Starting point is 00:00:00 Evening all. How's everyone doing? So my name is Brett and I'm one of the programmers here. And when we opened CineFamily's doors in 2007, this was kind of the sort of event idea that we had in mind. This was the kind of high concept yet blindingly silly thing that we just felt there was a real lack of in the city. Are Dan and Amanda here?
Starting point is 00:00:31 Can they stand up? Stand up. These are the two people that are the reason these guys are here. It was those two that really put the bug in my ear about listening to these guys' show. And to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first.
Starting point is 00:00:51 The idea sounded like something that I don't know if I wanted to devote my time to. But it turns out that they're a great comedic discovery. If you take away anything from their show and their experience, I think it's that they are a fully formed comic duo, whether they want to be or not at this point, that
Starting point is 00:01:10 knows each other really well, knows how to play off each other really well, and the most important thing is they listen to each other, which is what all good musicians and comedians should do. Everybody, give a round of applause for Tim Batten and Guy Montgomery. We can do it up there, sure. I want to lord over everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Hey! Thank you all so much. Look at this. You don't get this in New Zealand Thanks guys What the fuck are you all doing here? This is weird This is very strange But thank you very much for coming tonight
Starting point is 00:01:54 There's a lot of people who made it possible A round of applause please for Brett And all the fine folks here at Cinefamily This is really overwhelming for us. Literally a year ago today we were just in Tim's apartment
Starting point is 00:02:12 and we were stoned. Believe it or not. And we watched Grown Ups 2 for the first time and then we talked about it. And now this! Yeah. So high.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yeah, that's really crazy for us. So really, thanks to all of you so much. It's genuinely the most overwhelming experience of my life. We don't get out a whole lot in New Zealand, so this is pretty full on. But we don't really have anything prepared. I would like to just do a quick apology straight off the top. I've just realised that although I did
Starting point is 00:02:49 bring our third co-host, the knife, into America, I actually left it back at the house, which I'm really gutted about. But if anyone's coming to UCB, I'm going to bring the knife tomorrow. I'm sure they're really excited. You can all meet him. Everyone likes a knife guy. Don't encourage him.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It's good. No, America's a knife friendly place. I feel like if I was going anywhere, Los Angeles is a very accepting place for knives and knife guys. What he's trying to tell you is if anyone's looking to shank old Timbo tonight he's not armed.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I'll get you. I'm small but I'm sharp. He's quick. He's worry armed. I'll get you. I'm small, but I'm sharp. He's quick. He's wary. Does anyone want to know anything? So I figured the way this would go is that we do the Q&A with these guys first, and then we're going to watch Grown Ups 2.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Finally. Finally. How many people in this room have heard their podcast but not watched the film? Nice work! That's a lot! Good for you! You all took these guys' admonishment
Starting point is 00:03:52 really, really seriously. I like that. Because when this was first told to me that I needed to listen to this podcast I immediately downloaded Grown Ups 2 and I watched it because I felt if I was going to devote 28 hours worth of listening time of my life to them immediately downloaded Grown Ups 2 and I watched it because I felt if I was going to devote 28 hours worth of listening time of my life
Starting point is 00:04:08 to them, I kind of really wanted to know what they were talking about. That seems like quite a lot of time to spend with us, Brent. You've got to take a long hard look at your own life choices, friend. You feeling good about that, Brent? No regrets, huh? I'm pretty good. Love every moment, huh, Brent?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Love every day. I'm sorry we interrupted you. So we're going to talk some more with these guys. We're going to watch the film. We're going to take a patio break, a breather, some well-deserved fresh air after seeing The Run-Ups 2. And then we're going to come back and then they're going to tape their podcast finale.
Starting point is 00:04:42 So that's how it's going to go. Yeah. Cool. Okay. I've got a question for you, Guy. Okay, Tim. Do you like grown-ups too? And we laugh and laugh.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Trying to impress my opinion on you over the last 51 weeks, Tim. I don't really know what to say. I don't know. You've been very ambiguous and unclear to me. Acy's very vague. I haven't. What I'm wondering, you know... You tell me, Guy.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It seems rude to say it now, but I'm kind of... You know, we'll talk about this some more later, but I'm curious if Brett's got any questions. Oh, okay. I don't really care for talking to Tim. Or you guys. Or anyone else. Pretty much anyone but Tim Baird.
Starting point is 00:05:30 We've been spending a lot of time together on this trip. I'm open to taking questions from. I feel like there was a hand at the back, but I don't know. Sure, well, Brett, you drive. Okay. Well, when they do raise their hand, we'll check it out.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Tell us about what New Zealand is just really like. Brett, New Zealand is a magical place. We all live in hutches. And all of us exchange pieces of gold for goods and services. There is a bad man whose name is Sarumand. And he lives in a big tower and we do not like him. But apart from that,
Starting point is 00:06:12 it's very beautiful. And it's actually quite advanced. Save for the hutches and gold. We have water wells. We've got electric and everything. Windmills. Really ticking along nicely. Yeah. See wells. We've got electric and everything. Windmills. Really ticking along nicely. Yeah. See what we've got is we've got solar panels
Starting point is 00:06:29 that power the windmills. And then the windmills mill all the flour from the wheat. And then we have bread. So suck it LA. You sir. Where were you enjoying Los Angeles?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Oh hey. Great question. I'm a move here. This place is fantastic. you sir right there how are you enjoying Los Angeles hey oh hey great question I'm gonna move here this place is fantastic you guys live in a wonderful wonderful land he's lying
Starting point is 00:06:53 we don't have the visas you gotta you gotta be nice to these people too I was being sincere oh you are gonna move here yeah wow
Starting point is 00:07:03 I thought you would have consulted me about that, but that's... Los Angeles is incredible. It's been so kind to us. Even the fact you're all here is like a testament to the place. Everyone seems to be very sincere. I don't know if that's because they mostly work in hospitality and they're working for tips. they mostly work in hospitality and they're working for tips.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I don't know if you guys know this but LA's got a bit of a reputation as being kind of polluted and how do you say, stabby? But wall to wall, the air is clean, the water is wonderful, you people are lovely,
Starting point is 00:07:41 you came out tonight, everyone we've met has been super kind and I don't think you've got a bad man in a tower here right one lady was really rude to me
Starting point is 00:07:50 I don't want to get bogged down in it but she was it's really tainted the experience tell us a little bit though Guy you've opened it up
Starting point is 00:07:57 I was just I was driving and she did a honk that was not warranted well hold on what were you doing though because you know driving and she did a honk that was not warranted. Well, hold on. What were you doing, though? Because you know the rules are different.
Starting point is 00:08:13 You know, if I was going to lay the blame, it would be with the city planner. Because what's happened is... There's a car park that you can only... So here's the park. You're the car? No, I'm the park. Between my feet So here's the park. You're the car? No, I'm the park. Between my feet, that's one park. Here is a traffic light.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Okay. And here is another park. Now, if there's a car parked in this park... Sure, the first one. The only way to attack this park is by parallel parking. Yeah. But guess what else is happening, bud? A traffic light, like you said.
Starting point is 00:08:43 A traffic light, yeah. So, here I am trying to subtly parallel park in my park, and a lady honked at me, and for ages, it wasn't you, was it? No, it doesn't look like you. I definitely should not have asked about this story. Next question, please. I go on. So what happened then is...
Starting point is 00:09:04 No, no, just yell it. He'll keep going. Anyway, I pulled the fingers. So what happened then is... No, no. Just yell it. He'll keep going. I pulled the fingers. Oh, you're really going. And a whole car of ladies pulled the fingers at me. So if you run into any finger-pulling ladies, you tell them...
Starting point is 00:09:16 I'm jealous of your bare feet. You're going to get a bloody bad review on Yelp if you're not careful. Hit it up in the air. He'll go all night. Are you guys as excited for Burnout all night I want to ask you a question in reply, you know that one time when I accidentally said we'd watch it for two years
Starting point is 00:09:34 if it ever got made like, how seriously did you guys take that, because I gotta say it's not fair because you weren't listening when he said that They weren't in the room? You do not know how podcasting works man
Starting point is 00:09:52 I'm dealing with a fucking moron up here. I just take care of everything There wasn't anyone listening to uphold the sentence I don't think I signed off on this In answer to the question if they go with the idea of grown ups 3D
Starting point is 00:10:09 I think I deserve at least a credit if not a little bit of this but even if I don't get it I'll be really excited to see burp fart jokes coming at me right at they could have smelled by then
Starting point is 00:10:25 yeah exactly this would be the perfect time to introduce yeah that new sensory thing into cinemas great question, great question any more great questions? the bar is high, hello I'm so good, how are you?
Starting point is 00:10:42 cool my job in the Shire is I I'm so good. How are you? Cool. My job in the Shire is I have to corral all the horses. And then when one gets weak, it's up to me to kill it and my dad cooks it for the chieftain. So we've got a small family business that we run. It's pretty good. I run quality control on the bread. Which doesn't sound very glamorous over here in Los Angeles,
Starting point is 00:11:13 but let me tell you, I got the third nicest blazer in Hobbiton, so I think we know who's laughing about that. The Montgomery's are famous for their lives. So it's something else. I don't know. We do comedy. We try to do comedy.
Starting point is 00:11:32 We try to do as much comedy as there is in New Zealand. There's a little bit. There's not heaps. Tim is actually, to free up some more time for his movie watching hobbies, he's just left a job. But he was a regular host on one of our great radio stations, so that's why his voice sounds so good.
Starting point is 00:11:50 That's where I'm all the way down here. Silky smooth, coming at you. 99 FM, Radio Hauraki. Welcome to it. Feels like I'm pouring honey in your ears over here at Radio Hauraki. Coming up in the next 20, we can look forward to some eagles,
Starting point is 00:12:06 probably shift gears and get into some of the who. And then the really classic stones. They didn't ask for an example of what you do. They just said, what do you do? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:15 They weren't like, take me to New Zealand. Guy is more successful than me though because he does television stuff, which as we all know is a good deal. And so three of the families have TVs and I'm very popular with two of them. Guy and I met because he used to host
Starting point is 00:12:38 a late night youth TV show and I used to come on and review toilets on it. Once a week. That's true. I was the loo review guy. It was called the loo review and used to come on and review toilets on it. Once a week. It's true. I was the Lou review guy. It was called the Lou review and Tim would come on and you would have taken you would have done detailed This sounds like bullshit but it's online.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Yeah this is true. Detailed reconnaissance on public toilets around Auckland and he'd bring in his findings and share them with me and I would be belligerent and rude Really playing to our strengths yeah and it was and the channel got cancelled it was really popular
Starting point is 00:13:11 ones and ones of viewers every night churning in to see the show it was something else what do you do? that was really aggressive the way you are hold on let me... Hold on, let me just try that again.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Hey, so... Hey, oh! Oh, it's so good to see you, Marjorie. God, it's been, what, 20, 30 years? You look great. Yeah. Let me say that. So what are you doing these days?
Starting point is 00:13:40 What are you up to? Yeah, but what do you... That's a full-time job. What's your thing? What do you do? Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot of responsibility. Yeah, taking care of a family. Guy knows because in the Shire, he is charged with daycare as well when he's not
Starting point is 00:13:57 milling the bread. The quality control thing with the bread wasn't as glamorous as I made it out to be. I'm moonlighting. Hey, congrats it out to be. I'm moonlighting. Hey, congrats on your family, too. I'm very jealous. I wish people loved me as well. Next question.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Brett's going to... When was the first time when you realized that people were paying attention to the podcast? Was there a moment in time? The first Paul Scheer mention was pretty big for me. I'm a big fan of his. By round of applause, who heard about us? Thanks to Paul Scheer mention was pretty big for me. I'm a big fan of his. By round of applause, who heard about us? Thanks to Paul Scheer. Wow, that's really quiet.
Starting point is 00:14:31 You guys are diehard. That's crazy. I thought it was going to go crazy for Paul Scheer. Yeah, but there's all like, Paul Scheer bounced onto other stuff. Make some noise if you heard about us on vice.com. You see? We could play this all night.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah, no, he's right, though. Well, no, we couldn't. What's going on with this guy? He's a very sexy guy. How did this group hear us? Whoa, three ladies. Mine do. Really?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Who's Noah? Noah. You built the ark and now this, dude? Thank you so much. Whoa, watch out. he's held us! Straight of shrimp, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here all week. For me, that was the first big thing.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Hearing him mention our names, or actually the name of our podcast, which I believe you may have butchered on that first mini-episode, but I was elated to hear that. The only thing prior to that that suggested anyone was aware we existed was we got a write-up. I don't think it was printed in the paper, but on the National
Starting point is 00:15:31 Papers website. In the Shire. The unfortunate thing is only two people have Wi-Fi in the Shire. Hobbitongazette.co.nz We got a little write-up on that, and that was from a guy hobbitongazette.co.nz Yeah. We got a little write-up on that and that was from a guy who doesn't exist in America
Starting point is 00:15:50 but he made some good stuff over there. So that was the first pat on the back we got like, hey, this is kind of interesting. He's a cool guy. Big Al. In effect. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I don't know why I'm doing that. Correct. Sorry, I don't know why I'm doing that. I was in Europe for a month. Correct. I was wondering if Tim could give us a mystery tour of why you went there. And also, before that... You're giving me too much time. Improv's all about... Boom! Well, no, because I cannot in my own life imagine doing anything for once a week for a year, let alone this.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah. So tell us about how you managed to hold it together. No, well, Brett, the timing on that particular little section of the podcast was interesting because he got his heart ripped out.
Starting point is 00:16:39 A very long relationship ended days before Guy left. And so I was actually sleeping on his couch. I don't have a couch. He was sleeping in my bed. Be honest. Just a figure of speech.
Starting point is 00:16:55 It was kind of cute. Guy was actually a bit of a dick about it, which is probably what I needed at the time. You were not letting me have my grieving time whatsoever. You were being a real dick right out the bat. But, um... I remember being in your bed and us drinking white Russians and watching the movie.
Starting point is 00:17:14 That was... That's a low... This was a low point. That was the night before I left. Tim had nowhere to stay. I'd rented my room out on Airbnb while I was away, so I'd stripped all the sheets, so we had the duvet
Starting point is 00:17:27 and the pillows but without the cover to lie about. I'm going to grab some of this baby. So you know your yellow pillow and yellow duvet that you don't want anyone else to see and Timbett and I just absolutely shit faced watching Grown Ups 2 for the 20 somethingth time.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Alonzo I want to answer your question, though. The reason why Guy had to go to Europe is... Not a lot of people know this about Guy. He discovered, accidentally, tripped over it, the cure for Ebola. Do you guys want to know what it is? It turns out
Starting point is 00:18:02 if you eat the entire banana, including the stalk the virus cannot touch you for six months. Guy only came upon this information when he got so ripped at his own house he ate an entire banana
Starting point is 00:18:18 by accident went to the hospital to visit his dear aunt who was very sick at the time. She has since recovered, which is great news. Yeah, she's doing really well. He came into contact with the only person in New Zealand who had Ebola coughed in his face. Like, horrible, terrifying stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Guy inextricably not struck down with Ebola. He's unstoppable. What's his secret? He gets real stoned and eats entire bananas. He managed to deduce that it was the only possibility for the cure and he didn't, I'm sorry to say in this room, he didn't
Starting point is 00:18:52 trust the Americans with that information. So he was like, I gotta get to the EU stat. I need to talk to Merkel on this one. Germany's done some pretty weird shit but they're good now. I like that Angela.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Let's get her on the blower. And that's why I went to Europe. I got an audience with Angela Merkel. She was not very responsive to the idea, as you can imagine. I mean, it's pretty weird. It's pretty weird to walk... Have you ever walked into sort of the person
Starting point is 00:19:21 who's in charge of pretty much Europe right now and said, hey, I got news for you. Whack a whole banana down your throat. She did not take kindly to that, so I was... Hey, here's a question for the fans. Did I ever post the video footage
Starting point is 00:19:38 of a guy eating... No, I remember you didn't. I didn't know. Because it's disgusting, that's why. We'll deal with that later on. See, just throw your questions at us because we'll talk absolute nonsense until we get interrupted. So please, just, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:51 We'll go to the gentleman just behind that gentleman who is this gentleman. You're a gentleman, sir. Why did you do this? Why have you done this? I still struggle to answer that question. I don't really know. Why anything, really, though?
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah, why get up and go to work? Like, why have a family? Why become a film critic? Why are we all wearing pants? Just think about it. Don't laugh at it. Idiots. And now the gentleman in front of the gentleman
Starting point is 00:20:26 who was the gentleman you are now the gentleman hi it's not a horse auction Tim given the way you feel about the movie what do you want us
Starting point is 00:20:39 to take away from this movie oh deep a lot of them haven't seen it deep um okay I'm gonna I can't speak for Guy I can only speak for Timbo deep a lot of them haven't seen it deep okay I'm gonna I can't speak for Guy
Starting point is 00:20:47 I can only speak for Timbo we'll answer individually that's this gentleman I want you guys to watch the film with an open heart and mind I really do because my fear is
Starting point is 00:20:57 that people interpret this podcast as some sort of evil vendetta where we're just trying to shit on Adam Sandler that was never my intention. Adam Sandler's done some sensational work.
Starting point is 00:21:08 This is not among that particular category of his offerings. But I want you guys to... Some people enjoy grown-ups too. Maybe you'll be one of them. We don't know. And that's fine if you are because we're in the City of Angels.
Starting point is 00:21:22 You guys are very accepting. All flavours and colours. You know what I'm saying? If you are one of those people, this is probably going to be quite an uncomfortable night for you. But don't be ashamed of that. And for the rest of you, don't get all Salem on us, okay? That's a witch trials reference.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I'm glad you all read The Crucible. It was in your homework. What do you want people to take away from the viewing, Guy? I actually surprisingly agree wholeheartedly with Tim's sentiments. Fuck off. Yep. That was the first time for everyone. Tim's right.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Honestly. Sorry, what was that? Tim's all right. Watch the movie, right? It's like it's... We were talking today about the first time we Watch the movie right it's like it's we were talking today about the first time
Starting point is 00:22:08 we watched the movie and what we remembered from it and what happens when we watch the movie now is it's nothing like that it's a really
Starting point is 00:22:15 different experience so for you who haven't seen it yet this is quite exciting Oh we hated it though let me say that We did We thought it was garbage
Starting point is 00:22:23 No you don't pepper that in don't season them with that. Sorry. So, like you are, by proxy, you're about to experience mind you it has been covered
Starting point is 00:22:34 a little bit by the fact that we talked about it for a year, but you're about to experience what we felt a year ago. You're going into this, you don't know what it is, you kind of know what it is, but like this is exciting. It should be an exciting movie for you all to watch. I don't know what it is. You kind of know what it is. But like, this is exciting. It should be an exciting movie for you all to watch.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You know the difference between Guy and I? See, I can keep it cool and low like this because I'm radio trained, but Guy gets excited. Well, Tim, on TV, you've got to have some high energy. No, what you want is you want to grab people by the balls. When you get the upgrade, you'll understand the way I'm talking. No, you want to be down here, baby. It's very popular.
Starting point is 00:23:06 You want to chill people out. You sound like you're asleep. Next question. Hello, Seth. We're going to UCB tomorrow night to watch Grown Ups 1. I understood the question. I understood the question. I understood the question. I just thought I'd get a quick plug in.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I don't know. I don't really want to see Guy anymore. Like even beyond a public project, I don't want to see the Guy person anymore. That is another thing. We had a lovely heartfelt speech over sushi today. And then at the end of it, I said to Tim,
Starting point is 00:23:42 and in saying all of that, I'm really looking forward to not spending time with you. And he said I appreciate that or something friendly. Yeah. It's amazing that we've lasted this long
Starting point is 00:23:55 on this project and in this trip in particular. We do like I don't want to see the guy's fucking face. I don't want to hear about him. I don't want to see him on Twitter. I'm going to block you. I'm going to
Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm going to make an app that blocks all Guy Montgomery related content and transforms it into cat related content. I'm going to call it Cat Montgomery and it's going to cost $1.25 and you can get it on Apple iTunes and Google Play next month.
Starting point is 00:24:20 It sounds great. I can't wait to be a part of it. So we've been working on that for a couple of years now we're really looking forward to launching that platform got a really good feeling about it really strong feeling about it
Starting point is 00:24:35 and other than that we both have quite busy stand up comedy schedules coming up couldn't tell you the number because I got lined up I could because the number's zero
Starting point is 00:24:45 so it's hard to talk about that. But we're going to go to Melbourne. We're trying to make a year of it. Have a real crank. We're hoping to come back to Los Angeles. Guy's got a short film
Starting point is 00:24:54 and a film festival that's very prestigious. So I think he deserves a round of applause for that. What's the name of the movie, man? These people will clap at anything. Yeah. What? Yeah, well, that's good. What's the name of the movie, man? These people will clap at anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:06 What? Yeah, well, that's true. It's called Return. It's in Clermont for long. I was kind of kidding when I said shout it out. I just want to acknowledge that you do cool stuff. I know. Does that answer your question in any way, shape or form?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Because that's the answer you're going to get I'm afraid. We are looking at creating some new concepts. We're going to have a talk. Some new shapes. What we're really looking to move into is sort of geometry and what is a shape? What is in a shape? What is a new shape?
Starting point is 00:25:39 I would love to talk to you about fourth dimensional thinking. But that's after the patio breaks. By the way, sorry, we forgot to tell you all, we're operating on a different plane now. We level up. We're going to get this show on the road, I think. I don't know. Well, I just want to know. I have very little concept
Starting point is 00:25:56 of time. Was there a moment when you guys looked at each other and said, I don't know about finishing this? Really early on, Brett. And you hear it in the podcast the desperation and the questioning I think about episode 3 or 4 I tried hard to back I was like
Starting point is 00:26:12 what if we call it a day what if we just you know what if we don't but I think when it was open ended when we said that we were going to watch it just until we couldn't. That was the original mission? That was the original.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I'm pretty sure the first time we talked about it, we were like, we're going to do this until we can't do it anymore. But that's silly, because that could be like week three. That's right, so then after three weeks, Tim was like, we're going to do this for a year. And he put a cap on that immediately. Yeah, I forgot what the question was. I wanted to back out really early.
Starting point is 00:26:45 That's what it was. Oh, yeah. Did you ever have any deep, dark arguments between you about, we should stop, we should keep going, we should stop? Do you know, like, weirdly, Guy and I, we get on. We're good friends. We're good friends now. We didn't actually, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I feel like you guys have probably heard our relationship develop over the course of the podcast which is weird for a lot of reasons mainly because we're not dating and it seems like
Starting point is 00:27:12 what I've described is a romantic relationship I would also imagine you'd have a pretty good read on where the relationship is at the moment and I think we're definitely past
Starting point is 00:27:21 the honeymoon phase where it's all you know, like... Yeah, we kind of agree on... I'm not going to, like, all of his eccentricities, which we used to be cute, they're now kind of like, oh, I wish you didn't laugh like that.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You know? Ouch! That kind of stuff. But I'm from radio, baby. I laugh like this. I go... Coming up next! Television!
Starting point is 00:27:44 It's better than radio. That's how I talk. Okay. Does anyone have any burning questions before we all kill ourselves? Oh, we got one down here. Okay. And then we're going to go over to you. I saw you.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I like you. Yeah. Or in a cinema. I think it's the perfect way to end it. Do you guys agree? many people yeah or in a cinema how do you feel about that how do you feel about that I think it's the perfect way to end it do you guys agree
Starting point is 00:28:08 I think this is like there's no this is literally the ideal situation I could not conceive of any better way to do it I couldn't think of
Starting point is 00:28:20 a better I didn't think of this place I couldn't imagine this place this is really cool I mean shit we're in LA for some reason yeah I didn't think of this place. I couldn't imagine this place. This is really cool. I mean, shit.
Starting point is 00:28:28 We're in LA for some reason. We're at this incredible theatre. It's full of human beings. This is as big as it gets for us. Absolutely. Thank you, Brett. Everybody, please. Nailed it. And thank Dan and Amanda.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And they should thank Paul Scheer. And then Paul Scheer should thank the guy who told them about it. We were talking Monday about who is the guy who told Paul Scheer. That's patient zero, as you said. Yeah, if anyone knows who that dude is who gave Paul Scheer the tip-off, that guy really is responsible for everything. So if anyone knows him, come see us after the show. And I believe you had a question, sir?
Starting point is 00:29:05 Oh, yeah. This might not be the best question to hand on, but was there any reason why Guy Capone was leaving? Oh, yeah. There was a pretty good reason, man. Yeah. Because I'd watched a movie 30 times.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Seems like a pretty fucking good reason to me. I don't mean to turn on you like that I guess I'm feeling pretty defensive about it we're here to win hearts and minds man it's coming a little hot the reason is like our schedules didn't always lend themselves to sort of really easy watching and so sometimes it was happening late at night
Starting point is 00:29:43 or after an event or sort of we realised we were at a party and we could sort of knock one out and accordingly sometimes it was happening late at night or after an event or sort of we realised we were at a party and we could sort of knock one out. And accordingly... As it were. You're phrasing. So we'd ram it in and I'd come in. I was so enthused.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Danger zone, bro. Danger zone. No, New Zealand's above this, so fuck you, Los Angeles. Monty. Okay, what would happen... Monty! I just wanted to be aged on Benjamin for one moment. Okay. What would happen is Tim and I would communicate enthusiasm
Starting point is 00:30:17 about watching the movie to each other and Tim Beck, God bless his soul, is not the type of guy to fall asleep when he sees he's going to do something. Guy Montgomery is some human beings in New he's not going to attest to. He can make a promise that he cannot, you know, with regards to being awake, uphold. And so I told Tim I was going to watch... I would wait for your poor girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:30:37 I really do. She's fine with it. There she is, telling her about your day. Your narcolepsy kicks in. Boom, you're out. Wow, that sounds great. I got fired. No, it's just, I'm just a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I don't know what the schedule is. We could do one more by the look of... Let's just take one more question. I saw a hand shooter before. You're so keen. There's two hands can you are you
Starting point is 00:31:06 together can you combine the questions do one word each yeah do one one word who are you
Starting point is 00:31:13 talking to I was talking to these there's a man and a woman there's so many god damn questions
Starting point is 00:31:18 shit okay doodoo's like give me a thumbs up you champion you
Starting point is 00:31:24 yes what's champion of the thumb hold on Give me a thumbs up. You. Champion. You. Yes. Champion of the thumb. Hold on. What's your gut reaction? You go. You lead. If it's on TV TV which it has been in New Zealand
Starting point is 00:31:46 a couple of times I let people know when I know about it I'm like hey it's the movie we've been talking about if I see it out in the do you know what
Starting point is 00:31:54 I don't think I've really seen it much out in the wild wild grown ups do a pair yeah it's super effective guy who's asleep guy who's been poisoned
Starting point is 00:32:04 Tim played poker flute it did nothing big Pokemon fan at the front love that love that we've got our
Starting point is 00:32:13 Venn diagram you're sitting squarely in the middle of our fans Pokemon fans so I haven't seen a lot in the wild I think what happened
Starting point is 00:32:20 is probably it's one of those movies that had a huge budget when they did the cinema release everyone would go to the opening weekend and they could blast that around but because is probably it's one of those movies that had a huge budget when they did the cinema release everyone would go to
Starting point is 00:32:25 the opening weekend and they could blast that around and but because I wasn't in tune to it then that just passed me by and I don't really
Starting point is 00:32:34 see it anywhere the dude in the video store today luckily Cinefamily had us covered with a Blu-ray but we forgot to bring our New Zealand copy
Starting point is 00:32:41 I don't think would even work here we went down to a video rental store and said, can we please buy a copy of Grown Ups 2? And he just gave us the one that was the only rental one in the store and was like, don't worry. I don't think anyone's going to miss it. So we bought it for $5. I tipped him a dollar because he was such a gentleman about it.
Starting point is 00:33:06 We thought better than explaining ourselves. Yeah. But there we go. Do you want to add anything to that? No, I don't even remember the question. Very good. So we have time for one more and then we've got to watch.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Just start yelling it out. Who wins? Do you feel any guilt for the amount of people that are now watching from the... I've never thought I I does the artist take personal responsibility
Starting point is 00:33:33 hey okay hold on now whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you go well she said the magic word which is guilt
Starting point is 00:33:40 let me tell you about guilt before Guy and I left to come here to Los Angeles, we did a little fundraiser where we wrote down the entire movie script by memory and then performed it in Auckland, in our hometown using
Starting point is 00:33:57 friends who are musicians and comedians and stuff to take on all the roles. Luckily there are 6,000 people in this movie so we fit a lot of our friends in. We read the stage directions. We sold out a community hall, and it was more or less a hostage situation. The doors were locked.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Honestly, because we didn't really know what would happen. It took two and a half hours. And the journey was... Enter in, we kick off, people are like, oh, this is so exciting. and the journey was enter in we kick off people are like oh this is so exciting I know that guy from TV
Starting point is 00:34:29 that's Chelsea Jade who's a great musician da da da this is so cool half hour in oh wait a minute from radio they were saying that
Starting point is 00:34:36 they did say that thank you and then about half an hour in and we could sense this because Guy and I were in the middle of the stage
Starting point is 00:34:44 people were like oh, we're fucked up. Like, this is no good. But what do you expect? And by the end of it, Guy had gone mental because Guy and I both, the guilt would just be heaped on us as time went on. We got to the two hour mark and Guy was just screaming the lines at this poor crowd that had come to support us. His face as red as a cherry tomato. Veins popping out like he's some kind of Hulk Hogan impersonator from his heyday.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And people were getting pretty freaked out. And I felt kind of bad about that and afterwards everyone was very lovely but you want guilt? That's guilt. What those people experienced was horrible. Good answer. And with that I think it's time to watch the movie.
Starting point is 00:35:47 But if we keep talking, we don't have to. Come on. This is... Hey, guys. Seriously, dude. We did it. This is that. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:06 You're going to see some... I'm going to get down here first. Are you guys on flight mode? It's very important... Oh, shit, it is right now Hold on We have five minutes? Patrick Schwarzenegger did not respond to my invitation Oh wait hold on
Starting point is 00:36:38 God knows why There's one of two things that You could be about to say So you say one of them, and we'll do that, and then we'll say the other one. Well, I feel like the first thing we should do then is... Take a pants off. Patrick Schwarzenegger is here.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Thanks to everyone who was so generous to give to our Indiegogo. We did a tattoo bit with you and you guys won. I got one. We did a tattoo bit with you, and you guys won. Yeah, take them. Take those photos. It's like a Nike ad.
Starting point is 00:37:12 It says, do Patrick Schwarzenegger. So, in case you were wondering, the lettering that's on there is respectively the Latin for love every moment and live every day. How do you not know this? Oh, my bad. It's live every moment and Latin and love every day. Also in Latin and we'll be carrying those for life.
Starting point is 00:37:41 You want to front foot this other surprise? Just while I put my belt on. So, ladies and gentlemen, before we kick the movie off, a very special person has come to join us. We've been waiting a long time to talk to her, and I'm sure you have too. Who do you think we're talking about right now?
Starting point is 00:37:58 Tanya Aitken, please come and join us on the stage. stage. It's actually Tanya from the movie. It's really her. We met her for the first time tonight. Stand between us, Tanya. I don't know. Nobody knows what my face looks like. Should I just stand from the back? A lot of these people haven't seen the movie yet. I've got a question for you, though. Could you try and replicate the sound real quick
Starting point is 00:38:37 that you make in the movie? I'd have to get hit in the head. I'm not going to do that. I want to come back to LA at some point and you seem like a nice person. So, Tanya, did you have any... We reached out to you pretty early on.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Before we necessarily were a non-entity. What was your thought? What was going through your head when just randomly from New Zealand some guys were like, hey, we want to talk to you about grown-ups too. I thought they really must be, you know, weird enough for me to answer. So I was like, okay, they must be either suffering from some kind of mental illness
Starting point is 00:39:17 and I'm going to do my, you know, charitable outreach. Or, you know, I'm just a weird girl. That's very kind of you suggesting we have mental illness yeah I'm real stoked to hear that wow that is a real badge of honour like real quick do you have
Starting point is 00:39:36 and I didn't sort of give you heads up on this so you may not but do you have any anecdotes or stories that you remember when you were working on the film maybe with the stars, maybe Adam did something crazy? Maybe they had a really good unit, maybe there were some really good sort of muesli bars.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I could tell some really funny stories, but I don't know if anybody's videotaping this, and I don't want to end up on some TMZ website tomorrow. I can tell you there's a guy there. No, I'm kidding. No, no, it totally doesn't matter. Something funny that happened the night that we actually filmed the scene that I'm in is Adam and the guys just started playing Tupac and Biggie music, like extremely loud on set
Starting point is 00:40:15 in this tiny town in Massachusetts. And everybody just had like a vicious dance party to Biggie music. That sounds... Hey, is Kevin James a mover? Because he strikes me as a really good dancer. Yeah, he's really, really good. And then that same night
Starting point is 00:40:31 we had a hot dog cart from Fenway Park brought to the set. And they're real Fenway dogs. That's legit. No wonder the movie turned out wonky because you guys were having
Starting point is 00:40:43 such a good time off set. Right, right. How can you focus? Oh shit, I forgot the movie turned out wonky because you guys were having such a good time off set. How can you focus? Oh shit, I forgot the movie. Oh, we've got to film something. Little shit face on hot dogs and biggie. You've got no idea what's happening on set. Right? I assume that's how it went.
Starting point is 00:40:58 It was like summer camp. It really was. I never wanted it to end, but then it did. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Tanya Aiken. Thank you so much for coming out tonight. Really lovely. Have a seat. Enjoy you on the big screen again. And if you want to make sure you see where Tanya's
Starting point is 00:41:16 at, ice cream parlor hit by a scoop. Let's enjoy the movie. Thank you very much guys. Cheers.
