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 to
Hello, welcome to the worst idea of all time
Episode number 37
Our three dozenth watch of sex in the city too
My name is Tim Baat
My name is Guy Montgomery
And we have now officially
Spent more time in the company
of Carrie and the Gals
than we did with Lenny Fader and the boys.
I'm coming to you from Auckland, New Zealand.
I am coming to you live from Melbourne, Australia.
I like that you just say live now.
We're so used to hearing newscasters and sports reporters
saying I'm coming to you live from places
that we say it when it is completely untrue now.
I still think it is live because, I mean, how else am I doing it?
You're alive.
Yeah.
So you've got the majority.
Yeah.
Every episode of the podcast we've recorded has been live.
Guy, you're over in Ozzy doing comedy at the moment.
In fact, if I rush to get this out, would you want to plug anything right up the top?
You mean if you get it out today.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's say that happens.
I'm doing a gig called Dirty Secrets at Kaz Raintop's Dirty Secrets in Collingwood this evening.
It's a bar and I'm doing a show at the European Beer Cafe tomorrow night on Exhibition Street.
It'll be...
Casaray Topps is awesome too
Yeah, you're a big fan
Big fan
Also, I did a live podcast last night
For a guy called Justin Hamilton
Who's a legend
Called Can You Take This Photo Please
And that episode's just gone live
And I do some stand-up in that
And we have a chat
And I talk about the podcast
It's quite good fun
How cool are you
Well, let's get some other book work out of the way
I would like to say
Thank you so much
To Big Pipe
Big Pipe Broadband who is sponsoring this week's episode
they want me to pass on to you a couple of things
They want me to let you know a couple of things
Can you please dress this up and make it not look like
You're just reading T's and C's from an email?
Well, what I can tell you is I'm on Big Pipe
And I like them
What I can tell you is that no one
Who works for Big Pipe
Or as a family member
Or is in any way affiliated with anyone at Big Pipe
Has ever strangled me
threatened my windpipe or sort of laid hands on me
and that's part of their policy that's written into the policy
no throttling so
you're very focused on the no throttling
there's no data caps either so I guess that means
if you've got a hat that you wear in your head
made of ones and zeros they will ban it
they will banish it for your hat
or it just says the word data
also there's a good novelty hat bro
a hat that says
a data cap
hat that says the word
data
should we get them
off the production line
okay well what are we going to do
with this one
no term contracts
no term contracts
they won't
give internet
the school children
they steadfastly
refuse
a reach
look the fact of the matter
is they're fucking awesome
now they are awesome
they're excellent
and if you use the word
worst idea
when you sign up to them
it helps us out
And it helps you out because you get a month's free internet.
So that's nothing but a good thing.
And as always, if you're not in New Zealand, go fuck yourself.
Bigpipe.com.com.
Z guy, I took so many notes this time because, and look, I have to kick this off with a frank admission.
I definitely went on my phone.
Right.
That's fun.
And I tried to not as much as possible.
And I got through like at least the first hour and a half, like pretty much without going on my phone at all.
And then I just needed a couple quick hits as Instagram.
and check out what was going on Twitter.
I completely understand.
Like, I went on my phone as well.
I think we're good at policing each other, but if there's no one in the room, it's like, it's two to half hours.
It's just...
It's too much.
Yeah, I sent you a message DM on Twitter when there was 45 minutes.
I sent you one on Facebook, so we were obviously using the right.
It didn't get through.
But do you know what I started doing?
could see myself losing interest and about to go on my phone again i just increased the volume a bit
more so by the end of the film like this thing was just fucking thumping in my head like rock in the
room i picked up some really nice off-mike work um like really strong in fact and i'm probably
we might kick it off with the shining light right now and because this this was it um so
firstably uh when miranda and carrier at the the sook
and like it's the first shot and they're buying they're just leaving the spice market where they're buying spices um yeah
Miranda just throws in a chakran which which is I'm I hope that's right with the thank you that she's talking about on the plane
she throws it in to thank the spice merchant when they're leaving yeah that's what she says in the um karaoke bar as well
when she orders the drink shukhan very much I hadn't heard like I hadn't heard that one and I was so impressed and I was like oh there's
I mean I still don't think they should be buying these spices I don't know why Miranda's buying
so many fucking spices.
And then also, when they're being led into the room by the ladies after the condom incident
and there's some really good nervous of Mike's stuff from Charlotte, which is going,
uh-oh, okay.
And then Miranda follows it up with her, all right, here we go.
And I mean, this is stuff that, you know, a lot of people wouldn't get.
And my gift to you this week, kind listener and Tim, is twofold.
First of all, it is these off-mic tips.
and secondly
tis a kiss
for a kiss
is always a gift
that these characters
have been with these women
these actors for so long
that's how you get the depth of
oh oh
here we go
let's go
that's how you really nail that
in a character
by just being completely
of and in the character
for 20 years
or whatever
how long did it be
I think it came out
in the 90s
I mean yeah 20 sounds
oh 95 sounds
a bit early.
Ten years.
Ten years.
Ten years.
Ten years.
Not 20.
Oh.
That's a...
Do you know what?
In all of the notes that I took, I didn't take down a shining light, so I'll have to think of that a little bit later on.
But something that made me really sad, like a low light, if you will, is...
Because you know how Charlotte is talking to Rancel about the babysitter?
Yeah.
And he's like, well, if we brought the babysitter, that's what the babysitter's for.
You're not going to go and tend to the child if the babysitter's yet.
I mean the nanny.
And then we meet the nanny
and she said I heard it was a glorious wedding
which is so fucking sad
because it means this nanny was just like cooped up
with these kids in this bedroom
while this incredibly lavish ceremony was going on
and I got a real like Cinderella vibe from it
which would make Charlotte one of the ugly
stepsisters I guess by extension.
It just really bummed me out.
I understand that but you've got to look at it as a professional contract term
they brought the nanny, she's on the clock
she's being paid for her job as a nanny.
She's not like...
I mean, obviously it would be nice
if the nanny got to go and swan around the wedding,
but that's not the nature of this relationship.
It just feels like...
In New Zealand, we wouldn't do that.
Well, of course, the movie is not set...
Altiero God zone. We wouldn't get away.
It doesn't matter how rich you are.
You wouldn't get away with that kind of behaviour.
You bring your nanny down.
You get her some cake when the cake gets cut.
At a minimum.
No, that's absolutely true.
But this movie is not set in reality.
That's true
Or New Zealand
Speaking of that
Actually the nanny and the wedding
And the when they
So there's that shot
That famous shot
Which features the Runkle Crunkle
When it sort of pans up
It's showing what's happening
In the bedrooms
And Samantha is just fucking
Dominating this dude
And then it goes to
The room with Runkle and Shala
And the two kids
And first of all
I haven't really noticed before
They have taken
So many toys away
For this wedding
It is like
yeah i honestly
that was
there's almost like a separate car's worth of gear
no one's playing with any of the toys
the kids are still fucking miserable
and yeah charlotte's
cradling rosa
rose and she's like saying
please just
she's like isn't even hugging her into her
body and she's saying please sleep
please sleep please
it's like some of the worst parenting
like i understand
you know she might be a wits end with not knowing how to get
this child asleep but like
that's just
that's not how you do it's so much basic stuff
like bring her into your body
ask you what's going on
yeah and adjust your tone
she wonders why these kids are freaking out
this is what I kept thinking about during the same where
her and Miranda are having cocktails
and spinning stories about how much they hate their kids
which is fine
but they
the kids that Charlotte has is
they're both picking up on her neuroses
and so they're just they're spinning themselves
out
A more chill parent, they'll be fine.
They're so nervous, though, because she's so stressed out.
When they're in intermediate English class
and they start getting taught, like, features of the English language,
like metaphors and similes and idioms and anything,
they are going to be at sea.
Like, they will take everything in their life at face value.
Every sentence that's spoken to them is the God's honest truth.
She's setting these kids back years.
They could be poets or authors.
come up with something
this watch guy
something occurred to me
so we've got
a Middle Eastern
multi-millionaire hotelia
that's decided
he's entering the film
business for no reason
in particular
this guy's got close connections
to a shake
at this huge
like that party
that launch party
for the movie
that the red carpet event
too much right
too much money
was being spent on that thing
suddenly we've got
a representative from the Bank of Madrid attending?
Like, what the fuck is going on with this movie?
I reckon there is some black market shenanigans happening.
I think it's...
They're laundering money.
Heart of the dessert.
It's a restaurant launch.
So, one of the places that I tripped off to during the watch of the movie on my phone was IMDB for Sex and the City, too.
Amazed I have not done that.
the first 37 weeks of this, but did you know that they referred to this project as
heart of the desert as its like secret code name when they were talking about it so no one
got wind that it was sex in the city too. Oh wow, I did not know that. I think I might
have read that and forgotten about it. Did you also read the beast of trivia that Kim Cottrell would
show up at sea on a wedding dress? Yeah, to try and trick everyone into thinking she was the one
getting married. I like that. Like obviously it was a wasted energy because the whole movie is a
steaming hot pile of garbage.
My favorite bit of IMDB, like, gotcha moment is someone's written in like the, what are they
called?
Like a blooper thing.
Yeah.
Are we on the page?
What?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, we're on the page.
I want everyone to vote us up a little bit more, though.
I want to be higher on the page.
I'm so proud of us.
And whoever put that entrance in for us.
It says at the beginning of the movie, Carrie says she arrived at 3.30, Tuesday, June, 11th.
11th, 1986.
June 11th, 1986 is actually a Wednesday.
Suffering your bloody jocks.
Yeah, absolutely suffering your jocks.
But without question, I've got to share this with you.
The best bit of my adventures into IMD for Sex and the City, too, was, so I was like reading
all the trivia, seeing all the other stuff, and then it says, nominated and won for eight
awards.
Would you like me to read what awards they won?
Yeah, sure.
they won
whatever the EDA special mention award is
for Hall of Shame
for both Michael Patrick King
and Sarah Jessica Parker
nominated
Sexist Pig Award
for Michael Patrick King
the
gay and lesbian
entertainment critics association
they got nominated for
campy film of the year
and at the Razies
they won worst actress
in a four-way type
between Syracan, Kristen and Cynthia.
The worst of times!
They won worst screen couple
and it's got, instead of any names,
it just says the entire cast.
Worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel.
They won that one as well.
And they also got nominated for,
Liza Minnelly got nominated for worst supporting actress,
worst director, MPK,
MKPP.
And worse picture and worse screenplay.
Liza Manali doesn't deserve to be dragged out
in that lot.
She doesn't bang up, I hate that scene so much
now, but she does it.
You loved it the first one, man.
I mean, that's how many times you meant to see it.
What I love though is the guy,
I've forgotten his name already, but the guy who played
Steve, he got wind that he might be
in contention for worst on-screen couple,
and he said, I've never won an award
in my life, I would really like
to go up and accept this and make a speech,
but he didn't win it.
Steve, ah, God, he's such a goddamn
damn legend.
He's such a fucking legend.
Other things I noticed, Tim,
I've got scores of notes
here as well.
Take me through.
Just the ham-fisted
condescension to the audience
right out of the gates, it's like there's
no trust
from MKP
that we can figure things out.
Like the visual cues
syncing up with Carrie's narrative.
So when she says time is a funny thing,
a second can, you know,
flash by or whatever
and a
there's just a slow
panning up zoom
onto like a whole
feature wall of clocks
at Bergdorf.
Oh yeah like a dozen
different clocks
yeah
in the jewelry store
yeah
and I was just
yeah
I noticed it
it's a visual metaphor
that is
meaningless
and entirely
unnecessary
because it's like
visually articulating
the exact words
that she's saying
it doesn't add any
new information
but then they do
exactly the same thing
at the wedding
when it's like
a little one
or later while there's a shot
of the running order of the wedding
just fucking like come on
it's really bad storytelling
is what it is
it's not MKP's best work
Has he done anything outside of sex in the city?
You find out, you Google that
Meanwhile I want to
throw some more shit at you bro
By all means
You're a real piece of shit
Yes
And I wish that you would wear a shirt
When we did these podcasts
I'm in a sleeping bag on a couch.
We really have made it.
So in the intro, in the intro, everyone's entrance to this movie.
He created two broke girls.
That is one of the, like, most slammed TV series in a while, just for it's like, it's so brash.
I haven't actually seen it.
But it did well.
It's still going.
yeah two two broke girls and then i don't know a bunch of shit i don't know about i did some stuff
for will and grace larry david kirby enthusiasm oh he was in it he was in he played a bit part
as an hbo publicist in kirby enthusiasm what season i don't know it was like it's a very
small part oh i'll look it up later um so like uh carrie was working in blooming dales
No, Rachel Greenwood in Bloomingdale's
From Friends
Yeah, at the start
She says I was working in Bloomingdale's
And Miranda was crying in the dressing room
Right?
Oh yeah
So we know that
Carrie originally was working in a Bloomingdale's
Miranda said when she's in the plane
This is bigger than my first apartment
So we know that she came from some humble beginnings as well
And also at the start of the movie
She says Samantha was a bartender at Zb-Geebies
So like all of them were
working class ladies
who have entirely forgotten the struggle
and just treat all of the servers
like shit
wherever they go
and it really fucks me off
because it's like
as someone who's worked
at call centre's Parra Hemplay
I will always treat
people on the phone
pretty well because I know that
it is an absolutely wretched existence
and so you would think
that these ladies would remember
like back in the day
working in a clothing store was hard
working in a bar was hard
Carrie's got a good relationship with
the lady
at the store
who's like I've been chatting on fashion with furniture
there's like a bit of a back and forth
and a friendly tone
I get your point
like they're not good people
but I don't think they disregard
everyone they're like
and you know
I mean
Samantha's just a bloody
rambunctious hero so she's gonna
I think her behaviour towards weight stuff
will fluctuate wildly between being a legend
and a bit of a poopy butthole head.
Yeah, poopie butthole is a word that comes to my mind as well.
Mr. Pooby butthole.
I mean a weird zone this watch.
I feel like there's a part of my body
that's accepted that I'm watching this forever.
I know to what you are referring.
It was kind of weird.
I thought, it was, yeah.
it's kind of like having something just gently dragging you
like some sort of extra piece of gravity
some sort of extra force just pulling you
pulling you down
I think it's like how I've heard drowning
being described that you kind of thrash around for a long time
and then the moment just before you die you sort of accept it
and it's actually sort of like a peaceful way to go
yeah people's I mean this is research which is insane to me
because you know so many people are walking around
with the half-fact
they're like
oh no
drowning's a great way
to go
so here you are
talking to me
on land
like
fucking go do some research
and then we'll
have a conversation
I mean
that has come
from people
who believe
that they came
basically as
as close as you
can come to death
or died
medically for a bit
and then
we brought back
but I don't know
man
I don't know
about all that
like if you say
that you
medically died
well you didn't
if you're still here
you didn't
you didn't die
No, you can do...
You know what I mean?
People say, like, I died for three minutes.
It's like, well...
They did die.
You didn't...
But that's only because we're defining dead
as, like, your heart stops beating.
But I think if you come back from it,
you never really died.
Because dying is when you're dead.
So what, you didn't die,
you just, like, unlocked a new level of sleep.
There you go.
Yeah.
So, like, these people aren't survivors
who have survived death.
These are people...
Like, it's a very...
It's an upper echelon of society.
Hey, listen, I don't want to take away from anyone
who's heart stopped
for any amount of time it's a hell of a ride i imagine and exceptionally dangerous i wouldn't wish it
upon my worst enemy but i'm just saying like all these people we say he died briefly it's like
well fucking he's still here so did he did he die i understand i don't think he did he's not dead
tim who is your worst enemy who is my worst enemy um i don't know i'm not sure that i have one
do you not think that's a shame that we don't have enemies
I don't know that you don't have an enemy
I don't have an enemy
hmm
no I don't think I've got one
should we
seek out an enemy
a shared enemy
we could just make each other our enemies
we've got a yeah
I don't know about that
it would be a shortcut
yeah
well look I like
like you. Like, it's a weird one. It's a weird relationship, but I'm pretty into you.
Thanks, man. It's all the we've got video Skype up so I can see you with that your shirt on.
Yeah. So you're delivering that. For all I know, butt naked.
Nah, I'm in a lounge, bro. You can't, like, I thought about it, but you can't sleep butt naked in someone else's lounge.
I'm in my underpants.
That's probably a more comfortable way to sleep in a sleeping bag, though.
sleeping bags get so hot
so that syntheticness to
Yeah, you don't want your butt
stick into the
Yeah
Yeah
peeling your butt off a sleeping bag
Um
Hey pro
I feel like we're in a weird spot
You and I right now
Real weird man
It's almost like a resigned
There's a resigned sense
To our conversation
Like I feel quite placid
But
Yeah that's the thing
Like I'm not
I'm scared by the fact
That I've lost the anger now
It's just like, it's, it's broken.
Maybe we're broken now.
Maybe it's done it.
Maybe this is the episode where, um, you see us just defeated by the movie.
I will tell you.
Now the movie owns us.
I'm looking.
And stop being, it's stopped being we're watching the movie and now the movie is watching
us.
The tables of turn.
That guy on the phone at the start of the movie in Bergdorf Goodman, who's reporting in that
we're watching it again, he's, he's been watching us the whole time.
And he started telling everyone else in the,
in the world of the film
is like you're not going to believe this
everyone pay very close attention
when we're acting this week if you look
through the movie you'll see these
two guys who are watching it for the 36th time
it's unbelievable
that guy
that guy's the star then that guy's
the star of the whole concept
this weird interdimensional
existence
that he's created
it's weird to think about I wonder what
SJP is doing right now.
She's got a family and a husband.
Has she got kids?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they've got
her and Matt Broderick have got some spawn.
No need to boil it down to
such horrific sounding terms.
Sporn?
That's fine.
Yeah.
I call myself Sporn.
Do you?
Yeah.
It's because you don't respect yourself, guys.
It's the same reason you're sleeping on a couch
in a sleeping bag in someone's lounge.
I do respect myself.
these people don't know I'm here
actually know big shout out to the
tenants of the house
they're really hooking me up
hey so I just typed in Sarah
in Wikipedia
I like that you didn't name them
normally with a shout out you tend to name the people
so that they can get the requisite shout out
I'm breaking all the rules
good man
so what now go
I looked up Sarah in Wikipedia to look up
Sarah Jessica Parker to see if she had kids
she doesn't even register
Sarah, Sarah Churchill
Sarah Palin Sarah Trimmer
Margaret Fuller Sarah Jane Brown
Like Sarah Michelle
You just typed Sarah into Wikipedia
Oh it's Sir Michelle Geller
Now we're talking
She's like
But I wouldn't imagine
She'd be a more popular search than
She's got three kids
Three
Yeah
A more popular search than
Sierra Michelle Geller
I think you're underestimating the love
For Buffy the Vampire Slater
Yeah I think you're right
Such a good show
How did Samantha Jones publicity
Weather the Storm of the 2008 financial crisis
That's what I want to know
how's she still there
feels like she deals with a very
like upmarket end of
the bizzo
of the industry
and those are all the people who
the first thing you cut
when you start running out of budgets
is you start cutting
advertising and marketing and promotion
it's the first thing you cut
how does she still exist
she used to be good at her job
she's writing on
reputation
and I wouldn't be too
surprised. I mean, after this Middle East blow up, if the company is in liquidation, went
into liquidation. She had to release that, she had to release that cute secretary, which is a shame,
because I enjoy catching up with her every week. She deserves a spin-off. She was? Spinoff series.
She should get a spin-off series. She deserves a spin-off series. Oh, and before, I lost the train of
thought, but I was thinking, a Rachel Green appearance in
sex in the city as Rachel Green
that would be
a joy to behold
I was reading about
back on the IMDB page
some people who wanted to be in the movie
Victoria Beckham
was Joneson for a little appearance
in this film
Victoria Beckham
dodged a bullet
posh spice
such a funny name
what posh spice
I think someone's got a joke about it
about how the spice girls told me
I can, no, like the spy skills, it's a New Zealand comic,
the spy skills taught me, I can do any, I can do any career,
I can be sporty, I can be scary, I can be, oh fuck, who says it?
A baby?
I can be posh, yeah, I can be a baby.
Anyway.
Good gag, good bet.
Congratulations to another person who we should shout out, but will not say their name.
God damn it, I feel Ip-y-p-d-p-bo-b-bo-bo-bo-bo.
scuba bo bo bo bo bo scuba do bo scuba bo bo bo bo bo dee bo dee bo bo dee do boo do boo do boo do boo do boo do boo do boo do boo do boo do do do where's he going
your spirit is broken bro yeah i even i didn't even want to do the skating today i just i was like maybe if i try
I'll get into it.
It's one of the most fun things
we get to do every week.
Shit, you're blue, bro.
I'm looking in your eyes
and your cold dead eyes.
Oh, I just want to hug you.
Thanks, man.
I appreciate the thought.
Appreciate the thought.
The warmth and support.
No, I need you to dig deep into that
half brain of yours, Tim,
and tell me, for Christ's sake,
what in God's name is this guy up to?
and where on earth could he be going
Well something that I noticed
Actually I'll tell you what
I'm going to couch my shining light in this as well
Because I didn't even notice this before
But the only time when the gals are in the calf
Where we see our Java warrior
And Brady pops his head up to look at something
Is when he watches coffee guy leave
Dude I noticed that exact same thing this week
It's the only time when he looks
So let's not make any bones about
it. Brady and coffee guy working together. Some shit's going on there. So I feel like,
I still feel like Brady the Rat King is calling the shots because when you're as powerful as he is
and you've got the entire population of New York City's vermin at your fingertips, you don't
play second fiddle to a dude who's really good at drinking coffee. Like that's not something
that happens. Irrespective of what his background is. You think that the power
to harness the power of all vermin in New York City
outweighs the ability to knock back.
I think what we established last week,
he told us what, 99...
How does he do it?
He has 99 cups of coffee for $99,
and then goes out on the street
until he can get enough money to do it again.
I literally, I literally have no memory at all.
I thought it was his dad was an inventor
with the rocket shoes,
but was that the one before?
Oh, fuck, no.
The guys had a life.
hell of a life
we really
we really should stitch
together
all the coffee guy
stories
and like
make a kid's book
about the adventures
of coffee guy
I yeah
we should stitch together
all of the
coffee guy
stories
I don't know
if that all
I don't know
how that all
sink up
but it's worth of crack
anyway
so he's
not well
he was
do you think him
and Brady
was surreptitiously
having a meeting
in the
in the cold light of day
yeah
because
you want to know why
Brady has
telepathy
and it's so strong
that when you put a human
under enough
duress and give them enough
adrenaline and caffeine
they can add a very low level
communicate telepathically with him
that's how powerful
Brady's mind is
yeah
so they were having a right old chitchat
and that's why Brady
sort of just popped his head up to look
that was him saying goodbye
what was being
comrade as he walked out
being communicated
So if you think of Brady, when you're a king or a president, you are the head of the military, right?
So he is the commander-in-chief of the rats.
And what coffee guy is is more like a lieutenant.
So he's kind of got a little division that he's looking after.
Yeah.
And coffee guy is actually in charge of the special operations rat team.
So like a CL-Team 6 rat division.
so they're these specially trained rats
that they know different cultures
they know different languages
they're like part spy part action heroes
you mean different languages
human languages or different rat languages
both
wow
yeah so they can under
I mean they can't talk in human parlors
but they can understand it
and then relay it back in rat to Brady
and they can definitely understand
Danish
and Japanese
Yeah
And whatever
Dick Bot speaks
When he's not
Trying to trick everyone
Like his native
Robot tongue
Wingdings
Yeah
Yes
Dick Bot speaks in wingdings
And Steel Team 6
Rate Division
Can understand that
I'm just
I actually
We need to dig a bit more
into
The coming few
because Dick Bot
versus Brady is just like
whenever I think about the podcast
that's my shining light
of this whole experience
is just cracking back into that
and really trying to get to the bottom
of how this fight's going to go down
because it's going to be huge
that's a big part of what's keeping you going
do you think that if
so Brady's got this
coffee guy is in charge
of the Steel Team 6 rat division
do you think that Dick Bot
has some sort of count
counter to that, like a co-intel
pro sort of program running
where he's like spreading misinformation
little honey pots of
false nuggets to throw Brady off his course.
I think because of the detail in which you
ask the question, I'm going to say absolutely
yes. Like you pretty much
did all the heavy lifting for me there.
So I guess my question is
how is Dickbot throwing Brady off the
trail? What little false breadcrumbs is he
leaving for him to try and
put the battle on
on his terms
first of all
he's a one-man
fuck machine
who is using
the guy given
power of his
robot dick
to get closer
and closer
until he can
infiltrate
Brady's
home
his family home
so is that
the narrative
that he's spinning
or is that
the reality
that's what's actually
up
the narrative
he's spinning
I mean
he's got this
whole
Samantha thing
he's got this
he's got a lot
he's got a lot of
balls in the air with regards to decoys. He's got the Samantha
Fling. I mean, he's being a very supportive partner
while, by all appearances, while her PR firm
goes into liquidation. He's got his
architecture business. I mean, he's got a whole bunch of
patsy's working at an office in Abu Dhabi.
I mean, it's the most 2D operation
in the world. None of the designs are going anywhere.
But they're all on the payroll. I mean, it's all, by all
appearances, it looks legit. But he's...
So he's running an entire shell company that's this architecture firm.
Yeah, and he's pretty much...
Although, you want to know what?
You know how Dick Bot's ultimate plan is to take out the power supply.
Do you know how you fucking can really dig into that?
Getting involved in infrastructure.
You don't know how you get involved with infrastructure.
Have a shell company that's operating as an architecture firm.
That's right.
They let you bloody build new buildings and put...
He's in charge of everything there, but his name isn't on any of it.
And they're trying to get a big contract with...
the US government to redesign the Pentagon.
They're looking at making a dodecahedron.
God knows why.
So, yeah, and pretty much, I mean, Steve, he has a history of philandering, of sleeping around.
Dick Bot is a firm believer that gender isn't binary and sexuality is a spectrum.
And he's pretty much, he's angling towards getting in there.
with Steve
Samantha's a stepping stone
God damn it
that is good
so by doing that
you are taking out
the one weakness
that King Brady has
which is his father
who he's got a lot of love for
the former mayor of New York City
who made an empire
in writing his own dictionaries
that is fucking beautiful
that is like some Star Wars
Luke I am your father level
shit
bro I love that
I love you loving it
it makes me feel good
it's real good
it's probably time
to crack open
a big leather bound
smoky book
that I like to call
Mr Big's big book of ideas
I
concur
pages of scribbles
pages of ideas
pages of diagrams
and also
one page where he took a shit
on the book
and then closed it
in some sort of ink-blooding
Rorschak test to himself
gone horribly.
He's a weird dude.
There's feces in the book
that is so unnecessary, bro.
Yeah, it's his own though.
That doesn't make it any better.
He's an experimental guy.
Do you know what Mr. Biggs
been working on in that book this week?
Tell me. Tell me.
He has been, because he doesn't have any keyboards
so he can't use the internet.
He has been literally since Kerry left for Abu Dhabi,
he has been working so hard to figure out the time difference
like every with every fibre of his being
all he wants to know is what the time is in the Middle East
so he can like what is he using what clothes does he have to try
and start building this roadman he started from scratch
he's got like the very rudimentary understanding of time
and he's got like all these graphs and diagrams
and everything in his book like and he's so he's working so hard
he's working so hard
and they haven't really been in touch
since she's been there
because he's got no idea
when an appropriate time to talk is
and then she calls him up right
to tell her about Aiden
and as soon as she calls him up
he picks up the phone and goes
well it's 2 a.m. over there
you can't still be jet lagged
and she doesn't even acknowledge
his work
and I think
that the huge problem
that comes up in their relationship
isn't rooted in her kissing Aiden
it is the lack of respect he gets
for, I mean, for successfully...
For all of the work in mass and time
and mental energy that is pretty figuring
at the time difference.
For her to have the perspective
of how hard exactly he's worked on this.
But like even an acknowledgement of going,
oh wow, you know, well done.
Or it's nice of you to research that.
I know you don't have the internet.
Isn't big our favourite little digger, you know?
he's operating in the market's colorblind
not really knowing what's going on
he's trying to figure out time zones
without a clue as to like
kind of how to get it done
fuck he's just battling away man
he's hot to trot
he's so hot to trot
um and
because the other thing is
aiden is bragging about the internet
at the dinner he is with carrie
you know how he's like he tells carrie
he knows she's married he's like yeah my wife
showed me something on the internet
which is an up-and-coming venture
I think is going to be going places pretty soon
but yeah
I mean so what do you think he's like showing off
to rub it in on Carrie's face somehow
well yeah it's sort of like yeah
does Carrie know that big is
does Carrie know that big can't get online
because he doesn't have a keyboard
uh yes
gotcha
she does know so that's how she that's why she should be so
impressed by him figuring out the time difference because she knows he
he can't do it any other way and that's why the internet dig is quite a
it sort of as a needling dig for her because she knows big's not on the internet and this guy
so she everyone knows that big's not on the internet this is like everyone at the wedding
understands that big does not have internet access god wouldn't you feel so you i'd treat
them like a leper if i was at a wedding with someone and we just all knew that there was one guy
who was not on
I'd be like
I've got nothing
to talk to you about
like what
could we possibly discuss
that's hilarious
nice weather we're having
that's why every
old school movie conversation
goes like this
hi sir hi
nice weather we're having
it sure is
and then the conversation ends
because before the internet
what the fuck was anyone talking about
the weather is never going to go anywhere
as a conversation point
because it is the one thing
that is constantly
you know we're all
it's happening all around all of us
simultaneously. It's a great united front for humanity, the weather.
I just quickly, before we go to him, I'd like to talk about the wedding one last time,
which is...
Of course.
So, they're all, when they all get there,
they're all exchanging kind of thinly veiled homophobic jibs about the entire operation.
And then...
This one does.
And since, I think Charlotte or someone...
Charlotte says, shouldn't we be a little more PC?
and then
Anthony comes over
and he's like
Can you believe this?
It looks like
the Snow Queen exploded
and then Big says
How's that for PC
And she says true
That comment is in no way
offensive to anyone
It has struck me
Every time I've seen the movie
I'm like
What is this exchange
But yeah
Like is the Snow Queen
Do we need to be politically correct
Towards Snow Queens
They're not fucking
real.
I don't get that either at all.
If he said, so, okay, this is how the line would make sense.
And maybe this was the original writing of it in the network where like this isn't,
or the studio were like, this isn't happening.
He was like, can you believe how wide it is in here?
It's like George Michael treated it like his own outdoor toilet.
Yeah.
Not my best work.
No.
I'm trying to paint a mental image of everything's got jizz on it, guy.
everything's been jizzed on
there's jizz everywhere
that's what the white thing's all about
running around with a bucket
sloping it into the bucket
so he can
uh
it looks like mr big's
discusis exploded in here
how's that for PC
fucking
well I guess we've got to be nice to big
because he doesn't have the internet
and he's colour blind
so that isn't very PC
anyway
yeah it's good
which is probably a good thing
for Mr Big
because he can't read
all of the horrible
horrible things people are saying
about his product
in general
approach to life.
All right, it's been real.
I want to bring back the Machetsky somehow
so look forward to that next step.
Hey, also, we've got some cool things
that are happening soon.
We've got some cool guests coming on soon.
Yeah.
So look forward to that.
And, oh, if anyone wants to jump on board
and sponsor the show, just get in touch with us.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
and please rate and review us on iTunes
or whatever your listening application is.
Oh, you have taken it too fucking far.
Me pleading for money is one thing,
but you begging people for reviews on iTunes
is beyond the pale, my friend.
This is Guy Montgomery saying Tim Bat,
why don't you go fuck yourself, friend?
This is Tim Bat signing off to go fuck himself.
Goodbye everyone. See you next week.
It's the worst idea of all time.
It's the worst idea of all time.
Season two.
