The Worst Idea Of All Time - 35: Late Stage Carrism

Episode Date: April 22, 2019

Timbly and GuyGuy are getting too close to the truth now and Zuckerberg is trying to shut the Frosty Fellas down. Turns out Sex and The City: The Movie may actually be satire hitting out against extre...me consumerism (but curiously ignoring 9/11). Carrie Bradshaw is taking the piss out of using a Starbucks. And the boiz themselves: They’re out of runway and out of hours in the day for anything apart from this movie. Good thing there’s a delicious bow-tie man waiting for them in the back.

Starting point is 00:00:00 We just have a good rhythm together, you know, he sort of feels me out, I feel him out, and we go for it. Hello and welcome to episode 35 of season 4 of The Worst Idea of All Time. My name, Timbly Wimbly Guy Montgomery. And we're not together, but we're also not apart. Connected by the majesty of Facebook Call. The video feed is on. The stakes have never been higher as I attempt to continue eye contact with Tim through the dodgy Australian internet connection and whatever Captain Zuckerberg throws our way. He's done an alright job. For all his malice and malfeasance, the guy can make a VoIP client, can't he?
Starting point is 00:00:54 I guess when you've got billions of dollars, you can hire some pretty good people. That's right. How intelligent is Mark Zuckerberg, really? It's the question, isn't it? Don't know. I think he's just ruthless. Is he smarter than you or I? I'd say yes.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Okay. Is he smarter than my dad? No. He's not smarter than either of our dads. He's not smarter than anyone's dad, actually. If you or I had a child would we then he's got a child himself he does does that boost his intelligence no because he's when you're a young dad you're not bright you have to be over 50 to be a smart dad eh i reckon you got to be over
Starting point is 00:01:37 at least 40 but you get next level when you're 50 i reckon yeah and then when do you start going back down hard to say depends how the old thinking box fears as the senior years start sailing in absolutely generally i'd say not till 70 does it start going down hey well that's a wide berth you've afforded all men between 60 and 70 so if you're listening along if you our sole libertarian listener is in this age bracket enjoy it while you can because before you know it you're going to be on the precipice of mental decay a feeling i'm not unfamiliar with tim i didn't like today hey how are you good to see you no yeah me same and same it was no good i had quite a lonely day and an intensely lonely watch uh do you want to paint me a picture it is good friday i'm going to date
Starting point is 00:02:34 the record because these are coming out pretty much in real time now so i want everyone to know how close we are to um when when they get released because we ran out of runway because we aren't the best planners in the world. As a result, pretty much everyone in my flat has got awesome, cool plans. My wife has gone to Gizzy to hang out with her dad and The Beach. Nice. She's taken our two cool temporary flatmate houseguests, got another flatmate who's off to go to a national park with their partner, which rules.
Starting point is 00:03:10 And so old Timbly Wimbly is here with the doggo to watch Sex and the City, the movie. Is this a familiar feeling to you now? You resigned to this being your lifestyle? There's a difference between everyone being at work and everyone being out of town hey oh you can feel it yeah you can really feel it so but do you do does this is this met with resistance from you now or do you just do you have you let have you let this into your life as a reality which is what it is it's totally part of my life but you gotta
Starting point is 00:03:41 you gotta check yourself before you wreck yourself you know i fear for my mental health long term with this thing it's just at the end of the day do the math folks it's a lot of hours in the week it's like five hours watching the movie alone every single week and you know where i think part of the challenge comes from because it's like it is almost the illusion of not free time but you're bright it's like until you let your brain fully absorb that what you're doing is self-created work that is uh i think letting go is what i what i'm trying to practice today and what i sort of learned is like i i can't stop thinking of the time spent with the movie is my time i I just have to say, come on in.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I'll make space for you. I respect you. I'm sorry I'm angry. Yeah, I guess every time I'm going in so cross and like, no, this is my time, but it's not. It's the movie's time. And I guess you learn a little bit every day don't you if you if you keep your ears open you learn that's actually really good guy i'm gonna try and
Starting point is 00:04:53 adopt that in the same way that when you um came out the gates sort of half a dozen episodes ago and had a really good time i you know i tried to enter him with that attitude. I think this one is a bit more within the viewer's control, that sort of sense of resignment and just going, you know what, this is happening. It's going to happen either way, so you may as well just get into it, get down with it, because the thing's going to happen regardless, so you can have a good time or an okay time.
Starting point is 00:05:21 It's up to you. Yeah, well, I had to fit it in today i had a busy day so i um i was running to and from the movie so i ran home to watch it at one point and i watched an hour and 15 minutes of it and then i had to run away to do a show i did the show and then i ran home to finish it and i guess that that little barrier probably made it slightly easier than it would have been if I watched it consecutively through. But, yeah, I guess...
Starting point is 00:05:53 I'm just trying to figure out how that made me feel. Like, running away from Sex and the City felt pretty... I guess, yeah, pretty good, to be honest i'll bet i never really done that before where i just sort of physically been able to just say no and just like literally try and get it out of my system by running as fast as i physically could yeah and it does gals i'm out of here stop everything yeah it does It does release some endorphins.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Not for nothing. But did you not, were you not struck with the feeling as well that you were only halfway of going, oh, as good as this might feel, I'm back. Yeah. Some point later today. It was, there was a homework feel to it. But I was like, if I just get through to here,
Starting point is 00:06:43 it was like after she'd hired saint louise i think is when i said that was my benchmark i said okay that's enough for now uh it almost felt disciplined i guess i mean ideally you do watch it all at once but yeah there's really something to this whole uh don't fight it okay Okay. All right, I'll try that. Speaking of Louise, hey, can I tell you something? Didn't care for her choice of acting this outing. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:07:14 That's interesting, because I really had a good time with her. I thought she was phoning it in, especially at the start when we first met her. I was like, man, no good. What was doing this to you? It was the read, I think, of the dialogue that she's got. We didn't talk about, or maybe we did.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Did we talk about how long Carrie conducts interviews in a Starbucks for? No, we didn't. I was going to talk about that at the live show, but I forgot. Yeah, let's get into that because it is wild. She's just commandeered a Starbucks in New York City as her office. America has an interesting relation to Starbucks. I mean, it's probably slightly more elevated now that the world is more political and Howard Schultz has sort of gone out on a limb and started saying things.
Starting point is 00:08:01 But if you divorce it from the man, you know, and especially we think in 2008, there's a... Starbucks in New Zealand is dirt. New Zealanders look down their nose at Starbucks and they say, no, better like next time American chain coffee. We've got a lot of like independent roasteries and cafes where we like to put our money.
Starting point is 00:08:21 But in America, Starbucks is regarded as like a reliable source of high quality coffee because americans hate they love consuming the liquid but they hate the actual drink they have no respect for it yeah i think you you told me like you you you think that americans treat coffee like it's not a renew what do you like it's not a renewable energy source or something like they just they're all about volume yeah or i almost the inverse they treat it like it's this limitless thing oh yeah and it's so often is literally served like that in diners and and stuff you get bottomless um cups of coffee i you know i used to work at starbucks in new zealand it blows my mind that they have any kind of a foothold here because we do take our coffee
Starting point is 00:09:05 pretty seriously it's uh i i think i did know you work in a starbucks and i'd love to i'd love to talk to you about that but yeah that your articulation is right the americans attitude to coffee is like there's no concentration on making sure anyone can enjoy it or it tastes good it's more like just this full nationwide panic that they're going to run out of it. And so they just keep brewing more and more and more. And this tastes awful. They go, stop asking questions.
Starting point is 00:09:34 We need more. And there's just these huge vats across all of the capital cities in the 50 states that are just constantly being topped up with this like just above tempered temperature fucking bean juice just this brown like nothing taste like it you know when you're drinking a cup of coffee in america you are aware that it is a bean from soil when you're drinking it elsewhere you know they've done they've elevated it slightly
Starting point is 00:10:02 but i guess what i'm trying to mud what i'm trying to get at elsewhere you know they've done they've elevated it slightly but i guess what i'm trying to mud what i'm trying to get at is you know because when i first saw carrie's operating not just the length but she's operating her entire business out of a starbucks like if i'm applying for a job listing from the internet or the newspaper to be a personal assistant and i arrive and there is a woman who has splayed herself across a coffee table in a starbucks visibly been there for five years so the power dynamic has completely shifted like you are not interviewing me i'm fucking taking notes on you there's going to be some questions you didn't intend to ask in the job interview that you are taking as an interviewee
Starting point is 00:10:44 that you're throwing that way yeah oh my dog is trying to get in he job interview that you are taking as an interviewee that you're throwing that way yeah oh my dog is trying to get in he's bloody pouring at the door um but yeah you're gonna you guys are really going to be very curious about how much you're getting paid for that job when the uh the interview is taking place in the state especially like because there's no acknowledgement of it's just like yeah this is totally normal i would actually kind of be okay with it if it was like hey our office is burnt down this was kind of the smartest thing i could think to do that would be interesting if carrie just lied to qualify it because as soon as she hires someone they go oh wow so where were your offices and then all of a sudden you know you're in this situation where you can either come clean and start your working relationship on a lie slash confessional,
Starting point is 00:11:27 or you can double down and start building distrust from the outset. I think that's what you want. You want to get people uncomfortable, uneasy, not quite sure what jobs are going to get thrown at them, but learn to not ask a lot of questions in weird situations. It's in keeping with Carrie's personality. Look, we don't really get to enjoy any of her actual writing in this film and even if you did get to consume it you know you may not necessarily enjoy it but from what i can tell the way that she writes
Starting point is 00:11:54 articles and books is the article that she's working on the book she's working on is just all of the narrative voiceover lines of dialogue strung together without the context between. So that's what her editor first reads. It's just a series of disjointed first-person statements and reflections on information that the reader does not have. And the reason she's only published three books over 15 years is you just can't
Starting point is 00:12:26 generate much quality if that's just if that's your style and she's really sticking to it yeah it's like the worst kind of beat poetry you're just reading it you're going i guess this is art because it's not good so therefore it's art i I can't understand it. That's what art is. If something's not good, but there is a dad between that 50 to 70-year age bracket, or anyone actually, something's not good and someone says, you know it's good,
Starting point is 00:12:57 what you're consuming is art. Yeah. Just to circle back briefly to the Starbucks used as an office thing, does it occur to you monty that the fact that it's louise who ends up being the successful applicant which we've well established now is just carrie subconscious do you think in that montage where she's interviewing people the very next bit of the conversation is um sorry carrie bradshaw i'm a huge fan of your
Starting point is 00:13:22 work i've followed you for so many years like i love your column but um why the fuck are we in a starbucks what's going on here and then the interview just sort of descends from there and that's the reason why louise gets it because no one else will even like consider taking this job under the circumstances yeah absolutely like you know look after probably interviewing several real people and this would not stick out too badly to the customers or the employees at starbucks because they see this stuff every day but they would have watched man those american starbucks employees they must see some shit they see it all again with a chromebook and just spend i don't know 14 hours in there buying
Starting point is 00:14:05 one cup of coffee but they would so they you know they would have seen a woman unsuccessfully interview up to say eight people for a job all of them eventually walking out of the interview never her dismissing them always the person going okay that's enough and then to top it off they would have seen her talk to herself you know as the concluding interview and hire herself and then pack up her stuff and leave not good no to show that i didn't have instagram back then because that could have been some great viral content i mean they should have whacked it in the movie just as that that would have been a very interesting take on the film it's kind of like going hey you know the relentless pursuit of sort of either meaningless sexual relationships or harmful relationships and
Starting point is 00:14:56 an absolute steadfast commitment to consumerism turns out sometimes it makes you go funny in the head here is a cautionary tale told through uh a piece of pop culture celebrity carrie bradshaw that would make do what carrie does that would make mattress pike little real sleeper agent who's created this thing you know this is this is now elevated to satire and it went it went over everyone's heads this isn't you know the reunion of four beloved characters as we watched them gracefully age and spend time with them, you know, years after we thought we'd said goodbye. This is a full-on attack of, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:38 the current economic systems that, you know, help hold up the 1%, you know, consumerism, capitalism, just, you know help hold up the one percent you know consumerism capitalism uh just you know uh vapid super superficial life like this is you know this is full-on this is big stuff we're dealing with this is big boy shit this is a different movie than i thought you know either of us thought we were watching and i'd like to add to that but i i stumbled into what what could you know support the the positive or not that you need to prove a positive correlation between sex and city and sex and city too but would certainly strengthen the bonds between the the narratives between the two films well guy is the only other person who's seen this movie 35 times i'd love to
Starting point is 00:16:27 hear what you have to say so samantha arrives from los angeles and now and what we are now discovering is a classic classic metros pike clip move he diverts our attention from the story he's trying to tell so she arrives and you know the the consumer on the service level would watch this scene play out and think, oh, they're exchanging weight jokes at the cost of Samantha for having put on one pound. You know, that's the story that's being told. The real story, Miranda tries to deflect attention from noticing Samantha's gut by saying, there's a rat in your purse. The camera pans to the purse. We don't see a rat in your purse the camera pans to the purse we don't see
Starting point is 00:17:06 a rat we see the dog that she's adopted the rat has moved too quickly for the camera or any of the characters to see it is burrowed into the bottom of the purse unknowns to anyone it climbs into the anus of the dog which is when the dog barks in the movie. It yelps twice as though to say, help. It's now totally at the mercy and control of the rat. The dog is a mole working on behalf of Brady, who's programmed a rat. The first rat he figured out how to control. He's put it in the purse.
Starting point is 00:17:43 It's taken over samantha's dog you know it's like it is it is gathering intelligence about what is happening in los angeles what is happening in the world of adults that brady only has access to through his parents it's um and it's it's there in plain sight only obviously you don't see it's all you know it's the you've got to assume a certain amount of intelligence of your audience or any viewer of any movie where it's like you can there are things that take place that aren't visually represented on screen that the audience infers happened. You know, it's classic storytelling. Show don't tell.
Starting point is 00:18:15 And this is one of those things, a dog being puppeted by a rat inserting itself into its anus and sort of taking over it like a shell. Exactly. by a rat inserting itself into its anus and sort of taking over it like a shell exactly and there is all of the evidence inside of the inside of the movie you know like we we hear the notion of the rat being addressed and introduced we see the consequence of the rat's movements and behaviors like he's not even trying to hide it that hard you've only got to watch it 35 times before you figure out that the through line here is rats the through line here is brady you know it's always been rats isn't it this is the thing about sex in the city it was rats from day one absolutely why else would you set a tv show in new york god knows the city doesn't have a lot else to offer um i love this i love that you've strengthened uh the lore around brady the rat king and i like
Starting point is 00:19:09 that there is this is sort of turned into a it's a prequel which seems silly but in our experience of the world it almost did go sex and city 2 first and everything else is just sort of an origin story to set up the big events that are happening then and the stuff that happens after. Well, I mean, because what I was trying to remember after I noticed this, like, Samantha's dog comes to the wedding, right? The big gay wedding.
Starting point is 00:19:40 She says, it was a big gay wedding. I figured, what's one more little bitch? You know, Brady's also at the wedding, she says it was a big gay wedding I figured what's one more little bitch you know Brady's also at the wedding but he he doesn't get to get out and mix and mingle and like really you know hear what's being said the dog is
Starting point is 00:19:56 does the dog go to the Middle East yeah does it yeah because the don't wait it's incredible to think we've forgotten this information i guess isn't it we didn't realize how important it was at the time and that's on us you know guy fuck because i was thinking back to the scene where samantha spills all her condoms i thought that was caused by the pooch but it isn't she just uh there's all those nasty men
Starting point is 00:20:24 who are giving you crap, and they pull out your handbag. No, I don't think the dog does go to the Middle East. That makes sense, though. I mean... Yeah, I can't remember the dog being in the Middle East. I think, yeah. I don't think it's there.
Starting point is 00:20:36 But it does create... Because we do see at the end of the movie Samantha and Dickbot embracing in New York City. So it does mean that dick bot and brady are coming across each other you know not face to face but certainly that there is a a connection between them there's a line that can be drawn between them still within sex in the city too which, that sets up the third film very neatly. It's such a roundabout way of doing something to make a whole TV series to start making,
Starting point is 00:21:11 you know, the way I see it, the first thing that he's, Mattress has really wanted to make in this franchise is the third movie. And he has had to fucking pay his dues, my man. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:23 So you think that right from the outset um when did the tv show start again it was like 96 or something i have a look it was early so about 96 he's been playing a very long game where he had to do whatever five six seasons of television in two films just to make the story he wanted to tell absolutely i wouldn't put it past a man when you've got a vision this big you'll do anything it takes to implement it 98 and not give the answer okay 1998 hey um i have a feeling we may have talked about this before but how did sex in the City deal with 9-11? Do you know, I think that comedian Liza Trager has a joke about that
Starting point is 00:22:10 because I'm pretty sure that Carrie did not, it's not addressed in the show at all, that the world just keeps turning. Wow. So I think the gag is that she's the only journalist in New York City who didn't write an article about September 11th. At Glitter Cheese on social media. If you want to follow the hilarious Liza Trager.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Oh, go you. Hey, can I just say as well, I forgot to say this before the start. Sorry, I'm getting fucking messages intruding on my conversation with you guys that are popping up on my phone. It's really, it's my fault ultimately, and I should do that acceptance thing, except I've made that classic Timbo era of not eating since breakfast as well, and it's past dinner time. Yeah, so we're up against it.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Do you know i actually all things are infuriating me i've also forgot to eat but uh alice sneddon of bones of the heart fame very kindly and generously prepared me eggs while i was watching the movie because she said she couldn't handle how sad i looked wow isn't that nice maternal isn't she she really is i was um i was flattered and also sad how sad to think how sad i'm i must have looked by the way yeah i've just been joined in my bedroom by star of stage and screen chris parker who's dressing himself as he prepares to go out for for the show another little Empire podcaster of the male gaze fame. That's right.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Chris, just while you're getting dressed here, do you have any stray thoughts remembering that you can't hear Tim, but Tim can hear you about Sex and City? Because you've sort of been around it, either about the movie or about watching me subject myself to this. Well, I sort of always catch you at the same point of the movie, which is when famously Sarah Jessica Parker goes brunette and she's having that dinner party with Miranda.
Starting point is 00:24:16 They have that big fight. And it's just such an awful scene to hear over and over and over again. I can't believe people witnessing women do that to each other on like a weekly basis you also have gone full insane today you had your your airpods in my rechargeable case and i was like this is my case whose airpods are in here and you're like i don't know mine are here opened your rechargeable case that had no airpods in it and you're like see minor hair i was like cool you've gone full insane he's lost his mind yeah it's a true story yeah and that was a fucking brilliant update thanks chris god that's good um chris was watching the majority of the movie with us the other day as well which you may have uh forgotten guy already in the apartment he got a bit of splash damage from us
Starting point is 00:25:11 watching it yeah the people in my house have and to be honest as someone who is usually unrelentingly upbeat uh and this is observed by the people with whom I live, their reaction and behavior towards me when I'm watching the movie is one of the most powerful tales as to the psychological impact that it's taking because they treat me as a different person who requires so much coddling and sympathy, which is very generous and as a friend, it's a beautiful thing to experience. But if you divorce it from that context and just think about what they must be watching,
Starting point is 00:25:52 it becomes quite harrowing. Do you think it's needed or do you think they're overreacting? It's hard to say. Can I give my opinion? Yeah. I think it's needed. I think you need it. I mean, I'm great. Can I give my opinion? Yeah. I think it's needed. I think you need it. I really do.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Truly? Yep. Absolutely. I think it's a necessity. Is that from your own observations as well? This is from my heart to your ears. This is from what I've seen. That felt like it was going to be a list, but it's not. It's from what I've seen. That felt like it was going to be a list, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:26:26 It's from what I've seen. Oh, man. But this is related to, I'll just mention this briefly, the point I was going to make earlier is that I got quite a lot of messages and there were some comments online from people who had come to the Melbourne show who were genuinely worried for both of us, but for me in particular, because I did have a slight breakdown on stage about the project, which periodically happens.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I reckon that happens sort of two, three times a season, doesn't it, on average? Doesn't usually happen at the live shows. No, but the live show really drove something home, I thought. In what way? Well, in the same way i sort of try to articulate at the actual show but just like the the value of this experiment and podcast now is it's no longer to me associated with joy you know the the only remaining value in what we're doing is seeing the depths that we can you know uh plunge to and so yeah trying to articulate that and and you know
Starting point is 00:27:27 turn it into a positive live experience is a it's a you know it's it's confounding it's it requires problem solving because they're not you know they're not two things that usually go hand in hand that's right that's right i'm scared that in the trajectory of this podcast, what's happened is it started off as a comedy podcast and now it isn't. Now it's just like a bad science experiment that you're seeing the raw data for. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Because all you really need is a summary. You need a conclusion that someone's drawn for the report. But what you've wound up with is just all the data. I have a friend who listens. They deliberately listen out of order. And that's sort of just like an idle curiosity they have. It's just sort of intermittent psychological check-ins. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Has that gone for them? They say it's great fun. That's cool. How out of order are we talking? Do they really bounce around? Yeah, like bounce around within season to season. Oh, this is a fun idea if you want to spice up your worst idea experience. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Can I ask you a question? Yeah. How is it that Louise says, Who's John at JJPNY.com? who's john at jjpny.com and yet it takes her like several hours to remember that that happened later on in the film when uh when when charlotte has the baby and she sees harry and harry's like he's been riding you and like at no fucking point does she put two and two together and remember that moment with louise no it's not kind of wild uh well no we have to remember that louise is carrie acting in her own best interest to protect herself so i i think that true oh yeah i forgot when momentarily when
Starting point is 00:29:42 uh carrie as lou, does create that folder and just diverts all of that, you know, mail to there, in a self-protective move, Carrie sort of does isolate herself from that information so that by the time she does rediscover it months on,
Starting point is 00:29:58 it is a genuine surprise. Fair enough. Can I ask you another question? Of course. Do you remember that bit in the movie where uh charlotte says to miranda about steve you really can't forgive him i think it's at fashion week and miranda says are you suggesting something because i haven't brought this up before, but that is the craziest two lines to butt together. You really can't forgive him. Are you suggesting something?
Starting point is 00:30:32 Yeah, I am. I said it explicitly. I am suggesting that you forgive Steve, you moron. Open your ears. I'm your friend. I've been souring on Miranda recently. And in hearing this, you're right it is it is it's a very bizarre thing to say and in some way it suggests to me that and i don't know how
Starting point is 00:30:53 perhaps miranda is along for the ride with us perhaps we're living in miranda's groundhog day and you know the times that she throws out lines like that, they're just combo breakers. They're disruptors to try and jolt a different reaction, have a different experience, because she also does it, and this one also drives me crazy when they're saying how they can't say sex in front of Lily.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Lily, yeah. Because she's parroting what everyone says, and Miranda says, she doesn't know what it means. I'm 41 and I don't know what sex means. I don't know if that's meant to be quippy, but it drives me insane because we've seen Miranda having pretty good sex. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Actually, we see it twice, don't we? Well, I don't know if you call sex with a t-shirt on good sex the second time we see you have sex is undeniably good um there's no getting around it they've made it as visible for you to uh have that takeaway as possible but i think what she's inferring is this the more sort of emotional component of sex um yeah but do you do that's why it's quippy and stupid do you think it's possible that miranda is uh breaking down miranda's trapped alongside us so what do you oh okay so oh wow okay so we're starting 100 sure i understand the mechanics of this so you think
Starting point is 00:32:24 Okay, I'm not 100% sure I understand the mechanics of this. So you think Miranda has joined us in the journey? Yeah, I think Miranda is alongside us now. Is she one of the Frosty Fellas? Is Miranda the honorary fourth Frosty Fella? Of course, the third being Brochet the Knife. All of the other performances have been you know captured and edited they were recorded once you know for time immemorial and miranda is having to show up every time we watch the movie and perform it in you and previously she's been the consummate professional
Starting point is 00:32:59 she hasn't even winked at the camera she's gone through her paces and we've noticed maybe subtle deviations but more or less it's the same performance what i'm saying is that she's starting to break down she's trying to break out of the movie and she's looking at us god that is very scary that's like a black mirror episode man it's like you know when you're a kid and you think that there are people living inside the tv yeah because it's like you know when you're a kid and you think that there are people living inside the tv yeah because it's like how else would this be happening exactly like only miranda's the one living in there and everyone else is coming through just normally absolutely scary i don't like that um can i can i ask you for a shining light monty uh yeah absolutely you know
Starting point is 00:33:48 i did not take record of one so i'm really gonna be scrambling here you want to buy you some time no it's the confidence with which miranda selects candies on halloween she just fucking scoops them up and chucks them in her in her uh what is she carrying a basket basket that's what you carry if you don't have a trolley you got a basket she's just scooping up fucking reese's pieces having them in her basket she does not care you know she's just like going she's just getting through it and uh actually you know i'll be interested to see if she picks the same candy up next week because that could be a tell and if she's listening to this if i was her i would pick different candy so miranda is not only sort of sentient within the construct of the movie and has joined the frosty fowlers but she also potentially listens
Starting point is 00:34:41 to the podcast i don't know about you dude i'm i'm really i was worried about you before and i've sided with the your co-housemates who are trying to look after you but i think it's going to take more than just eggs to bring monty back i'm i'm right here with you man what's your shining light i don't know about that um it's the auction house it comes early it comes often every they call it every time they call it the mailman because it always delivers they call it samantha jones because it's the scene that always comes it is the auction house because there's just so many people to look at. I saw a guy with a bow tie today who I think is sitting behind Carrie that I didn't even notice.
Starting point is 00:35:30 There's a woman with a canary yellow feather boa sitting behind Samantha. If you keep your eyes peeled, you can actually also see Odlor, the villain from the Where's Wally or Waldo universe. Oh, wow. His name's Odlor. Is Odlor his name in the Where's Wally or waldo universe oh wow his name's odd law is odd law his name in the uh in the where's wally books we got in new zealand because they renamed some of them eh or like wally in particular just wally but he's remains odd law which is funny because odd law is the you know it's it's it's waldo backwards but it's obviously not wally backwards that'd be your law oh true it's okay because odd law to me sounds like a almost some sort of spiritual being but it's like he's a
Starting point is 00:36:12 criminal as well you know like he's a shaman who's breaking the law well yeah if you if you for one goddamn second could stop ogling that man in the bow tie and cast your eyes a little wider you'll see odd law wandering around swapping the keys in people's pockets. Why would you though? Because the guy in the bow tie is positively dishy. Yeah, he's a delight. Spectacles, very well put together. I like what I see.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And what I see is a delicious bow tie man. I'm not here to fight with you, man. Yeah, yeah. Fucking hell. People won't know this, but the call just disconnected earlier as well. So Zuckerberg's trying to shut us down. We're all against it.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I think we're getting a little too close to some pretty scary truths for a lot of people. I know. It doesn't surprise me that people are trying to shut us down they're trying to stop the conversation from happening exactly man i put a photo up on facebook today and it terrified me that it could tag in who was in the photo instantly because people who were like side on a side profile and it was dark and they were like there's that guy and i was like fucking hell not good no it
Starting point is 00:37:27 doesn't surprise me at all that zuckerberg has turned his artificial intelligence machine against us when we've come knocking on his door with the truth knowledge is power my man and the people they're trying to stop us've got nothing else to say about this watch. What you got, Monty? I've got nothing else to say about this watch. I want to say this. I love you. It's been nice talking to you.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Yeah. I love you too. I'm going to make a delicious vegan curry for myself and no one else. I'm going to play with my and uh hopefully get a good night's sleep and then probably i don't know watch this movie again tomorrow or some shit that seems to be the way of things now oh we oh we love you brother okay monty talk to you soon goodbye we just have a good rhythm together you know he sort of feels me
