The Worst Idea Of All Time - Episode Forty Three - Machetski

Episode Date: November 15, 2018

Twas the morn before ChristmasAnd all through Tim's flatNobody was homeAnd he was down with that.He drunk beer after beer while he watched Grown Ups 2While his friend Guy Montgomery was watching it tooBut alas, the lads were apart for their viewing this weekAnd over Skype, using computers, did the boys online speak.And Tim had had beers, too many to countAnd Guy was in the South Island, next to a Mount!So they watched and they chatted and it all turned to shit.So they tried once again to record and, HEY! This is it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the worst idea of all time, episode number 43. My name is Tim Batt. My name is Guy Montgomery and a happy holidays to all of you. Yes, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Right up front, we'd like to make you aware of the situation of the watching here today. Firstly, I'm surrounded by many, many empty beer bottles. I think I've polished off seven beers now, Guy. And what I would like to say is that we just recorded a podcast and uh guy's computer uh crashed and lost the audio file on his side so we're having to uh just uh record another one

straight off the bat yeah so there's going to be a particular flavor of anguish on this one uh as we we dip into the grown-ups two pool not once but twice in one day and uh of course the exciting the exciting news is that tim you've still got your audio file don't you yeah i do it's here yeah it's here so i mean the option is always there just to just release i mean that would be a very funny listen because you would sound truly insane because it would sound like you're imagining recording a podcast with someone but who wants like does anyone want that is the question i feel insane enough is it like i'll just explain my situation right now i'm alone completely alone in my big flat it's just me it's christmas eve it's uh it's

only 10 past 11 in the morning now for christ Christ's sake. I've already watched the movie and done one podcast and polished off quite a few beers. I've got a good quality microphone in front of me, which to increase the audio quality, I've taken the following steps. Number one, I put it on a stand, which I'm holding. I've put on fingerless gloves that are made of possum fur

to reduce the amount of mic noise. I've got a pop sock in front of it and i'm wearing two sets of headphones so on the inside i've got like earbuds that are connected to the cell phone which is how i can hear what guy's saying and over the top of that i'm listening to my own voice through larger headphones to make sure I'm not peeking out that is that is a pretty wacky arrangement mine isn't quite as uh quite as exciting but it's also of interest I'm outside in the beating sun I've got uh one muff headphone on my left ear my phone pressed against my right ear uh and to try and combat the sun, because the best reception is only available in sunny spots right now,

I've put a chair with a towel over it on the table next to my computer. It looks weird. I mean, it looks really weird, Tim. And I'm just recording straight into this shitty little computer microphone, so I apologize for audio quality whenever I speak on this particular episode of The Worst Idea of All Time. But we're not here to talk about the technical arrangement. No, but firstly, Guy, you need to explain where you are and why we're doing this crazy technical arrangement. That's important.

Yeah, well, we just had a bit of a technical hiccup, didn't we? Internet, I'm currently in the Marlborough Sounds, which is the top of the South South Island and reception and internet access are patchy at best and so we've been forced into a corner and we're improvising, much like I imagine the cast of Grown Ups 2 were forced into a corner when they realised it was the first day of shooting and they hadn't written a script and they also had to improvise

so there's going to be varying degrees of quality to the podcast, but let's all hope for the best and that we can get a higher review than seven percent on rotten tomatoes yeah together i think we can we can achieve all those goals um god so where do we i mean well where do we jump in here tim i first first things first tim uh it's it's lonely going back to watching the movie without a companion i'll tell you that it is a very lonely and harrowing experience. It took me right back to the days when you were at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,

which was a very dark time in my life. Excuse me. A little gas there. Sorry, that'll happen after a couple of beersies. It's not fun, bro. It's not good. No. It's not good. No, it's not fun. And then moreover,

I feel like this technical sort of kerfuffle we found ourselves in afterwards just highlights the lengths that we've gone to to ensure that we get to have this important conversation around watching Grown Ups 2 for the 43rd time is it's too much, really. I mean, I do not think that it warrants this amount of commitment.

You're damn right about that. It definitely doesn't. There's no question. What we're doing doesn't make any fucking sense. But that's the point, isn't it? I guess what's important is that we do get down to the nitty-gritty and discuss exactly what has happened in the film today. The plot is still very similar, very similar to last week and the weeks preceding that. It's just a bunch of people in a town really and that is essentially

the plot. I mean they don't really go into too much more detail than that. Tim I did notice something which I'd quite like us to start doing. There's a new hashtag available for us. Hashtag Puritan Power. Which is one of the slogans at Stanton High School. I think that's a really good hashtag. I think we could have something on our hands there. Wait, have you searched it yet though, bro? Have you seen what's on there currently?

Well, you know full well that my internet situation is dire so no, I have not. Let me do it while I'm talking to you. I actually, like just in the last five minutes or so, feel like the alcohol has really kicked in. I was very lucid for the first recording of the podcast, but I feel like it's really coming to the fore now.

The afterburners have been activated. Well, Tim, there were a few points in the movie that, I mean, I guess the benefit of watching it alone is that you do pay attention sort of with more consistency than otherwise. It was a very immersive viewing. It was just me and the laptop with the headphones on. I mean, it was a real cinema experience. I still don't know why exactly the guys go to Kmart.

Beyond the real world reason, which is to pay for part of the film but there's what what are you doing at least you know go to the trouble of some explanation for why they go to came out they're just suddenly in came out no one suggested they go to came out no one actually needed anything none of what they buy is is part of the plot except for maybe the raft yeah uh they just they're just suddenly in it i mean tim if we were hanging out one morning and i said to you hey i've got a really great idea for how we could kill like maybe 45 minutes yeah should we nip down to the the kmart what would you say i'd say all right let's go they've got cheap pepsi well i guess i mean if that's how our friendship works then it

makes it slightly more conceivable that that's how it could work in growing up soon maybe they just were short of something to do and wanted to go I was assuming what you would say to me is guy could you could you could you please come up with something better with a better idea the only thing like Chris Rock when he's in Kmart is looking at the garden hose uh section you know just to facilitate a conversation with Tim Meadows he winds up buying that garden hose. Did you see what happened to that garden hose in the film, Tim? I sure didn't. It didn't amount to much. And I'll tell you what, everyone buys something.

And I know that Nick Swanson buys toilet paper, and I know that Chris Rock buys indiscriminate objects in a shopping bag, and Kevin James has something too. And a garden hose. And a garden hose. i can't remember if sandler has uh lenny fader has anything no i don't think kevin james buys anything i think

sandler buys something i don't think kevin james does because he's got to keep his arms free for that great burps night he does in the car park a very memorable moment in the film good point just drive me insane though there's no explanation mate um yeah well you're trying to you know you're trying to find too much meaning in all this all this stuff how's the puritan power hashtag looking dude if i've spelt it right nothing exists on it is it p-u-r-i-t-i-a-n is that how you spell puritan no it's p-u-r-i-t-a-N oh there's no second I well then that's my fucking bad alright hold on let me delve back into it

let's remove that I there and uh oh shit there's tons here we bloody go here's a link to a bloody New York Times opinion piece here alright do you want me to read some of these?

What's the go here? What do you want to have happen? I don't really care. How interested are you in Puritan power? Okay. Here's the first one. At Pastor Clint writes, At Coyestill, it's C-O-Y-E-S-T-I-L-L,

Power cleaning big weight in the shed today, quoting the Bible and pounding the iron. Hashtag Puritan Power. The second one is actually in Spanish. And it says, Panda de Noños. Hashtag Puritan Power. Retweet.

Some Instagram thing. The third is... My interest in the Puritan Power hashtag is waning at a rate of knots Tim let's talk about the film again let's get off this Puritan Power hashtag hashtag Puritan Power

ok but don't forget that you started this hot mess of a situation of a hashtag of a fucking conversation I didn't quite anticipate you approaching it with as much vigor as you did, and that is my bad. I underestimated your current state of inebriation. This is only half about that, bro.

It's only half about that. You know what I mean? What did you notice today in watching Grown Ups 2? Here's the things I noticed in no particular order because I wrote down some notes. This, and I'll level with you guys,

I used this as my shining light in the first recording of the podcast. Lenny Fader says at the start, he says, it's the first time I haven't had a job since I was 16 years old. I'm just enjoying the fun. Now he says this in a seemingly flippant comment to his wife, Selma Hayek, in the movie. Roxanne, what's her double-barreled last name?

Fader? I don't remember. Oh, fuck, neither do I. We should know that. But anyway, she suggests they have another kid. He says that line. But it's that last bit of the line. I'm just enjoying the fun that really stuck out to me.

And I feel like Lenny Fader slash Adam Sandler is saying that to us. He's breaking the fourth wall and he's saying, this is the first time I've worked on a film since my early days where I've been grinding away, where I worked my way up from my bootstraps on Saturday Night Live and I made these very good comedy films where I worked my way up from my bootstraps on saturday night live and i made these very good comedy films where i worked oh so hard on them and this one do you know what i've just i've got my foot off the gas a little bit i'm just enjoying the fun man's and mates decided so you

feel like yeah he's almost breaking the fourth wall he's winking at the camera when he says that that's what i'm saying i'm saying not only that but it's actually more like a warning for the rest of the film because it comes pretty early where it's like you know what guys just take this for what it is me and my mates decided to get together and hang out and and there happened to be some cameras rolling and we made up some skits they don't amount to much i know that there's not a broad story here this isn't lord of the rings we're shooting but you know fucking we had a good time so have at it well i i don't doubt that they had a good time i just feel like it wouldn't have killed them if they they'd maybe feel like they did have a really good time on set or at least a round set

maybe in the trailers uh you know after they'd finished work for the day or whatever i just don't know that they captured the essence of that fun on film. I hear you because of Chris Rock's dead eyes. That's what makes you say that. If any time you look at Chris Rock's eyes while he's on camera, cold, dead eyes. He doesn't like what he's doing. He doesn't like what he's making.

Tim, I really like that. I think that's an interesting point. And certainly worth consideration my shining light this week was actually it's one of the first lines in the movie that I've never heard before it's really close to the top

when the deer starts pissing all over the bedroom and pissing on Adam Sandler Salma Hayek actually says close your mouth because he's getting urine in his mouth first of all that's funny. I've never heard that. First of all, it's funny because of Dears pissing in Adam Sandler's mouth, which is just good comedy.

And, I mean, I think I just found it satisfying that there was a line in there I'd missed. And that was actually, I mean, it's not bad comedy, is it? It's also not bad advice. If a deer's pissing on your face, surely your instinct would be to close your mouth. Yep, you're not wrong, you are not wrong so i mean i just i found that little hidden treasure buried in the in the opening scene of the film one which has been much derided by us uh in previous episodes of the podcast i actually found quite a lot during the movie um as i was saying earlier that i i feel by virtue of not sitting next to you and

sort of having having someone to deflect to or discuss you know and get on tangents with when it's just you and the movie there are things you notice which aren't otherwise available to you boy do you zone in guy boy do you get involved with that you just you put your head down you put your bum up and you get to the work of looking at grown-ups too as a real work of cinema. That's right. Also, but you'll probably notice that a lot of these things I noticed were at the start of the film when I was still sort of quite optimistic about the viewing experience,

and then the list sort of tapers out after about the maybe 10-minute mark. There was a really nice shot down the hallway of Becky, Roxanne, and Greg. When the deer's running down the hallway and Greg's in the shower, Roxanne and Becky are landing out their bedrooms. It's just a beautifully constructed shot. I'm sure the DOP had a really good time taking that. Probably a few high fives were thrown around set after they bought that. It's sort of like a focused line.

What the fuck is happening to us that we're heaping this amount of praise on Grown Ups 2? Like, I started to suspect today because i was watching it by myself and at the very beginning before i had the turn i had some sort of warm feeling it's like oh this recognizable old friend coming in from the cold to greet me a happy farewell and a merry christmas and i feel like there is some semblance of a stockholm syndrome type scenario i do i do it does sound like a Stockholm Syndrome situation doesn't it although it's unique

from Stockholm Syndrome in that we haven't been kidnapped by grown ups we've sort of surrendered ourselves to like we haven't been kidnapped have we the conditions of entrapment are semi relevant the fact of the matter is we are engaged with this enemy.

We are trapped inside of its prison, no matter if it put us there or we put ourselves there. And now we're starting to form some weird kind of symbiotic, sympathetic relationship with this film where we start forgiving its sins. And I don't think it deserves that man hey just before that you were saying this is just adam sandler having some fun and maybe we shouldn't hold the movie up to the standards that we have been week after week i mean i feel like these beers you've been drinking got you all over the map tim i've had

eight beers guy and i don't know what i'm saying anymore. I've seen this movie 43 times now. You can't, like, I don't know where the insanity begins and ends. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, look, I'm sorry. I don't mean to sort of shine the cold, hard, magnifying glass of logic on you too hard. I mean, it sounds like you're in a pretty dark place. It's Christmas Eve. You're all by yourself.

You're drunk in a flat. You're recording your second podcast after your 43rd year that's fucked up bro and the movie is like an hour and a half long and the podcast is like half an hour this is this is too much for christmas eve it's far too much it's it's quite a lot to take in another thing that i noticed uh in the movie tim is I don't know if we've talked about it before, I'm really worried about just the general health of everyone in Stanton, Connecticut. Tell me more. I first noticed it when the, you know,

there's that shot on the bus where Nick Swartzen's asleep at the back of the bus and the kids are feeding him sort of what look like twisties, we call them in New Zealand. I think they might be Cheetos in america oh sure um now i don't know if if i was a parent i wouldn't want my kid eating eating these sort of quite fatty treats on the on the way to school that's not a good place to start is it oh god but it could but no because it goes on from there because these aren't even like young kids who don't know better these are these are teenagers who should start having some consideration from their body and then like you look at chris rock's family they're having

not like pure oj but that tropicana orange juice at breakfast and pepsi the rest of the day i mean there's a lot of sugar going in their bodies there that's a diabetes risk you look at the dinner you know that after-party dinner when they have eggs, pancakes, sausages, bacon all at about 1am? Yeah. He's a full-grown man with families to worry about. And then Adam Sandler has the gall to walk into his bedroom with his newly pregnant wife.

He's just eaten presumably two servings of what is an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at the Lammensofts, and he's still going back for more. He's eating chips. Potato chips. He's got Pepsi next to the bed. Crisps for our UK listeners. I mean, these people can't be expected to live much longer than 50.

When you live in the grown-ups to universe, do you want to live much longer than 50? Well, that's a good point. Okay, so let me lay something on you guy i mean we know that the rules are slightly different in the grown-ups to universe for example nicks watson doesn't die when he gets his neck broken in a horrific bus incident at the hands of lenny fader which would kill a normal man under normal circumstances so we know know the rules are different. So I put it to you that in the Grown Ups 2 universe, you cannot kill yourself directly. There's no way to do it.

It's disallowed, right? It's like in the Christian faith, killing yourself is a sin, in certain denominations at least. I believe in if you're a devout Catholic. In Catholicism, you know, it's a sin to kill yourself. And I'll tell you one thing mormonism it definitely is so i put it to you grown-ups too is set in a pseudo mormon setting

where you cannot kill yourself directly and these guys just want to escape the reality of their daily lives and the only way they can do it is by eating their fat asses into an early grave. I see. So you think they're deliberately sort of going about this poor nutrition in the hopes of an early grave. Death. That's what I'm positing. It may be a reflection of my current situation and the darkness which I found myself surrounded in. It's not even noon now, for Christ's sake.

I'm wasted. It's not even new now, for Christ's sake. I'm wasted. It's Christmas Eve. But I'd like to think that it's not a projection situation and that I'm actually picking up on something that I haven't in the previous weeks of watching this. I'd like to think that as well. There are some other talking points I'd quite like to tackle before we get into our regular segments.

Oh, dig in. Which is, I think that they need to do a bit of a culling of the staff at the high school, or at all the schools in Stanton. We've talked about the ballet recital before. Now, this recital lasts for probably less than 10 minutes. Presumably the ballet teacher's been working on this with the kids for, I don't know, a couple of months at least. At least. To get them ready for their big don't know, a couple of months at least. At least.

To get them ready for their big performance. There's only about 15 kids on stage. There's over 100 people watching that recital. There's more than four adults to one child on stage. Who are these grown-ups? Well, I could take you on on that point right now if you'd allow me to. Would you allow me to? Of course. Shaq himself,

Officer... Fazu. Fazu says himself, everyone's going to be there. Everyone knows about the hot teacher, bro. Everyone knows about that teacher. Everyone's coming to see her. My question is more,

how did the husbands drag their wives to that event? Because everyone seems to be coupled up. I just don't understand i do not understand how a 10 minute ballet recital featuring 12 children draws that crowd i mean obviously you've made the point of the ballet teacher but questions need to be asked i mean the education the ministry of education needs to look at look at where these resources are being put put put into the schools because the other thing i thought was, you know when Adam Sandler trips up on that sprinkler and breaks his son's leg? Oh yeah, I remember it fondly.

They're in the middle of a fully functional football field. That isn't like just a temporary irrigation sprinkler. That is embedded in the field. That is a health hazard. I mean, presumably they play full football games on that. How has it not happened before?

How is that groundskeeper not in huge trouble? especially because in New Zealand because I'm aware that the majority of our audience is in America in New Zealand we have this thing called ACC which is the Accident Compensation Corporation

which would freak you guys out because like you think obamacare is socialized medicine we've got legit socialized medicine over here and it is wonderful we all pay into a big pool and if you fuck yourself up accidentally they give you a pay out they fix you and they they pay for you if you're off work to like 80 of your income or something in america, they sue the fuck out of each other all the time. They fucking love it. So

if you've got a sprinkler out there and it's at the university, isn't it? It's at Isn't it at Bronson? No, it's not at the university. It's at the high school. Stanton High if we're calling it there. I don't know. Hashtag Puritan Power. Puritan Power. Go Puritans.

But someone would, like Keithy, and especially because Lenny Fader was an agent in Hollywood as far as we can get a grasp on in the first movie. So he is well aware of the power of the law and of getting legal on people's asses. He would sue the fuck out of that groundskeeper. Yeah, I mean, he'd be calling in a lot of high-powered lawyers and really looking to take that school to task i just i just feel like it's a huge oversight on the part of a groundskeeper his predominant job is to keep is to keep the grounds i mean the last thing you want is a groundskeeper trying to maintain a

decent reputation as a as an embedded sprinkler in the middle of a functioning football field that's guy it's not even high risk high reward it's just needlessly risky we've got a couple of destinations we need to head to and we are quickly running out of road to hit them in so if i may i'd like to invite you onto a little vehicle of mine would that be okay with you that sounds great to me tim oh shit hold on here it comes now roll up roll up for the mystery tour and roll up it's an inspiration roll up for the mystery tour this tibushimi mystery tour is coming to take i is coming to take I away. Coming to take I away. Take him today. That was beautiful.

It wasn't, but I thank you for humouring me. Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour. Tim, have you got something for this? Certainly do. Here's what's happened to Steve Buscemi. He has been injured in the first movie, and we haven't seen the first movie, so we're trying to guess his injuries.

Here are our clues. His hands were affixed in the touchdown position for two years, and he has had 40% feeling in his body. What I would like to posit is that he has been involved in a horrific boxcar accident. Boxcars are real cool. Often a father and son venture where you get together and you make out of planks of wood a box, you put some wheels on it and a steering wheel.

It's very rudimentary. And then you race those things downhill against the other neighbourhood kids. Now, Steve Buscemi made one of these for his son and to test it out he went down a mighty hill to really show his son what it was made of, how fast it

could go and his cornering abilities. Unfortunately he lost control and ended up fucking out and slammed into a dumpster at the end. But what happened was he had his hands in the touchdown position at the time because he went woo i'm the king of the world look at me son um and he really yeah yeah fucked out and it smashed him that is probably in from recent

weeks one of the more plausible theories we've had about how steve buscemi got his injuries a lot more possible i'm gonna be really interested to find out yeah, really, or I also have heard from numerous sources that Steve Buscemi, as it turns out, doesn't have a fascination with fingering jars of mayonnaise and that was just pure speculation on my part. I really loved that one though, by the way bro.

I just wanted to put that out there. Well Tim, I like that one. As you said we're running out of time so if you wouldn't mind humouring me quickly, I've actually, I've got a friend who's coming over. Do you? Who's that? Who's your mate? Yeah. Oh, he's got a bit of a stutter. When he comes to the room, he usually goes a bit like this.

He goes... Padish force, party time. It's Padish was a nigger and he's riding on a jet ski. It's Padish force, party time. He's brandishing a machete and he's riding on a jet ski. It's Paddy Schwartz. Party time. He's brandishing a machete and we're saying, Paddy, put it down. It's Paddy Schwartz. Party time.

Machete ski. Paddy Schwartz has got a new business. Machete ski. Brought to you by Patrick Schwarzenegger. Hashtag. Sick of not being allowed to carry. Hashtag pure and power. Hashtag machete ski.

Hashtag machete ski. How do you spell machete ski real quick, Guy? Just so people can tweet that out? M-A-C-H-E-T-S-K-I. Thank you. Meshitsky. It's a business idea that Patrick Schwarzenegger,

after he's made a lot of money on Blaze Pizza, hashtag Blaze Pizza, big thanks to, frankly, the finest and fastest pizza on Venice Beach. No, don't hashtag Blaze Pizza. You've got to tag them in.

And I think it's just hashtag Blaze Pizza, I think. Let me double check. But you go. At Blaze Pizza. Anyway, well, this isn't my Patrick Schwarzenegger party time moment, but I understand that he started a business where he's just started strapping machetes onto the front of jet skis. And it's a classic example of working backwards from the name.

He just came up with the word machete quite likely and sort of thought he'd see if he can dip his toe in the machete or jet ski pool. But my Paddy Schwartz party time moment this week, Tim, was when Patrick Schwarzenegger got headbutted by the blonde frat boy at the quarry. It looked to me like an improvised offer from the blonde frat boy at the quarry. It looked to me like an improvised offer from the blonde frat boy, and Patrick Schwarzenegger was not expecting the headbutt, and he sort of was a bit all at sea for all of half a second to a second, but it was a joy to watch him recover in the professional years.

He recovered at pace and sort of turned back to Adam Sandler and the grown-ups. Paddy Schwartz headbutts, like who headbutts whom? He receives a headbutt, so they're psyching up and threatening the grown-ups. Paddy Schwartz headbutts. Like, who headbutts whom? Because my memory is that Paddy... No, he receives a headbutt. So they're psyching up and threatening the grown-ups. And the blonde guy looks at Patrick Schwarzenegger and he bows his head and he butts right into his chest or his thorax region.

Oh, yeah. If he was an insect. And it's just... Yeah, what's... Where's your windpipe? What's in the middle of your body? Your windpipe? What's a thorax?

Well, you don't have a thorax because you're not an insect, but I guess it's your torso, your sternum, if you go a little north of your belly. I think I wanted to say sternum. Sternum? Sure.

Sure. Sure, sure, sure. Well, I feel like my ignorance is really distracted from the Paddy Schwartz party time moment. No, don't you dare. Don't you dare. No, no, no. Not at all. So tell me what exactly about that moment is so beautiful for you.

It was just watching, getting to watch sort of the raw footage of Patrick Schwarzenegger deal with an improvised offer and then seeing him with his shaky sea legs like a newborn foal. He was really struggling to find his feet. But in a matter of seconds, he came to. And not only did he accept the offer, he yes-anded the offer, which is one of the classic rules of improv. He said yes-and, and he took that.

And his and was he turned to the to the grown-ups and sort of turned his fear into into a threat and into essentially their fear of the frat boys all right guys really powerful stuff it's a good one it's a real good one i want to announce that i have tried to recreate uh the drinking rules for the grown-ups to drinking game and uh they're really coming along and what my aim is is to have these out uh on or around new year's so during the festive season if you find yourself at a lost stand with some mates you can go i've got just the thing for this jump on the facebook.com slash worst idea of all time have a look at the rules there and go you know what we're

going to do gentlemen today we're going to watch grown ups 2 and we're going to follow Tim and Guy's advice on where and when to drink and I'd like to add that based on the rules I have so far you do drink quite a lot during the movie so you just want to take really like you know

not a big gulp you want to take a little sip of beer um at each point that i've i've labeled out in the rules it's not coming out for another week um but they'll be there soon enough because i very good very good work we did a drinking game episode much earlier in the podcast months and months ago, but I lost the page that I scribbled all my notes down on, and I'm sure I took a photo of it, but I can't find the file anywhere. So, this is the situation. Yeah, I also, I have to

accept responsibility. I was somewhat belligerent and overbearing in that episode of the podcast, and I might not have given you and the drinking rules the breathing room they needed to be made clear through the podcast. So I'll put my hand up and wear that one. That's fine.

You've done a noble thing in trying to recreate it, Tim, and I'm sure not only will I appreciate it, but any listener stupid enough to turn on Grand Ops 2 will also be very appreciative of what you're doing. In closing, the correct at is at Blaze Pizza, B-L-A-Z-E, or Z if you're in America, P-I-Z-Z-A, Blaze Pizza. Make sure you're at Blaze Pizza in all your tweets to us.

We'd love to get more of those selfies in. All the selfies we've received, they bring us so much joy. They make me so happy seeing you guys listening to podcasts out there because you come from different walks of life. Me and Guy, we grew up in New Zealand, but you guys are like in, you're in Chicago, you're in Nebraska, you're in the fucking Netherlands, bitch. You're in the United Kingdom. All right, Tim, you're getting a little bit adventurous

with your descriptions of where people are and the names you're calling those people. So I'd be very happy to sign off at this point and wish everyone a safe holiday season.
