today you ready okay let's go the hunt for the wildest movie of the summer everybody ends here this is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately borderlands now playing oh to be 24 i'm gonna say i assume that's my age in this episode, episode 24, funnily enough, and we continue by hemisphere, don't think that's a proper term, but it's worth putting out there. I'm in Copenhagen, I'm living large, I'm with my friend Matt Wright. And Tim is still sort of neglecting his social life in Auckland at this point in time.

And honestly, you know, the world is young in this episode. We're both using Twitter a lot, a social media app on the rise. We're speculating. This is how long ago this is we're speculating that rob schneider is not in grown-ups too not because no one wanted him there but because he made that decision to save his career i mean we are we're miles off base really but uh we're having fun there's a good spirit in this one and i think we're also taking quite a sort of a broader or cosmic view of the podcast at about the half way mark of our first season where um i think to get an appreciation for the fact we're doing doing it sorry about that doing it at all while we are apart uh we're both trying to trying to take the long view the sort of google maps you we look down on this decision and think that is funny because it's wrong we're also named chicken zach efron we're sort of

we're working through um you know at the time we don't know but what will become our future creative fodder so yeah feel like the season's building up a head of steam at this point so is my holiday little sneeze off mic there

hope you didn't pick it up enjoy I hope you didn't pick it up. Enjoy. Yes, hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time. My name is Guy Montgomery. And my name is Tim Andrew Batt. Are we doing full names? We are this week, brother. My name is Guy Alexander Halifax Montgomery.

And you're speaking to Timothy Andrew Batt, and we have just watched Grown Ups 2 for the 24th time. Welcome to this episode of the worst idea of all time. And it's party time. I'm coming to you live from sunny Copenhagen. It's 1123. The temperature outside, I would say, is roughly 25 degrees Celsius. The Danish people are wandering around in their shorts and singlets, smiling at each other because they're so goddamn attractive. And I'm holed up in this house with Timbette for company.

A drunk Timbette, I hasten to add. You're not wrong, and it's just occurred to me that I've actually come into the recording studio with an area lick of alcohol in sight, so I don't quite know what the solution to that is, but, oh, actually, Guy, because you're on Skype, the beauty is I can take my laptop and get beer, or whiskey, which I have brought.

So do you want to pad for about 45 seconds? I won't be able to talk but i'll be able to hear everything you say talk me through what happened this week in the episode okay i can't believe we're actually taking a break on the podcast to satisfy tim's rampant alcoholism but uh this week we we live tweeted the whole viewing of grown-ups too and i gotta say we really ran that town for the hour 41 minutes that Grown Ups 2 runs for. I lost quite a lot of followers. Tim, for some reason, was gaining them.

I don't quite know what was going on there because my tweets were obviously much more entertaining than Tim's, but it's neither here nor there. It's not about competition. It's about unity. It's about brotherhood and friendship. And I could really use some company right now. Oh, yeah, you're not wrong.

It's about Twitter uniting the world. It's about hashtags bringing people together. It's about the Budweiser, which I just procured from the kitchen, and Johnny Walker Red Label, which I bought from the liquor store earlier. You know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying. So, yeah, I mean, in terms of viewing experience, I actually didn't really check out too much of the movie this week.

I'm being completely honest with you. I had the headphones in. I had it on a small screen. It took up about a quarter of my computer screen, and the rest of it was just Twitter. I was just blasting Twitter. That was the most tweets I've ever done. Yeah, dude, I think we probably tweeted more tonight

than we had collectively since we both joined Twitter. Like, there were hundreds of tweets happening. Yeah, and yeah, as I was saying earlier, not all of them popular. What are you going to do? Not all of them popular, not all of them positive, not all of them grammatically correct. In fact, if I look at my recent activity

timeline on Twitter right now, it's pretty much just us masturbating each other off. It's just Tim Batt is all up in my business, and I'm imagining I'm all up in yours. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Occasionally someone tries and dips their toe in the pool,

but we just blast them right out of there. We have, like, when we say live tweeted the movie, we mean that in the most genuine sense of the word. Like, pretty much every minute of this movie had at least a tweet from both me and Guy. And considering that the movie is, what is it, 141 minutes? 141.

An hour 41. An hour 41. So what does that pan out to? 101. 101. 101 minutes. Like, that's a lot of tweets. So we definitely probably did a couple hundred tweets each this week.

I've got to be honest with you, it was a refreshing way to go about doing this podcast because I didn't feel like the sort of slow-moving sense of dread as each scene sort of lumbers into the next one. Or actually, it's hasty, isn't it? I sort of, I was invigorated. I was enjoying myself. My brain was firing.

I was going, choo-choo, choo. And some pretty big names got involved. We had Di Henwood came into the foray and promised to do one of the future podcasts with us. Ben Hurley was all up in our grill. Adam Wright from Wellington got involved.

My mate, Harmona. There was a lot of people who got involved with the conversation. And that just adds as... What's that song? Cat Power? Throwing gasoline on the fire, something. I don't know.

You know what I'm talking about. It's a good song. It's really important that you know your cultural references before you dive into them, Tim. Fair call, fair call. But we want to get away from that. If you want to revisit all of that, that's the history, but you can just search the hashtag, hashtag grownups2

Something that concerned me greatly is when I was typing out hashtag grownups2 is that hashtag grownups3 was pre-populated That's a thing that's so popular at the moment that Twitter assumed that I'd be talking about that I imagine. So I'm just going to do a quick investigation and see what comes up

under that hashtag. I'd like to think that rumours are swirling that Grown Ups 3 is currently in the works. I've actually got an interesting revelation to make to you, Tim. I watched the trailer for an upcoming Ben Stiller film a few days ago called A Night at the Museum, something to do with a tomb. It's the third A Night at the

Museum, right? Holy fuck, are you serious? And in watching the trailer this thing is absolutely chock-a-block with stars. Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson. I mean, it's all happening. Holy, there's a sky of stars. That's right.

And watching this trailer, this is the first time actually that I've been watching something and been like, now that movie looks like it deserves to be watched 52 times. It's like it's a part of me now there's just a tickle that sometimes needs to be scratched on my end which is I need to be involved you know that's a filter through which I look at movie trailers now it's really odd

that's depressing I mean you should watch the trailer and tell me what you think of what? Of what I was just talking about, A Night at the Museum 3. Oh, yeah, I tuned out for a second because I was seeing some tweets on the hashtag GrownUps3. Sorry, Bo.

This is no way to run a podcast. Listen, it's not a wave of focus, I'll admit, at the moment. I've got a Johnny Walker red one-litre bottle to my right. I've got a fresh Budweiser open to my left. But the more important... No, more importantly, quickly, is what were your options? I mean, you're drunk and alone in a room with a computer right now. Alternate to that, what were your sort of social options

on a Friday night in the bohemia that is Auckland City? Well, Work invited me to join them at the Head Like a Hole concert, which is the first time they've had a live gig in quite a while, and Booger Beasley lead singer of Head Like a Hole great man, a bit of a mate of mine I'd be tempted to say

I'd quite like to see Hillar tonight, but he's a commitment factor that comes in Not only do you like the music but you're actually friends with one of the band members. Well, like, Boog is just, he's a dude. I don't know, friends might be taking it too far. He probably wouldn't call me a friend, but, you know, he's a good dude, and I'd love to see him,

and I like Hilar, and it would be good. But I said nay, I said nay. There's two house parties which I've said nay to this evening as well, just in the interim, while I record this little puppy. So this is my Friday night, NZT, 1st of August. So you've probably passed up the opportunity to spend time with, cumulatively,

over 200 different people to instead be... At a min. At a minimum. At a minimum. How do you feel about this? I'll tell you what. Starting in, going in, horrible. Really depressed and very down on my luck and very self-pitying. But as the night's gone on and I've injected more alcohol into the old bloodstream,

I felt better about the commitment that I've made to the podcast, to the movie, and to you, Guy Montgomery, and to our fans more importantly, to the dozens, to the ones and ones of people still listening to our escapades in film. It's to them. This one's for the fans.

This one's for you. And if you take a step outside of your own body and look at the situation objectively, I mean, how do you feel about the life decisions you've made to get you to this point? Not great. There's definitely a lot of things I could have done better to avoid being right here.

But in light of everything, you know, things could be worse. I could be dead. I could be in Gaza, you know. I'm okay. Never afraid to touch on politics here at the worst idea of all time Much like growing up too, we will delve into anything with reckless abandon

Yeah, so I mean, shit, should we get into the movie? Should we talk about that? I'm actually quite enjoying the sort of vaguely philosophical strain of conversation that we've currently tapped into. Okay, well then allow me to pick up that ball and run with it, Guy,

because currently what I love about the podcast at the moment is that it's disrupting an overseas adventure that you're on at the moment. You're on a genuine vacation for seven or eight weeks. On the other side of the globe, you're in Europe, you're visiting fantastic cities. My understanding is you're still in Denmark at the moment. Tell me about it. Well, with regards to the podcast, I've got to say it's actually,

I can appreciate the humour in it, in that I'm in these beautiful cities, and occasionally, I'm going to be honest with you, Tim, I've woken up with a hangover once or twice and been faced with the strength of the anaconda that we have to wrestle here in the form of grown-ups too. I'll bet. And it's an interesting sort of seasoning to the trip.

It's an interesting thing to pepper in. I've never been to Europe before. I mean, I'm fascinated by this place. It's incredible. And I just constantly have this sort of anvil or stone of shame to drag around with me um in fact i'd be more akin to call it the stone of triumph in a simpsons reference because it's bigger this is the size of this sort of obstacle it's just weird it feels really weird and for those of you who aren't aware of the

reference that guy's making at the moment it's's the Stonecutters episode, which is one of the finest in the golden era of The Simpsons. Yeah. Actually, I've been watching a few episodes of The Simpsons in my downtime over here, and it's just packed with jokes. The other thing I was going to say, actually, is I went to an open-air screening in Royal Flowers Park or Roses Park here in Copenhagen of The Shining. Roses Park? Is that what it's really called, Roses Park?

Not in English. No, that's quite a good pun name if you want to name a park after Rosa Parks, though. If you wanted to make it funny about one of the great icons of the civil disobedience movement, bloody Moses Park. Classic. We've stumbled into one.

But The Shining. This is one thing that watching Grown Ups 2 every week does do, is it gives me a real appreciation for other films. Have you seen The Shining? Do you know what? Never seen it. I had not seen this movie before either, but it is absolutely fucking phenomenal.

And Danes are weird. They laugh at all the scary bits. They've got a weird sense of humor. Who do? Germans or Danish? Danish people. I don't really know. Germans seem like they have a pretty normal sense of humor.

I don't know about the stereotype. Do they, bro? Yeah, I reckon they were all good. Although it's hard to tell because I might have just been laughing at the accent partially you know how when you first meet someone with a foreign accent you give them like a two-week grace period where everything they say is fascinating because it sounds different correct yeah i could have done that because i was only there for two weeks but you're in the full grace period for your entire duration of visit that's right

well i do feel like they get a bit of a hard rap read a sense of humor have you sorry i just read it i just read a tweet which really threw me off my stride i've do you know what i've done to prevent distractions such as this is i've blacked out my entire screen sorry i'll turn that i'll turn that shit off it's off it's gone sorry it was about zach efron and a potential um child pedophilia ring in hollywood but we don't need to get into it you sound very muffled um oh yeah that's because i shut my screen which has got the mic attached this is a nightmare okay there we go now i've just shut twitter down there we go this is a hot mess of a podcast did you say zach efron involved in the pedophilia today you ready okay let's go the hunt for the wildest movie of the summer

ends here this is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately borderlands now playing you shouldn't read we don't need to get into it we're not getting into it that's the whole point of me bringing it up the whole point of me bringing it up is that we don't need to get into it. We're not getting into it. That's the whole point of me bringing it up. The whole point of me bringing it up is that we don't need to get into it. But why... I see. Okay, I get it. That makes sense.

Well done. I agree. You can ask the obvious question if you wish. Why bring it up if you wanted to get away from it? And the answer is, I brought it up to get away from it. I mean, it sounds like circular logic, but you do what you've got to do, Tim. You got me there, Monty. You got me there.

So of the snippets of the film that you did give your undivided attention as you tweeted your way through this shit show, what stuck out to you this week, Tim? The performer of one Salma Hayek. Yeah? What do you think? Varied. Varied.

If I could describe it in a word it would be varied because i feel like within grown-ups too she gives both the performance of a lifetime her lifetime because she's not that great an actor but also some of the worst performances she's ever given on film so it's like it's all there on display that if you wanted a full reel of her talent uh this is the movie because it displays her at her worst and her best that's a good analogy erratic i mean if it was to be if she was to be compared to a sports star in her performance in this film flashes of brilliance but uh sort of inconsistent and occasionally occasionally lazy the interesting thing about the example you've picked which is

a sports star monty is you haven't gone specific by picking a sports star Nor in your terminology have you suggested Any sports lingo whatsoever So I'm struggling to see why you Sort of preface that with sports star Well okay Like I say a soccer player A football star who plays for Tottenham Hotspur

And he's young Pick one You've got to name a dude. This is how references work. You name a person. No. You say, if it was like in the sports arena, then you say it's like David Tua, once the greatest boxer that Australasia

has ever known. Because then you alienate, you potentially alienate certain listeners who don't understand the reference. If you keep it broad, the analogy remains accessible to everyone. don't understand the reference if you keep it broad no the analogy remains accessible to everyone if you operate the reference correctly what you would do is drop the name you get bonus points for those who recognize it and then you go on to explain why they are like that person through adjectives which everyone can then get on board with thus growing the broader audience out i think and they feel like they've picked up a joke that they didn't have before

to put in their pocket so they can use it at the water cooler on a Monday. It's a powerful... This is how references work. It's a powerful argument. I'm saying in the context of this podcast, with listeners who I assume have a tenuous interest at best with the current conversation,

I'm not going to risk losing any unnecessary fans or listeners with a specific reference. That might be the breaking point, the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. And they say, look, this is too obscure. I'm out. Guy, how in any way are you concerned about us losing people at this point? Like, the very endeavour is us watching one of the shittest comedies ever made. No, hear me out. One of the shittest comedies ever made. No, hear me out. One of the shittest comedies ever made once a week, 52 times in a row.

If they're not down with anything, they're gone. Okay? Like, these people are DTF'd up. They're down to get fucked up. Bye, podcast. Yeah, yeah. If I'm being completely honest, the argument I laid out just before was, it was an argument for the sake of argument.

I agree with you on this one, Tim. I dropped the analogy ball, and I feel like I really lost my train of thought accordingly. Can I ask you a personal question, though? Yeah, go for it. Can I ask you a personal question? I mean, I know that, like, we were both there exposed to the movie

and sort of watching the movie and definitely both very much listening to the movie the whole way through this week. But did you have a shining light this week, bro? I like that this is a personal question. You're accessing a part of me I don't really give away to anyone, Tim, all right? I was trying to pad while you thought of a shining light because I felt like you would probably know where I was going with this. I'm not just some two-bit floozy all right if you want to know my shining light you

gotta you gotta treat me right you gotta you've got to be a gentleman well let me ask you real kind and real nice right now guy montgomery what part of this terrible film stood out to you this 24th watch as being not bad? There were two bits. I'll only do one. I really liked when David Spade, they were sort of I was watching it in a meta sense so I was seeing if anyone broke the fourth wall because you know how you can imagine, like you can read certain

lines of dialogue is definitely breaking the fourth wall, like cries for help within the movie to the audience. And David Spade when he gets put in the tyre he says, this is peer pressure within the movie to the audience. And David Spade, when he gets put in the tyre, he says, this is peer pressure, you guys are bullies. And in his delivery of the line, I like to imagine that he was trying to

get out of the glass cage that he was in and tell everyone watching, I'm not down with this. Because it's interesting because, oh shit, what's his name? Who was in the first one but he's not in the second one? Rob Schneider.

Rob Schneider managed to break out of the glass facade. Yeah, he did. Brave man. Was he, now, was he doing something? Like, was he involved in a project which conflicted timeline-wise with this? Or did he just decide he didn't want to be involved? I get the feeling he just decided, look, at this point,

this is more harmful for my career than it is good. And I'm hanging... This is the man who did The Animal. Look, I said it last week, I'll say it again. The Animal isn't an awful movie. OK, you can say it. It doesn't make it true, but you can say it. I can say it. It doesn't make it true, but you can say it. I can say it.

I'm pretty sure that they got, they didn't even use an actress to play the female lead. They just hired some chick from the first season of Survivor. That's a fact. Good God. I don't know how I know that. Did you watch the first season of Survivor? It was really good back then.

Fuck Survivor's been going for ages. Nah, man. I didn't. There was this guy, I think his the first season of survivor it was really good back then fuck survivor's been going for ages no man i didn't there was this guy i think his name was richard and he was really manipulative this is before reality shows were everywhere and it was amazing to watch someone actually like play people because there was no strategy involved everyone was just being genuine and he was just fucking on the hustle you know survivor started pre-911 bro it kicked off in the year 2000 like that was that was pre-9-11, bro? It kicked off in the year 2000. Like, that was pre-9-11, bro. That's 14. And do they sometimes do two seasons a year?

I feel like there's been more than 14 seasons of Survivor. Oh, there's been way more. Yeah, there's been a shit ton, bro, because they keep moving it all around the world and pretending like it's a different thing. Yeah. So anyway, that was my shining light. What was yours, Tim?

Well, I guess the varied performance of Salma Hayek was one aspect to it. But the main one was this week. I got really attracted to the fact that Stone Cold Steve Austin playing Tommy Kavanagh, who is the bully of Adam Sandler, our lead in the film, for some reason throws in this strange nationalist strain into the movie. This pitch of, he introduces this concept that his son is fighting in the US Armed Forces.

He doesn't specify if it's the Army, the Navy or the Air Force, but that he's in Afghanistan. And it's just so at odds with everything else that we've experienced in the film and there's something beautiful about that it's like we're at the end of the movie like this is it, we're wrapping it up we're getting everything done and then boom we've got a brand new tone in there and this tone

is a patriotism tone that was, I think, that's just the movie sort of, I feel like for all of the wrongs that they've done I mean, I don't think people who watch the movie will be particularly sensitive to the wrongs that are perpetuated throughout it, but I feel like it's just the movie clutching at some more straws

to be relevant and also sort of have some semblance of a moral compass or a family undertone, because you've got to remember this is meant to be a family movie and I feel like it's just one last fucking, just throwing spaghetti against yeah i feel like it's just one last fucking just throwing spaghetti against the wall and hoping it's cooked and they're just thinking if this if this sticks

then people will think that we're american and you've got to admit that getting a former wwe star to announce that his son is in afghanistan that is a surefire way to get middle america to the cineplex i also yeah 12 bucks on the ticket. I also enjoyed, there's a sort of irony in that Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a movie which is consistently advertising the idea that violence and fighting is a test of your merit as a man or whatever, there's a beautiful irony in former professional wrestler, world champion Stone Cold Steve Austin,

preaching essentially an anti-violence message, which is wasted on the whole town, who then engage in this full-scale brawl with women and children unsafe, men just beating up anything in sight. It would be akin from a political scale to Dick Cheney suddenly adopting a pacifist outlook and saying, let's try Hands Across America again

and see if it really takes off this time. You know? It makes no sense. It doesn't match what the history has kind of foretold that they will do. And it's a backwards world. We're in Alice in Wonderland. Let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

That's right. Too many bears. Go Montgomery. This film the rabbit hole goes. That's right. I've had too many beers. Go Montgomery. This film does not stand up to scrutiny 24 times. What say you? I feel like you've almost summarised the week's learnings, Tim. I couldn't agree more. I think

I didn't learn anything from this viewing. It's just another day in the office. It's another day in paradise office it's another day in paradise alright well let me throw this question at you let's for a moment while we wrap up if I may let's move away from the film

you're in Europe, you're in Copenhagen you're in one of the greatest cities on earth in the year 2014 tell me what your experiences have been in the last few days what you've seen, what you've smelt, what you've experienced. Give it to me straight. Okay, well, I'm staying with friends Matt and Hannah,

and Matt has been a fantastic host. He's really, he's sort of, I think he quite likes to, because Copenhagen's not really a destination spot, and so I think sort of when he gets a friend over here, he's really excited to advertise how great the city is. So I've been lucky enough to borrow a bike for the most of my time and copenhagen as i said last week is the world's most cycle friendly city three years running so we're biking around there are canals everywhere to go swimming in i did a five meter jump i've just built this sort of platform that you jump

off into the canal at a pool which doesn't which doesn't sound like a lot but let me tell you five meter jump and i'm not talking to you, because you obviously have just done the jump. I'm talking to the listeners. That's a hell of a jump. No, I tell you, I think it's not too big. I think it's a nice, comfortable height. I mean, there are kids doing it. I used to be good at jumping off high stuff, but I get scared now.

You're going to call me out, Monty. You're going to call me out while I was trying to big-ups you. I just want everyone to understand that I'm not a pussy, and I don't think five meters is a very high jump. Fair enough. Anyway, there's a place called Christiania, which is sort of a self-governed, it's almost a small country within a country here in Copenhagen in the heart of the city. And it's known for, it's sort of, it's called the Green District.

And it's where they wheel and deal and smoke and toke a lot of hash and marijuana it's this really bizarre sort of liberal haven in the middle of what is a pretty straight city they love drinking piss over here Danish people get smashed but they're all like

they're all very sort of straight edge beyond that they don't really venture too far into vices so just hashish just hashish They're all very sort of straight edge. Beyond that, they don't really venture too far into vices. Oh, they smoke too. So just hashish? Just hashish. And I bought some hashish. That's pretty intense.

Like, it's a hell of a drug, right? Ah, it's all right. It's pretty good. It's sort of just, you just get a little bit, you get a little bit of a buzz on. You know what I'm talking about. And anyway, other things. No, I don't. I of a buzz on, you know what I'm talking about and anyway, other things I don't bro because I live a

clean living lifestyle I'm on holiday baby yeah but you're not on a holiday from God mate you know, the judgement still is there, he sees everything anyway, tomorrow he's like Santa, he's like a moralistic Santa.

Look, I'm going to... I'm going to ignore that and advertise what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm really excited about this. There's a festival called Vanguard on here. It's in its second year. And I bought a one-day ticket. I'm going to go see Damn Funk.

It's mostly hip-hop artists. Large Professor and Lord Finesse. The Roots. Moe's Deaf. Method Man and Red Man. The Fart who's fella cootie's who's his son and his band egypt 80 i'm so excited i'll correct you right there it's mo's deaf how did i say it mo's deaf mo's deaf well it's actually you can say it either way it's actually y Yassin Bey. Really? He's changed his name anyway. Oh, my bad. Well, very well.

Guy Montgomery, I'm eternally jealous of your trip to Europe, as I've explained in prior episodes, but it is wonderful to talk to you, and I think that this one has been one of the most fun watches yet because we were live-twinning up a storm despite being on other sides of the world. We exploited globalism in the modern age where global communication knows no timely bounds

or bounds of distance. And I feel like I'm closer to you as a result. That got heartfelt. This has been a real, I've really enjoyed this podcast. It's been up and down. We've hit some highs. We've touched on some lows. And we're probably going to have to do it again in a couple of days

to try and catch up. We're still one behind. It's like we're chasing ourselves. Hey, listen. I've had a lot of whiskey. I've got a lot of whiskey left. So let's call it a day. Let's save the rest of the whiskey for the next watch. And let's do it all again soon. Have a good night, mate.

Go Montgomery. Yep. Take care of yourself. Don't ever interrupt me again. A good night, everyone. See you next time. Feel every moment. Love every day. Because before you know it, your precious time slips away. These walls are paper thin. I'm singing too loud.

These walls are paper thin. Feel that moment. Love every day. Cause before you know it, your precious time slips away. Feel that moment. Today. You ready? Okay, let's go. The hunt for the wildest movie of the summer ends here this is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately borderlands now playing
