Starting point is 00:00:00 🎵 Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle. Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle. Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle. Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:40 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.
Starting point is 00:01:01 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.
Starting point is 00:01:14 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:42 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.
Starting point is 00:01:55 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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
Starting point is 00:02:26 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
Starting point is 00:02:34 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
Starting point is 00:02:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:05 And we live streamed Without sound Just us So people could watch Just going mental Like sore I saw this pop up This morning
Starting point is 00:03:12 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
Starting point is 00:03:19 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
Starting point is 00:03:28 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
Starting point is 00:03:36 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
Starting point is 00:03:44 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.
Starting point is 00:03:57 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.
Starting point is 00:04:16 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
Starting point is 00:04:40 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:16 he's released like six covers as free downloads on his site so I downloaded Peter Dante singing Bob Marley's Redemption song
Starting point is 00:05:23 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?
Starting point is 00:05:37 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
Starting point is 00:05:46 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
Starting point is 00:05:53 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:17 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
Starting point is 00:06:35 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?
Starting point is 00:06:56 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
Starting point is 00:07:08 the squat robux instructor vomits after Nick squirts and hooks up with the dog and it's like
Starting point is 00:07:14 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
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:49 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
Starting point is 00:07:57 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:20 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
Starting point is 00:08:30 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
Starting point is 00:08:39 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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...
Starting point is 00:08:58 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
Starting point is 00:09:23 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 first line he tells Salma Hayek to open the window there's a deer in the house I don't quite know why
Starting point is 00:09:35 he thinks it's going to solve the problem he's like honey your mother is visiting from Mexico I
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:09:48 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.
Starting point is 00:10:04 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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
Starting point is 00:10:20 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
Starting point is 00:10:29 that would be too real bro imagine you see it jump and you're like oh my god thank god the deer's gone
Starting point is 00:10:34 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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
Starting point is 00:11:07 Becky my god Becky you need to see a therapist after that for years you need to trust your father again probably like
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:21 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
Starting point is 00:11:46 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
Starting point is 00:11:53 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
Starting point is 00:12:04 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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
Starting point is 00:12:29 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
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:12:43 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
Starting point is 00:12:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:58 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
Starting point is 00:13:04 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
Starting point is 00:13:28 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
Starting point is 00:13:39 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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
Starting point is 00:14:08 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
Starting point is 00:14:17 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
Starting point is 00:14:33 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.
Starting point is 00:15:10 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.
Starting point is 00:15:38 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
Starting point is 00:15:55 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:34 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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.
Starting point is 00:17:27 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
Starting point is 00:17:35 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
Starting point is 00:17:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:53 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,
Starting point is 00:18:07 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,
Starting point is 00:18:23 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,
Starting point is 00:18:40 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,
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:25 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
Starting point is 00:19:34 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
Starting point is 00:19:40 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
Starting point is 00:19:48 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
Starting point is 00:19:56 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
Starting point is 00:20:07 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
Starting point is 00:20:13 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
Starting point is 00:20:21 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?
Starting point is 00:20:29 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
Starting point is 00:20:36 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?
Starting point is 00:20:43 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.
Starting point is 00:20:55 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.
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:19 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,
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:54 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
Starting point is 00:22:13 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
Starting point is 00:22:30 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
Starting point is 00:22:40 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
Starting point is 00:22:56 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
Starting point is 00:23:10 all blacks and like fucking a shot of the skyline and bloody Batman driving his motorbike or something there's no wonder
Starting point is 00:23:17 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
Starting point is 00:23:24 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
Starting point is 00:23:31 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
Starting point is 00:23:40 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
Starting point is 00:23:48 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
Starting point is 00:24:05 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
Starting point is 00:24:39 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?
Starting point is 00:25:06 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.
Starting point is 00:25:23 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
Starting point is 00:26:04 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.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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
Starting point is 00:26:27 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.
Starting point is 00:26:35 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,
Starting point is 00:26:46 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.
