Evening all. How's everyone doing?
So my name is Brett and I'm one of the programmers here.
And when we opened CineFamily's doors in 2007,
this was kind of the sort of event idea that we had in mind.
This was the kind of high concept yet blindingly silly thing
that we just felt there was a real lack of
in the city.
Are Dan and Amanda here?
Can they stand up? Stand up.
These are the two people
that are the reason these guys are here.
It was
those two
that really put the bug in my ear
about listening to these guys' show.
And to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first.
The idea sounded like something
that I don't know if I wanted to devote my time to.
But it turns out that they're a great comedic discovery.
If you take away anything from their show and their experience,
I think it's that they are a fully formed comic
duo, whether they want to be or not at this
point,
that
knows each other really well, knows how to play off each
other really well, and
the most important thing is they listen to each other,
which is what all good musicians and comedians
should do. Everybody, give a round of applause
for Tim Batten and Guy Montgomery.
We can do it up there, sure.
I want to lord over everyone.
Hey!
Thank you all so much.
Look at this.
You don't get this in New Zealand Thanks guys
What the fuck are you all doing here?
This is weird
This is very strange
But thank you very much for coming tonight
There's a lot of people who made it possible
A round of applause please for Brett
And all the fine folks here at Cinefamily
This is really overwhelming
for us.
Literally a year ago
today we were just in
Tim's apartment
and we were stoned.
Believe it or not.
And we watched Grown Ups 2
for the first time
and then we talked about it.
And now this!
Yeah.
So high.
Yeah, that's really crazy for us.
So really, thanks to all of you so much.
It's genuinely the most overwhelming experience of my life.
We don't get out a whole lot in New Zealand,
so this is pretty full on.
But we don't really have anything prepared. I would like to
just do a quick apology straight
off the top. I've just realised that although I did
bring our third co-host, the knife,
into America, I actually
left it back at the house, which I'm really gutted
about. But if anyone's
coming to UCB, I'm going to bring the knife
tomorrow. I'm sure they're really excited.
You can all meet him. Everyone likes a knife
guy. Don't encourage him.
It's good. No, America's
a knife friendly place. I feel like
if I was going anywhere, Los Angeles
is a very accepting place for knives
and knife guys.
What he's trying to tell you is
if anyone's looking to shank old Timbo tonight
he's not armed.
I'll get you.
I'm small but I'm sharp.
He's quick. He's worry armed. I'll get you. I'm small, but I'm sharp. He's quick.
He's wary.
Does anyone want to know anything?
So I figured the way this would go
is that we do the Q&A with these guys first,
and then we're going to watch Grown Ups 2.
Finally.
Finally.
How many people in this room have heard their podcast
but not watched the film?
Nice work!
That's a lot!
Good for you!
You all took these guys' admonishment
really, really seriously. I like that.
Because when this was first told to me
that I needed to listen to this podcast
I immediately downloaded Grown Ups 2
and I watched it because
I felt if I was going to devote
28 hours worth of listening time of my life to them immediately downloaded Grown Ups 2 and I watched it because I felt if I was going to devote 28
hours worth of listening time of my life
to them, I kind of
really wanted to know what they were talking about. That seems like quite a lot of time
to spend with us, Brent.
You've got to take a long hard look at your own
life choices, friend.
You feeling good about that, Brent?
No regrets, huh? I'm pretty good.
Love every moment, huh, Brent?
Love every day.
I'm sorry we interrupted you.
So we're going to talk some more with these guys.
We're going to watch the film.
We're going to take a patio break, a breather,
some well-deserved fresh air after seeing The Run-Ups 2.
And then we're going to come back
and then they're going to tape their podcast finale.
So that's how it's going to go.
Yeah.
Cool.
Okay.
I've got a question for you, Guy.
Okay, Tim.
Do you like grown-ups too?
And we laugh and laugh.
Trying to impress my opinion on you over the last 51 weeks, Tim.
I don't really know what to say.
I don't know.
You've been very ambiguous and unclear to me.
Acy's very vague.
I haven't.
What I'm wondering, you know...
You tell me, Guy.
It seems rude to say it now, but I'm kind of...
You know, we'll talk about this some more later,
but I'm curious if Brett's got any questions.
Oh, okay.
I don't really care for talking to Tim.
Or you guys.
Or anyone else.
Pretty much anyone but Tim Baird.
We've been spending a lot of time together on this trip.
I'm open to taking questions from.
I feel like there was a hand at the back,
but I don't know.
Sure, well, Brett, you drive.
Okay.
Well, when they do raise their hand,
we'll check it out.
Tell us about what New Zealand is just really like.
Brett, New Zealand is a magical place.
We all live in hutches.
And all of us exchange pieces of gold for goods and services.
There is a bad man whose name is Sarumand.
And he lives in a big tower
and we do not like him.
But apart from that,
it's very beautiful.
And it's actually quite advanced.
Save for the hutches and gold.
We have water wells.
We've got electric and everything.
Windmills.
Really ticking along nicely. Yeah. See wells. We've got electric and everything. Windmills. Really ticking along nicely. Yeah. See what we've
got is we've got solar panels
that power the windmills.
And then the windmills mill all
the flour from the wheat. And then
we have bread. So suck
it LA.
You sir.
Where were you enjoying
Los Angeles?
Oh hey. Great question. I'm a move here. This place is fantastic. you sir right there how are you enjoying Los Angeles hey oh hey
great question
I'm gonna move here
this place is fantastic
you guys
live in a wonderful
wonderful land
he's lying
we don't have the visas
you gotta
you gotta be nice
to these people too
I was being sincere
oh you are gonna move here
yeah
wow
I thought you would have
consulted me about that, but that's...
Los Angeles is incredible.
It's been so kind to us.
Even the fact you're all here is like a testament to the place.
Everyone seems to be very sincere.
I don't know if that's because they mostly work in hospitality and they're working for tips.
they mostly work in hospitality and they're working for tips.
I don't know if you guys know this
but LA's got a bit of a reputation
as being kind of polluted
and how do you say, stabby?
But wall to wall,
the air is clean,
the water is wonderful,
you people are lovely,
you came out tonight,
everyone we've met has been super kind
and I don't think
you've got a bad man
in a tower here
right
one lady
was really rude to me
I don't want to get
bogged down in it
but she was
it's really tainted
the experience
tell us a little bit
though Guy
you've opened it up
I was just
I was driving
and she did a honk
that was not warranted
well hold on what were you doing though because you know driving and she did a honk that was not warranted.
Well, hold on.
What were you doing, though?
Because you know the rules are different.
You know, if I was going to lay the blame, it would be with the city planner.
Because what's happened is...
There's a car park that you can only...
So here's the park. You're the car? No, I'm the park. Between my feet So here's the park.
You're the car?
No, I'm the park.
Between my feet, that's one park.
Here is a traffic light.
Okay.
And here is another park.
Now, if there's a car parked in this park... Sure, the first one.
The only way to attack this park
is by parallel parking.
Yeah.
But guess what else is happening, bud?
A traffic light, like you said.
A traffic light, yeah.
So, here I am trying to subtly parallel park in my park,
and a lady honked at me, and for ages, it wasn't you, was it?
No, it doesn't look like you.
I definitely should not have asked about this story.
Next question, please.
I go on.
So what happened then is...
No, no, just yell it. He'll keep going. Anyway, I pulled the fingers. So what happened then is... No, no.
Just yell it.
He'll keep going.
I pulled the fingers.
Oh, you're really going.
And a whole car of ladies pulled the fingers at me.
So if you run into any finger-pulling ladies,
you tell them...
I'm jealous of your bare feet.
You're going to get a bloody bad review on Yelp
if you're not careful.
Hit it up in the air.
He'll go all night.
Are you guys as excited for Burnout all night I want to ask you a question
in reply, you know that one time
when I accidentally said we'd watch it for two years
if it ever got made
like, how seriously did you guys
take that, because
I gotta say
it's not fair
because you weren't listening when he said that
They weren't in the room?
You do not know how podcasting works man
I'm dealing with a fucking moron
up here. I just take care of everything
There wasn't anyone listening to
uphold the sentence
I don't think I
signed off on this
In answer to the question
if they go with the idea of grown ups 3D
I think I deserve at least a credit
if not a little bit of this
but even if I don't get it
I'll be really excited to see
burp fart jokes
coming at me
right at
they could have smelled by then
yeah exactly
this would be the perfect time to introduce
yeah that new
sensory thing into cinemas
great question, great question
any more great questions?
the bar is high, hello
I'm so good, how are you?
cool
my job in the Shire is I I'm so good. How are you? Cool.
My job in the Shire is I have to corral all the horses.
And then when one gets weak, it's up to me to kill it and my dad cooks it for the chieftain.
So we've got a small family business that we run.
It's pretty good.
I run quality control on the bread.
Which doesn't sound very glamorous over here in Los Angeles,
but let me tell you,
I got the third nicest blazer in Hobbiton,
so I think we know who's laughing about that.
The Montgomery's are famous for their lives.
So it's something else.
I don't know.
We do comedy.
We try to do comedy.
We try to do as much comedy as there is in New Zealand.
There's a little bit.
There's not heaps.
Tim is actually, to free up some more time for his movie watching hobbies,
he's just left a job.
But he was a regular host
on one of our great radio stations,
so that's why his voice sounds so good.
That's where I'm all the way down here.
Silky smooth, coming at you.
99 FM, Radio Hauraki.
Welcome to it.
Feels like I'm pouring honey in your ears
over here at Radio Hauraki.
Coming up in the next 20,
we can look forward to some eagles,
probably shift gears
and get into some of the who.
And then the really classic stones.
They didn't ask for an example
of what you do.
They just said,
what do you do?
Oh, okay.
They weren't like,
take me to New Zealand.
Guy is more successful than me though
because he does television stuff,
which as we all know is a good deal.
And so three of the families have TVs
and I'm very popular with two of them.
Guy and I met because he used to host
a late night youth TV show
and I used to come on and review toilets on it.
Once a week.
That's true. I was the loo review guy. It was called the loo review and used to come on and review toilets on it. Once a week. It's true. I was the Lou review guy.
It was called the Lou review and Tim would come on
and you would have taken
you would have done detailed
This sounds like bullshit but it's online.
Yeah this is true.
Detailed reconnaissance on public toilets
around Auckland and he'd bring in his
findings and share them with me
and I would be belligerent and rude
Really playing to our strengths
yeah and it was
and the channel got cancelled it was really popular
ones and ones of viewers every night
churning in to see the show
it was something else
what do you do?
that was really aggressive
the way you are
hold on let me...
Hold on, let me just try that again.
Hey, so...
Hey, oh!
Oh, it's so good to see you, Marjorie.
God, it's been, what, 20, 30 years?
You look great.
Yeah.
Let me say that.
So what are you doing these days?
What are you up to?
Yeah, but what do you...
That's a full-time job. What's your thing? What do you do?
Yeah.
Yeah. That's a lot of responsibility.
Yeah, taking care of a family. Guy knows
because in the Shire, he is charged
with daycare as well when he's not
milling the bread.
The quality control thing with the bread wasn't as
glamorous as I made it out to be.
I'm moonlighting. Hey, congrats it out to be. I'm moonlighting.
Hey, congrats on your family, too.
I'm very jealous.
I wish people loved me as well.
Next question.
Brett's going to...
When was the first time when you realized that people were paying attention to the podcast?
Was there a moment in time?
The first Paul Scheer mention was pretty big for me.
I'm a big fan of his. By round of applause, who heard about us? Thanks to Paul Scheer mention was pretty big for me. I'm a big fan of his.
By round of applause, who heard about us?
Thanks to Paul Scheer.
Wow, that's really quiet.
You guys are diehard.
That's crazy.
I thought it was going to go crazy for Paul Scheer.
Yeah, but there's all like,
Paul Scheer bounced onto other stuff.
Make some noise if you heard about us on vice.com.
You see?
We could play this all night.
Yeah, no, he's right, though.
Well, no, we couldn't.
What's going on with this guy?
He's a very sexy guy.
How did this group hear us?
Whoa, three ladies.
Mine do.
Really?
Who's Noah?
Noah.
You built the ark and now this, dude?
Thank you so much.
Whoa, watch out. he's held us!
Straight of shrimp, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm here all week.
For me, that was the first big thing.
Hearing him mention our names,
or actually the name of our podcast,
which I believe you may have butchered on that first mini-episode,
but I was elated to hear that.
The only thing prior to that that suggested
anyone was aware we existed was
we got a write-up. I don't think it was
printed in the paper, but on the National
Papers website.
In the Shire.
The unfortunate thing is only two people
have Wi-Fi in the Shire.
Hobbitongazette.co.nz
We got a little write-up on that, and that was from a guy hobbitongazette.co.nz Yeah.
We got a little write-up on that and that was from a guy
who doesn't exist in America
but he made some good stuff over there.
So that was the first pat on the back
we got like,
hey, this is kind of interesting.
He's a cool guy.
Big Al.
In effect.
Sorry.
I don't know why I'm doing that.
Correct. Sorry, I don't know why I'm doing that. I was in Europe for a month.
Correct.
I was wondering if Tim could give us a mystery tour of why you went there.
And also, before that... You're giving me too much time.
Improv's all about...
Boom!
Well, no, because I cannot in my own life imagine doing anything for once a week for a year, let alone this.
Yeah.
So tell us about how you managed
to hold it together.
No, well, Brett,
the timing on that particular
little section of the podcast was interesting
because
he got his heart ripped out.
A very long
relationship ended
days before Guy left.
And so I was actually sleeping on his couch.
I don't have a couch.
He was sleeping in my bed.
Be honest.
Just a figure of speech.
It was kind of cute.
Guy was actually a bit of a dick about it,
which is probably what I needed at the time.
You were not letting me have my grieving time whatsoever.
You were being a real dick right out the bat.
But, um...
I remember being in your bed
and us drinking white Russians and watching the movie.
That was...
That's a low...
This was a low point.
That was the night before I left.
Tim had nowhere to stay.
I'd rented my room out on Airbnb while I was away,
so I'd stripped all the sheets,
so we had the duvet
and the pillows but without
the cover to lie about.
I'm going to grab some of this baby.
So you know your yellow pillow
and yellow duvet that you don't want anyone else
to see and Timbett and I
just absolutely shit faced watching
Grown Ups 2 for the 20 somethingth time.
Alonzo I want to answer your question, though.
The reason why Guy had to go to
Europe is...
Not a lot of people know this about Guy.
He discovered, accidentally,
tripped over it, the cure for Ebola.
Do you guys want to know what it is?
It turns out
if you eat the entire banana, including
the stalk
the virus cannot touch you
for six months.
Guy only came
upon this information when he got
so ripped at his own house
he ate an entire banana
by accident
went to the hospital to visit
his dear aunt who was
very sick at the time.
She has since recovered, which is great news.
Yeah, she's doing really well.
He came into contact with the only person in New Zealand who had Ebola coughed in his face.
Like, horrible, terrifying stuff.
Guy inextricably not struck down with Ebola.
He's unstoppable.
What's his secret?
He gets real stoned and eats entire bananas.
He managed to deduce
that it was the only possibility for the
cure and he didn't, I'm sorry
to say in this room, he didn't
trust the Americans with that information.
So he was
like, I gotta get to the EU
stat. I need to talk to Merkel
on this one.
Germany's done some pretty weird shit
but they're good now.
I like that Angela.
Let's get her on the blower.
And that's why I went to Europe.
I got an audience with Angela Merkel.
She was not very responsive to the idea,
as you can imagine.
I mean, it's pretty weird.
It's pretty weird to walk...
Have you ever walked into sort of the person
who's in charge of pretty much Europe right now
and said, hey, I got news for you.
Whack a whole
banana down your throat.
She did not take
kindly to that, so I was...
Hey, here's a question for the fans.
Did I ever post the video footage
of a guy eating...
No, I remember you didn't. I didn't know.
Because it's disgusting, that's why.
We'll deal with that later on.
See, just throw your questions at us
because we'll talk absolute nonsense
until we get interrupted.
So please, just, yeah.
We'll go to the gentleman just behind that gentleman
who is this gentleman.
You're a gentleman, sir.
Why did you do this?
Why have you done this?
I still struggle to answer that question.
I don't really know.
Why anything, really, though?
Yeah, why get up and go to work?
Like, why have a family?
Why become a film critic?
Why are we all wearing pants?
Just think about it.
Don't laugh at it.
Idiots.
And now the gentleman in front of the gentleman
who was the gentleman
you are now the gentleman
hi
it's not a horse auction
Tim
given the way you feel
about the movie
what do you want us
to take away from this movie
oh
deep
a lot of them haven't seen it
deep
um okay I'm gonna I can't speak for Guy I can only speak for Timbo deep a lot of them haven't seen it deep okay
I'm gonna
I can't speak for Guy
I can only speak for Timbo
we'll answer individually
that's this gentleman
I want you guys
to watch the film
with an open heart and mind
I really do
because my fear is
that people interpret
this podcast
as some sort of
evil vendetta
where we're just trying to
shit on Adam Sandler
that was never my intention.
Adam Sandler's done some sensational work.
This is not among that particular category
of his offerings.
But I want you guys to...
Some people enjoy grown-ups too.
Maybe you'll be one of them.
We don't know.
And that's fine if you are
because we're in the City of Angels.
You guys are very accepting.
All flavours and colours.
You know what I'm saying?
If you are one of those people,
this is probably going to be quite an uncomfortable night for you.
But don't be ashamed of that.
And for the rest of you, don't get all Salem on us, okay?
That's a witch trials reference.
I'm glad you all read The Crucible.
It was in your homework.
What do you want people to take away from the viewing, Guy?
I actually surprisingly agree wholeheartedly with Tim's sentiments.
Fuck off.
Yep.
That was the first time for everyone.
Tim's right.
Honestly.
Sorry, what was that?
Tim's all right.
Watch the movie, right? It's like it's... We were talking today about the first time we Watch the movie right
it's like
it's
we were talking today
about the first time
we watched the movie
and what we remembered
from it
and what happens
when we watch the movie
now is
it's nothing like that
it's a really
different experience
so for you
who haven't seen it yet
this is quite exciting
Oh we hated it though
let me say that
We did
We thought it was garbage
No you
don't pepper that in
don't season them with that.
Sorry.
So,
like you are, by
proxy, you're about to experience
mind you it has been covered
a little bit by the fact that we talked about it for a
year, but you're about to experience
what we felt a year ago. You're going into
this, you don't know what it is,
you kind of know what it is,
but like this is exciting. It should be an exciting movie for you all to watch. I don't know what it is. You kind of know what it is.
But like,
this is exciting. It should be an exciting movie for you all to watch.
You know the difference between Guy and I?
See, I can keep it cool and low like this because I'm radio
trained, but Guy gets excited.
Well, Tim, on TV, you've got to have
some high energy. No, what you want is you want
to grab people by the balls. When you get the upgrade,
you'll understand the way I'm talking.
No, you want to be down here, baby. It's very popular.
You want to chill people out.
You sound like you're asleep.
Next question.
Hello, Seth.
We're going to UCB tomorrow night to watch Grown Ups 1.
I understood the question.
I understood the question. I understood the question.
I just thought I'd get a quick plug in.
I don't know.
I don't really want to see Guy anymore.
Like even beyond a public project,
I don't want to see the Guy person anymore.
That is another thing.
We had a lovely heartfelt speech over sushi today.
And then at the end of it,
I said to Tim,
and in saying all of that,
I'm really looking forward
to not spending time with you.
And he said
I appreciate that
or something friendly.
Yeah.
It's amazing that we've lasted this long
on this project
and in this trip in particular.
We do like
I don't want to see the guy's fucking face.
I don't want to hear about him.
I don't want to see him on Twitter.
I'm going to block you.
I'm going to
I'm going to make an app
that blocks all Guy Montgomery related content
and transforms it into
cat related content.
I'm going to call it Cat Montgomery
and it's going to cost $1.25 and you can
get it on Apple iTunes
and Google Play next month.
It sounds great.
I can't wait to be
a part of it.
So we've been working on that for a couple of years now
we're really looking forward
to launching that platform
got a really good feeling about it
really strong feeling about it
and other than that
we both have quite busy
stand up comedy schedules
coming up
couldn't tell you the number
because I got lined up
I could
because the number's zero
so it's hard to talk about that.
But we're going to go to Melbourne.
We're trying to
make a year of it.
Have a real crank.
We're hoping to come back
to Los Angeles.
Guy's got a short film
and a film festival
that's very prestigious.
So I think he deserves
a round of applause for that.
What's the name of the movie, man?
These people will clap
at anything.
Yeah. What? Yeah, well, that's good. What's the name of the movie, man? These people will clap at anything. Yeah.
What?
Yeah, well, that's true.
It's called Return.
It's in Clermont for long.
I was kind of kidding when I said shout it out.
I just want to acknowledge that you do cool stuff.
I know.
Does that answer your question in any way, shape or form?
Because that's the answer you're going to get I'm afraid.
We are looking at creating
some new concepts.
We're going to have a talk. Some new shapes.
What we're really looking to move into
is sort of geometry and what is a shape?
What is in a shape?
What is a new shape?
I would love to talk to you about
fourth dimensional thinking.
But that's after the patio breaks.
By the way, sorry, we forgot to tell you all,
we're operating on a different plane now.
We level up. We're going to get this show
on the road, I think. I don't know.
Well, I just want to know. I have very little concept
of time. Was there a moment
when you guys looked at each other and said,
I don't know about finishing
this? Really early
on, Brett.
And you hear it in the podcast the desperation and the questioning
I think about episode 3 or 4
I tried hard to back I was like
what if we call it a day
what if we just you know
what if we don't
but
I think when it was open ended when we said that we were going to
watch it just until we couldn't.
That was the original mission?
That was the original.
I'm pretty sure the first time we talked about it,
we were like, we're going to do this until we can't do it anymore.
But that's silly, because that could be like week three.
That's right, so then after three weeks,
Tim was like, we're going to do this for a year.
And he put a cap on that immediately.
Yeah, I forgot what the question was.
I wanted to back out really early.
That's what it was.
Oh, yeah.
Did you ever have any deep, dark arguments between you about,
we should stop, we should keep going, we should stop?
Do you know, like, weirdly, Guy and I, we get on.
We're good friends.
We're good friends now.
We didn't actually, I don't know.
I feel like you guys have probably heard our relationship develop
over the course
of the podcast
which is weird
for a lot of reasons
mainly because
we're not dating
and it seems like
what I've described
is a romantic relationship
I would also imagine
you'd have a pretty good read
on where the relationship
is at the moment
and I think
we're definitely past
the honeymoon phase
where it's all
you know, like...
Yeah, we kind of agree on...
I'm not going to, like, all of his eccentricities,
which we used to be cute,
they're now kind of like,
oh, I wish you didn't laugh like that.
You know?
Ouch!
That kind of stuff.
But I'm from radio, baby.
I laugh like this.
I go...
Coming up next!
Television!
It's better than radio.
That's how I talk.
Okay.
Does anyone have any burning questions before we all kill ourselves?
Oh, we got one down here.
Okay.
And then we're going to go over to you.
I saw you.
I like you.
Yeah.
Or in a cinema.
I think it's the perfect way to end it. Do you guys agree? many people yeah or in a cinema how do you feel about that how do you feel
about that
I think it's the
perfect way to end it
do you guys agree
I think this is like
there's no
this is literally
the ideal situation
I could not conceive
of any better way
to do it
I couldn't think of
a better
I didn't think of
this place
I couldn't imagine
this place
this is really cool
I mean shit we're in LA for some reason yeah I didn't think of this place. I couldn't imagine this place. This is really cool.
I mean, shit.
We're in LA for some reason.
We're at this incredible theatre.
It's full of human beings.
This is as big as it gets for us.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Brett. Everybody, please.
Nailed it.
And thank Dan and Amanda.
And they should thank Paul Scheer.
And then Paul Scheer should thank the guy who told them about it.
We were talking Monday about who is the guy who told Paul Scheer.
That's patient zero, as you said.
Yeah, if anyone knows who that dude is who gave Paul Scheer the tip-off,
that guy really is responsible for everything.
So if anyone knows him, come see us after the show.
And I believe you had a question, sir?
Oh, yeah.
This might not be the best question to hand on,
but was there any reason why
Guy Capone was leaving?
Oh, yeah.
There was a pretty good reason, man.
Yeah.
Because I'd watched a movie 30 times.
Seems like a pretty fucking good reason to me.
I don't mean to turn on you like that I guess I'm feeling pretty defensive about it
we're here to win hearts and minds man
it's coming a little hot
the reason is like
our schedules didn't always lend themselves
to sort of really easy watching
and so sometimes it was happening late at night
or after an event
or sort of we realised we were at a party and we could sort of knock one out and accordingly sometimes it was happening late at night or after an event or sort of we realised we were at a party
and we could sort of knock one out.
And accordingly...
As it were.
You're phrasing.
So we'd ram it in and I'd come in.
I was so enthused.
Danger zone, bro. Danger zone.
No, New Zealand's above this, so fuck you, Los Angeles.
Monty.
Okay, what would happen... Monty!
I just wanted to be aged on Benjamin for one moment.
Okay.
What would happen is
Tim and I would communicate enthusiasm
about watching the movie to each other
and Tim Beck, God bless his soul,
is not the type of guy to fall asleep
when he sees he's going to do something.
Guy Montgomery is some human beings in New he's not going to attest to.
He can make a promise that he cannot, you know, with regards to being awake, uphold.
And so I told Tim I was going to watch...
I would wait for your poor girlfriend.
I really do.
She's fine with it.
There she is, telling her about your day.
Your narcolepsy kicks in.
Boom, you're out.
Wow, that sounds great.
I got fired.
No, it's just, I'm just a piece of shit.
I don't know what the schedule is.
We could do one more by the look of...
Let's just take one more question.
I saw a hand shooter before.
You're so keen.
There's two hands
can you
are you
together
can you combine
the questions
do one word
each
yeah do one
one word
who are you
talking to
I was talking
to these
there's a man
and a woman
there's so many
god damn
questions
shit
okay
doodoo's
like
give me a thumbs up
you
champion
you
yes
what's champion of the thumb hold on Give me a thumbs up. You. Champion. You. Yes.
Champion of the thumb.
Hold on.
What's your gut reaction?
You go. You lead.
If it's on TV TV which it has been
in New Zealand
a couple of times
I let people know
when I know about it
I'm like hey
it's the movie
we've been talking about
if I see it out in the
do you know what
I don't think I've really
seen it much out in the wild
wild grown ups
do a pair
yeah
it's super effective
guy who's asleep
guy who's been poisoned
Tim played
poker flute
it did nothing
big Pokemon fan
at the front
love that
love that
we've got our
Venn diagram
you're sitting
squarely in the middle
of our fans
Pokemon fans
so I haven't seen
a lot in the wild
I think what happened
is probably
it's one of those
movies that had
a huge budget
when they did
the cinema release
everyone would go
to the opening weekend and they could blast that around but because is probably it's one of those movies that had a huge budget when they did the cinema release everyone would go to
the opening weekend
and they could blast that around
and
but because
I wasn't in tune
to it then
that just passed me by
and I don't really
see it anywhere
the dude in the video
store today
luckily Cinefamily
had us covered
with a Blu-ray
but we forgot to bring
our New Zealand copy
I don't think would even work here
we went down to a video rental store and said,
can we please buy a copy of Grown Ups 2?
And he just gave us the one that was the only rental one in the store
and was like, don't worry.
I don't think anyone's going to miss it.
So we bought it for $5.
I tipped him a dollar because he was such a gentleman about it.
We thought better than explaining ourselves.
Yeah.
But there we go.
Do you want to add anything to that?
No, I don't even remember the question.
Very good.
So we have time for one more
and then we've got to watch.
Just start yelling it out.
Who wins?
Do you feel any guilt
for the amount of people
that are now watching from the... I've never thought I
I
does the artist
take personal responsibility
hey okay
hold on now
whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa
you go
well she said the magic word
which is guilt
let me tell you about guilt
before Guy and I
left to come here to Los Angeles, we did
a little fundraiser where we wrote down the entire
movie script by memory
and then performed it
in Auckland, in our hometown
using
friends who are musicians and comedians
and stuff to take on all the roles. Luckily
there are 6,000 people in this movie
so we fit a lot of our friends in.
We read the stage directions.
We sold out a community hall,
and it was more or less a hostage situation.
The doors were locked.
Honestly, because we didn't really know what would happen.
It took two and a half hours.
And the journey was...
Enter in, we kick off, people are like, oh, this is so exciting. and the journey was enter in
we kick off
people are like
oh this is so exciting
I know that guy from TV
that's Chelsea Jade
who's a great musician
da da da
this is so cool
half hour in
oh wait a minute
from radio
they were saying that
they did say that
thank you
and then about
half an hour in
and we could sense this
because Guy and I
were in the middle
of the stage
people were like oh, we're fucked up.
Like, this is no good.
But what do you expect?
And by the end of it, Guy had gone mental because Guy and I both, the guilt would just be heaped on us as time went on.
We got to the two hour mark and Guy was just screaming the lines
at this poor crowd that had come to support us.
His face as red as a cherry tomato.
Veins popping out like he's some kind of Hulk Hogan impersonator from his heyday.
And people were getting pretty freaked out.
And I felt kind of bad about that and
afterwards everyone was very lovely but
you want guilt? That's guilt.
What those people experienced
was horrible.
Good answer.
And with that I think it's time to watch the movie.
But if we keep talking, we don't have to.
Come on.
This is...
Hey, guys.
Seriously, dude.
We did it.
This is that.
All right.
You're going to see some... I'm going to get down here first.
Are you guys on flight mode?
It's very important...
Oh, shit, it is right now
Hold on
We have five minutes?
Patrick Schwarzenegger did not respond to my invitation
Oh wait hold on
God knows why
There's one of two things that
You could be about to say
So you say one of them, and we'll
do that, and then we'll say the other one.
Well, I feel like the first thing we should do
then is... Take a pants off.
Patrick Schwarzenegger is here.
Thanks to
everyone who was so generous to give to our
Indiegogo.
We did a tattoo bit with you
and you guys won.
I got one. We did a tattoo bit with you, and you guys won. Yeah, take them.
Take those photos.
It's like a Nike ad.
It says, do Patrick Schwarzenegger.
So, in case you were wondering, the lettering that's on there is respectively the Latin for love every moment and live every day.
How do you not know this?
Oh, my bad. It's live every
moment and Latin
and love every day. Also
in Latin and we'll be carrying those for
life.
You want to front
foot this other surprise?
Just while I put my belt on.
So, ladies and gentlemen, before we kick the movie off,
a very special person has come to join us.
We've been waiting a long time to talk to her,
and I'm sure you have too.
Who do you think we're talking about right now?
Tanya Aitken, please come and join us on the stage.
stage. It's actually Tanya from the movie. It's really her. We met her for the first time tonight.
Stand between us, Tanya.
I don't know.
Nobody knows what my face looks like.
Should I just stand from the back?
A lot of these people haven't seen the movie yet.
I've got a question for you, though. Could you try and replicate the sound real quick
that you make in the movie?
I'd have to get hit in the head.
I'm not going to do that.
I want to come back to LA at some point
and you seem like a nice person.
So, Tanya,
did you have any...
We reached out to you pretty early on.
Before
we necessarily were a non-entity.
What was your thought?
What was going through your head
when just randomly from New Zealand
some guys were like, hey, we want to talk to you about grown-ups too.
I thought they really must be, you know, weird enough for me to answer.
So I was like, okay, they must be either suffering from some kind of mental illness
and I'm going to do my, you know, charitable outreach.
Or, you know, I'm just a weird girl.
That's very kind of you
suggesting we have mental illness
yeah I'm real stoked to hear that
wow
that is a real badge of honour
like real quick do you have
and I didn't sort of give you heads up
on this so you may not but do you have any
anecdotes or stories that you remember
when you were working on the film
maybe with the stars,
maybe Adam did something crazy?
Maybe they had a really good unit,
maybe there were some really good sort of muesli bars.
I could tell some really funny stories,
but I don't know if anybody's videotaping this,
and I don't want to end up on some TMZ website tomorrow.
I can tell you there's a guy there.
No, I'm kidding.
No, no, it totally doesn't matter.
Something funny that happened the night that we actually filmed the scene that I'm in is
Adam and the guys just started playing Tupac and Biggie music, like extremely loud on set
in this tiny town in Massachusetts.
And everybody just had like a vicious dance party to Biggie music.
That sounds...
Hey, is Kevin James a mover?
Because he strikes me
as a really good dancer.
Yeah, he's really, really good.
And then that same night
we had a hot dog cart
from Fenway Park
brought to the set.
And they're real Fenway dogs.
That's legit.
No wonder the movie
turned out wonky
because you guys were having
such a good time off set.
Right, right. How can you focus? Oh shit, I forgot the movie turned out wonky because you guys were having such a good time off set. How can you focus?
Oh shit, I forgot the movie.
Oh, we've got to film something.
Little shit face on hot dogs and biggie.
You've got no idea what's happening on set.
Right?
I assume that's how it went.
It was like summer camp. It really was.
I never wanted it to end, but then it did.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Tanya Aiken.
Thank you so much for coming out tonight.
Really lovely. Have a seat.
Enjoy you on the big screen again.
And if you want to make sure you see where Tanya's
at, ice cream parlor
hit by a scoop.
Let's enjoy the movie. Thank you very much
guys. Cheers.
