In an unprecedented mailbag move, Tim and Guy answer questions asked LESS THAN A WEEK AGO (at time of recording). Make sure to reach out, or else the boys will soon be answering questions that have yet to be asked. Discussed this week are a Groundhog Day challenge, appreciation for Jon Lovitz, going to see the movie Groundhog Day at the cinema, the origins of chess, and a Worst Idea-style marathon centered around the 1993 Bill Murry vehicle, “Groundhog Day.”Get episodes early and in video on our Substack! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the worst idea, it's the worst idea of all time. It's the worst idea, it's the worst idea of all time. Welcome to the friendzone. Oh, thanks man. It's good to see you. Uh, I would like to formally welcome you on. Go on Montgomery and this is how I do that. Touch, touch hands. It's a hand.

It's a kind of a handshake. Hold hands. Hold hands. It's a sort of a handshake where, um, I'm using my wrong hand. You're using your correct one for a handshake. Yeah. Yeah. But we're not even shaking hands. It's like a enchanté.

Yeah, it's a very cocky greeting. We're just holding hands. Never worked a day in their life. I think in old society, soft hands is a compliment, but I don't feel shame about them, but I'm aware that- There's no calluses on there. The microphones I hold are so soft.

Supple. Absolutely supple SM50s microphones I hold are so soft. Supple. Yeah, absolutely supple SM-50. I don't even moisturize my hands. You got soft hands too, you know. Thanks, man. You know, like you shake hands with some people and you think far out. This guy's... These guys, these hands have done some stuff. Yeah, many days labor. You my hands you'd assume that they've just like a vat of Moisture aloe vera. Yeah. Yeah But much aloe do you think you need to like how much aloe plant? Do you think you need to harvest to get a decent amount of the aloe vera gel out of it? I Think it'd be similar to oranges to a bottle of orange juice

So I think it's a lot. I'm going to say 10 plants will get you 250 ml. 10 plants? I love that. Yeah. Let's go with it. Just making it up. Yeah.

To me, though, I feel quite confident about that. People drink aloe now. It's a drink. Yeah, you can drink aloe. Do you drink aloe? I've tried it. What do you think? I was actually on the fence. It's quite a polarizing sort of I'm remembering a

Solidity to the mouthfeel. I don't know if it had bits like viscous It was sort of thick and I might have had like, you know, people like those tapioca pearls and Boba tea Boba tea Bubble tea. Yes. And they're the Bobas. Yeah. That kind of a... There's something about it like that.

Almost like rice pudding-y. That kind of... I don't know. But I mean, I'm not, I'm not, it's not in the fridge. I'm not reaching for it. But it is in fridges. Like I see it out these days and someone's buying it. And a lot of people are marketing it.

I mean but people are marketing everything. Everyone's trying to make money. Everyone's trying to sell me something. What do you got on the back of your phone there? There's a sticker. It's new. Oh no, I just took the other side of the case off. Usually there's a case on that.

It's a sticker for Wipeout 2097. You enjoying having this computer style My phone is it folds you can fold it you can outwardly fold it Do you wanna know why I bought it? Why and this is utterly ridiculous? This is some Timbatt level shit. We're about to hear about it. Not really. Yeah, this is some real Timbatt Stuff these phones are like quite expensive, but there's no other small Android anymore. And my hands aren't that big. And I had a big phone before it and I would used to get such a sore thumb from swiping and swishing around this big old screen. That having a very narrow closed folded phone.

Was very appealing. That like this is actually the ergonomics I want in a phone but if they could just release a phone like this without the other half of it so that folds out I'd love that. The appealing part that you know to market the appealing part of the technology is secondary to you just wanted a narrow Android. Yeah and everyone hates the dimensions of this they say it's too narrow and I say it's just on the contrary It's just right, but no one use the open face feature often

Ah, yeah a little bit. Yeah, that was Tim's tech report. I do love checking in with you in tech Are you still up to the minute you follow the news you run out of time? Yeah, I do take commentary on our public broadcast RNZ every week every second week. Oh my gosh. Yeah, did it yesterday What'd you say? Well, there's a New Zealander who used to work at Facebook Who's just released a towel book and I talked about that. It was Ruth one Williams sister I wondered that the surname is when Williams Sarah when Williams is the executive former executives name. It's pretty funny So towel book it is funny. It was really been fucking around. It's pretty funny. It's a towel book. It is funny. Facebook's really been fucking around. It was published in secret. Facebook, who have

removed all fact-checking from their platform because it blocks, you know, it gets in the way of information being shared. It gets in the way of a good story. My parents always said, my mum always said, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. And Facebook have absolutely taken that advice and run with it. Until anything that is remotely challenging about them. And my understanding is they actually did try to block the publication of the book very late in the piece when they found out it existed. Yeah, didn't probably because of the First Amendment.

And then they used an emergency legal arbitration to force the author, Sarah Wynne Williams, to not promote the book because it would be in breach of the NDA she signed when she exited Facebook. But it hasn't stopped the publisher from promoting the book. So what's happened is the book selling like hotcakes. Yeah, it's like top of the charts. Are you going to read it? Yeah, I might. Yeah, I might. I think I will probably should.

I think why now? Cause I just sort of researched this to talk about it yesterday. I feel like I know all the juiciest bits. Yeah. Yeah. I think that Mark Zuckerberg asked Shijun Ping to name his unborn child. It's fucking mean these awful. child. These fucking men. These awful, crazy men.

Yeah, we don't need to talk about them. They drain our energy. Not relevant to the interests of the day, which is friends and friendship and family and time and zones. Time zones. It's the friend, family time zone. It's still the most confusing time zone. Adelaide, South Australia. Cause it's a half hour, right?

Put an extra half hour. Can you explain this to people? Well, the traditional model in New Zealand is that the Australian East Coast is two hours behind us. So, you know, 10 AM New Zealand, 8 AM in Sydney or Melbourne say, Queensland are doing their own thing. They don't do daylight savings time.

So they're holding steady. So sometimes it's a two hour time difference. Sometimes it's three hour time difference. Either way, it's on the hour. Adelaide, Perth, I think they're five hours behind us, but that's fine because again, it's on the hour. Adelaide, South Australia, For reasons that remain unclear to me, Carlo Ricci, actually a friend of the podcast,

tried to explain this to me, but as always, he's too, often when I talk to Carlo, I realize he's actually, and he's very good at explaining things, but he's just too bright. He has a depth of knowledge on too many topics. I don't know what his brain is missing. That means he can carry this much around.

But he tried to explain to me and the very sort of rudimentary understanding I have of it is Adelaide were trying to, cause he said it, if you look at the actual, the separation of times, like the time zones along the plan on planetary lines, or not planetary, but like the globe like where the lines you know run run down planet Earth for where time zones are like kind of latitude yeah yeah for them to break it up by half an hour doesn't make it there's no logical reason for it to exist even Carlos confused as to why they've done this it was something to do

with them wanting to be closer they want to be more closely affiliated or associated with Australia's East coast. That is nuts. So it's like political. I don't know. But anyway, they're two and a half hours. So you reckon about daylight savings? 10 AM in New Zealand, 730 in Adelaide.

What a fucking pain in the ass. I don't even know. Do other countries go on the half hour? I don't think, I don't think's anywhere, but Adelaide doing it Yeah, I think you're right because sometimes I need to figure out different time zones of you know like you know New Zealand versus London Los Angeles, New York Another bit of Paris my they're all on the out. They're all synced up My preferred feature for that is the weather app on my phone

Okay, because you get the weather and it just gives you the time For the different places. Yeah, check it out. This is this this is one of my I haven't been doing a lot lately One of guys top apps. It's time for app review. Yeah Is over but now it's time for guys I'm getting my weather and some ages enters and I'm getting the time So I know I can make contact with my sister in London, say. Mm-hmm. But actually she'd be in bed by now. Anyway, bit of fun.

What more information do you need? Me? Yeah. Nothing. It's just all on the weather app for Guy. What kind of day am I gonna have and what is the time in London right now? And then also, well, when I'm away,

I'll keep the home weather on because I think the weather has a bearing on the vibe. And so I like to know what sort of day is in store for Chels. I like to know what the weather holds in store for her. That's nice. That's really nice actually. The weather holds an incredible amount of sway exactly And so often you know if you're enjoying a really sunny day, and you think God. It's what a great day I'll bet you know they have a great day back home, too And then you check and it's hosing down you think oh I better not send photos of this blue sky I'll lighten the tone nice. You know yeah. Yeah. I'm not gonna be like stunner here I'll temper my excitement for the day. Yeah, how you doing doing? Me? No, no, no, that's what I'd say in the text. Oh yeah, yeah. But how are

you doing? No, it doesn't matter. I'm embarrassed. You don't want to share? No, no, no. All right. We're gonna dip into the mailbag now folks. So that's what we're here to do. We love hearing from all of you. Yeah. But especially you. Thank you. Oh, not me. Okay, that's fine. I've got a message here. I've got an email from Tom It's actually fine received into my mailbox the day before Valentine's Day this year. Mm-hmm. Check this out Hey Tim mole man and guy Halifax Montgomery burns I was delighted to hear my email read on your podcast family times 16 a mere 434 days since it was sent pretty good

Hearing a past version of me recommend Twin Peaks was a surreal moment after listening to your sultry Kiwi tones for so long I'm now too scared to recommend any future TV shows or films as the message wasn't read out until the week of David Lynch's death, but wanted to express my love for the Good Times episodes. Well now it feels like he's foretelling our demise. He's rolling the dice, that's for sure. In the new chilled nature of the chats without the shadowy figure of Carrie Bradshaw haunting the proceedings. Well apologies for our last episode where she made a reappearance. And our forthcoming episodes where she made a reappearance and our forthcoming episodes where she will again make a heavy appearance. Back to the email. As an

update to my previous message I did finally catch up and I am a proud sub-stack member. Oh fantastic no doubt by the time this is read paying the boys will have changed again and currency as we know it will be long extinct. I for one welcome our new Rat King overlord. Say my name even if it isn't Tom from Stafford, United Kingdom. We're closing the gap folks. That was only about a month ago. That's amazing.

Versus a year and many months ago. That's pretty good. I still get tickled by Say My Name, even if it isn't. And I got some real good John Lovett's content recently. Did you? Who we say when he passes. Excuse me for yawning, buddy. Here it is. At Bernie's.

I'll tell you one other thing about Lovett's. I swear to God it's a true story. And I say it's funny. Is that Ed Harris? It lets you into the minds of these story. And I say it's funny. Is it Id-Harris? It lets you into the minds of these guys. And you know them so well. Helms? Id-Harris.

No, Id-O'Neill. O'Neill, that's it. I ran into John at Tiffany's. I never go to Tiffany's, but I was there with my wife to get something for a gift for somebody in Beverly Hills. And there's John. And it was two days after Phil Hartman. Oh boy. Okay.

Phil Hartman and John were best friends. Best friends, yeah. The best of friends. Thick as thieves. So when I saw him, you know, I thought, oh my God, here's John. And I went over to him and I said, John, um, what can I say? And he said, what? And I said, what can I say?

You know, about Phil. He said, what about him? Jesus Christ. I said, what about him? Come on, you know, what? I said he was killed. He goes, oh, that now. Now that being prefaced with the fact that I think he threw up for a week. Yeah, he did. That it almost killed him. Yeah. But he couldn't resist being funny.

The dark humor. Isn't it? He's a real breed, John Lovett say. He is. He's out there for himself, you know. There's. And a dying breed, I feel like. Yeah. I hope he's mate. I feel like yeah, I

Hope he's mad. I'm sure he has and I actually have no idea what he's like as a guy But I hope he's got enough money that he doesn't need to worry. Oh, yeah, I'm sure I don't know if he's the best guy in the world. No, I just a vibe thing But just I don't know I love it strikes me as- Energetically, it doesn't feel like he's brimming with empathy. 100%, yeah, I feel like there's a bit of a wake behind that guy. Not sort of Andy Dick level or anything. No, no, no.

Did you say, was I sending you that photo? Oh, maybe it popped up in both our Facebooks because I think it gave it as a memory, the time when you and I met Andy Dick, like I guess 10 years ago or something, when we were in Los Angeles. It's quite a nice photo that I will not repost of you and I and Andy Dick. I met Andy Dick, uh, as a, as a watcher of comedy in road trip.

He played some crazy character where he was teaching. I think old school teaching how to suck dick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To, um, hungry like the wolf. Yeah. Duran Duran. That's it. Yeah. Oh, I said suck dick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah to hungry like the wolf. Yeah, that's it Yeah, why said suck dick and then blow jobs. It's so heavy. It's so harsh. I think will ferrell tackles them

This is it's sort of we missed something. It's that old school. Look at this photo Look at how beautiful these people and their landscape is That's so not it It is old school. And it says- Wait, what am I looking at here? Is this correspondence that's been sent to us by listeners? These are the people who wrote to us. Can you, would you kindly, for the listeners guy,

for everyone, because this isn't on Substack either, it's on your phone, describe the image. It's two people on a boat, and what I'm assuming is they're on the back end of a boat. So you can't actually see the boat. You just see the view behind them, which I'm assuming is Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound, which is sort of on the southwest, the very southern west coast of New Zealand. It's sort of in, it's a region called Fiordland.

It's some absolutely most beautiful scenery we have. Bluebirds the word as far as the sky goes. Couple of clouds. Looks like a perfect day for sightseeing and it's a message that was sent Amiga 13 days ago. So we've missed the window because it says sent tonight in sub-stack but I feel that the frosty fellas happen to be thirsty and get to Auckland Airport this afternoon. I'm happy to buy him or both of them a beer or other beverage. We're finishing up a wonderful two-week stay on the South Island. Have a few hours layover on our way back to the US. Beautiful country you have here. And this is just people who have had a positive experience and we're just putting the feelers out to say, hey, if it times out. That's so nice. This is beautiful. I'm going to reply to it right

now in real time. Okay. Would you like to say aloud what you're gonna say? This is beautiful, we are both sorry to have missed our window of opportunity. Of opportunity, stay safe, back home. That's a good send off, I think. There we go. Sightseeing. I've got a doozy to come but it's your turn. No I'd like to hear yours actually. Okay you ready? This one if we're interested in maintaining the gap like this is great because now everyone listening along it's an exciting time where we can say get in touch

It's an exciting time where we can say get in touch because we are like on a one to one. Oh, real time. Real time ratio. Yeah. So real time at Tim and Guy. Your references to what we're discussing, your pop culture references, everything is happening in perfect synchronicity. No guarantee if we'll still get it. No, but it's an exciting window of opportunity because this one is from Amiga four days ago.

Holy shit. This is our real podcast work. Hello, my chaps, my oaks, my fellow friendly fuckers. I've heard you in both ears all morning as I've gone about the banal, but somehow comforting daily tasks that anchor oneself in real life in amongst today's slightly surreal times,

the grocery shopping, the laundry and such. I'm a fan of the fun facts and have been inspired by Guy's expression of interest in chess to share a notable one I came across whilst perusing the internet way back when it was safe and healthy to do so. With that, here's one for you Guy, but also for you Tim. Oh. There is a moment in history that cemented chess is a game that could only be mastered by the cream of the intellectual crop, the undisputed strategic and analytical titans of the human race. The story may or may not be historically accurate, but it is regardless a wonderful story.

I'm looking forward to hearing this. A very great and powerful emperor from the East gathered his greatest advisors and sages proclaiming, I have defeated all my enemies and now time lies heavy on my hands. I want some occupation, some pastime, some puzzle that will absorb my time, fulfill my passion for war, strategy, conquest and tactics. Whomsoever invents such a thing shall be awarded any wish." And so the most cunning and talented minds set to task busying themselves to come up with a creation that would satisfy the emperor. An old Persian man presented himself to the

emperor and offered him a seat opposite himself. Between them was a relatively plain-looking wooden checkered board with two ranks of boxwood and ebony pieces set at each player's end. The man said, my game is unique because there is no luck, just planning, cunning, skill, daring and imagination. Here is the king. In my country, we call him the Shah. Your task is to attack my Shah. And when there is nowhere to move, you may cry, Shah Mat, the king is dead.

Check mate, said the emperor. Close enough, said the man. They played and played and played. The emperor was so engaged, so enamored, so enthused by the game that he declared his request had been satisfied and offered the man his wish. The man said, my wish is simple. I would ask for a grain of rice to be placed on the first square, then two on the next, four on the next, eight on the next, and so on.

The emperor laughed and gestured for a bag of rice to be brought in and began counting out the grains. As he came to the king's rook one, having counted out 128 individual grains of rice, he grew bored and passed on the task to one of his advisors. He made to leave, but was blocked by his chief astronomer and mathematician. Sire, he said, I've made calculations. For the time we've reached the end of the fourth row, we will need two billion grains of rice. By the last row, we will bankrupt the empire. The emperor slowly began to realize the gravity of the old man's wish. And so he did what any emperor would do,

had the man decapitated for his insolence. There's a fun but potentially erroneous fact for you. Do with it what you wish. I hope you've enjoyed this correspondence and hope you're extra well extra healthy and extra happy Tim Congratulations on your license. Thank you Thank you both for your consistent company and good nature whoo-roo and a kiss and that is from Ben I would like to say in response to that email

What a beautiful Writing style yeah and perfectly matched to the reading style of Guy Montgomery. I will say I thought it was fantastic writing and to accept and echo the pat that you gave me on the back. Midway through that I thought I was sight reading up a storm just then. Crushing it, absolutely crushing it. But that was a beautifully told story. I'm just scrolling back through the correspondence with Ben to see. This is not the first time that Ben has written a thoroughly thought through and articulate message. Ben's a goodie.

Thank you very much, Ben. I did enjoy that story. I didn't... It has sort of a whiff of familiarity, but it all faded to the resources of my... It's a weaving together of fun maths facts with like a parable about the Genesis of chess. Yeah, I'm sure is Not true, but that's irrelevant. Yeah. Yeah, I always forget that word What is the the word for a story that is not literally true, but contains a fable? No, it's not but contains like a tale that you want from it. Is it parable? Maybe it's parable What's a fable then?

A fable just means a myth I think but a parable is a myth with a message. It's a it's it's specifically like Oh, it doesn't matter. It's a myth. It's a myth. It's a myth with it It is like the story it is a story to explain something that is not literally true But it contains a lesson in it, which is very sort of livable. A parable has religious connotations. Yeah. A simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson

as told by Jesus in the gospels. I might be thinking of parable, but I did think there was another word for it as well. But at any rate, that, yeah, the grain of rice thing sort of, oh, weirdly, sort of demonstrating a parabolic curve in terms of math within a parable. Yeah.

Same thing with, um, you know, the card shuffling thing. Hmm. I've given you this before on this podcast, but it was a few years ago. So I'm going to give it to you again and probably butcher it and probably Google it like I did last time and then blow your mind. There are more individual ways to shuffle a deck of cards than there are atoms in the universe. That is mad. That's actually, do you believe that?

Uh, I believe when you give me information, I believe it. It doesn't feel like it could be true. No, at all grains of sand stars in the universe feel potentially possible atoms I'm gonna check Adams is a big one to be claiming there I'm just gonna go with the first bit and see what comes up. There are more ways to shuffle a deck of cards. Okay. The first thing that comes up is from Reddit. Oh, it says atoms on earth. Okay. Still a lot of atoms, but a lot less than what I said. Yeah, yeah. It's about right though. That feels about right to you?

Yeah, that feels about right to me. According to Google, not bullshit, there are a bit over 8 times 10 to the power of 67 ways that a deck of cards can be arranged and an estimate of atoms on earth would be about 10 to the power of 50. So if that's laden by 10 orders of magnitude, there's still many more ways to arrange deck of cards. I'll read this while you do the maths in your head. Oh here's one, here's a funny one. Oh I just accidentally sent a thumbs up to a really long message. Well you fixed that. Oh man I don't even know how to read this because the numbers are so big. There There are eight hundred Whatever comes after quadrillion

Times more ways to arrange the card dick that means the amount of seconds Would be 25 Trillion I think years twice the age of the universe So if each possible combination of dick where you shuffled the cards is one second Stack all those seconds together twice the edge of the universe Doesn't feel right. That's a that's crazy. Yes. That's math, baby Don't really get it. Here it is. Dear Tim and guy listening through back catalog. This is I'm gonna say

Yesterday, okay. So this is up to, once this has been consumed, enjoyed, digested, responded to, our Facebook page. I could have a coffee or something, eh? The worst idea of all time will be up to the minute. Good Lord. Listening through your back catalog, I couldn't help but be struck by the fact that you have been confronted by,

had to become intimately familiar with two different Hobbes. Luke Hobbes, from The Fast and the Furious, and Miranda Hobbes, from Sex and the City. This got me thinking. If you were to recast, rewrite Hobbes and Shaw so that Miranda Hobbes, slash Cynthia Nixon, were to replace Luke Hob Hobbs Dwayne the Rock Johnson, which famous or fictional Shaw Would you partner her with? Perhaps famous jazz clarinetist Artie Shaw or maybe Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw Howard Shaw who wrote the music for the Lord of the Rings is spelled differently, but sounds very similar So maybe you could have him trick shot

Brad becomes Carrie's middle name. So she is Carrie Brad sure So I'm sure so you're writing you're just putting it with a character She already spent some it's just a spin-off of sex in the city where it's just Carrie and Miranda. They have to be So they have to be like in a fast and furious style universe. Oh, yeah, that's fine That suits me down to a T. I Quite like doing the Howard anyway, it says I'll just finish the messages So maybe you could have him let me know your thoughts say my name even if it isn't Harold Worm I like Howard Shore composer for Lord of the Rings

I like Miranda Hobbs and Howard Shore and they're racing the clock to try and stop some nuclear weapon from getting into the wrong hands. And all the time they're moving around, Howard Shaw keeps like humming, scoring the adventure and Miranda is growing more and more irritable. But then eventually the scoring that he's doing, like the humming or the whistling he's doing has value. So as part of the reconciliation with the fact that what he's doing is annoying, but could have utility. He's humming something and then maybe he hum maybe like at a certain point he's humming the Lord of the Rings theme. And then one of the henchmen is like, can you hear that?

I love that movie. And they start talking about how many endings return of the King had. And then they look away the wrong way and then they can sneak through and something good can happen. And then he's like, this is amazing. And then he starts doing a new theme and then it becomes the actual theme that they solve A problem to I ain't gonna top that is brilliant. That's what I like So thanks for the prompt Harry and also all of your offers because I'm trying to think of other famous Shores coming off the top of my head

Off the top of my head Now I'm coming up empty on that sure oh Isn't the guy from well oh, sure Who's that the guy from well? Oh who's also on? Well as Sean oh, that's who I'm thinking of dang Dang it. Another one bites the dust. Although imagine Miranda Hobbs and he in a buddy comedy action series. I like him. He's got a great voice basically. One of his great qualities.

I think I saw him give a speech at the BAFTAs recently which was incredible. Oh yeah? I think. With a voice like that It's hard not to be You've any more for me. Yeah, I've got an email here that I'd like to read you actually I'm calling it. This is our Finale is it yes, I sign off. I have no concept of how long this I know time time Time and I are familiar with each other really I it's how I'd mark the seconds the minutes the hours Truly the days the weeks the months, you know, the hours. Truly. The days, the weeks, the months.

You know it's been an appropriate amount. The years of. All of this, the amount of. The appropriate amount of. Seconds, minutes, time. Yeah. Yeah, for this, what we're doing. Yeah.

We're okay? Dude, we're better than okay. Green zone. We're perfect. Okay, well, I'd like to read this message then. We've been going for two minutes. Dear Tim and Guy, I am sure that this targeted ad found its way to me through my love of you and your show.

Below is a link to an upcoming movie marathon put on, I'm gonna assume the next word is supposed to be by, a small theater in Montana, rules included. It is simple. They screened the fabulous 1993 Bill Murray vehicle Groundhogs Day. Is it called Groundhogs Day? No, I think it's singular but maybe the groundhogs represent the multiple screenings I'm sure we're about to hear about. I would love for you

to just check that because if it is Groundhogs Day like I need to rejig that in my brain. At any rate, eight consecutive times in a row I think you know where I'm going with this. I'm not a wealthy man, but I would pay considerable sums of money to sponsor the two of you in this endeavor. At the very least, I pledge to cover the $90 US singular singular Groundhog Day. $90 entry fee for both of you. I have no idea how this would break down into a podcast, but that's not my job. That's your job. And you're the best at it. It's not lost on me that you would likely

that you likely wouldn't be able to reap the rewards of successfully completing the marathon they offer free movies and popcorn for free for the next year if you manage to abide the rules and complete the gauntlet that's probably supposed to be but some things are bigger than that you boys are bigger than that There's a URL to the Roxy theatre org which suggests to me that this theater is also a charitable registered charity I Do not mean to cause you further pain. I love you both dearly say my name Brice yeah, I

dearly say my name. Breeze. Yeah. I encountered a breeze before. No. Is that how you would say that? B R W C E. I gotta say, uh, I love the, um, the carrot that's being dangled in front of that audience.

I think that is a tantalizing, I think that's a great initiative. It's very clever marketing. It's a nightmare. Just conceptually to do that. Groundhog Day from memory is about two hours. It's not that long. Eight times in a row, 16 hours of Groundhog Day. I'm sure the rules stipulate that you can't fall asleep. Oh yeah, that's fine. I could easily do that. I couldn't do that. Well, easily is that's fine. I could easily do that. I couldn't do that.

Well, easily is a strong word. I could not do that. But I could do that. I love, it sounds achievable. I'm battle worn. Yeah, exactly, but people don't, it sounds achievable and that's part of the magic of it. Battle hardened, I think is what it's trying to say.
