Starting point is 00:00:00 In this movie, Adam and the other grown-ups move home to their hometown in Stanton, Connecticut, where Shaq and I have been the hometown police officers for a while. And we all grew up together. So they come home, and it's the last day of school. And the boys all get together and have a day together, and they run into Shaq and I. Hello and welcome to episode number 36 on this fantastic voyage of the worst idea of all time. What you just heard was Peter Dante. Hello, my name is Tim Batt.
Starting point is 00:00:51 My name is Graeme Montgomery. What you just heard was Peter Dante. Sorry, I was swallowing a delicious mouthful of a salmon and cream cheese croissant, but we'll get to that later. What you just heard was Peter Dante explaining the plot of Grown Ups 2 in a promotional video.
Starting point is 00:01:07 And, I mean, what a delight it is. I feel like nothing really encapsulates the motivation of the characters in the actual production of the film itself. Nothing encapsulates the motivation for that quite like that soundbite. The amazing thing about that is that Peter Dante, despite the fact that it's a 20,
Starting point is 00:01:26 it's like, can you please give us a synopsis of the film in 30 seconds or less? And he runs out of film at about the 12 or 13 second mark. The guys all get together and they have a day. They come back to the city,
Starting point is 00:01:41 they reunite in the city and shag another cup and they have a day. It's so good. What more do you want? And then they cut because there is no more of the movie. That's the beauty of it. My God.
Starting point is 00:01:54 My God, folks. What can you say about Grown Ups 2 at this point? We've seen it literally three dozen times. Guy came into this watch so hot. Not hot. No, hot in a cold way yeah yeah i was the coldness i was downcast i uh i text him just because of our schedules i knew that this was probably going to be the moment to watch the film and i sort of had a reasonably good mood on when i text you and then as soon as i text you i became really blue man you got completely despondent
Starting point is 00:02:23 with everything and really like more depressed than I believe I've ever seen you. Yeah, yeah. It just became too real. Just, yeah. And then when we watched it the first sort of 20 minutes, it was just, it was so jarring. Hold on. Let's not shortchange the people who are listening to the podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:41 The first thing that we did is went to the supermarket because you were already so blue going into it that we had to buy croissants and a lovely bit of salmon and cream cheese. You clearly pointed out while we were in the supermarket, Tim, that this is becoming
Starting point is 00:02:57 an increasingly expensive project for us. We bought a box of beers, two bags of gummy lollies, a bag of cookies two steak fillets eight croissants and a tub of cream cheese yeah
Starting point is 00:03:12 I mean what did it come out at? 55 bucks 55 bucks New Zealand which for our American audience which I know is vast and wide ranging 70
Starting point is 00:03:19 what? 70 to 80 no it goes the other way mate it's about about 38 dollars off the top of my head. Prove me wrong with the exchange rate. This is not really a sustainable rate for a stupid project. That's why we need your help once we get this campaign underway to go to LA.
Starting point is 00:03:35 But I don't know. That's for later. It's neither here nor there. Anyway, yeah. So the first 20 minutes of the movie, what was jarring to me is I was watching it and all I could think and notice was just the absurdity of the whole idea was jarring to me is i was watching it and all i could think and and notice was just it was just the absurdity of the whole idea was really striking me i was just like the entire project yeah just i felt like i was watching the same movie for the 36th time and usually
Starting point is 00:03:57 i can block that out and just enjoy something i don't know i don't know i don't know how i've been dealing with the last few episodes but in in this episode when I was watching it, I was like, this is fucking ridiculous. And frankly, it's a waste of our time. It's a waste of my goddamn time. I know. I know what you're saying. I've got a few of my own leisure hours. It's the end of the sunlight of the day.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah. Do you know what the difficult thing is going to be as well? Is that in New Zealand, we're heading into summertime at the moment. And nothing... Because I remember when we started man And we only got the kind of back end of it But even then it was kind of crippling But we're going to get some beautiful
Starting point is 00:04:32 Beautiful An entire season of gorgeous New Zealand days Where we are sitting indoors Watching this fucking Adam Sandler piece of shit No look let's not See I don't know Yeah For like the 48th see I don't know yeah
Starting point is 00:04:45 for like the 48th time I don't want to cuss out the movie yeah I apologise for that like maybe I don't know if I'm like and that's I guess the other thing
Starting point is 00:04:53 is I don't know if I'm cussing out the movie or the project right now I don't know who I'm angry with I don't know if it's you Tim I don't know if it's me I don't know if it's Adam
Starting point is 00:05:01 Dennis Dugan can I save you some time yeah you're angry at yourself what you're exhibiting right now is projection you're trying to put the anger
Starting point is 00:05:10 that should be aimed at Guy Montgomery onto all and sundry that isn't Guy Montgomery that is untrue it is I only listed three possible people
Starting point is 00:05:19 who I'm directing four including myself possible people that you would have kept going if I didn't cut you off you don't know that you don't even know me I am angry with myself listen to the way I'm directed at four, including myself. Possible people that angers... You would have kept going if I hadn't cut you off, mate. You don't know that. You don't even know me. I am angry with myself.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Listen to the way I'm talking to you. So the watch was grim. It was void of hope, is how I would describe it. If I had three words to describe the watch on this 36th viewing, void of hope. It was a despondent wasteland of emotion. It was just... I mean, and you said at the start should we do you want to you would you were playing um like spouse you were playing like trying to pick me up kind of you're you're a wonderful caring boyfriend and i'm a needy
Starting point is 00:05:59 partner and you're going do you want do you want to do you want the salmon now or do you want to have the salmon later? Because I want it when you want it. And I said, I want it later so I've got something to look forward to. Almost maybe even a father and I'm the sulky teenager. But I was like, me, me, me, me. You're not far off from how it went down, but you weren't that bad, guy.
Starting point is 00:06:21 But it's important to have things to look forward to during these viewings. Yeah, and so what happened is, near the end of the movie, we whipped up the salmon. Movie's still running, obviously, still absorbing all of the great... I mean, while you were cooking the salmon,
Starting point is 00:06:36 you noticed one of the... sort of a really good stage fight punch in the fight scene. Lord almighty. I don't know how to point the... Well, once again, don't watch the movie, but if you've seen the movie, I don't even know how I would reference the point at. Lord almighty. I don't know how to point the... Well, once again, don't watch the movie, but if you've seen the movie, I don't even know how I would reference
Starting point is 00:06:48 the point at which it happens. It's not worth explaining. It's too specific. But simply put, there is a punch that in no way, shape or form connects during one of the stage combat outings which we see happening with the extras.
Starting point is 00:07:00 At this point, I feel like, fair enough, I'm tired in the same way the stunt coordinator on this movie would have been tired by the last day of this point, I feel like, fair enough, I'm tired in the same way the stunt coordinator on this movie would have been tired by the last day of the shoot. Remembering my theory that this was shot
Starting point is 00:07:10 in a linear and chronological fashion. So he's just like, yeah, good enough. It's a buy. Everyone wants to get home to their families or laptops.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Or anything. Anything. Anything that isn't this. I feel like those are the main two things people want to go home to now Guy Montgomery I'm going to pick your mood up
Starting point is 00:07:27 because I committed at the start of this I said I'm going to come in and I'm going to be happy I'm going to be happy with this watch and I've let you down so far you said earnest yeah
Starting point is 00:07:36 I said earnest and positive though which in my mind equates to happiness because if you were being truly earnest you'd be really honest about how upset you are as well well that's true there's no lie I don't want to bring you down I don't want to upset you are as well. Well, that's true. That's no lie.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I don't want to bring you down. I don't want to bring you down. Oh, now you've made me forget the point I was about to make. You're being positive. You're telling me. I was trying to refresh. You were just going to lift my mood. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:07:53 What I was going to do is bring up things that we were talking about during when the movie was on, but I've forgotten all of them. The first one was American phone etiquette. Yeah. Because this is a confusing thing. Well, it came up because of when chris rocks meant to deliver cable to his mother-in-law and the mother-in-law is on the phone to mayor rudolph obviously her daughter he's a cable man he's there to install it it's his sole job for the day and uh
Starting point is 00:08:15 and she decides the mother-in-law decides she has to go to the bathroom so she just goes i gotta run to the bathroom love with the childrens up the phone. And what do you say you go, she's got bad phone manners. Yeah, because there's a little bit of dialogue and I'm sorry that I forget it word for word. I should know it by this point. But I forget exactly what she says before then. But she rattles off a bunch of dialogue
Starting point is 00:08:39 and then says, I gotta go to the bathroom. Love to the children. Doesn't wait for a goodbye. Doesn't wait for an acknowledgement that the person on the other end of the phone has heard what she has to say or cares or anything, and then just hangs up the phone. The thing with that is that is commonplace in American cinema. I remember when I was younger, I was always absolutely taken aback.
Starting point is 00:09:02 You'd watch, say, a high school movie or a teen movie and uh the two the the traditionally your female and male romantic interests the male would pitch to the the love interest she'd say hey so we'll meet okay so we'll i'll meet you for coffee at eight and she'll go yep and then they'll both hang up the phone and in my head all i can think about is how the fuck are they going to wind up at the same coffee shop at 8 o'clock? They have not discussed any of the details. Very good point. Neither of these people know where they're meeting. This is often before the time of text.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Communicating exactly the details of the arrangement. So here's the question, because we live in New Zealand, is this simply a trope that's used in our cultural products which are imported into our country via the medium of film and television? Or is this genuinely how Americans communicate to each other? I feel like on Shortland Street they don't talk like that. No, do you know what it is though? It's too finicky and fidgety, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:04 If you had these two characters in a film and then they spent about 10 to 15 seconds of their time with dialogue going, okay, well how about we meet at Benita's Cafe at 8 o'clock next Tuesday. Is that good for you? The other character goes, oh, actually no, I've got a doctor's appointment
Starting point is 00:10:23 that Tuesday morning. Could we do Wednesday? And then the other one goes, no, I've got a doctor's appointment that Tuesday morning. Could we do Wednesday? And then the other one goes, when's your dental appointment? 2.30? What the fuck, man? I was on a roll. You come in here with your tooth puns.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I was on a roll. You come in here with your tooth puns. I was building. Why do you want to do me like that, Tim? Sorry, bro. I came in too hot. I fed a bit to drink. No, you didn't come in too hot. I'm just being cranky.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I just don't know why he did the 2.30 joke. You say dentist i'm pretty sure you said doctor yeah you were just real keen on the that's trying to shoehorn the tooth you saw an opportunity fellow the podcast needed a gag shining light for me if i'm being honest it was the point where brayden higgins and we've talked a lot about the moment and i've actually made a gif of it myself which i posted on our facebook page facebook.com slash worst idea of all time brayden higgins is in a i'm not sure where he got it but an inflatable solo life raft thing like a lilo and he just summertime. And he's really enjoying the moment. And the moment that he's enjoying is the two boys, from his point of view, urinating on a cliff top.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Andre and Greg. Or Boomer and Scully. Thank you. Good work, you, guy. Good work, you. So the context is that they've both been given beers. They've decided they don't want to drink the beers because apparently they're too young,
Starting point is 00:12:03 which is ridiculous, but we've talked about that uh and so they decide to just whip the caps off face the other direction and pour them as if they're urinating and brayden loves this fact he loves that the two lads are getting loose whipping out the old trouser snake and draining that bad boy on top of the cliff. If you reflect on our discussions around the character of Brayden Higgins, a recurring motif is positivity. Which is ironic because he's only positive when he's in the background.
Starting point is 00:12:34 If ever he's got dialogue, he's negative and angry. But when he's in the background or in that particular shot, positive as they come. That is interesting. My shining light was... I wrote it down. Is it the salmon?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Because to be honest, we're just taking turns having mouthfuls of the salmon. That's right. How good is it? You've done a great job. Thank you. Two delicious fillets of salmon. I believe an Atlantic salmon. I'm just going to go to my notes.
Starting point is 00:13:03 This is a South Pacific salmon, I think you'll find. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Wow. I thought you could taste the difference. Oh, my shining light. I was really excited. It was a costume at the party.
Starting point is 00:13:15 There was a Pee Wee Herman costume at the fancy dress party. You did like that. It was really distinct. It was that red bow tie, white shirt, grey suit. And the enthusiasm. I felt like the extra actor, so whoever it was, we'll call them Michael. I felt like Michael the extra was really committing to the character of Pee Wee Herman. Is there a reason you picked the name Michael?
Starting point is 00:13:40 No. Cool. Michael's my go-to name. Michael and Margaret. If I have to make up a man, he's always calledgaret if i have to make up a man he's always called michael if i have to make up a lady she's always called margaret interesting what does it say about you i don't know because it's been margaret for a couple of years now i'd alternate the other ones but i'm always saying margaret and it's not even a very common name
Starting point is 00:13:59 and i don't think it's a young name like when my mom name is Margaret. Truly? It is. I just can't imagine naming a newborn Margaret. I can't imagine having a brand new baby in my arms. There's actually a wonderful tradition in my maternal line of my family where it goes Catherine, Margaret, Catherine, Margaret. The daughters of Catherine's name their daughters Margaret and vice versa. Did your mum break the chain? No. So my sister is known, fun fact,
Starting point is 00:14:29 my sister is known as Rosie. Her legal name is Catherine. Really? Yeah. So here's a funny story, which no one cares about except for a guy who has met my sister a few times. So everyone thought her name was Catherine Rose until she went to get her driver's license.
Starting point is 00:14:48 And then she went to put Catherine Rose on the driver's license. And they were like, we can't put that on. And Rose was like, no, don't worry. It's just everyone calls me Rosie. And they were like, no, no, no. Rose appears nowhere in your name. And she was like, what are you talking about? And they said, have you ever looked at your birth certificate?
Starting point is 00:15:04 And she said, no. And it turns out dad forgot to put the rose bit in so her legal name is just the katherine there's no rose in there but she's known as rosie her legal name is the katherine no it's katherine katherine that is no middle name there is a middle name this is like it is vaguely interesting is it kind of it's kind of interesting it's quite funny it's i feel like because you know how i always used to accuse you of having problems i thought you were colorblind and i thought you were deaf in one ear i feel like it is symptomatic you may have accused me of having diabetes at one point as well i don't think i did that uh but i think it's symptomatic of the bat family that you would all just like collectively forget your sister's name well only one of us
Starting point is 00:15:46 did it to be fair and it was papa bear no but then you all just i guess you were all misled by his era yeah but we were all i i feel i get what you're saying we're all part of it and i don't mean to be disparaging towards your parents who i'm pretty sure would not listen to this podcast ah do they no no no no i'm not sure they understand what podcasts are all about. I think my dad checks in like once every handful. Your dad's a good man. He really liked my work on the TV show you used to host when I used to guest in there.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Yeah, he did like that. He was a big fan of me, bro. He's a good man. Yeah, he's never been positive about the podcast. He doesn't understand why we're doing it. But do you? Well, no, but I don't say that the podcast. He doesn't understand why we're doing it. But do you? Well, no, but I don't say that to myself. I don't.
Starting point is 00:16:29 You should, man. You need to question why we're doing this. All the time. No. So, Paddy Schwartz Party Time is a part of the podcast where we analyze our favorite bit of when Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was in the film, our favorite bit of him on screen. Andger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was in the film, our favourite bit of him on screen.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And I'll tell you what, this week... Paddy Schwartz, party time. It's Paddy Schwartz, party time. It's party time. With Paddy Schwartz. With Paddy Schwartz. Oh, it's party time. With Paddy Schwartz.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It's party time. I got you to write it down this week. Yeah. There was a bit where he really, in most of the movie, he doesn't know how to react or act to people around him or the situation that's occurring. But there was a particular bit where, my God,
Starting point is 00:17:19 he just doesn't know what to do with his face. What bit was it? It was when he's on the hill. The first time when they're on the hill and throwing down the challenge to the townies. So we're near the end of the movie at this point, folks. The fight's about to begin. The frat boys have just arrived with a ton of people
Starting point is 00:17:36 and they're on the hilltop. And Taylor Lautner is delivering a speech. A rousing speech. Which is both unifying and arousing. Arousing. I was saying rousing. I beg your pardon. I didn't find it arousing.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Well, no, fuck it. It's Taylor Lautner. It is both sexual in nature and gains anger among the punters. It is arousing. I think Taylor Lautner is a sexual being. But I don't think the speech in the movie is arousing i think in the world of the movie it is rousing for the flat boy frat boys who flat boys or frat boys obviously respect him as their leader i mean he he has full control over a sea of about 150 like like, grown male and females.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Hey, here's a question. Topps, what do you think he could achieve with 150 able-bodied peak fitness men like that who are at his beck and call? I think he could take over a small town. I think they could achieve... Or like a medium town, maybe even. They could do a really lousy spoof of 300.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Although I think there was already a 300 spoof Oh it was part of One of those Wayan Brothers movies I think it wasn't the whole movie but it was part of Wasn't it? It was in the vein of those original scary movies I feel like They could take over
Starting point is 00:19:01 A town that has a Population of like They couldn't even take over a town that has a population of like 10,000. They couldn't even take over a party of... In the world of the movie. But if you remove them from the world of the movie, those guys under the lead and strategic command of Taylor Lautner, I think you'll find they can achieve a lot more than you may initially believe. What makes you think Taylor Lautner is a sound strategist
Starting point is 00:19:22 when it comes to overthrowing small townships, leading 150 gladiatorial warriors? I can see it in his eyes. What do you see in his eyes? It's there. What do you see when you look in his eyes? Stewardship. What is stewardship?
Starting point is 00:19:36 I only know a steward is a male air host. It's almost the opposite of that in some ways. but that's what a steward is on a flight commandment or command ship leadership that's the word i'm looking for so you didn't mean stewardship no stewardship means something different but not quite the inverse of being a flight attendant what What does stewardship mean? Like taking command of the situation. It's basically leadership, essentially. So you're telling me when I'm flying on an airplane, the steward is supposedly the leader of the flight? No, because they don't come from the same...
Starting point is 00:20:19 No, the pilot is, of course. Well, exactly. So why are we calling the air host a steward? No, but they're from different kind of root words. What is? Steward and stewardess. What did you say? Stewardship. Stewardship. Stewardship are from the same word, surely.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Alright, then I'm going to change my word to steward. What is that? That's, again, similar to leadership but a slightly different variant of it. You're not even saying words. I feel like I am. I feel like I am.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Stooled. Stoolwood. Stoolwood. Stoolwood. Stoolwood sounds like a dumb made-up name for a person. Mysterious. Leadery. And strong.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Stoolward. Stoolward. No, that's not going to take off. Leaderie and strong Stewelward Stewelward No, that's not going to take off I don't know exactly how to spell it but I'm pretty sure it's S-T-E-W-A-L-D It sounds wrong coming out of your mouth Stewel
Starting point is 00:21:17 It looks like your mouth is melting when you try and say the word Stewel I don't know how to pronounce it Don't Google the word I'm gonna It's just not a word Just the last one We've completely derailed the point when you try and say the word. Steweled. I don't know how to pronounce it. Don't Google the word. I'm gonna. It's happening.
Starting point is 00:21:26 It's just not a word. Just the last one. And we've completely derailed the point. Oh yeah, the podcast. I forgot. Which was Taylor Lautner. You think Taylor Lautner could lead 150 full-blown athletic men into a town and overthrow the town.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I do. In real life. I believe that. And you think that when you look at Taylor Lautner, you see a leader. I do. Absolutely. I believe that and you think that when you look at Taylor Lautner you see a leader I do absolutely without doubt without question
Starting point is 00:21:49 how would they go about overthrowing the town I don't know what word I was thinking of because Google's giving me nothing I'm not surprised it wasn't
Starting point is 00:21:57 the fact you googled it is an insult I told you it wasn't a word I was sure it wasn't a word so where are we at now you're explaining how Taylor Lautner is going to overthrow a town oh yeah I told you it wasn't a word. I was sure it wasn't a word. So where are we at now? You're explaining how Taylor Lautner's going to overthrow a town. Well, we're done with that idea.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Okay. Because I got my words wrong. So therefore the idea has no merit. Okay. What about we do the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour? The Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour is coming to take you away. Coming to take you away. Coming today. To take you away. Coming to take you away. Coming today. To take you away.
Starting point is 00:22:30 The Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour is a segment in the podcast in which we speculate as to what caused Steve Buscemi to have his very specific injuries in the world of the film, which of course are 40% feeling his body and two years of having his arms locked into the touchdown position. Now, I have reason to believe, Tim, that it is your week to speculate over the ailments of Steve Buscemi. What have you got for me?
Starting point is 00:22:54 Here's what I'm thinking, Guy Montgomery. Steve Buscemi has been taken over in the first film by a group of 150 able-bodied post-adolescent young men who are fantastic at lacrosse and belong to a certain fraternity named Kappa Eta Sigma. You may know them as the boys of Taylor Lautner. No one knows them as the boys of Taylor Lautner. The boys of Taylor Lautner have taken over a small town that Steve Buscemi lives in and overrun the police force, which was small but powerful. But they were more powerful.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And under the leadership and stewardship of Taylor Lautner, they have managed to outpower and outstrategize them. So, we are looking at 80 killed members of the police force of a small town in Arizona, USA. A small town having 80 police... Like, a proper small town would not have 80... This is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:23:58 If it's a small... No, what I'm saying... It's the upper end of small, but it's still small. But you're saying it's a small police force. A small town with a police force of 80 is... No, it's a small town. You said it was a small... No, maybe not. Anyway. It's a small end of small, but it's still small. But you're saying it's a small police force. A small town for the police force of 80 is... No, it's a small town. You said it was a small... No, maybe not. It's a small town police force.
Starting point is 00:24:10 So, what's happened is the boys of Taylor Lautner, I beg your pardon, as they are known universally, as we all know. Taylor Lautner and the Frat Boys. Exactly. They've taken over... It's a good name for a band. If anyone listening is looking for a band name, Taylor Lautner and the Frat Boys is a dope name for a band if anyone listening is looking for a band name
Starting point is 00:24:25 taylor lautner and the frat boys is a dope name for a band it is excellent i would happily pay 30 human new zealand dollars for the record uh as long as it was 12 tracks you'd buy the album i'd just go and see them live 12 tracks i'll buy it um so they've taken over the small town in arizona and uh what's happened is steve buscemi who we know jumped in the new york fire department in 9-11 uh he's a law enforcement officer by night and a firefighter by day so it was nighttime obviously when the attack came and he he joined in the police force when the whistle blew in arizona and they needed more men he was actually the only one who crossed state lines to join the uh the police squad and he got caught in the crossfire but
Starting point is 00:25:16 because he was so damn good he didn't die he just sustained a massive injury at the hands of taylor laudner and the frat boys and that massive injury was caused hands of Taylor Lautner and the Frat Boys. And that massive injury was caused, if you want to get specific. I do. If you just shut up for a moment and let me talk. I really do want to get specific. Someone threw a brick at the back of his head. Jesus. Right?
Starting point is 00:25:39 That is intense. It would kill a regular man. But not Steve Buscemi. Steve Buscemi. Steve Buscemi simply received nerve damage which froze his arms in the position which they were in at the time, which was, don't mess with me.
Starting point is 00:25:54 And he put his arms up in a really big confronting kind of way. You know like when you're facing a grizzly bear and you want to make yourself as big as possible? Yeah, you do want to do that. That was the strategy that Steve Buscemi was coming into Taylor Lautner and the Frat Boys with.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Not the band. The group. The actual Taylor Lautner and the Frat Boys. The actual, the gang. There's the band and the gang.
Starting point is 00:26:16 This was the gang. The band opened for the gang and then the gang went and did their thing. And then celebrate. When the gang were taking over
Starting point is 00:26:25 the small town in Arizona they hired the band sort of announced their arrival yes look who's in the neighbourhood some of the old boys from Taylor Launder
Starting point is 00:26:34 and the Frat Boys band and then they did their public announcement to let everyone know on a public information campaign PR enthusiasts and majors will know this
Starting point is 00:26:44 and graduates will know this and uh then the gang came in who are the same gents and then the band concluded by celebrating musically the defeat of that small town police force in arizona steve pesciami ran to cover he managed to get back to connecticut stanton connecticut to be to be uh specific andanton, Connecticut, to be specific. And there he lives out to this day, undercover, as a driving instructor. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I like the level of detail and just outright absurdity, but why was Steve Buscemi not reacting in a bigger way when he realized that Taylor Lautner and the frat boys were in his town? You think I haven't thought about this bit, guy. But I have. Name me one shot where Steve Buscemi is present
Starting point is 00:27:39 post the start of the fight. Steve Buscemi is at the end of the driveway, quite literally when Taylor Lautner and the frat boys arrive at the party. Pre-fight. And he does not react in any way, shape or form. Pre-fight. But he wouldn't be able to hide it. It's the band at that point though, it's not the gang.
Starting point is 00:27:59 No, but it is Taylor Lautner. No, but it's the band. That's not important. He would recognize them. No, it is absolutely important. Because they as a collective are existing as Taylor Lautner and No, but it's the band. That's not important. He would recognise them. No, it is absolutely important because they as a collective are existing as Taylor Lautner and the Frat Boys,
Starting point is 00:28:09 the band, not the gang. This is too meta. This is just confusing. When there is conflict, they are the gang. When there is none, they are the band.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I mean, if I can't follow you, I do not know what this experience is like for anyone listening. There's a few beers on set there's no lie but a whiskey has gone down with the salmon have we um i feel like we've probably i think we've covered everything i think we we've covered nothing and in doing so we have run out of time what i want to do is just give another massive shout out to peter dante he's a positive individual who's bringing loveliness into the universe so god bless you secondly we absolutely
Starting point is 00:28:50 loved getting those selfies of you uh fuck they were good through twitter and the facebook for where you're listening to the podcast i mean we had people grocery shopping in northern ireland we had people driving down the main motorway in Los Angeles at 10.30 at night. I think the guy was from Wellington, New Zealand, who was my favorite, though. The guy with the black zip-up turtleneck who had iPod headphones in and was drying a Gladware piece of Tupperware. That was pretty out there. The intensity in his fucking eyes, bro. God, it was good.
Starting point is 00:29:22 There were three dudes listening to it together on Labor Day. Anyway, it was interesting to see so please uh once again i implore you or don't send them through or don't yeah you know like you know but we don't want to be uncool the reality of the situation tim is if you're listening to the podcast you can't be up to much else like you've probably got your phone or computer around like you might be on public transport that's when i listen to podcasts that's fine i mean that's an easy place to take a photo and see it online you're fucking you've now you're just eating the salmon salmon this thing's going on for ralphs thank you so much for listening we'll be back next week remember to live every
