Starting point is 00:02:22 your it's the only one in that computer video is the only thing file you have on your computer. It's the only thing that could be looped. Welcome back to the worst idea of all time. I'm presuming this isn't your first trip at the merry-go-round. This is a podcast in which my friend Guy Montgomery and I, Tim Batt, have taken the liberty of not allowing you to fuck up your own intro like the last couple episodes, Guy. We watch the film Sex and the... And I'm Guy Montgomery.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Ah, you got me. Sex and the City 2. We're going to watch it 52 times. It is a real pleasure to be here, Tim. Very excited about that prospect. And we just finished- The 33rd. Yeah, 33rd watch, which makes this episode 34.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I'm going to crack it one of these days. It'll be so good. What a feeling it will be That was not a good one Tim We went fully nuts during the viewing of that I'm not afraid to say We really flipped the switch Yeah there's a lot of moving around
Starting point is 00:03:15 A lot of noises being made A lot of jam sessions Yeah a lot of jam sessions I've put in bongo drums I've taken the liberty of putting some bongo drums in the studio There were monkey noises I've put in bongo drums. I've taken the liberty of putting some bongo drums in the studio. There were monkey noises? You've got neighbours with young children that you're always very wary of.
Starting point is 00:03:32 You never let me make my monkey noises at full tilt. Well, I let you make them before three o'clock because I know they can't be home from school then. But after three? Yeah. It was too late. Trying to inject a bit of mystery in their lives. What? Hey, mum, mom dad do the neighbors
Starting point is 00:03:45 have monkeys yeah but you sound terrifying like the kind of monkey that would rip your face off do you remember a couple years ago there was that woman who had a um it wasn't in a ring i think it was a chimp and it probably ripped your face off and she had constructive surgery and now she looks pretty cool and everyone's like fuck constructive surgery is awesome and we are very good at it now i know i missed this ringing any bells i missed that whole story i think the headline was we are fucking awesome at plastic surgery now and reconstructive surgery yeah it's nice when the newspapers let's just ask humans giving humans a bit of a pat on the back and saying you know what it's way better than chimpanzee defaces woman dot dot dot literally that's a pretty uh brutal headline it is but that's what they go with man
Starting point is 00:04:31 they don't go for the they gotta sell silver lining you gotta sell papers well i'm just glad that we're at a point in our history with technology and medicine and science and as a society to provide resources to the experts who can conduct it that if any of us are in the vulnerable position of being attacked by a wild chimpanzee and having our faces ripped off there are people ready on hand to help do you now imagine that if you were to be attacked by chimpanzee an airy calm might come over you in the moments before the attack no i feel like that fight or flight instinct's still going to kick in if I'm going toe-to-toe with a chimpanzee. I'm going to call him Jimbo.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Presumably, I can't imagine a circumstance in which a human doesn't start the fight with the chimpanzee. I'm always going to be like, the chimpanzee is in the right here. No, because chimpanzees... It's either because we've taken them somewhere and we've put them somewhere where they think we've moved them somewhere and that's where you live now. And, you know, we've moved them somewhere and like, that's where you live now. And if you go in there, eventually one of them's going to be like, I don't like living here. Or the other circumstance is like you're in their environment and you accidentally, you know, startle one of them and they wig out and go for you.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Option three, Guy Montgomery. We all share this beautiful planet. So let's not pretend just because one of us is putting the other one in a cage that we're putting them somewhere they don't belong, okay? We're all on planet Earth. I am absolutely not on board. Secondly, those dirty monkeys, if you look them in the eye, will freak out to the point where there are signs all around any good zoo
Starting point is 00:06:01 where kids go that say do not stare at the baboons. Exactly. So if the baboons attack you at the zoo, that's because you've made eye contact with them because you're an idiot. If I have to be that sensitive that I've got to avoid eye contact with a baboon just to not get attacked, then what kind of society are we living in?
Starting point is 00:06:18 You know what I mean? I'm all for equal rights, but I feel like we're bending over backwards if we can't make eye contact with a baboon without ceding our right to not have our face ripped off you know that's what i'm all about so welcome along to the worst idea of all time uh tim what did you make of sex in the city too this week oh i didn't like it at all oh i didn't like it at all we were saying at the start that uh because you know mixing it up is the best thing so going to los angeles was a big mix-up
Starting point is 00:06:52 and that kind of hit the reset button a little bit we're watching the movie in different circumstances like a beautiful sofa towel hotel lobby uh in la that's different you know people milling around there was a different watching experience but now we're back on home turf and this is the second one since we've been back i feel like um all of our community chess cards have been played and now we're just back to the grind of being stuck in prison and not rolling doubles yeah we're just playing out a game of monopoly that we can't possibly win yeah yep not a good feeling what about you um yeah i mean i was i was pretty startled at how um restless and sort of itchy we both were very early on it's not a physical itch that's more more of a, well, you know, it's, I'm not saying we don't have rashes.
Starting point is 00:07:48 You know, like an itch. Not like a, not eczema or nothing. Like, you know, like we were restless. Itchy. You know, like an itch. I don't know why I'm nodding on a podcast. In space, no one can hear you scream. Yeah, but what I'm saying is no one can see
Starting point is 00:08:05 you nod we were walking around pacing making noises singing a lot of stretching sometimes i forget that you're such a limber lad but you really had you had limbs all over the shop we were doing everything to avoid actually uh interfacing or you know watching the movie and yeah i mean i i agree with everything you said it feels like we've come back from a trip abroad and we're really back to work now just to describe the surrounds and this will probably be where we watch the the movie going forward um so it's like a shed sort of uh four white walls sorry three white walls a light blue concrete floor, very low ceiling. I call the measurements 7 feet by 11, 10, 12.
Starting point is 00:08:52 12 feet? 7 by 12 room? And it's got one wall instead of having a wall has glass panels and some glass doors. And so we're in a bit of a fish tank situation where everyone can look in on us. Yet no one is. Oh, it's a private residence I should say as well. It's not like we're not just we bought an office to watch
Starting point is 00:09:12 the movie in in town. So if you want to come see us. We're renting a container. Shortland Street I feel like we should at least make some sort of effort to discuss the happenings within the film. Oh, yeah. May I ask you, Tim? Mate, I've been trying to this whole time.
Starting point is 00:09:27 What is your shining light for this week? So it's a two-way tie, which never happens because, I mean, some weeks I struggle to find one thing I like about the film. But this week I found two. I'm going to say two because one of them we were trying to figure out if I've done before, but I don't think I have. And even if I have, I don't mind because I've got a backup. Here's the first one. There is a musical refrain that plays in the film when Big and Carrie's storyline is kind of playing out in front of the camera.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And it's quite simplistic. A little piano roll. And it's kind of a major key. It's very hopeful. I know the music you are describing. Yeah, but you've seen it a lot of times. I'm kind of using you as the audience surrogate right now. Do the refrain.
Starting point is 00:10:17 No, I'd rather not. Okay. I'd rather not. And there's also some strings in there as well. Violins, I think. well like violins i think i think violins maybe a cello sounds like it's got a bit of bottom end on there and it's just nice that they've like in a musical you have that where you have like characters have sort of their themes and the song always has those refrains in the song when it goes to there but even if it's
Starting point is 00:10:40 you know within the song which is a different style or whatever. It's cool. So that's what they play with in Sex and the City 2. And at the end, they really fucking mess with it when Carrie's freaking out because she's kissed Aiden and they chuck a minor chord in there to resolve on, or not resolve as the case may be. And it leaves you with a lot of tension and an awkward feeling.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I am glad it cut through this week tim against all odds and really struck a chord with you uh i don't want to burn the second one because that feels new now that i've said it and i need to hold on to all the life rafts but as we continue through this choppy journey yeah well you're so about, you're certainly going better than I am. My showing light is Miranda. Go on. Just Miranda's laugh, you know, in general. When does she laugh in the film?
Starting point is 00:11:39 She's always laughing. Just pick one of them, I guess. Yeah, obviously. When they're on the camels, she's on the just pick one of them like yeah yeah yeah obviously uh when they're on the camels they're she's on the camels with uh charlotte and uh her phone starts ringing and shang is very excited because it's harry calling her and carrie throws in the absolute zinger burger of who's her long distance provider and this just cuts miranda up like you wouldn't believe and she does a distinct miranda laugh and i just i I really lapped it up this week. Is there any chance of you emulating it on my phone?
Starting point is 00:12:10 No, I'd rather not. Okay, fair enough. That's fine. That's fine. Don't feel any pressure to it. It's up to you. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:12:19 So, what a film, eh? Yeah, what a... How many minutes is it again? It's 2 hours and 20 what? Six. So, 2 hours and 120... 146 minutes. No.
Starting point is 00:12:33 166. Yep, and that. No. Yeah. No, 46. No. No, it is 46. It's 46.
Starting point is 00:12:43 We definitely should be better at that. You got it right the first time, and then I threw a seed of doubt into your brain. Don't make us do maths. Don't worry, I'm strictly arithmetic. It makes me feel vulnerable. Yeah, I hear that. What's pi? 3.14, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah, you got it. No one needs to know that stuff no there are buttons on machines which have the exact value of that yeah it's just there for you so don't get that if you got it in there free that information it's like a bird it's crazy now that because previously everyone was like why would i bother learning anything in school i just type in a bloody search engine question into google and uh it'll give me the answer now you don't even have to type it you just talk into your phone you're like siri the fuck is this thing and then siri will tell you it's like having a friend with you who knows everything yeah and eventually it will be so he will be a friend but without any of the benefits
Starting point is 00:13:40 of being a friend like you know but none of the human with empathy none of the benefits of being a friend. Like, you know, being a human with empathy. None of the drawbacks of a friend either. What are the drawbacks of having a friend? Time. You don't have to pester your friends for boring facts. You just go to Siri. I see. But we're getting way off track, just relentlessly. We are. Boy, are we.
Starting point is 00:14:01 We cannot actually. This is phenomenal. This is exactly the same experience as we had just watching the movie. We can try. Literally actually, this is phenomenal. This is exactly the exact experience we had just watching the movie where we cannot, we're literally, it's like there's a force field between us,
Starting point is 00:14:10 which is blocking either of us accessing Sex and the City 2 as a talking point. I noticed another extra today at the wedding scene, which I was very excited
Starting point is 00:14:18 about. You did, you did. I think it's because I turned the screen brightness up a little bit and there's people in the back there who
Starting point is 00:14:22 aren't very well lit. So he bloody flicked up. Good looking dude. Love what he was doing with the place to be honest it's awesome and pink jacket i saw try to start an applause break uh which i am very confident was that extras decision on the shot when liza minnelli is doing the whole brooms gag. Yeah, it's when one of the guys is getting married. Not the Italian guy. Not Anthony. Yeah, the other one.
Starting point is 00:14:52 He's got a last name for it, Stanford. Stanford, yeah. Yeah, after he says bride, groom, broom, and the whole crowd starts tearing up. And Liza's like, oh, that's marvelous, which it isn't, and we've discussed before. And your old mate, Pink Jacket, sort of puts his hands up by his face
Starting point is 00:15:10 so that they're visible to camera. He's always finding his bloody light, isn't he? And he starts lightly applauding, and it does not take. Pink Jacket is everywhere, bro. He is. It would be kind of cool if they, like Seinfeld, hides a Superman doll in every episode. If Pink Jacket's actually been in every season.
Starting point is 00:15:29 In the background of every frame. No, not every frame. It's a very big challenge for a DOP. Look closer, man. No, what if he's actually in... He doesn't look old. Probably be five when he started, but... Oh, maybe not five.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I'm exaggerating. Maybe 15 when he started, when... Oh, maybe not five. I'm exaggerating. Maybe 15 when he started, when the show started, but he's in every episode of Sex and the City. Imagine that. Well, you know what? I'll probably never find out. Now, one thing that struck me about the film this time, Guy, is the fact that it's called Sex and the City 2
Starting point is 00:15:59 and it doesn't have the subtitle. Like, Sex and the City 2, the gals go to Abu Dhabi. There's no tagline, you mean yeah like matrix 2 reloaded although i think it was just called matrix reloaded but you get the gist yeah i don't think that's a real phenomenon i think it's pretty common for a sequel to have no tagline if the franchise is big enough to be like no no i'm okay but hold on here are the parameters it's going to be a franchise a franchise right so it's going to exist and i don't just mean there being a first movie i mean like a tv series or something but what why are you putting all these wacky parameters on it i feel like those are the ones that should have a subtitle and sex in the city
Starting point is 00:16:40 2 falls into that because they had like a billion seasons of its HBO show. So it should be Sex and the City 2 get carried away. Like I know they used that as the advertising. Just name the movie that. Or something better, obviously. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It should be on there. That's what I'm
Starting point is 00:16:59 saying. Yeah, they really missed a trick there. It's not that they missed a trick, it's just I feel like they're not following convention. me another franchise it's an unconventional movie who does that uh i think star trek is a tv series so all the movies the sequels to the first one had i don't know i don't know anything about star trek but just know that just know that as a reference point to prove your that backs up your argument. Are there any Scooby-Doo movies that got made that are not reboots,
Starting point is 00:17:30 but a sequel to something? I'll bet they've all got subtitles. You tried to drag me down this rabbit hole while we were watching the movie, and you're doing it again. I'm prepared to try it again. I conceded Ghostbusters 2, because I think they rushed the animated series
Starting point is 00:17:47 Maybe out after the first movie But I could have that wrong as well I don't know Which I would consider a franchise That's all But Ghostbusters 2 doesn't have a subtitle Idle speculation Yeah it is. Where's he going?
Starting point is 00:18:44 Why is he scared? Those are the questions we're faced with week after week, trying to dissect every frame of footage on this Java-loving man. I thought there was extra frames this time, so we had a look in slow motion at one part a second go around, and it turns out Guy was right the whole time. It wasn't Coffee Guy. It was a guy who's outside the cafe during the establishing shot
Starting point is 00:19:07 who just looks an awful lot like him. That is right. Maybe a sibling keeping an eye on his deranged Java-addicted brother. Maybe not. It was very difficult to tell. All I know is I have been watching this guy like a hawk. What have you noticed? Have you noticed anything strange about his behavior or his patterns recently?
Starting point is 00:19:24 I have. When he drinks with his left hand, when he drinks his water or picks stuff up with his left hand, he doesn't bend his elbow at all. It's at a perfect right angle the whole time. Because he is so in love with math. He loves math.
Starting point is 00:19:39 He's actually had two he's had his arms extended. He's had two two, he's had his arms extended, he's had two meter-long wooden rulers. Not the one with an elbow hinge, which would actually function like an elbow, just two full-length, separate, wooden, meter-long rulers attached, one for his forearm, one for his bicep arm, whatever you call it. And I mean, he honestly stands out like a sore thumb. Like a big four-meter wingspan sore thumb.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Wouldn't it be? Yeah, that's math for you. He loves that. Oh, baby, does he love addition. Four meters. You said two one-meter rulers, so if you stick it out that way, that's two, and then you've got two arms, so that's four. Four-meter wingspan.
Starting point is 00:20:22 His right arm is fine. What a caveat. What a hole you've dropped me in. I really admire that guy. I admire your ability to fuck me up very on the fly. Didn't even consider that was a possibility. And I heard you say left. I heard it.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I mean, if you look closely like that, I watch this guy like a hawk, like a bird of prey. It just wouldn't occur to me that a friend of mine would be such a fucking shithead to drop me in it like that. That's the thing that threw me. Really didn't expect that. I would argue, I would rebut. I didn't know you had it in you. I thought you were a better man.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I specifically said left arm to denote that the other arm would be fine. It was a massive dick move, Brian. It was absolutely telegraphed. Terrible. You missed a trick there. You're as bad as the title makers for Sex and the City 2. Well, we can all agree on that. Anyway, so he's got this arm.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Oh, yeah, right. The rulers, yep. Yeah. And that was the main thing I noticed. And I was sort of looking and I was wondering, why would this man have such an extender arm for no apparent reason? And you notice his right arm's got this relentless sort of motor. Like it's tap, tap, tapping away, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:32 and he's feeding himself coffee. It's because he's trying to blend in. And he's doing math all the time in his brain, and that needs caffeine. Ever heard of the Nash equilibrium? Do you know how Russell Crowe came up with it? By drinking tons of coffee and not going to sleep for 56 hours. And thems be the facts. Look it up, folks.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Game theory. We owe a lot to coffee and Russell Crowe. Look it up, folks. Game, set, and match. Guy, there's a big old, dusty old, dusty old, big old leather bound book I can see. Big old dusty old. Big old dusty old book on the shelf. Big dusty.
Starting point is 00:22:14 The big dusty, she's bananas. Not because of why you'd think, but actually because the book has hair like Dusty Springfield. That's right. The book is actually covered in the hair. I feel like Dusty Springfield. That's right. The book is actually covered in the hair. I feel like Dusty Springfield's not a name. Is it? Yeah. I should never have second-guessed myself.
Starting point is 00:22:32 As you were. Listen to your heart. When he's calling for you, listen to your heart. There's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going. And I don't know why. Listen to your heart. Before you tell him.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Jesus, that was beautiful, man. Bone-jangling stuff. I dropped the little thing I was playing with. I think that was Dusty Springfield's most famous song. So anyway, the book's covered in Dusty Springfield's. Surely, son of the preacher man. It's even most famous. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:23:24 It was the techno hit listen to your heart surely not surely that can't be right and those are the facts so as you were saying oh well it's pretty much the book's covered in here god knows why oh yeah but look let's so what i'm saying is we bust it open we bust bust open Dusty. And what's inside it but Mr. Big's big book of ideas. Indeed. Indeed. And within the book we find a book. Choose your own adventure book.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yes, it is. So we turn to page one as all good boys and girls should. And the first page reads thusly. Dear reader, welcome and congratulations, for you have stumbled upon an incredible journey waiting to unfold before your eyes. Whilst this may look like a typical young adult's novel, what this in fact is, is a treasure map. In this choose-your-own-adventure book,
Starting point is 00:24:21 you will be literally determining whether you are brave enough and smart enough to find treasure we have hidden 300 possible endings in the book we have run the numbers it is so statistically unlikely that someone would thumb through the whole book or accidentally randomly pick the correct path which leads them to the real treasure map, that we feel very confident in publishing millions of copies of this softback, because we're smart with money, to find the smartest people to distribute wealth to. That's what this is all about, finding adventurous, intelligent children to bequeath gold and jewels to. And all the young boys and girls went running to their parents and said,
Starting point is 00:25:10 Mama, Papa, look at this book I have found. Surely you must let me go on this quest to find the treasure. I must prove to be the smartest child in all of the land. Why no, Charlie, you're going to be a banker like your father. Oh, but Papa, no. You must listen to me. The book, it promises all the wealth in the world. I'll be as good as 10,000 bankers to you. Good as 10,000 bankers?
Starting point is 00:25:31 What a preposterous thing to say. We bankers rule the world, Charlie. Oh, Father, no, you don't understand. I must go. Not if I get you first, Charlie. I'm taking off my belt. Oh, you've left. Yeah yeah and so a lot of children ran away from home uh specifically a lot of Charlie ran away he's just one kid but there's
Starting point is 00:25:54 a lot of them he's fat that's what I'm saying he's a big why why are you bringing that up because we didn't need to put that didn't need to be in the story. Because he's an adventurer. He's not letting things like the fact that he's eight or a bit chubby get in the way of going for a massive adventurous run. And you do have to respect that about him. God, yeah. An eight-year-old boy. He's getting his way is all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Anyway, as promised, of course, the book, it's very difficult to solve and it's very difficult to find the treasure. this is a big of course is trying to recruit the best of the best uh but what winds up happening is young charlie who's obviously the hero of this story uh stumbles into an alternative ending like a booby prize sort of ending uh and what he finds is a street vendor where Mr. Big is hawking rat mignon. There's been a huge upsurge in the number of rats walking the streets of New York, and he's seen a business opportunity, so he brings himself out as pest control, and then he fillets the rats, and he minces them and makes them mignon, and he puts a rat egg on top.
Starting point is 00:27:00 What is mignon? I think it's just raw beef or raw meat. You can't do it with chicken. Oh, it's got to be beef. Or, yeah. Pork? Flamin' yon? That sounds like it exists.
Starting point is 00:27:14 I don't know. Anyway, the rat mignon industry is booming. And young Charlie gets taken under Big's wing as sort of an, initially just as an intern, but eventually in an advisory role. Middle management kind of blew collar. To this day, that's how Mr. Big, that's more of an origin story really,
Starting point is 00:27:36 how he hired his associate, Charlie. And of course, they all lived happily ever after until Brady the Rat King found out that someone was making mignon out of his mignons. And then he exacted his cruel revenge. But that is a story for another day. Oh wow. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:54 More about this movie though. Three. Brady and the boys. What I'm interested in is the film, Guy. The film. What did it make you feel? What did it make you think? What did it make you do? what did it make you feel what did it make you think what did it make you do it made me make you sing it made me let's just say the movie the film moved me to a bigger house i don't think it makes sense in the context though oh no i said the the quiet part the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud i've blown it it didn't do anything to
Starting point is 00:28:33 me it just made me insane i literally couldn't look at it yeah i couldn't like i was upset at everyone no one was making good decisions i mean that both as actors and also the characters in their life choices I was deeply frustrated and also the people in this room as well that's right no one was doing anything good we almost ate a whole party bag of Doritos just out of boredom, neither of us were hungry
Starting point is 00:28:56 it was just something to do they don't even do anything to you I actually mentioned in the middle of this film and I'm being like 80-ish percent serious I don't think i should put too many like sharp objects around me while i'm watching the film because i was like you were doing something and i was looking forward to getting hurt to getting injured by you because that would be some sort of stimulus that's pretty full-on bro it's. It's pretty, it's not good. It's not healthy. I like. I think you'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:29:26 They'll be fun to play with. You'll feel the danger. What, knives? Like sharp things around me? Oh, you mean those emotions? What are you getting at? The sharp things around you. I don't think you should like, I'm not, you know, advocating knives.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah. As always. We should bring back that co-host though. We should not. He was so bang up. He was great. I've got a lot of respect for that knife. For what reason?
Starting point is 00:29:54 So steadfast. Doesn't change his opinions and his mind. It's a knife. That's what I'm saying. I'm happy to put a pin in it I want a little bit more juice out of you actually you want to squeeze me like a citrus fruit yes I do
Starting point is 00:30:15 yes I do if you had to how many more times do you think you could see the movie if we just did it once a week open ended yeah yeah yeah yeah no like there's no way it would be more than 52 beyond this yeah so like from now 52 oh no no no no no whatever's left in total yeah 19 do you reckon you couldn't more? Why? There's no... I cannot stress this enough.
Starting point is 00:30:46 This is not a leading question or a loaded question. Yeah, I know, I know. This is purely hypothetical. I'm just trying to chuck something else at you to engage you. Get that brain... No, this is not... This won't work because there's no... I have no desire...
Starting point is 00:31:01 Like, there's no value in watching it more... And also, since we've've started it's been in my head that it's happening 52 times and so that's how much punishment i've mentally you've prepared for yeah you can release like a little bit more of yourself each time but it's all proportionate how much there's but yeah no i mean what what would you answer that that question be? So, good question. Great question. Genius question, I would say. I reckon I could, so I guess it depends on the reward at the end of it, right?
Starting point is 00:31:37 Really. You know, every man has their price. I feel like for the right price, I could do another year. If it was like for a $2 million. Sounds like you're whoring yourself out. Like $2 million. An oil baron listener. Well I like that Tim
Starting point is 00:31:56 Batboy. I'd give him $2 million to watch it. Just pain. Pure pain. That's what that guy loves. Loves pain. To see people in pain. They might be foolhardy, though, because we thought that this was just like a funny movie to pick, Sex and the City 2.
Starting point is 00:32:14 But we were very wrong. And I'm not a good forecaster. So I actually take back my answer. Even for a million dollars, I don't know if I could do another year. A million dollars, come on. That's a game changer. A whole million dollars.
Starting point is 00:32:27 If you've got to pay tax on it, though, what are you getting? So what? Six feet. What are you doing? I don't know, man. It's a good question. Well, I'm doing it for significantly less than that now.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It's a rubbish question. Two million, there's no question. A million. Put that question in the recycling bin. Think about it. What's a million dollars divided by 52? How many dollars do you get a week if you get a million in a year maybe like just about 400 and something thousand no 40 000 a week 40 000 40 000 to what to what can you hear those kids two and a half hours of your life
Starting point is 00:33:01 see they're home now that's why i don't want you dancing around like a birdman, scaring the neighbors. Like a monkey. I was not like a birdman. You just look like a birdman normally, though. No. When you're thrashing around like that, I just see a big parakeet. I look like a wiry athlete.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Like a young David Hasselhoff. I look like I've got the svelte arms for removing keys from fine places. And you've got the sturdy legs of a wrestler, a professional wrestler. So I wrestle up the troops. When I need to get all the military troops jacked up before they go over into enemy lines, what I do is I wrestle them with my legs,
Starting point is 00:33:41 and then they go, and they're all hopped up with the energy and adrenaline, and they go over the're all hopped up with with the energy and adrenaline and they go over the top usually it's just a drill and when they go over the top it's just a whole lot of puppies because we like to brighten their day up so danish architect dick spurt reminds me of the like the worst kind of military man who trains as an officer yet he does officer training so you got that whole other path if you're in the army, you go up, like, one stream. And then if you do officer training, you go another.
Starting point is 00:34:08 And they become, if you follow it through, they're the ones who become generals and stuff. If you go up the, like, grunt route, even if you are the top-ranking soldier possible, like, you've been in the army for 20 years and you're fully decorated and you're, like, the top of that, a junior officer, like a guy who's just graduated is still your senior yeah shitty yeah yeah that is shitty dick spurt is the kind of guy who would
Starting point is 00:34:34 do officer training and be terrible at it and lord it over guys who are like twice his age fully decorated war heroes just to kind of shit dick bots up to you're really ragging on the dick bot this week yeah i fully believe it though i think he's a real piece of work i mean a great piece of engineering there's no questioning that but also in the more traditional derogatory sense he's a real piece of work i think our reaction to the movie this week is a real testament to the um the power of it and the respect and mana should be given i think you could look at the movie like the ocean right there's a lot of moving parts it's dangerous out there don't go swimming out there without a spotter yeah i don't know and like just swim between the flags
Starting point is 00:35:25 yeah because it's vast and it can be rewarding but equally if you hang out in it too long it's a matter of time it's a deep rip not if when if you spend too much time out there the ocean giveth and the ocean
Starting point is 00:35:40 taketh away you gotta respect the ocean um alright well look that's us Everything the ocean taketh away. You've got to respect the ocean. All right, well, look, that's us. So thanks a bunch. And I guess this is Tim Batt signing off another ep this week. This is Delta Captain Montgomery bidding you $5 for Running Back 2 and Real Travel My Fantasy,
Starting point is 00:36:10 if you believe.
