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. With Tim and Guy, come to the friend zone. And have a good time, yes, it's the friend zone. With Tim and Guy, because making love is the only way to make friends. I thought you were doing a vocal warm-up, but that's actually the start of it, isn't it? It sure is. Welcome to the friend zone, everybody. What a wild attitude towards friend-making. Isn't it?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Hey, Guy. We're back in our room again. Yeah, we sure are. Should we start things off by saying thank you to all of our friends who questioned our whereabouts, maybe even safety during our prolonged absence. Yeah. You guys really give a shit about us. And in particular, I'll see if I can get it up right now, but the, said the vicar to the
Starting point is 00:01:03 nun or whatever the hell you say when you're being dirty uh the vicar to a priest is the vicar trying to fuck the priest i don't know man it's uh um there's all sorts of crazy stuff going on in those churches best not to dive into the details what i was trying to allude to was uh the people on the subreddit on the twi you know the letters the subreddit you would think i'd, you know, the subreddit. You would think I'd have it by now, eh? That it'd just roll off the tongue, but I absolutely don't. Where are the boys? writes Smacky Richardson, Reddit user.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Smacky Richardson a day ago. Where are the boys? And the message says, we haven't had an ep in over two weeks. And I'm just going to read the top post here because it's uh quite lengthy go for it here's the correspondence from the online world from charizard underscore all day on reddit so timber and guy fuza were seeking out a proper charitable cause to as promised for the proceeds of the friend zone slash troops fund for the month of june as it
Starting point is 00:02:06 happens i know of a particular orphanage that has recently lost its funding a certain philanthropist of sentimental nature has been keeping in the orphanage afloat with a one-time generous donation of as much money as he was able to stuff into a macbook pro box in retrospect the philanthropist could have donated a more substantial sum if he had bothered to organize and carefully place the money into the box in neat piles, but instead the cash was wadded up and largely torn into shreds, as if to suggest that the act of stuffing those greenbacks into the MacBook Pro box a certain someone got a bit more than frustrated. Regardless of the state of the money and how many hours the orphans put taping the bills back together, money, like time, is fleeting. That's why you gotta live every moment and love every day.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Anyway, the money ran out. So you may be asking, how does this relate to Pop Guy and the Sailor Man and Tim Zemanian Devil? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Well, that is where they come into the picture. I sent them a missive using Snapchat about the orphanage. I was in bed, so I just took a video of my ceiling and wrote across it with massive felt pen.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I ran out of the room pretty fast, so it just said, kid's going to die, but I think it gets the point across. I also don't know Aylod tim or guy far's snapchat contact detail or anything but i bet you they got my messages i just sent them to everyone i know and said send to all your friends in the next 11 minutes or you will kiss a dog on the lips and uh the power of chain letter style viral snapchats is undeniable let's face it nobody wants to kiss a dog not on the lips so clearly they got my letter went down to the orphanage only now i just remembered the
Starting point is 00:03:49 orphanage moved down the street so they're probably wandering around the block trying to find it but the sign isn't up so no doubt they got lost man what a disaster i'm really sorry you guys wow that was um you know With all due respect to its length Vaguely threatening? Uh Not so much threatening as Uh Sort of
Starting point is 00:04:13 Strapped together as a story I don't mean to criticise fan mail That's not fan mail though That was a little story wasn't it? Yeah Yeah I was in and out That's alright
Starting point is 00:04:24 I enjoyed it I enjoyed the ride That's good I hear what you mean. That's all right. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the ride. That's good. I hear what you mean, though. It felt a little taped together. Well, yeah. You know, and all power to you. If we aren't saying anything, it's your right to speculate as to where we are and why we're there.
Starting point is 00:04:38 It's like beat poetry, you know? That's what it is. This guy's creating verbal jazz, except not in verbs, in written down words. Some of them are verbs. Yeah, that's true. You can't build a sentence without a verb, Tim. Can't I? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I've got correspondence backed up from here to Timbuk2 over here on the Facebook page. Well, we're probably not going to clear out the entire backlog here, but if I can make a request, Guy, could you start from the oldest ones that are there? I'm going to start with the only Friendzone post which has been posted on the Facebook page as opposed to a message. Oh, yeah, cool. Nice. I always forget about those ones.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And it's a question from a guy in Christchurch, New Zealand Saying, I'm writing in reference to the Friendzone 46, 26th of May 2017 There was a joke about coming to Christchurch to do a show Can you guys please do this? I'm sure we can fill a room for you lovely lads For a kiss is always a gift Long live Brady the Rat King Long time listener, first time writer
Starting point is 00:05:39 Ben I would fucking love I would love to go to Christchurch to do a show Keen? I'm keen It's just all abouturch to do a show. Keen? I'm keen. It's just all about the finding the when, isn't it? We'll fly down and we'll figure that out.
Starting point is 00:05:51 When could you, oh wait, no, you're going, I don't think this is actually feasible, considering your timeframe. Look, who's to say?
Starting point is 00:05:59 It's on the radar. Let's say that to Ben. Let's say. I don't like that. That's too much of an open book blank check I don't want to get his hopes up If we're not going to do it is what I'm saying What would you rather do?
Starting point is 00:06:12 Would you rather definitively tell Ben to go and fuck himself? If that's what he needs to do I think Ben needs to be given a heads up on that There's lots of equipment and accoutrement to prepare If one is to fuck oneself. No, you can do it with a tub of margarine and a can-do attitude. It's the Kiwi way.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I've seen people masturbate with as little as just a hand. You know what the key is, though? You've got to use your imagination. I don't have fingernails. I'm trying to open this beer. I've got fingernails. Oh, God. I've made fingernails. Oh, God. I've made a mess.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Yeah, you really have. Just a little one. Well, to Ben, look, I mean, I've got no definitive answer for you. I'm interested in trying to make it work, but I'm not going to make everyone sit through the logistics of us figuring out whether or not we can. See, that's why this podcast is so good. You know entertainment. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Keep going. Noted, Ben. You're a legend and I love Christchurch. This is the... Arohanui te Ototahi. Oldest unread message. Dating back to the 7th of June. Good day to you, my most favoured boys.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I recently did the filthy and unforgivable deed of watching We Are Your Friends and goodness me! You fellas weren't understanding just how absolutely awful it is. I've never immediately disliked every primary character in a story until viewing this absolute monstrosity. Anywho, it did get me thinking. What in God's name could the trailer for this absolute lack of content possibly be? Come to find out, you literally get every detail of what the movie entails, minus the bit where Squirrel dies.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I've never been more disheartened about how I'd spent an hour and a half of my life. Did you boys come to the same hypothesis, or am I just an absurd excuse for a film trailer critic? All the love and appreciation imaginable, Zach Coomer. You're not wrong in that the trailer does betray the contents of the film, save for Squirrel's death, which, because you would have known from listening to the podcast,
Starting point is 00:07:56 would have been not the surprise. I still remember being surprised. Not necessarily that they went to the lengths of killing Squirrel, but just that they thought they had the right to do that. They haven't earned it. That's why it was surprising though. It didn't feel like the kind of movie where you kill a character. The moments of gravity I remember from
Starting point is 00:08:13 early screenings were... You were pretty pumped about the boobs from memory. When Squirrel died, what boobs? In the pool. I see some boobies. You don't get to see any boobies. Are you insane? My dude?
Starting point is 00:08:29 No. There's like two pairs of naked human breasts. Those boobs. Wow. That's how little they mean to you at this point. Yeah. That's, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:39 They didn't resonate with me at all. Not in the same way squirrel dying did. That hit me on the first, one of the first watches. Very well, then I'm the arsehole. When Somaly and Zicoli get together, and then Zicoli gets the text from James Reed from the feelers saying, come over, big fight.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I remember when he got that text, and I read it on the phone in the movie the first time. I was like, oh, fuck. My gut's dropped. I was like, oh, this is bad news. We've got different terminology for how that that phrase works yeah that means you shit yourself yeah um but yeah so once those two moments have been taken out of the movie the trailer which is i think true for a lot of modern movie trailers they put the whole fucking thing in there now it's terrible don't
Starting point is 00:09:22 get me started i would love to um for a memory though we didn't watch the trailer of this film until we were pretty deep in it uh we had we had consumed quite a number of watches and then we kind of got bored one day and we were like oh we should see what the trailer is and and yeah absolutely we came to the same conclusion it's a bad trailer but trailers i'll be safe they're like that these that these days that's with the context of having knowing what happens in the film I think as a trailer because when you
Starting point is 00:09:50 watch the movie I always see the trailer in it like it's a snappy trailer it's a much more I mean he's not wrong in that
Starting point is 00:09:57 apart from Skrull dying they get the whole movie across it's a very efficient way of watching We Are Your Friend if you watch the trailer you could absolutely
Starting point is 00:10:04 be forgiven for thinking this is a fucking rollickingly great time that you're in for yeah or it's a good pumping soundtrack that i'm sure they probably i can't remember the trailer but i'm sure they sample a lot of different you know songs that they got the rights for in there is most that all the director camera references they use those they use uh we are your friends obviously the line where they say this is going to be the best night of your life they use that we don't talk about
Starting point is 00:10:27 you know what this friend zone is getting a little bit worst idea-y for me so I'm going to pull back and open some more correspondence if I may
Starting point is 00:10:36 um ooh okay once again you've got to stop me if it sounds familiar oh holy fuck this one's so long
Starting point is 00:10:45 I don't know about all this Oh we have read that one That was the one where he made a typo And then sent us a redacted kind of version Or a redone version Aaron sent us 20 stone cold US Dalai Lama Which
Starting point is 00:11:03 Aren't for us this month. That's right. But they're for someone. Someone juicy. Someone cool. Hello from New Hampshire, USA. Which you know so much about already. I found TWIOAT through deathblart.
Starting point is 00:11:15 And I'm so glad I did. Your dedication to mindfully tackling such a mindless task is truly inspirational. I hope for great things for you both. What a sweet chinese uh fortune cookie style message for us yeah you know i hope for great things for you both but a fortune cookie doesn't usually communicate positive sentiment does it sometimes it does but it's more direct and it's more philosophical than happy isn't it it's like uh life's what you make of it did it used to be a trope of stand-up that
Starting point is 00:11:45 people would do jokes about uh fortune cookies they got i know you can just make up anything that you read inside of that so i had a you cooking up a sweet premise over there absolutely no i'm not going to use it i tell you what i got some belters uh i'm doing a gig tonight i'm very excited it's a real oh yeah some real hot juicy stuff so if you're uh if you're at the classic tonight you uh look it doesn't work the timeline won't work no it certainly doesn't here's one also from the 7th of june hello there's more hi uh i've been loving the podcast since i discovered it by chance in january been catching up ever since and I'm nearly up to date. I'm heading up to the Edinburgh Fringe tonight. Tonight?
Starting point is 00:12:28 What in fuck's name? This message is from 2016. How does that get in the mixer? I don't know. That's crazy. What's happened? Facebook organises the messages chronologically. Except that one.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yeah. Hey, we'll read it anyway. Look, he's gone to all the trouble of time travelling his message through Facebook Messenger. Read out what he's got to say. He's going to the Edinburgh Fringe. Oh, how's your August? I just want to check I haven't missed an announcement that one or both of you will be doing stand-up or anything there this year. Which is last year.
Starting point is 00:13:01 What a hilarious time to be asking the question. I'd go to Connecticut and throw myself off suicide 35 if I missed the chance to see one of you live and in person. I'm definitely going to see Rosemary Fobos entirely off her guest prints on the show, however, so there's still that. Well, it's a great opportunity to say neither of us will be at the Fringe this year either,
Starting point is 00:13:15 but Rose is going back with her award-winning show, Sassy Best Friend. I've seen it twice. Both debuts. You'd be a fool to miss it. So it's debut night in Melbourne and then I went to it's debut night in Auckland and I tell you what
Starting point is 00:13:28 the show just gets better and better crazy how that works can I just put a quick plug in as well for Bonus of the Heart I was talking to my mum recently she went on a trip to Europe you wanna know who with?
Starting point is 00:13:41 my dad and they were rocking around and my mum has discovered podcasts. And she was telling me how much she was enjoying Boners of the Heart. Not us. Boners of the Heart. Boners of the Heart. She said, I've never laughed so hard without anyone knowing why.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Oh, wow. That is exactly what podcasting provides. It is. That's the moment that prompts a lot of people to write in and be like, you made me look insane in this place. Absolutely. And your mum is reckoning with that, thanks to Boners of the Heart. Do you ever have a podcast moment like that?
Starting point is 00:14:16 Walking around, listening to something? I've had a few. What show do you have a consistent one that cracks you up? Whenever Andy Daly's on Comedy Bang Bang, there'll usually be some disgusting thing he says or does which just destroys me the main example I remember of it though it wasn't even podcasting
Starting point is 00:14:33 it's my favourite and maybe some or one of yours, Peter Cook it was a sketch with him and Dudley Moore that I read, I remember I'd just moved to Auckland I was reading the Peter Cook anthology or like a compilation of most of his sketches on a bus and it's a sketch about teaching ravens to fly underwater if you look up peter cook and dudley moore ravens underwater you can watch a film version of the sketch but i read it and i was sitting next to uh a pretty girl on the bus
Starting point is 00:14:58 and i was like you know when you're on a bus and you're young and you think oh wow who knows maybe i'll talk to her and we'll get along but i read this and just like tried to hold in the laughter so started sort of doing that shaking vibrating thing and then couldn't contain it and just exploded um instead of in hindsight what you do is go oh sorry i'm reading a funny book I was like Sorry And just moved That's infinitely creepier Yeah It makes me feel like You were trying to Hold in a fart
Starting point is 00:15:30 And then something Went horribly wrong And then you had to Apologize and When's the last time You exploded in laughter In a public space I can't think of
Starting point is 00:15:39 A specific example But it's almost always My brother My brother and me I've got the headphones on Listening to that Does anything Horn you up more than Just just having a huge laugh?
Starting point is 00:15:48 Nah, man. Fuck, that's the dream. It's the absolute best. It's the most you can hope for in life. You know? Here's another message. This comes to us from Mark. Wow, I can't even read a four-letter monosyllabic Anglo-Saxon name anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:04 He's given us $47, which, once again, thank you so much. And also, it isn't going to us this month. It's going to a charity, TBC. Charity. From Mark from Toronto. Dear Notorious, B.I.G. and Tim Pack. Now, that is good. That is good.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Oh, I fucked up your one, though. Sorry. Did I say G-U-Y? I didn't, eh? No. That is good. Oh, I fucked up your one though. Sorry. Did I say G-U-Y? I didn't, eh? No. I read it. I saw the structure of Notorious and then three letters with dots
Starting point is 00:16:32 and I just couldn't read it right. Instinct kicked in. Just quickly actually, that reminds me, very old video from years and years ago. My friend Buster Ryder and I once drove to Dunedin. I was promoting wine in supermarkets that weekend. Let's not get into it.
Starting point is 00:16:45 No, we won't. We stayed at a friend's place, like a bunch of friends who'd abandoned their flat for summer. Well, not abandoned, but left it. So they told us how to get in, and we stayed in there and got very stoned. There was a room with nothing to do. Oh, my.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Drugs. Yeah. Buster, good old Buster Ryder, filmed me just being very, by myself, just moving my head around and uploaded it to YouTube with the exact heading Notorious GUI Hey there we go, you've really
Starting point is 00:17:12 struck on something Mark Mark Wright 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
Starting point is 00:17:28 Borderlands, now playing I first heard of your potty about 18 months ago while I was catching up on How Did This Get Made I was immediately hooked on your descent into madness and quickly binged through everything you had to offer and caught up right to the end of season 2 I'm going to press pause on the message. That's adorable. Yeah, I'm into that. I love this message. That's adorable. Yeah, I'm into that. I love this message. It's hard to believe the ride is nearly over.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I figured out... Oh, sorry. I figured now was a good time, as good a time as any, to reach out to you, given what had happened to me last weekend. While I was hopping into an Uber to meet the local fuckboys at the pub, I quickly realized I had an internal bond with the driver. It's despite the volume being down in the car friend zone 46 was emblazoned on the center screen showing that this driver was
Starting point is 00:18:33 indeed a good boy we got talking about the show and after a rousing chorus of patty schwartz party time i now have a direct line to a driver and friend that will definitely pay off in the long run for me. Not only that, but after a night of getting blackout drunk despite not bringing a bank card or anything else of value, I somehow awoke with $62 more than when I left the house with. I'm taking both
Starting point is 00:18:58 of these events as a sign from the almighty Rat King that it's time to hashtag pay those boys. I'm sending you $62 Canadian dollars, which equates to roughly 47 US or 0.94 Patrick Kings. Keep up the good work, and even if it's the worst day, oh, and even if the worst idea is nearly over, I hope you two continue podcasting about anything for years to come,
Starting point is 00:19:19 as this local listener will follow you there. Mark from Toronto, PS of season one, could be summed up by live every moment Love every day in season 3 Mouth full of concrete dick full of diamonds What tagline should be used to remember Carrie and the girls That is a Fantastic message
Starting point is 00:19:36 That Sorry I've got a dodgy cable I mean it's your mic I touched the cable Everyone enjoy that it was loud in our touched the cable bad equipment did everyone enjoy that it was loud in our heads I bet I'll forget to edit that out too
Starting point is 00:19:48 why would you people deserve to experience life as it's lived by us that's what the podcast is that's what the friendzone is I loved that message yeah it was so beautiful it's like the podcast is acting
Starting point is 00:20:01 as Pokemon Go and bringing strangers together it is a bit like that. What would the season two catchphrase be? I don't know. Do we attribute a slogan or similar to Dick Bot? No, it's all Hail Brady. It's probably the most recurring line. I'd say all Hail Brady is the mantra of season two.
Starting point is 00:20:27 That's so fucking awesome though. I'm so happy that you and a random stranger, an Uber driver no less, managed to bond over our silly little project. That warms the cockles of this young boy's heart. That's great. I've got a big one. Hello boys.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I had a quick note for you from this week's friend zone number 47 regarding the phrase asked and answered asked and answered is a legal phrase it is used in objection
Starting point is 00:20:54 to a question directed to a witness if the opposing attorney feels that the question has already been asked perhaps the questioning attorney has simply rephrased an earlier question
Starting point is 00:21:01 to make it seem new they will lodge this objection that's awesome. Yeah, that is awesome. Because often, you know, someone might have trained for one answer, but if they present the question a different way, you'll bleed out new information. Objection, Your Honour. Asked and answered.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I am a legal videographer. I want to see where this goes. That's every judge. Objection overruled. I want to see this one out. Every judge in a movie and a TV show is curious to see where this one goes. Because all TV and movie shows are improvised, and to say sustained would be blocking. I'm a legal videographer by trade, and this objection occurs frequently,
Starting point is 00:21:36 especially during long depositions. Attorneys will often try to ask the same thing to a witness, but in a different way over the length of a deposition to try and get a different answer. Opposing attorneys will object to it, and will have someone follow that objection up with asked and answered as a clarification of why they're objecting to the question hope it clears up a bit for you uh a bit gregory try completely fucking answers the question dude you can say my name which i already have
Starting point is 00:21:56 also if i may selfishly plug my youtube channel two two chairs two bears i'd like to do so now it's a sketch duo featuring myself and mark bissey here's the link to our page and guy here's the link to a series we did during the american football season called the football zone i Not too busy to tweet though. Oh no. exorbitantly expensive posters. I was only briefly overwhelmed with the sense of mind and I want to do you gentlemen when I repeatedly ignore my attempts to share my own passion for football with them. Oh no. Gregory, it's never my intention to be rude.
Starting point is 00:22:31 It can be overwhelming after a show sometimes to try and say hello to everyone. So I apologize if I blew you off. I would like to talk football. Do you know what probably happened? If ever you have a shit show,
Starting point is 00:22:43 you want to bail out. We had a great time. Oh, fucking bail out we had a great time oh fucking hell we had a great time in uh new york though oh yeah that's true turned it out we turned it on i thought we oh i was hoping we kind of in all seriousness we travel so far when i'm going to ride rough shot over what you're saying for a moment we travel so far to go to america that we we i'm sorry if we missed you is what i'm trying to convey i really yeah i'm sorry so am i and all seriousness love you boys we'll follow you on to your next project for sure do i love new zealand comics you make funny podcasts about watching a movie repeatedly
Starting point is 00:23:13 asked and answered ha lovely gregory you got a real sense for um closure gregory's uh show two cheers two beers has its own imdb page I can tell you that it came out in 2014. It has one season and there were 20 episodes. And an estimated budget on here is listed at $3,000. Hot stuff, fellas. Oh, there he is. That looks pretty profesh, doesn't it? This is the Football Zone, week two.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Packers versus Vikings. Nine months old. Do we reckon that's Gregory? Hard to say. He doesn't have a super coming up telling us who's talking That guy looks more familiar to me I'm talking to the mic so we can all hear you The second guy
Starting point is 00:23:51 Oh really? The brunette over blonde, I think the brunette is Gregory You don't say brunette when you're talking about dudes so much do you? I didn't really think about it, I guess not What difference does it make? I have no idea But it's just a curiosity Brunette is sexier than brown
Starting point is 00:24:09 Which is probably why Brunette is associated with A woman's hair Brown Yeah Check out that brunette fella over there Wouldn't mind rubbing him down in an ice bath I would actually
Starting point is 00:24:21 It would be cold Also can I say this Just as a small talk I apologise to everyone And the fourth It's barely your fault It's bad equipment I should throw that cable out
Starting point is 00:24:37 I'd like to do a little talk Yeah I agree A little break in the middle Just to say thank you to Friend and family member Annie Montgomery Fan of the podcast This morning She just sent me a text
Starting point is 00:24:46 7.30am, back door. I go out to my back door, there's some mail that had been sent to mum and dad's house, which she'd picked up from them, a sweater of mine, which she'd obviously been borrowing, and this tub full of delicious cookies. You've got to try one of these cookies. The laptop
Starting point is 00:25:01 is closed, the cookies are out. Here we go. And can I just say, the most delicious You've got to try one of these cookies. The laptop is closed. The cookies are out. Here we go. Timbo's going in. And can I just say, they're the most delicious chocolatey brown you've seen. That's right. And there's a lovely soft sort of chewy quality to them. Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:25:16 How good is that biscuit? It's so yummy. While you enjoy that biscuit, Tim, I'll read another message because I know that you are a man of the radio world and you are not a fan of eating on mic. You got it. Dearest Tim Bibbly Bimbop Bidoo Bizzawap Bilababimangbap and Guy. Ha ha.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I'll get the second one. I'll get the last one right this time. Bizzapawalabimbangbap and Guy. Just wanted to get in touch one last time before it all ends in a few eps. Not anymore. Yeah, look, that's still up for debate debate tim uh you boys have had a hell of a run should be proud of yourselves and you've set foot on and thoroughly sullied ground that none of the fuck boys have set foot on before wanted to bring it full circle with one last
Starting point is 00:25:55 fan theory you two met on the review and are now ending everything with your speculations as to what went down in that little loo that johnny depp inhabits weekly seems to say eventually everything comes full circle time is a closed poop i'll tell you what just saying harry i um i really shouldn't eat on a microphone i uh have inherited a uh television show recently the state broadcaster has decided that i should be hosting something so i'm doing a little kind of newsy chat show thing on a... Give it a plug. Small little channel.
Starting point is 00:26:27 It's called Banter. I didn't come up with the name because the name is stupid and I hate it. I actually tried to get them to change it. And then they told me not to tell anyone that. But this is my podcast. You hear me? Anyway, I wanted to start every episode before the intro plays with a cold open of me reading the paper in a full suit on the toilet.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Both because I'm a big fan of mixing high and lowbrow comedy together. So I'd make like a bit of a, you know, play on what's happening in the news that day. But also it's funny because I'm on a toilet. You get it? Yeah. So it's like a juxtaposition guy. yeah so it's like a juxtaposition guy and also even more overriding than that is just that it would be a lovely little shout out to um the people familiar with my previous career as a toilet reviewer well they've uh homage they've missed a trick there at banter yeah they they
Starting point is 00:27:19 said i they basically said i wasn't allowed to do it i get fought on every idea i have there probably because they're still uh tvNZ are still licking their wounds after cancelling the best thing that ever happened to them. I just keep banging that cord. I just keep banging it. I can't help myself. You're talking about TVNZU, the channel that you used to have a show on,
Starting point is 00:27:39 that I used to review Lose on, and then they pulled the plug. But do you know what? Do you know what, guy? We need to stop being bitter about it because better to have loved and lost than never loved at all if that channel hadn't have existed this podcast wouldn't have happened would it that's true i'd never thought of that before neither had i but you know have you seen a little known movie called the butterfly doors it's about uh things that moments in our lives that happen and how things would be different if they happened differently
Starting point is 00:28:06 or if something else happened. I have seen that movie. Jennifer Love Hewitt is in it. Yeah. And she keeps putting butterflies in doors and shutting them. It's disgusting. It's sort of... She's killing the most beautiful creature we have.

Even more, I finished working on it while listening to the solo drunk episode featuring a beautifully inebriated tim and his instructions to drink a beer of beer which again only contributed to the booze infused ambience don't worry it only took one glass of wine to make the portrait the rest was shared amongst me and my friends for the past year or so i've pretty much exclusively listened
Starting point is 00:29:00 to your show while working on my wine stain artwork and custom art for skateboards in my effort to follow my bliss and be self-employed i chuck money your way but i think you can probably guess my excuses why i haven't instead my artwork is my humble offering of my profound appreciation for the work you do live every moment love every day always truly say my name amelia harness and uh there's an amazing amelia harness that is staggeringly beautiful And it's our James It's New Zealand's James Red from the feelers From wine no less That is really beautiful
