The Worst Idea Of All Time - Friendzone Seventy One

Episode Date: July 8, 2018

Good whatever to you, it's the boiz! Here they come, with a pocket full of dreams and a breifcase full of mergers. In this 'zone we hear from the best new podcast out there involving dinosaurs, a great critical take down of WAYF and the horror of admitting out loud that you're in an improv troupe.Over Looked and Undercooked can be found here on iTunes and here on the web. 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, because making friends is the best idea of all time. Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. Potentially good night, if you're listening to this to help you go to sleep. My name is Guy Montgomery. I'm joined by the devilish gentleman known as Tim Batt. How are you, Tim? I was wondering how you were going to fit handsome into just devilish. Because you said devilish and then you jumped on to the next word.

And I was like, oh, I forgot the devilishly. I can't even remember what I said, to be honest. I was panicking. So I'm glad I almost got away with it. But something that the good podcast folks won't have heard is immediately before you started, you said, here I come. Which I think is a great way

to just kick off a conversation with someone and let them know that uh things are going to happen eventually like walking into a boardroom high power business meeting you've got some merger that's impending and you're dealing with someone who's really got your balls in a vice like they're going to buy the company from out under you you walk in with a briefcase and as you enter the door you say here i come and slam the briefcase on the table it's quite ominous it feels like something a shark might say moments before they in the knowledge that there's no possibility for you to get away moments before they uh bite into a tasty leg i always imagine

from the legs up yeah i think that's how they've been depicted in popular art that's just uh um that's big tuna brainwashing you though have i spoken with you about the movie deep blue sea recently we did oh yeah i think that was us talking about it yeah i think i got the wrong actor um mistaken for who gets eaten and one of them i think was what was it i thought it was you thought you got the the uh you got they both happen to be african-american so it really painted me as a racist but in the interest of um transparency i'm bringing that secret convo to the potty yeah yeah and just so everyone knows the two people tim got confused who to be fair look virtually identical was ll cool jay and samuel l jackson couldn't be further apart but i was also

i was also i think i had it confused with the movie h2o in which i'm quite confident ll cool Confident LL Cool J does get killed very early. Admittedly, Mike Myers is not a shark. H2O. I've looked it up. All I can find is an Indian bilingual film. But anyway. Halloween. Halloween 20 years.

You look this up. Halloween H2O. Because if LL Cool J is not in that movie, then I'm really in up shit creek without a paddle well i tell you this whole bit he's certainly not involved in uh h2o uh is an indian bilingual film directed by debutants l lochanath and rajaram the film was produced by dan raj under dan raj films uh and a budget of 70 million rupees good for them uh what i was going to say though is samuel jackson is fuck on man we're not going to move on before we find out if ll could he is he's halloween h2o i needed to oh yeah yeah yeah and does he he dies in early in grizzly death in that

movie from my uh you know assuredly patchy memory. Yeah. Well, Samuel L. Jackson dies. What I have since discovered, and rightly so, is quite an iconic death of the 2000s. And in it, he finishes delivering a very Samuel L. Jackson-esque sort of inspirational or rousing speech, depending on circumstance. And right as he finishes it, sort of jeeing everyone up to be like, all right, here we go.

We're going to fucking saw this out and not let these sharks get us. What do you think happens to the guy? But a big old juicy mama shark comes right from behind him. And rather than going legs up, just full on, straight down the middle, chomps him. Does the shark deliver the line, here I come? No, but I certainly, it's easy to imagine, isn't it? It really is.

The sharks, while becoming increasingly and rapidly intelligent throughout the film, do not master the English language. That sucks. I want a talking shark movie, man. It's great to be here. Tim, how are you? I'm really good. I just went for a run and I've got a coffee in front of me, so things are looking up. It's a very beautiful day here in Auckland, New Zealand.

It's been all over the place because it's winter. I've always struggled with the seasons, but we're in winter at the moment and it's been bloody cold and frosty. But today's just a stunner. I've always struggled with the seasons, yet they persist. They don't really care for what we think of them, do they, Tim? They just keep on rolling, baby. Every once, four times a year, they say, here I come and burst through the door. How are you going, Guy? Yeah, good, thank you. It's sweltering here in New York City, as it is every day as it turns out.

The summer here is not to be trifled with. What's the temp? And give it to me in C because I'm not an animal. Well, we've been pushing. Fuck, I only remember it in i'm trying to consciously i'm consciously trying to learn it i think once i know fahrenheit i'll be a fully pasteurized american citizen we're talking 84 f which means that we're talking like 33 ish pretty close 29 but the summer rolls on and frankly I love it

good shit it's very good shit so I have a distracting house guest I see for which I must apologise tell them to sod off this is the friend zone

and while all are welcome, we must respect the rules of the game. Yeah, while all are welcome, not house guests. Friends only. So would you like me to read you this great message? Please. It reads as follows.

Dearest Gymothy Batgomery, champions of laughter and tons of endurance. We've been reduced to one man here, Tim, which I quite like. I'm into it. Very Dragon Ball Z. You have brought me such joy as I slogged. Already the sentence is hilarious. You've brought me such joy as I slogged through the Bat Catalog.

I mean, you're talking about a gun to your head, mate. Giving with one hand and taking from the other. And I'm glad I have a chance to hashtag pay the boys. Thank you so much for the sacrifice. I was introduced to you through Death Blart. And boy, was I surprised to hear a couple good, good Kiwi boys with those good, good Mackle boys. Fuck, that's nice.

I've never heard Mackle boys before. That's really good. Yeah, wait till word travels to the Mackle boys. They're going to love that. Thank you for showing me that Kiwis can fight the good fight in the podcast scene, inspiring me to try podcasting myself. I don't want to use this space to self-promote because this is a gift much as it kisses but if either of you uh two fine lasseters feel like talking shit about dinosaurs feel free

to hit me up fuck man if this podcast is what it immediately came to my head i'm in because what's immediately in my head is simply a show where you invite people from all walks of life to just talk about how they feel about dinosaurs. Yeah, I mean, it's a heck of a pitch. And for what it's worth, in the little sidebar underneath the author of this message, Stefan, it says works at talking with dinosaurs. And if I click that link, what we appear to have here, Tim, is exactly the podcast you've described. Does it have a bio at all? Stefan's done such a lovely job of not promoting his podcast.

I'll read the bio for you. You like dinosaurs. I like dinosaurs. Listen to me talk about dinosaurs. Fuck you, Stefan. You're doing it. This is what podcasting is supposed to be about Everyone thinks you've got to be

Some highfalutin university professor Or captain of industry No We all love dinosaurs And I want to hear someone with passion in their heart Speak about it It's time Damn media gatekeepers

Have been stopping us from having shows about random people talking about dinosaurs for too long. It's a hell of an elevator pitch, isn't it? I mean, you could say that to literally any person in any situation, and they know exactly what you're setting up for. Yeah.

I will subscribe to that. You could be eulogizing at a funeral and open with here i come you like dinosaurs i like dinosaurs listen to me talk about dinosaurs a podcast described by someone named benjamin embers as irreverently informative eloquently foul-mouthed 10 out of 10 um is it talking with dinosaurs is that what it's called talking with dinosaurs yeah find them okay so like walking with dinosaurs i get it i don't often do this but i am literally subscribing as we are talking the art is very good there is what looks to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex with very cool headphones on, angrily. What do they do? Roaring into one of those old school Elvis microphones.

Look, everything I've heard so far is good. Yeah, it is good. Assuming you're not a paleontologist, just an amateur dinosaur fan, I'm fully on board. So you'll be pleased to hear that we have an outstanding invitation to appear on this podcast. I don't think it could be any clearer

how in at least I am. I would tend to say, both of us. I'm right there with you. Anyway, Don't anyway just yet. There's 18 episodes of this. Seems to follow a format where it's a different dinosaur. I was reading the paragraph. That's 18 episodes of this seems to follow a format I was reading the paragraph

that's the beginning of the last paragraph no not at all a very easy misunderstanding anyway I'll let you get back to it if this somehow ends up on a friend zone scream my name as you would your arch nemesis's when you discover

they have killed oh no not killed kidnapped your family Stefan Aito that's how I'd say it Oh, no, not killed. Kidnapped your family. Stefan Aito? That's how I'd say it. Very confused. Yeah, I mean, while I respect and am fearful of my arch nemesis,

I would never imagine them to go so far as to kidnap my family. So that's why I sort of read it with an element of surprise. You'd be like, the guy who hosts Talking With Dinosaurs Killed my family? Stefan? Well, here I come I'm gonna kill ya I thought I could trust that guy Thank you so much for your message Stefan

And yeah As advertised through laughter At your various materials It sounds like Talking With Din dinosaurs is well worth a listen. Maybe if Stefan's unattached, I'd love to get him on Little Empire, actually. That's just, I don't even need to hear the thing. That's just too good.

Let me support your art in whatever way that I can and lend my resources to you stefan hey guy let's take a quick pause in uh the fan mail section which usually comprises 100% of what the friend zone is because we haven't talked in any length about our um our brand new series which we just sort of dumped on the internet um and figured out uh or just figured some people would would sort of find it um and some people won't have it's called overlooked and undercooked did i get the order right i think so who's to say and uh it's it's a critical analysis of rob schneider's attempt to shake up the television industry uh vis-a-vis guy and i

and a selection of comedian friends of ours from around the world watching episode by episode Rob Schneider's self-funded, directed, written, and starring series Real Rob, which you can watch on Netflix unless it's banned in your particular country, which I could completely sympathise with the authorities with if they've made that decision. And look, it's it's a really good time and in fact what i'm going to do is put in the stream uh guy i haven't told you

this yet so let's talk this out i want to put one episode on the worst idea stream to get people real juiced up for it but it feels unfair to one person to like do it so i thought i'd just use like a random number generator or something to pick an app it's a great idea i mean i haven't i haven't listened back to any of it but from memory they were all perfect so i mean you can't really put a foot wrong here tim very good uh i i would say this i think the first episode is the weakest uh the one that's just guy and i but um persist with it folks get through that first step and you're in for a real treat maybe it's just because i'm sick of us though you know also we were probably figuring out how the heck to talk about what we've just seen uh because that is truly one of the most unique and abhorrent television shows

i've come across in my young life uh she's no good yeah please please check it out i'm actually just looking at some of the photos now there's some great uh photos of us with the guests. I particularly enjoy the one of us with our dear friend Rose Matafayo. Yeah. It's sort of a habit I've tried to pick up recently of standing slightly too far in the background of photos. It is sensationally menacing. And if I had sort of cottoned on to what you were doing i probably would have stuck my oar in the in the water and tried to orchestrate it a bit so you got further

away as the episodes went on but i didn't i didn't realize you were doing it no i don't think either of us did at the time very funny stuff but yeah please please by all means have a have a listen to that uh and tim, just any number will do. Between two and eight. It sounds like one's a real fucking stinker. Well, do you want to pick one now? Just pick a number? Do you know who's associated with what number?

No, no, no. Six. Done. Episode six. I'm going to write that down because I'll forget. Episode six. Wonderful. Thank you, guys.

And it's, you know, go and go and watch it guys we hope to do a second season of that because there's two seasons of real rob but we're just not sure it's it's the kind of show that you want to do um in person so the next time guy and i are together and it fills my heart with dread to say that i don't know when that will be uh sometime it'll it'll be you know there's always it always happens in spite of ourselves we just can't stop running into each other yeah hey you beautiful boys i had the absolute honor and pleasure of seeing the indomitable am i saying that word correctly guy indomitable indomitable yeah that's how i say it indomitable i think it's for like indomitable no indomitable. Yeah, that's how I say it. Indomitable. I think it's for like indomitable. No, indomitable.

You smashed it. Indomitable. Comedic tour de force. That is Guy Montgomery, my beloved city of Toronto last week. This was sent on June 20. His set at Comedy Bar was terrifically funny, but his kind words and willingness to hang out afterwards with me and some random Aussie was beyond compare.

I was high as a kite and probably laid on the fanboy vibe pretty hard but he was charming throughout i'm stoked to see him in jfl in the fall tim you seem okay my oldest friend is called tim also so there's that you boys are good boys thanks for all the fun times say my name that's from chris schreier and as much as i respect praise personally directed it myself i enjoy comedy even more chris schreier and as much as i respect praise personally directed it myself i enjoy comedy even more chris so hats off to you and hats off to mr montgomery for giving chris a great evening yeah i really i really showed him a good time we uh went out and really tore toronto a new one chris as i remember uh that evening had come into quite a substantial amount of black tar heroin.

And he seemed pretty insistent that he didn't want to be taking that into the next day. So him and I wound up really tying one on. So a huge shout out to you, Chris. I mean, don't underplay your part of the evening. I also like to say you know traditionally i wouldn't talk to someone who's in a blood-stained linen suit and who's sweating quite as much as chris was but i'm glad i took that chance i think the person you ran into is former toronto mayor rob ford guy by the sounds of it because i don't think it was chris at all so you'd think uh

rob ford though is uh do you know this he's he's the late rob ford he died a little while ago oh yeah i forgot he died that's he was he what yeah i mean it people oh he was a pretty weird guy yeah but as far as i could tell he wasn't was he he wasn't causing a lot of harm to others, was he? Mainly just himself? Or have I forgotten details of that story? Some details. I don't know. I don't remember enough to be able to speak specifically to how bad he was as a mayor. But rest assured, the man was not well liked by some and beloved by others, as most politicians are. I'm utterly convinced that you can do a really good job

at your job on class a drugs not all the time but i'm just saying it's possible so i certainly wouldn't recommend i think i think both some of the time tim and i also think some jobs i don't think i think mayor is a good candidate for the job that you can pull off on drugs. You've got to be so up your own arsehole to think you'll be a mayor. Like, hey, I'm in charge of the whole city. I'm going to do a really great job by you guys. It's like, no person could possibly be a good mayor. Maybe I've misunderstood what being mayor is. Do you think prime ministers and presidents respect mayors?

Or they're like cop out? Yeah, they fucking do not at all. And they should. Mayors, I think, in some ways have a way harder job. It feels like they're more accountable. Yeah. It's the same way that real cops look at mall cops. The amount of disdain is palpable.

Mayors are the mall cops of politics as me as are the mall cops of politics me as are the mall cops of cities uh i got i got one here dear tumbly bumbly first off like the whole hardly second any of the following statements said in the past one how absolutely wonderful you both are

two how much easier it is to get through a tough time by listening to the podcast three you are my shining light aww the last three weeks

have been a hell of a time working 10 to 12 hour days doing manual tasks alone in a house I won't get into details but the kind of conditions I'm talking about All I can say... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Hit pause. Tote lids as a table? I don't quite know that turn of phrase.

What does that mean? I won't get into details, but the kind of conditions I'm talking about is being given an upside down bucket to sit on that I can wrap my head around. I've got that. Tote lids as a table. I'm going to Google the whole sentence.

Thank you. And tote, T-O-T-E? Yeah. Okay. I mean... Is this a sex act that we're unfamiliar with or Do you know There's a chance

That the word as was meant to be At So maybe They were sitting at some sort of makeshift desk And Tote Lids Anyway you've certainly scrambled our brains but i'll continue the lid of a tote okay hold on what's a tote as far as i know it's a bag how do you turn that

into a table it doesn't have a lid fuck this is a riddle i I love it. Sorry, keep going. To tote is a verb. To carry, wield, or convey something heavy or substantial. Here are books well worth toting home. As an example sentence. So maybe this person's legs are the table. So they are acting as a table on top of buckets? Look, I mean, for how well written the email is we are really scrambling i can't wait to the second half yeah all i can say is if it was not for your laughter i would have absolutely lost my mind therefore i can generally well yeah of

course you would because you didn't know what the fuck you were doing. I think one of us already has. Therefore, I can genuinely thank you for making me a better human being. On a side note, I did notice that the voice in my head, which had once been an arbitrarily self-reflected version of my own voice, arbitrarily, I think, is a very funny way to describe it in a monologue. I mean, it would be incredible I guess that's what we're about to find out uh has now changed and it's being narrated by the two of you whether this is a good or bad sign only time will tell it certainly uh suggests quite a substantial amount of time spent consecutively listening to the podcast uh my origin story with

the potty is a complicated is complicated and messy i somehow started on the final episode of season three and worked my way backwards until i reached the director's commentary and decided to go to the start of season two i'm now in episode seven ish of season three being that i spoiled the mystery of how well you two hold up by the end has made me realize some hard truths or opinions let's not confuse the two. There's a type of magic out there. When something is so bad, it ends up being good. This is where you went wrong with picking We Are Your Friends.

But good on you for keeping your word. I have not seen it, but I imagine that unlike how absolutely ludicrous the first two movies were, the third fell a little flat because it lacked this magic. When making anything artistic, they say you should know your audience. Apparently, the big brass ball executives that funded this movie forgot a very key element about who they were marketing to. If they were banking on true fans of electronic music, then they'd not get the memo about how it started from counterculture

of going against what was popular. There is a reason the fans hide in dark basements and abandoned warehouses to enjoy underground music. It was not the cool kids going to these events. It was the weirdos. As a fan of underground music, when I saw the trailer, I made a little sound of disgust and vowed not to watch it. So that leaves the weight of the movie's success on the one-time festigoers,

which FacePaint and Glowsticks doth not make a true fan of electronic music. As you call them, the gyrating 20-something-year-olds do not go home and study to liquid drum and bass. So Coley was obviously used as bait for these gyrating 20-somethings but in that case they should have gone full-on feel-good movie. Instead, they tried to give it grit by making it a drama and that does not compute with the emotional range of this particular audience.

The last point I'd like to make is that this movie is a product of our society's understanding of what it takes to go straight to the top. With shows like American Idol, it is advertised to people everywhere that there's no need to put in years and years of hard work and dedication to earn your place for fame. It just takes five minutes and one act and bam, straight to the top. Truly the American dream. Now we can all just sit by the pool while the money comes rushing in.

On a side note, the amount of times you reference Rick and Morty tells me you're extra good boys, the best boys. Thank you so much for everything you two are. To honour the invaluable amount of friendship and funny times you've sacrificially provided for me and so many others, I'll be sending you a healthy donation it will be under a different name because that's just how i roll wow all the best sky ps if you're ever around washington state there's a show that play three nights and ends in my end of town of bellingham uh wa i don't know what oh washington bellingham, WA. I don't know what, oh, Washington,

Bellingham, Washington, called The Gateway Show. Four comedians do two 15-minute sets, one sober, one higher on cannabis than you can call comfortable. It may be small dice for you, but if you do manage to make it, I would be there in a second.

I tend to mirror the comedian's requirements so I can be in their shoes. It's a great time. Would love to see you perform live. And that is from Sky. So thank you so much, Sky, for that lengthy message and disassembly of We Are Your Friends.

What did you think about that take, Tim? Tremendous and accurate. It actually reminded me of, I'm not averse to a bit of edm and thinking back to where that sort of started for me the origin story was actually uh well like all music when you've got an older brother it came to me looking to my eldest brother dave and i was like what's cool whatever he's listening to probably when i was a youngin and he was right into the uh you know this was the mid 90s the chemical brothers and prodigy and other assorted electronica acts

and we got a uh playstation one game called wipe out 2097 which was incredibly formative i think to my musical taste and then i i got super niche and started listening to um like 8-bit music that people were making on hacked game boys throughout high school yeah you love music i do all of this to say um you're completely right that i think that the true fans of uh electronic music at its core they they are not cool people uh i'm living proof so i think that's a very astute observation and you're right they could they could have just made we are your friends a bit of fun a bit of light fun but they went for depth and i don't think they quite um pulled that off so that's very astute let's try what else did sky say in the oh i just wanted to say as well it you you did

right we're a big rick and morty fans but being a rick and morty fan is kind of like being in an improv troupe it's like it's fun to be a part of but god you don't want to tell anyone it's such such an embarrassing thing to uh admit to out loud it's i'm not part of a improv comedy troupe but guy is and every time he voices it it stinks my ears even though they do amazing work. Your estimation is correct. It is truly one of the most humiliating sentences one can utter. Here in New York City, I have the honor of saying I'm studying improv. That's not an honor at all, though.

That's right. So I can actually tell you I have since discovered that there is a worse sentence to say than I'm in an improv troupe, which is that I'm learning, you know, formally learning how to do improv comedy. I'm sorry. I am laughing at you, not with you on that one. Let's dive into another letter, shall we? And Sky, thank you so much.

I love the move of throwing a healthy donation through under a different name just to fucking, just to bloody tussle our hair a little bit. That's good. Also, it could be the greatest lie ever told. That's so true, which I respect the hell out of, if true. I've got a message here from Brody. Would you like to hear it?

Excuse me. Guy? Was that the message? It was not. Please read prior to friendzone ding if i'm worthy oh crap have you got a message you can read while i read this and i'll read both at the same time because there are instructions in the subject line to um pre-read this one which i never do jesus christ you've really got to earn the right to say this stuff out loud uh i do have a message here it's more it's more a sort of throwaway observation but i quite like it uh did you boys know that rob schneider played a palestinian taxi driver and

would be terrorists in 2008 don't mess with the zohan Surely a sign Sandler was messing with him. I actually wouldn't mind watching Don't Mess With The... You didn't mind, did I? I think I've seen it. Yeah, any of the ones that are sort of just willfully so aggressively stupid, I don't feel as disrespected because they're not misrepresenting anything. It's like, if you watch this,

you know exactly what you're engaging with uh so i yeah i mean i zoe zohan zohan or zohan i can't remember and uh that's my boy are both tolerable if only for their honesty and marketing materials and execution it is exactly as fucking terrible as you imagine. I'm going to read most of this message because it's mainly fine. Is that sweet? How much money do you think Don't Mess With The Zohan made at the box office, Tim? $26 million. What do you think the budget was?

Eight. The budget? $90 million. Whoops. Why? Because it's a movie about... It's incredible. The first sentence on the Wikipedia page is, You Don't Mess With The Zohan is a 2008 American political satire comedy film

directed by Dennis Dugan and produced by Adam Sandler. To bill that movie as a political satire is truly commendable. Wait a minute. I'm thinking of the wrong movie. Sandler plays a counter-terrorist. I think i was thinking of zoolander too yeah no i haven't i haven't seen don't mess with the zohan but i have heard it referred to a lot how much

did it make guy uh it made 199.9 million dollars and why wouldn't it probably the most commercially successful political satire comedy film in the history of the fucking genre I don't know

so anyway take it away with your message oh boy Brodie writes hey Timbo and Gai Gai just wanted to provide a short background

regarding my relationship with the party before showering you with praise Apologies for the length Just a side note from Timbo This email isn't that long A few years back I was invited to a mate's place Only to find that his roommate

Whom I barely knew Was playing a drinking game of I've Been Grown Ups 2 I had never considered that as a possibility a good night was had and i only remember the mention of your podcast in hindsight it was less than a year ago i eventually recount recounted recap re reconciled sorry reconciled that drunken night with the fact that the game was invented on your podcast and have never looked back unfortunately i was only able to find season two and part of season three in my podcast app oh that's weird the only

part of season three was there so i jumped into the mythology around carrie and the girls and loved it before moving on to the fuck boys i yearned for what had caught my attention in the first place season one and grown-ups too um so that is on uh stitcher until premium stitcher premium i keep meaning to uh yeah you gotta pay it's behind a paywall is what we're trying to say with stitcher we sold it to them because we needed some money and they offered us some um that if you use the code if you use the code word worst, you probably get a free week. Fuck. Who knows, man? We are bad at business.

It's been quite some time since we made the deal. So long, in fact, that from memory, and I need to go back through the paperwork, but I'm pretty sure that expires next month. And I'm going to chuck the first season back up on the podcast stream, which will confuse the bejesus out of people because it'll be like what the fuck this is like four years old content they'll love it though it will be like reliving uh an experience but they'll be older can i tell you do you know it's actually the perfect distribution model for the podcast is to just keep uploading it I'm nervous about

I don't know Things change and people change It's been about four years Since we recorded the first lot That sounds about right You're worried about who we were As young men Yeah definitely

The world spins pretty fast these days I don't know what was said The world does spin fast I think we were fine we're good boys we're pretty good boys right on the person signed off this email looking for a movie recommendation although seeing something outside of

a Disney studio would be nice guy say my name Brodie Robinson well if it's movies that aren't made by disney you crave uh you're listening to the wrong podcast because of course disney do pay us a substantial amount of money to promote uh them and their subsidiary businesses and products uh at virtually every turn and uh i mean i for example right now i'm just clicking through the disney store website at shopdisney.com and there's you know you know, some great stuff to look forward to.

I mean, they're already selling back to school. That's how forward-thinking the people at Disney are. School holidays here in the States just beginning. But why wait? You don't want to rush around the stores the week before getting, you know, sending the kids back off to school. So stock up now. There's great Spider-Man, Star Wars, Mickey Mouse themed stuff.

Some for everyone in the family. That's shopdisney.com. I fucking hate this content that you insist on inserting in. It's bad content. Why do you hate it? It goes against the core of my inner being, my chocolatey inner being. Which is what?

Anti-corporatism. I mean, if Disney are going to throw all this money at us, the least we can do is, you know, promote their products. If you have negotiated a side hustle where you're genuinely getting paid by Disney, my respect for you will be undying i respect you quite a lot as a human so far i think you're a pretty good dude but my god i i would uh i would worship at your feet if you had figured this out somehow and

pulled a swifty on me a real mr magoo style business transaction where you've tricked me by coming across as a man completely disinterested with such matters but um in secret negotiating huge deals right yeah i am uh the mr magoo of business mr magoo i don't remember if it was made by disney but pretty fun movie not to be confused with with Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. And that wasn't. Hey, we recorded a Patreon watch recently, which is coming out, I think, in a few days. I've got it set to go.

I've started posting them up on a scheduled release thing now so that they can just, if I get hit by a truck, they'll still come out, which is what I'm all about and it was the uh second place in the most recent poll on the patreon so anyone who has been part of the deciders club will know what that movie is but i shan't spoil it for you so if you jump on the patreon anyone giving five bucks or more gets access to those special episodes and if you give 10 bucks or more you access to those special episodes and if you give 10 bucks or more you get to be part of the deciders club where you decide what guy and i are going to watch um exciting things afoot i really hope i've got that timeline right with the

season one freeing up legally so we can chuck it back on the stream so you can take a walk down memory lane uh next month or going to plan. Although I will be in Vietnam at the time, so maybe it'll be when I get back. Yeah, I'm finally going on a honeymoon. Got married some three months ago, so that'll be good. And what else? Go watch, go listen rather to,

oh, fuck, yeah. Go listen to Overlooked and Undercooked and please, if I may, oh, fuck, yeah, go listen to Overlooked and Undercooked. And please, if I may, Guy, promote another podcast product on this that isn't us, I done made a web series for another podcast that I produced for two very funny mates called The Male Gaze, and I fought tooth and nail to make sure that it was available internationally. So if you search The Male Gaze, spelled G-A-Y-Z, or Zed,

depending on what country you're in, on YouTube, it'll come up. TVNZ have got it on their YouTube channel, and the first two eps are up right now, third one's coming out this Sunday, and I'm very fucking proud of what we made on a tiny little budget. So if you've got any interest in seeing our third one's coming out this Sunday. And I'm very fucking proud of what we made on a tiny little budget.

So if you've got any interest in seeing two hilarious gay comedians talking about queer issues with special guests and games and shit, please check that out because I worked my little heart out on that thing and we've done it. As someone who is not affiliated with or involved with the product at all, I can say as a consumer,

it is a rollicking good time. Very, very funny. So congratulations, Tim, and do check it out. And to those of you still listening to us promote our various wares, I encourage you please to come along to see Alice Ned and myself perform a split bill of stand-up comedy at Union Hall in New York City on Friday, July the 20th at 7.30. Tickets are available online. The link is in my bio.

Where else? The link will also be in this episode description, so you can just click it there. It's five measly bucks. Five dollars? I won't speak for myself, as I will risk being rusty on account of the lack of stage time I'm currently enjoying.

But Alice Didden is truly, her show is one of the funniest in the whole effing festival this year. So please, if not for me, do it for her, in the great words of the photo montage Homer Simpson made in memory of his daughter Maggie. Not memory, to inspire himself in the workplace. Has Alice left yet? No, I don't think so.

I think I've found some old worst idea posters we have made. Surplus two requirements owing to our terrible merch theme. So maybe I'll try and give some to her. Do you know what i can guarantee alice nidden will love doing put a bunch of old worst idea of all time posters in her bag and flying with it uh across the world anyhow it's been a real a real joy thank you all for your correspondence please uh continue writing to us at the worstst City of All Time Facebook page or emailing.

That's it. We've got to stop talking now. Enjoy your days, everyone. Guy, pleasure. Bye. Bye. Yes, it's the friend zone with Tim and Guy, because making friends is the best idea of all time
