Thank you so much for joining us today We have a very special episode for you today A serious one We don't often We're not often very serious Often people listen to our podcast They think it's crazy. Some people have called it shit.

Yeah, unlistenable. So we are going to talk about something very special, very near and dear to us. It's a TV show that we made. And we're very excited about it. And so we're going to do a bit more of a serious podcast. And we're very excited about it. And so we're going to do a bit more of a serious podcast. Well, not serious, but a bit more in earnest, some would say,

as we talk about and introduce the world to our new sitcom that we made. We play some sad piano music. Why? Because Sincere suggests, you know, like. Sincere doesn't have to be sad. Yeah, yeah. But what you're saying, I'm like, oh, fuck, let's lock in. All right, let's do this.

Yeah, it's very like heavy. I don't mean it to be heavy. I can keep it up. I just, I mean, for me personally, we've discussed this off the podcast. But ever since, I think we should just be real here. Ever since the, ever since the Always Sunny podcast, where they just. Talk about it. Like they just let it out. We've decided to do the same. So earlier today, Mark really wanted to do a serious podcast.

He always wants to fucking do serious podcasts. He wants to deep dive. He always wants to deep dive. And I was like, that's for the Patreon. He discovered WTF by Mark Maron last week and he was like, why aren't we doing this? And I said, that's for the Patreon. He discovered WTF by Mark Maron last week and he was like, why aren't we doing this? And I said, that's for the Patreon, man. And then Mark, you know, you're always just going, let's do a serious podcast.

Let's do a serious podcast. And that's not what we do. Yeah. And that's what makes us special. Yeah. That's what makes us good. Yeah. But you just never, you always want to do serious podcasts in front of the paywall

in front of yeah and i think what's wrong with that is my question to you um i just think we should be goofy and silly well why don't you be goofy and silly and uh and broden and i will do you bring it up i think you do you didn't want to do serious, did you? You just want to be sincere. Yeah, it's not about being serious. It's not about no jokes. Yeah. I love a gag.

Just work out. Like no jokes. But not serious. No, not serious. Just in earnest. Okay, great. Just one where there's no jokes. Okay, great. See, but this is what I'm worried about

What? You just said no jokes I didn't mean no jokes I don't know man Because this is the thing right Initially you were like we should do a deadly serious one Talk about like ins and outs Yeah

And then you're like but it'd still be funny Yeah But I don't trust that it'd still be funny. I think you felt some pushback. This is coming off as too real. You're doing the always sunny thing. I'm doing the always sunny thing. Because you always do this.

There's an episode. You always get fucking the always sunny. Since you've seen the always sunny. Can I just jump in? Yeah, jump in. In the It's Always Sunny podcast, I believe they just go through and talk through all their episodes. Episode, episode, episode.

And I point out to you guys, there's an episode where Charlie Day and Rob McKinnery. Rob McKinnery. McKinnery. McKinnery. McKinnery. McKinnery. Mack have quite an open, serious conflict about creativity.

The creative process. And I watched it and I went, that makes me feel a bit sick. It's the, it is, I imagine what it feels like for a metal band that's been around for 20 years to watch Some Kind of Monster. Yeah. Watching that clip is what it feels like for a comedy group. Anyway. This is the Some Kind of Monster.

We're going to do a, because Coffee Cafe comes out this week on ABC Australia. Does it? Yes, it does. Or last week. Do we know when this is coming out? It comes out today-ish. No.

Maybe it could. I don't know. Stop doing this. All right. Let's do a fun look at our –. We're interviewing ourselves about the series. It's a bit of fun. Take it away, Mark. So we made a show.

Sorry, time out. Time out. It's called. Sorry, Mark. What? You insisted that this would still be light and funny. Look, I love music. When music gets in me, the emotion of the music comes out.

Yeah. So it's not really my fault, is it, that this is going to be the tone of the podcast now? If something fun and upbeat was played, maybe it'd be a bit more exciting, but I go where the music takes me. I have synesthesia. Yeah.

Okay, yeah. So, we made a show. I don't even know if it's any good. I don't know. We made a show. It's called Coffee Cafe, and we're going to interview ourselves about it today, and we're not going to be mean to each other. Yeah, we'll go around. Let's go around and ask each other a show. It's called Coffee Cafe. And we're going to interview ourselves about it today. And we're not going to be mean to each other.

Yeah, we'll go around. Let's go around and ask each other a question. A question about the show. I just want to be clear to anyone listening. I was just doing a parody of another podcast. Yeah. Me and Mark agreed. We all agreed to do this podcast.

And I agreed to be a bit grumpy. Yeah. It's okay. I don't want people listening and thinking we actually fought. I love you, man. I love you too. I don't want people listening and thinking we actually fought. I love you, man. I love you too. I love you too. No, I love you.

I love you. So much, man. And you're like the brother I never had. You have… You're Patrick. I love Patrick. Yeah, I've got one brother. Just one. I feel like the music's upsetting them.

Yeah, it's really... Cut the music. Cut the music. Cut the music. I have a question for you. I have a question for you. Well, I asked you first. Ask at the same time.

No. That's silly. Okay. You're too silly? On three, we'll do it at the same time. So we are doing it at the same time. Yeah. You just said it was too silly.

Yeah, but I guess we're gone. I thought we were allowing a little bit of silliness. Okay. On three, we'll do it at the same time. So we are doing it at the same time. Yeah. You just said it was too silly. Yeah, but I guess we're gone. I thought we were allowing a little bit of silliness. Okay. On three we'll ask our same question. One, two, three. What's the show about? What's your question for me? What's the show about?

Great question. The show is about us, Zach, Broden, Mark. We run a cafe. Yes. And why did we make this show? Are you just going to ask me questions? Do you want to ask me a question? Okay.

Why did we make this show? You always do this. What does he always do? You always fucking do this. Every fucking time. Why are you like this? Oh, shit. Cut like this? Oh shit. Cut that.

The fuck is your problem? I'm sorry. Cut the music. That makes Mark emotional. It does. Cut the music. Ask me a question. Why did we make this show?

Well, I wouldn't know why you made the show. He's doing a silly character. We really struggle with sincerity. No, I've got to, I don't know why you made the show. Oh, he's doing a silly character. We really struggle with sincerity. I don't know why you made the show. All I know is that I've got the longest legs in South Yarra. What? Are you a character? Yes. What's the character?

Mr. Longleg. All right, Mr. Longlegs. That's your birth name? We've got a new character, folks. They're here this week to talk about they were born 15 seconds ago as a way of keeping a sincere podcast light. Please welcome Mr. Longlegs from South Yarra, who knows everything about Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe.

Yeah. My legs are seven foot long. Were you an executive producer on the show? No. Ah, fucking hell. So I can explain his backstory. Oh. But I need sad music.

The backstory, he was born in war-torn Long Legaville. Yeah. 15 seconds ago. And he came to Melbourne, South Yarra particularly. And his only existence is knowing all the information about Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe. He has a lot of fun and joy in his life. So he brings something that's like a sincere podcast.

He brings fun to it. So thank you. Yes. Where can I watch Coffee Cafe? I don't know. Cut the music. You know everything about Auntie Donna's Coffee Cafe. That's your character.

Mr. Longlegs. It's inherent in your soul. It's your character. Mr. Long Legs. It's inherent in your soul. It's your spark. Whoa, whoa, whoa. My legs are long. Yes. Too long. They sound too long.

That's 50% of what you are, right? You've got long legs. That's half of who you are. The other half is you know everything about Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe, which is on air right now on ABC iView-ish. On air now? It's on air now? You can watch them all.

On free to air? We don't know when we're putting this out in the release. But Long Legs does? It's on ABC iView. I moved to South ERA. It's not on air right now. If you're watching it on iView, that's the way streaming works. We're on air right now on Netflix.

We're on air right now on YouTube. We're on air right now on people. We're on air right now. Okay. On people's podcasts. I'm still thinking free to air. Yeah, I would probably go with Mark on this one. The long legs, this is not what you're an expert in. I'm just saying you have to time it. I'm an expert in air.

What? In air? I'm up in the sky. My long legs are so long. For those of you listening, you'll see it on the Patreon. This is a character who has seven foot long legs. So he's not a seven foot tall. He's, say, he's probably about 11 foot tall.

As tall as an avatar. As tall as an avatar. And based on the character description, there are people with longer legs just in the next suburb, potentially. Because you said you have the longest legs in South Yarra. I wouldn't know. I know there's no one taller in Richmond across the bridge. Because you can see.

Yeah. And I can step over the river. Well, the seven-foot legs wouldn't be able to do that. On the bridge. There's a footpath. Anyone can do that. Whoa. Sorry, there was a gust of wind.

Mr. Longlegs. Mr. Longlegs, who Longlegs Who's been born purely To talk about Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe Coming to ABC tonight It's a show we wrote Acted in And directed

And directed We directed it Mr. Longlegs What's What's Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe about? I answered that Okay

Well I want to know from him Alright I just I just want to know from him now. Alright. I just want to start easy with him because I asked him one question and he didn't know

but this character has been made purely to express information about Aunty Donna's coffee cafe so I just want to start

soft for this character but he needs to I just thought I did a pretty good job of answering it. Yeah, no, great. Maybe he was listening and he can answer too. Mr. Longlegs.

What? Mr. Longlegs, tell us a little bit about what Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe is. Before I get into that, I want to say one thing. One thing. Yes, Mr. Longlegs. I'm a daddy, but I'm not a daddy, Longlegs. I'm not a daddy, Longlegs, but I am a daddy. Damn.

All right, that's fucking. So Mr. Longlegs is sort of barreling the camera. Biting his bottom lip. Maybe this is what, I think this is what Zach wants is the sort of cut up bit for socials Maybe this will be on the socials bit. Do you want to do that again? Just play with that a little bit. I don't know which one's my close-up.

Just take a guess. Take a gamble. I'll do it twice. Yeah. So now what's going to happen is Mr. Longlegs is going to do sort of like a sexual eye to camera. He's going to do the same line twice. Yeah.

One for the wide camera in this room for Patreon and socials and one to his tight shot. Can you guys ask me? Can you say, Mr. Longlegs? We've got to talk about the show. Just say, Mr. Longlegs. We will talk about it.

We wrote a sitcom. In our opinion, the best thing we've ever made. It's like our last show but it has a bit more storyline to it. It's got character. And we have to go to an ad. I'm assuming we have to go to an ad right now. All right. Long Legs will come back after this ad break.

And you can just go straight into him doing his daddy bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. And we'll see you after the break. Yes, that's right. My name is Mr. Long Legs because I've got legs that are seven foot long. But my first name isn't Daddy. Your first name isn't.

Yeah, because I'm not a Daddy Longlegs, but I am a Daddy. You didn't bite your lip. You got to do the bite. You got to do the. Now you just look. Now you just look So you fucked that one Yeah

It's fine, it's not an important part of the episode I really would like to get it right I really think it's important And also, before that, can you explain What a daddy is Um An older man Who has a sort of sexual energy, um, sort of co-opted from

the gay community. Um, now it's broader than that. Uh, it's just sort of a man, maybe 30 plus who, who is, uh. Could be a daddy. Doesn't necessarily have to be a dad. No. Could be a dad. Doesn't necessarily have to be a dad.

Pedro Pascal is famously a daddy who doesn't have children. Pedro's a daddy? I would say so. And he says so, yeah. He says so? Yeah. He's tall. He's so tall.

Also, are you outside? What? Are you outside? You keep talking about how a gust of wind is knocking you about. He doesn't know. You don't know? Don't get into canon. I didn't think this. This is just trying to keep it light. He doesn't know. You don't know? Don't get into canon. I didn't think this.

This is just trying to keep it light. I didn't think we'd stay on the track for that long. Okay, I'm resetting. We're here with Mr. Longlegs. He's a daddy, but not a daddy Longlegs. Yes. Yes. Sorry.

I'm sorry I said no. Don't question me on the camera. I'm sorry I said no. He knows everything about Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe coming to iview tonight. Potentially. Potentially. Now, Mr. Longlegs, how'd you get so tall?

I was born tall. And what are the six episodes about? I, uh, I didn't realize you'd send the email with the link. Yeah, just all right. You've not watched the show. You exist only. You exist only to talk about the show. You have not watched the show. Is that correct?

How about this? How about this? How about this? How about this? How about this? How about this? Can you talk about the difference between Aunty Donna's Big Old House of Fun and this show? It doesn't matter if you've seen it or not.

Just go off your gut feeling. This one's more narrative. Right. It's pretty good. Is it like, is it full narrative? No, I think Auntie Donna are experimenting with sort of what they do with sketches and how they push them into the extreme. They're doing the same thing with that as well.

I'm just trying to get a vibe on what's going on here. This is Mr. Longlegs. Are you sad? Yeah. Oh, no. Why? Mr. Longlegs is sad. Why?

Everyone thinks everything I do is about my long legs. Don't think I moved to South Yarra because they started building towers in that suburb. But I didn't. I moved there because I was a big fan of Adriano Zumbo. Adriano Zumbo is a... ..facetious chef from Sydney. Famously, Widel Jankovic does not know who Zumbo is.

And he... That podcast nine months ago. He built, he built, he put his flagship Melbourne store in South Yarra and I moved to that suburb just so I could have his delicious macarons. It's not there no more. What happened? It was a bad location. George Columbaris and that French guy from My Kitchen Rules

also tried to open restaurants in that location. It just had no street frontage. All right. I imagine the rent was really high. Did you plan on eating macaroons every day? Oh, didn't you know? When your legs are seven foot tall, you don't need protein. I live solely on macarons and sugary treats.

Do you know anything about the Coffee Cafe show? Do you know anything? No. Cut the music. Well, fuck. Well, Broden and I know a bit about it. Why don't you ask us? Yeah.

Because I imagine you'd be curious about the show if you don't know anything about it. So why don't you ask Broden and I questions. We'll answer any questions you got about Aunty Donna's new sitcom. Sure. Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe on ABC iView yesterday. I believe it came out yesterday. It's out there. It's on now, but I believe it came out yesterday. It's out there.

It's on now, but I believe it came out yesterday. Whatever you're watching or listening to this on, details are below. Yeah. Also, whatever you reckon, I'm happy to deal with that.

Yeah, go watch it now because... If it's out. It might not be out yet. This might be like a teaser. That's what I'm saying. The information's below the podcast, Mr. Tall.

Mm. Yeah. Now, Mr. Tall. Now, Mr. Longlegs, what questions do you have about the show? Is there PUD in it? Is there PUD in the show? Now, why do you ask that? That's all I've seen. You've seen PUD? You've seen the PUD video?

I wish it on the tree. You've seen PUD. You've seen PUD. You've seen the PUD video. I wish it on the tram. So you were born. You got on a tram. You came here. You watch a fuck. I better watch a quick video. PUD came up.

Did you like PUD? Yeah. I don't think you liked it. Did you just do that in your office? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's very popular. Mr. Longlegs apparently likes high production value.

Is that right? Well, we got heaps of it. You should check out the 1999 series or the Glenridge Secondary College series. Or better yet, Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe. On iview now. On iview, maybe. Ask us about the guests on the show. Yeah, or something. Just anything. Stop being a the guests on the show. Yeah, or something.

Just anything. Stop being a cunt. Who? Just being a real cunt about it. I know you got long legs, but it's no excuse for just being an abhorrent cunt. How'd you get on the tram with your long legs? I was waiting for someone to ask that. I wanted to ask about. I go foot first and I go, whoa.

If you're living in South, if you're living in South, yeah, I imagine, I don't know what you do for work, but I imagine you're living in an apartment. I don't know why. I do. I live in the Capitol building. In the Capitol building. I mean, now I don't know how tall the roofs are. I wanted to ask about your ceiling height.

I did want to ask all that, but you've decided to be a loathsome cunt. And all I want is to be asked some questions about our show. That we all have a mutual benefit from talking about. Yes. No, I don't. And which you exist purely to talk about yet can't for some reason. Because I haven't watched it. But you have.

You have. You have. You have. I haven't. You have. No. Don't ignore the layer in which you have. I'm not going to go into why.

You have. I haven't watched it. You have watched it, Zach. I'm sat in edits with you. Zach, you've watched it. I haven't. I haven't watched it. You have watched it, Zach. I'm sat in edits with you. Zach, you've watched it. I haven't. I haven't watched it. You've given huge notes on the show.

And if you, in the edit process, you gave a lot of notes. If you haven't watched it, but were giving notes, hugely damaging to the product. Well, I was there for the shooting. Yeah, but how could you respond to edits? Oh, I was there for the shooting. Yeah, but how could you have responded to edit? Oh, not sure about that cut there. Would look at maybe, you know, shortening that or expanding that. Shit like minute details. Well, you just have a guess.

Have a guess? So you just go, oh, I think there could be a bit more improv in that scene. Could you cut that first half of it down? That's a good point. That's a good point. It's a good point. You're still ingrained. All right, explain. You did a full restructure of episode six.

Yeah. You went through. You went, I want to go in and restructure episode. Act two of episode six. You went in. You moved some things around. Yeah. Yes.

How'd you do that? Did you see me in the room doing that? I was away. I was away. I was away. But I saw the- I saw a couple of scenes, mate. Wow. I didn't say that no one else was not in on it.

Well, that's a huge reveal to our audience. This show was edited by a madman. A true madman who just wanted to watch the world burn. Who would give notes without having seen any of it. Why did you do that? Why did I do that? Because I didn't want to watch it. Great.

You wanted to wait until it was out. I wanted to experience it firsthand with the audience. Yeah. Right. I wanted to be sitting there with the audience day one, which was yesterday or next week or last week. So when we did test screenings, when we brought in our friends and you were in the room and we watched episodes,

just to gauge whether people were laughing or not, what was your experience of those afternoons? What was my experience when I was in the room? Watching the episodes. What's your memory of me in the room? You were sitting next to me. I remember he those he had you had glasses on which you don't wear and they had eyes in my big your eyes were open broden what color are my eyes well they're a beautiful blue now what color were my eyes through the glasses on that day pierce yellow yes

you weren't watching the show you did you piss in your own eyes to blind yourself? No, sorry, cut the music No, he got fake eyes put onto some glasses For some reason the eyes Whose eyes did you take? I just got them from a magazine From a magazine? I think they were... From a magazine.

I think they were Victoria Beckham's. Her piss yellow eyes. We all know Victoria Beckham has piss yellow eyes. Fuck, there goes her as a guest. Oh, God. I should have called her turmeric spice. Turmeric. Turmeric. turmeric can make things yellow and

barocco rise but barocco can be orange no but barocco can be orange or but the piss what colours your piss when you're barocco depends what you've

drunk no always yellow yeah always yellow yeah I, yellow. Always, always yellow. Yeah. Always yellow. Yeah. I think yellow and orange are so close to each other. They're so close to each other on the color spectrum

that this is actually a redundant debate. No. No. If it's a deep, dark yellow, then it's bordering on an orange. Colors are divisions. No. Colors are divisions. We create societally.

It's all wavelengths, man. No. Yellow, orange. A's all wavelengths, man. No. Yellow, orange, a deep, dark yellow is an orange. You can both be right. No. I just don't think you need to have this argument. They are different. They are different.

We need some rock and roll music because I want to just quickly get this show back on track. I'm going to go top 10 things in the show because it came out last night and everyone's loving it. Oh, they are loving it. It is huge. The tweets have been huge. Yeah. And everyone reviewing it on IMDb was really valuable. So set your clocks.

One week to go. No, it's out. It's out tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Great. Thank you, James.

James Blake. Why is it that every time I hear James's name, I think he has the same name as someone famous? You just made that up. There's no one called James Blake. There's no one called James Blake? Yeah, that's not true. Is it?

Yeah, I don't know. Every time I hear James Blake, I go, that's the name of someone famous. But is there no? Who am I thinking? James Blake is a producer of our show at the moment. Doing a wonderful job. Thank you.

An incredible job. Currently finding rock and roll music. Oscar was a producer and couldn't be here. Had to hang out with Sophie Monk. No, there's no one

called James Blake. And if you're going to say anything contrary to that, James, I would just look for that rock and roll music. No, is there? No need to Google it, Mark. Are you gaslighting me?

No. No, we're not. I think you're just a little crazy. That's all. He's an English musician, you fucking cucks. Oh, James Blake. Oh, James Blake. Oh, James Blake.

You fucking piece of shit. Mark. And whoever you want to play. I'm Zach. I am Zach. Okay. Top 10 things about the show. Go.

I have to do all 10 or we go around and we make 10 up together? Everyone's going to have 10? Yeah. Do I go one and then Zach goes one and then you go one? You're 10. And then we go to two? From number 10. Go.

You need me to do, so 10 being the best or 10 being the worst? Worst. The worst, but I enjoy all of them. Wait a second. I'm going to. Infinite amount of things you could enjoy about the show. Top 10 is still good. Top 10 is still good. And I'm going to... Infinite amount of things you could enjoy about the show. Top ten is still good. Top ten is still good.

And I'm going ten, nine, eight. And I'm going all the way down to one. Number ten. And then when I'm done, we go on to Zach. And then Zach, yeah. And then we go on to you. Go. Go now.

There's one good thing about the show. No, no, no, no. There's more. There's more. Wait a second. Stop the music. Play the sad music. Mark, how come the only thing you can think of about this show is the writing process?

Come to think of it, how come you were wearing glasses with piss yellow eyes during the entire filming process? Because, Zach, I died. Oh, wow. Okay. Mark's been dead since we wrote the show. Yeah. This is a new canon. Yeah.

After we wrote the show, I died. Is this number nine for you, by the show. Yeah. This is New Canon. Yeah. After we wrote the show, I died. Is this number nine for you, by the way? Yeah. And I had my cousin weekend at Bernie's me through all of the shooting until they could figure out how to bring me back so that the company could keep going and the show could keep going. But every night, every night in my dreams, you would give me...

Mark. Yeah. Cool. That's why you smell in season... You remember week three, I kept saying, Mark smells like old meat. Yeah, he did. I was rotting.

You went that grey. But the make-up came saying, Mark smells like old meat. Yeah, you did. I was rotting. You went that grey. But the make-up team did an incredible job. So were they in the know? Did you have to pull them aside? Once maggots started crawling out of my mouth, they thought something was up. But here's the thing. You've had maggots crawling out of your mouth since well before,

so I didn't think anything of it. Yeah, yeah. So that's good to know. So Mark, Zach didn't do the thing. You've had maggots crawling out of your mouth since well before, so I didn't think anything of it. Yeah, yeah. So that's good to know. So Mark, Zach didn't do the edit. Mark was dead for the shoot. These are fun facts. Shoot and the edit, it turns out. No, no, no.

I was back to the edit. Oh. Hit it. Number eight. Number eight. No. Yeah, eight. Number eight.

People brought us coffees. They were so nice to us. When we made web series, no one brings you a coffee. No one brings you a coffee. In this one, there was a runner, Eric. Which is a, if're like not In the film In the film biz They walk when they bring you the coffee Yes

Yeah yeah yeah Eric They walk to you He has a little brewery They don't run the whole time In Fitzroy Eric Number one

Sweet boy Lovely boy Number one Great man Number one Sweet boy and a lovely man Number one Was getting to make something

A little bit different. Beard against the microphone. Bombshell. Do that again. Making something a little bit different. Is that a bombshell sound effect? Yeah, it's a little bombshell sound effect. Jesus Christ.

Did you think that his beard rubbing against the microphone sounded like an explosion? I thought it was like a... No, that's an explosion. Wow. I just accidentally touched hands with Mark. Do you want to hear my top ten? We don't have time.

I think we have time. I can do them real quick. I can do them real quick. All right, real quick. Number ten. Number 10. Number 10. I loved how we kind of extended the take in that opening rude song. We kind of kept it on the two shot,

and I think that created a tension that really created some fun. That's Morning Brown. Number nine. I loved when we took the scene in the middle of the scary episode. There was a really long scene. We split it in half. I think that created a much better structural sense of how it worked. No, no, the scary one of the ABC show.

Oh, yeah. We have a scary ABC one. Number eight. Number eight. Oh, I've got to say, I really liked when we took out a few lines in the second half of the last episode. And I realized in that moment that characters can communicate through action, through movement, rather than just words. So you've seen it. You've seen it.

This is edit stuff. This is stuff we did in the edit. Number six. Number six. You've seen the fucking show. You've absolutely seen the show. All your stuff had to do with the minutia Of the Number 5

Cut the music And put on the sad music Because Yeah Yeah Mark I have seen the edit And I'm sorry

Number 4 I'm sorry No Broden Yeah okay let's keep going Number 5 No keep playing the sad music Before the music kicks in on that rock song Number four. I'm sorry. No, Broden. Yeah, okay. Let's keep going. Number five. Play that little drum intro before the music kicks in on that rock song. But then go back to the sad music because I've got a dramatic. Number five.

Feeling like I have to lie to my friends. No one asked you to lie. So they think I'm cool. What? Like I didn't watch the edit? I thought he was 20% cooler when he said he didn't do the edit. Why? I don't know.

I was like, fuck. I mean, that's a ruse. That is a ruse for the ages. Number four. Number four sitting in that edit room. Oh, my God. Every second or third day. And contributing here and there with notes and different ideas.

And then being told that I have to lie by someone in this room who I will not name number three what okay number three one of the two of you told me that I had to lie and say I wasn't involved in the edit who said that and why oh shit that is a bombshell. I love not realising something's a bombshell until the bombshell. That's the same. You know the film by Jay Roach, Bombshell, about Fox News. Of course, Margot Robbie. I was like, what the fuck is this? The whole film, what the fuck's going on?

And then famously at the end there's a bomb goes off and you're like, ah. And that was a bombshell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a bombshell. Who, why would anyone do that? And why would either of us do it and it wasn't me? That was a bombshell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a bombshell. Who, why would anyone do that? And why would either of us do it and it wasn't me? That was a lie as well. Number two, sad music.

Oh, it's both. Yeah, just play both. Number two, feeling like you have to lie to cover your own lie. Number one, it would be a bit up because it's a bit rocky as well. This is very that Like Radiohead Beautiful sadness vibe I would say

That I really like The Dillinger escape plan Is what I would say It's got a bit Yeah yeah yeah It's a bit mathy Number one is Lying to your friends

And them forgiving you anyway Yeah I love this show And I'm so proud of Everything we've done together Yeah I only have one My top

Cut this shit Cut the fucking music I just had a realisation Before you do your top ten I'm proud of everything we've done together. I only have one. My top. Cut this shit. Cut the fucking music. I just had a realization before you do your top ten. Do you need sand music? No, no, no. It's just a quick thing. When is our show coming out? It's out today.

Or tomorrow. We're recording this a little earlier. It could have been last week. It's not coming out the same. We're not competing with Ant-Man Quantumania, are we? I don't think so. And if we were, I wouldn't be that concerned. Because people aren't going to watch the TV.

They're all going to be at the theaters watching Ant-Man Quantumania. Potentially, but there will be time when they're not doing that. I don't know, man. And in that insurmountable amount of time. People are back since Top Gun Maverick. People are back in the theater. Top Man Maverick. Top Gun Maverick. People are back in the theatre. Top Man Maverick. Top Man Maverick. You can't wear those skinny pants.

It's Top Shop for Men. That cool printed shirt. That cool shirt with the floral print and tight trousers. You can't wear that. You're too old. Goddammit Maverick, you are the best. You can't wear that. You're too old. God damn it. God damn it, Maverick. You are the best. You are top man. How are you at 60? Pull it off. Anyway.

Those boat shoes. I only have one that encompasses my whole top 10. No? Yeah. In the episode where it's the blueberry burglar episode for people go and watch. We have extras in that episode. And we had Richard Roxburgh in that episode.

Give it away. Give it away now. Just in case people haven't seen it. Oh, the Red Hot Chilies. Yes. The Red Hot Chilies. Anyway. And then we did it one day.

The extra was there. This is not the Red Hot Chilies. This is the Red Hot Chilies. This is the Red Hot Chilies. is the Red Hot Chili's, man. Give it away. Give it away. Give it away, babe. Give it away.

Give it away. Give it away. Give it away, yeah. And that extra, when Richard Roxburgh was there, I overheard her say, I'll keep up with this. She went, oh, they've got Richard Roxburgh. That's good for them.

That's my favorite bit of the whole process of making the show. I have a bit. You did your top ten. Can I just do your nine? Broden only did one, and you won an eleventh. Yeah, but I feel like we've got to pat it out. If anything, it's… You do my nine, your eleventh.

Nine eleventh. You're in that suck. You do the nine eleventh, and then I'll take it out with a song by the Red Hot Chilies. Okay, great. And thank you, and we hope you enjoy the show. We really like it. We hope you like it too.

Please watch it a lot and tell your friends to watch it. During that same scene, the extras, there was one extra who was sitting in front of me who there's a reveal in that episode. There's something that happens at the end. And they- Hitler comes out. Hitler comes out and apologizes.

Just straight up goes, shouldn't have done that. It's moving. And you know what's most interesting about that is none of that's in the show. None of that is in the show. But what is in the show is there is an extra who upon the reveal, the big reveal at the end of the episode, insisted that their character was so shocked that they must stand up.

And they were sitting right in front of me. They just stand up. Their character is so shocked they stand up. And it's one of my favorite offers in the entire show. Is it in the show? It is in the show. I made it into the air. Great offer.

Yeah. It's your highlight of the show. I love it. This show is our favorite show we've made, I think. Is that fair to say? We've only made two. Plus everything ever. Oh, you're counting all the other stuff.

In terms of everything we've ever done. I like PUD. PUD is up there. Well, obviously PUD, and then... It goes PUD, this podcast. I've had so much fun. This is one for the ages. Mr. Longlegs.

And then Auntie Donna's Coffee Cafe. We've got to go. And you've got to go. Watch our show, please. We beg you. And then I'll take it out. And then Zach's going to close out with a song by the Red Hot Chilies. Just play that rock track.

And we'll see you next week. And enjoy the show. Give it away. Give it away. Give it away. Yeah. Give it away. Give it away. Give it away. Give it away. Yeah. Give it away. Give it away.
