Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:44 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
Starting point is 00:00:57 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,
Starting point is 00:01:11 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.
Starting point is 00:01:36 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
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:29 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
Starting point is 00:02:47 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
Starting point is 00:03:04 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
Starting point is 00:03:18 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
Starting point is 00:03:30 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
Starting point is 00:03:39 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
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:03:56 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.
Starting point is 00:04:11 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
Starting point is 00:04:29 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
Starting point is 00:04:38 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
Starting point is 00:04:48 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
Starting point is 00:05:01 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
Starting point is 00:05:14 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
Starting point is 00:05:25 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
Starting point is 00:05:35 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
Starting point is 00:05:46 One of those kisses The one I gave you On your forehead Yes That is literally Exactly the same kissing technique I use
Starting point is 00:05:52 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.
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:18 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:07:47 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,
Starting point is 00:08:04 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.
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:35 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.
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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,
Starting point is 00:09:41 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
Starting point is 00:10:16 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
Starting point is 00:10:28 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:52 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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.
Starting point is 00:11:23 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:11:59 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?
Starting point is 00:12:17 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,
Starting point is 00:12:34 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.
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:02 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.
Starting point is 00:13:30 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.
Starting point is 00:13:53 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,
Starting point is 00:14:15 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.
Starting point is 00:14:59 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,
Starting point is 00:15:20 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.
Starting point is 00:15:37 The instruments. Well, you can name the players if you wish. Okay. Okay, on tenor. Warren Tenarius. On alto. Michaela Shacklebel. On soprano.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Thanks. Mikhail Velitov. On Piccolo. Simone Samanghi. On the triangle. Dantarius. Mouthpiece. On beat drums.
Starting point is 00:16:06 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.
Starting point is 00:16:31 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
Starting point is 00:16:55 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.
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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?
Starting point is 00:17:45 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.
Starting point is 00:18:14 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
Starting point is 00:18:33 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
Starting point is 00:18:59 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?
Starting point is 00:19:27 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.
Starting point is 00:19:44 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?
Starting point is 00:20:04 100%. 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
Starting point is 00:20:26 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.
Starting point is 00:20:51 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...
Starting point is 00:21:05 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?
Starting point is 00:21:23 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
Starting point is 00:21:37 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
Starting point is 00:22:20 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?
Starting point is 00:22:52 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
Starting point is 00:23:14 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.
Starting point is 00:23:35 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,
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:21 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?
Starting point is 00:24:44 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?
Starting point is 00:25:19 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:27:05 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
Starting point is 00:27:37 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
Starting point is 00:28:10 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
Starting point is 00:28:27 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
Starting point is 00:29:16 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
Starting point is 00:29:39 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
Starting point is 00:29:51 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
Starting point is 00:30:07 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
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:37 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
Starting point is 00:30:50 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.
Starting point is 00:31:04 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:45 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.
Starting point is 00:32:00 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.
Starting point is 00:32:15 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
Starting point is 00:32:28 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
Starting point is 00:32:40 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
Starting point is 00:32:52 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...
Starting point is 00:33:20 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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.
Starting point is 00:34:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:47 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.
