Starting point is 00:00:00 Today. You ready? Okay, let's go. The hunt for the wildest movie of the summer. Everybody run! Ends here. This is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately. Borderlands, now playing.
Starting point is 00:00:17 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. This monologue is the reminder of whether or not to shampoo or condition first. So I'm like, do I condition or do I shampoo? And they go, no, shampoo is better. I go in the hair first and and wash the hair are you genuinely getting mixed up about which of those goes first which would you do well i've told you always okay i didn't even uh and this is this is hot off the trail of you telling me i'm being a contrarian all evening which is absolutely true and i want
Starting point is 00:01:03 to i want to just throw that grumpy mood right out the window. Where do you got a hot piping flask of there, Tim? It's water. Just hot water. This is my new thing. You've been away too long, friend. Oh, man. So I now rock boiling hot water with a slice of lemon in it at all times.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Do you order it in cafes? No. No. No. Can you imagine such a thing? I've been to meals where people have done just that. Is the cafe charging for it? No, it's free.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Yeah, it should be free too. That's brilliant. God. What a scam they're running. Then they take it out the front, put it in a flask, sell it for $5. Who's selling the $5 water? It's a flask. You get the flask as well.
Starting point is 00:01:45 You get the... Oh, man. This flask is worth a lot of money, apparently. People keep telling me. Yeah, I've seen that flask for heaps of money. Nice. Welcome to the friend zone, everybody. That's so awesome.
Starting point is 00:01:59 How'd you get it for free? When I went to Portland to do an ad for beef jerky, they gave me one classic them yeah it's so them isn't it um so everyone here we are uh if you're listening in order you're in between the well you've just heard the second well you haven't just it was a little while ago that it came out but the second director you're not to say when they listen to it. That's a good point. And that was featuring Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery from memory. Of course, it was definitely both of us.
Starting point is 00:02:35 I remember it well. Sorry, the reason why I just went deathly silent there is, yeah, something's going on, isn't it? Yeah. It's all good stuff. It's all good technical stuff. Hey, so should we dive into the old mailbag? We should, because I just was trying to read some images that I got sent, or that we got sent, should I say. And I should say that, because it is we.
Starting point is 00:02:56 But before we do that, Guy, how are you? I'm pretty good, thank you, Tim. I've just been up a mountain today with my mum It sounds weirdly metaphorical but it isn't No it's exactly what we did You genuinely were up a New Zealand mountain New Zealand famous for its mountains and for its mums Yeah we've got some of the best mums in mountains
Starting point is 00:03:21 You put them together It's true You get a great day That's right So I'm in a fantastic mood. I just arrived. I came straight here from the airport through the beautiful Waterview Tunnel. Oh, we got a new tunnel.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. We got a new tunnel and we're so excited about it. Everyone who tells me about the tunnel, they say, oh, we drove through the tunnel today. It's deep. Everyone's calling it deep. Deep. And as though they're surprised by the depth now when you say deep do you mean like kind of when you say deep my head goes under the earth
Starting point is 00:03:52 but do you mean like in terms of it's long yeah yeah right it's a long tunnel yeah yeah it's enough time that when you're inside of you're like whoa you know that's what they think you appreciate the depths of the tunnel did You appreciate the depths of the tunnel. Did you appreciate the depths of the tunnel or were you primed for it by all this? I'd already been through it. The early reviews were in. I didn't think it was particularly deep. Just a lot of people calling this tunnel deep.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I've been to some cool movies while you've been away, man. I've really been soaking up that film festival. Classic. I went to a film. Real movies, man. How special are they when you're not watching something 52 times in a year i watched a a film called the love witch it's really good oh it sounded like someone undoing a fly it did i can can the people hear that and they're yeah i think so oh well we don't know what that was. Or that. It's annoying.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I'll tell you that for free. I went around, I spent $100 replacing all the cables. That has not fixed the problem. And we just swapped one of the microphones out. I'm not even sure
Starting point is 00:04:53 what it could be. Well, anyway. It's a spirit, man. But yeah, look, Love Witch. The studio is possessed. If you get a chance to see that,
Starting point is 00:05:00 it's cool, baby. Do you want to tell me about it? It's kind of like a, it's done very much in the style of a late 70s or early 70s late 60s um feminist uh sexual thing it's got a little bit of like wicker and witchcraft in it but nothing supernatural it's about a woman that ghost he loves hearing about this film. He's aroused.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yeah, it's crazy stuff. Digital arousal. I mean, that guy, he's getting his rocks up on that. Yeah, I don't know what to say. I feel like when the ghost makes itself known, I'm suddenly afraid to speak. It's the third podcast host. Maybe I should get the knife in here and then the ghost won't feel so welcome. Hey, we should read some letters, huh?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, yeah. The first letter's not even a letter, Tim. Should we see if the ghost... Do you want to read any letters, ghost? Oh, you see, you can't call him on. I'm wieldy. It's a letter that is 2,000 words. Cool.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Okay, let me just... Okay, I'm in a good,000 words. Cool. Okay, let me just... Okay, I'm in a good comfy position. That is to say it is two pictures. He's good. Yeah, that was good. It's a coffee cup from Romance and the Bean, Magnolia Park, and then a very low-resolution photo of the menu, which it's hard to make out exactly what they serve,
Starting point is 00:06:25 but I believe granola is up. Now, granola, it's not something we even talk about in New Zealand, but that's like muesli, right? Yeah, I think that's what they call muesli. What they call a granola bar, we call a muesli bar. And it's just when you put a lot of sugar around some oats, basically. Yeah, sugar's what binds the oats together otherwise you're just eating loose oats yeah that's embarrassing and that's just oats but granola
Starting point is 00:06:50 yeah granola's when you charge 12 for it because you fucking dumped some berries out of a tin on top god bless you for doing it that's commerce no review of romance and the bean just the two images and then actually here at the bottom uh hashtag pay the boys. Well, I'd better see these puppies. Can I have a gander at these 2,000 words? I mean, they might very well have been downloaded from a TripAdvisor or, you know, Google Review. They're not that low-rise. That's all right, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:07:14 That looks like some classic iPhone imagery to me. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful stuff. I like that menu. I like the look of that menu. We've got to go, don't we? We've got to get to LA And go to romancing the bean It is imperative
Starting point is 00:07:27 I'm in a mood to At the moment Just do some silly things Right now Yeah In the sort of broader sense Of you know At the moment
Starting point is 00:07:38 So you're going to get crazy I feel bloody Shackled by the This constant Having to be in New Zealand for this TV show. I don't like it, man. I don't like the commitment of it. No, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:07:54 It's great. No, man. It's great. It means you can't just bail. You can go away for several years, not for as many days consecutively. Yeah. I don't like it. Oliver says, hey, Tim and Guy Guy,
Starting point is 00:08:06 quick question for the friends on. How much money would you each have to be paid to do season four? $10,000? $15,000? Cheers for the laughs. Oliver sent from my iPhone. Oliver sent from my iPhone.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Can you please repeat the question? How much for a season four? $10,000? $15,000? No, sorry, no. No amount of money. Well, hold on. Technically, the answer to that is whatever the production budget would be
Starting point is 00:08:36 for Grown Ups 3, which I think would be a cheaper film to make than Sex and the City 3. So I guess, in a way, that's the amount of money yeah if you've got a lot of time and money on your hands and want to go very roundabout way of getting something done yeah uh that is something you could do hey do you know another way you could do it is like create a program right get some of that machine learning sprinkle it in some of that ai goodness and uh feed into this computer machine application program all of our podcasts and then tell it what our words are and then it would be able to reconstruct and and make whole new episodes based
Starting point is 00:09:19 on stuff we've already said you know we could live on forever just in random collections of the imaginations of a machine so tim has provided several great ways that you could use your 10 or 15 000 to enhance the likelihood of a season four shit yeah that's a great read another one though because that one was um short this one has an accompanying even wait for the answer. I'm sorry. I will only go if you approve it. This is the friend zone. Of course you can.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Someone's given a 65... You've got to respect the process of question and answer. Ask and answer. Exactly. Someone's given a 65 US dollars, and they've written thus. Firstly, that's a lot of money. Secondly, here's the message.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Hi, Gimbo and Tirebride Guy. I last messaged you at the end of season two when I briefly mentioned my brother's genitalia and sent over a few bucks. You'd think that'd ring some bells, huh? Yeah, you really do. Just wanted to let you know that I gave you guys a shout-out
Starting point is 00:10:21 in my recently released Eon Recommends blog for my work. I really hope I'm pronouncing this. How would you pronounce E-O-I-N? Eoin. Eoin? Ian. Ian.
Starting point is 00:10:32 That's how you spell Ian. Is it? Yes. Is it Gaelic? Is it the Gaelic spelling? Okay, Ian. Sorry, Ian. Ian Recommends blog for my work.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I do appreciate that it seems a bit ridiculous to be recommending this project at the exact moment that you guys are about to call time on the whole damn thing and move on to do something else brackets although let's face it it probably will be a lot less worthwhile and a lot uh and a much less efficient use of your time hashtag twioat forever hashtag pay the boys however i'm anticipating that after the mighty three shares me my mom and my md uh and a whopping two likes my mom and my md that this article has received already on facebook exceeding
Starting point is 00:11:13 all expectations for my previously published articles of which there are none you will now be inundated with millions of new listeners and subscribers on your remaining few episodes all thanks to a simple few words from me i of course look forward to receiving from you one third of my share of the huge amounts of cash and free blaze pizzas this article will have generated because that's how the internet works isn't it i'm already picturing retiring early on my desert island with my wife and kids as i sit here typing up my letter of resignation waiting for this massive new income source to start rolling in. Though, I might delay handing in this letter just now to avoid a dramatic decrease in the number of shares and likes, and basically have an all-round detrimental effect on my social media analytics. Anyway, here's a few more bucks to say thanks for all
Starting point is 00:11:59 the laughs and hours of content you've provided me. Cheers article below ian ps oh my gosh how can you put a ps on that when in god's name is the new podcast featuring guy's dad in which he reviews every episode of the west idea of all time and then proceeds to inform the host timbert and guy montgomery what he liked but more importantly how it should be improved upon coming out i was in hysterics when the pilot episode debuted on the friend zone and have waited with bated breath for the official launch of the fantastic new series, but nothing so far. Please rectify
Starting point is 00:12:31 immediately. Well, thank you so much for the donation and generous letter. I was really on the journey there for a while. I was doing that.
Starting point is 00:12:47 You got me real up behind, real good for a little bit. And then I didn't quite understand trading in shares at the end. Wow. It's good stuff. Now I've clicked on the link and Ian appears to work for Slinky Productions, a UK
Starting point is 00:13:04 production company And there's our podcast on there Feels weird recommending a three year project I'm not going to keep reading this right You don't want that That's crazy But it's yeah I can confirm that he's put us on there
Starting point is 00:13:15 Alongside Baby Driver You thought maybe he was lying About putting us on there You suspected he'd go to all of that artifice To not have put the article up And Philip Bloom good on you uh this one comes from amelia holy smokes guys i just got behind on my episodes and finally listen to your super sweet me oh amelia is the artist um formerly known as amelia no no no. I still... Amelia Harness, who did this fantastic,
Starting point is 00:13:48 you'll remember, image of James Reid from The Feelers. Yeah, shit. I do remember that. That touched me deeply. Well, holy smokes, guys. I just got behind on my episodes and finally listened to your super sweet mention over the top plug of my website.
Starting point is 00:14:04 You really didn't have to. I honestly didn't intend to make it into a shameless self-promotion thing i just remembered you brave boys had that whole storyline about the skateboard shop postcard guy anyway i'd love you to i'd love to mail you the original if you'd like it no pressure just let me know thanks again you guys legends peers of course it's too late now but i wish i had challenged other fans to make a patty schwartz portrait out of Blaze pizza sauce and a Coffee Guy portrait with Starbucks for the complete trifecta. That's so good. This image is out of red wine, I believe.
Starting point is 00:14:32 A red wine stain portrait. Oh, God, that's so perfect. Someone does need to do that, please. Just ordering people around. Yeah. I'm not ordering. The ghost wants it. It's not, um, I feel like it's not ordering. It's. The ghost wants it. It's not.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I feel like it's not ordering people around when it's not attached to a specific person. Right. Someone make me some eggs. That's not ordering really. No, but it's, you know, it's. Guy, make me some eggs. I think if you said someone make me some eggs, I would be more threatened and therefore more likely to make you eggs. If you said Guy, make me some eggs,
Starting point is 00:15:08 I'd say, like, fuck off to make your own eggs. Dude, I've got another real long one, so do you want to have another one first and then I'll dive into this? Okay. Ghost would like to butt in also. Hi. Hi, Timbly, Wimbly, and Guy Guy.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I'm writing to you From Auckland's fair north shore As I settle in To listen to the We Are Your Friends Strictest commentary now that I've finally caught up with the potty Maybe it'll be long enough to last Until I've bussed all the way home But knowing the traffic in this city
Starting point is 00:15:39 There'll be a gamble Great read I started listening Earlier this year when there was a rash of articles about you fine boys and your noble project. At the time, I thought it sounded ridiculous because who can manage something like that for three years? Turns out, just because people can do something doesn't mean they should. Ain't that the truth. But your good hearts and amazing humor made it my favorite podcast of all time. Even in your darkest moments, you two are sweethearts and national treasures,
Starting point is 00:16:06 and it's been such a joy to listen. Out of all your fans, I think I must be one of the few genuinely grateful for your unintended hiatus because it gave me the chance to catch up before you were done for good. All the best, and I hope you're keeping warm through this nasty winter. Holy fuck, dude. I honestly forgot we were doing 60. Oh, dang it.
Starting point is 00:16:30 No, it's crazy because I have absorbed that as facts. Oh, I've forgotten for about the last week. Ah, well, there you go. Oh, sorry. Sorry to interject. Heaps of times we go, no, no, no, not at all. Just sort of let everyone know. I enjoy that. It's a moment to be cherished.
Starting point is 00:16:46 By your own hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got no one to blame but myself, and I know it. But thank you very much, Sarah, for that wonderful and generous message. Generous is coming up a lot tonight, the word generous. Do you know what I can't get out of my head? The DuckTales theme. DuckTales.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Woo! Walla walla hoo! in my head the duck tales theme duck tales that's uh we're hot american summer which i've been watching the new ones this is so ridiculous what is it sorry wet hot american summer i see 10 years on life is like a hurricane brock writes Hurricane. Brock writes, Dear Timbo the Himbo and Guy Guy the Guy's Guy. Love that. I'm trying my damnedest to get this message into the friend zone under the wire. Oh, shit. How late are we on this? Oh, very.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Oh, boy. Oh, no. I've been meaning to write you for a long time. My name is Brock. My origins can be traced back to friend zone. Episode 14 is the boyfriend of Emily from Arizona, the quote racist friend who wore the turban to Sex and the City 2. Haver.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Haver. That makes sense. Not Haver. Haver's not a word. Not a word. I would like to inform all of our friends on the zone that I have upgraded from Emily's boyfriend to her fiancé. And she accepted my marriage proposal shortly before our trip to new zealand last december
Starting point is 00:18:05 while in new zealand the highlight of our trip was actually running into you lovely lads your friends eli and joseph your girlfriends eli and joseph and sharing a few beers after going eli's show you treated us so well while we fanboyed out and we felt so blessed to cement our friends uh friend zoneship with you good boys throughout our relationship we've so blessed to cement our friend zoneship with you good boys. Throughout our relationship, we've been able to bond over our shared love of the worst idea of all time and the Little Empire podcast. And there has been a Kiwi influence in our experience together. We have you boys to thank for that. So sincerely, thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Consider this small devilish donation a small token of our appreciation. About the amount for a beer in New Zealand. As we also contribute to patreon we'd also like to drop some we are your friends knowledge the actor who played squirrel has popped up in a few other indie films i've seen over the years and i'm fairly confident in saying that he spoiler alert dies in every single one my theory is that it must be the same character who enters this film subverts his way into the other characters lives extorts them for friendship money or other nefarious ends and then fakes his own death whenever any of them get too close to finding out the truth about his past this has never been about zikoli this has been squirrel's tale all along
Starting point is 00:19:18 as a final request i could think of no more appropriate wedding gift than for you to call out Brian. tickets immediately borderlands now playing ambrosius for being a real piece of shit and an uncultured swine who has never given this podcast the chance it deserves you are good boys brave boys our favorite boys good luck with your future endeavors we'll be sure to stay tuned brock kircher phoenix aA-K, sealed with a kiss. Because a kiss is always a gift. My man. That is a tale of triumph and happiness. It really is.
Starting point is 00:20:16 And I just like the, what's the name of the guy who's never given us a shot? Brian. What's his last name? Well, I'm confident I mispronounced it, which you could see by the expression I gave. Ambrosius? Ambrosius? A-M-B-R-O-S-I-U-S. I'm not far off.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I reckon Ambrosius. Ambrosius. Yeah. Is that a name? Brian Ambrosius? He's never even going to fucking hear it. You can call him what you want. And I think it would only be fair to call him for both of us,
Starting point is 00:20:46 on behalf of Tim and myself. I know you've already done this, Tim. A real piece of shit. A real piece of shit. But not our man Brock. No. Heck no. And his fiancee, Emily,
Starting point is 00:20:56 who I think we hung out with him at the Classic. I'm pretty sure I remember you guys. You were awesome. It was a good night. We did a split bill show, Eli and I, and then we all went downstairs and we had a few bloody beers. It was that night, yes. Over the bar, down the classic. Bloody lovely.
Starting point is 00:21:13 It was bloody lovely. 321 Queen Street is the address and that's how you remember it. It's also how you count down to something. uh uh uh uh oh no sorry that's
Starting point is 00:21:30 I read I read that to myself it was not uh relevant to the friend zone I apologize that's alright guy allow me to fill time as skillfully as I always
Starting point is 00:21:41 have been known to be able to do I feel sleepy tonight that's all right i feel like a tired little boy um i've been eating a lot of maltesers though i'll tell you that yeah went to the supermarket just have a bit of a walk to get some uh bread and milk yeah yeah because the dairy shut down we call a corner store a dairy here in new zealand or in australia your milk bar no one calls it that in Australia. No, they call it a convenience store. Everyone's got 7-Elevens now.
Starting point is 00:22:08 It's 7-Eleven the world over except New Zealand. We call it a dairy. We steadfastly refuse to invite that franchise into our lives. Where do you get your milk? The dairy has shut down. That was super close to my house. And it's a bit of a tragedy because I've lived in this neighbourhood for a good many years, and that dairy has always been known as ghetto dairy to me because it is uh
Starting point is 00:22:29 essentially has been derelict since i was living here and the owners spoke not a syllable of english and it was always just you know how some things don't change and they just become a lovely rock of unchanging steadfastness in a changing world. It was like governments may come and go, relationships may start and end, but Ghetto Dairy will always be here not knowing how to say no credit in English. And now they're gone and it hurts a bit
Starting point is 00:23:00 and I've got to walk way further to get bread and milk. Well, I'm sorry for your tale of absolute woe. Have I burned up enough time? Have you got a message yet? Yeah, well, this isn't even a full friendzone message. This is just also that person from 16 friendzones is right. Now, what constitutes a full friendzone message? Does it need to be a beginning, a middle, and an end?
Starting point is 00:23:19 And a funny take on our names? And instructions on whether or whether we can actually know what i've uh i've done this a disservice this is a message dating back to the 29th of july first of all it's a photo of um some beers made by that great beer company sierra nevada and the beers are called summer fest yes and I can't believe I glossed over that. I just saw a picture of my eyes shut down and wanted to text. I was in a frenzy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:50 So that's very great. That's great. I'd love to drink some of that with you sometime, Tim. I really appreciate seeing the friend zone imagery. Yeah. A lot of people just send random things. You know, when I was in Portland, no shit, there was a Summerfest happening there,
Starting point is 00:24:09 and I tried to blow off the plans I did have to go there just so i could do some photos and stuff but to no avail i'm sorry to hear that should have got a photo of the poster sorry continue and then the message is also that person from 16 friend zones ago is right partial serrations mess up a survival knife i don't really remember talking about survival knives. Well, of course, the knife, as we know it now, which is the Knife 2.0, does have a serrated component to it. It has some teeth at the base. Never really got into grips on whether or not that was a good thing, but there we go.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Two people telling me it's bad for a survival knife. Just carry different types of knives. This sounds like a good solution. Yeah. If you carry more knives, you get in less trouble. My fiance keeps asking me what I want for my birthday. And I keep saying a nice knife. And she keeps ignoring what I want.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Is that what you want? Yeah. Well, I don't want anything. I want for nothing. I'm all good. So why do you say the nice knife? Oh, just because I think it's funny to keep saying to her that I want a knife for my birthday. Do you actually want the knife?
Starting point is 00:25:17 No, I've got a knife, don't I? Yeah, but if you keep asking, even if you're joking, if you keep saying, oh, a knife, a good knife. Yeah. Eventually, you know, Zoe's going to think, oh, this guy wants a knife. This guy probably wants a really nice knife. I wouldn't be disappointed if I got a knife. So you do want the knife. Well, no, I don't want and not be disappointed by two different things.
Starting point is 00:25:39 No, you don't want the knife, but every time you ask what you want, you say you want the knife. Hear me out. I'm asking for it a lot, and I won't be disappointed if it turns up. That doesn't mean I want it. Sebastian writes, dear. Why do you want a new knife? No, it's just an absence of wanting anything. You've got to say something, right?
Starting point is 00:25:58 She's like, what do you want for your birthday? I don't know. A knife. Give me a knife. Sorry. I don't know. A knife. Give me a knife.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Sorry. Dearest Montgomery Meow and the Screech of Bats. This is very creative. Poets written this. After a little digging, I noticed that We Are Your Friends eponymous song runs at 123 BPM. In fact, every song in the soundtrack is between 120 and 128 bpm with one outlier at 114 younger kygo remix so why does the colleague hate house music so much if that's literally all he plays also why in the movie with a title track if it's one of his warm-up songs 5 bpm away from the mystical magical rate of 128 my theory is that this is an analogy of the film significance to the actor
Starting point is 00:26:45 efron himself and how he no doubt views the project as a warm-up to bigger and artier movies love every moment drink every coffee like it's your last and fuck your friends girlfriends while you can hey my name seb p this is a man with a taste for adventure yeah this is a man with a devil make your attitude towards his friends partners and there is something very attractive about that and also villainous but as is the human condition there's something cool about that it's just uh he's just not the doing it the attitude it's the coffees it's the relentless amount of coffee he drinks in his quest to live every day now if you knew that you were dying very soon and you had a coffee in your hand what would the manner be in which you drink it because i would actually save the fuck out of that thing
Starting point is 00:27:36 uh i would i yeah i i'm no good with uh really hot liquids so i'd buy you know i'd be forced to drink it slowly unless i wanted to scold myself yeah oh i i'd sooner not thank you very much i've read a horrible story about that recently i won't bring it up um quickly get onto another message i don't have to i can get some brain bleach dear tim and guy thank you for your many years of hilarious podcasts. I put the R in. I shouldn't have put the R in. Okay. Don't beat yourself up, Guy. It's alright. Dear Tim and Guy, thank you for...

Starting point is 00:33:54 I like that. It was like a strike. It was one of those strikes that isn't fancy. It doesn't look like it's going to do anything else. You throw the ball down the alley and it hits the pins between that front, that number one pin, I think it is, and I think the pin nine is number two. If you had it in that sweet spot,
Starting point is 00:34:13 just straight down the line at the exact right speed, they're all gone. See you later. It's a strike. That's what that letter was. Outstanding. Well, I've actually, I have read all the letters. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:34:26 That I have for you. But I would like to say this, Tim. Yeah. To those of you who are in New Zealand, more specifically Wellington or Christchurch, we are coming to you to perform a live podcast before we finally are released from this beast. So if you're interested in that it's happening in wellington on august the 17th thursday at fringe bar at 8 p.m and uh it's happening in christchurch on friday august 18th at the dark room at 7 p.m sharp that one's sharp because we got it there's

We just kind of had like nothing to do for about an hour. We were both like dressed and kind of ready to go,
Starting point is 00:35:45 but it wasn't quite time yet. So we just sat in front of the heater because it was quite a cold night and I just tried to make up one-liners and I was just going for a whole hour and they were on the whole quite rubbish. And Zoe's broke down and basically started crying, telling me to stop at one point.
Starting point is 00:36:01 But probably the closest thing I got to a good joke in there was uh oh actually oh there was a good knock knock one too but i've forgotten it now um but uh the the closest thing i got to a good joke was uh which musician is surprisingly not from australia ozzy osbourne let's i mean it's in there twice yeah it's in his name twice ozzy osbourne uh i did another uh here's a knock knock joke to end the show on that i tried at the classic last week for the first time sort of while i was backstage uh knock knock who's there inequality inequality who you may well ask that but i think the more important question is inequality why how did it go yeah it was all right about as well as that
Starting point is 00:36:55 it did not play that well in the room um right well it's been great though i'm sorry the ghost pissed off so prematurely into the friend zone but i'm delighted that you were here to share this experience with me and i'm delighted to welcome to you guys forthcoming another director's commentary from your friends tim and guy guy oh no no not the final one second to final one yeah no but it still gets pretty hairy yeah it's not great content you guys but it exists and you've just got to view these things with the context of which they were recorded which is guy and i watched the movie four times back to back so you know just bear that mind and if you're um patreon subscriber as well i'm slowly bleeding out the video footage of this because someone was
Starting point is 00:37:43 shocked to find out actually a few people were shocked to find out that we video recorded the whole thing. And I tell you what, they might have been foolhardy, but we've got it. And I'm putting those puppies on for anyone who gives $5 or more on Patreon as a small mea culpa for us dropping the ball so heavily. We're making plans on trying to be better boys with the Patreon effort. And we've also decided we will announce here that all of the june donation money which i don't have the full figure but it's gonna it'll be like 1400 bucks us that's a lot of money it's a lot of money one thousand four hundred dollars us at least probably a little bit north of that will be going to doctors without borders they got the most votes um across the the
