Starting point is 00:00:00 🎵 It's the worst idea of all time It's the worst idea of all time It's the worst idea of all time Season 2 Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time. Season 2. Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Season 2, episode number 46. Coming to you from the dark. We are in pitch blank darkness now, folks. Tim Vant and Guy Montgomery are coming to you from a singular location for the first time in a little while. And it's the middle of the night we decided to just fucking do this Lights out, lights out it's a slumber party, put your gym jams on
Starting point is 00:00:51 get in your sleeping bag, make some s'mores, it's time for some bedtime stories Yeah, it's halfway between dangerous and lovely that's very much the sleepover vibe, eh? That's what's so cool about sleepovers.
Starting point is 00:01:06 They're exciting. Yeah, I was. You're with your mates, that's cool. I was a classic fall asleep early kid at a sleepover. I'm sure it doesn't surprise you. Did you ever wet yourself at a sleepover? Oh. That was the worst.
Starting point is 00:01:19 No, I don't think I did. Pretty good bladder control. I don't think. What? I don't know if that's true, mate. I good bladder control. What? I don't know if that's true, mate. I guess bladder control, I guess technically you're right. You don't have a very strong bladder. I've got a powerful bladder.
Starting point is 00:01:35 No. Yeah, no. Straight up and down. No, that's not true. My GP told me when I was 12 years old, he said your bladder has the density of an over-inflated football. That's bullshit, though, because you and I both know that you piss all the time.
Starting point is 00:01:50 You're built like an athlete, mate. You're just constantly... Built like a horse. Over the left leg of a horse. Yeah, you're like an athletic horse. Look. Constantly escaping being eaten by hungry people. Constantly. People don't farm horse to eat
Starting point is 00:02:07 No they don't really They should really stop that saying then Because it's a hell of a misnomer There was a lot of outcry when it came out That McDonald's and other places have been serving Horse meat I don't think that was McDonald's No it wasn't
Starting point is 00:02:20 It was in the UK wasn't it a few years ago Supermarket meat It was fucking TV din, wasn't it? A few years ago. Supermarket meat. They were fucking TV dinners. That was the whole thing. I was like, oh, really? You're up on your, excuse the pun, high horse buying TV dinners and expecting not to get a fucking horse in it. The thing is, you're being so selective, man.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Like, what's the difference between a horse and a sheep? That's the thing. You've got some horse in there. Yeah. I would expect radioactive waste to be coming out of the filler in those TV dinners. We're Stunny of All Time is a podcast where myself and Guy watch the same movie every week for a year. We did a whole season of Grown Ups 2 and Adam Sandler's Stinker. And this year, we're in the closing stretch of Sex and the City 2
Starting point is 00:03:06 and old time fans of the podcast who aren't just dipping in for the first time will notice the theme has changed thanks again to Josh Peters because I feel like the mood has changed for these last few It's quite yeah it's sort of solemn it almost felt nostalgic
Starting point is 00:03:22 I haven't heard the music like that music playing at the start of a really coloured, yeah, it's really coloured my experience. But just in terms of this home stretch, man, like, fuck, I am done. Yeah, you really are. I am done. It's been a long run around the block this year, hasn't it?
Starting point is 00:03:43 Yeah, it's ebbs and flows on this process, you know? It really is. But I feel like we're just in a stage now where it's like, fuck off. Just the whole thing needs to die. Just put a pin in the entire operation. No, but that is when, you know, this is, um, this is like you're doing, you've got the stitch.
Starting point is 00:04:08 This is like, you know, you're running in the big race and you get the stitch and you're like, well, I'm not going to let the stitch stop me from finishing this big race. You just got a little bit of the stitch. Put your hands on your head and run for a bit, like slow down and run for a bit. That's the opposite of what I do. I'd always like grab the bit that hurt. Nah, rookie, rookie mistake. So what are you supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:04:29 Put your hands on your head. What does that do? Does it change your blood flow or something? Changes your breathing, I guess. Oh, that's true. I actually never looked into the science of it. Someone told it to me when I was impressionable. What the fuck is Stitch anyway?
Starting point is 00:04:40 It's a biological kind of function of it. What's the, you know, why do we, what's that about? It's like a, it's like biological Kind of function of it What's the You know Why do we What's that about It's like a It's like the A bubble of Air Being like Oi chill out
Starting point is 00:04:51 A bubble of air I don't know It feels like It's a real weakness In humans A real Achilles heel Cause running's the only thing We've got Guy
Starting point is 00:05:01 As an animal We don't have a good defence. We don't have claws. We don't have great senses. Everything's another sea beast. No, we... Middle distance running is the one thing that we're awesome at. Yeah, that's true. We're the best... As a defence
Starting point is 00:05:17 mechanism. We're we ourselves. No, I was saying we can run away for a long time. But that is our defence mechanism. We're we ourselves. Where are you getting that science brah science brah is that that magazine you subscribe to pictures of those dudes in board shorts and poker necklaces yeah just holding up an abacus in a fucking periodic table an abacus holding a monkey's hand to just allude to the concept of evolution champ you guys got the wrong fucking primate you're reading science bruh ah geez
Starting point is 00:05:54 well i tell you what guy um we're here we're in the dark we're in the sleepover mode what do you think of this movie? To be your lawfully wedded partner for another eight go-arounds or so, if I'm doing my math right. Sex and the City 2? It's just... I want you to propose vows to the film. You have to start, I, Guy... What is your middle name?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Alexander Halifax. I fucking knew that, sorry. I, Guy, Alexander Halifax I fucking knew that Sorry I Guy Alexander Halifax Montgomery I Guy Alexander Halifax

Starting point is 00:06:40 You're at the fucking We're there We're at the wedding Ah Spouse These are the spouse. Ah. I solemnly swear to do my best.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I'll do, honestly, I'll do my best. You're difficult. You can be difficult to be around. I mean, at this stage, it's kind of just like you know we just we can be in a room with each other and we can keep things civil but and I guess knowing that there's a time gap
Starting point is 00:07:14 I'll try and improve on that with you and obviously you as a sort of non-sentient non-responsive you know vide videophile, you will continue to do what you do. And I respect that. Let's have a kiss, baby, and we're married.
Starting point is 00:07:37 No one's toasting that, are they? You're so guarded. I wasn't that guarded. You've got to lay it on the line, guy. There's a line from the second season of House of Cards. And Kevin Spacey's wife says to Kevin Spacey, it's like the all is lost moment in the series right before it ends. And he's falling out of favor with the prisoner.
Starting point is 00:08:01 And she says, seduce him. Cut out your heart and give it to him. That's what I was looking for from those marriage vows and I did not find it. You do your marriage vows I Timothy Andrew Batt take you, Sex in the
Starting point is 00:08:18 City 2 to be my partner through thick and thin across the next eight watches. I promise to give you my entire human attention as much as I can absolutely master in the moment. I promise to be with you through good times and troubling times. I will be faithful to you. good times and troubling times. I will be faithful to you.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I shall solemnly swear to try super hard to not look at my phone. From here till eight watches, amen. Dude, I like mine better. Yours were weird. They came out like a prayer. That was uncomfortable uncomfortable you've made everyone at the ceremony very uncomfortable uh i'm wondering what's going on between you two i knew what was what was going on when they came it's not as likely to this and then it does if if anyone has any reason why these two should not marry speak now if we ever hold your peace. I do. Head it up. I think this is a bad relationship.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Why? What part of it? I just don't think you guys are good for each other. I don't think you... Is it because I'm asking a movie to be my partner? No, I'm talking about... I'm not even talking about it as a movie. I'm talking about you and Sex and the City 2. No, actually, obviously, I want you to write out the relationship but you know that was a good little exercise because when i was saying that i did feel like i was like this is i can you know it's a new it's
Starting point is 00:09:56 a new way of because it's difficult to see the forest from the trees or the trees from the forest at this point um so it was a so it was a new angle I had on seeing how sex in the city 2 is impacting you this is what you gotta do guy when you're watching something 50 times you gotta change your point of entry like a space shuttle it's like okay 23 degrees
Starting point is 00:10:18 all the astronauts we'll try a different one 22 degrees alright guess what I'm looking at a fireball they didn't provide that one either what are we going to do are we going to cancel the space program
Starting point is 00:10:31 no try more angles of re-entry so that's what we're here to do today try different angles of re-entry see what works what are some other angles you took a note on your phone fuck it Try different angles of re-entry. See what works. What are some other angles? You took a note on your phone.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Fuck it. It's too far away and it's the dark. I've actually just put it within arm's reach. I can't feel it. Oh, here we go. Here's the phone. I think it was something to do with the joke that I have been, I still don't.
Starting point is 00:11:04 It's bright in the, oh, no, I've all my apps My power My phone's gone to extreme power I'm so over it It was um That sandwich joke Oh yeah From You take it It was your thing
Starting point is 00:11:15 You say that you Fucking cracked me up Because this is something That guy flagged very early on Like perhaps in the single digit watches And we just We went back and forth on it a lot because you were like, I just don't get that she's having a little sandwich joke
Starting point is 00:11:33 as a joke fundamentally. I think we discussed this with James Acaster at length as well. And it's when Miranda, sorry, Charlotte falls off the horse. The camel. She's in the desert. She pulls all her clothes up to kind of get ready to get back on it and inadvertently pulls her underwear and pants suit thingy up too high and creates a camel toe for herself.
Starting point is 00:12:00 And then Miranda says, it looks like she's having, oh no, sorry, SJP says, honey, you've got a real camel camel toe. Righto, we get it. And then Miranda says, it looks like she's having a little sand wedge. Yeah. There is the bone of contention, that last line, a little sand wedge. I just don't understand why are we talking about sandwiches? Yeah, I get it.
Starting point is 00:12:28 There's no, like, the second level of the joke has no application. Because a joke is something that has two meanings. Yeah. It's pretty much a, yeah, okay. It's like a... Double entendre. It's like she's a joke machine and just threw out the wrong, you know, the context for the joke was not quite right.
Starting point is 00:12:49 And it made it through to the cutting room floor. Hey, full disclosure, guys. Guy and I, and this is, see me just a plug for the subreddit as well, but we went back on the old TWIOAT subreddit and found at the top at the moment is an interview that Jon Stewart did with Mattress Paykel King in 2010 when the movie was being released.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And those guys go fucking back, man. Yeah, it's a very good interview, actually. Well, kind of. It's very good for Mattress. Yeah. It's nice. He's on the junket for sex in city too but it's not discussed at all yeah uh they play a very long we thought we've been rickrolled because at the start of the interview they play down about a minute and a half worth of footage from the movie which is the most terrifying yeah terrifying
Starting point is 00:13:43 experience but then he comes out and the the footage doesn't get any laughs when it's being played down it's actually that exact scene we were just talking about the lead up to the gag yeah this is the camel and the uh and then yeah then my it might you know the mattress pikelet queen uh or king you know um you're on there quite yeah you decide he comes out and they do an interview and he's funny and they're like
Starting point is 00:14:08 old old friends from early comedy days he gave he gave Jon Stewart his first job in TV was your interpretation just based on that interview because I
Starting point is 00:14:16 I guess I'll look this up later maybe do you reckon Mattress used to do stand up no he used to do improv ah it's groovy. That's a very good word for improv.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Improv is very groovy. It made me warm to Mattress. Yeah, yeah. Hold on, dude. Pockets of energy. They were riffing and scatting. Sure were. Squeaking and bopping.

Why would you choose now to get all bashful about it? I just, you know, I want people to like the song and I feel like I'm... I've committed murder and I think I got away.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And then there's more lines, but I can't remember them. There's also a great Jay Diller remix of I Tried. I Try. To say goodbye. Did we get to the bottom of what movie? It's fun, wasn't it? No, we didn't. It's just, it's Macy Gray doing a character piece
Starting point is 00:17:51 for a reality TV show. Whoa, hold on. You're chucking more components in there and I'm really sorry if I just burped on the mic. I'm not too worried about it. Wait, so not only is it... What have you got there, guy? Tape measure.

Starting point is 00:19:51 blam and it had like a thing next to it that was how much sugar it was the last one the top of the bill was Nutri-Grain and it was

Starting point is 00:20:09 you will lose your or be wary sanitarium who own wheat bix and are a huge breakfast
Starting point is 00:20:17 cereal company here in New Zealand and Australia owned by the Seventh Day Adventist church they don't pay they don't pay fucking tax it's crazy stuff here in New Zealand and Australia, owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Correct. They don't pay fucking tax. It's fucking outrageous.
Starting point is 00:20:28 It's crazy stuff. The only thing that makes the most popular breakfast cereal in New Zealand, and they don't pay a lick of income tax. That is a fucking grift, man. I'm not down with that. Back to the film. Your Shining Light I wrote wrote down But it's fine Which is now kind of off limits
Starting point is 00:20:49 Because it's gone into a I remember it I got it So when they are When it's amazing how much Food and clothes Four butlers can fit into four Maybacks It was amazing
Starting point is 00:21:02 You were amazing. Charlotte, they served a plate of macaroons when they arrived from the camel ride and they get lunch. Charlotte and Carrie sit next to one another in one of their plush tents. Different colours too, those macaroons. Yeah, and a plate of macaroons is put down.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Macaroons became pretty popular, but 2010, that was pretty, you know, that's one thing that hit from Sex and the City 2. They called macaroons big time. Yeah, they did. It was an early strike, 2010. Yeah, man. At least in New Zealand. I don't know what the macaroon industry is doing in America right now.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And for that, I apologise to any macaroon enthusiasts. But yeah, she picks a mac, so they get placed in front of them. Charlotte picks a macaroon up, looks at it, then looks at Carrie, goes wow, then
Starting point is 00:21:57 mimes putting it in her mouth and puts it back down on the plate. Oh, that's great. And I noticed it for the first time last week and forgot to bring it up. It's a wonderful little moment. It's like, oh, wow, look at this. We could eat these, but not now.
Starting point is 00:22:15 You're really diverging from the spirit of the shining light again. This isn't the first time I've pulled you up on this. A shining light is not a time for you to recognise a continuity error or an act of fucking up it's a time when you take a breather from shitting down the film every time you
Starting point is 00:22:34 think that I'm, that's not an act of shitting, like that to me is a good character decision it's very Charlotte okay, I feel like you talked your way out of this one but really good job, but it's all out. My shining light is kind of a broad one unfortunately this week but I just feel
Starting point is 00:22:55 like Runkle is the greatest acting talent of our generation. There is an, as I said to Guy while we were watching this film today there isn't a frame where he hasn't made the best decision in the moment possible I agree
Starting point is 00:23:12 Runkle is incredible and I feel like he's been hamstrung by being in this movie because otherwise you put this performance
Starting point is 00:23:20 in a different film Oscar worthy yeah he's I'm not afraid of that. He's not going to... I'm playing with the tape measure a little too much now. It's all right. It's a good sound though, eh?
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah, it's satisfying. I think, yeah, he does a good job with limited opportunities in this movie. I wouldn't say he's the greatest actor of our generation, namely because you couldn't tell me... Give me two people who are better than him. No, the onus of proof is on you for your outlandish claim. Give me two movies that Runkle has starred in.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Nah, I don't need to. I'll tell you, his body of work in Californication, from the limited amount of that series I've seen, is flawless. So he's not necessarily the greatest actor of our generation. Hey, bro, do you remember a little guy called james dean who people seem to consider this fucking monstrous talent despite the fact that he was in what like six films total it's not about the quantity of shit you put out
Starting point is 00:24:17 it's the quality of what's out there of your work and runkle brings yeah the noise. Yeah, so I don't disagree that Runkle brings the noise. All I'm challenging is that he doesn't, he's not the greatest actor of our generation. He's just maybe the, he's got the lowest error rate. But that's Oscar. You don't get, there's no Oscar for having the lowest error rate. Anna Paquin won an Oscar for The Piano. That was the first movie she was ever in. She is New Zealand's shining light.
Starting point is 00:24:50 She is New Zealand's shining light. I wonder what Anna Paquin's doing right now. Listening to this podcast. Oh God, that would bring me so much joy. Even if I found out she'd listened to five minutes of one episode, I'd be like, yes. Big Anna Paquin fan over here hey um what about we dust off that big old leather bound book sitting in the corner makes me cough yeah dusty it's not good for your lungs but uh it's important
Starting point is 00:25:19 you say asthma or asthma i say asthma you're on you, because you're not a goober. Asthma's, fuck, such a horrible way of saying it. It's Mr. Big's big book of ideas. Guy. Tim. Let's open it up. Let me just wet my finger. That is a horrible sound.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Thumb and through. Thumb and through. Thumb and through. Page, page, page, page, page, page, page. A diagram of a woman upside down in a wheel made of wood. What's it for? No time to explore it. Page, page, page, page, page, page, page. Oh, there is what appears to be spouting around a house, right? But it's filled with birdhouses as well.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Some sort of self-sustaining ecosystem around a home. No time to dwell on that. It's a drawing of a hot air balloon attached to another hot air balloon attached to an entire small model village of hot air balloons. Okay, here's what's happened, guys. Mr Big has been taken to the seaside by his mother
Starting point is 00:26:24 for the first time ever at age 58 she said John John Biglets I hate it when you call me that mother you've been hanging out in that huge storied building of yours for too long and I know how much you hate heights
Starting point is 00:26:43 colour blindness can be doing you no good in that job of yours for too long and i know how much you hate heights color blindness can be doing you um no good in that job of yours playing with the stock market so we're going to the seaside and god knows the vertigo of being 50 stories up when you're afraid of heights can't be very good for you either absolutely so his mama takes him out of there um and they go to the seaside and John's wearing stripes. Those ye olde striped kind of almost Jim Jam looking. Yeah. Singlet and short shorts. It's a onesie.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Yeah. And it's horizontal stripe. It is. You got it. He looks like the human equivalent of a milk jug. Like a really attractive milk jug in the fridge nice and he's there with his mama and he sees a tugboat for the first time and he's like what an incredible concept this tiny little thing that has all this power he's he's like he's 58 years old mind you so the fact that
Starting point is 00:27:44 he hasn't seen a tugboat before is mildly comical. What was that light that came in the room? That was the great idea light. It's when you have a great idea and the neighbours want you to keep going. That scared the shit out of me. Are you being robbed?
Starting point is 00:27:59 No, you're not being robbed. Okay, cool. That's funny because you thought the worst thing that would happen would be being robbed and I just thought that the police were going to knock on the door and be like what's going on here you boy you boys aren't podcasting are you you know it's after podcasting hours yeah in new zealand we've got this crazy law on the books that you're not allowed to podcast after 11 p.m it is fucked got a couple of renegades on the mic though, so. Mr. Big takes this idea of a tugboat
Starting point is 00:28:27 and transfers it to a bigger scale and he's like, what if you could get something that is comparatively as big as a tugboat if you compare it to a thing? It's like, oh my God. A poster just fell off the wall in the studio. There is a ghost here.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's very scary. this is quintessential sleep over um they aren't they aren't supernatural beings at quintessential sleepovers explain that timing then to me guy coincidence almost definitely absolutely is um so what he says doing is cocking up in his in his brain's like, what could move a whole village? And he's like, I know, a hot air balloon. And so he tries it and it doesn't work. And he's like, all right, I've got it. A hot air balloon attached to another hot air balloon.
Starting point is 00:29:16 We'll double the hot air balloons involved. Twice the power. What we've walked in on is him drawing a diagram of the same failed concept but doubling up the hot air balloons with some sort of belief that two will really change the game um the logic spoiler alert two hot air balloons does not move a village only a professional public speaker can move a village. Yeah, well, yeah, what you're saying is... Oh, God. The poster just finished its descent,
Starting point is 00:29:52 but it's on the floor now. Can't go any further. What you're saying is philosophically sound, but I think that, for me, if I'm trying to lift a village with one hot air balloon and it doesn't work, the next place my mind immediately goes to is put another hot air balloon in the mix. Yeah, I know, and that's what we've walked in on.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Oh, Mr Bigto, and he's scribbling down that idea, he's doing diagrams of it. He's trying to figure out the physics of moving a village using a hot air balloon. The reason that he's so motivated to move an entire village is buried in a conspiracy theory that he deeply believes in but is afraid to acknowledge to his loved ones for fear of sounding crazy. But he believes that there is a war that is waging in the sewers and the side streets of New York City that a lot of people are either choosing to be ignorant of
Starting point is 00:30:43 or unaware of. city that a lot of people are either choosing to be ignorant of or unaware of, but there is a battle brewing between the so-called, his name is only whispered in hushed tones, but the rat king, Brady, and his legion of hench rats. Hench rats and trench rats he's got them separated into two streams the hench rats are the ones that do all the duty work and the trench rats are kind of like the commissioned officers that's right
Starting point is 00:31:14 there's a hierarchy anyway and a marauding sort of almost it's not a cowboy in the western American sense but certainly a cowboy ining sort of almost, it's not a cowboy in the Western American sense, but certainly a cowboy in the sort of lonely sort of, you know, beyond the word lonely, I can't think of how to describe Dick Bop. David Bowie sense, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:39 A David Bowie sort of cowboy. His level of genius is so great that he feels isolated from the rest of humanity just like David Bowie does. Is that how David Bowie feels? I can only imagine, yes. He's just so fucking good that it's like I can't even relate to these people anymore. It's like Dr. Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Don't know. He basically just becomes so powerful that he just goes to Mars to chill out and have a think basically just becomes so powerful that he just goes to mars to chill out and have a think and just becomes so infinitely powerful he's like god i can't even be bothered with this human shit fuck it that's where bowie's headed and to a slightly lesser extent dick bot is yeah i think on the scale, Dick Bott is approaching David Bowie.
Starting point is 00:32:28 He's not there yet, but he'll get there one day. You better believe it. When future generations look back on influence across all manner of genres of music and style, it'll go one, David Bowie, two, Freddie Mercury, three, Dick Bott. and style it'll go one david bowie two freddie mercury yeah three dick bot yeah man it's gonna be a big day big day when he composes his first hit um listen i don't know what's left for us here because i know we're running out of time this way lies madness um i would like to say the
Starting point is 00:33:06 following things numero uno to anyone who's bought something from our store one million thank yous can't say thank you enough count them it's so awesome it's and it's it's bonkers to think that there's people rocking around with this stupid shit we thought of that is now a physical item. An artefact. Second of all, we're coming to New York, which we announced last episode. We're going to be doing a show at a theatre yet to be announced on the 3rd of March, so mark that out in your calendar
Starting point is 00:33:40 if you're in NYC. Or if you're near NYC. We know what we should do? Or if you're near NYC. We should start an event on Facebook for this, and then we can get an idea of how many people might be coming because they can RSVP on the thingy on the Facebook. That is a savvy idea. Savvier yet would probably be to just, you know. Stop talking about it and do it.
Starting point is 00:34:00 That's right. But you live and you learn, don't you? What is the other thing? We're all learning all the time. Oi, are we going to do a stand-up show over there or not? Yeah, we are. Sweet. Obviously, that is yet to be arranged also.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Cool. I've already done something with this tape. I've sort of accidentally locked this tape measure against the cable. You've just got to shift the lever. Oh, no, no. It's bigger. The problem's bigger than that, mate. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Check it out. That's right. We'll do this afterwards. So, look, that's all happening. And I guess, good on yous. Good on you. We're only eight away, guys. And we've got, hopefully, is it the next episode we're doing that thing that we discussed?
Starting point is 00:34:41 Mm-hmm. That's going to be next episode, eh? Having a guest? Yeah. Yes. Oh, two. No, one guest. Oh, okay, that's the next one.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Okay, cool. We've got a guest who you may not have heard of before ever in the next episode who I, like, am real excited to get that person on. You might have heard of them. Oh, should we just announce it yeah sure why not see ya
Starting point is 00:35:12 see ya there and then we've got this other cool idea which we'll do in a couple of episodes if we remember cause you know it's us so bye you heard it what was that Because, you know, it's us. So, bye. You heard it.
Starting point is 00:35:28 What was that? Ah, it's nothing. What was it? No, it's nothing. It was a kiss. But why? Because a kiss is always a gift. It's the worst idea of all time.
Starting point is 00:35:51 It's the worst idea of all time. It's the worst idea of all time. Season 2.
