Season two
Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time
Episode 27
My name is Tim Batt
My name is Guy Montgomery
And we are now in the 27 club
Yeah we are
With such illustrious company as Mama Cass
Jimmy Hendrix
Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse
Janice Joplin
We've made it
Some of the greats
I am ready to join that club
I'm almost than one right now
Because that was a very sad watch
I am pretty much ready in my own life
Tim
Well I am inclined to agree with you
Actually quickly
Well you know
Obviously Tim and I are still in different parts of the world
I'm currently in Sydney Australia
I got here last night
And I woke up, and of course my first point of order was to check in with my good friends, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.
And Tim, if I'm not mistaken, it's the sound of tropical birds and waves in the background.
Yeah, I'm coming to you via satellite from tropical Pouquet, Thailand, in like literally Paradise.
I'm in a five-star resort. It is sick.
I don't know if it's, I don't know if it'll get picked up on the microphone, but there's waves that have just been crashing.
um which has seeped slowly in around my headphones which has been giving me sex in the city too
for the last two and a half hours so you watched the movie outdoors today
yeah on our balcony um which faces the beach like i'll take a photo because it's
fucking unbelievable to be honest 30 degree heat 87% humidity for our american brothers and
sisters it's like 80 degrees Fahrenheit i'm in the lap of luxury and i couldn't be sadder
about it.
It's the same
percentage of humidity
for those
maths freaks
who were confused
there.
Well, I can be,
I'm in a pretty
different situation
so I
slept on a couch
last night at my
friend's house
and they all were
up and at him
early on
this morning
and now I just
sort of woke up
as they left
and turned it on
the movie.
I kind of feel like
I've done
something bad or naughty
like they've let me
in their house
and I've just
taken a shit in the lounge.
I hear
Yeah, yeah, I feel like I've really sullied this gorgeous, well-manacured ground that I'm on by just shitting on it with this film.
It's just filled with sadness this week more than anything else.
It's just such a depressing, sad watch.
Like, it honestly, it took a lot to bring me down from the fabulous hold I've been having in this great little resort.
But it did it.
Mission accomplished.
Well, done, you bitches.
You got me again.
Didn't know you had it in you.
well yeah i i felt pretty sad i was my body's very confused as to what the time is as well so it was a real
energy journey as well as an emotional journey um i mean there's not a lot to enjoy there was a little bit
during the movie where it's sort of i was um i became quite zen i think i might as i can't
remember if i was speaking about this before but where it's sort of like you're in
such a, what I imagine it would feel like in the middle of a marathon or whatever when suddenly
your brain clicks over from being like, oh, this is so iduous and exhausting to like, you're just
sort of so stuck in the moment that your brain gets to wander down actual interesting or practical
avenues of thought. But the trouble was, as soon as I realized that, I sort of broke the Zen
like spell. Ah. So you've started meditating using Sex and the City too. Yeah. I mean, I think there is,
there was definitely a sort of familiar tinge to the movie this week
in the same way that I remember the experience with grown-ups too
and actually that might have been brought on very early on in the film
the wedding invitation that they reveal
for Stanford and Anthony's wedding tells us that the wedding is in Connecticut
yes and she says that in the voiceover as well
because it's one of the few places at the time when the film was made
that had same-sex marriage legalized.
Well, and I couldn't help but start getting really riled up
and excited at the prospect of Lenny and the boys gate crashing the wedding.
Holy shit, I forgot.
Oh my God.
What witchcraft is this?
Well, this is a thing, right?
That's an amazing find.
How have we not picked that up before?
I really don't know.
But I thought, you know, maybe Lenny knows.
Maybe Lenny was friends with Steve at university or whatever,
he knows he's coming in to see Steve at the wedding.
Steve's like, oh, yeah, you can come in and just don't make any ruckus.
And all the guys just show up and go ballistic.
And the thing is, I feel like, you know, they all share probably a similar sense of humor.
Like, you know, all the ladies are making those great classic homophobic gags at the wedding and big.
I feel like they could slide right in with that particular band of merry men.
I would love to see a movie where Lamansoff, Lenny,
everyone else is desperately falling over themselves
to try not to offend gay people
while having no experience with people
other than the redneck community they grew up in.
It would be such a delightful comedy.
Can you not imagine that big wedding moment?
Marzell Tov, where Carrie gives us that classic voiceover,
like it or not tradition creeps in
if Lamansoft just busted out
a piping hot burp snart
to celebrate the matrimony
There is something uniquely disgusting about
describing the burp stut as piping hot
that is visceral and disgusting
I don't know
I just made me gag
because this isn't really important to you listen
but Tim and I
have suffered through a technical hitch
when we planned to watch the movie yesterday
but it didn't time out
And accordingly, I spent about four hours of my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney
just thinking about all the different, like, just thinking about sex in the city too
and the whole, you know, what we're doing.
And I was growing up stewers creeping in there.
Take me through your notes because you wrote some stuff down, eh?
Yeah, I wrote some stuff on the plane.
So I started off trying to recount the plot, but I got bored.
I had hi I'm Carrie, I live in New York City
with all my friends and have done for quite a while now
we used to be tolerable but isn't it how funny
how time changes things
and then the next
plot point I had was we're all at a wedding
a gay wedding it is very important
we emphasise it's gay why is that you ask
well originally because we thought it might be a good opportunity
to celebrate marriage equality and show up aggressive we are
but the more we went on the more we discovered
it was a great opportunity to milk for laughs
Yeah, it's like in Broad City
What's the other girl's name?
Who's not Lana?
Abbey.
Abbey.
Abbey goes to Lana.
Sometimes you're so unracist
that you're actually just racist.
This movie's like that.
It's like they're so desperate to try and prove that homosexuality's okay
that they're definitely, definitely not okay with it.
Yeah.
So the thing is I wound up sort of trying to recreate all
these through lines between sex and the city two and grown-ups two.
Like, I was trying to figure out which grown-ups two character is which Sex and the City
two character.
Oh, yeah.
Have we played that game before?
I'm not sure if we have.
The strongest connection I made was Samantha and Higgins.
Well, because, like, they're the most likable probably.
All they're trying to do is get some, get some nooky or whatever they want, whatever
colloquial term they want to call it.
They've got quite similar hair.
Yeah, too.
It's kind of like wispy and blonde.
All this shit's happening around them,
and all they want to do is, you know,
bang the pizza boy or girl or whatever.
You'd be forgiven for forgetting ladies and gents at home
that Higgins is played by David Spade.
I don't know that you would be forgiven.
If you've made it this far run.
I'll forgive you, Guy, I will not.
That's how it stands at the moment.
And then it was like Carrie, I thought was Lenny,
just because they're the protagonist.
Yeah, and they're both kind of frustratingly presented as if you're supposed to care about them, but undeniably...
It's hard, too.
What's the word for, like, you can't sympathize with someone?
Because it's not unsympathetic, because that means they're not being sympathetic.
But, like, it's impossible to sympathize with them.
Horrible?
I mean, horrible is a pretty good synonym for unsympathetic.
Whatever it is.
But I'm sorry.
Keep going.
Lamansoff? Well, I mean, it was sort of a toss-up, but I thought Charlotte and Lamansov are probably the most similar, in that they're sort of, they're both just quite a menace to be around. Like, there's not, there's not a lot of positives to be gleaned from their company. And they're also destroying their relationships through, like, stunted development and inability to communicate. With Charlotte, it's in that she doesn't talk about any of her relationship.
affairs with Runkle, she just sort of...
You're going deep. I love it.
And with Lavinsoff, it's that he keeps fucking sneaking off to watch days of his lives
with his mum, sort of hanging out with his sweet-ass wife.
Yeah.
And, yeah, and then that sort of left just by virtue of being the only...
So then that makes, by that reckoning, that makes Steve Sally, doesn't it?
Miranda and McKenzie.
Steve, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Steve and Sally, yeah.
I mean, Steve and Sally, now, there's a movie.
If we could somehow get the rights to these characters.
Mrs. Lemonsoff and Steve trick it out.
I think they would be a dynamite couple.
I'll be the first to say it.
They probably went to some like frat or sorority party together at university with Lenny,
like, you know, and saw each other in passing, but nothing came of it.
This is the train in the night situation that should have been.
Yeah, I mean, ships.
What is they saying?
Whatever it is.
ships and trains travel by night too but they usually since they're on one rail they don't sort of
just glide past each other like ships imagine if they did though this it's sort of like something
happened at night what it would wind up like able to go through each other what would wind up being
it's like a harry potter plot it would be like a this would be like a sliding doors butterfly
effect sex in the city two grownups to mash up where we could unpack the backstories
and sort of see how how it could have been well i would rather
the opportunity to do so um but i don't think anyone's going to part with the rights to these
rich franchises that are clearly gearing up for more sequels do you think we're going to see
another grown-ups uh i wouldn't i wouldn't be right i mean i feel like adam sandler's just
chucking whatever he wants at that netflix deal so it wouldn't yeah he's got a what has he got to
fill up there seven movies is it that he signed yeah i think he's done too i almost watched the
cobbler on the plane i've heard such weird disparate
things about the cobbler because a couple of people are really standing by it but most people just
say it's a real wreck yeah well i watched i watched dead pod society instead which is actually quite
good that's probably a better choice yeah oh my god i'm sticking to my chair this is so bad
i haven't drank any water out here either so um i might sound a bit stupid it's just because i'm
like um medically dehydrated right now but i feel good because the movie's over now
Hey, did you notice?
Oh, you go.
At the start, I think that the movie's trying to tell us to pay attention to coffee guy.
Because in one of the first shots of the movie where Carrie's giving everyone's backstory
and how they're connected to her because the world revolves around Ms. Bradshaw.
And she says that Charlotte and her met when a homeless man dropped his pants.
And a truck drives past Charlotte at that moment where the camera is directly on her.
And what's in that truck?
Coffee beans, Guy.
The movie is directing us to pay attention.
it's putting a red flag there to say this is important pay attention to coffee and coffee related personas
for a movie about coffee i'm still so confident that none of the coffee cups contain any caffeine
whatsoever there's nothing in any of them and you will never convince me of otherwise they're so
obviously empty and i think we can especially bigs we can also definitely yeah definitely
big's not having any caffeine he's been miming just to maintain the illusion that he's got any money
whatsoever.
Hugely.
But, and more than that,
maybe that Michael Patrick King
has got everyone's sedated theory
runs a little deeper
and he's sort of banned coffee
outright from the set.
Huh.
And all the gals are like,
you know, it would be easier for us to act
in this scene if we actually had coffee
in our cups and he's like,
no!
But they're so docile
they can't actually like speak back
in the same sort of energy realm.
So they're just like,
why can't we have coffee?
He goes, you'll never understand.
I don't know
Do you think as a placeholder
Because the girls needed something
He just started dumping all of his cigar
Ash into cups
But they were like
You do know what
It'd probably just be easier
If they were empty
We'll imagine
Yeah that's classic MKP
He's a funny dude
Hey no shit man
Charlotte's Petrie
I've had bedroom smaller than that thing
I really took a good look at the dimensions
This week
I was like you guys are taking the absolute
Mackey with this thing. It's so
ludicrously big.
Well, yeah, I actually
I don't know what it was about the situation.
I felt, I don't know if it was
sympathy for Charlotte or myself, but the screaming
children when she showed herself in the pantry
really got to me. Oh yeah?
Yeah, there's something about it.
Yeah, I mean, I was
surrounded by screaming babies yesterday on the plane,
so maybe it was a hangover from that.
And I was sitting there, I was like
confused and tired and kind of becoming irate,
which is unreasonable. And I was like,
what you know with my knees pretty much next to my ears being like what are these babies
screaming about they're never going to be more comfortable on a plane is it was it while you were
in the ear or while you were not in the ear it was both because if it's when you're in the air
there's a lot of pressure yeah babies have shit ears well i thought it could also be because
they've found out maybe they've just sort of developed the consciousness to understand that
they'll never be as comfortable on a flight again and so it's a scream for the future
That's pretty bleak
A pretty bleak assessment of why a child might be crying on a plane
Hey I got a new continuity era this week
Which I was pretty proud of
You want to hear it?
Yes
In the slow motion shot with the Aussie rugby team
Who are there for the World Cup trials
Once again, can't stress this enough
Not a thing, couldn't even be a thing
When they've got the slow motion shot of them diving into the pool
them we hear about Samantha's diminished sex drive and how that is the end of the world.
Miranda's actually in the back of shot tucking into some food with a knife and fork and I say
bloody good on her because despite the fact that these girls are surrounded by food the entire
film, they're never seen eaten except in that one shot.
So she's tucking into a plate of a hope steak.
It was probably a defiant play by Cynthia Nixon against the very direct-ins-react.
from Michael Patrick King not to consume any caffeine or actually eat any form of food whatsoever,
less their energy weight them from their comatose and have them realize what's happening.
Do you think, oh, okay, let me check out what the continuity areas.
When you go back to normal speed, so it's not in slow motion anymore, she's drinking a tall cocktail.
So they're like two very different things that she's doing.
But you only notice that if you keep your eye on, old Professor Oaken see what he's up to in the back of shot.
But do you think Michael Patrick King, like, he just kind of, he's very confused about world cultures, and he heard something about Ramadan.
So he's like, this movie is eventually shooting in the Middle East somewhere.
So we can't have any coffee or food consumed anywhere on set.
And he's just kind of got all these weird, disparate cultural norms and kind of fuck them up and throwing them in the pot.
I feel like, yeah, he, I think he doesn't have, he's got a very loose concept on, like, grasp of time as well.
Because on the wedding invitation, it said July 24th,
and we've talked about how the timeline jumps all over the place.
But July 24th, which would mean, you know,
because it is July 4 when they're banging at the end of the movie,
and it's August at some point.
I mean, it's just...
August 3rd.
No, that actually makes sense.
If the wedding took place on July 24th,
when Carrie wakes up in the middle of the night from memory,
it's the 3rd of August.
So that's pretty...
No, it's fine.
Because Carrie said it's a few...
She says it's a few weeks of Sweet.
marriage with Mr. Big
like in between
there's so many weeks apart
I mean it's really
oh true
I also
I don't know
I've picked out some fun stuff this week
to try and make it okay
like I thought
I thought that maybe
maybe one of the problems
with the relationship
and this is probably just
from repeated doings
that's making me think about this
but every anniversary
Carrie gets big
a really awesome gift
and every anniversary
big just buys the
later's TV.
So he's just constantly trying to sneak a base and thinks that he could get away with it.
He just keeps, and she's like, you know it's going to be redundant in a year.
Why do you keep doing this?
No, no.
This one's got 3D technology.
This is going to be the next big thing.
You know how I got that full HD one last year?
Forget about it.
Burn it.
Throw it away.
You already did.
Because you got real mad at me and I slept on the couch for a month.
This one's got 3D though, baby.
Now put these glasses on.
and be transported to a world you've never seen before, a Jurassic World.
And he bought a Jurassic World.
Yeah, and it also had a built-in minisc player, and Kerry's just like...
God bless you for bringing up that beleaguered, too oft-forgotten technology.
Well, the thing that...
Sony tried to cram down our throats for so long.
This was Mr. Big's big idea, from his big idea...
Mr. Big's big idea of books, as he started...
Mr. Big... Hold on, you will get us that correctly.
Mr. Big's big book of ideas.
Yeah, so he's been buying up all the TVs in New York with whatever remains of their money.
And himself, he's been hand-fitting them with mini-disclayers.
Oh, that's good.
That's bloody good.
So that you can soundtrack your own episodes of Deadliest Catch,
or it happened one-nine, or whatever black-and-white film you might happen to be watching.
Do you know, so I used to, I had several mini-disp players, and they were fine,
except that the software that you had to use that Sony put out,
so it was like their early version of iTunes,
it literally broke three family computers that we had,
just kept installing it,
and it would destroy the machine.
It's so bad.
So I don't know what kind of,
I don't know what big would be playing at
trying to get these TVs out into NYC,
but I feel like it would be worse than,
you know, when everyone thought the computers would shut down
in Y2K, it'd be like he'd create his own,
mini-disc ushered in tech
apocalypse. Well the thing
is because there were other scientists, there's another
sign this week I found which
that big doesn't even have
a basic understanding
of finance or
anything. It's that the TV show is watching
when he throws the remote away. It's a CNN
show. I don't know if it's real or not, but it's called money
summary.
The show, as I understand it,
is pretty much just an
explanation from a man with white hair
and a suit of how
like what money is and how
an economy actually works?
The concept of money.
And he keeps trying to watch this TV show
every week, but Carrie never lets
him?
So is he trying, like he's somehow stumbled
his way through his good looks and deep voice
and confidence. He's swaggered his way
into a job that he's grossly
unqualified for and control of billions of dollars
and now he's trying to start up from economics 101
to figure out what exactly he's doing
when he goes to the office day.
after day.
So not only is he trying to get this bloody money disc and the TV business off the ground,
but at the same time he's just trying to understand what money is.
Good on him.
He's been winging it for too long.
Too many bosses in that situation or middle management would just continue to wing it.
But I say good on him for either having the fear that he's going to be found out and doing
something about it or the passion of self-improvement to try and learn what the fuck he's
doing every day while he's bashing keyboards.
Good on him.
Oh, man.
I'm just drained.
I feel like this movie sucked all of the muscles out of my body,
and I'm just a bag of flesh and bones.
Oh, I'd like to extend gratitude,
because I was definitely in the pits of despair last week,
and I think we really captured that on the microphone
and got that out onto the internet.
No, I don't want to go back there.
You stood up some real concern amongst the fans.
hey you stood up some real concern amongst the listeners i that's what i wanted to say i wanted to say
thank you very much for everyone who extended um some concern and uh support and just told me to stick
in there it's much it's hugely appreciated it's much appreciated it's a good thing um i want to
announce now and i'll do it at the end as well so you remember but i want to remind all y'all
that guy and i are actually gearing up to go back to los angeles
to do the podcast festival
which is in just a couple of weeks
I think just a couple of short weeks
it's on the 19th and 20th
unless I'm mistaken of September
and if you're not
able to go
which you know if you think about it
statistically
it's quite likely
is you
then you can buy a streaming ticket
for $25
but if you use the code worst
they only charge you 20 of their
US dollars
and you get to watch the whole thing play out
online plus get access to the video for three weeks to go back and watch at a time of your leisure
and it's like there are some big dogs at this festival the biggest dogs of all and i saw this
morning that uh andy daly's going to be the guest on spontaneous nation for the pod fest weekend
which is a joy to hear hey if you haven't got into pauliffe tompkins spontaneous nation yet
do yourself a bloody favor i don't even know who i'd be talking to because i assume if you're listening to our one
you know about podcast, so you'd know about that one,
but you've got to get in on it.
It's too good.
We've got a whole,
we've got a pocket of die-hard Sex and the City 2 fans
who don't know anything about podcasts.
Oh man, that would bring me great joy.
I'd like to think we're opening up a new medium.
We're inspiring fan fictions by proper Sex and the City 2 fans.
I want to see some Tim and Guy fictions.
That's what I would love.
You're greedy.
You're greedy.
You're a greedy, mate.
You're a greedy guy.
I know.
I know, I know.
But it would just like,
I'd really feel like,
imagine someone who wrote a fan fiction for you Tim penned by Guy Montgomery
okay
the year is 2016
the month February
Guy and Tim stop watching sex in the city too
then what
fuck I don't know I thought that was a pretty good fan fiction as it was
I get well it's more of
yeah okay we'll go with that
Everyone cancelled your literary works
A guy has nailed storytelling
Yeah
Don't bother writing anything ever again
Because nothing will be as good as what
Brevity is the soul of wit
Said Michael Patrick King
I've got a shining light for you Tim
Oh yeah I forgot we did that
Hit me with it
So
When Samantha and Nicky start having loud sex
At the big gay wedding
Of a big gay
Humans who all want to fuck Mr Big
Because he's got no idea
It's like the music festival
We have in New Zealand
Big Day Out, big gay wedding
You've got to say it like that every time
So they're having sex really loudly
And during the sort of
Establishing shot of the house
So that it's understood how loud it is
And we see sort of people milling around the entrance to the house
There are two guys and there's like a bunch of guys in suits
But I was sort of on the bottom right of frame
There's two guys in suits
And one of them has his hand
around the neck and the head of the other guy.
A taller guy has his hand around the sort of the head and neck of a shorter guy.
And he's making, like, I wouldn't say aggressive advances,
but what are undeniably advances?
And the shorter guy's just not into it at all.
Oh, my.
It's not good.
There's like two, there's kind of two movements where the taller guy's like,
oh, yeah, come on, but give us a smooch.
And the little guy's like, I ain't smooching you, I'm happy.
and then the little guy actually defers to the loud sex noises
to sort of weasel out of it
and before you know it the the shot's gone
but it's sort of I mean it's
I love that what you've just described
takes place in probably two thirds of one second
I know and it's so rich with story in detail
like so many
there's stuff happening there huh
there's so many loose threads in this film
which go untugged
you know how you tug on a loose thread
yeah i've got you man i'm on board uh slow down the metaphor wagon i need to really understand
what you're talking about what is a thread like you know if you've got a if you got a jersey and
it's got a loose thread and you tug on it i'm there and i'm gonna give you a rebels i'm gonna give you
my shining light now are you ready for it okay um i like the fair and this is
not dissimilar from yours that it just shows a bit of depth in what's happening with these
characters but magda uh who is the housekeeper for step maranda i'm not in love with her i just
think it's hilarious how blatantly she eyeballs the camera at science she looks directly down the barrel
like she's like what's it's like she's never seen a camera lens before and she's checking it out
she's looking directly at you it's freaky but that's not my shining light because that already
has been my shining light i think my shining light is the fact that i'd never um
understood why she looked really uncomfortable when Steve says to Miranda that she should quit
her job, stay home and help out around the house.
She looks really weird.
She gives this weird look and I never got it until now when I figured out that would mean
Magda would probably be fired.
And I love that.
She probably wasn't given any direction for that, but she was like, okay, my character
is a housekeeper.
So naturally, if Miranda's here, she's doing the cleaning up, there's nothing left for me to do.
I'm out.
and she gives a good, old-fashioned wince at her impending unemployment.
Hey, that's a great shining light, Tim.
Thank you for your patience.

Thanks, man.
positive you're a positive dude well i'm a jobs creator guy well that is to say i like people
creating jobs i'm a fan of jobs creators you don't create jobs yourself also i've got another i've got
a little bit of a conspiracy theory that you might be able to help me unpack quickly tim well you
know i'm always keen on them so you know after garron is opening uh carrying uh carry's mail
and samantha's mail for what for whatever reason uh and then carry has a
big freak out at Charlotte for calling her on her shit
which still shits me to this day
that like Carrie's freaking out about this bad review
and then she's like I can't write books as a married woman
and Big ones two days off from the marriage
and then Charlotte's like I thought you both wanted that
and then Carrie's like Charlotte now is not the time
to call me on the shit I was trying to sell you on the plane
anyway she goes barnstorming out of the fucking apartment
or whatever and Geron is like fully
he's up to something on the phone
in the background of shot before he's like, where are you going?
Yes.
And he quite sort of tries to subtly hang it up, but 27 times in Montgomery spotted it.
I know exactly the bit you were talking about.
I've seen him do that.
He does the whole thing where you put your hand over the receiver bit
and gently try and get the phone away from you.
What's going on there?
What is going on there, guy?
Garron is one slippery fish.
He comes across as being this lovely guy, spins a yarn,
his wife he lives in India that he barely gets to see purely for the purpose of tugging at the
heartstrings of our hero, Carrie Bradshaw. Why is he trying to infiltrate her? I know why. He represents
a rival publishing house that has many, I don't want to say chicklet, but I would say
strong woman writers in their stable. Lots of little chicklets.
Yeah. So they've got all of these baby chickens writing feminist literature.
at this rival publishing house
and they're always in contention
in that particular section
of the New York bestseller list
with Carrie Bradshaw
who just keeps pumping out
these insufferable volumes
about nothing
just bloody having sex
we've all done it mate
guess what
it's nothing new
we've all done it
it was when she started
since the beginning of time
we've all fucked
revolutionary that you're writing it down
in the book some would say
not me though
I'm not in board
I want more chicken
delivered feminist writing
and I won't apologize for that
and that's why I think Garan is on the side of good
and carry on the side of evil
You're a harsh critic Tim but a fair critic
I think so too
Well it's almost
Scream a bit of ho
Oh geez it's hot over here
It's almost
Squeeter Bobo
Squelch
Squelch goes the chair Tim sits on
Squillers. Squabity who. Squatibbara. Squibreble to bea. Scoot. I'm hemorrhoom. Scribita, ha, babe, ha, babe. I'm losing a lot of fluid.
Squibbidi-bba. Scribby-boo. Scribby-bby-bush. Scroby-da-bba. What's he doing? Where's he going? Why is it so hot today?
That's right.
coffee guy.
Three syllables, two words, one man, three seconds of film, a lifetime of enjoyment.
What is he up to this week, Guy?
Well, coffee guy has actually recently moved to New York from a little known city called
Stanton, Connecticut.
Oh, oh, I think I see where this is going.
It was a sort of a sleepy Connecticut suburb where he was the owner of probably the most
successful department store, certainly the most successful
Kmart franchise in the state
and he's sort of been having a bit of
there's been some
hooligans, not even young hooligans
agent hooligans who've started coming in spending
hour upon hour in his store
mucking around with the hoses,
mucking around with the exercise equipment
mucking around with the knives and the pretzels
and he's had it. I mean the entire
local police department is in Lenny Fader's pocket so he
He can't really do much to get rid of them.
So he's sold up.
He's moved to New York City.
All right?
And he figured this is a city that is so populated with other people
that surely I'll find either a niche of company to enjoy
or, you know, peace and quiet maybe,
piece and quiet probably through the company of people he likes.
And to meet these people, he's a big, he's a coffee fan,
he's a foodie, if you will.
He sort of goes to these.
these local
restaurant and cafe haunts
but everywhere he dines
everywhere he goes for a cup of coffee
he runs into sort of a similar problem
he faced in Standing Connecticut
at his Kmart
which is these fucking harpies
seem to be
just with an airshot
every single goddamn time
so hold on
sorry has he
so he's okay so he's in
standing Connecticut managing the Kmart
um being run rough shot couldn't get any help from the local authorities the boys in blue paid him
no credence and so he moved to new york is he sorry did you say he's a cop now no he's not a cop
he's just he's just in new york trying to try to find himself and some trying to make his way and
this is this the first so like whenever he's in new york he keeps running into these women is that
what's happening well yeah just wherever he's at essentially and so he's sitting there and he's
come up during that
as he next
the coffee he's come up with a brilliant
what he thinks is a brilliant business idea
I mean he's pretty detached from reality at this point
yeah so he's left
the cafe with this great idea
that he's going to have his ears
surgically
filled up
with like semi-permanent
air buds
wow so it's
and who should he approach for the business idea
but he's
he's read and adding the local page
calling for business ideas from someone called Mr. Big.
Wow.
He's got a bit of excess money on account of the success of Mr. Big's jiscusis.
Well, as we all know, that made one man very wealthy.
That's right.
And so Mr. Big keeps getting sent all of these sort of unverified semen samples.
Not something he'd hoped for, obviously, but surely there's a business opportunity in there.
and him and coffee guy wound up teaming up and refining it with flour and water
to make a very viscous sort of paste
which is essentially the first prototype for this new exciting semi-permanent airbud
Jesus so once they're in your ears is they're not getting them off
is that they're there to stay not for a week
it's similar to strikes me as a similar thing to like a cochlear implant
but the opposite where it decreases you're hearing.
Yeah.
Well, quite a concept, guy.
Quite an adventure that coffee guy's on.
I wish them all the best.
I cannot imagine this business ending well.
Personally or professionally.
Hard to see how it wouldn't create long-term medical problems for the wearer,
but I wish them all the best.
Hey, that might have to do it for us right now.
but we'll be back
and I think we're probably
we're a little bit laid off the mark
on this one so we might have to
catch a plane back to
NYC sooner than
either of us, whatever do you like?
Yeah, well
we'll sort that out.
While we're here, I might just selfishly
take the opportunity
in my ongoing quest to perform
comedy to every person in the world
I am currently in Sydney
with quite a boatload of tickets
if you will
A lot of ticket runoff, an overflow, if you will,
available to see me do a show called Guymore and Comedy
at the Sydney Comedy Fringe.
So if you want the details, you can look it up.
I've got a tweet pinned on the top of my tweets
where you can click on the link and buy a ticket.
If you are so interested,
please tell anyone who might like to hear me talk for an hour.
There's pretty much no semen-based content.
That is at Guy underscore Mont.
if you want to get on that handle and do yourself a favour follow that man follow that man i'd
follow you i'd follow you i'd follow you over a clip how much is you show what are you charging people
for this one it's 15 australian dollars but i will be distributing hugs afterwards to anyone who
comes and i'm pretty sure that that's not an insurmountable task on account of ticket sales as it
stands.
Ah, festivals.
Don't we love them?
Very cool, man.
I love that.
Well, once again, to blast our own trumpet,
Google the LA Podfest,
please buy a streaming ticket and use the code worst.
Save yourself five bucks.
It helps our show as well.
And we're going to be in LA,
which means you'll have,
because we're going to do a gig there as well at Reese Starby's gig.
Our mate Reese at Largo on, I think, the 22nd of September.
21st.
So you will have performed.
No, 21st.
Is it Tuesday night, is it?
No, it's Tuesday, 22nd, sorry, you're right.
20 second.
You'll have performed comedy in three continents in like the last few weeks, which is pretty crazy.
It is crazy.
It's certainly not as profitable as the, you know, as one might think.
Yeah, it also means that we, this is, Antarctica is probably too hard to get to.
It'd be nice to try and watch Sex and the City 2 in each continent.
I would have to get my ass to Europe at some point though
And you would have to come to Asia
And we'd both have to get to Africa
Oh, that would be excellent though
We'll just take that plane ride that doesn't exist
That Carrie went on
You know that famous route
That takes you from New York City to Abi Dhabi
Over Africa
We'll just take that one
Joy of joys
Hey Tim I tell you what
Well I didn't enjoy watching the movie this week
It has been fun speaking with you
yeah you too bud uh for everyone else out there we never talk except through these so it's good to catch up
um i'm gonna go eat a breakfast buffet and have a quick dip in the pool oh fuck you all right
i've earned this motherfucker after last week i've certainly earned this see you later
bye it's the worst idea of all time it's the worst idea of all time it's the worst idea of all time
It's the worst idea of all time.
Thank you for your patience.
