Hi everyone. I can't get my hat brim on the right. What do you need? What do you need it to be doing? Sometimes when I'm running and I'm wearing a hat, I don't mind if it's a bit skew-iff.

I actually think it makes it look like I'm really sending it on the run. Yeah. But in day-to-day life, when I'm in civvies, I guess. Is that civilian clothing? Yeah. Yeah. I like to have the brim even. Is that important to you?

Make sure it's not cocked. It's something I'm aware of. And so, for instance, we're recording this. This is the first recording that you and I have done in your new studio. So I would like to tip the hat, a tip of the hat to you. A tip, not a doff. Well, because I've got headphones over the top of the hat, so I'm not going to do tip the hat, a tip of the hat to you. A tip, not a doff. Well, because I've got headphones over the top of the hat, so I'm not going to doff the hat. I'm not even wearing a hat, so you're doing better than that.

One of the details about the studio is there's a camera and a monitor facing me. Oh, yeah. And so I could see the hat. And sort of like backing a trailer, I couldn't figure out. Oh, yeah, because it's mirrored. Yeah, so I couldn't figure out which,

see, even now I'm getting it wrong. So I was doing this because I thought it was, but I had to be doing that. You're exacerbating the issue. It's not really worth worrying about. What's so charming about it is that I'd say 98% of people are consuming this, no vision. I know, but I want all of those who are visualizing me in a hat,

I'd like you to read the hat. Yeah. The hat says, Women want me, fish fear me. And in the pantheon of guys' funny clothes, it ranks very high for me. I've got a lot of pieces that I really enjoy. That one's very near the tippy top.

And more importantly, is it level? Yeah, to me it is. So for everyone imagining how the hat is sitting, it's sitting how I want it to when I'm in my civvies. I love that. How are you, man? Hey, man, I'm pretty good. What are the headlines?

Well, Carlo, Richie and I recently recorded another season of our podcast, Did Titanic Sink? In the middle of editing it. Huge. And we have a very tight deadline. Okay. So that's a fantastic piece of news compromised by the reality of delivery. Well, it's a funny old project because the first time we did it, season one,

Carlo flew over here from Canberra for a week to be with me. I remember I went and visited them where they were staying in Avondale. And I remember walking down with Carlo to pick up some cheeseburgers. Oh, that's so good. It was a great walk. I mean, the cheeseburgers, the whole thing was great. But I remember the walk. What do you mean? I just remember the cheeseburgers, the whole thing was great. But I remember the walk. What do you mean?

I just remember the walk with him. You said that in a way, I remember the walk as if it was quite loaded. I just remember the walk. I remember walking with him and thinking, this is, you know, I love Carlo. I'm sure we both do. And I remember on the walk, in my head, I thought, this is what it would be like if we lived in the same place. Carlo is like a human equivalent of your hat.

He's that hat. Yeah. He's that good. Yeah. He's that good. Women want him. So. He had a great opening. By the way, I just, I'll do one joke.

One of Carlo's jokes. Go on. He said he had a great opening where he'd say, so I'm bisexual. Sorry, everyone. That's a good joke Carlo and I were in New Zealand he came over for a week to record

five working days the previous season and then we recorded for two days and we didn't like how it sounded so then we just started a new we decided to start a new starting the Wednesday

we'll start again we've still got time and even doing it in five days was going to be tight we thought doing it in three days pretty tight ambitious then i got laryngitis on the wednesday and my voice went away yeah so then we recorded all of it on the friday word laryngitis we we got chelsea your can i say fiance you can say that does it sound cool? Where is my fiance? I cannot find my fiance. I've lost my fiance before, baby. We were like, we are fucked.

We need to bring in someone smart and creative who knows story and comedy and how to get some vibe going. So we got Chelsea to come in and direct us for a whole season, which turned out to be one day. Overlooked me, which I thought was interesting. But you know,

that's your prerogative. That's fine. Dog, it would not have gotten done. It would not have gotten done. No way would it have gotten done. With you not there, it would have gotten done and it would have been awful.

Like it would have been a hateful, yet stressy exercise. With you there, we would have had a great day and not handed it in. But with Chelsea there, we would have had a great day and not handed it in. But with Chelsea there, we had a pretty great time and got a fantastic product.

You got the best of both worlds, as my mick sorry says. And then that went so well. That was a very funny podcast. That went so well at one best comedy of the year at the New Zealand Podcast Awards. Incredible.

It got bronze overall for all the podcasts, no matter the genre. And then we handed a proposal to RNZ to say, Hey, wouldn't you like us to make a second season? And they sat on that for about six months and then came back to us and went, can you make it for very little money in a month?

And we were like, where have you guys been? We handed this in a while ago. That's good business. So then we recorded it last Thursday and Friday So now we're down to two days Which is better than one Yeah, I guess down from five, up from one

Yeah, exactly But the new season's great We did a, in particular, there's a phone interview Which is just incredible With a real person Just genuinely as a fan of the podcast And as a friend of you both, but mostly as an – just imagining I'm siloed off from my personal connection

to you and Carlo. As a fan of the podcast, it's so exciting that there's another season. Thanks, man. It's great. Yeah. But that must be – you're not tossing and turning about that, are you? No, not yet. Not yet.

You've got a full life. You've got things going. I've got two little kids now. Two little boys. Yeah, that's a good name. Remy hit his head yesterday too. It was really sad. Dang, how did it happen?

He fell off something at Motet, I want to say he was there. Were you there? No, no. He was in Anki. Took himself out. He loves that museum of transport and technology. He could probably, I'm teaching him how to do as much stuff as possible

for a two-year-old to do. You gotta. I reckon he could navigate the train system pretty well. And I'm trying to teach him what stops are like, the relevant ones. That's sick. I'm so for outsourcing, not outsourcing,

I guess that's not the right word. Encouraging as much, you know. If you can answer the question without me, don't ask me. Hard. If you can do that without me, you do it. Yeah, yeah. Trying to get all of his knife skills up. Oh, now this is an area I can get involved in.

How so? What kind of knives are you dealing with? Not especially, I mean, our knives aren't especially sharp at the moment anyway, but just like she makes. Oh, so we're talking about the knife knives. Yeah, she makes her lunch and she makes a ham. I'll let Rufus in. Come on in.

He wants to hear about it. She makes a ham and cheese wrap, you know. She likes to make a ham and cheese wrap in the morning and she's always trying to outsource the chopping of the cheese, which I understand. It's a slightly cumbersome part of the process. Cheese is fucking hard. You should get a cheese slice.

They're not that easy to operate either. But I'm saying you can do this. Just keep your cheese holding hand well away from the knife and just chop the cheese. And she said, I'm cutting it too chunky. That's what she says. And I said, if you keep practicing, soon you'll be cutting it thin. Yeah, that's true she says. And I said, if you keep practicing, soon you'll be cutting it thin. Yeah, that's true.

And it's, you know, it's good. Olive's got dyspraxia. And so I think it's important and very useful for her to use these fine motor skills. Hard out. Refine them. Absolutely. Get that dog on the mic. What do you reckon, Rufus?

Ruf, have you got thoughts? We're doing a parenting podcast at the moment. So it's a tribute. Yeah. Just a parenting podcast at the moment. So I would say, yeah. Just a couple of dads over here. Yeah, but it's been actually awesome. I've been away so much for work this year. You really have. The work you do is comedy.

Yes. And it's been going great. Yes, yes, it's going well. But basically, this week is, I think, the first full week I've had at home since February. Fuck. Chelsea's still away. She's away for work.

Listener note, it's June. Yes. I've had Olive at home. I've been working an office job writing the Australian spelling bee, Joseph Moore. And there's Australian writers, but they're not in the room with us. Who are the Aussie writers? We've got some great ones.

We've got a guy called Ben Caution. Okay. Very funny. He's got a special on YouTube. He's got a Spotify album called Hooli Dooley or something. Okay. Alex Ward. Mean.

Saran Gyerman. Henry Stone. Nice. Maggie Look. Carlo did some game development. We've brought in, you know development we've got we've brought in you know we've got

the big guns the big guns so working on that and then yeah just it's been this week has been the closest to normalcy

I've experienced since basically February you need to get your ass cancelled so your career just cools off a little bit so you can kick your heels up

I'd love to finish this block of work before i got cancelled if possible if you're gonna be spent just if i don't know what that sort of uh i'm doing it as a favor yeah i know i don't know what the allowance of the people that you know the the woke mob if it's you who's trying to cancel me we've got a diary we've got a diary well i'll kick you down so you know we've got a diary. We've got a diary. Well, I'll kick you down. We've got a few people before we were getting to you, but we'll just put you down a couple more. I'm begging you. We'll get this ABC show over the line.

Don't you worry. Thank you. Don't you worry about that. But, you know, I mean, life is good, man. It's good to see you. It's good to see you. It's good to see Rufus too. It's interesting too, because lots of people have been coming up to me talking about podcasting a tree.

I can't remember a fucking damn ass thing we said. We recorded it six months ago now. Yeah. In a day. Start of the year. Two days. Spread across two days. Technical nightmare.

True technical nightmare. Icarus. My reach for the sun. It actually sounds bad. Very unhappy with the quality of how it's come out. But I thought I'd lost all the files, but then I found a few backup ones. Our fantastic editor, Brendan,

has had quite the task trying to create something out of what survived. Well, the actual experience, if you remove the technical component, of recording the episodes was a delight. We had some great guests, found some great trees. It was summer. Had Ian on board, our cameraman.

Yeah. The distillation, you know, the memory of it, of the actual, you know, I have, they were all great episodes, but I really liked the tree and the conversation with Courtney. I remember thinking, this is living. And she made herself at home,

which I really liked too. I remember her sort of lounging at the foot of the tree, which is an interesting turn of phrase because trees don't have feet, obviously. The root. Well, there was a tree, a tree, a walking tree. There was a tree of the year. I'm sorry. We've got walking trees now.

What is this? Lord of the Rings? I'll tell you more about it. So. There's a light in here with a fan that is so loud and it's annoying me. Northern Rata or

Metrosodorus Robusta, the Latin, located near a cemetery in Karamea on the South Island's west coast has won the Tree of the Year Award. And this is an image of the tree. That's beautiful. See, it's got the two legs it looks like

a walking tree i got it on that oh i see what you're saying so is that one tree that's one tree that's not just one tree that's the oneing tree winning it's the one tree that won yeah buddy uh so it's so it's just it's good to see you i'm glad that everyone's good yeah man um you sleeping um sleep's not at an all-time high that was a mistake i just opened my inbox which i've been avoiding bad vibes dude a couple of days bad vibes in there i'm trying to get to the friendzone emails um've got to ignore all the other stuff Yeah You've just got to put your feet down

I reckon the ones that have all caps in the subject line And it's like pressing and urgent Don't want that Those have got to be your lowest priority ones Yeah, yeah, fuck all that Well, while you're doing that, can I say something? Which might be of interest to listeners in the United Kingdom Yeah

I'm coming to the United Kingdom Hello Or should we say tally-ho? Should we say chip-chip? which might be of interest to listeners in the United Kingdom. Yeah. I'm coming to the United Kingdom. Hello. Or should we say tally-ho? Should we say chip-chip-perio? Oh, you've forgotten all your British stuff. No, no, that's British. How quickly was that? So here's the news.

I'm coming to London. I'm going to do shows at Soho Theatre on the 15th, 16th and 17th of August. Then Edinburgh. Sick. Yeah, I'm going for the last week of the fringe. I'll do a week of my show there. And one big old live spelling bee for any spelling fans.

Huge. Yeah. This is huge news. You need to buy tickets. Guymontgomery.co.nz, I'm going to say. I'll have, it will redirect you to my link tree. And from there. You used to have Guymont Comedy, right?

As your website. Yeah. And it was a cool website. Yeah. But, um, my friend will, who made it,

uh, he was learning how to code. Sure. He couldn't, it's hard to maintain. Yeah. I get it. You do get it.

Hard to maintain. It's like a, um, growing up version of the stroke song. Hard to explain. Now for our New Zealand listeners, cause we've had a couple of messages about this mainly from joseph moore unfortunately we will not be going to see

rob schneider's live show on june 15th because i think we're both double booked i'm in i'm doing i am upsettingly but also kind of coolly i'm doing a show in christchurch on the same night i'm gonna say to more people than Rob Schneider. We'll find out because, yeah, when the posters

first popped up and stuff, I was like, we're fucking going. Dude. And then I looked at the calendar and I was like,

I literally can't. Not just going, I actually wanted to reach out and ask to open for him. Yeah, that would be fucking sick. He's going gonna fill up the sky city

how you can see i'm on the seating map it's going he's looking pretty good tickets i just want to know who's going to that i want to know 80 to 100 here's the thing about rob schneider's fan base because chris parker who's working on commercial radio at the moment was saying is he what station is he on he's on the edge so what bricky mat leave no he's on drive oh true and he was saying um what's the deal with rob schneider because they were going to do an interview with more whatever and i was like oh brother if you've not been tuning in you've missed a lot yeah but so gave him the download i said basically you know he's he's red-pilled himself he's got this he's a red-pilled himself. He's a red-pilled Buddhist. Yeah, yeah. He's gone ballistic.

And he was like, who's going to go to the show? And in my head, I think I figured out who will be at the show. So it will be sort of alt-right people who are a fan of the political turn he's taken or who have been following him down the sort of QAnon conspiracy holes. Do you reckon? And the other half of them will be people who have not engaged with his work since the 2000s so it's going to be a real hyper engaged in the completely disconnected exactly it's going to be a real interesting variety it is

actually devastating because joe you've you're running a gig that Joseph is on. Yeah. So the representation at the Rob Schneider gig is so low. I know. I just... Yeah, it's a blow. Honestly, it's a genuine blow. And it's a morbid curiosity, isn't it? He's been a case study on this podcast for years now. Indeed.

I am still interested in the question of whether or not we're punching down when we talk about Rob Schneider. It's an interesting question. I don't think it's answerable. It's like a philosophical quandary. You're not supposed to answer it. You're supposed to just sort of like chew over it. Yeah. What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Are we punching down? Yeah. Yeah. When deriding Rob Schneider? Don't know. Do you want a message? Yeah. This comes to us from the year 2023.

Do you remember that year? Yeah, it was last year. It was. And this is, this, this message is over a year old. Okay. It's from April. I was, this time last year, I was in Hamilton.

I checked. So in April, I don't know where I was. Probably Melbourne. Oh, this time 12 months ago, you were in Hamilton. Yeah. Sick. Hello, you brave, beautiful boys. I've just spent three wonderful months in beautiful Aotearoa.

And as I sit at the Wellington airport preparing to leave, I thought I should finally email the boys. And as you sit wherever you are in your life now, we thought we should finally get to that email. First, your country is lovely. I've been traveling a lot, and nothing beats New Zealand for beautiful views and amazing people. It's nice to have some context

for when you talk about different places on the pod. Second, on one of my last nights here, I dreamt that Guy and I were dating and on a cruise with his family. I promise it won't get any weirder than this. The best part is that Guy's dad kept cracking jokes and guy was desperate for us to sneak away with him not for any special alone time but because he was so annoyed by his dad finally that's like it's a detailed dream yeah my dad's there and i don't

like his jokes yeah ah you're gonna need a up. Finally, and the main reason I'm writing to you, is to commend you on making it through real Rob. Wow. Yeah. Crazy outworks. I guess not so crazy. It's true. We talk about Rob Schneider a bit. As a personal rule, I avoid any media you turn into a podcast called

unless I have seen it already. I have already seen it. So far, that's only been cats. However, I do watch the trailers for everything, unless I have seen it already. I have already seen it. So far, that's only been cats. However, I do watch the trailers for everything, so I have some context for the pod. That was especially helpful for We Are Your Friends since I had no idea what the movie was about and was able to confirm my suspicion

that Johnny Depp was, in fact, not in that movie. For every trailer I watched, I could at least see the appeal of why some people would like the movie or show that was not true for real rob that trailer involves some sort of argument about how much rob should tip at a coffee shop the dialogue and lack of like likability of any of the characters was stomach churning i can't remember for sure but i don't think i was even able to finish the trailer. All that to say, watching that hot garbage even once is testament to being good and brave boys. All the best to you. Say my name in that beautiful, sweet Kiwi accent of yours.

Jess. She, her. Jess. Jess, she, her. I'm not going to apologize for calling you brother. Brother's an inclusive term, I think. I think it's all inclusive. Oh, man, this is another message from

our fine homeland okay hey this is a light laptop on each step with peloton from their pop runs to walk and talks you define what it means to be a runner whatever your level embrace it journey starts when you say so if you've got five minutes or 50, Peloton Tread has workouts you can work in.

This might actually be the one time when it's useful. So you can use it like a tablet. You can just go like that. No. No. Tim with the tech, eh? What happens if I touch the keys on the back? It's like an accordion.

Yeah, it is. Hello, Mr. Bat. Hello. Writer. I turned 40 this week. Fucking happy birthday for. Hello, Mr. Bat. Hello. Writer. I turned 40 this week. Fucking happy birthday for last year, dude. Yeah, 41 now. Time, it comes for us all.

It's one of the things about time. It comes for all of us. Yeah, constantly coming. Oh, I've just touched something. We got rid of the message? Yeah, that looks like a business email. Oh, and we get here oh this is gonna be a night i've got so many things open i i legit don't know how to get back we got so many things here uh if if anyone is curious when tim was describing we are your friends i thought

when he was talking about johnny depp i thought who was that guy shiloh fernandez shiloh wait i thought shiloh was uh screw no what was screw's name school reached out to us that's right i remember that uh 2011 to break through did you close it maybe you closed it i was not trying to do anything naughty i i i acknowledge that uh alex schaefer do you know what's tricky as well now that email you open that is now off my to-do list because it is red well the main thing to remember is someone has turned 40 okay was it andrew it might have been yes this guy okay i'm to do... Don't do that trick you did. All right. The tablet trick.

Okay, well, if you touch the screen, it'll still do stuff. So feel free to go bananas. This screen? Yeah. That's what happened. You touched the screen and it did stuff. Oh. I am really not good with technology.

Do you think that of me? I can use it for like the traditional purposes. I don't think you're great with technology. No. Do you think I'm bad? No, I don't think you're bad. I don't think. No, because I'm really considering it.

We've got a lot of years together for me to draw from. No, I don't think you're bad with technology. I think you're normal with technology. Okay. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Appreciate that. You're welcome.

So a year and three months ago. He's got the fingers out. Andrew turned 40. Yep. And out of some confused desire to mark the occasion with a big to-do, I convinced a group of friends to watch my wife,

Emmy. Can we get my wife one more time, please? A group of friends to watch with my wife, Emmy, and myself the fine film

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. So, this is your 40th birthday. This is a once in a lifetime birthday That's a good point You're married One of those You're married and you've got friends And this is what you've chosen to do

It was the first viewing for any of us Oh wow Since we're spread around the US They weren't even all together The sign off on that email indicated to me It says Montana at the bottom Oh I read Mochawaka

Oh Crazy So We're spread around the US We're watching Through a popular film streaming platform That allows simultaneous watching So

Oh yep This is even more remarkable to me You cracked onto that a few years ago I've done that Doesn't matter Demarking the birthday Not by everyone getting together And watching it Yeah But by a simulcast I cracked onto that a few years ago. I've done that. Doesn't matter. Demarking the birthday, not by everyone getting together and watching it, but by a simulcast.

There's no sense of revelry to this birthday. Here's my interpretation. That's not for you to say. No, that's not. People are out there living different online lives now, man. Maybe the revelry exists on that stream. Maybe this person's good with technology maybe they are anyhow uh by coincidence of technical difficulties we discovered an interesting new way to engage with the film one of the watching groups was unable to prevent the

movie sound from coming through their video meeting software as well but thanks to the background noise filter on the software only the dialogue of the movie came through this resulted in most of the people watching getting just dialogue with no soundtrack background effects or any other sound without music cues to convey the emotional intent if any of the scenes so it became a play uh without this much of the movie took on a very grim tone many uncomfortable laughs were had yeah i'll bet i'm sure that you all don't need anything more to make your annual viewing of the film interesting but figured i'd share the fun more specifically twilight related i've taken up watching the fast and furious films in reverse order with you all

though only once per movie having Having a good time so far. Hope you two can keep your chins up through the thick of it at the back end here and look forward to the near weekly new films. It's referring to when we got down to the lower numbers. Take care and be well. This is from Andrew in Montana. So, Andrew, happy birthday. Twice.

And I suppose, just to get out in front of 2025, 42. That's the meaning of life from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Yeah. That's a great book. And I watched the film adaptation on a plane and actually thought it was pretty all right too. I heard it was quite all right. Was it Martin Freeman and Moz Def? I don't know if Moz Def's in it.

I haven't seen it, but I know Martin Freeman's in it because he did lots of press. Yeah. I'm glad you liked it. Hey, happy birthday two times from. That is interesting to reduce it to a play. What a crazy way to,

to do that. And also, but also like the, presumably the people watching have their own audio, but that audio as well. And it'd be a little bit off I guess they must have just Unless they're all watching one

I don't know man Boggles the mind Removing a soundtrack from a movie though It'll fuck up a lot of things That's an interesting thing to do For friendzone consideration Hello Tim Henderson and Gaisu Gaisu

Tim Henson Like Jim Henson and Gaiso. Like both, no? Yeah. What are we going for? Well, Tim Henson to me was like Tim Henman, who was a former men's British singles tennis player. Oh.

I don't think he won a major. Does that connect with Gaiso? No. Because I was thinking Jim Henson. Yeah. And then maybe one of the puppets. But now this Jim Henson's got a film about him. Yes.

They're just going to make documentaries about everyone, are they? Even someone as unremarkable as Jim Henson. I am a professional grower of cannabis in Oregon. Classic. And I wanted to write to you your many kind words about the quality of our leafy greens in my neck of the woods. Oh, wow. I started binge listening.

How much are we talking about?regon's weed oregon weed what do you say what's the adjective for oregon oreganoites no they're like oregano not the citizen they're like if something is of oregon oh oregonian or the origins of oregon oregonian weed. I started binge listening to your podcast a few months ago for work. For work. His job, our podcast. While in the greenhouse. And at present, I'm five episodes into Podcast in a Tree, somewhere around the 2021 portion of the feed.

I have also been an avid Till Death Do Us Blart fan for ages and always, can I say, at least one of us has something very special planned this year. And it remains to be seen how the rest of everyone else is going to go. But one of us is just doing something pretty big and you're not going to want to miss this one. One of us is just doing something pretty big. And you're not going to want to miss this one.

You're going to want to get on board. The way you've presented that information, the most exciting outcome is if it only is special for one person. For one person only. Which might, I don't know, it might happen. Your particular brand of Kiwi comedy has been a great way to whittle away the time spent pruning skunk cabbage and guys a prompt you knowledge of passer by apprentice contestants never ceases to amaze me um is that you talking about amarosa amarosa okay yes i am hopeful this makes it to the friend zone

Before I fully catch up But if it does not Then I'll have no choice but to restart the podcast From the beginning and listen again in its entirety Each time I run out of new episodes Until it is Say my name even if it isn't Cayman Edward Charrington III

The Grey Pilgrim I don't know how to say that Mithrand Servant of the Secret Fire Shepherd of Hobbits And Elf Friend Yeah buddy Cayman

Cayman's a good name That's a beautiful message That's so lovely And It was really strong I remember that about The weed in Oregon And I loved the state

Because it kind of reminded me of home We had it a lot I remember We had a good time in Oregon And I loved the state Because it kind of reminded me of home We had it a lot I remember We had a good time in Oregon Yeah Portland was cool Yeah Layout simple

Flat, leafy Shades of home Legal, strong weed My tolerance for weed is I wouldn't say at an all-time low But I think if I had any of what you're describing now Oh yeah It would absolutely

Send me sideways um this is a real short one i'm just going to read it hey tim saw a snippet on youtube poor people's netflix youtube is the thinking man's netflix can i say this youtube is going to outlast all streamers and social media platforms yeah it's quite crazy that they appear to have cracked it. Yeah. I read a long... And I guess they're sitting on all this data now. So when the AI age flourishes as it is,

I guess they're sweet there too. I've actually been too... I don't want to say too busy, but I'm too distracted to engage with any AI. Until you said AI then, I sort of forgot it was happening. Dude, I don't think people are actually using it. Really?

I think people who make computers have found, like computers have kind of leveled out for the last few years. They stopped improving by these leaps and bounds because they're good enough for everything now. Gaming's the only thing That I know of That's sort of pushing things Like

A really cheap computer Can serve your average person pretty well Yeah So they need to kind of come up with something They're like What about this fucking thing? Yeah What about this fucking thing?

It's like Do I need that? No Does it do anything for me? Not really Not yet But one day we think it might And this is Tim Bad Batt who's saying this.

Shout out to Clayton.

And I'd like to pass over to you what Clayton said to us. This is what Clayton reckons. Thank you, Clayton, for the money. Appreciate that. I've done it. A lot. I've figured it all out. That's not how it starts.

But I say, you might as well call me Pie Montgomery because I'm off to do some maths. Or, you know, just, you know.

And thankfully had the ability to send a little coin to the boys for the good you've done me. While I, unlike your other libertarian listeners, am not a phd student i am a law student well i hope you don't um come at me for slander slander libel liberal keep reading guy i wanted to give credit where it's due and thank you for your help with my final exams this year

vin and the whole family were vital to one of the answers on my final, and I know that without my lovely twilight fam to wade through the muck for me, I wouldn't have used Fast and Furious to ace my exams. Hey! Unfortunately, I can't be more specific without breaking the rules against sharing exam questions, so I'll leave it to you to imagine why Fast and Furious is vital to the law. Thanks for everything, boys, and please do not say my name,

just in case my professors are listening. Dude! everything boys and please do not say my name just in case my professors are listening come on a year on they've requested for their name to not be read a year on it's to do with What's it called? Extradition Oh, nice What's your guess? Speeding That came up in a law exam?

What do you think the question is in a law essay? The way they'd say it is, if Brayden was driving at 69 miles per hour and the speed limit is 50 miles per hour, how would he plead in court? The subtext is he's got a body tied up in the boot of the car. Oh, that's cool. It's the subtext. The students are a body tied up in the boot of the car Oh that's cool The students are just

You have to intuit that You have to intuit that I love that Because if you don't bring that up They're like no The whole thing isn't about the speed There is such a funny law exam It's like give you a really straightforward situation

You answer it They're like no They've got a body in the boot It's like what the fuck is this It's never what it seems gaslighting there's never life is more complicated

than you think hi frosty boys I saw this article and could not resist sending it over long time listener love the show this is a link to

a CNN article from I don't know how they do their dates so it's either the 5th of July or the 7th of May last year and it says

website wants to pay you a thousand dollars to watch all 10 Fast and Furious films. Here's why. I believe we got sent this a little bit last year. And I think it's been covered. I got to say, man, until hearing people talk about Fast and Furious, that has been scrubbed clean. Gone.

Fucking gone. It's the most recent one And yet I would say It's made the least impact In my brain Yeah It's the least sort of Psychic damage

Well Do you know what I always forget about Emmanuel Yeah That was That one Had to dig in that one That was a long year

Yeah Those pornos man Yeah Great characters. The great designer, Thomas Cottle, actually sent me a beautiful Emmanuel poster. And when I saw that, I thought. That he made? No, he just goes on a poster forum or whatever.

And I thought. They're making a new one. You know this? Emmanuel? Yeah. No way. Yeah. They're making a new one.

We've got to go see it. You think it's going to get a cinema release? I think it's kind of like they're going slightly prestige on it. Like they're bringing it back to its French roots, pun intended. So this is, I'm going to say this is our last one. Well, all right then. I'm looking for news for Emmanuel. Okay.

Shall I read? Oh, maybe I made this up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love for news for Emmanuel. Okay. Shall I read? Oh, maybe I made this up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love for you to read this. I'm still Saigon Pompeii in your emails. Yeah. Can you not change that? Oh, no, I can.

I like that. Hey, boys. Love the idea of getting Jenna. This is Jenna Friedman on the show. I've been a fan of hers for what seems like decades by now. Okay. I see it's a bit less than that from when she did these Ted and Gracie skits. And then there's a link.

Still love them. In the past few years, she's been popping up in a lot of my favorite podcasts. Not sure if she's doing even more guest appearances than others. I'm not listening to. But my impression is that the sort of podcasts I'm into are also into her brilliant style of comedy. However, it's not sort of podcast i'm into also into her brilliant style of comedy however it's not all comedy pods the one she was most engaged with is extremely political very activist and she's very much on the side of eat the rich my two cents is that killing her is right up her alley and it

couldn't hurt to bring it up so that whether or not she's interested in watching fast and furious with strangers she has somebody at the host on the same page even if this never turns political and thanks for making me a fan of Patty, as in Patty Harrison. So this is a lovely email, but we've probably missed the window of... Well, maybe, maybe not. You know, the future is long.

A thing that we might do next kind of opens us up to maybe... Talking to people. Yeah. Don't you think? Without them having to subjugate themselves to what we've been doing. Yeah, exactly. It's an appealing concept. Yeah. Don't you think? Without them having to subjugate themselves to what we've been doing. Yeah.

Exactly. It's an appealing concept. Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. Hey, we might like each other. Yeah.

Hey, you might not have to kind of psychically punch yourself in the dick to participate in this conversation. I'm sure I've already shared this on the podcast. Probably how we talked about it.

But I shared a room with Jenna at the Edinburgh Fringe We weren't doing our shows At the same time Oh yeah You did Yeah I thought you meant

Like an ACOM No I was very confused No no no That's quite an intimate Thing We didn't stay together Gotcha

That's a shame Gave it a go Yeah yeah The Emmanuel film Is happening Okay It's to open Oh well oh well Oh well, oh well, oh well

Tell me more, tell me more Who is playing the lead Tell me more, tell me more Where is George Lazenby Nice It's described as Audrey Dywan's Emmanuel

I guess that's the director It's going to open San Sebastian Film Festival Shit And that's happening On September 20 That'll be the world premiere Should we go

Where's that Where's San Sebastian Do you think Look it up South America San Sebastian Film Festival I think it's Spain

It feels Spanish doesn't it The Spaniards would love that sort of thing In San Sebastian Spain Naomi Watts is in it Eh? Naomi Watts is in it That's pretty out the gate French actress

I'm gonna fuck this one How would you say that first name Naomi Naomi Milan is Emmanuel and Naomi Watts

is also in it Jamie Campbell Boa who's from Stranger Things I don't know who Jamie Campbell Boa is this is a star studded yeah it is.

They're fucking... They're bringing it back to the prestigious origins of the franchise. If I go to news, Audrey Dewan's Emmanuel. Yeah, it's on Variety. It's on all the trades. Yeah, it's happening.

I was reading that on Deadline. I watched Singing in the Rain. Oh! Have you seen that? I have, weirdly. I've seen so few movies but a phenomenal couple years ago i struggle to believe we've made a better movie in the 70 intervening years yeah than singing so good really stunning fuck yeah all right make him laugh cosmo i don't know the actor's name i mean you really used to have to be able to do a lot to be a star fuck you dude there were so few people who were movie stars and it was like yeah the ones that were the greatest actor

singer dancer the most charismatic person proper idea of a triple threat is nuts and anything with practical effects man i mean yeah there was what was so cool about the barbie movie that they brought that back like big I forget what it's called But when you get like You just paint a soundstage Yeah And just put shit in there It looks so much better

It does Have you seen the new Mad Max? Yeah I went on Monday Was it awesome? Mad Max More like IMAX Was it awesome?

I saw it in IMAX Yes Yes it was. Arguably not as awesome as Fury Road. Okay. Not as unrelenting. Thoroughly enjoyable. A little long in the tooth for me.

And also the hybrid of some phenomenal set pieces. Impressively funny. But the hybrid of practical and CGI effects, they kind of blurred the line. I feel like there's a compromise between George Miller and the studio. Well, I don't know. Because wasn't there very little CGI stuff in Fury, right?

Yeah. And that's kind of made it so visceral. Exactly. This one, they've sort of made it hard to tell, which I can't tell who that's for. I hate that. But there's a big chase sequence with a big sort of war truck in the middle

that is like, you know, the creativity on display with the way that they get some people into fights and then out of fights. There's a lot of bodies. Sick. I want to go see it. Yeah. I'd say worth it. It's been a bomb.

Might be the last one. I saw that, which sucks. But is that the people who reckon, reckon that might just be like a Cinema thing rather than the movie Well you know what's been doing gangbusters at the box office June 2 Garfield Ah yes

I have heard that Bit of a problem I didn't even know So what is that? Have they What's going on? It's a really Ugly style of CGI

With Chris Pratt as Garfield. Oh, fuck. But confusingly, he's doing the Mario voice. Here's to me, Garfield. They both love lasagna. I was going to say. And they both hate Mondays just like Italians.

Samuel L. Jackson plays Garfield's dad who abandoned him and he comes back into Garfield's life. So they're trying to get Garfield moving around. Yeah. All right, folks, that's going to do it for us because we actually need to tragically go and sort out our shit. I want to say it's been a pleasure. Yeah, it's been so nice. So I will. Tim, it's been a pleasure. So yeah Tim It's been a pleasure So Yeah And We're going to do another one of these At least And then

And then We might do this thing That we're thinking of doing Yeah Which we hope you enjoy I think if you like us You'll like it I think so

And if you don't like us If you're listening to this If you're on the If you're sitting on the fence You might like the new thing If you're listening to this Out of spite Or like

We simplified it. It's flat. Five bucks, you're in the club. Done.

Flat. Five. Flat five. Five. What's five times twelve? Sixty. Bang. Sixty.

That's an annual membership. Two years, 120. See ya. Three years, 180. Four years. Fuck. 240. Five years. 3 years, 180 4 years fuck 240 5 years 300, that can't be right

no that must be right what's 5 times 6 300, 5 years 600 7 years no, 6 years 360 600. Seven years? No, six years. 360?

Are we going up in increments of 60 or 80? It's 60. So, here's how it goes. It's $5 a week, a month. Fuck. $5 a month. 60 a year.120 every 2 years $240 every

4 years $240 is $480 every 8 years that feels like a good deal $480 for 8 years of anything that's a bargain well it's what I think
