It's like the day before Friday feels good. 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.680 I think just because I know that Ira is coming out. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.199 That's why I. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.760 Like, that's what drives you for the entire week.

I just 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.240 haven't because obviously we moved to OZ and my Muori 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.240 family stayed here. I just didn't get the like honor 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.719 of like growing up with my Maori side and like 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.400 getting to learn the traditions and all of it, which 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.920 I really wish I did. But something of your control, Yeah, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.200 stay out of my control. But I'm very much someone 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.280 included a. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.200 Lot of like Maudi that I know that have moved 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.680 or grown up in Australia. That's like a very similar 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:56.400 she had experience. But then I can also see why 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.320 when you come back to musical and you're like, I'm yes, 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:00.000 this is your. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.280 Is one thing. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:06.960 I have a lot of cousins who live in Australia, 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.679 all across Australia, and they say that, like there's not 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.679 a lot of culture in Australia in terms of like 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.440 Pacific or like Simon culture. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.600 Have you had a similar experience or do you feel 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.280 quite like strong? I feel like I feel like if 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.520 you were to compare it, then there's not a lot 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.360 because it's all I really know. I feel like it's strong. 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.520 I feel like the presence is strong because like obviously 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.400 we have a lot of other cultures as well. But 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.839 you know, for me, it's been it's been okay. I 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.880 think it also depends on the area you're in because 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.839 there's like, like for a Melbourne example, there's like South 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.640 and West is where all the islanders are based. So 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.319 if you're in there you will feel it strongly, but 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.000 if you're anywhere else you feel nothing. Yeah, but yeah, 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:48.800 it's been okay for me. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.840 I think I love that so And it definitely depends 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.360 on your family, but it sounds there's a huge. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.520 And a lot of us. Yeah, a lot of us. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.120 I had no lack of. Yeah, someone presence in my life. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.360 I love, yeah very much in Melbourne, girly whatever spots 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.680 in Melbourne. If we're planning a trip and we want 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.800 to get in touch with some Melbourne culture, where where 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:12.520 are we to? 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.000 I don't want to see the along I. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:17.199 Need to go there. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.760 And literally. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.720 We're talking about I want to go South and West? 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:24.520 Where are we going? 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.160 You're going to? Probably where I grew up was like 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:32.120 poin Cookbe or like Hoppers crossing wind and Vale. Tanya 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.839 doesn't mean much to you guys when I say it, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.480 but because I have family. Yeah, Usually when people say, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.520 like I've got family in Melbourne, I'll just start naming 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.839 like the suburbs and they're like, yep, that's the one. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.520 I'm like, I guess that's how Ozzies must feel when 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.240 we say, yeah. 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.679 Those are all the ones I know, like because I 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.640 usually stay in who oh yeah, but this trip, I've 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.760 been staying in Henderson, and I'm like, I don't know 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.880 any of these suburbs that we're going through, like I 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:04.280 to like Toto like all that stuff. But I've been 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.760 learning how did I all come about? 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.840 And what were the vibes that you wanted to put 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.920 out into the universe? With Ile? 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.760 Oh gosh, with Ile, what was the first question? It 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.480 was it how did I come? How did it come about? 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.560 So I got some funding and I had to like 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.520 put together a concept and stuff to like what I 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.800 would use the funding for, which was I feel like 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.240 it's such a long story, Like I think I could 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.840 go back to like I don't know if you remember 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.360 poly Connection, which was like ages ago. So I started 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.920 as a collective in like twenty nineteen, which we had 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:43.120 Partia July, Craigie, Susanna who's a DJ now and moj 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:55.160 who's a Mormon. But yeah, so we started as a 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.360 collective in Melbourne in twenty nineteen, We're doing photo shoots 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.080 and stuff, nothing too deep. And then we went to 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.360 Sydney and I did another photo shoot with like Billy 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:12.560 Marie killing Me We Love killing Me Gyra. Yeah, like 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.680 some really just like people that I thought were really 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.520 cool and like not getting maybe the flowers that they deserved. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.120 And then twenty twenty was when I got the grant 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.320 and then we went into COVID. Yeah, so I started 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:29.080 it online and then and then at the end of 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.880 twenty twenty was when I like go did the print magazine. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.680 But it came about basically I was just like when 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.960 I was younger, like eighteen nineteen in the industry, I 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.680 just didn't feel like seeing people like us was common 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.240 in the media, and I just kept complaining about it. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.760 I was like, Eh, you know what, I'm just gonna 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.960 start a magazine. What no one else is gonna do, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.080 I'm gonna do it. So yeah, that's that's how it 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.320 started to be honest, and like I haven't done it 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.840 in a while, which I think is because I feel 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.920 like the people I would cover now are getting their 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.880 flowers now, so I feel like my job is not 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.000 needed or not needed maybe like it's being candled out, 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.240 like whereas before like people that I really wanted to 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.520 see like covered, Like I feel like our first articles 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:25.600 we did, like Daily Shaka Hoodsieish is a rapper from 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:30.080 from Sydney and Goldie. He's a graphic designer that does 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.120 like Luci and HP Boys. But it was just like 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.920 really cool people in our chamber that I just felt 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.560 like weren't like being celebrated. But now I see like 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:45.400 like Coconut'll cover them and like forsh TV. So I'm like, 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.640 my job's done. I like, I feel like it's good now. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:53.640 I feel like, yeah, I feel like like I'm almost redundant, 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.360 like you know what I mean. But yeah, that's how 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:57.880 it came about. I kind of just was just like 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.160 I'm sick of I'm sick of this. I'm sick of 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.440 not being seen by force what. 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.360 Yeah, because media representation of Basifica and OS, I don't 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.920 know much about that, but I do know a bit 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.040 about it here in New Zealand, and that's something that 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.560 we're working on. But even when I compare New Zealand 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.960 to Australia, I feel like we're leaps and bounds ahead. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.680 Yeah, we had that same chat with JP, and he 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.800 was saying in America even like they're craving it. They're 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:26.920 consuming the content that we produce here in New Zealand 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.800 and Australia, even if it's not actually relevant to their 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.800 experience in America, but just because they want to see 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.159 people who look like them. Yeah, exactly, It's wild and 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.080 that was kind of why we started the podcast as. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.240 Well, even say, your podcast is something that would like 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.320 covers people that I as well. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:47.600 Yeah, and also like wanting to platform more joy and 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.520 like creativity rather than we have a lot of history 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.480 that is very important to tell and like we've had 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.840 collective trauma and everything, but sometimes just platforming the really 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:03.200 nice things is like such an important representation for our people. 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:03.520 Yep. 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.720 Yeah, yeah, And even because we started the podcast, i'd 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:08.600 say twenty. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.400 Twenty one, twenty one, I feel. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.400 Twenty twenty one back then, like they weren't that many 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.479 poly podcasts and we were just crazy. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.120 Yeah, yeah, you guys are one of the first. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.639 Yeah, I don't even think the Morning Shift had started. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.600 Yeah, we didn't realize until we were like reflecting, were 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:28.800 like and. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:33.080 You guys are like charting immediately, Yeah, I think, Yeah, 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.800 people like finally finally and tuning and yeah, yeah, crazy. 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.240 And then we kind of went on a little. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.960 Yeah life, I get you. I did watch the JP 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.960 episode though, how people were like organizing their own screenings. Oh, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.520 like that's how badly they needed it. I was like, wow, 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:56.720 that is so cool. Like the States is definitely different. Yeah, 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.879 they have a lot of media, but I don't know 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.000 if they have a lot of media focused on us 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.359 over there. I'm not sure. Actually, how was it? 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.760 And Oz, did you see much of yourself on the 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.159 TV growing up and media? 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.159 Not really? I feel like whatever was popular here just 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.040 like we watched over there, but in terms of like 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.600 mainstream stuff, I don't think so. It wasn't. It was 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.439 more like just us tuning in here and watching everything 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:23.320 that happens here. 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.199 And the popular public figures would just be like our 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:27.359 players everyone. 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.000 I was thinking NRL players.
