today you ready okay let's go the hunt for the wildest movie of the summer everybody ends here this is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately borderlands now playing welcome to the friend zone in the friend, we're always home In the friend zone, you're not alone Anytime, with Tim and Guy Hello and welcome to the friend zone. That's a fun way to start, right? I think so. I think that it's all about...

It's all about... Catching Guy. Well. I think that it's all about catching guy. Well, I hate to use the word organic, Tim. Catching guy out. But it's about organic interaction. Do you think the word organics had a good run or a bad run? I think it's had a good run because, you see, I think about words. They love it when they get said.

And so words like synergy and organic and authentic and true self, those are two words. They've had great runs the last four or five years. It's not really happening anymore, but there was a year recently where efficacy was top of the pops. Really? That's a hard one to say out loud. That was when the vaccines were being developed,

everyone kept saying that everyone was always talking about the efficacy. Like we all knew that word and had been using it previously. It's a fun one, isn't it? I really like the sense. Yeah. What does it look like to you? The word, the phonics of it. It looks like vowels and Fs mostly.

To me, it looks like a staircase, like you're falling downstairs. Efficacy. Oh, no. Fs to me are like fluffy and sort of pillowy and balloony. Like Fs are nice, soft. Like I would love to land on an F. Or a P. A P is a soft letter.

Yeah. Fall out of a... An H is a lovely soft letter too. From on high, just fall onto a... Oh, how weird is that? Because P and H equals F. Hey, I like that sentence you said. My theory, or might not have prefaced it with my theory,

but you think that words love to be said. Yeah, I do. I think you're right. Yeah. So I think to take the words on their own terms for them to have had a good run means a lot of people have said them recently but okay what do you what do you think about uh the word wellness has wellness had a good run lately yes as a word by that definition it has but the baggage that we bring to the word wellness such a funny one

isn't it? Because on the face of it, wellness is like, who wouldn't want to be well? Let's all talk about wellness all the time. Absolutely. But that's not actually what it means at the moment. No, no. It's got a whole lot of complicated baggage. Yeah.

Used to be so simple. How are you, Tim? I've just come to your house. Sweating my ass off, Guy Montgomery. Yeah. I have been walking around. I tried to get my booster today, but the place that I went to wouldn't accept walk-ins, so I've booked them for tomorrow. They're too popular, these boosters.

People love them. Taking the nation by storm. Booster. And it is, I would venture to say, north of 92% humidity and like 26 degrees out there. And I have just been walking around shop to shop in my neighborhood looking for a fan. And everyone is sold out of fans. I mean, you do not want to be fan shopping in New Zealand. You don't want to be shopping for your fans in February.

That's true. That's just embarrassing. It's ludicrous behavior. It is. It's psycho. It's ludicrous behaviour It is It's psycho But

I feel like it's because In previous flats Or share houses For our UK listeners That I've been Share houses This is the first one Where it's just been me and Zoe

There's always been like A million fans and heaters And you just kind of like Move them round Divvy them up Do a raffle Figure it out on the day Yeah

So you Do you feel like you're learning About yourself That you've never bought a fan? I'm not learning about myself. What I'm learning is I don't have fans as fucking humid as. It's muggy as. I'm learning about you.

I'm learning that we need to get you a fan to improve your mood. Zoe, she said, I love a challenge. I'm going to go find you a fan. Oh, that's sweet. That is why I married you. That specific reason. For a fan. that's sweet that is why i married you that that specific reason for a fan yeah well i'm good too thanks for asking that's so rude of me tell me tell me about your day guy what have you been doing today you said you had a good day i did have a good day

well what does that entail well i um i woke up at 6.30 and I stirred from a dream. And it was quite an unusual dream. An old friend from high school who I'm not really in touch with. The only way we're tangentially in touch is we play in the same fantasy football league. But I've not seen this person for a long time. Okay. And I dreamt I was visiting them and that their mother was keeping them captive in their house. And they were sort of trying to tell me that it's all good because they get to crack the window every now and then.

And I was saying, that's not all good, man. You need to be allowed to leave your house and do what you like. And we were in the middle of this conversation and and then I woke up, and I thought. Wonder what that's about. Wonder what that's about. Not a person I usually spend a lot of time thinking about. Yeah, but maybe the friend's just a vessel, you know? Yeah.

Maybe the specific friend isn't important. It's just they were a prop for your brain to figure some stuff out. We still don't know dreams, right? We still don't fully know what they're about not really no the best sort of i don't know the theory that i like the most that i've also probably heard the most is that it's the brain uh basically trying to make sense of all the stimulus it's got during during the day and got floating around in the head just trying to but this is what about those morning dreams though because surely you've processed all of yesterday and you know those no no you're thinking too linearly why would that be a given because dreams respect the calendar do

you know what i love um i think i was reading this in the context of native americans certain native american uh cultures but there was, I think it's also shared among some other like indigenous people around the world that dreams are considered locations. Like it's a place that you go to. Oh.

And they're treated really seriously. And like, why not? Because you spend a lot of time. It's like a 30-year time of sleep. A 30-year time of sleep. Might as well get a good mattress. But it's like, this friendzone is sponsored by Casper.

This is the most authentic six-minute ad for Casper mattresses. All scripted. I said organic at the start. That was a plant. You've been deceived. This is all a deep and hearty plug. It's Pee Wee's Playhouse, Word of the Day.

I do like to think of dreams as a location. I think that's quite a sweet idea. It's cool, eh? Yeah. And you've got to treat them seriously. But anyway, I woke from my dream, and I've been meditating for almost two weeks now. Non-stop.

Yeah, and I'm in a good place. So I get up early and I do that. And then I actually, of all things, I watered the garden, which was great fun, and I cooked Chelsea and I some breakfast. And then I went and played golf with our friend Paul Douglas. Sick. And that was amazing. How's he doing?

He's good. He's a good guy. Paul Douglas and Guy and I were on a comedy show together. That's right. Like four days ago. And everybody killed. It was a great show. There's a lack of stage time in New Zealand at the

moment. Of quality stage time, I would say. Yeah, it's on account of the virus have you guys heard about this virus it's been doing the rounds anyhow i'm good i'm now here with you and uh you know it's everything's going well man and i'd love to uh i'd love to dive in oh la la that's french for i agree French for the affirmative This is the sound it makes when Guy and I both Furiously search our phones to get to the friends

Here we go Damn it, that was a race and you have won Damn right Now Dear Frosty Nope, I've read that But i haven't read this hey fellas hello my media feeds i saw a lot of stories about the first episode of whatever it's called sex in the city revert just like snap and quickly diminishing returns on subsequent episodes vis-a-vis media coverage

which is fine because i don't care about it but also i kind of want to know what happens like a car crash full of people you were trying to crash who were trying to crash their cars together maybe you have become my primary source for this i ain't gonna watch it what am i a sadist so thank you for this season obviously thank you for all your seasons but this one feels somehow more something i like that it's shorter. I feel better about you suffering for our entertainment knowing that it won't last as long this season. You gave yourselves a weird job and we're weird for applauding it.

And that is from an author who has not written their name in the message so I won't say it but thank you very much, author. I would like to reply to this message at length. Okay. Firstly, thank you for getting in touch and for giving us that message because uh we just sort of i don't know 12 hours 24 hours ago recorded an episode our last episode of the season which will come out tomorrow of um

and just like that yeah we didn't really name our season anything, um, and just like that. We didn't really know my season or anything. It's just, and just like the worst idea doesn't just like that, but Lucas is on. Yeah, that's right. Well, I kept dragging guy Montgomery back to the,

to the plot. And then I wondered aloud halfway through the episode, is anyone listening to this? Who isn't watching? Cause we haven't given strong instructions like we have for the rest of them. I, I feel, I feel safe saying that that's an individual choice.

I don't have a strong policy or idea of whether or not others should watch it. If you're curious, it's not the worst time suck. And you could watch one and decide it is or isn't for you. And that's half an hour of your life, which is a small commitment. But it is also good that we're kind of Making some attempt To say what the plot is On the episode For those who don't want to join us Maybe not super ably

Every time But we are making some effort Yeah The other thing That I want to say About this message In response Is you were going to say something

Well I was just going to say We never named it But we Actually I feel like Becky accidentally called it And just like this In the episode And that would have been

A great name for the season. Spoiler alert. There's lots of laughs. In this, in this. Um, you know, I don't know.

I can't, I haven't really thought about how to like say this. So this will be a bad articulation of something I was thinking about this week. These are the, us doing the season of, and just like that, but the, Oh, I know what what it was it's because i was listening to that podcast i think i told you this i think it was you who i was talking to i'm listening to this podcast um called keep the dream

alive yeah uh about a studio in san francisco music recording studio and the guy one of the guys they're interviewing to tell the story of the studio he was like I don't really personally get on board with the whole thing of making fun of a band like having mean bands you know like making fun of Nickelback or something for being shit he's like as far as I'm concerned if you get up on stage and perform to any crowd you're a super human like right then and there like you're doing awesome so let's celebrate that and i was like damn dude true and then it brought me back to the origins of worst idea which was like partially and this was the same with the loo review which is how we met my there's a big part of me which has a massive amount of disdain for actual reviewers where i'm just like fuck you you didn't make anything you're just gonna sit there and critique

something that a bunch of people spend a long time on and that has always been my aversion to um doing things in the way that we've just done this season which has been fun but there's a bit of me that's very like self-loathing about it because it's some people getting a lot out of that series some people think it's awesome how are we to well ruin that i mean to to counter your internal argument i don't think we're reviewing it in traditional terms i hope not we're not arriving at it from the same entry point as virtually anyone else and also we don't really like what we choose to concentrate on although watching a season in the traditional sense

of just watching one episode at a time as it's released it lends itself more to your traditional reviewing i don't think what we're interested in is like discussing its merits for a neutral audience to watch which is traditional. People who have followed us this far are listening to it from an entirely different angle and perspective. From the perspective of following two men who have seen the movies 104 times. At least. Those two movies 104 plus times.

To get that off my chest. I would say that those 104 screenings would be, you know, we could describe them as a girthy prologue for And Just Like That. A girthy prologue. If we ever write a book about our adventures of podcasting, I want it to be titled A Girthy Prologue. If we did, that would just be, I think the whole book should just be a girthy prologue.

And then the main body's like one page. Yeah, that'd be cool. Kendra. Uh-oh. Do Kendra want my name? Want their name? I don't know. Here's the message.

I think there are certain things you read or watch or listen to and they define you when you are young. For me, that was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which completely defined my sense of humor. Specific language choices, a mix of low and high humor, and certain other elements make that book series the funniest thing I've ever read in my life, and I go back to it again and again. Several years ago, I realized one element that I find delightful every time is something called, quote, British man being inconvenienced. It's a major element of the Hitchhiker's Guide

and can be found other places too. Fawlty Towers has it. Lots of British comedy does. And when I found out the worst idea of all, when I first found the worst idea of all time, I realized that listening to two New Zealand men go slowly mad was definitely in that category. Over the course of the last couple of years,

I have listened to everything in the Twio at feed and it's been gold. But I realise I have found a new variation of quote British man being inconvenienced. Early on, I would always laugh when Tim complained about what a terrible time he was having. I'm sorry to laugh at your pain, but it was so funny to listen to you complain about having to watch Grown Ups 2 for the 17th time. But recently, Guy did something that made Tim angry or irritated, which is always more funny. Then, because he is Guy Montgomery, he doubled down and irritated Tim more. And the best part of all is Guy's laugh when he knows he has genuinely gotten Tim's goat. knows he has genuinely gotten Tim's goat.

Only true friends can enjoy one another's pain that much. And I must think of myself as your friend too, because I always laugh also. Thank you for all the laughs at your own expense, both of you. I know Paul F. Tompkins has repeatedly told you to stop doing this to yourselves, but I will listen as long as you are doing it. It will always bring me joy.

If you read this on the friend zone, you can feel free to say my name. Kendra Raymaman. I'm going to go with? I like it. Kendra, thank you. Yeah, Kendra, I particularly enjoyed that message. I don't know how Tim feels about the celebration of my antagonism.

I love it. Come on. I love it. Holistically, I love it. Yeah, yeah. From a meta point of view, I love it. In the moment, I hate it. When you exist outside of the moment, of course.

And, I mean, vice versa. Some of my most frustrated episodes have been when you wield the power of a guest against me, and I just can't say anything without being pilloried. But, you know, again, holistically, that's a really good time. That's good. It is good. We can enjoy. It is a representation of true friendship, as said by Kendra.

We can enjoy jabbing at each other, can't we? Because we are two British men being inconvenienced by ourselves. Dearest Timbly Wombat Wimbledon Webdings Webly Wimbly. That's a bit of fun. And Guy. I don't have much to say. Other than to express my most sincere thanks to the top tier laughs you've provided me and some other listeners.

Also, I'm led to believe there's a possibility that I'm not willing to discount that the so-called friends that write into the friend zone are in fact people that you two fabricate so as to appear that you have lots of listeners. I'm aware that this is unlikely is this how apostrophes work anyway best be off thanks for keeping me company on my bike rides around where in the world do you think tim south africa perth west australia pretty fucking close all the best say my name even if it isn, even though I'm almost positive it is.

God, there's a lot of different emphasis to put in with all these quotes. James Shepherd XX. And that's that. Thanks, James. I need to get my bike fixed. I was just thinking about, after James said that with his bike rides, how good it is to ride a bike. How sweet it is to ride my nice bike, nice bike. I made a playlist, Guy.

I needed the shelter. I found it. For Remy, and I tweeted it out. And I put that song that you put me on to, Isn't It Nice to be Stoned. Oh, Ted Lucas. Such a lovely gentle It's like a lullaby

It is for smoking pot For smoking weed It's a great album Is it? Oh that's good to know I've just been listening to that one song This is amongst the many things that I'm slowly ebbing away as I attempt to rebuild my life at the start of a year

One of them has been If I'm enjoying ebbing away as I attempt to rebuild my life at the start of a year. One of them has been, if I'm enjoying a song by an artist, why not try listening to the whole album around the song? Yeah. There's a pretty good chance that they did more than just one good thing. You guys might not realize this, but Guy's a dad now. He listens to albums. Whole albums in there entirely.

And you might genuinely not realize this unless we've discussed it, but Tim is getting really into dad comedy. Oh, just that one joke. Yeah, but I'm excited and proud to see your embrace of, because dad comedy is essentially bad comedy that is for you. Dad comedy, as far as I'm concerned, is one joke and one joke only. Hi, hungry, I'm dead. And I've been applying it incorrectly to everything Zoe has been saying

the last five months. And that is the hallmark of a strong relationship. Hi, we need to have a talk. I'm dead. Tim, I'm leaving you. Hi, I'm leaving you. Okay.

Are you sitting down? I am now. Is your hat on? Because it might be about to get blown off. I'm sitting down? I am now Is your hat on? Because it might be about to get blown off I'm sitting down, my hat's on Give us 100 US dollars as a donation Holy shit Yeah dude, serious coin

Hi fellas Oh crap Don't say his name Yeah yeah Hi fellas If you read this on Friendzone Don't say his name. Yeah, yeah. I'll, um... Hi, fellas. If you read this on FriendZone... Oh, anonymous, please, if you read this on FriendZone. Like, for so many people, the last 18 months have been awful.

With illness, the collapse of my marriage, and general malaise, you guys have kept me sane. Best regards, D in... Where do you think? D is Brooklyn No Portland Bro, Geneva

Damn Think bigger Yeah, I gotta be honest with you I went coast to coast in America then And I didn't even think of Europe I never think of Europe And I'm sorry to that anonymous author. And I'm glad that we could be of assistance.

I've just had a friend recently return from Geneva and we And boy are their conventions tight. I don't know but thank you. I dig it. Just got word today this afternoon that we're going tramping in June, in winter

You are? With this friend? Yeah dude, there's a whole bunch of us There's like six of us, high school mates Oh, you're gonna have fun It's gonna be awesome, just a quick one A little three day one, it's not a big walk Is it? The

Rimutakas You're gonna have such a good time I've got something for you Hit me Hi fellas You mentioned that in a recent episode of In Just Like That The TV show Friends was referenced Meaning it exists in the Sex and the City universe

Yes Well In season 10, episode 10 of Friends Rachel says What is wrong with raising a kid in the city? I'm doing it Ross is doing it Sarah Jessica Parker is doing it.

This means that Sarah Jessica Parker exists in the Friends universe, and therefore she also exists in the Sex and the City universe. Hopefully she'll make a cameo appearance in the future, much like that TV show with two Tim Allens. What? And then there's a screenshot of a TV show with two Tim Allens. Oh, that's very funny. Wait, what the shit is going on?

Because this is old Tim Allen. So he's in a... Binford was the, I think, invented hardware company on Tool Time, on Home Improvement, and he's wearing one of those shirts. And then he's like dad in a dad shirt. He's been in some sort of mainstream sitcom for a while now. Is this not Home Improvement? It looks like a Home Improvement reboot

because he's like in Home Improvement mode. Well, I think he's my guess, and God willing, this author will be able to correct us down the line when we get to it, but he's starring in the present day sitcom and then it had a cameo from Tim the Tall Man Taylor of the Home Improvement Universe. Seriously, that's what's happened?

That's my guess. Holy shit. So this is like the Julia Roberts thing in Ocean's... 12? Yeah. They broke movies. Yeah, I hated that. But it would be fun and sex in the city

because it's such an unambitious product from that point of view yeah and then there was a screenshot from underneath it i can't tell if they've i think they've written also you have fucked my algorithm and it's just a screenshot of what's on the algorithm and it says and just like that the real reason natasha was wearing flats so thank you and apologies i guess there was a screenshot not a link so we'll never know you've got to look out for your um natasha was the x of big and she was at the funeral right she was that one uh she got a lot of she's the funeral but she got a million dollars in the will yeah and and car Carrie had to chase her down and then started stalking her.

Yeah, and you know, when I was on the IMDP page, International Movie Datapist page, it was saying that the actor who played Natasha, the gap between her appearance on Sex and the City and then her appearance

on Just Like That represented either the longest or second longest gap between the same character appearing on a sitcom in the history of television. That's such a stupid stat. You're welcome. I love it. Like, okay.

I guess it's probably true. It's just a weird thing to keep track of. $10 was sent to us by someone who wrote the following message. Enjoy a bev on me, gents. The financial incentives are the way to go to get Mark Ben

Beninaro on the pod to discuss Emmanuel. Please let me know. Hmm. That's from Brett. I'm going to google that name Mark Banner It doesn't ring any bells for you guy

It sounds like The name of Mark from Auntie Donna Oh shit of course it is Lol It's Mark I don't ever connect him with his last name. Why would you?

It's just Mark. Yeah. Even that, to say it now, feels off balance to me. What? Mark? Yeah, I'm just imagining his face and I'm like, I don't know. Are you a Mark? Peter?

Definitely not. We love Mark. We do. And we've stopped talking about porn. Oh, yeah, we have, sadly. That's good, Tim. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's good we're not talking porn.

No, it really is. But it's just a shame because it sounds like that could have been an opportunity to get Mark on the pod. That's true. Hey, boys. I'm catching up on... Do you think Auntie Donna's going to get a second series? I hope so. I thought that they really hit it out of the park on season one.

Same. It's difficult though because I feel like Netflix doesn't necessarily reward creative integrity or endeavour. It's mostly probably a maths equation somewhere. It's deciding where to funnel their money. It feels like it did well for what it was, you know? I agree. It got acclaim universally from what i saw yeah it's so hard to do like absurdist comedy sketch they did like the hardest thing and they did it so well god they're good anyway

today you ready okay let's go the hunt for the wildest movie of the summer ends here this is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately borderlands now playing hey boys i'm catching up on back episodes i'm halfway through killing air just listen to you guys talk about Pitting Bezos against Putin And it reminded me I worked in the Amazon headquarters for five years Holy!

And they had TVs in the elevators That sometimes would show Russian style Bezos propaganda videos Sack Including one of him standing on top of a wind turbine In a tight white t-shirt With his hands on his hips like Superman The camera did a slow pull back from his face Until it revealed he was on top of the turbine It was the creepiest shit ever Oh, maybe it didn't say the last name. They wrote their full name.

They didn't say don't say it And also, it's a pen name Oh, it's a nom de plume? Yeah, it does not correspond to the name On the email Okay, that's really good to hear That's really good to hear No, you shake your head

This is Bezos we're talking about Jeffrey I can believe that I mean, and to be fair If I ran a multinational conglomerate that was trying to monopolize all of the industry in the country that i came from i'd probably put videos of myself on top of wind turbines and elevators as well look it's fine for us to have our little jokes you know on our little comedy podcast but that is the behavior of someone who's completely fucked in the head.

Don't put propaganda-style videos and imagery in your headquarters of the business that you started. That's psycho. Don't do that. Don't do that, please. This is why we hate you, Jeff. It's shit like that, man. Just be quiet simple fixes

make all the money in the world and then just it at a fucking minimum be quiet what do you think about the rock running for president tim he's gonna win we've been through this we've discussed this at length previously i know but i as it becomes more and more real well you know he's i think he's apologized three times in the last week for different stuff yeah he's not in a great spot right now but he's he's just beloved the only one i saw was he apologized for supporting a joe rogan post on instagram, there was some other stuff. I think he was, someone found a transphobic tweet from like 10 years ago

and someone else pulled up a clip of him being pretty racist in the WWE against Chinese people. So, you know, yeah, he'll still win. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, he's a big slab of granite. The internet does feel particularly exhausting at the moment.

I've really been reveling reading a book. Yeah, I've been listening. What book are you reading? I'm still reading that same one. It's me too. Slow reader. No, it's not. I think it's small.

I'm just very slow at reading. The Ministry for the Future. I love that. I've got to tell you. They haven't even started this back. Look at this fucking time. This is the one that's going to take me three years. The Dawn of Everything, A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengro.

I'm reading this book, Tim, right now, and it is so great. It's called 15 Dogs dogs it's a little 160 pager recipe book no it's about there's two gods hermes and apollo are just on the piss in a pub in toronto and they're talking about human intelligence and they're like a human's one of them's like a human's any better than any of the other animals and like well talking about human intelligence. And they're like, are humans any better than any of the other animals? And they're like, well, they've got human intelligence. That's got to come with something. And I was like, no, that's not worth shit.

And the guy was like, I reckon if we gave any other species human intelligence, it would improve their life. And the other guy was like, no, if you gave another species human intelligence, they would not be any happier for it. It would probably make them worse. Okay, a bet. We will imbue the next species we see with human intelligence and if any of them at the end of their life are happier for it,

I win the bet and I owe you one human year of servitude. And so they leave the pub and they go to this kennel or vet and they find 15 dogs and they're like, kennel or vet and they find 15 dogs. And they're like, bang, these dogs have now got human intelligence. And then the book leaves them alone. And now you're just with the dogs. And the dogs are just figuring out what it is to think and what they're up to. Cool.

Yeah. That sounds awesome. It's fantastic. What put you onto this book? How did you find out about it? My friend Joe told me about it. It's something, the style of book, it's something called an epilogue, which is a brief fable or allegorical story with pointed or exaggerated details, meant to serve as a pleasant vehicle for a moral doctrine.

Oh, that's nice. Or to convey a useful lesson. Oh. Anyway, that's what I'm doing. By someone called Andre Alexis. I'm going to read one more message. And then are you going to hang up the microphone forever? Forever.

Forever, ever. $25 has come in by someone, and there's no message attached, so I don't know whether to... I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place There $20 has come in From This is for Monty's show cancellation Fees there's some serious bullshit mate

Share with bat at your discretion I better give you some money That was from September the 2nd Was that around when you Had to check in your tour Yeah precisely Well people paid attention guy

Also Chris gave us money What is this one Hmm Interesting Alright I'm getting into things that aren't Very entertaining or Very easy to pass

Have you got a message you'd like to What does that mean to take us out Well I was actually just digging through Comments on our Facebook page Someone's written on the wall Of the worst idea of all time on Facebook Great I haven't seen one of these For a while

This was 16 weeks ago I don't even have a date. I've just got the idea of 16 weeks. It's four months. Now it's February. We're talking November? I suppose so. I'm really going to miss George Lazenby and the Boner Inspector at the end of the season. They've been a really great addition to the podcast and a clear indicator of whether it's been a good day or a bad day at the office based on how much oomph is put into the border inspector announcement and how long they're both allowed to stick around for it's the whole thing that's all

it says dipsticks dipsticks for mood of the boys really nice uh accurate too that is exactly what those those character tools are all right um what's going to happen now guy in our lives yeah in our life together uh yeah well today i'm gonna go home and i reckon you're going to hopefully find a fan?
