The Worst Idea Of All Time - Friendzone Eighty One

Episode Date: March 29, 2019

Mattress Pikelet King's house has been visited by a listener! Our memories of The Never-ending Story have been revisited! We get explanations on 76 Trombones, Tim’s great movie recommendation, a brief history of Blockbuster Video, some shade thrown at Matthew Broderick and correspondence from an honest to goodness Master Sergeant.If you’re in Melbourne, please come to our show: LittleEmpirePodcasts.com/Live 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 to the friend zone, with Tim and Guy, a trans-Tasman adventure in companionship. it in companionship um here's just to fill you all in on what happens before we hit the record button i have been listening to the never-ending story theme song just playing it through my laptop as i wait for guy to contend with um hotel wi-fi and i guess you're in what sydney at the moment you wish mate have you ever heard of Melbourne? Never heard of it. I reckon you're making it up. Melbourne doesn't exist. It's a city of water.

Oh, shit. We're doing a show in Melbourne. I should get off this roof. Come to buy tickets to our show. Yeah, that's right. Because we're going to be there in a month. It is on Sunday, April... 14th. 14th, 6 p.m at the european beer cafe it's almost sold out so

if you're planning on coming get on those tickets pronto now uh i was listening to the never-ending story a film i have not seen through second third-hand audio actually it sounded awful but yeah broken through i'm on the wi-fi we're talking to each other we're friends everyone listening is a friend and um have you you've not seen the never-ending story i've not seen the never-ending story it's on the long list of movies i have not seen it's a very emotional film and i think for a lot of people our age it really it's quite an emotional touchstone for different reasons for some people it represents a sexual awakening um i can't remember all the characters names but i think there is uh maybe the princess's name is

is andrea i'm sure everyone will be um a tree correcting me a trait is that her name yeah everyone knows that oh so you haven't even seen i remember falco the luck dragon that i remember um yeah of course and there's a there's a horse that falls into quicksand and dies and i that is and indelibly marked on my consciousness i will carry that scene to my grave because it is so sad did you cry yeah probably but you know it's one of those movies that i saw so many times as a kid that um it probably lost its emotional impact after the first first viewing of that horse going down. What a nightmarish scenario to put in a kid's film, eh? A beautiful horse disappearing into quicksand. Is it as sad as when Bambi's mother is killed by the hunters? I'd never seen Bambi!

Oh, wow. Look at us. Together, we're whole. Who has the time to watch these important cultural milestones when we're busy watching sex in the city twice a week which we have um we we sort of say this a little bit but we've really run out of runway now um very scared about what the next little period of time entails for us playing catch up. If you thought things were dark right now over on the podcast, I mean, you have no idea the depths of misery through which we are about to trudge

with you, our allies and comrades. Yeah, look, this is not a place to... I was genuinely scrunching at my face and rubbing my thumb and forefinger as deep into my eyeballs as I could comfortably understand when you were describing what's about to happen to me. And this is not the place for that. This is a place for lighthearted fun

and a place to celebrate our friendship. So I'm going to read something. Okay, cool. From the Worst Idea of All Time Facebook page. Dearest Brave Boys, I discovered the podcast around six months ago and have worked my way through all the eps at a medium pace. Potential Adam Sandler reference there? Who's to say? I work in a very quiet office and on numerous occasions have had to walk outside

feigning a phone call to mask my laughter. I want to thank you both for all the content. That's so nice. Discovering the potty has coincided with a difficult time in my life, so all the laughs are appreciated. Okay. That's all the positive stuff out the way for now. What prompted this message?

You're probably not asking. Well, I finished listening to Season 4, Episode 6, Positive stuff out the way for now. What prompted this message? You're probably not asking. Well, I finished listening to season four, episode six, mere minutes ago, and felt aggrieved enough to pick up my phone and draft this message. Uh-oh. What have we done? In the closing seconds of the episode,

Tim asked if he could recommend a movie he recently enjoyed. I immediately picked up my phone to search the movie about to be endorsed. I'm getting my fucking wisdom teeth removed in two weeks, so I'm on the prowl for some good flicks, you know. Anyway, our favorite piece of shit shut down this request, and the episode ended thusly. I don't consider myself an angry person, but the rage in the pit of my stomach is doing fucking suck, Tim.

If you can recall the film by the time this is read out, I think I'd feel whole again. Anyway, thanks for committing to another season. I'm enjoying it immensely and look forward to the remainder of the season. Love you, boys. Say my name, you savages. Corey Salima. Corey, it was The Spy Who D who dumped me by uh i believe her name is suzanna fogel i was i endorsed it

because i i'm i um through weird happenstance friend of a friend i managed to have uh dinner with her and the someone else who worked on the film who was a key member of the crew and i can't remember exactly that person's role but um so i saw the film because i was like well you can't have dinner with this uh this this writer director without seeing the the film that um you know she's currently put out with me lacuna's and then i i saw it and it was fucking awesome i really nice and um and uh who's the other woman who's in it, who's hilarious? In SNL and Bridesmaids. I know her name.

I totally know. Kate McKinnon. I've got to. And also our friend Lollietta Fope, who is holy Moses. She's having a real moment right now, and it's so deserved. Funniest person I know. She's in This Time with Alan Partridge. She's in a new series on hulu in america called shrill she was in miracle workers on tbs um she was in the latest mission impossible movie very convincingly might i add even though

as far as i know the woman has never worked in an office um i just like this is she going to be on an episode guy she's keen actually we've just got to find if she's got any spare time which it sounds like she probably doesn't but boy howdy i would love to get lolly yeah look i i'm on the record of saying i like her um and i stand behind that statement let's sort it out i just like to say uh that's very nice of you to recommend this movie to cory who had their wisdom teeth pulled presumably on the 18th of january 2019 one week after this correspondence was sent um go see the get the flick anyway people it's good all right it's real good you got anything going on over there, big boy? I got so much stuff going on over here, guy.

You wouldn't even credit. 76 trombones is the subject line. Kylie writes, hey, I'm super excited to have just discovered that you're doing a fourth season. I will note that this was sent at the very end of Jan. This is truly one of my Oprah's favorite things ever. I was devastated when I found out that I missed you guys in New York City last year. Clearly, I'm not on the up and up about your news. Is there something I can follow for internet on the podcast so I don't miss you again?

Blazing through the sixth episode, Old Alang Sign, right now. I don't know if you will figure it out in future episodes yet but i think i have the answer to 76 trombones riddle there was a tv movie remake of the musical the music man that i saw as a child along with eight other people in america it starred matthew broderick sjp's husband in which he sings the famous song 76 trombones it was not well received amazing bit of subtle in-house humor from the gang side note last year i went to a party that was at michael patrick king's former townhouse he had just moved in me a week before his presence lingered in every room there was an outdoor backyard area that was below ground of the house,

which could very well be the pit in which he penned those films. Thanks so much for the ridiculousness. I love every minute of it, Kylie. P.S. Did you know this was the first time an iPhone was ever featured in a movie? Wow. The hits kept coming with this one this this is all um firstly if you want to stay up to date with us you can uh and i would invite everyone to please join the facebook it's just facebook.com slash worst idea of all time and

we'll we put all the things up there um wow mattress pikelet king's house the energy question tim is it time we got a twitter man it would be so us to do it now wouldn't it yeah it's a dying medium so i think i looked do you know right at the birth of this podcast in 2014 i um i looked to see if twioat on twitter was available and it wasn't so it isn't now because they don't free up that's not how it works and so i just abandoned that's i had no idea we would be doing it now there's 13 followers to this thing at last tweeted in 2012 that's incredible who takes that handle um that was absolutely action packed that uh message with trivia also i don't know if it's the first time netflix was

mentioned but it's the earliest in terms of uh time stamps mentions of netflix i've ever heard sex in the city the movie it's like netflix for purses yeah because um which doesn't even kind of make sense now because it was back when they were doing dvds that's right posting them out in the mail to you know you turn them speaking of netflix this is just a because they were that was a rental place back then this is a fun little tidbit that i heard recently i think it was i don't know it came across my uh some online news feed that the blockbusters blockbuster ceo once passed up a chance to buy netflix for 50 million dollars in the year 2000. Yeah, man. There was a lot of bad calls that brought us to Blockbuster's current condition.

It's so sad, isn't it? That is just crazy. Through memory, Blockbuster, I think they had a venture going with Enron, who were famous for their good business acumen, to basically be Netflix before Netflix came out, but they were just a bit too early and the internet wasn't good enough. By some accounts, it still isn't in terms of speed. Hit me with your rhythm stick, Monty.

Dear Timbo. Hit me. Hit me with your rhythm stick. Dear Timbo and G Guy, hello from Florida. Yes, it's as oddball as the news would have you think. One of my dear friends pointed me to your podcast last year, and Sex and the City 2 helped me through a heck of a work here. Could I ask you gents to give her a shout-out on the next episode?

Her name's Diana, she's a fantastic friend, and a real pro on set. Oh, and we did watch Sex and the City 2. If nothing else, to see Coffee Guy. I'll put something in the tip jar for you both. Season 4's off to a cracking start. Thank you for bringing laughter to the world. Cheers, Monica Hansel. Hansel.

Hansel. Hansel? Anyway. I'd like to say hello to Diana, specifically. I'd like to say you've got a cool-ass name. You share a name with Wonder Woman. Doesn't get any better than that. Diane.

Does it? Who's Wonder Woman? Isn't Wonder Woman Lois Lane? That's Lois Lane from Superman. Oh, nice. Yeah. lois lane and you it's um lois lane from superman oh nice yeah i'm i'm i'm pretty up to speed with the comic books you get it you you how did there's another one how did dc drop the ball so badly they had all the best ip and now marvel's got us caring about people no one had heard of it's because marvel came out the gate and they were so uh ready to have fun and they went look at us we've got robert

downey jr former disgraced movie star thriller of men and eye candy of woman everywhere and uh and and he's semi-disgraced, but we've brushed him off. We've given him a new coat of paint and a brand new franchise to work with. And everyone went, this will never work. You're mad. You're crazy. And then they managed to get enough funding to buy ACDC's entire back catalogue to turn that first movie basically into a music video for the aussie rockers the

thunder from down under and everyone was like fuck yeah i want to crack open some beers watching this movie it's basically a barbecue at the cinema and that's the recipe for success you gotta have fun and because because marvel got out there so quickly dc were like oh we're the opposition party we've got to do the opposite of what they're doing, so we're going to be dark and brooding. Ooh, we've got Batman, and he's a little sad boy. Yeah. Ooh, dark palette, you know?

Yeah, I guess, in a sense, Marvel was playing with house money. They had nothing to lose. They got a character no one wants and a semi-disgraced movie star with a fresh lick of paint. Do your worst, you know? And ACDC. I reckon the music rights probably cost as much as anything else on the budget.

You get all the money from that first Iron Man movie, you cut it in half and you give half to ACDC. Marvel have made a real thing their soundtracks feature a lot of that vintage era of rock um it's the golden era for music generally i like guardians of the galaxy what a stroke of fucking genius i know chris pratt like people like him and stuff but to just go uh it's all about the 70s, guys. Yeah. It's all about the 70s.

We're not supposed to talk about other movies. I've got a message here. The message is from Craig, or Craig if he's American, which I will never understand. C-R-E-G is how you would spell the sound Craig. Craig. Right? Hey, Craig. Craig. Right? Hey, Craig.

Yeah. I've been listening to season two absolutely dying for you guys to discuss how much Liza Minnelli is being paid for that performance, and it's only took 45 episodes. But not only do you guys get around to it, you agree with my assessment that it's easy six figures. Jump straight on the webby to donate love from poland nice it's nice to hear how people while away the hours in poland that's really cool thanks for the thanks for the 20 donation there 20 polish pal craig not bad love it fucking love it um hey gents enjoying the new season this has probably already been addressed but the 76 trombones is reference to the song the same number the music man we really we sort of stirred a lot of people's uh trivia itch with

that oversight didn't we this is this is like what would happen um in a social media pile on you know because everyone's just trying to help and they don't kind of um you know it's impossible to take into account who else is getting in touch at the exact same time so all of a sudden on the receiving end you're like good god this is a dog pile um but everyone's just just throwing their two cents in individually you know well this one continues which admittedly in reference to the number 76 is still a bit of a perplexing number the musical is about a swindling traveling salesman who tricks a small town into buying band equipment and uniforms for their children and the promise of teaching them to play this sounds fantastic as is predictable is this what

the monorail episode is based on? I was just thinking that. As is predictable, he learns the folly of his ways and decides to stay and lead the band in the end, also winning the heart of the sceptical local librarian who saw through his act the whole time but was ultimately taken by his charm and altruism in the final act. Truly thrilling stuff.

Regardless, the joke is terrible and Matt Trispike-let should feel shame for including a vague reference to a musical from 1962 in the film boys it is certainly no longer in the public zeitgeist keep on keeping on with love from san francisco this is a good time to say that guy yeah i'm sorry finish that sentence we're rebranding from the boys to the frosty fellas. Frosty fellas. I didn't know it was fellas was the suffix. Yeah.

So we're the frosty boys. No, no, no. I've just upgraded it. Although this is probably going to... Frosty men. We do sound like meanies then. Yeah, we do. The frosty fellas has a very gross ring to it not in a sexual way or anything it's just the the i don't know the cadence of it doesn't sit

well with me yeah it's a bit of frosty fellas that's what makes it good you're right you're right you're right we're the frosty fellas you will hear that adventure in a episode coming up very soon because we've lost pretty much all the lag time now um uh do you oh this is the question i want to ask you guy do you think that matthew broderick has a good voice singing voice uh it's not memorable to me so no it is neither good nor poor yeah like he was in the producers from memory yeah you got it and i don't remember him singing i don't remember him singing in that movie i remember his like his face do you think he's cool because you're a big ferris bueller's guy

ferris bueller's day off guy he is uh i don't think he is cool nah huge ferris bueller fan it's weird to have someone who knocks it out of the park so mightily with one of their early movies and then kind of run in another direction and i'm also i'm quite a i like a musical i really enjoy a good musical but i've never thought that um it always kind of surprised me when i found out that matthew broderick did musicals in musical theater and i don't think he's got a very good voice i think he just was really famous and he enjoys doing it so people keep letting him yeah the in terms of singing very main thing to say but i think i could be right i don't think he's gonna listen

uh i remember nathan lane he's got an iconic voice nathan lane was also in the producers with matthew broderick i will watch anything nathan lane is in i i love him to bits He is a rare talent I love that Rory writes Big fan, thanks for the hours of entertainment From a New Zealander doing a PhD in the UK And Rory has also shifted us a Benjamin Franklin? Oh, that's one of the big ones

Is that the 20? No Who's on the 20? A Lincoln? Lincoln's on the 20 a lincoln lincoln's on the five a george washington i think he's on the one far out who is on the 20 in america uh i'm trying i'm researching it now uh george washington on the one dollar bill thomas jeff Washington on the $1 bill. Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill. It's Andrew Jackson.

Abraham Lincoln on the $5 bill. Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill. And Roland and the Benjamins is on a $100 bill. Harriet Tubman will soon be replacing Andrew Jackson on the 20. That's cool.

That is really cool. Keith writes to us via the medium of email. Greetings from Alaska, Timbo, and Guy Guy. I've been listening to the podcast... Oh, God. Just a heads up. Maybe I should skim this one, actually. The subject line is 76 trombones and the big parade.

I'll stop when this gets too repetitive. I've been listening to the party for a while, and I was simply despondent when season three came to a close while I was preparing to deploy in Afghanistan. Luckily, to my great joy, the re-release of season one lined up quite nicely with my trip overseas, and I was able to listen to the boys slowly lose their minds for the first time. In an odd twist of happenstance i was transferred over to iraq around the time the season one redux

finished out and i was able to get my fix of the dulcet kiwi tones from a bunch of new zealand army blokes whom i had the pleasure of working with as a former trombonist i wanted to clear up your confoundment with this ridiculous 76 trombones quip it's a reference uh the reference is a deep cut about signature song of 1957 musical the music man by meredith wilson which was later adapted into a film in 62 and a made for tv special in 03 that being said i agree 76 trombones is far too many brass instruments for any occasion and 75 wedding guests is an oddly specific and oddly odd number since at least one guest will not be able to bring a date. It's so true.

Hope this clears up the confusion. Thanks for keeping up the good work and making my time in the war zone just a little more tolerable. P.S. Say my name because now that I'm home I have no Kiwis around me to call me a piece of shit on a regular basis your friend Master Sergeant KC Horan it's from Keith Horan well Keith you sound like a regular POS to me my friend so big shout out to you welcome home you got it you got it Keith you've got the treatment guy gave you the the business. I did. Hey, fellas. I hope you're both well. At the behest of a great mate of mine,

I recently binge listened to all of your first season in about two weeks. Celebrating finishing, this friend and I decided to watch the double feature of Grown Ups 2, followed by Grown Ups, the correct order. For some unknown reason, perhaps the sheer speed with which we inject

with the podcasts and the films, our minds went into overdrive, contemplating the very fabric of the universe that Letty Fader inhabits. This is quite a substantial message, Tim. Okay, great. Let me just put my feet up. Yeah. What first struck us is how the first film provides so little motivation for the second. So many of the characters' motivations, personalities and lives

seems to change dramatically between the films. Mackenzie's story changes inexplicably from film to film. Roxanne goes from a Milan frequenting fashion designer to running a store in town with minimal character development. Rob ceases to exist and at no stage is there motivation for all these friends who hadn't seen each other in ages to up sticks and move back home. In fact, it's not out of the question to say most sequel characters, perhaps aside from Lenny and Becky,

are distinct from their original counterparts. This bears striking resemblance to the Nintendo 64 games The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask We're In. Exactly the same character models were reused, a decision that was likely financially motivated and cleverly justified by the fact that the latter game takes place in this some sort of parallel universe or dream state the only logical conclusion from this all having now seen both films is that grown-ups 2 is just the dream of one of the grown-ups characters this realization

explains a great many things including the non-naturalistic physics and laws of the second film namely nixon vulnerability higgins survival in the tire and the fact that lenny mckenzie and laminsoff all managed to get to the aforementioned tires final destination seconds after it stops despite the fact it was traveling with immense speed the question then becomes whose dream is it i think i can rule out rob given it'd be pretty unusual to not be in your own dream but perhaps but perhaps i'm merely an ignorant fool when it comes to dream law as the reluctant world experts on grown-ups too i'm curious as to your thoughts and a big thanks to both of you for making the sacrifice that others won't and making these podcasts that comes from fred A great message and well delivered by Monty.

That professorial tone on, but whose dream is it? Didn't see that coming. Oh man, whose dream is it do you think? I reckon it's Lamansoff's. Why? I think he spends the most time asleep, so it's just a numbers game, isn't it? Yeah, I suppose so.

But who, like, because you don't always come up well in your dreams. So, I mean, in likelihood, if you just follow the notion of pure screen time, it'd be Lenny Fader. Because you do usually occupy the most space in your own dreams, don't you? I think you can be absent from your own dreams. I think I've had dreams where I wasn't really in it.

I was sort of observing some stuff. But I don't know. I have real trouble remembering my dreams. It's about the notion of friendship. So who do we know? Which of the ancillary characters dreams of being involved with the group the most? Nick.

That's Nick's dream. That's so sad. Yeah, it is. He gets very mistreated in his dream about the boys. Should we do one more each? That was such a good message. Thank you. Who was that from again, Guy?

If it's still there. They didn't have their name, but it was from a man named Fred, who hopefully we'll be seeing at the live show in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Legendary. Brooke writes, dear Timbo, Limbo,bo bimbo and my guy guy long time listener first time caller here i began listening to your podcast in the first in the oh this isn't going to work i've hold on let me pick up my computer bring it closer to me uh i began listening to your podcast in the year of the final season but

due to the fact i started with season one episode one i was only partly through season time by the time you had finished even more disappointingly i received the news that you had a live show in new york just days after it transpired guy i'll just take a breather here we are not good at marketing are we no two people have mentioned this. Also, worth noting that around the time of one of my favorite Little Empire podcasts, Boners of the Heart, had also ceased production.

That's not true. That's still going. So when news of season four rolled around many months later, I was ecstatic at the opportunity to experience TWIOAT in real time only to find out that they had been secretly pre-recorded but all bummers aside i see that fresh new friends only episodes are back and unfortunately for you but to my great enjoyment the time between record

and upload of worst idea season four episodes are dwindling i imagine sometime soon they may catch up to guy's unique definition of the term live. Anyways, I really wish I could be part of your lovely Patreon community, but unfortunately I do not currently have an income and I'm already pissing away my card, my cold, hard digital monies on music streaming services. I am, however, an avid follower on the Instagrams. I'm at bees.png if you'd like to know and i would love to attend one of guys comedy shows in new york sometime if he would only book a gig that isn't 21 plus

i could legally come to an 18 plus show or you could buy me a fake id or grant me a personal pardon or something i don't know tim give that adorable pup a scratch behind the ear from me, and I hope you're enjoying that southern hemisphere summertime to the fullest as I currently freeze my toes off in my bedroom. Thanks for the laughs. Sorry for the misconnections. I love you both a reasonable amount. Say my first name and any accents your heart desires.

Brooke. What's his surname? Did I lose Guy? What's his surname? Did I lose Guy? What's his surname? Does he say my first name in any accent your heart desires? Brooke. Meant to be Irish. Don't know how it came out.

It came out scared, which isn't really an accent. This one was in my Twitter DMs. Dear Timberlina and holly guy lightly i'm sending this message via twitter because i see no reason why snooping our digital footprint nay our deepest inner thoughts should be restricted only to the facebooks and googles of the world having listened to every hashtag twioat director's-Hour Energy and having not watched a single worst-seller of all-time film, I've got to say it's as much of a delight as it ever was

to be on this journey with you boys. A few thoughts on the levels of despair you've reached around the 1-hour 30 mark of this latest effort. 1. You might be losing your mental acuity or you might not, but who's to say losing your mental acuity is an art?

Two, surely losing perspective on the film, the project, and everything was kind of the point. If not, what is? You might be real pieces of shit, but you're our pieces of shit, and we love you for it. Stay strong, and keep the eps coming. Cheers from the stolen Gadigal land, Kristen. P.S. Please let Keith know that his Nottinghamshire accent is among the worst bits of noise ever passed by human ears.

Though things did improve as he melted towards a lilt reminiscent of Neville. P.P.S. I'm real pov right now, but once life gets back on track, I look forward to hashtag paying the boys. P.P.S. I couldn't send this to Tim Bat

because he's got his direct messages turned off like a real prude. That's from Twitter user... No, I don't. Kristen. Oh, on Twitter. Huh. I'll flick that off, I guess.

I'll open my DMs, everyone, so you can feel free to contact me that way. Who's Keith with the terrible accent what's presumably a character who showed up in the director's commentary oh okay oh you oh yes yes yes uh yes we love keith we covered a lot of ground and that director's commentary hey by the way i decided in my infinite infinite wisdom to video record the entire four hour and I think 51 minute ordeal of the back to back director's commentary episode. Infinite wisdom is right. So if you want access to that, I'm opening it up to anyone who's supporting us on Patreon.

So if you're giving a dollar, you get it. If you're giving more than a dollar, you also get it. That's great. You're a good man. We need to do a Patreon, actually. That's right. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

We're over due, I think. Oh, God damn. Hot dog. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Guy Montgomery on, I'm sure, smashing a gala performance for an Australian TV viewership, which will be airing when, Guy? Later?

I believe it is on Sunday, March 30th, or Saturday, March 30th, maybe. I'll just have a look. I did the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala with Oxfam. And that will be going out on the ABC on Sunday, the 31st of March at 8.30pm. I went okay. My first joke didn't get the big hooting laugh I'd anticipated, but I held steady and really fucking hammered him through the middle.

And as always, I encourage anyone who's listening to this right now to come and check out my live show. I was part of the problem before. We were talking about it during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival or if by chance you're in Sydney, Auckland, Wellington, Canberra, or the Gold Coast, I'm doing it there. Just Google my name and your city. Or you could go to, I'm pretty sure it's up to date,

at littleempirepodcasts.com slash live. I'm trying to get on top of everyone's live shows on there. There is a lot of them because everyone on this network is a live stand-up comedian performing shows all around the place so i'm trying to keep that as up-to-date as i can and uh most if not all of guys shows are on there yeah are you doing a great job i'm looking at it now i'm doing a job the job is happening it's all up there um well thank you so much for your correspondence. We're almost caught up. Before long, you know, we're all going to be living in the present day.

So thank you for everyone who has written us. Sorry that we have a backlog of correspondence to get through. We are slowly coming to terms with the fact that this isn't a special or secret season. This is just the same mistake repeating itself soon to be at warp speed. Look after each other out there. Be kind to everyone. If you can afford to, this is one of my things I like.

Buy, buy someone, buy someone a coffee. Someone you don't even know. It'll make their day. It will, it will give them so much more value Than the price of the coffee You should do that

If they don't drink coffee Maybe a A biscuit Or a cookie Whatever it takes But have a wonderful day And we'll see you very soon Goodbye

This is the Frosty Fellas signing off.
