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
Season two
Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time
With me, Timbat
That is correct
This is episode number 33
I'm pretty sure
And it's watch number 32
Because now we're out of sync
That's right
We've torn up the rulebook
Hey take that rule book
that you'd been keeping under your bed.
Tear it up.
It's valueless now.
There's no, I know there might be value in it.
It could be a pretty good doorstop.
You might also notice, and of course you have,
because my God, even I can hear it,
it's very echo-y in this room.
We are recording live from a cave
off the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand this week.
We have hidden out from loved ones and enemies.
We are afraid for our very lives.
There's a lot going on here.
A lot of sea creatures making plays.
plans, making gangs, making, like alliances, political alliances, getting themselves together.
You know what's happened? The sea urchants have struck a deal with the sea snails.
It's very funny. It's like watching a marine life version of Survivor, only there are no cameras, so it's not even for the entertainment of the masses.
Oh, no. The cave is crumbling around us. There are rocks falling, left, right, and the center.
How's this going to work? This recording operation we've got is very.
precarious.
The real situation is we're back in New Zealand, we're in Tim's new house.
My new flat.
And he's bought these sort of arms like they have in the proper podcasting studios, but
he, he, he done did, got them on the cheap and one of them is just literally falling
apart before our very eyes.
I broke it.
I broke it so good.
But we're not going to let that stop us.
You've got so many moving parts over there.
Yeah, it's a lot of points of articulation.
Anyway, oh god
If you're not familiar with the podcast
It doesn't usually involve us
Describing the varying different levels
Of technical difficulties we are running into
Right out of the gates
It usually involves two men deriding one another
And the film that they have watched
For the multipleth time of whatever
So we have just watched Sex in the City 2
The 2010 sequel to Sex in the City 1
Which in turn was a maybe 2008 sequel to
very popular HBO television show
for the 32nd time
and this has probably been
we've probably had like a 10 day break
we've probably we've probably
it's been massive it's been so good
it's been the longest break we've ever had
oh it's been nice
because of you know whatever
logistical reasons
and I've got to say I was expecting to come back
refreshed recharged
and ready to enjoy the film as much as
humanly possible given the circumstance
and yet is that what you found
and yet
I would compare the experience to
being given my freedom
in the midst of a prison sentence
get in there
get nice and intimate
with these new
I've got new microphones
Do you want me to get even closer
Get in there
And just talk real
Give them a bit of Monty
Give him a bit of that
What I'm trying to tell you
Tim
Is if you
Speak quietly
You have to shout
When you're that close
You just give him a bit
Of that old Monty magic
But
That old Monty magic
If I was
Tim
If you were given a prison
Now it feels like
We're doing this
in secret.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Tim, you were sentenced to 52 years in prison.
It's a lot of time.
What have I done?
And you served triple homicide.
You've wigged out completely.
Jesus.
You're a bad guy.
You're a regular Robert Durst.
But you're not because you get, you're put in prison for it.
Anyway, 52 years sentence, no parole.
But for whatever reason, after 31 years, they say, hey, by the way,
after 31 years
Yes
I'm saying
Yes
Yeah
Maintain the world
You get a year off
Go walk about
Yeah
Enjoy your life
But you still have to come back
And serve the remaining
I don't know
What's the math on that
21 years
You'd think
First of all
Wow that would be amazing
Imagine that
But then
It would dawn on you
As you have to go back to prison
That is an even more cruel trick
would you not agree
so are there
alternatives that you can just do the whole
prison term in one hit?
Yeah
We'd take a year off
Yeah I think
I think I'd probably rather just take the whole hit
Yeah
Based on the evidence presented before you today
Yeah
Or just for general vibe
Um both
We're easing our way back into talking
Why did we back in
Why we even was bringing the first place
Because I just you know
We're mixing it up
doing anything
I'm back to the whispering
Doing anything
We can't
Yeah so I was expecting to enjoy
Not enjoy the movie
That's the wrong word
But at least
Enjoy it more though
Yeah
It was
That was super hard
Right the way through
I gave you some kisses
For a kiss
Is always a gift
I genuinely was giving you
Like tender kisses
Yeah
One of those kisses
The one I gave you
On your forehead
Yes
That is literally
Exactly the same
kissing technique
I use
on my girlfriend.
What did it feel like?
Very warm, very tender.
Were you comfortable in that moment?
Yeah.
I mean, I wouldn't want anything more tender than what you gave me,
but I think that was probably the line,
and we know where that is now, we've visited it.
I think the line is much further along than you think.
I think maybe the line isn't two different points
depending on if you're me looking at it or Guy Montgomery looking at it.
In that moment, Tim, such was my boredom and desire to explore
the world outside of Sex and City too.
I would have literally kissed any part of your body.
And without any real thought for the ramifications that might have to either our
relationships, to the outside perception of our friendship, I was operating outside the
sort of the bounds of, you know, regular thinking.
You went to a lovely place with it, which is kind of, it tend to kisses.
In my brain, I was like, I could actually see myself running at the wall for
speed head first and just to just to see what would happen would my head break through the weather
board or would I just get knocked out just moved into this place yeah I know very reckless place
for you to go right don't tell the landlord I've already put a hole in the wall did you know that
no when I was in the lounge when I was we've got an extra bed and so I just like kind of rammed it
into the corner but I didn't realize there was a there's like a spring thing like a tightening
mechanism that pokes out of the mattress and I just went boom and it just punched
I've been burned by those tightening mechanisms before as well.
You're a terror.
Take them out of beds.
When have you ever used it?
I'm always tightening up and loosening my bed.
Really?
Yeah, weekly.
Really?
Yeah, it's a regular bloody lucky dip when you're sleeping over at old Monty's house.
Crazy.
Do you flip the mattress on the rig?
I do flip the mattress on the rig.
You are a psychopath.
You are the only person I've ever met who flips the mattress.
I flipped my mattress last week.
How often do you flip them?
Well, do you know why?
Because when I got back from L.A.
L.A.
I'd been subletting my bedroom out for two months.
I got back this couple, like a lovely French lady moved in when I first left,
but her job repositioned her.
And so she wound up having to find some flatmates through Trade Me,
which is crazlist or whatever.
This couple moved in.
From what I can gather,
the evidence left.
I didn't even know if they were having sex,
but they were definitely eating a lot.
They were eating a lot.
There were apple cores and almonds littered.
strewn across my bedroom and beneath the bed.
That is fucked up.
So your boy, Gmont rolled up his sleeves and gave the place a good one, two, three scrub.
And accordingly, when I was in the midst of this cleaning, I was like,
you know what?
You know what I'm going to do?
Because I had the whole bed pulled away from the wall.
Fair enough, man.
I can understand in that circumstance flipping the mattress.
Yeah, it was probably apple juice and semen runoff all over the top half of the mattress.
Which, coming this summer, Mr. Biggscusi's apple flavor now.
Yeah.
He's an exciting development.
experimenting a lot with sort of essence of, like, flavour essences.
There's a vanilla one now.
It makes you a whole house smell like vanilla semen.
Like a, like if someone had set off a vanilla stink bomb in a public changing room, that's what it smells like.
Seaman doesn't smell like stink bombs though.
It's like...
No, but the vanilla.
That's the vanilla part.
Oh, okay, yeah.
The public changing room part is the semen.
Got it.
Yeah.
No, you're right there.
Can you imagine the unholy smell of Mr. Big was to open some sort of gymnasium or emporium of his product?
Also, did you see that one about...
One of our fans has listed on Craig's list.
Oh, yeah, Mr. Biggs, like...
He's like, I'll find...
Office.
I'll pull it up.
It's very funny.
While you're doing that, I would like to talk about some things that are in the movie,
the first of which.
And there's no real reason for me to talk about this,
but I notice it every week.
And I think I've noticed it from week one,
and I've never brought it up,
is Charlotte's insane face,
which flashes on screen as a reaction to Miranda saying interfrenchin.
And she has got, like,
eyes the size of sources huge and she's just whipping your head back and forward her neck is
essentially on a swivel she looks so crazy it's the craziest anyone looks in the film and it's
just on on screen briefly it's when miranda lists herself as being a type a control freak
she's yeah yeah yeah and the wind up to the interfrenchin no wait into function it comes after
the interfrenching i'm turning this into french no yeah she's i'm staging an interfrenchin and then miranda
because she loves a terrible pun
slash portmanteau
slash it's not really
can't be described by any of those
words which describe the English language
because it's neither
it's just a bloody
it's a portmanteau
it's a car crash
in the literal sense
it's a portmanteau isn't it
Charlotte's reaction
and into function
fun
no it's not
because it's not the merging of two words
she's just taken one word
and slammed it in the middle
and she's
James sliced a word
of an existing word.
She slammed it in the middle of another word
that her friend has already...
It's like she saw a pile up on the freeway
and instead of slowing down and driving a car around the pile up,
she centered in on the middle of it,
she honed in, she accelerated,
she went crashing in.
And accordingly, Charlotte's reaction is one of crazy-eyed terror.
What a visual representation of the linguistics.
But you said you've noticed that since week one
and you've never brought it up.
Yeah.
There's a few things that I just, I don't know,
I don't feel comfortable talking about yet.
We're only up to 33, you know.
You don't feel comfortable talking about?
They're going to eke out over time.
Why don't you feel comfortable?
Surely, this is a safe place.
It's important for me to have a few secrets, okay?
I've got to maintain some of those.
No one wants that information out of you.
Save for me right now, obviously.
You see, I don't feel safe anymore.
So that's all of the secrets I'm going to share.
Now, did you find that guy?
It's a big thing.
A listing on Craigslist, or Craigslist, because Americans don't know how to talk.
Oh, oh, we come from big country.
This is how, a human talks.
No, the human talks like this.
Yeah, do you hear this?
This is the Queen's English.
And do you know who started English?
The Queen.
That's right.
The first person to speak, Queen Elizabeth II.
Not people have rewritten history books to suggest there was language before the 20th, 20th century.
Anyway.
They're filthy lies.
You can't believe any of them.
Wanted, business ideas, financial district.
you have a big idea you want to share with the world?
Using my capital and business savvy,
we can make your big ideas a reality.
Why come to Mr. Big?
As a day trader on Wall Street,
an inventor of the famous Mr. Biggs Jiscusi trademarked,
I have the business, skill and creative channel
to turn your idea into an accomplishment.
Contact Mr. Big at,
and then show contact info with the addendum.
Do not contact me with unsolicited services or offers.
We'll show the contact info.
Let's blast it on the potty,
get people to send in some ideas.
a screenshot.
But not to us.
Oh, yeah.
It's just a screenshot.
There's no hyperlinked.
So who sent us this?
Was it the guy who made it?
Or was it a guy who just...
It'd be way funny if it was a guy who stumbled on it.
Philip Rosak, who says, surprisingly, I've received multiple emails pitching business ideas
for Mr. Big.
Philip, if this is true, could you please fire some of those through to us?
Do us a solid, Phil.
I mean, while we're poking around the neighborhood, we might as well crack open that huge
leather-bound book that our hero, Mr. Big, does keep on that keyboard.
list, mouseless desk of his.
Where there should be, what are we, 2010, a probably 2.4 gigahertz
co-2 duo on that desk.
Instead, there is an ancient leather-bound book gathering dust.
Known simply as Mr. Big's Big Book of Ideas.
And buried within this are all sorts of crazy schemes and plans
to quickly accumulate more fun so he can buy, carry more of the things she doesn't want.
Mainly in crayon, these ideas are displayed.
pictorial form.
Also a few in those fancy Faber Castel
coloring pencils. Yeah.
If he's getting real fancy.
Anyway, the header on this page.
Two words.
Intergalactic
glory hole.
Tim, what does that make you think right out of the gates?
Scarband.
Okay.
I was thinking of like,
some sort of portal that you dip your dick in it's a band name i mean if you were getting
literal on it totally it is uh some sort of spacetime continuum rip it's like a tear in the fabric of
reality that you would insert your genitalia into and you'd pull back in little aliens yeah
and you'd raise them as children do you think that if you were to put your johnson through a rip
in reality it would like aliens would be attracted to it no oh well maybe do you know what
Maybe like, okay, you know how we see comets and crazy, like, ball lightning and shit?
Imagine if that's an alien's penis visiting us, and we're like, that is beautiful.
And on their home planet, they're all like as ashamed of it as we are with our penises.
Like a comet or an asteroid is.
I don't know, some sort of intergalactic phenomena that we see is actually an alien penis.
And it's so beautiful.
It looks like a sunset or like the sky's on fire.
It's an alien's cock.
And or balls.
That would be funny.
But if we're taking just the term into galactic glory hole,
I'm seeing a 16-piece scar band touring from east to west coast,
like constantly, fish style.
16 members.
What are you got in there?
You've got three saxophones, obviously.
Well, we've got to name them.
So you've got a tenor sacks, an alto sacks, and a soprano sax.
We have to name the saxophones, or the players.
The instruments.
Well, you can name the players if you wish.
Okay.
Okay, on tenor.
Warren Tenarius.
On alto.
Michaela Shacklebel.
On soprano.
Thanks.
Mikhail Velitov.
On Piccolo.
Simone Samanghi.
On the triangle.
Dantarius.
Mouthpiece.
On beat drums.
Warwick Fishbone.
Bongos.
That's an obvious one.
Barry the banjo playing bongist.
Which leads me nicely to banjo.
Well, Bori, the bongo hating mole rat.
Lead guitar.
Scott Warrington.
Rhythm guitar.
Bernard Blacksmith.
Bass guitar.
Tyrone Wishbone.
like Tyrone, do you?
Yeah, he's a real classic dude.
Tyrone, wishbone, the bass player
from Mr. Perk's 16-piece scar band
Intergalactic Gloryhole.
Well, obviously, the five instruments you need left are Synth.
Yep.
Who we got on Sinth?
Synthesizer is electric metal piece.
Fucking hell I'm running out.
It's hard to come up with names.
Hockey Tongue Piano.
Ronald Keystone.
Um, I'm actually, because I know we've only got, I think, two slots left.
Uh, what else do you need in a scar band?
I don't know what instruments or people in the band.
Oh, trumpet. Oh, my God. Trumpet. B-flat trumpet.
Uh, oh, Peter Sickling.
Trombone.
Dez Matai, who actually, funnily enough, is my old PE teacher from intermediate school.
Is it the same guy?
Yeah, it's absolutely the same guy.
And, um, who's reinvented himself.
Rounding everything off.
Who's the singer of this glorious band?
Mr. Big.
Of course.
Who else?
Of course it is.
What we didn't specify is that they play exclusively Kinks covers.
That's right.
The Kinks are the popular British band found by the Davies Brothers, I think, in the 60s.
Because what we have also found in the movie, or I've found, I think you have too, is that...
I've stumbled into it after you open the door or ajar for me.
Is that they've pretty much buried all of the lyrics, the Kink song all day and all of the night across the film.
So they've stretched out what was probably a jaunty three-minute, catch-y-all-hound.
track into a two hour and 30 minute
floated jam session.
It's the one that goes
all of the day
all day and all of the night
it's that one and I'm pretty sure
this is totally the kind of project that we should embark on
but we definitely won't because we can't be bothered
but piecing together the lyrics across the entire film
you could definitely cut it up and cut it to that song
you got to question the financial merit of touring
with a 16 piece scar band called
Intergalactic Glory Hole who specialise in Kings
covers. I've got to say you're hitting a pretty big niche, 16 band members, travel expenses
are through the roof. Okay, if you look at a graph, right, X and Y, we've got a gradient in
there, there's a Y intercept. What you've got to analyze is how much more audience touring
revenue is going to be brought in by the fact that Mr. Big's got a 16-piece band versus if it was
just like a normal quad, right? So you've got to measure that across the expenses, and I think
16-piece is the perfect equilibrium for maximum profits. And he's done the crayon math on this.
There's a lot of drawings in that page about, like, what the perfect number for the scar band is.
I just think 16's too many.
Like, every band member will have to take it upon themselves to sell.
How big are the arenas these guys are playing?
They play theaters or arenas?
Arenas, like wall to wall.
Huge.
I'm talking 16, 18,000 people turn out.
16 to 18,000 people.
100%.
But turning up to see Intercollactic Gloryhole.
Yeah, 100%.
Because not since, like, the days of Chicago.
and Boston and America and other bands
that hubrisely named themselves
after massive, awesome places.
Have we seen a fabulous touring act
that just really knocks it out of the park
in an arena setting?
You think the only bands to have done this previously
were bands named after geographical places?
100%.
And exclusively in the 70s.
No one since has really been able to do it.
We know that.
It's why it's how the Rolling Stones
are still able to tour.
no one's really topped it until now with intercollective glory hole i gotta say i do wish him
all the best but i think you're managing a lot of personalities you're managing a lot of ego
the 16 piece yeah 16 pieces and tyrone fishbone has a propensity to fuck band members too
yeah he's a real wild card he likes getting involved like Fleetwood mac level getting
involved he's had sex with everyone and now it's just a complicated series of ex relationships
very uncool.
Tyrone Reynidon.
That's right.
Mr. Bigg also dispenses
Fleetwood Mac and Cheese.
He, of course,
bought this at a Fleetwood Mac concert in 1967,
and he's held onto it.
He takes one mouthful every year
on the anniversary of the gig.
There's pretty much four mouthfuls left,
and he tours it as sort of a memoriam for the band.
So he's selling it as a bit...
When you say he's selling Fleetwood Mac and Cheese,
he bought macaroni cheese at a Fleetwood Mac gig,
and then he puts on a performance where he eats a tiny bit annually.
Yeah, and they didn't call it Fleetwood Mac and Cheese
That's what he called it
That is genius
That's like Credence Clearwater
Oh wait, what do they call themselves?
Because they can't call themselves revival
Creedence Clearwater Survival
Something like that
And it's just the living members
Who want to play music with each other
It's the other two who don't have Foggedy's rights
Like for those songs or whatever
Something, I can't remember how it goes
They dress up like Foghorn leghorn
We are deep in a rabbit hole of confusion right now
A lot of music, a lot of music going on, a lot of jazz, a lot of, a lot of squeed up, you know.
A lot of, squeam up.
A squeed up, ba, ba, bah, bah, bah, screed up, kiss is always a gig.
A kiss is always a gift.
A kiss is always a gift.
what's he doing do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do what's he doing
what's he out to is what i think it is playing it was by the way
i'm really glad you got that yeah me too i've missed a couple
Nickelodeon themes in the past that you've chucked out there i'll be damned if you burn me again
i'm glad i got this property i'm going to start moving outside the realm of nick one day
Nick, Nick, Nick, Nickelodeon
So, the question, as always,
What is that crazy? Java-addicted fall
Doing with his time?
Ladies and gentlemen,
gives me a great pleasure to tell you
that that guy has started an inner city school program
where he's training kids, how to be baristas,
that's right, he was in the cafe
and he was like, I can't get enough of this high quality,
Expresso coffee.
He calls it Expresso specifically to antagonize the assholes who walk around
creating everyone at the spread.
Let people call it what they want, all right?
It's just coffee.
It has no impact on your life, you pedantic motherfuckers.
You just skipped three beats and, like, mocked yourself without taking the first step
because I know you wanted to correct me on saying Expresso, but then you, like, railed
on yourself preemptively.
I love it.
None of that was to do with me.
It was all to do with other people.
Listen, coffee guy's an educator at his heart.
He's an addict, there's no doubt about that.
But he's also primarily a man who wants to teach the world to love.
And the way that you do that is teaching kids how to make a damn fine cup of Joe.
So here's how it works.
Similar to the college draft system with the football,
you have to maintain a certain grade point average to get accepted into the special scholarship program
where coffee guy himself will grace you with his presence on a daily basis
and teach you how to make the perfect cup of coffee.
We are talking where do the best beans come from,
how to prepare them,
making sure that the entire supply chain is pristine and clean,
keeping those things in the best condition possible.
But then we get down to the milk.
What songs do you sing a cow to get the best kind of milk out of it?
Those songs are jazz songs,
and you will only find that out if you go to Coffee Guys,
exclusive school of the arts and espresso.
He teaches the kids how to manipulate their vocal cords
to perfectly recreate the alto saxophone played by Stan Getz
on the smash jazz album Gets, Gilberto.
All right?
He's got these kids soothing cows
every which way across the Midwest
to the tones of Corkervoda,
the girl from Eponima.
I didn't know, I didn't go to the school.
I was doing my best.
I did not know you could do that.
Did you know you could do that until right now?
I've never done whatever it was before.
So really, that's what's happening with that.
I'm fully into it.
I think good on the guy for using some of that demon-borne energy.
Yeah.
To try and create something positive for once.
Obviously, he's going to spread more love in the world.
First of all, you've got kids, you know, from all kinds of different backgrounds who suddenly, you know, kids love responsibility, they love purpose.
Secondly, you've got all manner of parents or just grown adults walking around suddenly feeling much better about the coffee they're buying.
It's okay to pay $4 for a flat while when it comes from a smiling five-year-old with scolding hot burns all over their hands because guess what?
You shouldn't get kids to make coffee.
But if you are going to, they should go to Coffee Guys School of the Arts and espresso.
Yeah.
and if you don't know now you know my shining light this week is pretty specific
but there's a lovely a lot of music in this in this uh in this uh in this hair ep of the potty
but it's a little piano roll that happens as um carrie is grappling with the fact that she is
just pastadden right on the mouth and for some reason that eclipses everyone else's
problems including possible extradition or jail time for samantha i could not count on the
fingers and toes i have the number of times i wanted to tell carrie to stop talking about herself
in this film which means it was at least 21 can you only count to 21 well i said on my fingers
and toes oh right wait how many have you got a spare one no no you mean 20 like up to 20
i said i couldn't count on them right which means that there's more than 20 oh okay so there's
at least 21 all right i've got just so everyone's on the same page roll here now i've got the
normal amount of fingers and toes.
Very good.
Not that it's not normal to have that amount, I just have 20.
That piece of piano music is coupled with a lovely shot of Carrie walking midnight in the hotel towards the balcony.
Yeah.
Flowing in the wind gently.
It was, the music tonally sort of, it did really do it.
It does, as we've said before, the music does a lot of the heavy lifting in this film.
would say almost all of it all of the emotional impact of this film and there isn't
heaps or much at all but whatever there is there is because of soundtracking which is crazy
to imagine the experience on set where they don't have the benefit of the music to set the tone
so everything would have just felt so flat and like wide yeah and just and just you would question
everything you'd be like this doesn't feel like it's anything yeah be terrifying it'd be such
like risky situation to be in
anyhow but no it wouldn't actually
if this was an original property you'd feel like that
but you'd be like you know what we've got ten years
of bad catalogue or whatever
15 10 years of good will to piss on here
yeah it's a lot of goodwill
my showing light was triggered at a very similar moment
and it's very of the time I thoroughly enjoyed it
when Mr Big's phone is ringing
all the way from Abu Dhabi as Carrie is about to
confess to her sins
it flashes upon the blackberry screen
carry sell it just dates the movie so much so much like i have no one no one in my phone right
now is listed next to the word sell the assumption is well first of all well the assumption
is that it is a cell phone and secondly there's no need to differentiate between what number
it's coming from or who you're calling i think cell phones back in the day from memory they
weren't that like good at you know you're storing two numbers under one contact exactly so you'd
have to have two different contacts although he's on a blackberry i feel like we had gotten there by
that stage you know yeah it's you're right it's very odd and it's also odd that that's your
shining light because i feel like it's a bit of a negative i feel like you're negging
finding something you don't like to say that you do like it i did enjoy it you liked it
don't you come over here
police in my shining light
shining your police torch on my
on my moment
don't you get so
prissy when I'm kicking the tires
on your shine on it I'm testing it out
you know I'm walking around that thing
I'm poking it
don't you
I'm turning the window wipers on
I'm seeing if the indicators are going
forget about me
just quickly there's one other thing I'd like to open up
Tim that you are brought to my attention
which is
a moment
I really like these moments
in which there's a certain moment in the film
which qualifies a crazy sort of logic
and in the film this week it was
when the girls go
they're going for lunch
and they're going camels then lunch
and Carrie bemoans this
because nothing in her life is good enough
and she says I'm not really dressed for camels
and Miranda says
I bought a whole outfit change or whatever
and don't worry
Abdul picked them out
And you pointed out to me
We're upon
We see the girls
Like after they put on these outfits
And they are hideous
Outrageous
I would say goofy
They are the goofy of
In a film loaded with goofy outfits
Across the board
This is quite comfortably
The goofiest they look
I get like being fashion forward
And avant-gardeonship
But this is just wet
Well that always means
It's going to
You know, it always means it's going to look silly.
Yeah.
With hindsight.
But, so we've got, Samantha is an Egyptian pharaoh.
I think we've been through this before.
Amanda, Miranda rather, looks like some psychedelic cowboy.
Yeah.
Kerry has got nipple tassels.
Some sort of deranged strippers round up in the desert.
And Charlotte is rocking kind of like the psychedelic cowboy's sidekick.
Sort of, who was always with Quickdraw McGraw McGraw?
Oh, I can't remember.
Quick draw McGraw's sidekick kind of outfit.
Yeah.
So what that means, though, is that...
Abdul did pick out of the outfits.
Abdul's fucking with them.
Abdul is going, I wonder if they'll put these on.
I'll bet they will.
These stupid American scumbags.
And then he's just watching them parade around,
like a bunch of fucking Muppets in the desert.
He's been given the company credit card,
and he's seeing just what he can get away with.
It's so good, too, because you can...
It'll get back to him, right?
And the hotel stuff will be like,
Abdul, what are you doing?
This is not on.
He'll be like, hey, listen, I'm not a fashion guy.
I'm a man servant.
I was told to do this.
I was way out of my pay grade.
Yeah, this was out of my leg, out of my debt.
Someone threw a credit card at me, and I went for it.
He knows what he's doing.
He knows what he's doing.
Absolutely knows what he's up to.
He is exacting his revenge on this fucking horrible woman
who have just descended on to him.
it's so good
it's the best kind of revenge
because it's like
the perfect crime
you'll never get caught
and accordingly
Abdul is a beacon of hope
as we look to move forward
with this stupid
goddamn project
Abdul you remember as the man
who also
I had a theory for a while
was an assassin
because when Dickbott
arrives on the scene
he's sharpening a knife
butter knife
polishing a butter knife
and it's like
I think what they're trying
to insinuate with the film is
like a penis reference, right?
It's supposed to be innuendo for like, you know.
Ah, because they cast gay aspersions upon.
Exactly.
On Abdu.
Well, they don't cast gay aspersions.
They do.
Samantha says, I think my butler's gay. It's not like a...
What is an aspersion? I think it's like when you insinuate something. It's like when you don't come out wholeheartedly. And so... to cast an aspersion sounds like a spell. No, actually, yeah, you're right. Because when you cast... I think it's just when you say something
negative about people.
So, yeah, you can't cast a gay aspersion, or they are because the context is, yeah.
It's not negative, it's just speculative.
It sort of is in this film, though, which is weird, because they, like, they kind of
try to champion the gay cause and get so caught up in being so rainbow flag waving that
it's like, all right, this is, like, weird, and it's, like, we're all good here.
You guys need to stop screaming, gay waiting every six seconds.
It's coming across really the opposite of, I think, what you intend did.
Not cool.
Anyhow, on that note, I think it's a fantastic time for us to put a pin in the enterprise this week.
I think you might be right.
We've got lives to lead, as I'm sure do you.
Thank you very much for listening.
If you've enjoyed it, we don't often ask for this.
Please rate and review the podcast on iTunes or Stitch It, whatever the platform you listen to it on.
It is a huge help to us.
Yeah, and do yourself a favour.
Make it a haiku review, if you do review us.
That's five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
Also, it would be a joy if we could get the intergalactic gloryhole hashtag popping off this week.
Tell us any band members you think we might have missed out on it.
And it's so long.
I think it is a hell of a hashtag.
What was it, Tyrone Fishbone, right?
He's our bass player?
That is correct.
Oh, damn it.
I like it.
I've got a picture of what he looks like in my head.
I had it immediately when you started talking about him.
And he looks a lot like Lenny Crave it.
Just so you know.
What?
Otherwise, this is Guy Montgomery telling you to eat more oranges.
It's the worst idea of all time.
It's the worst idea of all time.
It's the worst idea of all time.
Season two.
