Starting point is 00:00:00 Here we are, the boys are in stride in this episode. That's how I look at it. Hot off of listening to episode 35 myself, the episode which awaits you in mere seconds. I like it. It's nice. Two dudes who have figured out what they're doing. They know that it doesn't mean the earth, but they're having fun doing it. This is us at, i guess doing the math really quickly what like the 60 to 70 completion mark i feel like there is an energy that the end
Starting point is 00:00:33 is somewhat in sight um we're a little bit excited i think because this is when we started getting a few listeners coming in from the states and our numbers were going pretty good. So it's just the boys are in a good place in this ep. The guys are doing well. The movie remains the same. There's a lot of treats in this episode, and I would invite you to listen to the very end because there's a pretty great treat right in the final bit. It's very funny to hear us talking about Paddy Schwartz as well
Starting point is 00:01:08 as these episodes tick by. One day, God willing, we will have that beer with him. But I think now his star is on the rise so much that I think he might exit any possible stratosphere that we could hope to to catch him you know approaching our realm i think maybe that possibility has uh has disappeared but that's all right we don't fucking need him we've got him tattooed on our bodies he's with us wherever we go until we die anyway enjoy this episode it's fun it it's nice, it's a good one Goodbye Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, that one what was that one i couldn't tell you uh no i can't remember it hello and welcome to
Starting point is 00:02:25 the worst idea of all time episode number 35 slightly unorthodox introduction for what was a very orthodox watch of the movie just tim and i middle of the day lounging about uh i'm in shorts just swatting around you look good i said that as soon as i opened the door and you were yeah and your beard is coming along nicely thanks and i think we should address this right at the top tim and i were just talking about it what we would love to see from you oh yeah there's more selfies of wherever you're listening to the podcast hard out we find it really interesting to know that people are like listening to this while they go about their lives it blows our mind that anyone's listening at all to be honest there's a a friend of one of my flatmates came in and she listens to
Starting point is 00:03:04 the podcast completely independently of knowing him he'd never put her onto it she just listens it's even more amazing that there are people in america who who listen to this i love the fact that a guy posted we have on the on the on the facebook page saying i'm starting to think in a kiwi accent because he's been listening to the podcast so much oh shit i love that that must be confusing we don't pop up enough uh content for that to happen, though. Maybe we need to do a podcast every day. Start cranking it.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Every day, mate. I'm in such a good mood right now. I could watch this movie. No, I'm not going to say anything stupid, but I could watch this movie another 15 times or whatever. What, today? No, just in general. I have been thinking that for one of them
Starting point is 00:03:42 we could do like a charity drive where we lock ourselves into a room for 48 hours and the movie is just on repeat so we can do other things no we're in a
Starting point is 00:03:51 room just us no technology so it's on yeah no technology so it's actually you know
Starting point is 00:03:59 it would be funny if it was a bathroom you're coming back round to my idea for the bathtub special two grown men in a lukewarm bath on a stage watching grown ups too a bathroom you're coming back around to my idea for the bathtub special two grown men in a lukewarm bath
Starting point is 00:04:07 on a stage watching grown ups 2 this is a way more nightmarish version of it by the way if this is the first episode that you've come in for some reason
Starting point is 00:04:15 this is a podcast in which myself and Guy Montgomery I'm Tim Batt I'm Guy Montgomery we watch the movie grown ups 2 once a week
Starting point is 00:04:22 every week for a whole year and we kind of review it afterwards is this episode 35 or 36 35 Guy Montgomery we watch the movie Grown Ups 2 once a week every week for a whole year and we kind of review it afterwards is this episode 35 or 36 35
Starting point is 00:04:29 you sure no I'm really not it's not important pretty sure what is time time is but a construct of man
Starting point is 00:04:36 exactly and one that I am fast losing my grip on absolutely so I mean it was just like it was just
Starting point is 00:04:44 it was just but imagine that Imagine if we did it for 48 hours I don't want to imagine that And we live streamed without sound Just us I saw this pop up this morning A woman in China got dumped by her boyfriend
Starting point is 00:04:58 And spent the whole weekend in the KFC No it was a whole week She was just in the K fry I mean we can't compete with that I love that bro She is a girl That is amazing After my own heart
Starting point is 00:05:10 And it had a file photo of her And I hope it's her Not just some like stock photo They've got Because it was like Yup that's what I expected Sad woman in a KFC That is a sad looking Asian
Starting point is 00:05:22 Like mid-twenties girl In a K fry With her head down In a position that I've been in Many times in KFC Not It is a sad-looking Asian, like, mid-20s girl in a K-Fry with her head down, in a position that I've been in many times in KFC, not for a week, but when you just need to put your face against something cold after you've just, like, dominated the family. This is another thing we discussed recently. I don't eat KFC at all. Yeah, I find that terrifying.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Oh, come on. Phone's off. Sorry, it's a new phone. I don't know how to work it. Anyway, look, Tim, we've been dibbling around at the top of this thing. Let's crack into some content. Okay. Sorry, a little cough there.
Starting point is 00:05:51 How did you enjoy the movie? I enjoyed it okay today, and that's largely due to the fact that we've accidentally kind of missed. I think it's been about 10 days instead of a week, so apologies for that. That is refreshing, though. As a podcaster and a viewer,
Starting point is 00:06:07 that is a refreshing change to come in with fresh eyes, you know? All it takes is a couple of days more than the usual, and suddenly you're... Then you run into the... This is the high, and then the low is the turnaround this time. It's like it's a short week, you know? We took notes this time, and I think we should dive into them.
Starting point is 00:06:24 The first is that you visited peter dante's website yesterday which i haven't i've been snooping around peter dante's twitter for a while now he's a good cat it never occurred to me i can't remember the name of the site it's something weird he's a good cat uh he retweets all this sort of like he alternates between like retweeting buddhist proverbs and just heaps of shit about weed. Cool. And I went to his website and like, it's, it's a, it's a sight to behold,
Starting point is 00:06:49 man. He's got all these old sketches. I watched his old sketchy with Nick Swanson called the Fowler. But I think what got me most excited was he's released an album of music, which is available on iTunes. And then also as an add on, he's released like six covers as free downloads on his site. So I downloaded Peter Dante
Starting point is 00:07:05 singing Bob Marley's Redemption song and was just marching around the house folding up my laundry yesterday. While Peter Dante's just going fucking bananas in the background. That's so good. Yeah. How is he as a singer?
Starting point is 00:07:20 How's his voice? Oh, he's like just... He's alright? He's okay. He's just like a dude singing shit but it's pretty amazing because i mean we were talking we want to go to la for the final episode and we'd love to secure some sort of name value from the movie yeah i mean i reckon peter dante is our best bet he is he's he's but the thing is i feel like he's such a positive guy
Starting point is 00:07:38 and he's so into his buddhism by the looks of things yeah that he might look at our project as maybe a touch mean-spirited. Although it's not mean-spirited. It's more experimental. It's like I've often been worried about that, about this whole podcast thing. The angle? Kind of.
Starting point is 00:07:52 You think we're going to be blacklisted from Hollywood? No, no, no, no. You're not going to be allowed to be a walk-on extra in a Happy Madison production? I don't really, I don't much care about that. But just the fact that it is kind of a slightly negative thing That's always been in the back of my mind The thing is, if you hold anything up to this level of scrutiny
Starting point is 00:08:10 It doesn't matter what you'd watch If someone came and watched you do stand-up comedy 52 times in a row Just as a point of interest And did a podcast deconstructing it every time That's different different isn't it because I mean it was just different because this thing doesn't change
Starting point is 00:08:30 yeah but it I was actually getting angry at some of the characters today how so well like when Selma Hayek was like
Starting point is 00:08:38 did you is this a present or something oh I didn't understand yeah and I was like it wasn't a present the last 34 times he brought it to you why the fuck would it be a present the 35th i got mad at um the party scene when kyle the um
Starting point is 00:08:53 squat robux instructor vomits after nick hooks up with a dog and it's like why am i getting mad because it's in the movie and the movie doesn't change like me getting mad at it doesn't change and there's there's quite a Buddhist lesson there, actually, which is like, oh, what's that great Christian proverb? God give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change. No, fuck, what is it? It's like just God. And the last one is in the wisdom to know the difference.
Starting point is 00:09:21 But it's like basically. But I forget what's in the middle. Change the shit. Forget the actual meaning. I can't remember the wording. So it's like change the forget what's in the middle change the shit i can't remember the wording so it's like change the shit you can let go of the shit you can't and um hopefully you're smart enough to figure out the difference between the two i see it's a good vibe but i haven't clearly brought that onto heart because i keep getting pissed off at kyle vomiting and you don't even know the like passage or proverb that you're referencing well that too but I understand the spirit of it
Starting point is 00:09:46 mmm um what else is on the notepad there there was a weird sound if it sounded like I was pissing I was just drinking water from a really big glass very unprofessional
Starting point is 00:09:54 you wouldn't catch me doing that although we've both got little tickles in our throat so sorry about that yeah niggly wee tickles what's on the um oh Keith switches position
Starting point is 00:10:03 on bus continuity oh this is a kind of boring continuity error, but I did spot another continuity error in relation to Keithy on the bus. But this boils into something cooler. The fantasy world?
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yes. So if you watch it... The fantasy world? There's a bit... There's a shot where Keithy's on the right side of the bus, and then when it goes back to the shot he's sitting on the left and it's weird because
Starting point is 00:10:27 there's only one left on the bus we've talked about it we were talking about this yeah where he's you know this stuff Keithy's still on the bus when they get to school
Starting point is 00:10:34 obviously we're assuming that it was a deleted scene they shot exactly we think something got cut but so now what
Starting point is 00:10:41 I don't know if I nah I do reckon it fuck it I'm going with it is that Keithithy stays on the bus and hides under one of the seats and witnesses the murder of nick swanson or the attempted murder of him watches the the grown-ups just mucking around for a day and thinks to himself these are not good people yeah and one of them's his dad so like and it's all his best friends so it's pretty scary but I reckon
Starting point is 00:11:05 Keithy stays on the bus as they go for their joyride I quite like that I mean there were a few we were trying to create a few alternate realities for the film
Starting point is 00:11:12 the other one was the first line Adam Sandler tells he tells Salma Hayek to open the window there's a deer in the house I don't quite know why he thinks it's going to
Starting point is 00:11:20 solve the problem he's like honey your mother's visiting from Mexico I need you to go and open the window so what if Salma Hayek gets up opens the problem and he's like honey your mother is visiting from Mexico I need you to go and open the window so what if
Starting point is 00:11:26 Summerhike gets up opens the window and the deer just runs straight through the bedroom and that would be the ideal like that would be the best I guess that's what he's going for
Starting point is 00:11:34 jumps out of the window and breaks both of its front legs on the lawn and then the whole movie is just Adam Sandler and his family dealing with this really fucked up deer
Starting point is 00:11:44 which is still alive but presumably like immobile and in a lot of pain do you know what the Adam Sandler and his family Dealing with this Really fucked up deer Which is still alive But presumably Like immobile And in a lot of pain Do you know what that Adam Sandler movie Would be called? What?
Starting point is 00:11:51 My Dear Wife And he has to marry Yeah He falls in love With the deer or something And he has to marry the deer Yeah because he like Nurses it back to health
Starting point is 00:11:59 Eventually And like Plastic casts it But honestly Dealing with a full grown Adult deer This thing is enormous. Dealing with that with broken limbs at the front of your yawn
Starting point is 00:12:10 in suburban Connecticut would be a fucking trip, dude. That would be too real, bro. Imagine you see it jump out and you're like, oh my God, thank God the deer's gone out of the room. You hear the crack, you hear the deer's like crying pain, you're like, oh shit. And you run downstairs, you're confronted by the image of a full grown A majestic beast here on God's green earth
Starting point is 00:12:28 Just like wincing and screaming And it would go for so long It would be flapping its front body But its legs are broken Because it wouldn't bleed out It wouldn't necessarily have any like lacerations You know that would lead to arteries Bleeding arteries So it would just be there busted up And because it's so big Just the whole family lacerations and I mean you know that would lead to arteries bleeding out
Starting point is 00:12:45 so it would just be they're busted up and because it's so big can you imagine how traumatic that would be for the kids or his daughter
Starting point is 00:12:51 Becky my god Becky you need to see a therapist after that for years you never trust your father again probably like
Starting point is 00:12:58 relationship issues after that well I mean what could have been really isn't it that's the situation we've walked into there it'd be an interesting interesting fucking movie and probably one that i prefer hey there's one
Starting point is 00:13:11 thing that we've like talked about a lot you and just you and i guide while the movies and this happens a lot we talk about something while the movie's playing but then we kind of forget to get to it in the podcast and for about 10 weeks now we've've noticed that Laminsof claims a victory, which he does not earn. Oh, yes, of course. So in the fictional TV show within the movie, which is the soap opera that Eric watches. No, it is actually Days of Our Lives. They got the naming rights to Days of Our Lives.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Oh, okay. But it's the actual actors, obviously, because it's Chris Berman, a sportscaster for ESPN. Go you Broncos. Go Broncos. And in it... I got Demarius Thomas on my fantasy team. He's bloody blitzing it, mate.
Starting point is 00:13:47 He pulled in two touchdowns the last two games. He is single-handedly dragging me back into playoff contention. See, this is why we've got such a big American audience. You're following the NFL. You're such a big fan of lacrosse. We'll get to that. We've got so much to talk about. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Anyway. Ball of energy. In the movie, Eric laminsoff uh we introduced to him i think the first sequence we see of him is with his mum he's just exiting and she says are you going to watch those are you going to come back and watch days of our lives later on he said of course we have to find out what which twin murdered ronaldo yeah and then he goes back to the house yeah and we see a snippet from days of alliance he's watching it with his mother and uh r and Ronaldo walks into the room
Starting point is 00:14:25 and the nurses say it couldn't be we killed you and he goes do you honestly think two amateurish nitwits could kill the great Ronaldo
Starting point is 00:14:31 and then Kevin James says I told you so no I called it he says I called it come on Tim you gotta learn these lines mate no
Starting point is 00:14:39 she says that he says I told you so you did you called it oh god you called me yeah I did. Anyway, but that's not what he called it all. It isn't.
Starting point is 00:14:48 He clearly thought that one of the twins had murdered Ronaldo. And Ronaldo was dead. Unless at some point in his action-packed morning between joyriding on the bus and going to Kmart, he called his mum and he'd come up with a theory. He'd been ruminating on it. Fuck, that's intense. And he said, Mum, I don't think Ronaldo got murdered. I think the twins conspired to try and kill him,
Starting point is 00:15:06 but he evaded death somehow. And he's doing a lot of stuff. And he'll re-emerge in this episode. And there was even a deleted scene that takes up even more time of him buying a frozen pretzel when his inn came out, which is actually kind of a funny scene.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I thought it was funny. No, but the thing is, I think with the deleted scenes is that we watched them and they were a breath of fresh air from the stale meal that we're getting served up week after week. I'm just going to whack my shining light in right now. You do it.
Starting point is 00:15:31 You ready for it? It's Stone Cold Steve Austin portraying Tommy Kavanagh, our antagonist to the film's star, Adam Sandler. If you could call any of the characters an antagonist. Taylor Lawton is an antagonist. Yeah, he is. But yeah, so is Kavanagh. I wonder if there's like a relationship between them two. Anywho, my shining light is simply
Starting point is 00:15:54 Stone Cold Steve Austin saying the words sack of potatoes. Sack of potatoes, yeah. What does he say? You like, you land me one on the chin, I'll go down like a sack of potatoes. I'll go down like a sack of potatoes. A southern drawl. Oh man,
Starting point is 00:16:06 actually he's Texan, eh? Yeah. His Texas accent is so good when he says sack of potatoes. It's so awesome. I fucking love it. You do. Have you got a shining light this week, Guy?
Starting point is 00:16:17 I was just trying to think of one. I know I came up with one during the film, but it's completely evaded me since. We can come back to it. I did enjoy, from memory, I did enjoy from memory I did really enjoy I think I've said it before
Starting point is 00:16:26 when they're at the quarry on the clifftop and they're doing the smack talk like it's Taylor Lawton and his crew versus Adam Sandler's crew and David Spade
Starting point is 00:16:34 does an insult and then he turns to them and he goes waggles his tongue inside his mouth and he's like doing his little jazz fingers I thought that was
Starting point is 00:16:41 pretty funny nice little ad-lib from David Spade which is funny because that ad-lib from David Spade is Which is funny because that ad-lib from David Spade is really similar to the bus driver one from Adam Sandler. But Sandler's one we detest for its laziness. So are we really double standardising...
Starting point is 00:16:56 It's possible. The boys, the lads. Adam Sandler doesn't make a noise and it's also the focal point of the shot. David Spade's is an Easter egg that he's tucked in there. That's true. That's true that's true um this brings me to an interesting point because for about the last dozen watches or so
Starting point is 00:17:10 i've experienced this weird thing with the movie now where i physically can't pay attention to what's in focus told me about this and i can only look at the background now so like extras or set there's a lot to see whatever and um i don't really have any anything to extrapolate on that but it's just an interesting phenomenon that if you watch a movie enough times and i assume this is probably the same if you study a great piece of art for long enough you actually can't draw your eye to what's in focus anymore you just you you're always so attracted by trying to find a new element well i don't think you're trying to find a new element. Well, I don't think you're attracted to find a new element. I think it's pure escapism, plain and simple.
Starting point is 00:17:48 I think you're just trying to somehow climb through the action of the movie and into another world in which maybe you're following different characters. And this is why we've been speculating all morning. I've got such a terrible attention span. It's probably some sort of like neurological survival mechanism for me. It's amazing what the mind does when you put it under pressure. The mind is amazing, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:18:12 Like the brain will always try and look out for its best interest. It's not always the best at doing it. That's the thing. I was having a discussion with someone recently about adrenaline. And when, you know when you're in a sort of a,
Starting point is 00:18:23 you get on stage as well sometimes when you're in a moment, like a do or die moment and you have to act very quickly yeah and you feel like time slows down you have that sort of feeling of like suddenly everything and you see in clear focus yeah that's not your brain moving quicker that's your brain shutting down like every unnecessary extra bit that you're concerned with so like that's your brain literally just limiting your capacity to think to specifically that one thing that's confronting you in that moment that is awesome i'm living with two doctors at the moment so i'm learning a lot about like the different parts of the brain like the reptilian brain and how that fucking does i can imagine
Starting point is 00:19:00 that shit would be sending you spinning in circles. Oh, I love it. I love it. Okay, look, back to the podcast. I guess. It's time for Paddy Schwartz Party Time. It's Paddy Schwartz Party Time. It's Party Time with Paddy Schwartz. Now, Patrick Schwarzenegger does something very funny in the movie today. I assume he's been doing it in the rest of the movies. Not all the movies he's been in. I'm confident.
Starting point is 00:19:23 He's another guy who I've actually been sniffing around Paddy Schwartz on Twitter. I even chucked him a retweet the other day. Just trying to raise some awareness
Starting point is 00:19:32 with Paddy Schwartz. Imagine if we sat down and watched a movie with Paddy Schwartz, man. Fuck. He's another guy. Now, he's a Christian guy. So he's another guy
Starting point is 00:19:39 who I think might look at this as being a mean-spirited project. I'd say so. It wouldn't surprise me if Arnie was a Christian. He's quite a prominent figure in Republican politics, Arnie, so it works.
Starting point is 00:19:47 It would go hand in hand. Yeah. Anyway, so... Wait a minute. Is he? Or is he a Democrat? Maria Shriver was in the Kennedys. Nah, he must be a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:19:55 What am I talking about? Fuck, I'm going to Google that later. Oh, God. It's going to be an exciting afternoon in the world of Timbuktu. Patrick Schwarzenegger cocks an eyebrow in one of the scenes. And I believe the reason he did it, because it's not really in place. afternoon in the world of Timbatt. Patrick Schwarzenegger cocks an eyebrow in one of the scenes. And I believe the reason he did it, because it's not really in place. There's no place for him to cock an eyebrow. It's just because when he
Starting point is 00:20:12 applied for the job, and don't get this twisted, he took his CV in and applied for the job. Underneath the heading, acting skills, one of them said, can raise eyebrow on demand. And now the director, there was no call for this movement while shooting but patrick schwarzenegger thought look i got hired for this job not on my name but
Starting point is 00:20:30 on the back of my fully sick acting cv and i'll be damned if i'm not going to squeeze every single skill i have into this film and accordingly he cocked his eyebrow and that is how Paddy Schwartz parties Good on you guy I like that reading of his personality Because he still strikes me as a guy Who is trying really hard And they're my favourite people People who aren't necessarily the most talented But they're fucking hard workers Yeah you've got to respect a hard worker
Starting point is 00:20:58 When I was younger I always thought For me it took a while I was always quite lazy because i was naturally like okay enough at things to just get by without actually really putting in the effort and i always thought that eventually if you just do that good things will arrive well if you try or if you if you just like it like it's just you know opportunity will fall into your lap and i'd look at it that's terrible i know the universe has reinforced the worst elements of your
Starting point is 00:21:25 white privilege no no no well this is the thing I got a handle on it because you're absolutely right but then I was like nothing was happening and I was like
Starting point is 00:21:32 oh you've got to try all the time and then like it flicked a switch and suddenly when I used to look at people who tried hard
Starting point is 00:21:39 I'd be like you should try less hard and we should hang out I was like oh you've got to try hard at everything little life lesson with Guy Montgomery I dig that, oh, you've got to try hard at everything. A little life lesson with Guy Montgomery.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I dig that. You've got to try hard. Conan O'Brien said a good thing about it. About trying hard. When he got booted off the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Yeah. It's like, work hard. Or maybe it was a bloody graduation speech at Stanford or something. Work hard, be kind to people, and amazing things will happen.
Starting point is 00:22:04 That's what Conan O'Brien says. Did he in that speech have a bit about how he talked about, like, be nice to people because you never know who you'll end up working for or who will be your boss? I think so. Was that? It was insane. I think it was a commencement speech because he did a big, he just ratted off a shit ton of jokes and then just
Starting point is 00:22:19 flipped it at the end and was like, boom, and some truth. Yeah, I remember being in one of those, what are those hats called the graduation caps had the square boards the hat they've got a name the university hat it's definitely got a name don't forget your university hat you're graduating today um speaking of university lacrosse we've never really talked about this but the college kids they show up to the. They show up. And actually in the car as well, one of them's carrying a lacrosse. What's the terminology for it?
Starting point is 00:22:49 A racket? Yeah, I'd call it a stick. Stick. I mean, I don't know the proper terminology. You do some damage in a fight with a lacrosse stick, by the way. I don't know how they weren't using those more. I mean, it was an all in all, an out and out fight. We had an exchange student when i went to uh high school
Starting point is 00:23:06 in wellington who was from america and he kind of brought a bit of lacrosse in and so we we got nets and shit with sticks or whatever they're called and we played a little bit but just like i think we start off with tennis balls because if you use the full ball and you fuck up that shit will hurt well it's a quite an a hard ball is it yeah I think so it's kind of like I think you use a similar one to like a field hockey
Starting point is 00:23:29 you know how that is hard yeah it's plastic but super hard that seems insane yeah but you gotta get distance that's the thing
Starting point is 00:23:35 if it was any softer it wouldn't have the weight to carry it it's a fully sick sport it looks pretty cool I've seen it on ESPN they play it in college and they broadcast the games
Starting point is 00:23:43 oh huge I don't know why it doesn't translate to a professional sport. Because it's ruthless, bro. You're running around and it's highly skilled. You're running around with a stick and this ball just fucking throwing and catching and just clearing dudes out. I think it's real massive in certain circles. But I think it's got the stigma of being associated with real rich white college boys.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Is it like a collegiate sport yeah very much so which is which strangely is how rugby is treated in england because here in new zealand we it's like everyone's sport it's very it's everyone's yeah yeah and in rugby rugby sure is popular here in new zealand we do love it no one else loves rugby bro just us no no one no one else loves it like us south africa might i haven't been no they love they love rugby don't get it like they sell out alice park when the spring box that's true actually they do love rugby but like australians australians it's about number four or five england it'll be about four america it doesn't even america although we're going to
Starting point is 00:24:41 all blacks are playing a game in chicago and i watched the like trailer video for it fuck americans ramp up sports to a million like it's they put in just these insane like movie and television production values to the matchups like eagles all blacks and like fucking a shot of the skyline and bloody batman driving his motorbike or something there's no wonder their whole country's add they've just got so much like production everywhere for everything. Everything is highly produced. That's why I'm going to move there. You notice it bleeding
Starting point is 00:25:09 into sports coverage in Australia and New Zealand as well. Oh yeah. Because like all the build up, all the hype, the pomp and ceremony around sports games
Starting point is 00:25:16 is just getting out of hand. Nah, I'm into it man. It's bigger than the game. But. Should have been a rambling podcast. It's good to have one of those every now and then we've covered a lot of ground yeah it's been a real change of pace i think oh yeah fun fact i don't know if this is true i'm pretty sure it's true um i think america
Starting point is 00:25:35 still holds the own the like the most recent rugby uh olympic championship that i stood it in like very early 1900s 1930 or some shit No way And then they never did it again No way the All Blacks Would have lost back then I will look it up right now No don't look it up
Starting point is 00:25:50 It's not interesting enough No we've got to round this out We've got to do the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour Oh The Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour Is coming to take you away Coming to take you away
Starting point is 00:26:03 Take you away Take you away Do you want it or do i want i haven't come up with one but i'm happy to fuck i haven't either actually to be honest okay so the steve buscemi mystery tour is the segment of the movie in which we explore what injury could have possibly caused the symptoms described by steve buscemi or wiley in grown-ups 2 the facts we are given is he only has 40 feeling his body and his arms have been in the touchdown position for two years. I think what happened
Starting point is 00:26:30 is Steve Buscemi was riding a penny farthing which is one of those silly old bicycles with the big front wheel and the little back wheel which is
Starting point is 00:26:40 that's one of my favourite parts of Jackass is I think Ryan Dunn's like who designed this bike? It is so true. Who the fuck designed a penny farthing and got it across the line? It is insane.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Do you see how high they are? Like, just make a bike with fucking two of the same size wheels, bro. It's easy. Is it something to do with, like, the cogs and things? Like, the amount of workload and the physics and stuff that's going on to do with the fact that one wheel is big and one's little.
Starting point is 00:27:06 You might be right. But I mean, it just seems like... Well, there's no new thing in a regular bike though, right? No, I just do not see how someone didn't look at that and go, you need to make that front wheel smaller and that back wheel bigger and it'll be perfect. Anyway, so Steve Buscemi was showing off to Chris Rock and the gang on his penny farthing
Starting point is 00:27:25 riding it round and Adam Sandler was probably going what is ridiculous he's probably having the exact same conversation we just had and then Chris Rock goes
Starting point is 00:27:34 hey watch this and he picks up a stick and he runs across and he puts the stick into the spokes of the front tyre and Steve Buscemi goes tumbling over
Starting point is 00:27:42 the handlebars and lands with his arms and that explains the arms above thebars and lands with his arms, and that explains the arms above the head, he lands with his arms above his head because he's flailing, because we all know they're bad jumpers from the quarry and I guess that's how it happened A penny farthing
Starting point is 00:27:55 A penny farthing accident Classic, reeks of sandal Do you want to elaborate onto why Wiley was on a penny farthing in the first place at all? Because he left after high school. He used to get bullied by them
Starting point is 00:28:09 but after high school he left and joined the circus. So he picked up a lot of circus skills. He worked too. And now whenever he sees them he wants to show off he wanted to show off
Starting point is 00:28:15 his circus skills. He's got the look of a carny especially in this film. I was six years off but otherwise correct. It was 1924 when the last Summer Olympics
Starting point is 00:28:26 that the Rugby Union was in. Doesn't say. Oh, it does, but I'm not looking it up again. But the US won gold, and it's never been there again. Have we covered all of our segments? Yeah, man. We've got the shining lights, the Patty Schwartz party time,
Starting point is 00:28:42 the Steve Buscemi mystery tour. Again, I want to impress upon everyone the opportunity, importance, and our love for you sending in a little selfie of yourself listening to the podcast. Just because I'm bored, man. I want to see your pretty faces. I'm just curious about where and when people...
Starting point is 00:28:56 People might be doing this when they're going grocery shopping. Yeah. I mean... If you can't be bothered liking our Facebook... Do you think anyone's ever made love to the dulcet sound of the worst idea of all time? That's something Matt used to say all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:08 He said, uh, Matt, who I used to produce for on a radio show the last couple of years, he was like, he would always say, uh, it'd be like good afternoon.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Um, wherever you're listening. Um, if you're making love to the partner of your choice, that's so good. I really hope that someone has had sex. That's more likely because you have the radio
Starting point is 00:29:26 on in the background or you could have this on in the background and someone if you have had sex while listening to the podcast give us a yell but we don't need a photo
Starting point is 00:29:34 of that we don't need a photo of that in fact I'm going to go so far as to say don't send us a photo of that no selfies of that because that's not the that's not the angle
Starting point is 00:29:42 we're taking with this it's more out of curiosity, really. It is vanity, isn't it? Yeah. I guess the whole thing's a vanity project. Sure is. And it's over for this episode, so thanks for joining us. And if you can't be bothered going to the Facebook page to post your photo up,

Minutes after they took I From that bottomless pit But my hand was made strong By the hands of the almighty Move forward in this generation Triumphantly Oh, won't you help to sing This generation triumphantly. Oh, won't you help to sing? Are these songs of freedom?
