Starting point is 00:00:00 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 everybody and welcome to the Friend Zone. In fact, I reckon I can tell you what number it is because i'm signed into the patreon let's have a look at this shit 131 guy what do you what do you think of that that's a big number it is we decided to video this one so if you're on patreon uh hopefully this worked and um this is available as a video yeah a video video video for no particular reason. Just because we have the technology now. For everyone in the Patreon, you will have enjoyed me adjusting my camera shot.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And you'll also see my running shorts drying here in the background of frame. Very nice. Very nice orange color. Been taking these bad boys for a few spins lately. You're wearing a mask, eh, when you run? I saw your tweet. Yeah, I do. I wear a mask.
Starting point is 00:01:10 I take a mask and I wear it. And then if I get like a big stretch where there's no one around, I let myself breathe. But as soon as I see another person, I put it on. And I tweeted. It's not that hard. No, I tweeted to the effect that that's what I would encourage people to do because it's like the piece of mind. I mean, it's just the hard no i tweeted to the effect that that's what i would encourage people to do because it's like the peace of mind i mean it's just the right thing to do the peace of mind it
Starting point is 00:01:30 affords everyone it's just a basic common decency and if you tweet an opinion which i very rarely do man people get cross people come for you. And I was actually talking with Chelsea about it before. And I was like, but you know what? That's not my business. I don't care. Maybe one other person who's been running without a mask will now run with a mask. And that is a successful tweet.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Did people really come after you? People who don't follow me me who obviously just came up you know and the egg people yeah and the algorithm their algorithm is like oh you don't have enough stuff to get agitated about so we'll just keep feeding you you know tweets from people you don't know um it's a beautiful system and it's a flawless system and we're grateful for the system that has been bestowed upon us. Thank you. Tech gods.
Starting point is 00:02:28 I've been having Jack, if you're listening. Yeah. Namaste. Namaste. Jack Dorsey. He, he went,
Starting point is 00:02:35 he not off the rails, but he's like, he, he did it right, man. He went, I'm going to make a billion dollars by creating an app. And then I am going to go a little crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Yeah. He's in the right. He's got a billion dollars. You're allowed to do that. But the flip side of that is that because he built an app that became really popular, he accidentally inherited a huge amount of responsibility that sort of like started showing up at the same time
Starting point is 00:03:07 he was like, okay, now for my crazy period. And so there's a bit of a balancing act there. Like how Picasso had his blue period, Jack Dorsey had his like billionaire period. Imagine if he lost it all though. All of his billions. That'd be amazing. The way he's been, you know what?
Starting point is 00:03:25 I don't like, did he do the Steve Jobs thing? I feel like he went just fruit, grew out his beard, dressed shabby. Oh, I think he maybe did that, what's it called?
Starting point is 00:03:37 That style of fasting, like a cyclical fasting thing. Well, the thing is, you don't need a billion. A lot of people are into fasting. You don't need a billion dollars. What do you make of fasting?
Starting point is 00:03:44 You don't need a billion dollars to fast. Jack Dorsey will be fine if he loses his money. I don't know, man. I honestly don't know enough about it to have an opinion. Different folks, different strokes. It's not for me. I run a system where I eat food when I'm hungry. Yeah, I hear you.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And it works. That works for me. I drink water. i go for runs i probably do yoga once every two weeks i'm not perfect but i feel pretty good what about you what do you think of fasting i think there might be something to it eh but i also don't know if i am a person who should engage in it. Because of your already lean frame. I'm a spindly boy. There's not a lot of room for error. Do you think that your arm, do you think that, say,
Starting point is 00:04:34 not only the strongest man in the world, do you think Dwayne the Rock Johnson could snap your arm like a twig? Do you think that Dwayne the Rock Johnson is the strongest man in the world? No, but I think he's top of mind, and I think he's possibly strong enough to snap either of our arms or any of our arms like a twig. Well, whereabouts? What bit?
Starting point is 00:04:52 Like at the elbow, like at the joint, or in the bone? In the bone, middle of the bone, forearm. No, no, no, no, no. Really? I reckon someone could. I don't think Dwayne The Rock Johnson could. That would require an incredible amount of force I think a guy
Starting point is 00:05:08 who was in did you watch Game of Thrones no okay well I didn't either but the guy who played the real strong guy his name might have been like oh I'm gonna fuck it up everyone's gonna have me Hoga or something and he just said his own name over and over again he just set a
Starting point is 00:05:24 world record for like um snapping the most arms yeah he snapped 600 arms in an afternoon wow do you know how he got there hard work fasting ah that is hard work in a way if you're hungry you're not eating you're doing work i just also want to say shout out to everyone who's watching the video on the Patreon. This is a beautiful mug. I'm having a cup of tea out of. My friend Joe made this. This is actually from the last lockdown in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:05:58 My friends Joe and Ken and I had a thread on WhatsApp. We'd have a coffee together every morning at 9 a.m. and we'd catch up. And it was called Don't Talk To Me, as in don't talk to me until I've had my morning bloody 9 a.m. And we'd catch up. And it was called Don't Talk to Me, as in don't talk to me until I've had my morning bloody java. And then he made three limited edition Don't Talk to Me mugs. Now we all have a mug. And technically what I'm doing is a bit naughty because I've put tea in the coffee mug.
Starting point is 00:06:18 But what are you going to do? And I gave a tea to my mum in this mug once, and she didn't like it because she said she doesn't like to drink brown drinks out of brown vessels. That's an interesting line in the sand for Charlotte, and I respect the heck out of it. I like when people bother to have an opinion about something like that. It would never occur to me.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Should we jump into our mail bag and have a look at what the fine folk of Worst Idea Enterprises have been sending through to us? First things first, I want to say, we don't have any Facebook messages. We've still got ample messages to get through, but please keep them coming in. Tim, I noticed that you did a Facebook status update, though, on idea of all time and it's a beautiful sentiment let me bring it up hold on i've got it right here oh okay cool what did you say how are you though and people responded in their droves and so i thought maybe to kick things off just a light conversational tone just a sort of a bit of fun between us we could check in with how some people are and i'll i'll um what do you reckon
Starting point is 00:07:30 first names or no names our first name's good first names okay so tim's asked how are you though monica the kids napping so pretty good nice to hear from you blokes. Lisa says, there's literally a hurricane coming, but pretty good. You got to love that optimism. Each says, I'm all right, but I lost my favorite ring and I feel gutted as fuck about it.
Starting point is 00:07:55 David says, good man. Jim says, private pile eats rifle gif. Haven't seen that gif. Amy says, I was reminiscing about the time I was sprawled out on the floor listening to the 5 hour
Starting point is 00:08:07 ep then I was just considered I couldn't remember if Sex and the City or Grown Ups 2 Scott says might have had a night out but Maccas isn't open I'm fucking seething it's all you know everyone seems
Starting point is 00:08:21 Sarah or Sarah there's no H at the end but I know that can be pronounced either way. Has said, not great, babe, not great. So I'm going to in real time reply. What should I write? Ask her if she's tried listening to her favorite song. Would recommend Listening To your
Starting point is 00:08:46 Oops This is riveting content Yeah Fave song Or Simply Remaining Sad
Starting point is 00:08:58 For a little bit Yeah And processing that Can be good to feel sad It's part of life actually You can Can be good to feel sad. It's part of life, actually. You can't feel good all the time. I've got a new favorite song at the moment, Tim.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I think I'll send it to you. It's called Pigs In There by Robert Wyatt. Should we just do another? Oh, no, they've started. I've been seeing whispers online that the internet, the podcast police started. They've started cracking into songs a bit more now, copyright, which sucks. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:09:35 We've always been pretty good after season one where we just used REO Speedwagon as our theme song. Legendary move. But please no one report us, because otherwise season one will have to go away. Oh, by the way on that okay sorry i i interrupt you a little bit because our internet's um not perfect but um what i will say is this i spent a little bit of time and i'll i'll continue doing this and hopefully get to the bottom of it uh putting the episodes in their actual order like tagging them season and episode number
Starting point is 00:10:07 which i've been meaning to do for ages it's taking a long time there's also some other errors that i've seen that i've been trying to correct as i go so it's taking a little bit but uh hopefully it means that you'll be able to navigate through all of the worst idea a lot easier especially on uh itunes and the apple podcast app that is sick it's crazy that you do something like that which is so committed and you know it creates such a better experience for the listener and for everyone joining us right now and yet i'm the best host that is crazy when you say it out loud like that isn't it Okay
Starting point is 00:10:51 Should we get into Some messages Do you want to open the correspondence Bruh I'd love to First one Tekla has sent us a message saying Hey fellas thought you'd enjoy how wild this article is. Keep up the good work.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And there's a link. Now, this was sent on March the 15th. I've been directed to an article in New Republic, the magazine. Ah, it's not paywalls. That's cool. The town that went feral when a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended, and then the bears moved in. Great work.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Great work from the editor on that headline. This from Patrick Blanchfield in October 2020. I'll just read the first two paragraphs, because that generally gives you an overview. In its public education campaigns, the US National Park Service stresses an important distinction if you find yourself being attacked by a brown or grizzly bear yes do play dead spread your arms and legs and cling to the ground with all your might facing downward after a few attempts to flip you over no one said this would be easy
Starting point is 00:12:00 the bear will most likely leave by contrast if you find yourself being attacked by a black bear no do not play dead you must either flee or if that is not an option fight it off curved claws and 700 psi jaws and all but don't worry it almost never comes to this as one park service psa noted this summer bears quote usually want to be left alone don't we all end quote in other words if you encounter a black bear try to look big back away slowly and trust in the creatures in a libertarian unless that is the bear in question hails from certain wilds of western new Hampshire because as Matthew Hongolt's Hetling's new book
Starting point is 00:12:47 suggests, that unfortunate animal may have been of a far more aggressive disposition and relate to libertarianism first and foremost as a flavour of human cuisine. I don't know what to do with that. It's really good.
Starting point is 00:13:04 There's actual data that listeners can take with them and apply in their life, or a limited number. Brown and grizzly, play dead, black bear, run for your life. Do not try to fight a black bear. We should think of a mnemonic for that because the words brown and black are very easy to rhyme. If the bear is brown, just lay rhyme. If the bear is brown, just lay down. If the bear is
Starting point is 00:13:27 black, fight back. Oh yeah. If the bear is grizzly, grizzly's a tough rhyme. If the bear is grizzly, just get... Start getting frisky. That's like, dukes up,
Starting point is 00:13:44 makes some moves. It's the third option that was not listed in that New Republic article. You could get Jobin to help fuck your way out of this. You've got to fuck your way out of that situation. I really like that. Thank you very much for that correspondence. I'm actually, Tim, you've given me the keys and I'm in the
Starting point is 00:14:00 Patreon. I'm digging around in the Patreon. I'm looking at previous messages. And this one is from April 20th and it says Oh bro excuse me did you say April 20th Yeah I did
Starting point is 00:14:16 Like the fourth month of the year Yeah the I guess yeah 420 Fuck I know Amazing it better be cool Yeah, I guess, yeah, 420. Fuck. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Amazing. It better be cool. It says this. Hey, so just wondering, but would Guy mind if his boil in the Netherlands story was posted to the horrifying but unable to look away corner of the internet I found myself in, that is Pimple Popper Reddit? By all means. I don't care. Maybe don't name me. You can say Guy. I'm not going to engage in this grisly business because I don't like this stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Do you know what story they're talking about? I imagine. Oh, yeah, I've got a vague recollection of you talking about this I think Well look the clue's in the subreddit Isn't it it's about you excreting Puss from your body Yeah basically
Starting point is 00:15:15 Get a big build up get it out of there Hey you go Your turn tag you're it Lizzie Says dear Tim and Guy Really enjoying your Emmanuel series Thank you Lizzie says, Dear Tim and Guy, really enjoying your Emmanuel series. Thank you, Lizzie, because I tell you what, not everyone is. Do you know who is?
Starting point is 00:15:32 Who? Tom Walker and Demi Lardner, who have been on it. That's cool. For reasons that I can't remember, Tom Walker is the guy, my backup email account. So if ever I'm having trouble getting into an account, the email goes to Tom Walker and I have to call up Tom Walker. And it's literally the only time you really talk.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And I sort of have to be like, I'm so sorry, man, but I need to log into Zoom. And Tom will say, is this really Guy? And I'll say, yep. And then he'll do some exhausting and infuriating bit. And then I get to go into Zoom. But him and Demi were both saying that they've been hugely enjoying their Manuel series
Starting point is 00:16:13 and they're never going to watch the pornos. It is so gratifying to hear. I know. That's what I said to him. I said that not everyone agrees. BigSoftTitty.png is a true work of art. If you're not subscribed to that already, you really should be. Leslie continues, however.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I'm writing to ask if you're familiar with the Carry On franchise. Oh, okay. We've had this before. Carry On Emmanuel, 1978. A movie so bad, it killed off the Carry On franchise. One critic described it as surely one of the most morally and aesthetically offensive pictures to emerge from a british studio shout out to british studios love and good vibes thanks
Starting point is 00:16:52 for your wonderful show you may say my name elizabeth we should watch that once all this is we're gonna have to watch that let me let me add that to the do you know what else we need to do? Play the video game? I forgot that existed That's true But this is actually back in the anals of our past We need to Do a director's commentary for Cats 2019 That is actually something that I would look forward to doing
Starting point is 00:17:23 Maybe that's a reunion project. That feels like a side saddle, thigh to thigh get some cats in the room, see how we feel kind of situation. Let's celebrate the situation getting better in Aotearoa by watching cats together again.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Nothing screams taking advantage of the perspective and the newfound freedoms like shutting yourself in a room and watching Cats for the eighth time so you can talk over it with your friend pretending to be Tom Hooper. The thing is about that, though, I'm likely going to have a newborn baby at that time. Oh, you are?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Are you going to be – is this too personal a question? Are you going to be a papa during the lockdown? Yeah, yeah. I would say almost definitely the way things are going. Are you guys feeling equipped for that? I think so. I've got a – my mum and dad have a present for you, by the way. That's very sweet.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I know. Mum's big – she's like – she loves you guys. She's pumped. We love her, we love Charlotte and we love Stephen Great session with Stephen Last time I was down Which was semi-recently Oh yeah, you were on the reds eh? Certainly were
Starting point is 00:18:37 Getting into it Yeah it was good That is a good time I got one here. It begins as such. To the frostiest of fellas. After looking forward to the Death Bite episodes for a few years, I finally started digging into your show last year.
Starting point is 00:18:56 My wife, Emi, and I had snuck in just under the wire with the trip to beautiful Aotearoa in February of 2020. After initially feeling lucky to have gotten home without delay, we realized it may have been better to get stuck in your neighborhood. Anyways, the months I spent listening to your sweet voices on those back episodes was a lovely way to feel we were still enjoying those breezy days of touring around NZ. Figured it was finally time to climb on that monthly commitment to keeping you two doing this thing I love.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Thanks for all your pain, suffering, and my laughter. Love, Andrew in Montana. Can I call you Andy? Permission granted. I speak for Andy. Cheers, Andy. I speak for Andy. Tim, what do you know about Montana? I know that it's geographically huge and population-wise very small, but they still get the same number of senators as everybody else,
Starting point is 00:19:49 which is two. That's the rule. Can you tell me what the capital of Montana is? Montana City, of course. Helena. Wouldn't have guessed that. Yeah. I don't know anything about this place
Starting point is 00:20:05 I think it's quite Like rural-ish It's sort of like It's in the Rockies I think Oh okay I want to know about The people The forest and animals and things I think
Starting point is 00:20:16 Oh it's right up there Bordering Canada Anyway Hope you're enjoying Montana Don't know what's going on there at the moment. Probably, you can probably go to the cinema. Jan says this.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Hello, 1984 and Antimil Farm. That was really good. What's not to love? Nothing refreshes like an ice cold glass of milk Nothing else to say Just thought Guy might appreciate that Cheers Jan They them
Starting point is 00:20:55 I don't know why Jan has come into the friend zone Telling me about milk That does not seem appropriate Or friendly necessarily No I think it's great And this actually feels like a bit of you You're a milk man about milk that does not seem appropriate or friendly necessarily. No, I think it's great. And this actually feels like a bit of you. You're a milk man.
Starting point is 00:21:10 You're a milk man. Yeah. I go door to door delivering milk like it's the 19 freaking 70s. Look, if you are going through puberty, fill your boots, fill your body, fill your cup with milk. I could care care less you've been running around outside getting hot and sweaty come inside pour a pint of ice cold milk drink it down probably tastes good you could probably have another and i'm not gonna stop here but if you're a grown-up and you're putting away milk by the pint, I don't want to fucking know about it.
Starting point is 00:21:50 What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business. But if you come into the friend zone and tell me about your milk drinking, what did I do to you? I try to help. Let me put this to you, Guy. Jan's sort of profile image that Gmail has distributed to me, the little thumbnail which represents Jan, is Brayden Higgins in his summertime outstretched floaty pose. Does that change anything?
Starting point is 00:22:17 Brayden Higgins is not holding while he relaxes in the summer heat. Gone. A glass of milk. I think Brayden Higgins would be a big milk guy actually i could definitely see him on a got milk campaign because he's you want to why he's big and strong yeah he's got powers yeah i'm more of a malk man myself i love my bones brittle well jan um fuck you for your correspondence now this one here. I'd like to congratulate Jan on their correspondence.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Okay. That's your prerogative. This is, oh, no. Oh, wow. This is a suggestion. I'll just read it to you. You guys should watch review a season of Dragon Ball Z. Just start with the Cell Saga.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Would be amazing. Now, look, that sounds like fun, and therefore we won't do it. I tried to get Tim into the idea of us doing something fun on the last podcast, and I thought, like, maybe it's just because I was feeling vulnerable. I thought maybe you were feeling vulnerable, and it would get over the line, but it was just shut down so efficiently, so swiftly and confidently. And why are you the one?
Starting point is 00:23:33 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I followed Freezer and I followed Cell. And then I kind of began with Boo, but fell off the wagon for some reason. You? Yeah, I saw all of those. Saw Majin Buu. Who else was there? Android, was it 23 or something?
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah, I remember the Androids. I remember Vegeta changing sides. I remember Goku hitting Super Saiyan for the first time. And then I remember Gohan when he went double Super Saiyan. And that was a very significant moment in TV. That was big. That was big around the playground. I don't think I ever got to the point where people were doing the fusions.
Starting point is 00:24:17 So you had like Go trunks and shit like that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think I fell off the wagon by then. It was good. Yeah. I think I fell off the wagon by then Go Jita One of the main things I remember and it was sort of I guess it was the style of show but you'd race home from school
Starting point is 00:24:36 to catch Dragon Ball Z and then just watch Goku and Freeza floating in the air shooting the shit for 30 minutes and it would be like, give you the teaser for the next episode and it would be all action. So the next day you'd race home and they'd just keep talking about milk or whatever and their opinions on milk for another half an hour. I don't know if that's what they were talking about.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Well, you get the idea. I get what you're saying. And you're, of course, correct. As always. Is it your turn? no I just gave you that Dragon Ball Z suggestion of course you did Juice says
Starting point is 00:25:14 hey Tim Cognito and Spy Montgomery first time emailer, long time listener since season 2 I believe oh since season 2 I believe. Oh, since season two, I believe. This is Juice from Memphis, and I just wanted to weigh in on a recent thing brought up by Tim. You said in the Treasure of the Four Kings episode
Starting point is 00:25:34 that you were wondering when Bond would be bi, and I'm here to say it's believed that Daniel Craig Bond is. At least it's heavily implied that he's fucked a man or two in the line of duty. It's not outright stated whether he took pleasure in this or not, but the point still stands. This comes from the hit movie Skyfall, when Javier Bardem
Starting point is 00:25:56 is giving his long villain monologue and starts to unbutton Bond's shirt and rub his legs and asks Bond what's your training for this? First time for everything? And Bond replies, what makes you think this is my first time?
Starting point is 00:26:09 Pretty interesting. You go, bye, Bond. Thanks again for doing what you do, Frosty Fellas, and say my motherfucking name with love, Juice, sent from my iPhone. Juice. Thanks, Juice. And good on you, James Bond.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I mean, it mostly sounds like James Bond is just doing a job, but, you know. Which actually makes him probably one of the most highly paid prostitutes around, if you think about it. Because I imagine he's on a pretty good wicket at MI6. I guess does that make him a sex worker it's it's more folded in paid by it's more folded secret service folded into broader responsibilities than like the reason he's going to the office in the morning. I mean, to be fair, I think countless people would go to the office if it meant that they had the chance
Starting point is 00:27:09 to have sex with Javier Bardem. I believe... Through that. That's what Penelope Cruz does. I believe they're a power couple. Couldn't tell you. I think that's right. Couldn't tell you because I know,
Starting point is 00:27:22 but I'd have to fucking kill you. Oh, wow. I think that's right. Couldn't tell you because I know, but I'd have to fucking kill you. Oh, wow. And then I would become by Bond. Did you watch the movie Vanilla Sky? No. Has it got Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz? Is that the Cruises one?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yeah, it's the Cruises. And Cameron Diaz? Okay. No, I haven't seen it. It was quite heady. I went to it at the cinema and I was too young to properly get my head around it or to invest or maybe it wasn't good. Give it another go. This is the beauty of the movie still being around to this day.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I know. It's crazy. One more each and then we've got to tuck into a bit of pornography ourselves. Yeah. I've got a hankering that only a hearty dose of pornography could satisfy. A lot of these Patreon messages are administrative. I'd better look into those. Johnny here says, nice work, boys.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Very funny. And that's a lot of fun. That's nice. And Cameron says, says oh Cameron's whoa whoa Cameron wrote a big one back in August
Starting point is 00:28:32 and has topped up the message since then so I think we haven't read any of this August isn't that long ago man I know greetings to only the frostiest
Starting point is 00:28:41 and handsomest wink of fellas found you boys via deathblow at almost exactly, Jürgen. I've since listened to the entire catalogue, some episodes multiple times. Had a few spare bucks, so I decided to send them your way
Starting point is 00:28:53 for the few hundred hours of entertainment and also to listen to you both be very kind to star Emperor Bezos and to recommend some real garbage for the Deciders Club. Read as Ready to Rumble starring David Arquette. The film partially responsible for fouling the second largest professional wrestling promotion in history because it was such an awful idea. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I was glad to hear on a friend's own a while back that you guys were open to pursuing more miniseries. I honestly think I prefer them to some full seasons as they're more condensed, thus letting you to be much more forward with your thoughts instead of having to save them to spread across the next 43 weeks. It also allows for other types of media than just film, which helps break up the monotony. The best part of Real Rob was YouTube progressively finding more and more issues every episode
Starting point is 00:29:35 and being baffled by how they and the show writ large happened. Overlook and Undercook was my third favorite thing you've ever done behind Death Blart in second and the arthouse masterpiece that has Sex and the city 2 and first on a different note i've been slowly working on my first comedy set various other comedic endeavors for years and u2's insanity has inspired a lot of great new material to the point where i'm finally more or less confident i could fill a stand-up performance though i do live in the u.s so uh yeah probably won't be doing anything in person for a minute regardless on a final note i thought tim might like to know that I named a raccoon after him,
Starting point is 00:30:08 and it had children. I fed a family of raccoons every night, and raccoon Tim is always a joy to work with on set, as it has yet unnamed children. Feel free to suggest some names. There are two that we know of. Signing off. Frederick.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And Jeremy. Tim, Frederick, and Jeremy. Feel free to use your names. Signing off, Cameron Swingle from Virginia. Forgot to mention, feel free to read on the friend zone and say my name. And then another message saying, just wanted to say, the episode Emmanuel E34 Banana is easily one of my favourite of the entire Worst Idea series. I have a vague recollection of that being one of the most disgusting things.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That got George Lazenby banned, I think. No, Boner Inspector banned. That got George Lazenby talking pretty nasty about bananas.
