And then what was the one that was called the Mexican Hat Dance and Nokia's played it?
Or have we already done that one?
What was that one?
I couldn't tell you.
No, I can't remember it.
Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time.
Episode number 35.
Slightly unorthodox introduction for what was a very orthodox watch of the movie.
Just Tim and I, middle of the day, lounging about.
I'm in shorts, just swatting around.
You look good. I see that as soon as I opened the door and you were there.
And your beard is coming along nicely.
Thanks, Tim.
And I think we should address this right at the top.
Tim and I were just talking about it.
What we would love to see from you
is more selfies of wherever you're listening to the podcast.
Hard out, people.
We find it really interesting
to know that people are listening to this
while they go about their lives.
It blows our mind that anyone's listening at all,
to be honest.
There's a friend of one of my flatmates came in
and she listens to the podcast
completely independently of knowing him.
He didn't even put her onto it.
She just listens.
That's amazing.
It's even more amazing that there are people in America who listen to this. I love the fact that... She listens to the podcast completely independently of knowing him. He didn't even put her onto it. She just listens.
It's even more amazing that there are people in America who listen to this.
I love the fact that... There's a guy posted on the Facebook page saying,
I'm starting to think in a Kiwi accent because he's been listening to the podcast so much.
Oh, shit.
I love that.
That must be confusing.
We don't pop up enough content for that to happen, though.
Maybe we need to do a podcast every day.
Start cranking it.
Every day, mate.
I could watch it.
I'm in such a good mood right now.
I could watch this movie.
No, I'm not going to say anything stupid.
I could watch this movie another 15 times or whatever.
What, today?
No, just in general.
I have been thinking that for one of them we could do like a charity drive
where we lock ourselves into a room for 48 hours
and the movie's just on repeat.
So we can do other things.
No, we're in a room.
Just us.
No technology.
So it's on.
Yeah, no technology.
So it's actually, you know what would be funny?
If it was a bathroom.
You're coming back around to my idea for the bathtub special.
Two grown men in a lukewarm bath on a stage watching Grown Ups 2
this is a way more
nightmarish version of it
by the way
if this is the first episode
that you've come in
for some reason
this is a podcast
in which myself
and Guy Montgomery
I'm Tim Batt
I'm Guy Montgomery
we watch the movie
Grown Ups 2
once a week
every week
for a whole year
and we kind of
review it afterwards
is this episode 35
or 36
35 you sure no i'm really
not it's not important pretty sure what is time time is but a construct of man exactly and one
that i am fast losing my grip on absolutely uh so i mean it was just like it was just it was just
but imagine that imagine if we did it for 48 hours Like in a I don't want to imagine that
In a toilet
And we live streamed
Without sound
Just us
So people could watch
Just going mental
Like sore
I saw this pop up
This morning
A woman in China
Got dumped by her boyfriend
Yeah
And spent the whole weekend
In the cave
No it was a whole week
A whole week
It was seven days
She was just in the cave
Right
I mean we can't compete
With that
I love that bro
She is a girl
after my own heart
and it had a file
photo of her
and I hope it's her
not just some like
stock photo
they've got
because it was like
yup that's what I expected
sad woman in a cave suit
that is a sad looking
Asian
like mid 20s girl
in a cave fry
with her head down
in a position that
I've been in many times
in cave see
not for a week
but when you just
need to put your face against something cold
after you've just dominated a family bag.
This is another thing we discussed recently. I don't eat KFC at all.
Yeah, I find that
terrifying.
Come on, phone's off.
Sorry, it's a new phone.
Anyway, look Tim, we've been
dibbling around at the top of this thing.
Let's crack into some content.
Sorry, a little cough there.
How did you enjoy the movie?
I enjoyed it okay today,
and that's largely due to the fact that we've accidentally kind of missed.
I think it's been about 10 days instead of a week,
so apologies for that.
That is refreshing, though.
As a podcaster and a viewer,
that is a refreshing change to come in with fresh
eyes you know all it takes is a couple days more than the usual and suddenly you're um then you
go to the honey this is the high and then the low is the turnaround this time it's like um
it's a short week you know we took notes this time and i think we should um dive into them the
first is that you visited peter dante's website yesterday which i haven't i've been snooping
around peter dante's twitter for a while now he's a good kid it never occurred to me i can't
remember the name of the site it's something weird he's a good kid uh he retweets all this sort of
like he alternates between like retweeting buddhist proverbs and just heaps of shit about weed cool
and i went to his website and like it's a it's a it's a sight to behold man
he's got all these old sketches
I watched this old sketch
he did with Nick Swanson
called The Fowler
but I think what got me
most excited
was he's released
an album of music
which is available on iTunes
and then also
as an add-on
he's released like
six covers
as free downloads
on his site
so I downloaded
Peter Dante
singing Bob Marley's
Redemption song
and was just marching
around the house folding up my laundry yesterday downloaded Peter Dante singing Bob Marley's Redemption song and was just marching around the house
folding up my laundry yesterday
while Peter Dante's just going fucking bananas in the bedroom.
That's so good.
Yeah.
I mean, how is he as a singer?
How's his voice?
Oh, he's like just...
He's alright?
He's okay.
He's just like a dude singing.
But it's pretty amazing
because, I mean, we were talking...
We want to go to LA For the final episode
And we'd love to secure
Some sort of name value
From the movie
Yeah
I mean
I reckon Peter Dante
Is our best bet
He is
But the thing is
I feel like he's such a positive guy
And he's so into
His Buddhism
By the looks of things
Yeah
That he might look at our project
As maybe a touch mean-spirited
Although it's not mean-spirited
It's more experimental
It's like
I've often been worried
about that,
about this whole podcast thing.
The angle?
Kind of.
You think we're going to be
blacklisted from Hollywood?
No, no, no.
You're not going to be allowed
to be a walk-on extra
in a Happy Medicine production?
I don't really,
I don't much care about that.
But just the fact that
it is kind of a
slightly negative,
negative thing,
that's always been
in the back of my mind.
The thing is,
if you hold anything up to this level of scrutiny, if you did like any it doesn't matter what you'd
watch yeah if you if you did if you'd like someone came and watched you do stand-up comedy 52 times
in a row yeah just as a point of interest and did a podcast deconstructing it every time yeah
that's different isn't it because i mean just different. Because this thing doesn't change.
Yeah.
But it sucks for an indie guy.
I was actually getting angry at some of the characters today.
How so?
Well, like when Selma Hayek was like,
is this a present or something?
Oh, I didn't understand.
Yeah, and I was like,
it wasn't a present the last 34 times he brought it to you.
Why the fuck would it be a present the 35th?
I got mad
at
the party scene
when Kyle
the
squat robux
instructor
vomits
after Nick
squirts and hooks up
with the dog
and it's like
why am I getting mad
because it's in the movie
and the movie doesn't change
like me getting mad
at it doesn't change
and there's quite a
Buddhist lesson there
actually
which is like
oh what's that great
Christian proverb?
God give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change.
No, fuck, what is it?
It's like just God.
And the last one is, and the wisdom to know the difference.
But it's like basically.
But I forget what's in the middle.
Change the shit.
Forget the actual meaning.
No, no, I can't remember the wording.
So it's like change the shit you can Let go of the shit you can't
And hopefully you're smart enough
To figure out the difference
Between the two
I see
It's a good vibe
But I haven't clearly
Brought that onto heart
Because I keep getting pissed off
At Kyle vomiting
And you don't even know
The passage or proverb
That you're referencing
Well that too
But I understand the spirit of it
What else is on the notepad there?
There was a weird sound.
If it sounded like I was pissing,
I was just drinking water from a really big glass.
Very unprofessional.
You wouldn't catch me doing that.
Although we've both got little tickles in our throat,
so sorry about that.
Yeah.
Niggly wee tickles.
What's on the...
Keith switches position on bus.
Continuity.
It's a kind of boring continuity error,
but I did spot another continuity error
in relation to
Keithy on the bus
but this boils into
something cooler
so
the fantasy world
yes
so if
yeah if you watch it
the fantasy world
there's a bit
like there's a shot
where Keithy's on the
right side of the bus
and then when it goes
back to the shot
he's sitting on the left
and it's weird because
there's only one left
on the bus
we've talked about it we were talking about this yeah where he's you know this shot, he's sitting on the left. And it's weird because... There's only one left on the bus. We've talked about it before.
We were talking about this, yeah.
You know this stuff.
He's still on the bus when they get to school.
Obviously.
We're assuming that it was a deleted scene they shot.
Exactly.
We think something got cut.
But, so now, what?
I don't know if I...
No, I do reckon it.
Fuck it, I'm going with it.
Is that Keithy stays on the bus
and hides under one of the seats
and witnesses the murder of the seats and witnesses the
murder of nick swanson or the attempted murder of him watches the the grown-ups just mucking around
for a day and thinks to himself these are not good people yeah and one of them's his dad so like and
it's all his best friends so it's pretty scary um but i reckon keithy stays on the bus as they go
for their joyride i quite like that I mean
there were a
few we were
trying to create
a few alternate
realities for the
film the other
one was the
first line
he tells
Salma Hayek
to open the
window there's
a deer in the
house I don't
quite know why
he thinks it's
going to solve
the problem
he's like
honey your
mother is
visiting from
Mexico I
need you to
go and open
the window
so what if
Salma Hayek
gets up opens
the window and the deer just runs straight through the bedroom.
And that would be the ideal.
That would be the best.
I guess that's what he's going for.
Jumps out of the window
and breaks both of its front legs on the lawn.
And then the whole movie is just Adam Sandler and his family
dealing with this really fucked up deer,
which is still alive,
but presumably immobile and in a lot of pain.
Do you know what that Adam Sandler movie
would be called
what
My Dear Wife
and he has to marry
yeah
he falls in love
with a deer or something
he has to marry the deer
yeah cause he like
nurses it back to health
eventually
and like
plaster casts it
but honestly
dealing with a full grown
adult deer
this thing is enormous
dealing with that
with broken limbs
at the front of your yawn
in suburban Connecticut
would be a fucking
trip dude
that would be
too real bro
imagine
you see it jump
and you're like
oh my god
thank god
the deer's gone
out of the room
you hear the crack
you hear the deer's
like crying pain
you're like
oh shit
and you run downstairs
you're confronted
by the image
of a full grown
a majestic beast
here on god's green earth
just like wincing and screaming and it would go for so long You're confronted by the image of a full-grown, a majestic beast here on God's green earth,
just like wincing and screaming.
And it would go for so long.
It would be flapping its front body, but its legs are broken.
Because it wouldn't bleed out.
It wouldn't necessarily have any, like, lacerations, you know,
that would lead to arteries bleeding out or anything.
So it would just be there busted up.
Just the whole family.
Can you imagine how traumatic that would be
for the kids
or his daughter
Becky
my god Becky
you need to see
a therapist after that
for years
you need to trust
your father again
probably like
relationship issues
after that
well I mean
what could have been
really isn't it
that's the situation
we've walked into there
that'd be an interesting
interesting fucking
movie
and probably one that i prefer hey
there's one thing that we've like talked about a lot you and just you and i guide while the movies
and this happens a lot we talk about something while the movie's playing but then we kind of
forget to get to it in the podcast and for about 10 weeks now we've noticed that lamin soft claims
a victory which he does not oh yes of course so in the fictional TV show
within the movie
which is the soap opera
no it is actually
Days of Our Lives
they got the naming rights
to Days of Our Lives
but it's not the actual actors
obviously
because it's Chris Berman
a sportscaster for ESPN
go you Broncos
go Broncos
and in it
I got Demarius Thomas
on my fantasy team
he's bloody blitzing it mate
he pulled in two touchdowns
the last two games.
He is single-handedly dragging me back into playoff contention.
See, this is why we've got such a big American audience.
You're following the NFL.
You're such a big fan of lacrosse.
We'll get to that.
We've got so much to talk about.
Calm down.
Ball of energy.
In the movie, Eric Lemensov, we're introduced to him, I think.
The first sequence we see of him is with his mum
he's just exiting
and she says
are you going to
come back and watch
Days of Our Lives
later on
he said of course
we have to find out
which twin
murdered Ronaldo
and then he goes
back to the house
and we see a snippet
from Days of Our Lives
he's watching it
with his mother
and Ronaldo
walks into the room
and the nurses say
it couldn't be
we killed you
and he goes
do you honestly think
two amateurish nipwits
could kill the great
Ronaldo
and then Kevin James says
I told you so
I called it
he says I called it
come on Tim
you gotta learn
these lines mate
no
she says that
he says I told you so
you did you called it
oh god
he says I told you so
you called me
yeah I did
anyway
but that's not what he called at all
it isn't
he clearly thought that
one of the
twins had murdered and ronaldo was dead unless unless at some point in his action-packed morning
between joyriding on the bus and going to came out he called his mum and he'd come up with a
theory he'd been ruminating on it that's intense and he said mum um i don't think ronaldo got
murdered i think the the twins conspired to try and kill him but he he evaded death somehow and
there's he's doing a lot of stuff.
And he'll re-emerge in this episode.
And there was even a deleted scene
that takes up even more time
of him buying a frozen pretzel
when his inn came out,
which is actually kind of a funny scene.
I thought it was funny.
No, but the thing is,
I think with the deleted scenes
is that we watched them
and they were a breath of fresh air
from the stale meal
that we're getting served up week after week.
I'm just going to whack my shining light in right now.
You do it.
You ready for it?
It's Stone Cold Steve Austin portraying Tommy Kavanagh, our antagonist to the film star
Adam Sandler.
If you could call any of the characters an antagonist.
Taylor Lawton is an antagonist.
Yeah, he is.
But yeah, so is Kavanagh.
I wonder if there's like
A relationship between them two
Anywho
It's
My shining light is simply
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Saying the words
Sack of potatoes
Sack of potatoes
Yeah
What does he say
You like
You land me one on the chin
I'll go down like a sack of potatoes
I'll go down like a sack of potatoes
Southern drawl
Oh man
Actually his Texan eh
His Texas accent is so good when he says
sack of potatoes it's so awesome i fucking love it you do have you got a shining light this week
guy i was just trying to think of one i know i came up with one during the film but it's completely
evaded me since we can come back to it i did enjoy from memory i did really enjoy i think
i've said it before when they're on the at the quarry on the clifftop um and they're doing the smack talk like it's taylor lawton's crew versus adam
sandler's crew and david spade that doesn't insult and then he turns to them and he goes
waggles his tongue inside his mouth and he's like doing his little jazz fingers i thought that was
pretty funny yeah that's a little ad lib from david spade which is funny because that ad lib
from david spade is really similar to the bus driver one from Adam Sandler.
But Sandler's one we detest for its laziness.
So are we really double standardising the boys, the lads, the gents?
Adam Sandler doesn't make a noise and it's also the focal point of the shot.
David Spade's is an Easter egg that he's tucked in there.
That's true.
This brings me to an interesting point because for about the last dozen watches or so,
I've experienced this weird thing with the movie now where I physically can't pay attention to what's in focus.
Yes, you've told me about this.
And I can only look at the background now, so like extras or set.
There's a lot to see.
Whatever.
And I don't really have anything to extrapolate on that,
but it's just an interesting phenomenon
that if you watch a movie enough times
and I assume this is probably the same
if you study a great piece of art for long enough
you actually can't draw your eye to what's in focus anymore
you're always so attracted by trying to find a new element
Well I don't think you're attracted to find a new element
I think it's pure escapism
plain and simple
I think you're just trying to somehow climb through the action of the movie
and into another world in which maybe you're following different characters.
And this is why we've been speculating all morning.
I've got such a terrible attention span.
It's probably some sort of neurological survival mechanism for me.
It's amazing what the mind does
when you put it under pressure and duress.
The mind is amazing, isn't it?
Like the brain will always try and look out
for its best interest.
It's not always the best at doing it.
That's the thing.
I was having a discussion with someone recently
about adrenaline.
And when, you know, when you're in a sort of a,
you get on stage as well sometimes
when you're in like a do or die moment
and you have to act very quickly.
Yeah.
And you feel like time slows down. You have that sort of feeling of like suddenly everything and you see in clear
focus yeah that's not your brain moving quicker that's your brain shutting down like every
unnecessary extra bit that you're concerned with so like that's your brain literally just limiting
your capacity to think to specifically that one thing that's confronting
you in that moment that is awesome i'm living with two doctors at the moment so i'm learning
a lot about like the different parts of the brain like the reptilian brain and how that
fucking does i can imagine that shit would be sending you spinning in circles i love it i love
okay look back to the. It's time for Paddy Schwartz party time.
It's Paddy Schwartz party time.
It's party time
with Paddy Schwartz.
Now Patrick Schwarzenegger
does something very
funny in the movie
today.
I assume he's been
doing it in the rest
of the movies.
Not all the movies
he's been in.
I'm confident.
He's another guy
who I've actually
been sniffing around
Paddy Schwartz
on Twitter.
I even chucked him
a retweet the other
day. Just trying to raise some awareness with Paddy Schwartz on Twitter. I even chucked him a retweet the other day.
Just trying to raise some awareness with Paddy Schwartz.
Imagine if we sat down and watched a movie with Paddy Schwartz, man.
Fuck.
He's another guy.
Now, he's a Christian guy.
So he's another guy who I think might look at this as being a mean-spirited project.
I'd say so.
It wouldn't surprise me if Arnie was a Christian.
He's quite a prominent figure in Republican politics, Arnie.
So it works.
It'll go hand in hand.
Yeah. Anyway, so... Wait a minute aren't he? So it works. We'll go hand in hand. Yeah. Anyway,
Wait a minute. Is he a Democrat?
Maria Shriver was in the Kennedys. Nah, he must be a Democrat. What am I talking
about? Fuck, I'm going to Google that
later. Oh God, it's going to be an exciting
afternoon in the world of Timbatt.
Patrick Schwarzenegger cocks an eyebrow
in one of the scenes.
And I believe the reason he did it,
because it's not really in place.
There's no place for him to cock an eyebrow.
It's just because when he applied for the job,
and don't get this twisted,
he took his CV in and applied for the job.
Underneath the heading, acting skills,
one of them said, can raise eyebrow on demand.
And now the director,
there was no call for this movement while shooting,
but Patrick Schwarzenegger thought,
look, I got hired for this job,
not on my name,
but on the back of my fully sick acting CV,
and I'll be damned if I'm not going to squeeze
every single skill I have into this film.
And accordingly, he cocked his eyebrow,
and that is how Paddy Schwartz parties.
Good on you, Guy.
I like that reading of his personality
because he still strikes me as a guy who is trying
really hard and they're my favorite people people who aren't necessarily the most talented but
they're fucking hard workers you know yeah you gotta respect a hard worker when i was younger i
always thought um you know you it takes sometimes for me it took a while i was always quite lazy
because i was naturally like okay enough at things to just get by without actually really
putting in the effort
and I always thought
that eventually
if you just do that
good things will arrive
well if you try
or if you just
like it's just
you know
opportunity will fall
into your lap
and I'd look at
that's terrible
I know
the universe has reinforced
the worst elements
of your white privilege
no no no
well this is the thing
is it took
I got a handle on it
because you're absolutely right.
But then I was like,
nothing was happening
and I was like,
oh, you've got to try all the time
and then it flicked a switch
and suddenly,
when I used to look at people
who tried hard,
I'd be like,
you should try less hard
and we should hang out.
I was like,
oh, you've got to try hard at everything.
A little life lesson with Guy Montgomery.
I dig that.
You've got gotta try hard
Conan O'Brien
Does some good
He said a good thing about it
About trying hard
When he got booted off
The J-Leno
The Tonight Show
With J-Leno
Yeah
It's like
Work hard
Or maybe it was a
Bloody graduation speech
At Stanford or something
Work hard
Be kind to people
And amazing things will happen
That's what Conan O'Brien says
Did he in that speech
Have a bit about
How he talked about
Like be nice to people
because you never know
who you'll end up working for
or who will be your boss?
Was that?
He did like,
it was insane.
I think it was,
it was a commencement speech
because he did a big,
he just rattled off
a shit ton of jokes
and then just flipped it
at the end
and was like,
boom,
and some truth.
Yeah,
I remember being in one of those,
what are those hats called?
The graduation caps?
Hats.
With the square boards?
The hats. They've got a name.ats. With the square boards? The hat.
They've got a name.
University hat.
It's definitely got a name.
Don't forget your university hat.
You're graduating today.
Speaking of university, lacrosse.
We've never really talked about this, but the college kids.
They show up to the.
They show up.
And actually in the car as well, one of them's carrying a lacrosse. What's the terminology for it?
A racket?
Yeah, I'd call it a stick.
Stick.
I mean, I don't know the proper terminology.
But you would...
You'd do some damage in a fight
with a lacrosse stick, by the way.
I don't know how they weren't using those more.
I mean, it was an all-in-all,
an out-and-out fight.
We had an exchange student
when I went to high school in Wellington
who was from America.
And he kind of brought a bit of lacrosse in,
and so we got nets and shit with sticks,
or whatever they're called,
and we played a little bit.
But just like,
I think we start off with tennis balls,
because if you use the full ball,
and you fuck up,
that shit will hurt.
It's quite an amazing game.
It's a hard ball, is it?
Yeah, I think so.
It's kind of like a,
I think you use a similar one to like a field hockey.
You know how... Oh, that is hard.
Yeah.
It's plastic, but it's super hard.
That seems insane.
Yeah, but you've got to get distance.
That's the thing.
If it was any softer, it wouldn't have the weight to carry it.
It's a fully sick sport.
It looks pretty cool.
I've seen it on ESPN.
They play it in college and they broadcast the games.
I don't know why it doesn't translate to a professional sport.
Because it is like...
It's ruthless, bro.
You're running around. And it's highly skilled. you're running around with the stick and this ball just fucking
throwing and catching and just clearing dudes out i think it's it's real massive in certain circles
but i think it's got the stigma of being associated with real rich white is it yeah
a collegiate sport yeah very much so which is which strangely is how rugby is treated in England
because here in New Zealand
we
it's like everyone's sport
it's very
it's everyone's sport
yeah yeah
and in England
rugby sure is popular
here in New Zealand
we do love it
no one else loves rugby bro
just us
no one
no one else loves it like us
South Africa might
I haven't been
no
they love
they love rugby
don't get it like they sell
out Alice Park when the spring box oh that's true actually they do love rugby but like Australians
Australians it's about number four or five England it'll be about four America it doesn't even
America although we're going to all blacks are playing a game in Chicago and I watched the
like trailer video for it fuck Americans ramp up sports to a million like it's
they put in
just these insane
like movie and television
production values
to the matchups
like eagles
all blacks
and like fucking
a shot of the skyline
and bloody
Batman driving
his motorbike
or something
there's no wonder
their whole country's
ADD
they've just got so much
like production
everywhere
for everything
everything is highly produced
that's why I'm gonna move there
you notice it bleeding
into sports coverage
in Australia and New Zealand
as well.
Oh, yeah.
Because all the build-up,
all the hype,
the pomp and ceremony
around sports games
is just getting out of hand.
Nah, I'm into it, man.
It's bigger than the game.
But...
Should this have been
a rambling podcast?
It's good to have
one of those every now and then.
We've covered a lot of ground.
Yeah.
It's been a real
change of pace, I think.
Oh, yeah yeah Fun fact
I don't know if this is true
I'm pretty sure it's true
I think America still holds the
Like the most recent rugby Olympic championship
They last did it in like very early 1900s
1930 or some shit
No way
And then they never did it again
No way the All Blacks would have lost back then
I will look
at that no don't look it up it's not interesting no no we gotta round this out we gotta do the
steve buscemi mystery oh the steve buscemi mystery tour is coming to take you away coming to take you
away take you take you away uh do you want it or do i want it i I haven't come up with one, but I'm happy to.
Yeah, fuck, I haven't either, actually, to be honest.
Okay, so the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour is the segment of the movie
in which we explore what injury could have possibly caused the symptoms
described by Steve Buscemi or Wiley in Grown Ups 2.
The facts we are given is he only has 40% feeling in his body
and his arms have been in the touchdown position for two years.
and his arms have been in the touchdown position for two years.
I think what happened is Steve Buscemi was riding a penny farthing,
which is one of those silly old bicycles with the big front wheel and the little back wheel,
which is one of my favorite parts of Jackass.
I think Ryan Dunn's like, who designed this bike?
And it's so true.
Who the fuck designed a penny farthing and got it across the line?
It is insane.
Do you see how high they are?
Like, just make a bike with fucking two of the same size wheels, bro.
It's easy.
Is it something to do with, like, the cogs and things?
Like, the amount of workload and the physics and stuff that's going on to do with the fact that one wheel is big and one's little?
So it produces...
You might be right.
But, I mean, it just seems like... Well, there's no new thing in a regular bike though no i just do not see how
someone didn't look at that and go you need to make that front wheel smaller and that back wheel
bigger and it'll be perfect anyway so steve bashim was showing off to chris rock and the gang on his
penny farthing uh riding it around and adam sandler was probably like this is
ridiculous he's probably having the exact same conversation we just had uh and then chris rock
goes hey watch this and he picks up a stick and he runs across and he puts the stick into the spokes
of the front tire wow and steve basheemi goes tumbling over the handlebars and lands with his
arms and that explains the arms above the head he lands with his arms above his head because he's
flailing,
because we all know they're bad jumpers from the quarry.
Yeah.
And I guess that's how it happened.
A penny farthing.
A penny farthing accident.
Classic.
Reeks of sandler.
Do you want to elaborate
onto why Wiley was on a penny farthing
in the first place at all?
Because he left after high school.
He used to get bullied by them, but after high school, he left and joined the circus, so he picked up a left after high school. He used to get bullied by them
but after high school
he left and joined the circus
so he picked up
a lot of circus skills.
He would too.
And now whenever he sees them
he wants to show off
he wanted to show off
his circus skills.
He's got the look of a carny
especially in this film.
I was six years off
but otherwise correct.
It was 1924
when the last
Summer Olympics
that the rugby union was in.
Doesn't say.
Oh, it does,
but I'm not looking it up again.
But the US won gold
and it's never been there again.
Have we covered all of our segments?
Yeah, man.
We've got the shining lights,
the Patty Schwartz party time,
the Steve Buscemi mystery tour.

the opportunity, importance,
and our love

little selfie of yourself listening to the podcast just because i'm bored man i want to see your
pretty faces i'm just curious about where and when people are like people might be doing this when
they're going grocery shopping yeah i mean if you can't be bothered do you think anyone's ever made
love to the dulcet sound of the worst idea of all time that's something matt used to say all the
time he said uh matt who i used to say all the time. He said,
Matt, who I used to produce for on a radio show the last couple of years,
he was like,
he would always say,
it'd be like good afternoon
wherever you're listening
if you're making love to the partner of your choice.
That's so good.
I really hope that someone has had sex.
That's more likely
because you'd have the radio on in the background.
Or you could have this on in the background
and someone comes in. If you have had sex while listening to the because you have the radio on in the background you could have this on in the background if you have had sex
while listening to the podcast

so far as to say
