The Worst Idea Of All Time - Friendzone Eighty Eight

Episode Date: August 18, 2019

It's late at night (NZT) and Timbo's birthday; Where else WOULD he be but recording a Friendzone with Guyguy? The fellas are competing with dodgy internet, chewing over the beautiful peace in the skies, opening up some gorgeous donations and ripping the lid off what the upcoming London Live show will actually be: All four movies, back to back, watched before the live show. It's going to be something, so make sure you nab a ticket here. Full power to our sole, libertarian listener - as per usual. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well it's the friend zone, with Tim and Guy, come to the friend zone, and have a good time, yes it's the friend zone, with Tim and Guy, cause making friends is the best idea of all time. Hello, and welcome along to a very special friend zone, as we celebrate, I think not, we're celebrating A very important and auspicious day On planet Earth here It is August the 19th AKA The calendar birthday Of one Tim Batt Woo!

Happy birthday my friend Thank you Guy Can I ask you a question? Can you think of any better way To spend the waning hours of your birthday than catching up with me and anyone who so happens to be listening via Skype? There's literally nowhere I'd rather be. That is flattering. What did you do today?

Did you have a cake? No. Did you have some breakfast? No. Oh, no. Did you have a cake? No. Did you have some breakfast? No. Oh, no. Did you eat lunch? What did I eat? No.

I had noodles. What a nondescript time. Yeah, I had noodles at about three. Well, I had a shake. I had a smoothie. Yeah, I had noodles at about three. Well, I had a shake. I had a smoothie. Ah, that's right. You're a big liquid food guy now, eh? Yeah, I'm all about it.

How are you looking? Almost exclusively. I've turned into a liquid guy. It's terrifying. Yeah. It's very scary stuff. Do you feel like you're in physically good nick because of this dietary change? Do you feel like you're in physically good nick because of this dietary change?

The liquidity has allowed me to get into places that I couldn't before. Not places like a nightclub or anything like that. Cranies and nooks. Yeah, yeah, like a rat. Yeah, but even more small and difficult places. You know a rat can fit into a hole the size of its nose? Really? Yeah, yeah.

Because they can elongate their spines. That's why they come out of seemingly nowhere. It's amazing. Because their body just shrinks through the hole until they get through it, and then it becomes regular size again.'re like the squids of new york squids of new york is a great name for a movie um hey i miss you tim it's so nice to be talking with you it's great to talk to you too i am in edinburgh yeah as well you might know uh i've been having a good time representing the the almighty boys here on the streets of scotland i've been doing my show every night

and uh you know every night without fails i'm gonna say you're a real piece of shit go montgomery and it makes my heart sing what a legacy i've left in your career if nothing else and truly i mean it won't just be me holding down the the cold hard streets of the united kingdom shortly tim willett you'll be with me indeed brothers in arms in fact this might be the moment when we reveal to the world our intentions to be wed to four films in one day that's right we were slightly apprehensive to whip the scab off a new season and understandably so so what have we done we have built ourselves an absolute shitter of a day essentially it's a real task so well just to zoom out for one second, we're coming to London if you haven't heard the news, we're

coming to London and you simply must join us. We're going to be playing at King's Place The King's Hall in King's Cross I think it's called King's Place isn't it? You might be right.

It's for the London Podcast Festival, and our specific show is taking place on the 6th of September. And as a special event, as Tim has said, instead of watching one movie for the 52nd time or anything like that, we're going to watch, well, actually, we're going to be watching four movies, in essence, for the 52nd time, aren't we yes we wanted to do something special for our first ever european live show uh i've never set foot on the continent before i've never been to my ancestral home so

we wanted to do something big and we decided that big thing will be guy montgomery and tim batlocking themselves inside a hotel room and watching in succession each of the movies again, starting off with Grown Ups 2, heading into a tasty little bit of Sex and the City 2. Maybe we'll take a coffee break at that point because that feels like that's about four hours right there, staring at some content we don't particularly enjoy. And then back into it for round two. We Are Your Friends will be paying our respects

to Squirrel once again and offering a Kleenex to the crying DJ in the sky. My personal friend of the podcast, Squirrel. Yes. And then after that, we'll be watching Sex and the City, the first film once more truly out loud i feel the weight of our decision and i'm loaded with regret however very excited for a genuine intertextual assessment of these four films and uh somewhat curious to see how they

line up next to one another yeah this is territory. And much like the rat that is trying to burrow inside a hole you would think is too small for it, but actually is just the kind of spine-elongating task that a rat craves so much for they love a challenge. Guy has tried to worm his way out of doing this on the same day as the live show, and I have gently tried to nudge us into the direction of doing it on the day of the live show and uh i have gently tried to nudge us into the direction of doing it

on the day of the live show because it feels more well a more in keeping with the show and b like i might have slightly more time to do fun things in london if we can whack it all out inside a one day container that's what i'm looking for there's your sinister ulterior motive i was worried i was trying to quality control the show but truth be told I think you're right. I think it is in keeping with the spirit of the project that we should do

these four things and then immediately roll onto the stage and just play an hour and a half episode of oral shit in front of any Londoners

United Kingdom podcasts you know adjacent fans. So that is for everyone once more at the King's Hall

in King's Cross in London on Friday the 6th of September at 9.30pm please do join us as part of the London Podcast Festival

we are so excited to be going to England there's a link to all the tickets and stuff in the description of this

here episode. We're very excited. I'm excited to be in London for entirely too small an amount of time to, you know, ordinarily justify such a huge flight. It's going to be great. It's going to be a lot of fun. People have been very incredulous when I give them the timings. I said, how long are you in London for, Tim? And I said, six days.

And they said, you know, it takes sort of 18 hours to get to London from New Zealand. And I said, yes, for I have booked my tickets. And they said, all right. The thing with some people, Tim, is they just aren't as good as others. And these people. They don't get it. They simply don't get it they they simply don't get it everyone looks at those 18 hours of travel as as lost time or wasted time I genuinely am

never really more at peace than I am in the skies yeah final rest uh resting place isn't it absolutely and a great a great place to watch watch films of your own choosing. Maybe for the first time, maybe for the second. I've got to read a book. Oh, nice. I actually bought, this is perfect, because the first message I have is from a writer named Matt. And they've opened by saying, Boys, I heard Tim is reading How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan.

And as a quick aside, I actually bought that book on my Kindle last night. I'm going to catch up with you, Tim. I'm going to read it too. I heard Tim is reading How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. Trippy stuff. You've both been talking about how the series of The Worst Idea of All Time brings about meditative states, and it's got me wondering, should you watch a Trippier movie? If you watched Waking Life or Enter the Void 52 times, would you just straight up transcend? What would happen?

And then, which of these would you watch 52 times? And a link to the IMDb page for top 150 Trippie psychedelic movies. That's an interesting theory. I mean, I haven't really watched a lot of... Probably The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is like one of the most trippy movies I remember watching. What about you, Tim? Guy, I'll be honest with you. Everything you said then I didn't hear.

The internet faded. I was getting a disturbed robotic series of noises so i'm going to let you feel both the q and the a attached to that i realized they i got enough information to hear that they were talking about the book i was reading but i'm going to need to let you answer this one well i think i have in essence it's just the suggestion that instead of smashing our head into a bad movie, a bad sort of blockbuster 52 times, what would be to happen if we watched a trivial psychedelic movie 52 times? I see. A movie that around every corner we could find a new treat instead of literally scouring the same corners for the same old shit and deciding whether or not it has a different value to us

so while we won't be pursuing that as a season of the podcast it's certainly a useful link to have on hand the IMDb top 150 trippy psychedelic movies of all time for those of you who are curious the top 100, the top movie is called Fantastic Planet.

Released in 1973 on a faraway planet where blue giants rule, oppressed humanoids rebel against their machine-like leaders. That sounds awesome. I want to watch that. Maybe I'll watch that on the plane. It's in French. Even better. Guy, I'd like to throw a message at you wish you would it's got a subject line which reads as follows an egregious omission and he writes my dear frosty

fellows i'm currently listening to episode 31 while boxing up my life to move house and I simply had to put a pause to both activities to write an email. Your esteemed guest, PJ Harding, pointed out something that you both picked up on momentarily, spun around and then placed back on the table of offerings without a second thought. And you were wrong. She mentioned in talking about her love of Steve that he resembled Stuart Little.

Stuart Little, but ripped. Who, pray pray tell is stewart little a mouse who are the close cousins of mice the rats my good boys the rats the rats is brady part human part rodent does this explain his affinity with the sewers and world domination i'm shocked that you could let these questions go unanswered. My best wishes in the trenches. We're all egging you on from the outside world. Say my name like you goddamn mean it. Your frosty friend, Annie Waters. Wow.

Good email. Yeah. Not afraid to say that, you know whether or not steve is part mouse that you know i guess it feels like the sort of house where they wouldn't be afraid you know you got magda in the mix to to muck around with dna with genetics to what is that what does magda got to do with that she's got sinister she's got her own ulterior... Everyone's in it for a reason, Tim. What do you think is happening with Magda? We know that Magda's in cahoots with Brady.

We do not know exactly what this is born of or why, beyond just the sheer amount of time they wind up spending with each other. I think Magda... I don't know how, but what I'm talking about is I'm talking about Magda finding a way to splice in embryo Brady's genes with those of rats and mice. And then whenever she takes him to the bathroom to help him do his business or whatever, that's when she sort of seeds a lot of her propaganda for having to overthrow the human empire.

She's writing her zine of mice and men. That's right. A literary reference. Is that Steinbeck or Updike? Steinbeck, I think. I think I read that book. It was fine. It's very short.

You can knock it out on an 18-hour flight. Better than anything I've written. Kia ora, my fine boys. I'd just like to send a quick message to say how much I appreciate the shout-outs to your one libertarian listener this season. I'm not a libertarian. I work for a libertarian organization. Oh, no.

I was at a libertarian conference just last month listening to you acknowledge that listener. Please don't stop the shout-outs. Please don't say my name if you haven't a regular friend. Working for Libertarians isn't a great way to keep friends as a lefty. Lol. From your one Libertarian Associated Listener.

XO. XO. Well, in all my days... Well, David, it's great to hear from you. in all my days... Well, David, it's great to hear from you. In all my days and years of harping on about our one libertarian listener, never did I think a genuine libertarian adjacent listener would come across our tracks. Can you call someone a libertarian if they're working for the cause?

Even if they may not agree with all the ideology themselves, I think they still count if they're furthering it i guess so i mean you know every this is not quite the same thing but every dollar you spend is a dollar invested into the sort of world you want to live in and i guess every dollar you earn people just got to get their get that paper though't they? I don't know. I think that's overly simplistic, that view. Yeah, it's a tricky one. But we appreciate your correspondence, Michael. And, you know, don't be afraid to try and take that place from the inside out.

We, of course, wish ACT nothing but the best in the forthcoming election the north school of all time oh i like that and time is spelt like the herb um lucas writes to the boys timp and gua dear boys i went to a teeny tiny liberal arts school in a teeny tiny town called Marlborough, Vermont. The school was called Marlborough College. It was founded by Robert Frost and some of his friends, probably as a tax dodge. It remains pretty dodgy in a lot of ways. I just want to say, this is the email, not what we're saying. Don't sue us.

When I went there there were about 150 students so uh it's very small i recently heard about some of our notable alumni which include one ted levine the guy in silence of the lambs who says was she a great big fat person and this is the part you'll be interested in one pastor chris noth while he was there he built a cabin in the woods with his own two manly arms i've been inside it too but i had no idea it was built by mr big himself you know i've been thinking it's funny that such a small school had a student who was so, um, big. Ha! Get it?

I mean, after all, he was the big guy in the sex movie, right? Best, Lucas. Lucas has provided they-them pronouns. Thank you for that as we answer this. What an interesting fact about our beloved Pastor Noth. Yeah, I really, really uh i love that i fucking love that he built something with his bare hands you know that is outside of my competence or ability but i love knowing that there are you know there are people who who can do that stuff people who would survive in an apocalypse it makes a bit of sense

because it's that kind of can-do attitude which will either get a cabin built single-handedly or start a congregation, or both if you wait long enough. Yeah, if you build it, they will come. Hey, Tim, which of us do you think would survive for longer in an apocalypse? A nondescript apocalypse?

We're not allowed to work together. We have to work independently. So we're both alive, but it's every man for themselves. Yeah. You've stumped me with that one, Monty. I am going to edge towards you, not by heaps, but I think you've got a little bit more Perhaps physical prowess

Curious Which I think would come into play a lot more In an apocalyptic situation People like to pretend it's all plans And bloody What are they called? Go bags or whatever It's all survival shit The truth is it's fucking it's all you know all

bets are off tim knows tim knows the stuff you guys so don't think you're gonna catch him out in an apocalypse because he's he's ready what do you think well i thought you but then in hearing you say me I thought yeah he's right it's me Timber and Flash Freeze my frosty friends I realise this message will likely get buried in the sands of time and not be super relevant when you read it I love that but I just listened to Friends on

Ep 84 where you talk about Grown Ups 4 happening before Grown Ups 3 and how movies have never done that well you're right it doesn't typically happen it has been done by the franchise thanks killing thanks killing is a

B grade horror movie about a witty pun filled turkey who kills university kids on their way home from school for thanksgiving break the next movie to be released was thanks killing 3 in which our favourite killer turkey on their way home from school for Thanksgiving break. The next movie to be released was Thanksgiving 3, in which our favourite killer turkey, Turkey, has to find the last remaining copy of Thanksgiving 2, which had been destroyed for being too terrible of a film.

Not sure if you chilly chums are into B-grade horror, but the first one is definitely worth a watch. The third, not so much. Anywho, not sure why I thought there was information you should have, but I did, and now you have it. I'm saddened I couldn't get out to a live show, but I can't wait to listen to them

when they come out. Have a safe trip across America. Much love, Jake. That does sound like a suitably lousy premise for a film.

And I do love that idea of non-sequential sequels. Yeah. It's playing with the form, isn't it? Which I always enjoy. I have, you've probably picked up me tapping on my keyboard. I'm on the Wikipedia page for Thanksgiving. Hell of a poster.

Really harkens back to those 80s horror films. And it says up the top, just above the film's title, warning, boobs in the first second. And then it says up the top just above the film's title warning boobs in the first second and then it says starring turkey and it's got a terrifying profile shot of this hideous fucking burg and it says gobble gobble motherfucker i like that keep things simple i like that too yeah gobble gobble motherfucker is beyond thanks killing a pretty pretty handy line

to have up your sleeve it seems overly sexual actually this I would say this is the first line of the plot synopsis at the first Thanksgiving

in 1621 a topless pilgrim is slain with a tomahawk wielded by an evil demonic turkey

which quips nice tits bitch I don't know. I was on board and now suddenly I'm off board. Well, yeah. These B-grade films, they run hot and cold. Yeah. You got anything over there, my friend? My esteemed associate? My colleague?

My love? We've got a communique from a friend. Wait. Unless it's just... Oh just oh no it's a crazy coincidence oh no i've read their name wrong this is a message that has accompanied a beautiful donation uh to the the troop fund 25 us dollars guy fucking healthy thank you very much Richie It's been way too long since I supported the troops Apologize Apologize No Apologies

You good kind silly silly boys I especially feel guilty Go back to demanding us to apologize Apologize You good kind silly silly boys I especially feel guilty As I was asked last week How those guys make money

And I said they get by they aren't losing money or anything then tim released the truth at episode 39 and boy did i feel guilty the same person who asked you about making money asked about any other podcast you did and i told them about till death do us part and she proceeded to tell me after a fit of laughter that she ran the premiere for that abomination oh of the movie it must be wow she she said it was the strangest event she ever worked at paul blart arrived with an army of mall cops on segways to the movie theater a truly mental spectacle her final comment was he is an unfunny odd man. Thanks, boys. May the latest round of self-harm end soon for your mental health. If you were actually making money, I'd suggest everyone listening donate to their chosen mental health charity. But it sounds like this should be the boys directly.

And then there's a word which I'm going to claim as Gaelic because I don't recognize it. which I'm going to claim is Gaelic because I don't recognize it. It's S-L-A-N, but the A has kind of a macaron-y thing on top of it. It's like slan. Richie in Ireland. Yeah, I'd say I reckon Gaelic is a really good guess there given the surrounding information, and I think you did a good job of reading it. Thank you.

Thanks, Richie, for the contribution. That's very kind. No one need feel guilty about giving or not giving us money. Just listen to your heart. When he's calling for you. Now, this correspondence, initially it begins uh the writer telling us that they're going to see us in portland uh and it's very celebratory and jocular tone suggesting we meet for a drink which i hope we did um and then in the there's sort of a second half of which says also as a

note about the most recent ep at the time 49 you ask Guy what it is he thinks you two are training for when watching a movie so many times over. And it called to mind a book where your training would come very much into play. You'd found yourself in the same unfortunate scenario as the book's characters. The book is called The Drive-In by Joe R. Lansdale. In short, victims of this drive-in

are all trapped for what appears to be eternity, being subjected to the same Friday night movie marathon endlessly. Chaos ensues. I feel you boys might get some enjoyment out of the book. Thank you, Ethan. I will say this. I mean, if ever there was a Target demo for a book with such a specific premise, we exist squarely inside of that.

It sounds like a cool plot. I like the idea of limbo being a drive-in cinema situation. I always feel like we should have been asked as researchers to assist with the writing of the book or just to know in truth what might happen to people in this circumstance i mean we are the preeminent experts in the world about this yeah i mean drive-ins are pretty old so the book might be going back a ways hard to say historians debate to this day what came first worst idea or at the drive-in?

Wait, what was it called? That's the band. Tell me a joke. Why don't polar bears get married? They all have cold feet. Timing's not great though because you've got to wait a beat at least. You know? Comedy is timing.

Yeah, there's no give and and take you don't get to ask or answer the question back she just rolls straight through still though not bad gear well i've been yeah i've been opening all of my i've been opening all of my shows with jokes told to me by google oh really do they change Or is it all the same one? No, they change. She's full of jokes, mate. She's got literally the entirety of the internet to support her. Has it ever seen her go wrong?

Has she bombed? Never to me. To other people in the house, they don't think she's as funny, but I guess they just don't know her like I do. I'm worried about you out there, bud. Marie writes, hey. I'm going great.

I just wanted to let you guys know that in an effort to support you, my partner and I sat and watched Sex and the City, the movie. I know. Don't know what we were thinking. It was beyond the worst thank you for all you do that's from marie oh um did you did you feel it do you feel support coming from people if they just watch the films yeah well yeah alice is i'm living with alice neddon here of bonus of the heart fame and she

watched and this is since i didn't feel supported she watched sex in the city two in the lounge and although it was not it was impossible for it not to feel like a personal attack and when you started doing it i said alice don't do this yeah and she did it anyway and ignored me and then like she watched it she watched it over multiple nights in sort of 10-15 minute increments because that's all she could handle that's very funny had the nerve to message me being like hey guy this movie it's bad who does she think she is yeah i told you um we tried to warn everyone this is a very very exciting piece of our correspondence tim was that hold on wasn't even alice was on that season yeah she's seen it with us yeah you know i digress it's actually a very good gag at your expense, and I am very pro it.

So a guy called Dave has written, saying, Fellas, fellas, glad to know you're interested in my exciting business opportunity and understand the lack of need for conventional film structure in the GU4CU, Grown Ups 4 cinematic universe. I've been spitballing some ideas and working hard on the script, getting into the characters and doing some deep dives into their lives really feeling this one out anyway i reckon i've nailed it here is the first draft why do i get the feeling that dave is a guy

who does a lot of stretches that like project his balls into a crowd you know really like thrusts his hips forward that's that's the kind of vibe I'm getting from this dude. All the short shorts. He said, here's the first draft. I'll accept criticisms, but not edits. Very confident, and the file title is Very Confidential Grown Ups 4 Script for Making the Movie Grown Ups 4.

Let me know when you want to start filming. So I'm going to click on the hyperlink here. And the front page says, Grown Ups 4 by, say my name, Dave McCarthy. Executive Producers, Timbo, Monty, The Knife, maybe Sando if he's keen. I like this. Page one.

Fade in. Fade out. Page two. Wait, what? How is that a page? fade out. Page two. The end. Wait, what? How is that a page? They've literally formatted it. So there's the title page,

then it says the top left corner fade in, the bottom right hand corner fade out, and then a fresh page to say the end. Oh, Dave, you've done it again. You've done it again. You've done it again. What a legend. That's very good. Timothy writes to us, and he says, and he actually contributed.

Guy, are you listening? Yeah, I'm fucking listening. Are you sitting down? I'm sitting down. 30 US dollars, my dude. He's putting the fund. Timothy writes, found a continuity error for Sex and the City. Sent you a message on Facebook with the scoop.

That was in May, so I reckon we've probably covered it. Absolutely. His name's Tim Chapman. Tim, thank you for your steely eye and generous wallet. Yeah. Oh, what's going on here? I've got a few emails in a row from this person. What's happening?

The latest communique is simply a screenshot of a headline from the New York Times with a big red ring around it that's been added saying rats are taking over New York City. Very scary stuff. Thank you, Jack. New York is constantly on the precipice of being under the rule of rats.

And I, for one, love it. Hiya, Timbo and Gogo. It was lovely meeting you both at the LA Live show and discussing potential conspiracies with Tim Rhee, the closure of the Sewers Museum in Paris. Brady's new European headquarters

or perhaps YouTube Red's secret studio for filming its stolen series on method film reviewing anyways I meant to tell Tim about a kindred spirit of his but it must have slipped my mind due to my being so starstruck and all so I thought I'd tweet it to you but then I remembered

my Twitter's been suspended for quite a while the best people due to a Mbim Bam tweet gone wrong apparently mentioning certain has been suspended for quite a while. The best people. Due to a Mbim Bam tweet gone wrong. Apparently mentioning certain Apple executives' proclivity to beating up iPhones. Yes, that's right. Beating up inanimate cellular devices constitutes hate speech and promoting violence.

As soon as I refused to delete the tweet on principle, I was forced to resort to Facebook so without further ado Canuck the knife wielding crow and then we've got a YouTube link and two story links

to a bird a crow called Canuck who lives in Canada and flies around with a knife

oh this is... If you thought I wasn't going to Google this immediately, you'd be fucking mistaken because I've got a YouTube video in front of me. While you pull that up, I'll finish reading. It says, also, in case you ever doubt the many contributions you two have made to the greater good, just know that Amit's Your Crossword Puzzles Everywhere

would have been well served by your podcast. Please see a text screenshot. Best of luck in all your future endeavors. Stay sane, you brave boys. Lily, on the off chance you're still doing friend zones, feel free to say my name. What were you laughing at, Tim? Stories are fucking beat up, but there is a good photo of the crow stealing a serrated knife, which is always good to see.

But then I think while the news crew were reporting on it, the crow appears to have come back. And I'm watching all this mute, so I'm guessing. And it's like fucking with their wireless equipment, trying to steal aerials and stuff. It's good. It's a good time. Swoop me. Swoop me. And the crossword,

the clue for 55 across was Carrie Bradshaw had one and sex in the city. The answer is shoe fetish. I need to blow my god damn nose that's what I need to do you're poorly aren't you, you're not in a good way I'm doing okay, I've been congested this entire fringe full disclosure

I did have a conversation can't even remember who with recently saying that you have a propensity to run yourself into the ground on these festivals, you just go so hard you do your show every night you generally do another show every night you'll be doing bloody podcasts left, right and centre

you're everywhere you've got to take advantage of these opportunities it's true but you've got to look after your health as well yeah you do, you've got to do two things at once it's true it's true but you gotta look after your health as well yeah you do you gotta do two things at once it's confusing

you gotta do both of them have you got a banger to take us out on Tim? no I'm putting the putting the nail in the coffin here and now there was something oh yeah

so just to let everyone know because what's happening at the moment is the first season of Overlooked and Undercooked is filling up in the feed. And some people were very confused. And to be honest, I probably should have put a little disclaimer on there, but I forgot before I left to go on holiday with my wife for a road trip. So I just thought it would be nice for those who hadn't heard it or even some people who had but hadn't heard it for a while to get a load of season one of overlooked and undercooked a season two hopefully will be coming out um pretty hot off the tail

of the first season um we we recorded half of the season and then we ran out of time so we're gonna probably need to do the other half um while we're in london together which will be fun and exciting so that's coming up could be so i hope you're enjoying that we really love that show it was so much fun to make it's so great having a different comedic voice on every episode and got to hang out with some really wonderful people and it's just it's mates you know it's mates being mates shitting on a dude hey apparently he's got a podcast did you see that monty yeah i didn't see someone reach out and say as much we should try and guest on that. Schneider, yeah. Oh, I'd be fearful. Be very scared.

It's called See What Happens. And there's a news article from the 28th of June, 2019 saying actor and comedian Rob Schneider launches weekly podcast See What Happens. Rob Schneider's wife, Patricia Mayer, to co-host.

So that would be as recent as a month and a half ago. I mean, this thing is in its infancy. We could really help out. We could bring some... Oh, has it only... It's only just started. Brand spanking, yeah. I didn't realize that.

The weekly show fetches occasional guests from the duo's Hollywood friends to their gardener while dissecting show business, their contrasting parenting methods, jokes, good food, philosophy, and more. Oh my God, the trailer's seven minutes. Oh man, it's got at least 500 views, and it's on Rob Schneider's official YouTube channel.

Well, all of these are positive signs that this is going to be a goodie. What's the top comment on here? Rob, hilarious stuff. I saw you years ago at Sam's camera, and you were tinkering with a large old-school camera that was as big as you. I wanted to say hello, but didn't want to bother you. All the best, man.

What a great comment. Delightfully innocuous YouTube comment. Oh, boy. That's good stuff. Well, I guess that's it for this Friend Zone, for this very special birthday edition of the Friend Zone. Tim, I am so sorry I didn't send you a gift across seas, but when I do see you in London town,

I'll be sure to take you out for a lovely meal, a romantic treat, perhaps. And for those of you who want to catch wind of how that goes, please come along to our live podcast on the 6th of September at 9.30pm as part of the London Podcast Festival. Thank you so much for corresponding with us. Sorry it's been a while between drinks, but we love the messages. Keep them coming.

And we'll be talking to you all once again very soon. Bye, folks.
