Starting point is 00:01:27 Coming to you from the dark we are in pitch-blank darkness now folks Tim back and Guy Montgomery coming to you from a singular location for the first time in a little while and it's the middle of the night we decided to just fucking do this Lights out
Starting point is 00:01:43 Lights out It's a slumber party Put your gym jams on Getting your sleeping bag Make some smores As time for some bed night Bedtime stories Adding it like
Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah it's halfway between Dangerous and lovely Which I That's very much the sleepover vibe that's what's so cool our sleepovers they're exciting
Starting point is 00:02:03 yeah I was you're with your mates it's cool I was a classic fall asleep early kid in a sleepover I'm sure it doesn't surprise you do you ever wet yourself
Starting point is 00:02:11 at a sleepover oh that was the worst no I don't think I did pretty good bladder control what I don't know if that's true mate
Starting point is 00:02:22 I guess bladder control I guess technically you're right you don't even very strong long bladder. I've got a powerful bladder. No.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah, no. Just straight up and down. No, that's not true. My GP told me when I was 12 years old, he said, your bladder has the density of an overinflated football. There's bullshit though, because you and I both know that you, you just, you piss all the time. You're built like an athlete, mate. You're just constantly
Starting point is 00:02:47 you're past... Built like a horse. I have the left leg of a horse. Yeah, you're like an athletic horse. Look. Constantly escaping being eaten by hungry people. people. People don't farm horse to eat. Or they, no, they don't really.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Well, they should really stop that saying then, because it's a hell of a misnomer. It's true. There was a lot of outcry when it came out that McDonald's and other places have been serving horse meat. I don't think that was McDonald's. No, it wasn't. It was in the UK, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:03:18 A few years ago. Supermarket meat. They were fucking TV dinners. That was the whole thing. I was like, oh, really? You're up on your excuse-the-pun high horse spying TV dinners and expecting not a fucking horse and
Starting point is 00:03:32 the thing is you've been so selective man like what's the difference between a horse and a sheep you should be like you've got some horse in there yeah I would expect radioactive waste to be making out of the filler in those TV dinners we're studying of all time as a podcast where myself and Guy watched the same movie every week for a year we did a whole season of
Starting point is 00:03:53 grown-ups too and Adam Sandler stinker and And this year, we're in the closing stretch of Sex and the City 2 and old-time fans at the podcast who aren't just dipping in for the first time. We'll notice the theme has changed. Thanks again to Josh Peters, because I feel like the mood has changed for these last few, I. It's quite, yeah, it's sort of, it's solemn, it almost felt nostalgic.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I haven't heard the music play, like that music playing at the start of a really coloured, it's, yeah, it's really coloured my experience. But just in terms of this home stretch, man, like, fuck, I am done. Yeah, you really are. I am done. It's been a long run around the block this year, hasn't it? Yeah, it's all, it's ebbs and flows on this process, you know? It really is.
Starting point is 00:04:44 But I feel like we're just in a stage now where it's like, fuck off. Just the whole thing needs to die. Just put a pin in the entire. operation. No, but that's when you, that is when, you know, this is like you're doing, you've got the stitch. This is like, you know, you're running in the big race and you get the stitch and you're like, well, I'm not going to let the stitch stop me from finishing this big race.
Starting point is 00:05:12 You just got a little bit of the stitch. Put your hands on your head and run for a bit, like slow down and run for a bit. This is the opposite of what I do. I'd always like grab the bit that hurt. No, rookie, rookie mistake. So what are you supposed to do? Put your hands on your head. does that do? Does it change your blood flow or something?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Changes your breathing, I guess. Oh, that's true. I actually never looked into the science of it. Someone told it to me when I was impressionable. What fuck is Stitch, anyway? It's a biological kind of function of it. What's the, you know, why do we, what's that about? It's like a, it's like the bubble
Starting point is 00:05:43 of air, being like, oh, you chill out. A bubble of air. I don't know. It feels like it's a real weakness in humans, it's a real Achilles heel. because running is the only thing we've got guy as an animal we don't have a good defence
Starting point is 00:06:00 you know we don't have claws we don't have great senses everything can other sea smell better than us middle distance running is the one thing that we're awesome at yeah that's true we're the best
Starting point is 00:06:11 as a defence mechanism we we we ourselves no I was saying we can run away for a long time but that is our defence mechanism we we ourselves where are you getting that science bruh
Starting point is 00:06:23 science bruh is that that magazine you subscribe to pictures of those dudes and board shorts and polka necklaces holding up an avocas in a fucking periodic table an abacus holding a monkey's hand to just allude to the concept of evolution you guys got the wrong fucking primate you're reading science bruh
Starting point is 00:06:48 oh jeez well I tell you what guy we're here we're in the dark we're in the sleepover mode what do you think of this movie to be your lawfully we did partner for another eight go-round
Starting point is 00:07:03 or so I've done my meth right sex in the city too it's just you've just that I guy what is your middle name Alexander Halifax I fucking knew that
Starting point is 00:07:19 sorry I guy Alexander Halifax Montgomery Or I guy Alexander Halifax Montgomery Am I doing a Would like To ask you
Starting point is 00:07:35 No you're not proposing You're at the fucking We're there We're at the spouse These are the cows I solemnly swear To To
Starting point is 00:07:47 Do my best I'll do my Honestly I'll do my best you're difficult you can be difficult to be around I mean at this stage it's kind of just like you know we're just
Starting point is 00:08:01 we can be in a room with each other and we can keep things civil but and I guess you know knowing that there's a time cable I'll try and improve on that with you and obviously you as a sort of non-sentient non-responsive
Starting point is 00:08:19 you know video file you will continue to do what you do and I respect that let's have a kiss baby and we're married no one's toasting that aren't that you're so guarded
Starting point is 00:08:36 I wasn't that guarded you gotta lay it on the line guy there's a line from the second season of House of Cards and Kevin Spacey's wife says to Kevin Spacey It's like the all-as-lost moment in the series right before it ends
Starting point is 00:08:54 and he's fallen out of favour with the president and she says, seduce him. Cut out your heart and give it to him. That's what I was looking for from those marriage vows and I did not find it. You do your marriage vows. I, Timothy Andrew Batt, take you sex in the city too
Starting point is 00:09:14 to be my partner through thick and thin across the next eight watches I promise to give you my entire human attention as much as I can absolutely master in the moment I promise to be with you
Starting point is 00:09:34 through good times and troubling times I will be faithful to you I shall solemnly swear to try super hard to not look at my phone from here to all eight watches. Amen. Too easy. I like mine better.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Yours were weird. They came out like a prayer. That was uncomfortable. You've made everyone at the ceremony very uncomfortable. I'm wondering what's going on between you two. I knew what was going on when they came. It's not as... Look,
Starting point is 00:10:12 and if anyone has any reason why these two should not marry, speak now if we ever hold your peace. I do. I think this is a bad relationship Why what part of it I just don't think you guys are good for each other Is it because I'm asking a movie to be my partner? No I'm not even talking about it as a movie
Starting point is 00:10:37 I'm talking about you and sex in the city too No actually I do obviously I want you right at the relationship But you know that was a good little exercise Because when I was saying that, I did feel like I was like, this is, like, you know, it's a new, it's a new way of, because it's difficult to see the forest from the trees or the trees from the forest at this point. So it was a new angle I had on seeing how Sex and City 2 is impacting you. This is what you've got to do, guy, when you're watching something 50 times, you've got to change your point of entry. It's like, okay, 23 degrees, all the astronauts fight. We'll try a different one, 22 degrees.
Starting point is 00:11:19 All right, guess what? I'm looking at a fireball. They didn't survive that one either. What are we going to do? We're going to cancel the space program? No. Try more angles of re-entry. So that's what we are here to do today.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Try different angles of re-entry. Let's see what works. What are some other angles? You took a note on your phone. Fuck it. It's too far away, and it's the dark. I've actually just put it within arm's reach. I can't feel it.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Oh, here we go. Here's my... I think it was something to do with the joke that I have been... I still don't... It's brightened. Oh, oh. No, I've lost all my apps. My power's gone to extreme power.
Starting point is 00:12:03 It was, um... That sandwich joke. Oh, yeah. From... You take it. It was your thing. You say that you... Fucking cracked me up.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Because this is something that guy flagged very... early on, like perhaps in the single-digit watches. And we just, we went back and fought on it a lot. Because you were like, I just don't get the, she's having a little sandwich joke as a joke fundamentally.
Starting point is 00:12:31 I think we discussed this with James A-Caster at length as well. And it's when Miranda, sorry, Charlotte falls off the horse. The camel. She's in the desert. She pulls her clothes up to kind of get ready to get back on it. And inevitably, pulls her
Starting point is 00:12:47 underwear and pants suit thingy up too high and creates a camel toe for herself
Starting point is 00:12:54 and then Miranda says it looks like she's having oh no sorry SJP says honey
Starting point is 00:13:03 you've got a real camel camel toe right we get it and then Miranda says it looks like
Starting point is 00:13:10 she's having a little sand wedge yeah there is the bone of contention that last line A little sandwich.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I just don't understand why are we talking about sandwiches. Yeah, I guess. There's no, like, the second level of the joke has no application. Because a joke is something that has two meaning. Yeah. It's pretty much a, yeah, okay. It's like a double entendre. It's like she's a joke machine and just threw out the wrong, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:42 the context for the joke was not quite right. And it made it through. to the cutting room for Hey, full disclosure guys Guy and I and this is see me just a plug for the subredit as well
Starting point is 00:13:54 but we went back on the old TWI-O-A-T subreddit and found at the top at the moment is an interview that John Stewart
Starting point is 00:14:05 did with Mattress Pichel Kim in 2010 when the movie was being released and those guys go fucking back man yeah
Starting point is 00:14:14 it's a very good interview actually well kind of it's very good for Mantras yeah it's nice like it's
Starting point is 00:14:22 he's on the junket for Sex and City too but it's not disgust at all yeah they play a very long we thought he'd been Rickrolled
Starting point is 00:14:31 because at the start of the interview they play down about a minute and a half worth of footage from the movie which is the most
Starting point is 00:14:36 terrifying terrifying experience but then he comes out and the footage doesn't get any laughs when it's being played down
Starting point is 00:14:44 it's actually that's scene we were just talking about, the lead-up to the gag. Yeah, there's too. It's the camel and the... And then, yeah, then, you know, the mattress pikelet queen or king, you know. Your own here quite. Yeah. You decide. He comes out and they do an interview and he's funny and they're like old, old friends from early comedy days. He gave John Stewart's first job in TV.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Was your interpretation just based on that interview? Because I guess I'll look this up later, maybe. Do you reckon Mattress used to do stand-up? No, he used to do improv. Ah, it's groovy. It's a very good word for improv. Improv is very groovy. It made me warm to Mattress.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah, yeah. Pull on, dude. Puckets of energy. They were riffing and scatting. They were doing a great job of it. It was funny. Scoop-to, you know, they were squebid and squeaking and squawking and. Scooby-a-bub-a-scoo-scoo-scoo-scoo-scoo-scoo-scoo-scoo-scoo-s.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Screebid a sco-sco-scroo-scroo sco sco sco sco sco sco sco scoo scoo-cuh. Oh, keep it a-bye. Pab-pah. M. Oh, who, oh, oh. M. M. Mine?
Starting point is 00:16:09 Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine? What's he doing? Who says that? It's for the birds. There is a man, a certain man.
Starting point is 00:16:22 There is a man, a certain man. It's like a country song. It's a, that's the start of a white-stripe song. He loves just drinking all his coffee. He goes to the cafe. Cafe. Yeah, three-sibs. Because this coffee guy, he sure don't fuck around.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Fuck around. Oh, we love him. Oh, we love him. Oh, we follow him. We will do whatever he tells. He's a coffee guy. He's a freaky guy. He's got pockets full of sand and chips.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Yes, he do. He seasons his chips with sand. That's why he's got a gravely voice. It sounds like Macy Gray's talking about how she tries He's actually Mesa Gray Is Mesa Gray doing a Like for a reality show

And then there's more lines, but I can't remember them. All right. This was a great Jay Diller remix of I tried. I try to say goodbye. Did we get to the vulnerable what movie?

Starting point is 00:19:23 Nothing spins a human being's wheels like, listening to someone figure out how to fucking nail it. Hey, hey, isn't that right, listener? The alternative is guy that I start filtering what comes out of my head and I refuse to do that. I'm right there with you, pal. You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:20:35 Came out when I was a kid And Wheatbex just went Boom Here's how much sugar is in all all the fucking shit that is and it was like, blam, cocoa pops, blam, frosty flakes, blam,
Starting point is 00:20:47 and it had like a thing next to it that was how much sugar was. The last one, the top of the bill, was Nutra grain, and it was, it's a fucking chocolate cake. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Literally feeding your kid cake for breakfast, buy some wheatbeats, or you will lose your peasant. Or be wary sanitarium, who own, wheat bicks
Starting point is 00:21:11 and a huge breakfast cereal company here in New Zealand and Australia owned by the Seventh Day Adventist church They don't pay fucking tax
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's crazy stuff That makes The most popular breakfast cereal in New Zealand And they don't pay A lick of income tax That is a fucking grip Man
Starting point is 00:21:33 I'm not down with that Back to the film your shining light I wrote down which is now kind of off limits I remember it I got it So when they are When it's amazing how much
Starting point is 00:21:52 Food and Clothes Four Butlers can fit into four Maybacks It was amazing You were amazing Charlotte They served a plate of macaroons when they arrive from the camel ride and they get lunch they get Charlotte and Carrie sit next to one another and one of the plush tents.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Different colours too, those macaroons. Yeah, a plate of macaroons is put down and macaroons became pretty popular but 2010 that was pretty, you know, that's one thing that hit from Sex and City too. They called macaroons big time. Yeah, they did. So it was an early strike, 2010. Yeah, man. At least in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I don't know what the macaroon industry is doing in America right now. And for that, I apologise to any macaroon enthusiasts. But yeah, she picks a mat, so they get placed in front of them. Charlotte picks a macaroon up, looks at it. Yes. Then looks at Carrie. It goes, wow. Then mimes putting it in her mouth.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Oh, that's funny. And puts it back down on the plate. Oh, that's great. And I noticed it for the first time last week and forgot to bring it up. It's a wonderful little moment. It's like, oh, wow, look at this. We could eat these, but not now. You're really diverging from the spirit of the shining light again.
Starting point is 00:23:16 This isn't the first time I've pulled you up on this. A shining light is not a time for you to recognize a continuity era or an actor fucking up. It's a time when you can take a breather from shitting down in the film. Every time you think that I'm, there's not an act of shitting, making, like that to me is a good character decision. it's very Charlotte I feel like you talked you way out of this one but it's really good job but it's up all out
Starting point is 00:23:43 my shining light is kind of a broad one unfortunately this week but I just feel like Runkul is the greatest acting talent of our generation there is in as I said the guy
Starting point is 00:23:58 while we're watching this film today there isn't a frame where he hasn't made the best decision in the moment possible I agree Rancol is incredible and I feel like he's been hamstrung by being in this movie
Starting point is 00:24:13 because otherwise you put this performance in a different film Oscar worthy Yeah he's I'm not afraid to that He's not given I'm playing with the tape measure A little too much now
Starting point is 00:24:25 That's all right It's good sound though Yeah it's satisfying I think yeah He does a good job With limited opportunities in this movie I wouldn't say He's the greatest activation
Starting point is 00:24:35 generation, namely because you couldn't tell me... Give me two people who were better than him. No, the bonus of proof is on you, if you're outlandish claim, give me two movies that Runkler's starred in. Nah, I don't need to. I'll tell you, his body of work in Californication from the limited amount of that series of sin is flawless.
Starting point is 00:24:56 So he's not necessarily the greatest act of our generation. Hey, bro. Do you remember a little guy called James Dean, who people seem to consider the fucking monstrous talent despite the fact that he was in what like six films total it's not about the quantity of shit you put out
Starting point is 00:25:13 it's the quality of what's out there of your work and Runkle brings the noise. Yeah so he I don't disagree that Runkle brings the noise all I'm challenging is that he doesn't he's not the greatest act of our generation he's just maybe the
Starting point is 00:25:28 he's got the lowest era rate but that's Oscar you don't get an odd there's no Oscar for having the lowest error rate. Anna Pacrin won an Oscar for the piano. That was the first movie she was ever in. She is New Zealand's
Starting point is 00:25:43 shining light. She is New Zealand's shining light. I wonder what Anna Pacan's doing right now. Listening to this podcast. Oh, God, that would bring me so much joy. Even if I found out she'd listen to five minutes of one episode, I'd be like, yes. Big Anna Pacan fan over here.
Starting point is 00:26:05 hey um what about we dust off that big old leather bound book sitting in the corner makes me cough yeah it's not good for your lungs but uh it's important you say asthma or asthma i say asthma you're good on you because you're not a goober asthma is fuck it's such a horrible way of saying it's mr big's big book of ideas guy tim it's open it up let me just wet my finger that is a horrible sound thumb and through page page page page page page page page page page page page
Starting point is 00:26:42 a diagram of a woman upside down in a wheel made of wood what's it for no time to explore it page page page page page page page page oh there is what appears to be spouting around a house right but it's filled with bird houses as well some sort of self-sustaining ecosystem around a home no time to dwell on that
Starting point is 00:27:01 It's a drawing of a hot air balloon attached to another hot air balloon attached to an entire small model village of hot air balloons Okay, here's what's happened, guys. Mr. Big has been taken to the seaside by his mother for the first time ever aged 58. She said, John. John Biglitz.
Starting point is 00:27:29 You've been... I hate it when you call me that mother. You've been hanging out in that huge-storied building of yours for too long, and I know how much you hate heights. Your colour blindness can be doing you no good in that job. You're always playing with the stock market. So we're going to the seaside. And God knows the vertigo being 50 stories up when you're afraid of heights
Starting point is 00:27:51 can't be very good for you either. Absolutely. So his mama takes him out of there, and they go to the seaside, and John's wearing stripes. There's ye oldie striped kind of with Jim Jam looking Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:05 Singlet and short shorts It's a onesie Yeah And it's like a yeah And it's horizontal stripe It is You got it He looks like the human equivalent
Starting point is 00:28:16 Of a milk jug Like a really attractive milk jug In the fridge Nice And he's there with his mama And he sees a tugboat For the first time
Starting point is 00:28:26 And he's like What an incredible concept This tiny little thing that has all this power He's like grabbing the bigger thing He's 58 years old mind you So the fact that he hasn't said a take boat before Is mildly comical
Starting point is 00:28:43 What was that light that came in the room That was the great idea light It's when you have a great idea And the neighbours want you to keep going They're scared the shit out of my Hey friends It's Nikala from the podcast Side Hustle Pro I'm always looking for ways to keep my kids

Starting point is 00:29:31 No, you're not being robbed. Okay, cool. That's funny, because you thought the worst thing that heaven would be being robbed, and I just thought that the police were going to knock on the door and be like, what's going on here? You boys aren't podcasting, are you? You know it's after podcasting hours? Yeah, in New Zealand, we've got this crazy law on the books
Starting point is 00:29:49 that you're not allowed to podcast after 11 p.m. It is fucked. Got a couple of renegades on the mic, though, so... Mr. Big takes this idea of a tag bite and transfers it to a bigger scale, and he's like, what if you could get something that is comparatively as big as a tugboat if you compare it to the thing
Starting point is 00:30:08 it's like, oh my God. A post that just fell off the wall in the studio. There is a ghost here. It's very scary. This is quintessential sleepover. There aren't supernatural beings at quintessential sleepovers.
Starting point is 00:30:25 You explain that timing then to me, Guy. Coincidence? Almost definitely. Absolutely. is um so what he sat's doing is cocking up in his in his brain he's like what could move a whole village and he's like i know a hot air balloon and so he tries it and it doesn't work and he's like all right i've got it a hot air balloon attached to another hot air balloon we'll double the hot air balloons involved and twice the power what we've walked in on is him drawing a diagram
Starting point is 00:30:56 of the same failed concept but doubling up the hot air balloons with some sort of belief that two will really change the game. The logic... Spoiler alert, two hot ear balloons does not move a village. Only
Starting point is 00:31:13 a professional public speaker can move a village. Yeah, well, yeah, what you're saying is... Oh God, the poster just finished its descent, but it's on the floor now. Can't go any further.
Starting point is 00:31:27 What you're saying is philosophically sound, but I think that for me, if I'm trying to lift a village with one hot air balloon and it doesn't work, the next place my mind immediately goes to is put another hot air balloon in the mix. Yeah, I know, and that's what we've walked in on. Oh, Mr Bigdoin, he's scribbling down that idea,
Starting point is 00:31:47 he's doing diagrams of it. He's trying to figure out the physics of moving a village using a hot air balloon. The reason is that he's so motivated to move an entire village is buried in a conspiracy theory that he deeply believes in but is afraid to acknowledge to his loved ones for fear of sounding crazy, but he believes that there is a war that is waging in the sewers and the side streets of New York City that a lot of people are either choosing to be ignorant of or unaware of,
Starting point is 00:32:17 but there is a battle brewing between the so-called, his name is only whispered in hush tones, but the rat king Brady and his his legion of hench rats hench rats he's got them
Starting point is 00:32:38 separate into two streams the hench rats are the ones that do all the duty work and the trench rats are kind of like the commissioned officers that's right hierarchy there's a hierarchy anyway
Starting point is 00:32:51 and a marauding sort of almost it's Not a cowboy in the Western American sense, but certainly a cowboy in the sort of lonely, sort of, you know, beyond the word lonely, I can't think of how to describe Dickbott. David Bowie sense. The David Bowie sort of cowboy. His level of genius is so great that he feels isolated from the rest of humanity,
Starting point is 00:33:18 just like David Bowie does. Because it's like... Is that how David Bowie feels? I can only imagine, yes. He's just so far. good that it's like I can't even relate to these people anymore it's like dr Manhattan don't know watchman he basically just becomes so powerful that he just goes to Mars to chill out and have a think and just becomes so infinitely powerful he's
Starting point is 00:33:43 like I can't even be bothered with this human shit fuck it that's where Bowie's headed and to a slightly lesser extent dick bot I think on the scale Dickbot is approaching David Bowie It's not there yet But he'll get there one day You'd be able to believe it You think when future generations
Starting point is 00:34:06 Look back on influence across You know all manner of genres of music And style It'll go one David Bowie Two Freddie Mercury Yeah
Starting point is 00:34:20 Three Dickbot Yeah man It's gonna be a big day Big day when he composes his first hit Um Listen I don't know what's left for us here So I know we're running out of time
Starting point is 00:34:34 This way lies madness Um I would like to say the following things Numiro uno To anyone who's bought something from our store One million thank yous Can't say thank you enough Count them
Starting point is 00:34:50 It's so awesome It's and it's bonkers to think that there's people rocking around with this stupid shit we thought of that is now a physical item an artefacts um
Starting point is 00:35:02 second of all we're coming to New York which we announced last episode we're going to be doing a show at a theatre yet to be announced on the 3rd of March so mark that out in your calendar if you're in NYC
Starting point is 00:35:14 and uh you know what we should do or if you're near NYC we should start an event on Facebook for this and then we can get an idea of how many people might be coming because they can RSP on the thingy on the Facebook
Starting point is 00:35:25 That is a savvy idea Savier yet would probably be to just You know Stop talking about it and do it That's right But you live and you learn don't you We're all learning all the time Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:35:37 Are we gonna do a stand-up show Over there or not Yeah we are Obviously that is yet to be arranged also Cool I've really done something with this tape I've sort of accidentally Locked this tape measure against the cable
Starting point is 00:35:51 You just got to shift the Oh no no no Yeah, the problem's bigger The problem's bigger than that, mate Oh really? Shake it here. No, that's right. We'll do this afterwards.
Starting point is 00:36:00 So look, that's all happening And I guess Good on you's. Good on you! We're only eight away guys And we've got Hopefully the next episode We're doing that thing
Starting point is 00:36:12 That we discussed? That's going to be next episode A. Having a guest? Yes. Oh, two. No, one guest. Oh, okay. That's the next. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Well, we've got a guest who you may not have heard of before ever in the next episode who I, like, am real excited to get that person on. You might have, you might have, you might have heard of them. Oh, should we just announce it? Yeah, sure. Why not? No, let's not. Oh, see you there. Nice.
Starting point is 00:36:46 And then, and then we've got this other cool idea, which we're done in a couple episodes if we remember. Because, you know, it's us. So bye You heard it What was that? Ah, that's nothing What was it? No, it's nothing
Starting point is 00:37:04 It was a kiss But why?
