Hello, friends. As we put the finishing touches on our next exciting adventure for you,
we thought it was the perfect time to replay our second season of the podcast where we watch Sex and the City 2 every week for a year, hot off the back of the tragic news that and just like that will not be returning.
Please enjoy.
It's the worst idea of all time
It's the worst idea of all time
It's the worst idea of all time
Hello and welcome along
To what is categorically at this point in my life
The absolute worst idea of all time
My name is Guy Montgomery
And my name is Tim Bat
And Tim
What we're doing
Is unacceptable
You didn't enjoy that watch fella?
It wasn't even
Like last week
Where I actually felt anger and vitriol
This week I just
I just became deranged
I just
I couldn't interface
With what was being laid down
Yeah
I had trouble with that as well
And then I just started like
Really zoning in
And then zoning back out
I noticed things I'd never seen before
What episode is this?
This is this?
This is the...
24.
4, right.
Jesus.
So, I'll just kick off with this as a little thing I noticed.
Have you ever seen before the fact that when Siriuska Parker's talking on a cell phone,
there's a pink piece of cloth that they put between her face and the iPhone?
No.
It's real weird.
Every time she's doing a phone call, there's this, like, yeah, it's a piece of cloth that's always there.
I don't know what that's protecting from.
I reckon maybe she's a germaphobe.
Oh shit, do you reckon?
Wouldn't that just...
Wouldn't be willing to work around it?
You'd be better off disinfecting the surface of the iPhone, though, surely.
I suspected it was something to do with, like, chafing
because they would shoot for so long with those fake phone call scenes.
Chafing?
Yeah, smooth.
It's smooth glass.
You can't chafe on glass.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I'm spitball in here.
I don't know.
I think...
I think maybe it's either Sirius Capagal or the character of Kerry Bradshaw as a germaphobe.
And I actually respect that.
I had a friend who used to wipe, he used to wipe down everything.
What did you do?
He'd put napkins across the whole table at McDonald's.
And napkins underneath everything on the tray before he could eat it.
It was insane.
Isn't it funny how you get people like that in life who are very particular about things like germs and that sort of carry on?
But they'll still eat at McDonald's.
They'll still go there.
They'll still eat the food.
but they'll just find how to make it work for them.
We're very adaptable.
Well, then this guy, about, I don't know, a year later
when he was going through a binge drinking phase at university,
drank a cup of his own vomit.
So it's like, what's it all for?
Nothing.
Wow.
I knew a guy at a party once who ate a tiny little bit of his own poo for like 12 beers.
Oh, that's the...
From memory, he never even got the beers.
That is promised
Of all the sort of story swapping
And things I've heard
Across everyone's university career
Eating your own poo
Yeah
That's for 12 beers
That's probably the lowest
Yeah
It took him a long time
To shake that
From his sort of persona
Yeah
Well
It didn't sound like it was forced
Like he wasn't a victim
No
From the telling that I heard of that
That's a voluntary decision
Yeah
I hear that it was
Sort of a contractual obligation
that he entered into of well relative soundness of mind and uh you know no coercion physical threats
of violence or anything you don't come back from that it's hard to he's he's made a good go of it
but it's i would estimate you know the guy do you still talk to him uh i don't he lives in a different
town than the one i live in he doesn't do you think does he have a spouse do you think um i know
that he was with a partner for a very long time and i believe they're still together yeah do you do you know
if the partner knows that the person that she's with or he's with ate their own shit.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
She's aware, because she's been on the scene for a very long time.
I've done embarrassing things in my time.
In fact, I'm on record on this podcast as having shat myself as recently as within a year ago.
But I can live with that knowledge.
I don't think I could walk around knowing I've eaten some of my own.
We've gone, like, blue very quickly.
Just FYI on that note of when.
you shat yourself when we went to Los Angeles last year for the first season.
Are you cool with the fact that I've started telling that story on stage?
Because I have and I am naming you every time I tell it.
That's news to me, Tim.
Sorry.
I probably should have to check that out with you first.
I'm okay with it.
That's good.
I always think that the, um, I always think that shitting yourself stories kind of at the possession
of the person who shat themselves in saying that though.
never occurred to me to say it on stage so bloody lather up mate and get involved sorry mate
it's your story but it just it came out one night and it was it was it worked quite well so
we're running with that at the moment look that's okay if you haven't listened to the podcast before
it's not usually this entrenched in feces although pretty much it's a podcast in which timbat
and myself gar Montgomery watch and review the movie sex in the city two every week for a year
which is roughly about 52 weeks
too long for the podcast to be happening
Now funnily enough though
At one point I wrote a little song during the movie
Which was pretty much
It was called
This is a bowl of shit in the middle of my day
This is four women shitting in a bowl
In the middle of my day
I don't remember melody
I'd just like to remind everyone as well
That we're still on opposite sides of the world
So guys in Edinburgh in the thick of the world's greatest performing arts festival right now.
I'm in New Zealand.
What time is it where you are?
Right now it is quarter past 12 a.m.
It's quite late.
Do you feel alone?
Very much so.
Zoe's actually left town for about a week.
So this is...
For another man.
Do you know what I've done?
For a better life.
Yep.
well no for work firstly but secondly
okay i mean obviously that's the lie you'd feed someone
anyhow my night this evening has been going to the latest judd appetow rom-com by myself
not recommended to do that and then following that up by watching sex in the city too
in my bedroom by myself with everything switched off for two and a half hours
fucking terrible terrible choice of evening events
yeah you haven't done well
I want to hear your song
cheer me up mate
it was part of like a half hour stream of consciousness
melody I was creating
it was sort of like
for a woman chitting in a bowl
in the middle of my day
I can't actually recapture it
because I literally sang
if anyone I actually thought
it's a shame we don't use our phones
because I could have periscoped this to people
I like was
properly going bananas today
really did you lose your grip
more so than previously
I was yelling
I was yelling at the girls
oh no
literally yelling at my
what were you saying
what were you on about
just like no
you don't get to introduce
the pro you don't get to say that
like a lot of what they're doing
they haven't earned the right
they haven't earned the right
to crowbar in feelings
yeah
into this vacuous hole
vacuous hole
vacuous hole
vacuous hole
we'll get to that
but I do want to hear your song first
I tried to do it
I can't recapture it
it was just like of the moment
but pretty much I wrote down
I started writing down the lyrics
as I was singing it
and I got confused
between the writing and the singing
so in my book
I've written four women in a bowl
and then in parenthesis shitting
and then in the middle of my day
and like that's that's a note
obviously it's of the time
but you know if someone was to find
this diary or this
whatever it's this joke book
I don't know what you'd call it at this stage
I mean these are the etchings
of a mentally unstable person
I imagine if Edinburgh Scotland
went Pompeii all of a sudden
and that was like a significant
record of human activities
captured forever in volcanic ash
and they were like what were people up to
back in the day
they were writing abstract poetry
about women in film
and they seemed really pissed off about it.
I'd be frozen with a microphone in my hand
and tears streaming down my face.
It was so fucking awful this week, man.
It was uniquely, like, just a really bad time all around.
I get what you're saying,
because last week it was like, there was anger.
There was anger...
It was venom.
Yeah, it was like, there was anger permeating
the entire watch last week,
and all directed it
at Patrick Michael King,
which I think was warranted.
When you put yourself on that triple threat title for the CREDs,
you know,
director, producer, writer,
oh we,
you are shouldering the blame
that one's a flop, mate.
You always say that's a red flag.
I also thought,
I don't know if either of us have noticed it before,
but the first line where Carrie's talking about moving New York
and she goes,
I like to think of it as B.C.,
which does it move to New York?
Before Carrie.
Before Carrie.
I mean you know you're in trouble
So she's at the outset of this film
She set herself up as a literal Christ figure
Which is incredible because
And no
There is precisely zero sacrifices that she makes
Every whim that she wants to indulge she does
Let's go through it
She wants to go out to the film premiere
She drags her husband along
Who doesn't want to go
Who's just been at work all day
She wants to go to Abu Dhabi
She just does
I'm so on board with what you're saying
I found Carrie to be a real villainous figure in this in this watch
I thought she's just she's running riot
there's no impulse control on that woman
she's bloody running into ex-boyfriends and patching them on the mouth
she's married what are you doing Carrie
and like to no consequence still has the goal
to call out Bigfoot not picking her up from the airport
yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry
did you forget what you did
and then Charlotte
she just fucking rips Charlotte
like several new assholes
what were once two wonderful
fleshy cheeks
smooth as a baby's bottom
because of that fantastic
moisturiser they presumably
get given to use on set
she just puts maybe
fires in seven to eight new assholes
and then she has the gall
when they're dealing with Samantha's legal problems
for fucking some time-travelling
Danish architect on a beach
she just rabbits on and on
about all the fucking initiatives
for cheating on her husband
and then she goes oh yeah
And P.S. as an addendum to this, I'm really sorry that you were right and I was going to cheat on my husband and that I pinned it all on the fact that you're insecure about your relationship.
There isn't enough attention paid to the fact that what she says to Charlotte is fucking brutal.
Like when she's getting in that lift and she just says, oh, everyone's cheating on their partners because your marriage is in trouble.
It's the fucking elevator door. You're on holiday, mate. Can you rain it in? Can you fucking just take it down?
down a notch she has no control
it's funny as well that you say
that there's not enough made of this
I'm pretty sure at this juncture Tim
that the only people who have the
I mean the daunting
opportunity laying in front of us
mate yeah it's pretty much
down to us I don't know
how this is renting anymore I don't know
what the numbers of watching it are
I mean
last week we put out a call
we said to anyone who just had
two and a half hours of their life
and a life so glorious that they were okay with feeling really sad for that amount of time
please watch the movie so you can understand um do you want to hear one i think i would love to hear one
i felt the response was a little bit underwhelming and do you know how much i respect that
yeah really stoked to hear that everyone way to be living balanced happy lives i'm so proud of every
i'm so proud of you listener because you you're right to ignore us we're not and we're not
well, all right? In the midst of our
aggressive fervor
for you to say, do you know what?
I don't know that these two guys are making the best
life suggestions for me right now.
I'm not going to do that. You are on
the money. One man who has taken
our calls and pleased to
watch the film is a guy called Mike
Criko, who got in touch with us
and this is what he sees right from the
horse's mouth. Holy shit.
I took your advice from the last podcast and watched
the movie. What the fuck?
It is the worst. It's racist, homophobic
sexist, hand-fisted in its dealings with social issues and just awful writing.
I couldn't get through it in one sitting and I have no idea how you guys have done it.
I legitimately cheered when coffee guy appeared, but it instantly felt sad again because I saw how
much of the movie remained. There are so many things wrong with this film and it makes me
mad. My appreciation for what you guys have done is increased dramatically, has increased
dramatically. So that's nice. Well, is it, I like that your appreciation,
for what we're doing is increased.
Someone made a giff of Coffee Guy and put it on Twitter this week.
I was deeply upset.
I think it's great that they isolated the moment and have immortalized it
and pretty much reduced what is watchable of the film into one seven-second loop.
But knowing that I have to do it for about, I don't know, 70 hours more.
Hey, but you found out a fun fact about Coffee Guy.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I did.
So I looked him up in the credits, right?
Yeah.
So what does he credit?
What is he credited as?
In Sex in the City, too, Coffee Guy is credited as Coffee Shop Guy.
Uncredited.
Coffee Shop Guy, okay.
I think that's a pretty good name for him.
So we've done pretty well by putting him by default under the label of Coffee Guy.
We were only one word off the production, shish.
Yeah, it was implied he was in the coffee shop.
He was in the first movie, also in an uncredited role, as Elaine's friend.
Now, sadly, as someone who is not really familiar with,
any of the sex
of the city franchise
preceding this film
which does seem
ludicrously unfair
as I say it out loud now
I don't know who Elaine is
but I know this guy is
in some way
he's got a
I don't know
either Michael
I was going to say
he has dirt on Michael Patrick King
and keeps leaning on him
to get in the movie
but it's just occurred to me
maybe the reverse is true
maybe Michael Patrick King
has got
incriminating information
on every single person
involved in the production of this film.
Would not surprise me in the slightest if I found that out.
That's probably one of the most plausible reasons as to why it was made right now.
Though, I mean, there's no getting around the fact that our four leading ladies
all would have made a pretty substantial amount of money out of this film,
just by signing up to it, right?
Like, we can all safely assume they all came out of this like bandits.
Yeah, they did, and that they have to wear balaclavas in public now
because of the disservice they've done to movie making worldwide.
Now, one other thing I want to bring up,
just while you're talking about kind of the wider franchise and whatnot,
is I sent you a screenshot of something I saw online earlier this week
on like an Amazon review or something like that.
Someone's asking, where's Tate in a scandal that hitherto for will be referred to as Tategate?
So Aiden apparently has his son that he mentions at like the end of the TV series, I think.
I don't think he's in the first movie at all
So I think this is like one of the
Maybe the last season
One of the final episodes of the TV show
And he talks about his son Tate
Now he names his three boys
When Carrie runs into him
And they have dinner together
Homer, Wyatt
And
Not Tate
Yeah not Tate
Another one is not Tate
Which is what they call him at the Aiden dinner table
So they were going
What the fuck has happened to Aiden's son
And, like, there's potentially a really tragic sort of subplot that's being alluded to
by the fact that Tate's no longer in the picture.
Aidan's not talking about him.
It's a goddamn tragedy.
But it's also a tragedy that Carrie cares so little about what's going on in Aiden's life.
A man she was formerly, I understand, briefly engaged to, maybe, or something.
Fucking didn't even, like, question it.
They were flirting so outrageously.
I really don't think that any of that family's...
stuff was registering. I mean, he takes out a photo and shows the kids to carry, but I don't think
that that's an adorable family was going through a head. I think it was like, wow, I'm pretty sure
you've lost a son along the way. I'm sure that it was heartbreaking for you. I don't know how,
and I don't know why, but I have a funny feeling that the Rat King Brady is somehow involved in this.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear of Tate maybe being taking as some sort of underling. I think,
I mean, I think
maybe Tate
faked his own death
to avoid any involvement
in the Sex and City 2 franchise.
Right.
I think Tate,
who presumably was quite young,
maybe two or three,
but precocious to say the least.
Yeah.
Maybe somehow
wrote himself,
this is the actor who plays Tate,
who's also coincidentally called Tate,
yeah.
Sort of fraudulently
staged his own death
and somehow got the news in front of
Michael Patrick King
to ensure that he would no longer be involved
in the franchise and obviously
he didn't, Tate didn't want us to dig this up.
Michael Patrick King, it didn't occur to him
because he just took it as red
that the actor and character Tate had been killed
and he's probably gone on to work
you know, in some sort of underworld
mafioso franchise
alongside our Rat King
who every week
I just want to see more and more from.
I know.
I've got a hunger for Brady.
Guy, I've got a hunger for Brady that I can't quash.
There's no quelling it.
I need more Brady.
I need more Brady in my life.
I need the animated series of what Brady the Rat King's up to.
I want an entirely CGI created spinoff.
Like maybe just maybe a fan-made web show, you know, of what Brady's up to in the sewers.
I want him in my life.
I want more Brady.
I think just anything else.
I think anything else.
I don't, two and a half hours, right?
It's a long time.
It is.
And I just,
there was,
I think it was 45 minutes and I'm not,
I'm not overestimating how long I spent singing to myself today.
I think there are 45 minutes of chants and songs today in the Montgomery camp.
And that's a lot.
I mean,
I chant and sing to myself,
you know,
when I'm bored or whatever sometimes.
But 45 minutes of sustained chanting.
inspired by what was happening on the screen in front of me,
there's a line that's being crossed here.
And I just, I don't, I don't know what, I don't know what we meant,
I don't know what we meant to do about this.
I don't, I don't, I just, Tim, we're not even halfway.
Yeah, I know.
Sometimes I feel fine about it.
And this week, I just, I'm so, yeah, I'm just scared.
I got big pangs of fear as well watching it this time.
I was like, fuck me, Struth.
I can't believe we're not even halfway, like, for the 50% mark.
It's like, because it gets incrementally worse, the more, like, everything's gone.
We've, we've derived all it, we've juiced that orange, there's nothing left.
There is a husk where an orange skin once existed.
It's all gone.
Rung the Sex and the City 2 sponge dry.
It's all gone and we've got to watch it another 20, what, seven, eight times?
What, I would love to see them.
I would, like, I think the movie, it would be.
improved but it would certainly be a more
honest exposition of the production
if we could remove all of the foley
all of the music so all
we get is dialogue
I think
do you have any concept for how fucking
barren this movie would be were it not
for soundtrack soundtrack is doing
so much of the heavy lifting in this film
and I think that's why I want to see it
I just want at least
it would be honest
can you imagine working the sound desk
and being given this film without
any of the audio underlay and being like you've given it and Michael Patrick King's like
okay so you're going to think I'm crazy we're still going to release it and I'm going to be
like 100% honest with you right now 90% of the work is on your shoulders we've done what we can
I need you to fix this I need you to fix this now and then the guy's like what he want me to do
and Michael Patrick King just said I don't know just put some vaguely Middle Eastern moving
sounding music underneath
like all of the stuff
in Abu Dhabi
for a start
just in case any of the audience members
dip out and forget that the girls
aren't in New York City anymore
fuck man I don't even
I just fuck just fuckety fuck
fuck fuck you make me sick
gone middle like a candlestick
can't get enough of it
I was
I was wearing
what happened to pink
pink was like one of the most
significant artists of our generation
and I have not heard hide nor hair
out of her ranges. She chose maybe
to fade into the recesses of pop music or
our finger is not the pulse like it used to be.
I actually wrote, I think it would have been
in year seven, I would have been
11 years old maybe. I wrote
a music assignment on Pink
and I remember it vividly
because the last sentence I wrote in
my music assignment about Pink
was after the release of her debut album
and the last sentence I wrote was, right now
everything looks rosy in the world of
pink. Jesus, you're good.
such an early age the talent was all there just wasn't fully formed yet i couldn't disagree more but
thank you very much um the thing is with pink though and i've had this conversation with people
believe it or not before but she was kind of like uh you know she was the biggest artist
of our time because she was so crossover the moms loved her the girls loved her the boys could
kind of get into it a bit as well you know it was she was huge she was selling records for so long
I don't know.
She was big.
I don't know that she was the biggest pop star.
I don't know at any point if she was sort of categorically number one globally.
Here's another bit of audience feedback from someone who for some reason watched the film and got in touch with us.
So I say thank you to Joseph Adams, who said seeing coffee guy was great and almost nothing else was.
I think Michael Patrick King should have one of those Muslim call to prayer speakers hooked up in his house.
and when it goes off he has to drop to his knees
and apologise to the universe
for bringing this film into existence.
Thanks, Joseph.
It's dramatic,
but I like that you've brought in elements
from the film into your punishment.
I know that we said to watch it
and I know that it's too late for some of that you have.
Hearing you read these back,
I'm feeling guilt like every single user review
that you fire at me
makes me, I'm racked with more and more
guilt.
Yeah, I definitely take it back.
And I already feel bad about it.
I don't, I'm so confused.
I don't think I take it back.
I do.
I take it back on both of our hubs.
It was a cruel thing to say.
We said it in the heat of the moment.
It's like when your parents are going through a divorce and they say things they don't
mean.
That's what was happening with us.
We said a lot of things.
We don't mean all of them.
Maybe, in fact, not maybe.
Definitely do not watch this film.
Sex in the City, too.
There's nothing good for you.
I think maybe sit down to it.
What you could do,
How long was the episode of Sex and City?
It was on HBO?
Were they an hour or were they 30?
I think they were an hour.
Break the movie into 30 minute increments.
So what is that?
Five episodes.
You won't enjoy yourself.
Let's think about that.
Like, what are the episodes as they are in the film?
So the first half hour is basically the wedding.
It's the two, it's the gay couple getting hitched and how that reflects on Carries.
marriage as well right i think that's our first step yeah so that's pretty much it's as sex in the city
challenging uh you know what what is a marriage i think that they're channeling the advent of gay
marriage as a sort of a um well you know we could all rewrite the we could all rewrite the rulebook
for ourselves sort of piggybacking in on the goodwill of gay marriage and hopes that people can
get invested in Carrie and Big's seemingly fine marriage if Carrie just fucking stop
moaning about having eat takeout.
That really fucked me off this week, Tim.
I can't do this again episode yet.
That Carrie gets so upset.
What really spins her in circles is when Big comes home from work with the Sobu Noodle
Takeout.
Yep, Sobu Express.
Sobo Express.
And he puts it on the table.
And she doesn't notice that.
And she says, we're going to go to this movie premiere.
And he goes, oh, yeah, I'm pretty.
tuck it out.
Yeah, yeah.
You go, though, kid.
You go, and he does call her kid.
He's a condescending weirdo.
And she goes, oh, I want to go with you.
And he's like, nah.
And he's being reasonable.
And she's like, she's been kind of reasonable as well.
She goes, okay, we won't go.
All right, I'll go with Stanford.
You don't have to come.
She looks at the table.
She sees that Big has bought what looked like delicious takeout Japanese noodles for two.
And she flips her lid.
She pours him half a gallon of whiskey and says,
binge drink, you son of a bitch.
That's how we're getting through this marriage.
It's how we're getting through this night.
I refuse to sit in a house with you and eat takeout.
It's like, where is the inn for an audience in that moment?
I would love, I would love to sit in a house with Big
and watch the financial news and hear about the woes of his life
and eat fucking takeout noodles.
And then maybe cap off the night with the literal greatest episode of Deadliest Catch
in the eight seasons
the spin on the year
as we would lead to believe
in that bang and teaser
they headed on the tally
I want to watch
Deadliest Catch with that man
they keep picking at that thread
of like
when Carrie says that
when Carrie accuses big
of not watching TV
and not a black and white movie
I'm like
you are you are grasping
yeah
you're just looking at something
to be outraged
about at this point Carrie
so let's just cool
call it down um i'm abandoning this episode thing i can't be bothered going through all five
what i do okay no we'll do it at pace we can do it at pace we can do it episode two
so episode two is i guess them going to the film premiere and then running into mylie sarash
that's a fun little episode isn't it funnily enough oh wait no they've got to pick out the
dress first but yeah sorry you go uh yeah it was them getting ready for the movie premiere
while carrying big's relationship crumbles was the second and so funnly enough my shining light
was buried in that
in that moment
a line
I had not heard before
when
when Miley Cyrus
and is on the
rec cupboard at the same time
as Kim Kutrell
and they're sharing
that wonderful outfit
I heard off mic
someone just yelling out
is that your mother
yes
had you heard that for the first time too
I mean
I don't think it's a particularly
funny or great line
but it was just nice
to find something different
in you
in that moment
definitely
I'm with you man
it's like the
cell phone cloth thing
it was just like
hey
hadn't noticed that before
well you
you were wearing headphones
this watch eh
no I had a little
Bluetooth speaker
sitting on top of a large glass
do yourself
do yourself a favour mate
chuck on some good quality
headphones next time
there's a lot of
like panning
that goes on with the soundtrack
a lot of left to right
with those crazy
bongo type drums
and satas
it's a lot of fun
all right
I'll do it
for you um so episode two is yeah uh Samantha taking on the fashion industry by her saying
i'm 50 fucking two and i'll wear this dress that my eyes is wearing too and it'll be awesome
episode three is uh they all decide they're going to ibubi and they account for that and they
make plans i and i reckon they kind of yeah they get there yeah and we've got miranda
struggling with her mother issues and also charlotte struggling with her mother issue so that's
the mother episode yeah and uh obviously samantha struggling with her hormones and carrie just
sort of pottering around being a general nuisance yeah uh then our fourth episode i guess is them
just fucking kill on time and abu davi it's just a holiday yeah which it is what you're
supposed to do for so much of the movie it's just like yeah we forgot to like add this is and
those were the moments when i thought it'd be really nice to hear the movie without any sound effects
or additional audio, just hear the dialogue
because I'm like, that would really
sort of shine a very
ruthless light on what is a harrowing
and sad trip.
Fuck, it would drag.
And then I guess the final episode is
just all of the resolution crap.
We find out that the nanny's gay
and we find out that big border diamond
for Carrie to reward her infidelity
and we find out who the fuck cares.
God damn it.
Fuck.
none of those episodes are watchable
if I had to
I would watch the first episode
it at least resembles the TV show
the rest of it is just like
it's just
it's like a
you know if a body
dies in the ocean and it sort of
it gets bloated
water bloated yeah
that's what this movie is
it's a water bloated corpse of a film
wow what a visceral metaphor
yeah I'm sorry it's it's dark
in blue.
Just like my feelings.
My shining light this week is the shirt that Aiden's wearing in the Soak.
Is it linen?
That lovely white shirt?
Yeah, it is.
And it's got an additional pocket too.
It's such a good shirt.
I really dig that shirt.
I think it's got quite nice little sort of knife pocket or a leatherman.
Yeah.
And he's a practical guy.
I think he could build stuff with his hands.
It's interesting that you say Leatherman because I've got a little Leatherman squirt,
which are the tiny little pocket ones
and I just broke,
I snapped a blade on it
just before the movie started
by accident.
I was trying to loosen a
flat head screw
and it was so tight
that it snapped one of the blades
in half.
How about that?
Yeah.
I reckon you could send that back.
Yeah, they seem like...
I don't know.
It didn't cost that much.
It was, you know,
I've had it for a while.
I don't think it's normal
for a screw
to be stronger than a leatherman.
Well, it depends how tight.
the screwers as always
but they're just the little ones
they're just a little we lose them there's neither
here nor there we're running out of time Tim
yes we are um hey look
one thing that I just I just
I have to bring up because
we don't pay enough attention to this
and it's such a bizarre feature of the movie
that Suzanne Summers book
just keeps popping up
it's at the start of the movie it's in the middle
it's at the end the fucking Arab woman have got
a copy Samantha's hammering it
they really hammer it at the end
when all of the woman in the room
start whispering the name
Suzanne Summers
as they're pulling out the book
which is very unusual
I haven't made in many book club meetings
but I'm pretty sure the tradition
isn't you pull out the book
that you're reading while you all whisper
you don't go
Mark Twain Mark Twain Mark Twain
Mark Twain
that's not normal
It's fuck it
It's just it's
Hamfisted is a word
that again comes to mind
it's brutal man
and it's just so odd
because you don't
I mean in terms of product placement
I don't see a lot of books and movies
that generally I think
They share audiences.
I want, I'm going to buy you that book.
I actually, I had to reveal that to you because you kind of, you were going to buy it for me or something.
And I had it in my diary to buy you that book for your birthday, for your present.
Like, I had it a week before your birthday so I could make sure I get it in time.
I'm not going to do it now because I won't be surprised.
My pledge to you is I will read that book within the week of you giving it to me.
Yeah, it looks big, man.
The movie makes it out to be a real tone.
I've got it, I've got a big appetite for knowledge.
Do you expect Suzanne Summers' book about the,
navigating through menopause is a real page turner, or do you think it'll be a bit dull?
I don't know that it will resonate with me, but I mean, I'm at least curious to see what all the fuss is about.
I'm watching upwards of 15 people every week rave about it.
Very good.
Although it does seem to me that pretty much all it tells you is to, like, increase your hormone intake.
And eat yams.
Get yacked up on yams.
Look, let's round things off there.
Guy, tell everyone about your fabulous show as well.
Let's get more...
What is happening over there, mate?
People are coming into the house.
Okay.
They're looking at me.
I look sad.
Yeah, you are.
We haven't even indulged what the coffee man might be happening.
Oh, my God.
Well, let's...
Let's...
A squebida, you know?
Let's just a shubida.
Let's squebidda.
Let's squebidi bab, bab, ba.
Let's scuba.
Bada-ba-ba-ba-p-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-d-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hru-h. What's he doing? What's he up to you?
More than ever. This guy, obviously, has just occurred to him that he has been heavily sedated by Michael Patrick King, all right?
This is not a character. This is a real human being who's coming to consciousness live on set through the medium of coffee.
Michael Patrick King's one piece of direction for this guy,
or for the waitress serving this guy in the film,
was make sure you don't put any actual caffeine in there
because it will undo the effects of the rehypnal.
He'll come to consciousness,
he'll realize he's in Sex and City 2
after the awful experience he had during Sex and City 1.
Fuck.
So pretty much what we're witnessing is a man sedated,
coming to consciousness, live on camera, and walking out.
Walking off set, he doesn't want his paycheck,
he just wants to go home to his family.
It's pretty fucking meter, bro.
Quite dark.
It's pretty fucking accurate, too.
That is a dark roast, go on Montgomery.
His name, do you know what his name is?
Go on.
I think, I mean, I reckon we need to reach out of this guy.
I think we absolutely should.
Tom Stratford.
Tom Stratford is our new Tanya ice cream girl.
We need to find him.
Did you know,
Tom Stratford
grew up in the same town as Angelina Jolie
where she spent her early childhood?
I didn't know that before.
It's never good when your trivia on IMDB
is rooted in a very loose correlation to some other person.
Hey, plug your show, mate.
I can hear things that Whittles are turning at your place.
I need to get you out of here, back to your Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
There's people whispering all around me, whispering plans to watch shows.
Look, I'm still here in Edinburgh and will be for what feels like the rest of time.
it is
I'm doing a show every day

with my friend Rose Metafeo
it's called Rosematea
Gohame and Gohmerer of my friends

but a great way to get people through the
fucking door already a bunch of

which has been the most flattering
experience of my young
life please come along we're doing it for so long it's really quite ridiculous nice one okay bro
