition where you can.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well I would say sensitive like hyper sensitive. So if
that's feminine, I guess. I mean listening seemed to be
seen as feminine back in the day, so weird.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I think it is. I mean, we all have the
masculine and feminine energy too, and I think the feminine
energy is about the listening, the caring, the nurturing and
that and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
So, and that's what I explained to the guys.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, but did they listen.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I've had the same girlfriends for like thirty years, Like, yeah,
I'm an Australian guy. Ye, so I've heard everything. Yeah, yeah,
I know what women don't tolerate. I know what you knows.
What's how long have you got?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Plenty of times?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
This is an interesting conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I love them.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Being late, being sloppy, being led to being.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Like yeah, like where do you start typing?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Like everything? Yeah, it's like, but.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Don't most men understand that that women don't like that
and don't tolerate that, Like, isn't.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
It because it's because then the data shut down and
then yeah, it's like it goes in a cycle. Yeah yeah, yeah,
it's like it's delicate, and I mean I've played straight characters.
It's very interesting, like to play straight. It's very interesting,
like to sort of see those dynamics and how it's seen.
I don't think it's changed me how I act, but
(04:46):
how it's perceived is completely different, you know. But I've
got girlfriends now that that i've worked with that they've
been with the partners for like twenty thirty years and
something that happened. But it's just having that knowledge of
how a guy, like I think I learned how a
guy thought later on in life through being away from
home and stuff like that. So I think both experiences
(05:08):
and my sister as well, I know how wouldn't like
to be treated and spoke to it and yeah, but
then some of my girlfriends like bad guys, but they've
they've grown out of that right period fifty now, but
like in the thirties, different conversation.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, and I think that's true. We sort of
you know, I mean I can vouch for that. Like
you go through a stage where you know, you feel
insecure about yourself, feel shit about yourself, and you just
want the bad guy to sort of mirror, yeah, what
you're feeling on the inside.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, you just want to get.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Say it some hot.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Who knows why But like the girls that I've worked with,
their boyfriends have been hyper in the medium bad Yeah guys,
you know. I mean so it's like that whole nineties
bad Guy is different than the than the bad Guy today. Yea, yeah, yeah,
I think it was a lot more hardcore, I think.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, So what's on the horizon for you? Obviously you're
in Australia for super Nova.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Here, no idea, you're getting over jet lag drinking green juice?
When did you arrive in the country?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh yeah, Oh, good luck with that waking up? Right?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So when you here's he's a little tip for you
when you came into Australia. When you came you say,
when you're right, did you arrive cup of tea?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Would you say? Wagon wheel and a cup of tea? Okay?
Is that supposed to help the.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Jet I'm Australia.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I was gonna know it's going to say did you
arrive in the morning or at night?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
That's the worst time the morning. Coming here.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Here's a tip, right, Because I had to do the
travel between Australia and Ireland, always made sure that whatever
country I was going to, I arrive at night.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Because that's pretty nice. But if the plans don't land
at night, the land.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And the body they land at night here in Australia,
not usually what the ones from the States.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah, that's a bit ripped off. And then it's sort
of like yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, so what you then need to do is go
into a country, like into Singapore and Singapore for a
night and then but.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It's a fifty our direct flight from l A.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Theory just went out.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But listen to fifteen hours. I wasn't used to. I
was used to go into La Sydney, which is not
that much further, but it is when it's fifteen you
can tell it's fifteen hours.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And you're living in Texas. Your partner did you say something?
Was your partner from Texas? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Doesn't like Texas?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Like you should say it's great.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
That's a bit too direct.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, no, I can't, I can't. I can't talk us
in LA because my favorite words are not tolerated.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh no, remember it's the podcast.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Woman wants to Hear in America's It's Times one hundred.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
You just can't said letters my favorite See we all
say fuck.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
In a podcast.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
We tend to use it as full of Sometimes it's.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Just the perfect word for like just when whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But then then your partner they're not swinging, gets really
pissed off because they figure is really aggressive, but you're.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Not saying sorry. They haven't minimal tes person yet. That's yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Live in I coming home more often. I'm going to
build off grid home and tazzy nice. We're back yet.
There's two places, but somewhere a little bit isolated. But
I've never built off grid. So I've just seen the
stuff on on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So you still got family, obviously, you have me back Monday, right, Okay,
Just he's another.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Little number two, number two, number two.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
The auroras are going nuts.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I was going to say to you, that's why I'm
going down there.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I love the Aurora. Can we even just go down
to like wear it be beach or sometimes.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, southey. It's just that's one of the reasons because
when I flew back last time, I flew back through one,
Oh wow, and I was just all green. It was
like it was so beautiful. So I haven't seen them
for so long, being you don't really see much step
whatever you see at the time, and so just the
sky in in Tasmania. Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, Well, my my son and I planning to go
to Tassy. We've been playing this for years just that
we can't. So he's he's studying animation.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
He's what care we go?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
He feels comfortable with us now.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So we've been wanting to go to Tassy for a
few years. But he's studying animation. He's no, so his
holidays don't match up with my when I'm allowed to
have holidays from work.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Take some time.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
But we're planning to go July to Tay.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Good luck with that. My birthday July twelfth, and ever
came to my birthday but listen, listen, nobody would ever
come because it was so fucking cold. But then but
then I go to l A and my birthday is
toll like twelve summer, so pool parties, like it's the best.
It's the best part of moving to the other. Yeah,
(10:17):
because but I do want to know what it's like
on my birthday Untuly. But it's cold.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, this is one that is because I went to
It's Worth, It's.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Worth, like my find it doesn't understand weather. Okay, it
sound like you know cold to him, like like there's
there's variations of cold and has he throughout the day.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, but but.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Then it's like the nature everything about it. It's not
about how warm you are, It's about what you're breathing in.
It's what you're seeing and stuff like that. Unless you're there,
it's hard to describe that, you know what I mean.
I want to take in campus band and stuff and really,
but I don't know. He may not make it. I
may have to leave them for you. Yeah, I don't
(11:03):
think you make hypothermia.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
The one thing I loved when I was living in
tay as well, like during the day it was like
the middle of summer, right and so doesn't get that hot,
but it's you get some decent weather and then later
in the day the snow on Mount Wellington.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
And but then when it is like warm, the sun
is so much stronger. I get so burnt, so much easier.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
It's it's funny to come back from a holiday and
get your.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It is because the I zone layer over Tasmania is
actually the whole.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Is the biggest, even bigger in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I say Tim Tams obviously have you
have you man, slow down, just break you've introduced Tim
Tam your partner.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I'm assuming yes, but they're not the same. That like that.
It's like chocolates, Lunchton's. It's like Lounston's from the I
grew up, not Blunstons.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Now you're saying Blunstone, Blunstone, Blustones. Come on, that's almost British.
American parents are British, Like it's different because they got
brought out and they got outsourced the same sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Are we talking about tims? You said that were different.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I told you, yeah, okay, So you can go to
a place to a closs plus right and they say
Tim Tams. But they're not the same. My dad used
to look at cabrites. So I know chocolate, yes, like
every time we come home. I was one. You have
chocolates in his top pocket, so I knew every chocolate
like bas So, American chocolate is different.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Penguins, isn't that? Isn't that similar to Tim tams? Have
you seen the penguins? That's a British thing?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Is it a what a penguin?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What penglin biscuit? It's like a Tim tam.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Does it look like a penguin?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
No, it's it looks like a tim.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Again, probably I probably had.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Them, yes, because that's what I thought you were leading to.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
No, no, no, it's it's it's a completely different like taste.
It's not the same. You don't get the same explosion.
It's not the same thing. But it's like the name's
been outsourced, even though it may not have. It seems
like it's not the same as the stuff here. Like
I go back to La with a bunch of ship chocolate. Yeah,
(13:23):
and I'm here east of the time. This day after
east is the best time to go.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Likes chocolate. Haigs, you got to go to the shop.
Haggs is a South Australian company. I know, actually I
know the lady whose family owners.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Really what stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's amazing. They've got peppermint frogs, which.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
They used to be called Fredo because my face was
so big.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I don't know that that's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
No, lady used to have a really big jaw. It's
it's the same. But again, yes, anything cabrites anything.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
When you here for a few days. Obviously there's a
Haiggs store in the city on Swanston Street, I think
it is.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
There's three cage yep and up the top of colin and.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
You've got to try eggs.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, they would really can get.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
A d a.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, no, this is this is this is a beautiful
milk chocolate about like upper clusters.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Since I was thirteen, I've been going to the city
and every time in the city, I go to Haig's
and I get two milk chocolate teddy bears and I
just sit on a little seat and I eat them.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Are you from here?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I'm from here?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
There you go. Yeah, yeah, I'm not sorry. I have

to be taking it back to what they got, the
milk chocolate frogs, but the pepmint ones of the gloss.
Speaker 5 (14:46):

Speaker 4 (16:56):
You think your crabs interesting?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
That it is true? Side by okay, animal an animal, okay,
But my observations of you.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I didn't ask you that.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Well, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm being bossing now, okay,
so very. I just think you're very intuitive and I
can see that when we're talking, you're like thinking about
who this person is and what they're like. So it's
it's it's like you know they like you said the observer.
But I can really see that through your movements that
(17:30):
you are and you're curious about people.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
It wouldn't be boring any other way.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Well, there's some people who are just very much about themselves,
you know, they just go through life being about themselves
and they're not really stopping.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
And grow out of that.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
I'm single and dating and no, not.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
All topics like I can give you.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
A relationship now, not.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
For me, for her.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Sorry, I can oh well tips on dates.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I was on Bumble but I got off that I
did a week and it just.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Goes dating side. I know it's trying to get me
on Bumble and I don't even know, but.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
We joke about it, but I just had to go
and then I got off.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I need to see your instagram.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
To it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I'm going to check it out.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I find when I'm out and guys, you know, they'll
come up and chat in that and I do sometimes
get that that I come across as intimidating, and but
I don't do you don't want no, But I don't
mind that they say that because and then I think
you're not the person for me, and you've got your
power to handle the depth in conversation that I would like.
(18:48):
So I just go, thank you, you've learned. Yeah, you
tell me who you are exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Or they could be really sensitive and really shy and
really you know, it's like like no, it's you've got
a job. Of course you're intimidating.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's like, yeah, wow, do you know what I do.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I'm not thinking about TikTokers, I'm talking about us. Yeah, differently,
even on time change with mine.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
This is the other, the other part that I've noticed
with you. So you do you start off a bit
shy but actually very playful.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Listen, when I was a kid, I would walk in
a room. I didn't know whether I was going to
get punched or whatever, so I never look at anybody.
So once I trust you, like I've always been like this,
but nobody let me.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Once you you're gained someone's tress, so you feel comfortable
with somebody and I can't shut you up.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah, actually taken over the show.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
But I do some ideas about a couple of topics. Okay, yeah, dating, Yes,
asked me questions about guys, and then let's do this. Okay,
let's set up a dating show. I want to see
people I'm mediate like I've talked to them both, and
(20:07):
then which one goes on the best date?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, hasn't that been already on TV?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
It's different real life.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Have you got a single mates.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I just arrived yesterday, But listen, you've got likes to
use a friends guys. Listen, anybody are you straight? Really? Okay?
So good? I was of my girlfriends are street?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
But come on, I'm willing to change.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You guys, guys, street girls and girls not straight. It
doesn't matter to a guy as much.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I just wanted to know if you had any single straight.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Male, how young do you want to go?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yes, okay please?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
So I am playing forty seven, I'm probably like someone
in their forties. I'd like a man that's already had kids,
because then I'm not going to feel pressured have kids
with because I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But I'm happy to get young.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I'm fifty seven, but I can go down to forty
thirty seven.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Maybe just looking at me like what I'm don't think
who my street friends are under forty that don't have kids?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I have kids, said have listen, Yeah, and they've got
to be single in relationships.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Definitely definitely single people. But let's figure it out. We'll
call it something fun.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Oh okay, this back to our podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
That good everybody. We're trying to think you. I have
a drink of my life juice life juice.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
You like that?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I love it?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
He's going to We're going to see him with the
wagon wheel.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
This is it? Yeah? Because I had a Mini one
and that would put in there.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I would how good are many wagon wheels.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Have you done the team time thing?
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I'm not Coop yet, but I'm going to do either
end of the Tim Tam And we were just talking
about that like forty minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
It's have you done that fucking tim Tam thing? That's
how we're talking now you hear.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Yes, it can't be Australian.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
He's a bloody wad chop.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That's it. That's it, that's it, all right? Can I
ask another question? Completely different? Do you want to.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Man?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Seriously? All right, here's one one.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It's going to get a little bit deep. All right,
you're ready, finish your drink? Swallow that done?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Ready?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
No?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
No one say a word? Please, nobody say a word. Right,
here's a question.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What is your favorite quote or words you live by?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
You do know? Aid?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Right?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yep, it's gonna make it even more fun.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, So it's one of those questions. Yeah, yeah, okay.
It is like when I meet people and want them
to be here. They are not what they think I
want them to be or what they should be. I
just want them to be more authentic. I think authenticity
speaks a lot. So if you're like funk around saying
I'm going to the store. You don't go to the
(23:13):
store then you you know what I mean. It's like
it's it comes down, it breaks down to stuff like that.
But like do you find them?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
There's a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm obviously going to encounter a lot of people who
aren't authentic around you, because you know, you're.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
So much anywhow like people. I mean, yes, but I've
had the same friends for thirty years. But when I
was younger, I thought everybody had my best intentions when
I'm over there, and that's I had to learn that.
But now I don't do anything unless I want to
do it or or if it's the right motivation. But
you know, there are people around, but I'm a hermit mostly.
(23:49):
That's an act Most actors are like that. But as
far as this, this whole new medium stuff, it's a
whole this I'm learning like as I go, so yep, yeah,
so so thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Well you're welcome and you take your class. Anytime after
having this shirt, you could definitely have your own show. Yeah,
it'd be a lot of swearing. Yeah, that's the appeal.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
It's like when it's only to speak to Australians, then
it happens it's nobody is like with Astra interviews like
it just it happens, and we use it in a
different context. So sometimes to other people it sounds a
lot harsher than it really, or a lot more despeakable,
degrading or whatever. Wody sort of told me to be dems.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's it. It's part of every day.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
But you have to sort of no one, it's tolerated.
What's not? What's the question?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Lovely didn't meet you guys.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Oh, he's so much.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Wrapping it up.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
That was That was the first time I wanted to
I wanted to try that one.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Oh that's a practice for you.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh my god, how did it go?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
It was funny. He I knew he was about to
play trick on me, which I don't like tricks. So
my publicists told me at the time he wanted me
to save him an audience. Poe Basting went through to
his desk and took over the show, and then I
gave mouth to mouth and his nose and his chicks.
It's funny. At the time. My nickname is the mister
(25:14):
men books.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, which one?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Are you mischief?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Whatever?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Again?
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
But it's funny because both booth productions. I would do
earlier on Please, I would get that book. At the
end of the run, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (25:29):

Speaker 4 (25:34):
