The Worst Idea Of All Time - Friendzone 148

Episode Date: April 19, 2022

Tim's got roast chook in the oven, Guy is in Melbourne tucked up in bed while he waits for nightfall. Sharing what remains of the Patreon mailbag, the frosty fellaz catch up with friends around the world, including (as always) PhD students drawing flattering comparisons between their endeavours and the boiz'. More strolls down memory lane as people recount the plummeting lows Guy has been through, which listeners nearly always represent their high points for the pod. If you are in Melbourne, Guy is doing his show until April 24 as part of the comedy festival. If you are in Auckland, Tim is eating a slightly overcooked roast chicken right now.TWIOAT Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Website / SubstackGUY Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / WebsiteTIM Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Website Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the friendzone, in the friendzone, you're always home, in the friendzone, you're not alone, anytime, with Tim and Guy. Hi everybody and welcome to another exciting edition of the friendzone. Guy Montgomery is, he's blowing out, as we would say, in my friend circle. I'm having a real rough go of it, guys. I'm actually okay. But it is raining lots here in Melbourne. Like, if you leave the house, yeah, you're going to get wet. That's how we know he's not from there, folks, because he doesn't pronounce it M-E-L-b-i-n which every local does no melbourne

and also i don't dress for the weather i've left the house twice tim i'm on my third outfit i'm actually can i be honest with you this is probably too intimate i'm tucked up in bed i'm in bed i'm on my pants or no pants uh shorts shorts and a t-shirt It is quarter past 4pm where you are That's a crazy hour to be tucked up Oh mate My circadian rhythms have all gone They've all gone topsy-turvy I can't even talk mate

Are you doing a show tonight? I am, I'm doing a show tonight Fantastic I'm going to watch some shows beforehand too Something I love is comedy. But enough about me. Tim, I want to know about you and if you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to know about how the family is.

Family's great. Everyone's well. I have spent the day with the gorgeous Remy and some dogs. Dogs. Not just my dog, Rufus, but another dog also named Tui. Rufus and Tui, from memory. These two are thick as thieves. They get on.

This is my former housemate's dog. So Tui is the same breed as Rufus. And when Tui was brand new, she grew up with Rufus. They're like siblings. Can I pause? Yeah. Are we recording this? Oh, no, but we are off board.

But yeah, that's a good shout. I'll start doing that now. Good shout. If I left this in because I forgot to edit it out, entirely possible. So, so possible. I'm tempted to say i've done it guy now i've done our little backup record but we're talking on a thing that lets you record in the internet in the cloud and i forgot to hit the button which i have done before um so yeah a lot of dogs a lot of baby stuff today nothing frightfully

interesting guy a lot of a lot of chores a lot of house, a lot of baby stuff today. Nothing frightfully interesting, Guy. A lot of chores, a lot of housework. Managed to nip to the park before the weather packed in. That I considered a great win. Although I did go on a streaming show today, which was a lot of fun, with a legend called Clancy, who is in Portland, Oregon, who came on Happening when I was doing a streaming show for a while with, from memory, some really good ass Pokemon poems.

Mmm. Yeah. The internet's a hotbed of activity, isn't it? And it's all for the good. It's never for the bad. That's what I love about it. There's a lot of good happening out there, you know. There's a lot of people just fucking

messing about, having a good time, not hurting anybody, just having a hang, having a chill with their friends. Which we're doing now. Any belly laughs lately, Tim? Any sort of moments in time or in life that have really tickled you pink? I have, as of maybe 48 hours ago started watching the righteous gemstones what a treat what an absolute treat really hit the spot in terms of it i was like i need a tv show i don't watch a lot of tv but it's like i want to show at the moment i can like blast on

fold some washing do some dishes what have you and it is just such a good show really enjoying it friend of the podcast the great tim bolts tim bolts is on there positively a scene stealing presence on there is bj yeah it's a really really good show actually i only watched the first season i should it's fantastic i i'm so um i'm so stoked for tim that he's on there and uh he's brilliant in it he's very very funny They're all fun It's a really good show Super well written It really feels like Danny McBride

Fully stretching his legs Creatively with the writing and everything Yeah I enjoyed Eastbound and Down Which was his previous project But I think this is probably more tonally consistent or or strong uh i i after i finish this though i'm uh eager to embark on better call saul and i want to try and watch it really quickly so i can catch up before the show ends

so i can watch the finale in real time oh that's nice it might be it might be too soon have you done breaking bad i yeah i did but i only like finished it quite recently i've not seen a single episode people love it though yeah man best television show you've made some say people say that about every tv show no that one's legit though like some people say that for game of thrones but they don't mean it but people do say it for Breaking Bad and do mean it. And they frigging well mean it. So if you could sum up your Melbourne International Comedy Festival run in six, count them off guys, six words, what would you pick?

I'm having a lot like, oh, I've run out. You could have gone and had fun. Having a lot of fun. I know, I know. I was trying to do a gag, but my brain's still waking up. I'm having a lot of fun, Tim.

It's been a pretty crazy time, to be completely honest. Very fortunate, I feel, to have experienced and recovered from COVID-19 before coming over here. It is the unspoken guest of the comedy festival. Like people's runs have been, you know, they've had to pull a week of shows and stuff as people catch it throughout the.

Our friend Mal Bracewell got struck. Mal Bracewell got it. Yeah. So that has been our friend Tom Walker. I think. Strutting. Well, got it. Yeah.

So that has been our friend Tom Walker. So really fortunate in that respect. I'm enjoying doing this show. I've had some great fun seeing friends and having meals. And it's been, for me overall, the whole experience has been so positive, so life-affirming. Chelsea came and visited for five nights hell yeah brother our first holiday outside of the country since um the pandemic and like i booked us a hotel for a few nights had a really good time honestly um loving it having having a wonderful time one more week really looking forward to coming home as well and

sort of returning to some semblance of normalcy I'm just like always a bit tired because you just your body clock shifts and you're always slightly off balance with your rhythm you watch yourself out there mate well I'll tell you what relax into your bed, let me read you a little

bedtime story from our friend John I'm going to shut my eyes for this, I'm going to yawn too very cool so we're what we're doing folks is now a couple of people recently have joined uh the patreon and i appreciate it but i'll tell you what not the thing to do at the moment because we are on substack these days we've moved we've just moved house for our premium content the new house is number one substack avenue substack substack land yeah and the new house is number one, Substack Avenue, Substack, Substackland. Yeah, and the postcode is substack.com.

Mm-hmm. twiowat.substack.com. It'll take you there to the page. So John has written to us in August of 2020, so this is a time travel. Actually, this is quite weird that this one's unread. Maybe I've read it already because that's like that's it's like coming up two years old now i like that for the friend zone hello gentlest gentlest of gentlemen the gentle boys of the century quick question how do i convince my

fiancee to name our first child zebulon It's technically a family name from centuries past, but obviously it's a pretty wild mini. She is not big on it, but I think we can get her there. Love all your shit, John. Well, seeing as this is a two-year-old message, we ought to believe that the child is presumably born not coming from a place of hard information more just intuition and so really hard to know

zebulon whether or not there's another zebulon in the world or you or you went with something i feel like the compromises often will sign off on the first name with something slightly more traditional, and then you can pop Zebulon in the middle there for occasional use. So I don't know what to say there. Maybe the first one you hand it over and they're called Craig or something, and then that sets you up. The second one you can say, we'll build our confidence up. We've got a head full of steam.

Let's do something a bit silly. Let's have a bit of fun with it. Yeah, man. Love that. Zebulon. It's strong. It sounds like a Framulon, which is like an indent at the end of some production company,

ident or something at the end of a show. Shall I read this, Tim? Isn't that the little bridge of skin in your penis? that's your frenulum ah it's close yeah I know all about that the frenulum zone

that's right anyway Frostiest fellas Ty and Gim, long time listener recent Patreon subscriber I'm so deeply appreciative and sorry for your excruciating relentless headlong run down a blind hole your sharp wits and poor judgment have been a near constant companion and a real joy my journey with the

pod goes season two season one season four my week with cats do more killian air and then season three which i've just finished off by watching the film with the first Dercom. I want to pause this just to bookmark it, Tim. Bring up My Week with Cats or Andrew Lloyd Webber after we've gone through this message.

Okay. I want to deposit a little beat you might have missed with the fuck boys. What incredible timing, considering that we've just spent a bit more time with them again. It comes near the... It comes near the end of the flick when Zicoli starts working

in earnest on his utterly nothing track. There's a passing shot of Zephron at the beach, and there's a ship out on the water. I was immediately seized with the shocking truth that this ship is just one in a huge navy that has been waiting just offshore threatening to invade and bombard the valley and all sushi therein with this revelation the film takes on a new tack all of the incredible flailing and reaching for experience and meaning that would normally be called a bad story with

almost no plot is really just a handful of youths trying to squeeze any amount of joy or distraction from the impending invasion this would do very well to explain why approximately 2,500 throbbing youths would stand in a hot dirty parking lot with absolutely no music waiting for some schmuck to come plug in his collapsible sword as given by the sentimental james reed from the feelers to then be assaulted by said schmuck just yelling nonsense into a mic. They have very little time left to live and have already and en masse given up. For some reason, if you actually read this out loud to other people, say my name, you absolute monsters, Paddy from Nye,

which I believe represents New York. Yeah, I'd say so. We're treading back over to run that we've this is top of mind for us. The last thing we did together was a little bit of We Are Your Friends as friends. A lot of We Are Your Friends actually, which you'll only

know if you are supporting us on Substack because it's a premium episode. friends a lot of we are your friends actually uh which you'll only know if you are um supporting us on substack because it's a premium episode yeah and you premium dickheads gave us two screenings back to back to discuss and we did i might just put that one out though because like fuck man the people gotta know you know the people gotta know we watched it twice. Punishment was too painful to just... We've got a lot of premium content coming out soon. Maybe we share that one with the world. So what is the theory here that there is an enemy naval force?

I guess it's that all of the movie, everything that we see is not necessarily what we are supposed to pay attention to. It's all just backstory, grounding context for a more militaristic kind of naval film, I guess, and we're just watching people while away, the last of their freedom. Does that elevate the value of the film, Tim, do you think?

Yeah, it does. One way to look at it is the frivolity of youth when being met by the impending sort of unstoppable nature of death but the

other is a beautiful celebration of the human spirit in that when you are facing down the ultimate bummer which is a warship armada from an unfriendly nation there's only one thing to do round up 532 hotties bring them in the club for at least six dollars a head and make sure your friend gets the 11 p.m dj slot it is a side room but still gotta make sure it's at 11 yeah yeah it's gotta be 11 you gotta gotta get someone else to warm up that crowd then you gotta make sure that you've got some vine stars

in the club sell them some drugs do some drugs yourself give too many drugs to squirrel spoiler alert motherfucker took too many drugs to squirrel spoiler alert motherfucker took too many drugs he's dead now yeah but i'd sooner die at the hands of too many drugs amongst those i love the most than at the hands of a foreign armada trying to initiate some sort of hostile military takeoff of takeover of the valley uh i forgot what i was to say It was about cats and Andrew Lloyd Webber All that to say I am doing a radio Like I'm on some sort of breakfast radio show here In Melbourne the next morning

And I just got tagged in the promotional materials By the radio station And you will never guess Who one of the other morning guests On the breakfast radio show is. Who? A-L-W. It's not him though, is it?

Yeah. Why? Not in person. Why would he be on Australian breakfast radio? I suppose one of his musicals is probably being mounted in Melbourne or something. Are you serious? Deadly. Like we're in the same promotional materials.

You can look at it on my look at it on my Instagram right now you know what I can't believe it I am going to do that it's fucking crazy stuff Instagram

do you know the radio oh Instagram you said do you know what radio station it is I'll be just we're all about to find out if you just go to my story you'll see it

story can I do that on a computer oh yeah I can yeah just click on it yeah it is? Nova. If you just go to my story, you'll see it. Story? Can I do that on a computer? Yeah, just click on it. Not this thingy. Not this thingy. Not this thingy. Not this thingy. Is this it? Oh, it's on Nova.

Nova 100. I missed the first... I missed it, I blinked and I missed it That is unbelievable, you really did blink and miss it but he's in there, like I'm doing it with him so they contacted me they said have you got any talking points and I sort of sent through a pretty boring list of stuff and then I saw the materials

I saw Andrew Lloyd Webb was there and I messaged I said look, I don't know if you guys are comfortable asking me about this But I've spent quite a lot of time With some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's material recently Dude why the fuck is And first of all they haven't used As honorific because that guy got knighted Okay

Damn right he got knighted You need to respect that But they haven't put sir Do you respect knights? Not all. Not universally. What do you think about Knight John Key?

Take it off him. Where do you want to put it? Wherever. Put it in my arsehole, man. Our former Prime Minister. There's something pretty ludicrous about like um prime ministers getting them it feels very self-congratulatory yeah well like it's like we you know we know you did that job you're kind of you're down in history

as someone who volunteered to you can chill i i really can't think of any reason why he would deserve a knighthood myself, but that's just one man talking. And here's another man. Services to bloody ponytail pulling, am I right? Okay, so it's a satirical podcast just for that moment. We've got some very good, hot New Zealand political takes from 2016 to share with you all. But we're going to take a break from that to read this message from our friend.

Okay. This was on March 17. Okay. It's been a few months. I had, oh, okay. Let me read the last message. Oh, I really don't know if this one's been read, and it is girthy. Second of Jan.

Hope this is the right place to send messages apologies that it's a long one feel free to read my first name or call me whatever brackets he him and abridge this message however you like parentheses anything in parentheses is not necessary for friendzone at the reader's discretion as you can see everybody i am clearly sight reading this message which has come with instructions so here we go howdy do to the frostiest of fellas guybo and tim tim started yours podcast just a couple months ago a few months ago rather after the annual return of death blart helped pull me out of the dark hole america's covid situation has kicked me into

got a new job new lifestyle and your public descent into madness is now an integral part of it now so i decided to pony up and pay the boys with the sweat of my brow each month i work as an online shopper at a big chain store so my shift starts super early i'm fast walking for nearly all 8-9 hours and the holidays knock me the fuck out but thanks to the insane journeys and wonderful friendship

you two share with the world in one earbud, my shifts have been extremely bearable if not even a little fun Oh my goodness. I'm focusing on the Emmanuel season for now, and I cannot describe to you the mix of mania and fear that fills me whenever I hear a customer ask me a complex question in one ear

and the loud trumpeting cry of the boner inspector or the phlegmy grumbling of Mr. Lazenby's agonized erection in the other. Oh, can I just take a moment to commend the, just that little run of words in that sentence that was really satisfying was it phlegmy grumbling of mr lazenby's agonized erection is a very beautiful bit of writing isn't it yeah uh there's some parentheses here but i'm choosing to read them because i refuse to read ahead i am almost glad for the mask i must wear in those moments as it covers what must surely be

a wide stupid grin not at all an appropriate answer for when the customer asked me where the beans live where did the beans live so is this person is listening to the podcast while fielding questions simultaneously it's crazy it's pretty cool it feels like reading a book and listening to a podcast at the same time the shift i just finished was a doozy in more ways than one and the decision i regretted almost immediately i pulled an all-nighter straight through a new year's eve party into my shift this morning in preparation i deviated from emmanuel and went back to some of your dercoms from days of yore the batman and robin deciders club then season 4 episodes 23 uh 25 and 26

the shikshi shitter uno five hour insane-a-thon followed finally by a random ep from later that same season the extended play style ramblings guided me through the store and kept my eyes awake as i began to struggle with the effects of being awake for going on 36 hours oh my god four-ish hours of sleep spread around there somewhere stumbling through the empty aisles like a caesar romero zombie occasionally chuckling at a choice and goof and frosty goof when i had the five-hour durcom, though, stuff started getting weird. I had no prior knowledge of the movie's contents or story, so you guys discussing the idea of New Year's in depth took me aback, as I had just lived it.

When Rufus bit him, I dropped something on my foot and exclaimed at close to the same exact moment. When Guy began describing the mess in his former apartment from 10 years prior i was cleaning up a stinky mess myself and the name guy improvised in a moment of delirium was my first name weird wild stuff then as the shift came to a close i realized the random last step i had downloaded was 29 of season 4 entitled arise the frosty boys your exhausted energies completely matched my own especially with guy having woken up to watch shikshi shitty one around the same time of morning my shift had started so it felt like we were inhabiting the

same headspace and i really felt for you guys in a super serendipitous way that is the magic of this podcast for me boys you all have put yourselves out there so much and for so long and it makes the show itself inherently endearing as well as hilarious and then i began to compose this message to you in my head and i heard the origin of the frosty fellas and took it as a sign. That I must send it. As soon as I got home. And so now. Here I stand at my computer. Shout out to standing desks. In my underwear.

Ready to collapse into bed. Once I hit send. Just wanted to let you know. That really does money. I spend on something. That doesn't mean as much to me. As y'all's podcast does. It helped me through a rough patch.

And kept me going on. Happy Gregorian New Year to both of yous. Sloppy hugs and warm kisses, Andy. Bloody gorgeous, Andy. Thank you for that. And Tim, well read. Thank you. That's the first time we've come across that message, I'm confident.

Fantastic. You're going to take part too because that was from Jan the 2nd. Screaming at us that we've read it before, but I believe we haven't. And now I will take the postscript, which says, okay. Well, hold on. Give us the date, guy.

It's March 17. That represents March. You got it. For all the binguses out there. Okay, it's been a few months. I had a follow-up statement. Cooking, lying in, wait. Oh, I had a follow-up statement, cooking.

Lying in, wait for you all to read the first message. Then in the last friend zone, 145, you all literally spelled out and acronymized my God-given first name and said not to wait for further points questions, obviously a sign for me to ask away after listening to nearly all the rest of your content available still working at season three savoring it like a rare steak my favorite format thus far has been the my week with cats approach obviously it's not replicable back to back and movies with less stimulation than cats

might be nightmarish at that pace not to mention the economical impact My Week with Cats had due to paying for movie tickets every single time. That as well is not sustainable. But if you, the frosty fellas, are willing to clear your counters and go nuts like one week a month or one week every two months, that amount of content could sustain you through a long stretch of uploads and you'll seem to come out of the other end of My Week with Cats with a comprehensive understanding of the film without a totally nauseous reaction to it just one listener's thoughts also i know podcast in a tree was a hassle to produce but it stands as some of my

favorite podcasting i've heard watch to date it is my comfort food or listen platonic handshakes and longing stairs which i would argue is almost a downgrade from the sloppy hugs and wet kisses. You don't have to compare the two. Andy. I appreciate it, Andy. Very good on you, mate. Man, speaking of hard things to produce, Kelly and I, we'll see if the bloody juice

was worth the squeeze on that one. I suspect probably not. What a wait. Wow. That's an exciting prospect. I'm keen to do another podcast in a tree style thing when we get a little window to pull something funky off. I think we should too. Yeah.

It was good. It was good fun. It was fun. It was an enjoyable product. It was a relaxing It was good fun. It was fun. It was an enjoyable product. It was a relaxing thing to listen to. We would also earn the right to broadcast ourselves enjoying ourselves. Yeah. And it had video.

It had a video component. That's why it was so hard and took so long. Video, video. It's the whole point. You do these hard things so that you learn how to do them. And then the next time you do it, it's slightly less difficult. This is from Sam from the 19th of March via Patreon, which we're not on anymore.

Well, we're not. We are, but we're not. Don't go there. What we're doing is clearing out the mailbag. Yeah. We're going back to the old house to pick up the letters in the letterbox. We don't live there anymore. On March 11th, 2022, the same day that guy spent five hours watching Sex and the City 2,

I defended my PhD thesis. I've been listening since my first year of grad school, and through all the PhD students who have written in over the years, I've wondered if slash what i should write to you what when i finish this confluence of events was the final push for me to write in i am genuinely curious if phds are more likely to listen to your show or if it's mostly confirmation bias either way something about commitment to such a daunting long-term undertaking, risking your mental health with little financial compensation, definitely resonates with me.

I'm also choosing to stay in academia. Damia? Demia? It is academia, right? But I've heard academia, and it sounds funner. Both work. Like macadamia. Get rid of that.

Man, you can hear those dogs going nuts, eh? Macadamia kind of sounds like a Matt Damon-inspired nut. Macadamia. Mattademia. We're out of water, but we've only got one nut left. We must protect it. Which feels analogous to your brave continuation of the podcast long after your quote-unquote final season anyway i'm very grateful to both of you and your podcast and i hope guy

recovers quickly from the novel coronavirus say my new and improved name dr Dr. Kovaca. Kovaca. Dr. Kovaca. Kovaca. Kovaca. Doctor, we thank you. And I agree with the parallels you've drawn. I think we are more or less, while maybe not recognized by any formal educational institution, holders of PhDs as well.

Odds on us getting honorary doctorates guy i would have by an institution that is maybe maybe from happy madison down the line they can't issue phds can they they could like give us pgas we could be in the producers guild of america fuck that'd be so sick that'd be way better than a phd so sick. That'd be way better than a PhD. Hi boys. That's how I walk into

rooms now. It felt like a bit of Ave Maria. Ave Maria. Ave Maria. I just altered my subscription after some issues with my card renewal. And for whatever reason, I don't seem to automatically access the Discord

as I've been able to with other subscriptions. Is there a link I could use instead, perhaps? Twiowat doesn't appear in my Discord, both the app on my phone and desktop. It's all synced up, as I have access to some other Discords via Patreon. It didn't appear on my previous sub either, but thought it might have been more of a me issue, so felt I should now check. Sorry for the bother, Rory.

I will be fascinated to hear if this message is in the friend zone. Rocevo is the thing. I couldn't understand how to get the two things to talk to each other, and I keep going back for more, and other people have done it with no issue, but I just don't know Discord. I haven't really been a discord user i've gone back for bites of the apple on this didn't really work so the discord is is there i

don't know how active it is guy you go on there right you jump in i dip it i dip in and out yeah it's a pretty it's a good little community yeah people are beautiful little it's i feel like um uh you know we put some fungi on a petri dish and then fucking bailed on summer vacation and came back and this gorgeous microcosm of life has just yeah i'd like to i've been less active recently because i've been distracted with my own selfish life but um i like to pop in and everyone's really friendly and it's like a really positive and vibrant little community where if you want to sort of pour over whatever the you know horse shit we've

recently released is it's on the list folks to figure that little sitch out better I think would be a good thing guy for us to more regularly we should jump in there at a regular time and have a little party. Yeah, I mean, like, that's the thing.

If you're ever at a loose end, Tim, if you just stop by there and you say, what's up? I mean, obviously it's good to schedule one so that people know, but, like, there's always someone lurking around. It's like, it feels like the early days of the internet discord where it's like you're stopping by in a chat room and it's a group of like-minded a chat room and it's so true. It's a really positive experience.

Lads got a bit overexcited. Well, yeah. So I, what I need to figure out, I guess, is that I need to figure out how to like get the link to everybody. Cause there's the links expire or something. So I've got to make like a permanent link and then put that somewhere for everyone. Anyway, uh, look, this is another, uh,

message that's a bit technical in nature guy. So I'm not going to read it out. It's just someone who needs, um, some sorting out. So we don't need to put that on the friend zone. And then I think maybe we've got, it says we've got three messages,

but I can only see One left in the inbox Here All three from this person Two of them are Do you want to read this? Dear Tim and Guy I've been listening since the single digit Episodes of season one

It's been a wonderful journey and I've truly enjoyed Everything you've done Season one Was a wild ride We're not dead. Season one was a wild ride. Having heard nothing like it before, it was truly unique and hilarious. The Shining Light, the Mystery Tour, Patty Schwartz Party Time were all amazing bits. I love season two, doing another sequel, but it's super long. We heard you lose your minds over and over.

It got really dark and really weird, and I was here for all of it. Also, 5-Hour Energy is legitimately one of my favorite episodes. Was this the season where you both did American accents through an entire episode? Yes. That was another favorite. Southern. That's right. Season 3 was different.

A shorter non-sequel picked-up random movie. I think this season proved the format worked no matter what movie you chose. Zicoli, the MacBook Pro box, James Reid from The Feelers, etc. All good stuff. Tim, when you sprung the fourth consecutive watch on an unsuspecting guy, it was probably my favorite moment in your entire oeuvre of podcasting. Same. I think it's the funniest thing i've ever experienced

i'm there with you i'm there with you letter writer that was really good really good for me i was so happy when you returned with season four doing 52 watches of sex in the city the movie and half the time sounded crazy and it was but it gave gave me a lot of laughs. I've also enjoyed Season 5 and your other experiments, Podcasts in a Tree, Do Little, My Week with Cats, the emergency season. It's all been great. I love the Friendzone episodes because it's like we're just hanging out. I hope this

doesn't sound weird. If you're looking for ideas, and you probably aren't, I really feel like you fellas need to consume the original Sex and the City show. Maybe just review a season instead of an episode, and you could do it weekly. I think it'd be interesting for you to go back to the original source material after seeing

what it's become. Guy, did you ever do those two back-to-back watches of Sex and the City 2? If you haven't, I think if you did a solo director's commentary while doing it, it would be hilarious. Anyways, when I started listening, I was fresh out of college college working as a bouncer and hating it now i'm a special education teacher and loving it i've gone through shitty times getting my master's degree

marrying my wife and adopting two dogs and it feels like you boys have been there through all of it so thank you i appreciate it now if you don't mind please say my name like I'm late for dinner. Well, well, well. If Mr. Benjamin Mark Adams hasn't decided to join us, and what were you so busy doing that you couldn't be here 15 minutes ago? He was transitioning from being a bouncer to a special education teacher and adopting two dogs. That's a great reason to be a quarter of an hour late for dinner, man. Yeah, I hope you're happy because the potatoes are cold and Tim's already finished his dinner. That's a great reason to be a quarter of an hour late for dinner, man. I hope you're happy because the potatoes

are cold and Tim's already finished his dinner. You're going to be eating savoury while everyone else is on sweet. I was hungry, Benjamin. What is he going to do? I'm a hungry boy. There's more. Here you go. P.S. The highlights

of Guy watching Sex and City 2 twice is an amazing listen. Yeah, I was happy without that came out. That was funny, man. That was fucking funny watching you do that. Oh, fuck, man. You didn't love it. You came in with a lot of gusto.

This whole, like, Benjamin, I love your message, but this whole correspondence has been like a very painful rekindling of some of my lowest moments. That's true. That's true. Do you feel like I am genuinely bullying you on this thing? No more than I'm genuinely bullying you. Okay. Well, that is the balance of an unhealthy friendship.

Yeah. Tim? Yeah. What's going on in your world brother what can you tell the people about here's what's happening i have made an entire roast tonight and an apple crumble from scratch so i'm gonna go and eat that with your family i love that i'm so happy for you it's so wholesome god it's going to be such a positive experience i want to squeeze you i'm so excited yeah but send my love to zoe i miss you guys but the chicken man i don't know about the chicken because the i got i put it in the oven before you were talking chicken that's what i'm saying i don't fuck with chicken so i've attempted to cook the absolute bejesus out of the thing in the oven. It's probably going to be a little bit dry, but I have been basting it.

And I just pray to God that it's not, you know, uncooked in the middle. That's what we're about to find out, Guy. This is my life now, figuring out how cooked the chicken is. But when you come back, my life is going to return to normal. It'll be self-flagellation via cinema and uh a lot of hijinks i think that's right we got we're actually we we are this is probably off the mic this conversation but we're still programmed in for some hijinks this week you and i and a special guest oh hell yeah so just say it let's announce it it's called a tease yeah shrek the third we're doing it

we're analyzing it in the company of esteemed comedian streamer and all-around good guy tom walker podcaster too actually i am fucking excited about this i was messaging him today because he we were going to do it in person i was going to take him out for a meal before or afterwards and then he contracted the coronavirus and i sent him a very sheepish message today. I said, Tom, I hate to ask this of a man who's down, but do you have any interest in analysing Shrek the Third? And Tom said, dude, I'm looking for stuff to do. Oh, man.

Hey, am I right in saying that Tom just got nominated? You are wrong in saying that. Okay. I take it back then well he goddamn should have been i um i genuinely tom's one of my favorite comedians in the entire world he's he's putting on he's putting on his shows he had to cancel a week but his show javelin it clashes with mine but i've heard nothing but the most amazing things it's on at 9pm this weekend in Melbourne If you're listening to this In real time As are my shows

As you know, I've moved house recently, and we live so close together now, and yet I feel like we haven't really taken advantage of that fact yet. Not yet had the chance. We've established through, I think, only one trip.

You've probably got to go for like three in three weeks. But Tim and I are looking at sharing a local, somewhere where the lads can just head down on a on a on a cool evening and have a frosty cold one the frosty fellas talking about how it is and how it should be and then we toddle back home to our lives and we get nagged we get nagged they say oh where were you down at the pub and we say oh come on can't I just have a drink with my friend? And it all goes to seed from there. But there'll be a few times where it's a very exciting and lovely activity. Goodbye, everybody.

To all of our friends. I wish I hadn't ended the podcast on this ludicrous note. No, I wish everybody the best. I wish everybody who is being nagged out there the best and everybody who is doing the nagging even bester. Fare thee well and catch you very soon. One more.
