Welcome to the Friend Zone, in the Friend Zone, you're always home, in the Friend Zone, you're not alone, anytime, with Tim and Guy. Hello, hello, Friend Zone. Oh, wow, you are all business this morning. In what way? You know I come to your house And by the way I made you a coffee You made me a coffee

I got you a chocolate becky Oh okay We exchange stories about how our weeks are going I've been at an antenatal class I've been at a comedy gig at a university in Waikato Yes What do you think was funnier? The antenatal class or the comedy gig?

And by the way, can I say this? At this stage in the pregnancy, surely you guys should be pronatal. I hope the gig went better than that. Yeah, I had a much smarter audience. Yeah, nice one. Fuck me up, dude. It was cool It was

The funny bit was I was there by myself Was it a class That you've been to before? No This was the first Like kick off of Baby group

By the way folks If you're just tuning in I'm having a baby in September It's just been announced Guy's known for some time But we've Just gotten around to doing The big

Public noise The world knows And the world is very excited It is going to be an incredibly intelligent And beautiful and empathetic progeny That's so kind of you to say And when it reaches the age of 18 We'll tell it who its real dad is I will commit my entire life

To destroying them I shouldn't say it It's a boy. As far as we know so far. So it's him. Hey, little fella. What are you chortling at? You.

Oh, yeah, I'm funny. You addressing my future son. It's very exciting. So you were in an antenatal class, first of the bunch, by yourself. Yes. Zoe, not to be seen. She had a work commitment. She is. It was funny, though though i was the only one there solo and i think normally like if there was going to be anyone solo at an antenatal

class you'd expect the guy to be a fuckwit and peg out but it turns out in the case of my partnership the woman was the fuckwit that lazy wench trudging around her professional obligations carrying your unborn son. Tell me about it. Zoe needs to pull finger. Yeah, no doubt about it. I'm sick to frickin' death of it. Well, Tim, I didn't have an antenatal class. I did a comedy show to sort of 60 very well-behaved students in Hamilton.

It's not really what you want, is it? What do you make of the use of today guy they are seemingly a very obliging um sort of forward thinking quite like that they are they aren't necessarily a perfect comedy audience um they caught one of the comedians uh corny dawson is very funny as a maori woman was joking about her heritage her father being maori and her mother being pakiha and there's a joke which is sort of built around how traditionally it's a great bit white people have the run of the land and obviously courtney is performing this joke it is her lived experience and so that is licensed to laugh yes there's a

sharp intake of breath from everyone like Really Yeah and you're sort of like She's allowed Yeah loosen up This is her thing This is a joke But no largely They were fantastic They're intelligent

And I think the youth of today Fuck man They're off the piss Can I say that 100% They do not care for the piss Totally off the piss I even find that

In the comedy scene Like you know The next wave of comedians Are much more like They want to go outside And have a smoke Than sit around and sink beers. There's a quiet dignity to sitting around sinking beers. There is.

Well, this is what I think. Us sort of millennial dinosaurs sadly picked up both of these vices. We love to sit around and sink piss until we go outside and smoke pot. Well, yeah, smoking pot maybe, but that's fine. But we are a generation that I think darts like skipped over us. We did skip darts. We did not crush darts. Some of us fell into the vape trap,

but I think there's more vapists in the younger generation, the younger hordes. And it's so sad because we almost kicked nic um nicotine addiction like as a thing the rates of smoking were going down down down down especially for youth and then smoking you know what though what about if we vaporize it well yeah it became delicious it became like going to a candy shop and people who never smoked cigarettes took up vaping we just love putting things in our mouths don't we it is honestly something to do with your hands and mouth. And, I mean, you know this.

One of my closest friends through all of my schooling years went out and started a vaping sort of store. Empire. Empire, yeah. He pretty much is now like a multi-millionaire. He runs a vape emporium. Yeah, that man is a loose cannon also. I've met him like three times

You'll be interested to hear He's about to have a baby too On the same timeline as you That's awesome Those kids could take up vaping together I don't know about all that Should we dump into the mailbag Should we open the mailbag and take a big steaming shit

Seems like a good idea to me. I've got some emails here that I'd love to read. Tim, before we do that, this isn't something we do usually. Can you tell me a song that you've just been really fucking digging on lately? Can you recommend me a song? Do you know, I've been listening to You Quite Done. Yeah. I've been listening to some classic rock recently.

Been getting back into Kiss. Yeah. They're not good songs, but they're songs that make me feel good because of my association with good times, you know? Yeah. So, like, mus musically i can't recommend them but i recommend you being me and listening yeah yeah okay it's a bit of a challenging recommendation detroit rock city you know that always fucking kicks um i mean the thing is there

is genuinely a time and a place for every song oh here's a song by one of the members of kiss but not by the band ace freely has a song called back of the members of Kiss, but not by the band. Ace Frehley has a song called Back in the New York Groove, and I tell you what, I love it. Yeah. Steve Simpson introduced me to that song. He won't be listening, but shout out to him nonetheless. How is that guy? He's good. I did a radio show with him ages ago

on the weekends. I replaced Jeremy Wells as his co-host. Wow. Because I produced for them. Oh, someone in Australia is ringing me. You've got to take that. Take it on the line. Come on. I'm probably going to delete this later.

Hello? Hello? Hi. Nah. nah could you hear the other end of that only just but it sounded like someone who really wanted to talk to you about an exciting business yeah yeah I get a few of those it's just like oh man you're in demand

um no it's just my phone number's accidentally been published online somewhere Or they dredged through records of something Anyhose, we don't need to dwell on that No, sir But a fun call nonetheless Have you got a song you want to recommend?

Yeah, well, yeah, sure I listen to Oh, you're so caught off guard Well, I felt like it had guard Well, I sort of was I felt like it had reached its logic It sort of buttoned it off I thought maybe I could give you one off, Mike Maybe I could give you one next episode

But yeah, there's a song I like Too generous, Guy If you open up something like that You ask me a song You return serve You got to, man You can't leave that ball on your side of the court, can you? I mean, look, I'm just assuming you have one in your head

That you wanted to get into. Do you mind if I move that just slightly? It's a cup of coffee. I'll just hold it and drink it. It's a cup of coffee, folks. I'll hold it and drink it. It's very close to the audio desk. Can I say, loving the energy in here today.

Okay, cool, man. I have been listening a lot to a song called Fanny, F-A-N-N-I-E, Likes To The Number, Dance. And I'll tell you, it's by an artist that I don't know anything else they've released. They're called, I don't know anything about who this artist is. They're called Merle, M-E-R-L-E, on Spotify, which is where I found the song.

This is the only song really that's done anything. They haven't released a lot of music. I found it on a, have you heard of the Back to Mine album series? They get like really great DJs or producers or artists or bands to curate an album of music that you would play if people hypothetically came back to yours. Oh, that's nice. Yeah.

Hey, sorry, what's the name of the song again? Fanny Likes to Dance. Fanny Likes to Dance. I'm going to play some of it in the podcast And I'm aware that this probably isn't kosher That's crazy stuff I don't give a shit But it's such a good premise

So this is the Jungle You know the producers Jungle This is their Back to Mine album I found it on that And then I just pulled it out And cannot for the life of me stop listening to it Well that's a hearty endorsement It's going to take me a second just to connect I just pulled it out and cannot for the life of me stop listening to it. Well, that's a hearty endorsement.

It's going to take me a second just to connect things up here. What do I do? I turn that on. Bit of this, bit of that. You want to say anything else about it while I'm doing this? I was using this opportunity to get my mailbag ready. Well, shit. Part my cheeks and take a big hearty dump. Yeah, I love this shit.

I love this shit. We really should just have a radio show, eh? Yes, I keep thinking it. It's crazy we don't. And that's, you know... thinking it. It's crazy we don't. That just drives through the whole song. Oh yeah, what would you rate it out of 10? The song? Yeah.

10 being the best possible song. Yep. 8? Cool. I think that now qualifies as review, so it might protect us better. Hey hey this is this is Ace Frehley back in the New York groove yeah nice oh wow yeah

real you know what I call this drumming what? chopping wood real right 4-4 beat ACDC are famous for it man Strumming? What? Chopping wood. We were like, four, four beat. ACDC are famous for it, man.

Just every song. Do it. Do it. Do it. Chopping wood. Bass on the two, snare on the four. I guess you're an ACDC song. Now, to you, I'd like to say this.

I got a message. We, in fact, have a message. And it's girthy. I'm getting ready to get my mental hands around this big girthy message. Friend Zone, colon. Hello, Tim and Guy. I can't think of any witty names for you two, and I'm not even going to try. I will.

Guy Manick and Tim Tron. Okay. Being a fan since 2018, when an Edinburgh Fringe radio co-host introduced me to the concept of you two, I was instantly hooked and simultaneously gutted that neither of you were appearing that year. By the time 2019 had come about, I was back living at home in the sunny southeast of Ireland. You two have gotten me through various mental breakdowns,

many flights between Edinburgh and Ireland, several lockdowns, and you're unknowingly helping me in the final weeks of my, guess what this motherfucker's doing? A PhD. Masters in technical communications and e-learning. It's not quite a PhD, but completing it online has been a hell of a challenge, so I'm proud of myself regardless.

And can I just say, as well you should be. Yeah, man. I did some online education, and I tell you what, I didn't get to the finish line of a bachelor's level degree. I was two papers shy. And you thought? I thought, I'm done. I'll get to it later, and then I never did papers shy. And you thought? I thought, I'm done. I'll get to it later.

And then I never did. Respect. So to get a master's by distance learning? Fuck. I tipped my hat. My God. Currently listening to, this is at the time of writing, obviously, Friendzone 122, May 13th, 2021.

And one of the writers mentioned they were from Wichita. Wichita, Kansas This brought back memories of a previous episode Where you two opened with a stunning rendition of Wichita Lineman By the inimitable Glenn Campbell Since that episode, the song has been a weekly listen for me Isn't this incredible to think that we were discussing music And radio

And then the first thing we get into is a sort of... Music and radio. That's right, it's crazy. If not daily. And I think of the Frosty Fellas every time. Do you have any songs you listen to that inherently bring you to a certain point in life, silly or otherwise?

Hey, where is... Oh, Witch Tower is in Kansas. I'll hopefully be able to write again in just over a month when I'll be finished my dissipation. I hope you don't dissipate after you've gotten that degree my friend uh when i'll be finished my dissertation i'll be sure to give you to an acknowledgement say my fucking name dunna pronounced dunna kind of like donna but with more of an uh than an on in water foods pS. For the History Nerds, Waterford.

Da-da, da-da, da-da, and the Masters. Oh, wow, yeah. I didn't see that coming. For the History Nerds, Waterford is one of, if not the oldest city in Ireland, founded by the Vikings

in around, guess the year. 630. Not a bad guess. 853. Also, I've deactivated my page, but I'm still happy to have my name read out. Should I be lucky enough to make it to the friend zone? Yours faithfully, Dunner.

Dunner's doing it correctly, which is destroying your Facebook except for Messenger. That's where it's at. Absolutely. I actually want to create a shell Facebook account Where I have no friends And just make myself a controller of Pages

Pages And then just Take my hand off the fucking wheel I really do Fucking love the concept of That we've just been in people's ears While they're boxing around I guess it's like the whole thing of a podcast isn't it

But when you're recording it You're not thinking about guess it's like the whole thing of a podcast, isn't it? But when you're recording it, you're not thinking about where it's being received. Not at all. But I listen to podcasts while I do everything, really, and especially traveling, going through international airports and stuff. They turn what normally would be kind of a stressful chore or a lot of waiting around into a cool chill.

I can't remember if I've said this on air, but I was telling the people as we drove back from the gig last night, what I've been doing recently if I'm flying by myself, is I get stoned before I arrive at the airport and I just walk through listening to Soulboson. I can't remember the name of the song. It's the theme song from Austin Powers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think that's right, Soulboson. Yeah, yeah. And it is honestly a life-altering experience. You know, airports are crazy. Like the line between just being in an airport with everyone living their lives and literally being in your own music video is a pair of headphones. Yeah. And if you're listening to...

You can't help but sort of be throwing out points. And people don't like that. But it feels good. sort of be throwing out points and people don't like that but it feels good everyone in like um jobs should be able to wear headphones you know you think about an airport all the people rocking around there there's so many people like even if you work in a shop i reckon you should be able to have one can i introduce a situation i was uh chelsea and olive and i recently went to the library to return and withdraw some books.

Okay. Mount Roscoe Library, if you're asking. I was going to try and guess what you were returning at the library, but you beat me to it. It was books. Yeah, you got it. And there was a guy, some sort of security. He wasn't a librarian.

He wasn't a librarian, folks. Can you also tell us who Chelsea and Oliver are? Chelsea. Because you just say these names. Chelsea. People tune in at different points in time. Chelsea is the woman I love. And Olive is her biological, but our shared, daughter.

Yes. And that's not to say that Olive doesn't also have a fantastic dad and and his partner she's very lucky to have two incredibly doting and loving sets of parents damn right we went to the library our family unit and uh there was this guy he was wearing fluoro he was like ostensibly security for the library but i you know i don't know there was nothing untoward happening it seemed like a pretty mellow place but i assumed his job would be to monitor conversational levels but he had headphones in and i was like you're undermining you know your ability to do the one part of your job that i assume you're here for no he's there to stop people stealing the books

although that's actually really easy to do because you can just walk out with them and then not return them why would you steal a library book why would you steal anything well because oh because you have to pay for most yeah i see what you're saying you can just have the use of the book anyway for free yeah without breaking the law or yeah unless you're using it as firewood or something. Anyway. Using it as firewood. So before we move on, just to satisfy Dunna's question, any songs you listen to that inherently bring you to a certain point in life,

silly or otherwise? Is there any song that is a very visceral sort of... There's one that I recently added. I think... Oh, God damn it. What's the name? I actually have a funny feeling. I've talked about this already on this very podcast we're talking about,

but it's like this, it's a comedy song done by, they called like the dog bongo band or something. Yeah. Oh God. How am I going to find it guy? The incredible bongo band. Nah,

it's like dog is in the... This is a dead end. I'm not going to be able to do this while I'm talking. I can't search for it and I can't simultaneously try and remember what it is verbally while trying to search for it on Spotify. There's a song that I... It was probably Melbourne Comedy Festival 2017 or 18. There was a song I listened to on repeat before every show I did, and it was Do Not Disturb by Drake.

And even now, so if I listen to it out of context, I'll always be back in the tiny room I had to get ready in before the show. But even now, if I feel anxious before a show, if I put that song on, it will sort of restore me to a place where I'm like i can do this i've done this before bro i had so i think you and i in particular but i think most comedians do this but we we definitely every comedy festival season you and i get on a buzz where we're like okay what's the pre-show music and so we'll either have it in our headphones when we're in the green

room waiting to go out on stage or demand it be piped into the auditorium. One of my favorite parts about putting on an hour long show is curating a playlist for people to arrive and wait to. So for my recent adventures in the South Island, I've gotten on to this guy called 3D Blast. And this is like an example of some of the further reaches of my insane music taste so like obviously this will not be for everyone but um i sent him an email because i found him because he doesn't have like a huge amount of followers and stuff on soundcloud and whatever and i was like hey man i just want to say that you rule and i love your music and it's like been awesome to listen to while i've been doing my comedy show and he was like thanks man and he was like oh wait you're that guy that rocks

um what's a good i think this one's good oh this oh that's the name of the album oh yeah this one it's uh this is your house music this is what I listen to in my headphones I don't chuck this out to the room you don't assume everyone's going to be in on this I don't think the good people of Littleton would enjoy this in particular not in a port town but I suppose if you listen to this through multiple places

this will ground you always in that little tour you just did and I've been smashing it man he's got such a good back catalogue of like three or four stunning lps sample heavy it's a genre that i would refer to as future funk which is kind of like a branch off of um vaporwave yeah but it samples a lot of japanese jazz in particular and like anime there's a real um i i get into real moods and times and places when this music scores life perfectly and i love the feeling of sort of you know i mean this is what i say about all genres of music it's like there are times when it's just it hits you right

where it needs to and it sort of yeah does what it needs to do. What station do you reckon we should join? Should we be on George? George FM? No. The local EDM station in New Zealand? Here's the problem. Whoa. I did not see this coming.

Um... The issue is that if we wanted to be financially recompensed for our time as radio hosts, we would not be given any control over the playlist. How do we get a show where we are legally allowed to play music? I don't need to be paid well. NTS.

What's that? It's the greatest online radio station in the world. By the way, that was 3D Blast, if you're into that kind of thing. You want to look them up. NTS is where I go when I want to listen to new music. And is it hosted? It's hosted. So there's a physical.

Let's start a fucking show. There's a physical station in London and one in LA, but you get people from all around the world. Why aren't we doing this? Well. Let's start a show. Okay. Let's start a show.

It's a very cool. Oh, you have to ask them. It's not like an open platform thing. It's not open platform. No, no, no. It's a very cool, well curated station. Oh, I see. I see.

But you can search music on the app you can search music by genre so you can listen to radio shows that are like genres and you'll find all or you can search individual songs and it'll show you every radio show that it's showed up on it's um it's unreal how many like shows are on there is it thousands innumerable i couldn't tell you how many shows so it's so you gotta like apply to them to ask if they'll give you a... Oh, this looks important. Shit. I just found a screw.

Hmm. That one. That looks important to me. That does look important. Well, oh well. I've assembled a computer recently. We can talk about all this later. What we should do is continue shitting in our mailbag

Taking a shit, yeah Is it my turn? It's your turn Riley writes Hello Mitt and Yong No, there's no N Mitt and Yug Oh, it's Guy Backwards

I get it You may not remember But you read an email from me on the friendzone a couple years ago I was the trans woman who was getting through a rough Coming out by listening to you frosty fellas suffer through sex in the city the friend zone a couple years ago i was the trans woman who was getting through a rough uh coming out by listening to you frosty fellas suffer through sex in the city i felt obligated to write in and let you know that i'm at least the third person to have discovered the mackerel is because of you yes i had heard of them but i'd never given them a listen until deathblatt i

figured if they were good enough for you to to spend the rest of your life's recording a podcast with they must be worth my time as well 2020 was a train wreck of a year and it doesn't look like things will be getting better anytime soon where I live but if being furlonged from my job for oh furloughed yeah

right yeah furloughed from my job for six months did anything it gave me plenty of time to binge the past seasons of Worst Idea again as well as finally get around to hosting and overlooked and undercooked parentheses though i still don't get why the stand-up special was titled asian mama ah mexican kids i do get this quite a lot on my individual correspondence lines and so i'm only too happy to address it on the podcast do you know tim would you like to have a stab at explaining or shall i i think you should take the horns on this i think

bucking i think it would be quite nice if you got a turn to explain the title no it's quite complex i'm i am not smart enough okay well i've forgotten the first half what's the first half asian mama now that denotes uh rob's asian heritage because his his mama is filipino so um you want a reminder on the other part he's asian yeah yeah sorry mexican kids okay so he is he married a woman who is from me or is Mexican. And so his children are Mexican. They're mixed heritage. Riley continues.

Here's hoping you good, good boys. That is why it is Asian mama Mexican kids. Make it through the Emmanuel movies with your sanity intact and boners uninspected. Say my now legal name, Riley Lucas. Congrats. That's a huge moment. Hell yeah, Riley. That rules.

Riley's from Little Rock, Arkansas. You know who else is? The Clintons. Yeah, it's a famous, it's a very famous place called Little Rock. I feel like I hear it all the time. Yeah. Little Rock, Arkansas. Thank you so much, Riley.

What a beautiful piece of correspondence. Our sincere congratulations. Congratulations on, yeah, this next phase in your personal journey. And I hope that the context you're in around like in your, so you're going to keep doing that? No, I'm just trying to get it just right. I'm sorry. It's kind of my fault because that mic stand is a pain in the butt.

No, no, no. What if you take that spring off? Just one of those. Because maybe the fact there's two on there is providing too much tension. And you can make that noise while I address the rest of my commentary to Riley. Riley, I hope things get a little bit brighter and shinier and easier. Fuck, man. That was...

Perfect. Yeah. Literally perfect. bit brighter and shinier and easier fuck man that was perfect yeah literally perfect um america we're all rooting for you seriously guy keeps adjusting his microphone in solidarity with you the good people of the united states and your constitution that's right not your constitution is in the document. Your constitution is in your guts. The Constitution of the United States. Everyone assumes they're talking about the founding document, but 50% of the time people are talking about the feel of the people. Yeah. And the more you know, the better you feel.

So eat your beans for every meal. Chris writes in i realize i'm at risk of becoming your pedantic biology friend nemesis but in the recent pod in a tree don't know what episode the message was sent on the 19th of june there's no way you're in a strangler fig strangler figs grow up other trees using their trunk as a support to the fig can you so the fig can use most of its energy to grow, expand, rather than grow a trunk. They're called strangler figs because eventually they kill their host tree. Your friend likely picked up the leaf of a strangler fig that is growing on whatever it was you were actually perched in the bower of.

Here to help, but painfully aware, I might just be annoying the shit out of you. Not at all. This is fantastic knowledge, and you should not be hiding your light under a bushel, which I think is an appropriate metaphor considering the... You're some sort of biologist, presumably. Well, I was going to say... Oh, shit, I've forgotten the word. What are plant peeps called?

Nerds? Botanist. Plant fuckers? Tree huggers? Your botanical expertise. I believe that was the episode with David Kourios. The great David Kourios, who is absolutely stealing the show on Taskmaster NZ,

available on TVNZ On Demand and Terrestrial TV here. I'm going to torrent it. I'm going to screen grab and torrent the whole... I'm going to put it on the torrent. I think it's already on the torrents. The New Zealand one The full episodes of season 2 are on YouTube And someone else has put them up

Yeah I mean if you can use a VPN And travel through the TVNZ on demand site Because that traffic helps tabulate their data And it means that they're encouraged to make more of the show But otherwise if you've got no means Just fucking hit it on YouTube Yeah dudes

Guy's on it you fuckos. He didn't mention that. Yeah, I'm on it. Guys are contesting. Hey, dickheads. I'm on it. Hey, idiots. Guys on this one.

Icarus. Such a good name. Hey, kings. Love to hear you shout out trans listeners. Yee-haw. That's not how you say that word, but it's how it's spelled in this email. Y-E-E-H-A-W. Yee-haw. That's not how you say that word, but it's how it's spelled in this email. Y-E-E-H-A-W. Yeehaw.

That's how cowboys say it. I had hoped you'd have a better time with the Velocipasta. It is my favorite movie. Thanks for your show. Love, Ike, a.k.a. Icarus. Oh, Icarust. .bandcamp.com. That's I-C-A, Icarust..bandcamp.com. That's I-C-A-R-U-S-T.

Hey, while we're bloody Bluetoothed up to the desk, should we give it a hone? 100%. Listen to Icarus. Icarust. Music. I don't know how this works. Oh, they've just got really gorgeous album art,

so it confused me. Cool images of things. This track is called He's Got A Way. That's a good key change. What could I do but stay Oh That's pretty.

I like that. Icarus is in, would you believe it, Virginia. Virginia. Land Virginia Thank you for sending that in Yeah thank you Thank you so much Tim I just want to read this out

Because you won't be able to address it And I feel like I saw I guarantee I will be able to Online recently Could you please Tell me where I can find season one I'm a Patreon supporter And wouldn't mind paying for it If it's behind a paywall somewhere Thank you I appreciate you both Could you please tell me where I can find season one? I'm a patron supporter and wouldn't mind paying for it if it's behind a paywall somewhere.

Thank you. I appreciate you both. Nah, dog. I'm pretty sure what's happened is the podcast has so many episodes. Now that Apple, um, I,

uh, what's it called? Podcasts on iTunes is like, it gets a bit shitty on it. So what I did specifically is if you go to worst idea of all time.com, um, and you go to the menu there's a oh my god is this a dead link oh no i haven't no i'm all good um you can go if you in the menu there's a button called seasons click on that it'll take you to episode one of season one nice it's just, it's got it embedded in a page.

So you can kind of start there. And maybe I should actually add on that same page, the start points of all the seasons. So you can just like kick off from there. That's very useful and practical advice. What I've been literally like, fuck, I should just,

I should commit to doing it today or something. Can I just ask quickly, do we have the same bum bag? Yeah. Yours is smaller, I think. But we've got the same color, it's the same brand, eh? I think so, yeah. Patagonia, if anybody's asking.

A fantastic brand. Yeah. They're so good. Yeah. Although I think they recently announced they're going to take their labels off everything. Oh, wow. Which is, like, good, but their design is actually dope.

I love their logo. They've got a beautiful logo. What I need to do is add the metadata for all the hundreds of episodes that we've got so it's a little more searchable. But I'm just so scared that when I do it, it's going to like break the podcast. Plus, what season of Friendzones? You know, how do I categorize that? I guess Friendzones, you just put friend zones

under their own season. One through... Maybe I'll just attribute all them to 10 or something. It goes like, yeah. And then what about overlooked and undercooked? You know, that's in there. Do I just leave that blank? Those are hard decisions, folks.

But I should sort out all the normal ones. With our prodigious output, there's a wealth of content, sort of double helixing around itself. Fun problem to have. Can I read this to you? Yes. Dear Timmy and Guy Guy, this is from Twitter, by the way.

Hello, Twitter. At Twio at Pod. Hello, Twitter. I'm Dad. Hi, Dad. I'm Twitter. Dear Timmy and Guy Guy, I've been listening to you guys for years now and even got to meet you guys for your live show in Brooklyn. You have truly brought so many laughs into my life.

I was so excited seeing that Tim and his wife now have a baby on the way. I just wanted to say congrats to Timbo. Thank you. And that I know he's going to be a fantastic father. It's been so nice watching you both grow so beautifully. I can't wait to one day make a trip to New Zealand and see you guys again. Say my name, Claudia Slutsky. Claudia.

C-L-A-U-D-I-A. Van Morrison. Man, that guy has got some cold takes. Oh, does he? Yeah, he's no good. True. Very good at writing songs about women with brown eyes, though. Famously.

$50 came our way. Holy heckamole. In the currency of USD, and the person who sent it is named Sarah. And let me see if there's a message. Dang, I can't see one. Maybe Sarah just sent it on through without a message, which is no matter what you did, that is a serious amount of money. Yeah.

And we're incredibly grateful for it because it's donations like yours that keep worst idea enterprises on the airwaves. It's donations like yours that help people like us. Should we finish there? Yeah. It feels

good. We've had our fun. Listen, we've had a lot of loves. Yeah, we have. We've skirted a lot of copyright laws. We've made a lot of memories. I just wanted a lot of copyright laws We've made a lot of memories I just wanted to actually say While I was combing for correspondence I was on our Discord I don't actually know how to join Discord

So we got a Fuck off A Masterchef contestant Who's the name? On Discord Wait is that bad? Maybe we shouldn't get that out I don't know enough to know.

Me neither. We should... The great thing about the Discord is some people put their hands up real early on and were like, yo, I'll help you. I'll admin this.

And they have. I set up my own... Seems like a good community. I set up my own Discord and it's literally just a stream of me every month talking to myself. This is bizarre.
