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. Hello, welcome again to TWIOAT. I think I nailed at that time. Absolutely out of the gates. This episode of... We're out of the gates. We're unshackled. We're running wild. Do we study?
Starting point is 00:00:28 A couple of horses. A couple of horses in a field. Do I just have to go with you? No, you do it. Okay. This episode is brought to you by Big Pipe Broadband. Horses. It's the shers. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:00:40 It's quicker than 50 horses going around the track, racing each other. It is seriously quick. It is the Macaibi diva of internet. They do ADSL. They do VDS. No, maybe they don't do ADSAL. They do don't fuck around. They do cable.
Starting point is 00:00:53 They do proper internet. And you should all sign up. Use the code worst idea. When you sign up, you get a free month. and what a deal best internet you can get it's so bloody cheap you've got to bring your own modem
Starting point is 00:01:04 because that's how they keep the cost down and if you are not there's no contract if you're not living in New Zealand you do not get this time back 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
Starting point is 00:01:21 oh Jesus hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time with me Tim Bat and me, Guy Montgomery, coming to you live from the streets of Grayland, Auckland, New Zealand. Let go of your thing. Oh shit. Okay. Yeah, we got bored of doing the regular recording doors, so we thought we'd take a walk like last time.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Which didn't actually... I forgot about that, but that was the one time we completely lost the thing. That's right. Is this a cry for help you ask? Almost definitely yes. I feel like we're taking this road show to the streets in the hopes of the... that someone will stop us and maybe talk us down. Oh, off this ledge, off this horrible, terrible ledge.
Starting point is 00:02:03 So this is episode number 38. 8? What? 38. Watch 37, episode 38. I hate this every week. Our little podcast that we call The Worst Idea of All Time, where we watch and review the movie, Sex in the City, every single week. Sex in the City, 2.
Starting point is 00:02:23 For a year. Yep. And we did it again, don't know what to tell you at this point. Still not good. That hasn't changed. Same people in the movie, same line, same direction. The music is the same. It's all the same.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yeah, it is almost indistinguishable from the movie we watched last week. And the week before that, and the week before that, add infinitum. There's certainly, yeah, there's definitely motifs running through every film. I mean the things are carbon copies of each other It's an absolute Wait, we've gone the wrong way Down my street Where does this go?
Starting point is 00:03:01 I haven't been down to this bit It looks like it's public domain It's going down to Western Spring Whoa, that's a street Oh shit This leads to my house This is the bit on Western Springs Where we went for our joint last time
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, we're on the other side of the road though Yes So is this the Bullock track Oh fancy that, eh? Anyway, Google Maps that if you want to know where I'll turn by lips. That is interesting. God, this is, we're going to have to really, are we going up or down? Down.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Down. We're going to have to really labour to discuss the movie this week because I tell you what it feels fucking fantastic to be in motion. Well, let me open up with a shining light. How about that, eh? Okay. I've already forgotten what it was, but I did say it out. out loud so I wouldn't forget. Do you remember what I said?
Starting point is 00:03:55 Oh, I remember the idea of what you said. You said, and I'm saying this now because otherwise I won't remember. Is that all you remember of what I said? Almost exactly what I said is what I remember. Ah, geez. I think I remember mine, though. Okay, you go. It was just, I felt like the actors and the whole operation
Starting point is 00:04:18 was actually almost amounting to something for one of the scenes today. uh oh when carrie confesses to the girls in the hotel that she kissed aden and she's saying uh she's saying oh i've kissed aden and then like charlotte and man no i've got covered together guy charlotte and miranda uh like sort of acting drunk and trying to uh put feedback in and i felt like they actually almost achieved some comedy and some like emotional power in the scene they were right on the cusp of it this week. They didn't quite get over the line, but it was a sign of life
Starting point is 00:04:55 that I haven't seen for neary on, you know, a month. They gave it a god-honest try, didn't they? They really did. They were really going for it. Going for it this week. I am really pissed off that I can't remember what I said. Usually if you say something out loud like that,
Starting point is 00:05:12 even when it is in the middle of the movie, it puts a little time stamp on your brain, you know, shit. So why are we crossing a road? Um, I don't know. Why wouldn't we? Because we're going this way. We're going this way now. This is just very narrow. I'm walking like a crab. I'm walking side on right now. Look at my footwork.
Starting point is 00:05:38 You're doing really well. Sorry, I can't really go over more. You might catch some fireworks going off around us as well. We're not in a war zone. We're just in New Zealand. what we like to do to celebrate people who unsuccessfully but get very close to bombing up Parliament in Britain like 300 years ago. We like to commemorate them by blowing stuff up of our... Everyone in sort of city, suburban areas is conscripted to buy the same box of fireworks from the warehouse. And then we are all given a roster which they schedule us to detonate each respect of fireworks.
Starting point is 00:06:19 It's all very regimented and organized. And accordingly, I mean, it's the longest lasting Guy Fawkes Holiday internationally, but it is a real fucking nuisance. I mean, you've just got one or two Roman candles every 20 to 40 seconds. Terrible for pets, too. It's a really hard life being a domesticated cat or dog in this city and country to a great extent. But there's more people here, you know, so. Definitely only in the city.
Starting point is 00:06:46 They've got it good in the country. Yeah? Yeah. We've still got to set our fireworks every now and then, and they wouldn't be used to people at all. So it would be, how do you say, confusing for them, shocking even. Look, I'm not too phased either way, presently, about the pets. I'm just saying it's a game of two halves.
Starting point is 00:07:06 These cows on the farm. Fireworks scare the sheep. I think people are very confused by our appearance. It feels like there's a lot of tension in the air. We walked past a woman and looked absolutely baffled just moments ago when she looked over and saw us both with headphones on talking into a beanie. Yeah, it's a pretty out there look. And we have to walk in remarkably close proximity to each other
Starting point is 00:07:34 on account of the headphone jack. Sorry, I got very close to the microphone as I ducked under an incoming branch. Look, I don't want to wear any of this. I just want to sit down and go toe to toe with you. V-R-V the 2010, critical. panned box office smash i think sex in the city too um okay here are my thoughts we've got a woman who doesn't know how to act when she's talking and sir jessica parker but it's very good at acting when she's not talking and other people are talking kim katrille is the inverse where
Starting point is 00:08:12 she can sell me on a character when she's delivering lines but she cannot do reactive acting your thoughts yeah I think that's a good level of depth to be bringing to the table and I'm inclined to agree I've never really watched the performances with that particularly in mind or been moved to notice it
Starting point is 00:08:31 did you just make sort of greet your guys with that person as we walk by us it's a friendly neighbourhood as if to be like hey no don't worry we're totally okay well yeah kind of to be honest I'd be pretty freaked out if I was walking down the pavement and us came at me. It will be okay.
Starting point is 00:08:50 We're sitting a pretty reasonable pace. Yeah, I could probably do with a slowdown, take it down half a gear. I'm not sure why we were just motoring down the footpath. I think in my mind I was drawing some connection between if I walk faster, the experience will be over faster. As though the quicker we walked, the faster time moved. Funnily enough, that ain't how it works on this show.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So look, let's talk about it. Let's talk about Michael Patrick King's magnum opus. She's long. I'll open with that. I don't know if you guys have heard me mention that before, but the duration is whopping. That's how I would describe it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Oh, no, this wasn't a shining light. This was just an observation. But the fact that Michael Patrick King in the script expresses two times out loud when things are funny. Two times. twice now the first time is when big meets Carmen Garcia
Starting point is 00:09:52 carry on carry on is that you I will that's just a little joke for us and those who've seen the movie actually if you've seen the movie that still won't be funny it's if you've seen the movie 35 times with Guy and you make a little joke about the last name
Starting point is 00:10:06 of Carmen Dears no no no no who am I saying she says her name no who am I saying though what's her name Carmen No, no, I mean the actual actress Penelope Cruz. Penelope Cruz, Carmen Dears. Very different people.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Absolutely mangled. Ah yeah, no, she's an big introduces her as Carmen Garcia, carry on, and then she corrects him for his accent to say carry on, and then he says, carry on. Well, he should say that. He was in a British country.
Starting point is 00:10:35 You know what's not important. The fact is that joke is... I mangled the delivery. Jokes between going and I have to exist to kind of for us to be on the life raft, you know? Now, as I was saying, two points in the script when we know that Michael Patrick King thinks that he's written a real zinger of a line.
Starting point is 00:10:51 One of it is then when Carmen's talking a big and, uh, shit, there's a joke early on in the exchange about how he needs to keep it up for her. Yeah. What would you assume? Heavy innuendo towards, uh, an erection. But what she's actually talking about is the stock market, allegedly.
Starting point is 00:11:12 At least that's what gets explained to Carrie. Yeah. But it's villainous. What happens after that is as they depart, because Carrie so rudely interrupts the interaction and cock blocks her own husband, which I think is very inconsiderate. They curtail the conversation,
Starting point is 00:11:32 and he says, I'll try to keep it up for you. Carmen Garcia-Kirion, then says he's very funny. Your husband is very funny. Now, is that a funny joke, first off? No, it's not only is it not funny. It's completely inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Like, wholly. Yeah. Wholly inappropriate. I would be appalled to see anyone of my friends or anyone at all. You such heavy-handed, in your face, humour, whether or not they had a spouse at all. We're going to the supermarket just so you know. I'm positioning a detour on us, okay? We're going to take this road show into the supermarket
Starting point is 00:12:13 You got it Okay Oh man Now the second time So the other 50% of the time When Michael Patrick King's signpost The fact that he's had a real zinger Is when we first see Dickbott
Starting point is 00:12:27 No the second time we see Dickbott In the karaoke bar And he says Would you be available tomorrow night to Samantha And she says I'd be open Yeah I'd be very open So what I mean
Starting point is 00:12:40 what do you get from that? I'm available all night. I'd be open. What do you take from those words? Like, she's, like Samantha Jones is pretty keen. Look at you, you bashful little South Island boy? You're adorable. They're going to do it. They're going to do it. There's no two ways about it. Sex? There's no way there's far going to do it. It's a sex thing. Yeah. Anyway, in response to this.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Frankly, I find how overtly sexual those two characters are, throughout the film. But then Dickbock goes, you're very funny, Samantha. And again, not a funny joke! There are better jokes in the film. Not many, but there's a couple. You're saying the parts of the movie
Starting point is 00:13:25 in which Michael Patrick King pats himself on the back and says, yep. Yeah, the only two times people are congratulated for being funny are those two times. Well, like if the last 37 or six weeks have a sandwich anything, it's that maybe you and Michael Patrick King don't share a sense of humour entirely at this point in time. You could be right
Starting point is 00:13:44 I could be overthinking this because like in other movies you don't measure all the times that someone is sad by them saying the words, I'm sad, do you? So you shouldn't count every joke only counting as when someone else says, you're funny. Yeah, I think that's a fair way to look at it.
Starting point is 00:14:00 So, um, all right, scratch that observation. Go fuck yourself, Guy Montgomery. Certainly. It'll be a pleasure. Still no weird on that shining light, folks. I've been looking everywhere high and low. Cannot find the bugger. Coming through the recesses of his mind.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Oh, I tell you what, though. Let's get this a little bit warmed up before we get into the old super. Scooby-a-doo. Good call. Scooby-dib-bib-bo. Scoo-de-b-Bob-Boh. Ford planning.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Sccribib-da-p-b-b-bub. Goodwill fish and chips. Scuba-bib-bib-bib-bub-doo. Scuba-bib-bib-bub-doo. Scoo do, scuba do, scooo, scooo, scoo, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, sco, scoo, scoo, scoo, scoooo, boe, what's he doing? Why is he rapping? Okay. That's the question that we ask every single week. You're used to it by now, folks. You know how this works? Yeah, and as always, strong showing, uh, from our Java-dicted, fucking rocket-bladed, uh maniac
Starting point is 00:15:11 gold gelded award nominated fist clenched entrepreneurial academic sexually gifted to say the least pretty much
Starting point is 00:15:25 he is getting all loaded up on caffeine to write a memoir oh this is Kelly me we checked out so many adjectives we need to chuck a noun on it man was the last thing Java man yeah pretty much he's he's taking stock
Starting point is 00:15:39 of his lot in life and how he's gotten there in his story and he's realized it's a pretty interesting one. You'd almost say it's one worth telling and he's set to work on that pretty much immediately. I have read the autobiography and if I may, would you like a little shortened version of this man's life? Absolutely. Coffee Guy was born to a Polish father and a Russian mother in the year He was actually born in Russia, but his parents wanted to get him out of there as soon as possible because they had big plans for him attending at American University and really making something of himself. So they saved up all their money and they shipped him off alone at age seven to the States.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And because Java Man knew how hard his parents had worked and what they'd sacrificed to send him there, he just had the sense that he had to do everything in his power spend every single moment possible dedicated to realizing the dream they'd set for him at the expense of realizing their own dreams so he set to work on just nailing school the best at school so there was no consideration for life beyond school or outside of school
Starting point is 00:16:54 he was single-mindedly going to absolutely dominate his schooling experience yeah no one was going to be better than Coffee guy, it looks open, eh? So, he said to work from Day Dot. He was in there, eight years old, started winning first place prizes for the National Spelling Bee. By the age of his 10, he was on his way to getting a full academic scholarship.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Things were looking super, super bright for this guy. And he actually got into Harvard, took them up on their generous offer of free tuition for being a good bastard. That's a very impressive achievement, and he worked hard for it. He did. He was on his way to a law degree. This is a wonderful and sort of inspiring account of what hard work can achieve. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Oh, what I didn't tell you is when he was in middle school. What? I don't know how to regulate my volume now. We're in a supermarket. Well, I just hang with me, baby doll. I'll do the heavy lifting. So his parents died when he was in middle school, by the way, both of them in a car car car. It's very sudden, very awful.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Yeah. But here is how the rest of the tail goes down. This guy's working towards, because he's gotten his long. law degree from Harvard now and he's trying to get himself a PhD a PhD guy and what? Psychology. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Yeah, because he wants to be the best lawyer possible so he needs to understand the human mind better than anyone else. What are you looking for? Lollies. Okay. We've gone down the wrong aisle that's all that's happened there. Now, while this guy was starting his early university career
Starting point is 00:18:28 he really noticed the change in the workload between sort of high school junior school and then kicking up to college level like it was a whole different beast and he didn't know
Starting point is 00:18:39 how to do it he couldn't just use his natural facilities to achieve the results he needed to achieve that's right so at first the guy got hooked on Adderall
Starting point is 00:18:47 for a while too started taking a real toll on his liver and he got hospitalized one day from Adderall overdose and the doctor
Starting point is 00:18:58 the doctor says there's no way you can take all that out of all. You're killing yourself. It was Steve's cousin, Grieve. Grieve, hell of a doctor. Not a great communicator. Yeah. He's actually got a pretty pain relationship with Steve,
Starting point is 00:19:17 but that's a different story. So, um... I've got to get a drink. Okay, he got addicted to coffee, is the long and short of it. His doctor prescribed the sweet, hot, dark magic. The only way you're going to get this thing, the fact is that it all without the side of stuff, if you got it. He prescribed more coffee and a labored final breath. And just like his parents, Dr. Grieve died that day.
Starting point is 00:19:50 That's right. And this is the thing is it's like, would you take medical advice from a doctor who gave it to you in their final passing breath? and I think not but you know whatever it's not my call that's why you're not coffee guy and coffee guy is so he really took this to heart
Starting point is 00:20:06 in addition to being an incredibly hard worker and a very sharp intellectual the guy's very emotional you know yeah and I mean you can see that he wears his heart on his sleep and got a lot of love and respect for the guy I'm going to get two drinks
Starting point is 00:20:21 okay very good so I mean that's how he got addicted to coffee that's kind of chapter one of his life chapter one there's three chapters in this book um the second chapter uh it tells it's a pretty long
Starting point is 00:20:35 first chapter yeah i know but it's like you know you go get all the context to get into the real story it's important it's important you're right real bones of it um this is like and all this remember this is just what he's what cover guy's working away on in the episode this week he's busy as a beaver he's busy as a bee sure is so at this stage uh our man's 32 years old
Starting point is 00:20:54 he is equipped with a PhD in psychology and a master's of laws from Harvard which he just checked on on the side and he decides that
Starting point is 00:21:08 he wants to get involved in local body politics so he runs to become mayor of Stanton Connecticut yeah on the back of a pretty controversial policy yeah he grandstanded on a
Starting point is 00:21:23 no more deer policy he wanted to extend all the deer in Connecticut, which seems insane. You just got to flatten out that barker. There we go. That's one. And that's two. Nice.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Oh, you didn't put it in a bag. We don't need a bag. This is a nightmare. Don't use bags, everyone. So, there we were observing this champion, going for his inaugural political maneuver. Oh, man, these checkouts take so long. It's the same. So many buttons.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Split claim. Okay. This one's... Is this working? This one's got a virus or something. Oh, no. All right, I think we've cracked it. Guys, press the combination of buttons now.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Now this is just the people listening to us. Okay, we're good. It's chapter two. You wouldn't have thought that Stanton, Connecticut. That would be a town that was very fond of hardcore Democrats. But I got news for you, folks. If you give those guys a dream, you give them a vision. They will support you for themselves and for their kids.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And what coffee guy laid down as a platform was no less than extreme progressive liberalism. You want to put that in my bag? It wasn't well received. Oh, we can't get a receipt. Your payment was. No, no, no, just the receipt. I definitely feel like, no, that way. Anywho's.
Starting point is 00:23:07 So, there he is. He's elected against all polling and odds to be the mayor of Stanton, Connecticut. And that's where he starts making some real social change. Because we're only in the 80s now, if I've done my math, right. He's a caffeinated maniac. And I really think, I mean, what this autobiography needs from the first draft
Starting point is 00:23:30 I've seen of coffee guys work is a judicious edit. It probably needs to take a long outlook at itself. And there's the whole chunks. There's whole junk's in the book which I've just got to go in my opinion. Oh, yeah, and I'll tell you what else. wouldn't do badly with a proofreader either
Starting point is 00:23:58 grammar in this thing is incredibly poor and I feel like even though I wasn't involved neither of us were in the writing of the first chapter I was just relaying it yeah I know and you're doing a good I was doing an accurate job you were editing on the fly
Starting point is 00:24:14 yeah there's not even the whole damn first chapter of the book this thing is thick like an ocean it just goes for days long story short the guy winds up a addicted to caffeine like hoaring himself
Starting point is 00:24:28 out on the streets in New York and it's sort of like I mean it's classic cliffanger it's like how's he going to bounce back from this stick around for the second part of the book yeah you got the first three chapters that's one half of the book and then the second three
Starting point is 00:24:44 comprising your is a new book your standard half does chapter structure comprising two books yeah everyone's seen that the man's best The man is anything but traditional, and the great words of Aiden, the guy from Sex and the City, too.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Aidan carries ex-boyfriend and future smushy mouth. Well, this is the greatest mirage I ever saw, and I had some peyote in Arizona once that blew my head off. See, now, okay, here's the thing. You need to be careful of your memory, son, because what you're doing is giving the movie too much credit. Because Aiden doesn't say, this is the best mirage I've ever seen. He incorrectly states this is the best mirage I've ever had. is not something that you can't have. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Well, yeah, you're right. I auto-corrected that for them. Do you know why that is? I'm like, I'm one of those guys. You're like, you're like Clippy from Windows 98. You're from Word. You're like, hey, so you're trying to write a movie script that makes sense, Michael Patrick King. Can I assist?
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'm bonzie, buddy. I talk. I email. You're the personal assistant. No one asked for. No, but what, you know, I'm one of those guys who went, you know, those Facebook puzzles? when they're the same first and last three in the world but they jumble up all the middle.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Yeah, and it still makes perfect sense. Yeah, I'm one of those guys. You know, when I read it, I just read it perfectly. I just get it first try. Like I'm just, you know, I'm just one of those super, super smart guys. Yeah, great to hear. Yeah, I mean, yeah. You know, and according to the polls, like, only 1% of people can do that,
Starting point is 00:26:14 so whatever. Well put. You are the smartest man in the room right now. Now, I would like to open another book, a different book, a leather-bound book, a delicious chocolatey brown book, a book that smells of age, distinction, and semen, because it's time to open up. Because it's plentful with ideas. Mr. Biggs, big book of ideas, the book upon which John...
Starting point is 00:26:45 Sina! No, no. Shit. What is... Preston. Preston. John Philip Preston, I believe. Blots down his thoughts and musings on the state of the world and ideas to maybe improve
Starting point is 00:27:00 it for all, or for himself financially. It's full of all manner of ideas. He actually bought the, he relabeled the front page, but he actually bought, and this was pointed out to us by a fan, he bought the book from a merchandise company called LamanSofts Laminated Limited. uh which is the future adventures of
Starting point is 00:27:23 fader in the boys huh erics really don't well for himself now it's a subset of his uh auto mechanic uh where it was first of all it was just mechanic mechanics diaries and that sort of he started he had this great big book
Starting point is 00:27:37 just chock you know that Kevin James would keep in character as Eric Lamontsoff on the set of grownups too he's just blown down all these blotchings and etchings and weird colourings of ideas and uh eventually that product got refined through the workshoping process
Starting point is 00:27:51 into a range of sort of thought journals and as it turns out that's exactly the book that Mr Big is using so it's not like as we originally suspected just a blank turn the page
Starting point is 00:28:03 kind of journal it's like each page has a directive or a statement on it this page this opening of the book is no exception because and this week's exciting I don't want to say chapter
Starting point is 00:28:16 usually we'd say chapter but literally we're dealing with a book so we can't use the metaphor of chapter, we have to be literal and say the page. Page we're dealing with this week is Big's big idea to reduce the vermin population vis-à-vis diminished the threat of Brady the Rat King and his never-ending blood quest.
Starting point is 00:28:35 So, after recently watching Die Hard 3, somewhat bemoaned by some, hugely enjoyed by this reviewer, if I'm... You really, you spat your drink out there, You're right? When you call yourself a reviewer, I always do a spit-take.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Sorry, say that again? When you call yourself a reviewer, I always do a spit-take. I've only done it once. Very good. Yeah, that's literally the only time I've ever called myself a reviewer, too, so that fits. So, as I was saying, he's surveying the area. He's seeing too many rats out there, too much power in Brady's pocket. it and he's recently seen
Starting point is 00:29:15 Die Hard 3 in which there's a lot of riddles that John has to solve shit well this isn't good because my memory is always sketchy, particularly in franchises I roll movies together and then I have movies that aren't even part of the trilogy so get prepared to get pissed off internet no you guys will love it
Starting point is 00:29:35 it'll be a better one I'm pretty sure this is right in the third one that's when there's riddles has to solve like because it's Hans's cousin or something he's like simple simon met a pymond at the fair simple simon said fuck i can't remember how the rest of it goes anyway there's a lot of riddles
Starting point is 00:29:53 now one of these particular riddles relates to um hats cats kittens I think mittens and wives how many going to say knives right yeah so after watching this movie recently he starts thinking about kittens
Starting point is 00:30:11 and then he starts thinking about cats and then he's like holy smokes the one thing that could take down the rats are super powerful domestic cats because they love it so Mr Big gets on developing a breeding program to just get the pet population out of control
Starting point is 00:30:28 and as it turns out to increase a number of cats in New York City it's actually really easy all you have to do is outlaw fixing your pets like it becomes illegal to get your cats paid well it's inhumane It's so it's been said.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Exactly. Think of all those young kittens that never got born because your cat got fixed, you know? It's an act against God, I would say. So, in a campaign, to put this to an end, big sets about using his millions to gather together churchgoers, moral ponderers, ethical statesmen who are on the right side of the ledger,
Starting point is 00:31:11 and bandies them together. that had come up with a propaganda campaign to convince everyone else that spaying your cat is a terrible thing to do. A moral. It should be illegal. And they pass a motion in the city council
Starting point is 00:31:24 and it becomes an ordinance that if a vet is caught fixing a cat in that town, henceforth, they get run out of town, which is a weird law to make. That's not an everyday punishment. Can you retract me? Is this, did Mr. Big create and enforce this law?
Starting point is 00:31:41 He initiated the committee that came up with the propaganda campaign. They hired some lobbyists and got this law passed, right? He did. Yeah, Big did. He's at the top. He's alpha dog. That is a win from a guy who couldn't need it more, and it couldn't come at a better time.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I am so happy for him. So, well, look, this isn't the end of the tale. Obviously. The thing is, like... It's just a butter thread in life's rich tapestry. Almost overnight. The cat population becomes completely out of control. and unfortunately it's the worst cats that are having more kittens
Starting point is 00:32:15 like the most vicious, feral, disgusting, sexually aggressive cats are just going around creating this offspring that passes their aggressive seed on, right? This is terrifying for the people of New York. Yeah, because in your head you'll go like, if we outlaw spying cats, we'll just be populated by lots of cute little kittens. Not how it works. No, this is, the Simpsons didn't ever say.
Starting point is 00:32:41 about this. This is the cane-toed effect. Yeah, I guess it is. We could have been going there. I guess we're not anymore. So anyway, these cats get completely out of control. An overly aggressive population that's just go around scratching, biting, giving everyone rabies. And unfortunately, that's when Big has to pull out the big guns. Because, you know, he's a smart guy. He's always got a backup, a plan B, and release the virus that he was secretly working on at the same time.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Jesus Christ. That takes out the entire female population. of cats yeah just cats not feline humans oh I thought you said female you said feline
Starting point is 00:33:19 oh okay so problem solved essentially so he yeah it's like a it's like a caper sort of movie or an episode of a sitcom where oh no
Starting point is 00:33:31 I slipped on a banana peel and accidentally created a mutant strain of cats who are destroying everything and then by the end of the episode sort of like outbreak or yeah what is it called 24 days later 14 days later I don't know
Starting point is 00:33:45 the virus movie it's bloody good 28 days later I think oh yeah the zombie movie yeah with Sandra Bullock in it yeah yeah in the bus yeah no this is good this is all good hey Tim this is all good stuff it's great stuff so that's where he's at
Starting point is 00:34:00 I just wanted to let you know how that went on that book I've got to say we have pretty much had a nuclear reaction to the movie this week if you chart our experience watching it and our experience talking about it, the thing is fucking, like, there's literally a force field between us and that goddamn thing right now. It is actually, we can't touch it,
Starting point is 00:34:19 it can't touch us, we're both toxic. This fucking situation is getting out of hand. The crazy thing is, though, what previously would happen is we'd be physically repelled from taking it in in a sensory fashion, so we would, like, look elsewhere. But now we seem to have gained the ability to look and listen directly at the movie, whilst taking in none of what it has to throw,
Starting point is 00:34:39 throw out at us. Sort of like our body's absorbed the maximum amount of sex in the city too that it can. And now it's like it just... Oversaturated. Yeah, it's just... Our body is rejecting it. You know, which is an interesting thought, and I defy any of you. If you want to have a crack, by all means, I mean, we've laid the blueprint out.
Starting point is 00:34:56 It's not exactly rocket science. Is there anyone else we've got to check on this week? How are you doing? I'm doing well. How you doing? I'm also doing well. grow out your shining light? No, no sir. No sir, I didn't. Did you come up with the replacement? Could be anything. I guess it would have to be to the three gentlemen that they drink to in the
Starting point is 00:35:26 desert when they're having their little picnic. I've always tried to remember their names, but I never do. Yeah. Do you want to have a crack? Hatimi is the final one. You're right. You're correct. You're correct. They strain to remember that name, which is why it's so noticeable as an audience member. But, I mean, it comes back down to just the toxic effect that the movie and I have on one another. I'm pretty sure it's not in that. We're focusing on the positive, guy.
Starting point is 00:35:55 It's five syllables. Two names, five syllables. The first two, the second three, I'm pretty confident. I think I've got the rhythm of it. I just don't know the names. Hatimi and the boys, this one's for you. I'm going to pour some of my apple juice. juice out for you.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Oh, you're going to put, oh, okay, like a mark of respect. At this juncture... Get it on Mike. Nice. That's for Hittemi and the boys. At this change, I would like to remind everyone to please, if you're in New Zealand, or if you know someone in New Zealand, get them on big pipe. It's literally the greatest thing to happen to New Zealand internet since it started here,
Starting point is 00:36:35 which was a lot more recently than you'd think. But it's very fast. I'm going to plan on Big Pipe at the moment where I get 200 mips up and down. That's not fuck around speed, bro. That's not side to side, everybody. That's up the river, right back down the other side. Two rivers is a tributary. And what I'm saying is this is a tribute to Big Pipe.
Starting point is 00:36:55 What a provider. I mean, they are the ocean. They are the moving water of a nept fighters. The cat's knees in the bees' pajamas, and they don't ever throttle your speeds, ever whatsoever. It's capless. All your loved ones. There's no caps in asses There's no caps on your internet
