Starting point is 00:00:00 Well it's the Friend Zone, with Tim and Guy. It's the Friend Zone, we're gonna have a good time. It's the Friend Zone, with Tim and Guy. Because making friends is the best idea of all time. Friend Zone. Hello and welcome to the Friend Zone number 105 with Timbo and GuyGuy and Rufus the dog Barely He's here I love Rufus I don't think you do
Starting point is 00:00:34 I have a lot of time for Rufus I'm not sure that's true Rufus is an obstructive force He's a force for good he's just lazy would you rather have that seat yourself what it's a pretty simple question
Starting point is 00:00:53 the seat that you're in that Rufus is taking up about 75% of would you like to have that to yourself oh right I thought you meant like metaphorically would you be in the position of being like lazy but good versus being like empowered but a net negative in the world? I think everyone would choose for themselves and others lazy but good
Starting point is 00:01:14 over like active and... I'm not so sure. The opposite of good, which is bad. I've got a lot of time for like people who get shit done. No, you don't. Yeah, I do do not across the spectrum of good and bad yeah that's true i respect the hustle though you know yeah yeah yeah you got to respect the hustle but and yeah i mean getting stuff done is good but you're a you're a dog's all
Starting point is 00:01:39 over the shop isn't he this is this dog man that's funny. He's just such a piece. He's just, yeah, he's very much, he's actually really similar to a cat, this dog, because he's been raised in extreme luxury. So he just, he loves to sleep. He loves to lie down. He loves a pillow. He's a little pampered pooch, this fucking dog.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Jeffrey Wrights. Hi, Jeffrey Wrights. Dearest. Oh, hello, dearest Tim and Guy. I haven't checked in with you. With me? Look at me. I'm looking at you.
Starting point is 00:02:12 How are ya? I'm... I'm good. I don't... You can say bad if you want. You can say okay. You can say bad. I know. I can say whatever the fuck I want.
Starting point is 00:02:24 I was thinking about it i'm good you know actually i was in a um a medium mood today i'm sort of i last time we checked in i was uh i was at my folks place and i was uh recharging and that was really good and then i came back to auckland and um ch and I, we did a staycation. We stayed at a hotel this weekend in Auckland. That's so nice. It was actually really nice. Highly recommend if an option available to you.
Starting point is 00:02:56 It was just good to spend a few nights in a different environment, you know, with travel and all sorts of other things removed from the arsenal of options. Hell yeah. Get in a tent in your backyard. Exactly. Sleep in it. Do what you got to do. So that was great. And then just sort of boots on the ground,
Starting point is 00:03:12 back on planet Earth, tending to the things that needed to be tended to in my life. A fucking email inbox. She never leaves. That's right. So yeah, I'm good. I'm not my very best, but to be fair, how often can you... Find me the person who is right now.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah, and how frequently is it possible to be operating at your very best? Yeah, that's true. You would have to be on a journey of constant improvement day after day. I saw a funny tweet the other day by a friend of the podcast that said you're not going to name them drugs are just they didn't pay for this ad drugs are just for people who like having fun all the time that is good i like that tweet i would i would like and retweet that tweet that's very how are you that's similar to a sentiment i've always really enjoyed um which is uh uh oh who's the
Starting point is 00:04:06 absurdist painter who did like the melting salvador dali yeah great quote from him i don't do drugs i am drugs yeah that's like that's so ball that's very timbat the tweet by the way was by uh chicago a chicaguan chicago comedian who actually helped uh tee the Sleeping Village, the fantastic venue we played when we did our American tour last year. Remember when that was on the cards? Naomi Spungen, at Naomi Spungen on Twitter. I miss her. She used to live here. Jeffrey writes,
Starting point is 00:04:39 Hello, dearest Timmy. Hi, Jeffrey writes. Hello. Fuck, Dad's back. I hope that this finds both of you well and your friends slash loved ones healthy and well. I have been catching up on the emergency season where you cover Home Alone 3
Starting point is 00:04:54 and I paused midway through listening to episode 8, A Coat Space, because I felt an urgent need to respond to a point that was made. I've written in previously i've written previously a few times and i've always managed to work in something about being from chicago but this time it's actually relevant to the podcast this is weird serendipity yeah yeah this is great serendipity of course a very popular romantic comedy starring john kusak and kate beckinsale is it set in chicago that would be nuts i'll have a look. You keep reading.
Starting point is 00:05:25 No. Everything stops until we find out. We'll wait. I mean, $77 million against a $28 million budget's pretty good. Set during the Christmas season in New York City. Filmed in 2001 fucking typical hey why don't you um go and check out the incredible chicago skyline and architecture and uh dope ass river and deep dish pizza movie makers
Starting point is 00:05:59 you were discussing how the movie is sitting the chicago's in the suburbs of chicago during the winter of 96 or 7 and how there is no mention at all of the bulls basketball team which is completely baffling given that this was smack in the middle of the uh repeat the three pete era after michael jordan's return bulls fever had the whole city and surrounding area in its clutches and was totally inescapable during this period. Many kids, myself included, had an almost entire wardrobe of Bulls shirts, hats and jerseys to say nothing of the posters and other things one might expect. My bedroom was even painted in the team colours during this era. Of course, black and red.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I had Bulls merch. This extended to young boys in Christchurch, New Zealand at this era. Of course, black and red. I had Bulls merch. This extended to young boys in Christchurch, New Zealand at this era. I also remember renting Home Alone 3 on VHS from Blockbuster R.I.P. around when it was released and watched it multiple times, brackets, to be fair, I was a
Starting point is 00:07:00 child. I am curious to revisit after hearing you brave boys discuss it but know that this is probably ill advised thanks again
Starting point is 00:07:09 for doing what you're doing from Jeff M thanks Jeff M Jeff M's a good name for a radio station yeah it's a really good name for a radio station I am really grateful
Starting point is 00:07:18 for that because hearing you articulate it it does still bother me that that movie was negligent towards something I mean I know it's difficult to distill But hearing you articulate it, it does still bother me that that movie was negligent towards something.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I mean, I know it's difficult to distill, you know, to like capture zeitgeist pop culture moments, you know, in a movie that's going to be released three, four, five, maybe a year later than the events that are taking place. But just even a poster, an allusion to. Do you think there was any sort of rights issue that could get in the way? Yeah, but it's still canon in the Home Alone franchise. It's not like they're short of cash. Who? The people who make Home Alone. Oh, like they should pay to have a poster on the wall?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yeah. It's an interesting thing when you start getting into that territory, who is paying whom. Do the bulls pay to have product placement in the child's movie that can indoctrinate young potential nba fans for generations to come you're either indoctrinating young nba fans or like killers killers the robbers no no the the kid is a killer the kid the booby traps are too intense dear to to to timmy and the monster
Starting point is 00:08:30 it's september 7 2020 and i just listened to friendzone 103 on which rob schneider was discussed at length i have to share my thoughts on Real Rob and Overlooked and Undercooked, or else they won't get out of my head. I think I'm one of the few people who watch this show along with you. Its biggest flaw is the way it telegraphs all its jokes. There's one scene where... Holy shit, he's gone right in.
Starting point is 00:08:58 There's one scene where Rob tells Jamie to climb up some unstable boxes and get something. A smart show would have something unexpected happen, but this is not a smart show, so Jamie falls off also of course the main character is awful and i frequently wanted jamie to stand up to him i kind of resent the show for making me want jamie to be happy and teasing us with him getting into a healthy relationship with someone who built up his self-esteem only for it to swerve into the crazy girlfriend trope. Of course, it was fun to listen to you and your evolving cast. That was fucked up. Yeah, that was.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Of course, it was fun to listen to you and your evolving cast tear this one apart. There's something I like about the dynamic of you veterans explaining the show to somebody who's only seen one episode. By the way, you're definitely not punching down. The whole point of punching up is that you're trying to bring people
Starting point is 00:09:40 with excess wealth and power down to the level they should rightly be at. If this show were released by an unknown comedian on YouTube, then I'd say you were punching down. However, I'm really writing because there's one scene that I cannot get out of my head. I just watched it again and it's still strange. In the episode, Zen What Happens, which is tangentially connected to a line from Rob Schneider's most recent phenomenal Netflix special holy shit you're right Asian Mama
Starting point is 00:10:06 Mexican Kids named such because fuck off he has an Asian Mama god damn it dude but his kids are Mexican it's a good thing my young boys here are asked there would be violence
Starting point is 00:10:21 in the podcast studio but I don't want to teach this dog that kind of nonsense why do you hate me explaining the title? I'm so annoyed by it because I've heard it so many times out of your fucking mouth. Then what happens? Rob and Jamie meet with a
Starting point is 00:10:34 Zen master played by legendary character actor James Hong. Milan, Kung Fu Panda, Big Trouble in Little China and at least 600 other credits. You may not know the name but you know the voice. What confuses me is that Rob is playing a Buddhist who knows nothing about Buddhism. He invites the master to a steakhouse, but he should have at least guessed his Zen master would be vegetarian.
Starting point is 00:10:53 He then asks the master tons of Buddhism 101 type questions and goes out of his way to misunderstand every answer he's given. Even most lay people know the point of a Zen's open-ended questions is to encourage deeper thought, but Rob takes them at face value and continues to be disrespectful through mouthfuls of steak until the master vomits. I get that Rob is playing an arsehole version of himself throughout the series, but why portray him as being so ignorant? I think maybe he was trying to give a primer on Buddhism to the audience, but his character is clearly a Buddhist in the series as well.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Jamie was sincerely interested in learning, so it might have worked better if rob was flaunting his knowledge of buddhism by talking over the master and belittling jamie then we could have kept the idea of rob being arrogant and superior instead of just acting stupid i know i shouldn't devote too much energy but i've hurt my brain thinking about this my best guess is that it's just another example of the world being inconsistent between episodes like how in one episode, everyone will recognize him and suck up to him, and in another, they'll treat him as an unknown or a has-been. Schneider also has Jewish ancestry,
Starting point is 00:11:52 so I look forward to a scene in season three where he takes a rabbi out for bacon cheeseburgers and asks him who this Moses guy was. In any event, your reviews were a lot of fun, the jokes are good, but I also enjoy watching people break down various media properties. Over half my YouTube watches are
Starting point is 00:12:07 this show does, does not work, and here's why. Since you're both comedians, I appreciate the inside look you just promised. The inside look. You just promised to watch Schneider's new Netflix special every day for a week,
Starting point is 00:12:19 and I'll hold you to that. Your dressing down this media comedian brings me a lot of enjoyment, even if it's sometimes jarring to hear disembodied voices repeatedly telling me rob sucks much love rob dukes can i say this i fucking love our fan base our listeners our audience our friends our friends rob brilliant points and well made those punch-ups on that ep and what what could have been with this uh with that with that particular episode and to a lesser extent the show
Starting point is 00:12:53 itself you're 1000 right you feel for jamie and then you feel for yourself for feeling for jamie more than once when you do a watch of a whole season it's crippling and i think you're probably right about your take that rob's just trying to insert some buddhism in the show to kind of highlight it for potential newcomers but like at what cost i think he's damaging the brand he said yeah he i feel like i guess it's because it's his vehicle. I'm giving it a lot of thought now. Here we go. Not a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:29 His thinking hat's on. I'll make sure of my Aaron Gox hat. Yeah, you are. Do you want to do a shout out for that merch? Aaron Gox, Fantastic Australian Comedian, A-A-R-O-N space G-O-C-S. Look him up on YouTube. Enjoy his instagram presence just generally uh bathe in the work of the great aaron gox and if you like it there is some fantastic merch available the hat
Starting point is 00:13:53 i'm wearing right now is a corduroy hat this is a guy in uh canberra in act australia who makes various different bespoke hats i saw this one and i had to have it It's modelled after the Hungry Jacks logo if I'm not mistaken And the Hungry Jacks logo, for those of you outside of Australasia is modelled after the Burger King logo And Burger King went after Hungry Jacks and they said, that's our logo and Hungry Jacks said, what the fuck are you going to do about it
Starting point is 00:14:16 It blows my mind Burger King sued them and Hungry Jacks won And now Burger King's not in Australia Wait, are you serious? What you just said? I think so No, they're the same thing I thought it was just rebranded Burger King's not in Australia wait are you serious what you just said I think so no they're the same thing I thought it was just rebranded Burger King no
Starting point is 00:14:29 I'm gonna look it up yeah this is tantalizing so this is almost like I'm not throwing you under the bus or me under the bus but it's almost a hacky bit to bring it up yeah because it's been so often talked about Hungry Jack's is an Australian fast food franchise
Starting point is 00:14:43 of the Burger King Corporation it's a wholly owned talked about Hungry Jack's is an Australian fast food franchise Of the Burger King Corporation It's a wholly owned subsidiary of Competitive Foods Australia A privately held company owned by Jack Cohen Hungry Jack's owns and operates or sub-licenses All of the Burger King, Hungry Jack's restaurants in Australia So there are Burger Kings as well As Hungry Jack's That's wild to have both
Starting point is 00:15:02 It's like streets What do they call it over there? Gay time It's got a different name in almost every country it operates What's going on with that fucking ice cream company dude? That's not normal behaviour It's madness to me Amy writes
Starting point is 00:15:19 Hi boys What was I saying? I had my thinking hat on Oh sorry, you were shouting out Aaron Gox's cool hat. Before that, I was talking about real Rob, and I was saying Rob is not aware of... Rob lacks any sort of fundamental sense of self-awareness. So when Rob is portraying Buddhism on the show,
Starting point is 00:15:36 he is trying to do it as a genuine advertisement, either for himself as a Buddhist, as someone of a deeper thinker than he might get credit for, or for the values of the religion within itself and of course he misses on both fronts i think it's it's best not to overthink these things the simplest solution is most often the correct which is that rob schneider is a moron who lacks fundamental self-awareness and so in trying to promote awareness or knowledge of budd he said he does the opposite. Good luck next time, Rob Schneider.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Hi boys, you can say my name. It's spelt A-M-I-I and it's pronounced like Amy. Like Amy? Crushed it. Amy. Yeah. I became a fan of the potty during quarantine and have binged all episodes in April. This was seen at the end of July
Starting point is 00:16:26 when I ran out of episodes I signed up for Patreon so I could keep listening to your silly ramblings I lost my job due to the pandemic and your voices have been a great source of comfort and lightness during this difficult time some of my favourite moments from the show are this is fucking nice, just highlights real of our stuff
Starting point is 00:16:42 when Tim yells at Guy to slow down when he's reading. Haven't done that in a while. I feel like you've slowed down. I don't think it's anything to do with me, but I just think you have. When you both did the weird jacuzzi scatting to lead into Coffee Guy's segment. Tim's full immersion movie watching experience. Your New Zealand pronunciation of the word no.
Starting point is 00:17:02 It's so musical and multi-syllabic compared to the flat American pronunciation. Also, your New Zealand pronunciation of the word pronunciation. Wow. Amy would have got her fucking rocks off listening to you read both those words. Good on you boys for committing to the bit for so many years. Greatly looking forward to the next iteration of the show and your insights into the very promising comedic premise of 1990s softcore porn from amy how sweet thanks amy thanks amy the new zealand no is fucking hilarious no even as a new zealander like i think it is so i
Starting point is 00:17:41 hear other people there's some there's a friend actually of mine who says it who uh is a new zealander who i think like was born and raised here as a kid and then moved to another place and then came back here so a lot of other words they pronounce with an american accent but they've got a distinctly kiwi no and it fucking slays me no no no it's like that it's like an exaggeration no no no no i say it like that i go no oh no oh no do the american one no yeah no kiwi no we're so funny no no no i'll just uh i'm gonna hand you the box because you've run out of messages, but this is a little donation from Sarah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Fucking hit up the Facebook. We caught up, baby. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dudes. Holy shit. Okay, hold up, hold up. All right. Well, Sarah sent in a donation of $10 and said that I've sent you an email,
Starting point is 00:18:42 so we'll get to that. But first of all, Matthew has sent us 50 schmackos. That's not to discredit your donation, Sarah. Yeah, I really felt like it, sorry. If you know that the value of 50 is higher than 10. Let's not get into that. It might not be. I don't know, Matthew.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Yeah, it's true. They're both equally valuable. This is from Matthew. To us, they're equally valuable. To the bank, there's obviously a huge discrepancy. One of them's worth five times the other one no clues as to which but it's the one from the guy whose email i'm about to read i recently patronized a blaze pizza with my family against a shamedly light resistance should we have pause and just do you want to tell me about the phone call you got one half of moments ago? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:26 We were just setting up to record and Tim's phone rang and he said, it's a phone call from Perth. Do you think it's a scam? And I said, I think it's an opportunity. And Tim answered the phone and said, hello, Tim speaking. And this very buoyant American accent was screaming through the other end of the line going, oh, hiya, Tim. And Tim said, yep, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I'm actually in a bit of a hurry. A hurry to record, I guess. And then the guy said, that's no worries. And then started talking. And I just heard Tim keep saying, I heard the guy say, blaze pizza, Dakota and Zed. And then I heard Tim going, no, no, I'm holding on to that domain name. I'm squatting on that domain. I'm squatting on that domain because if an American business comes to New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:20:08 I want to have them over a barrel. And then the other boys are going, what? No, I'm squatting on it. I'm squatting on it. And I actually still don't know what the phone call was about. It was my domain name host.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Were they saying, what's going on here? Do you want to do anything with this they said we've got a tool that you might want for your pizza business you've got a URL associated with pizza and I said is it blazepizza.co.nz and they said yes and I said no it's for a different thing it's for squatting
Starting point is 00:20:37 and he was a little bit thrown but very unflappable and his response was oh well maybe in the future when the when the business and i was like no you don't understand there's no business associated i'm just trying to mess up an american chain so it's good he got off the phone i think he's going to send me an email about what the tool is that's great imagine if that was the next thing it's not a fish and chip shop in rarotonga yeah it's a fucking pizza shop should
Starting point is 00:21:06 we yeah that hmm no i can't be fucking arsed opening a pizza franchise on a gag i gotta stop saying things out loud by the time i finished explaining the convoluted reasoning for my reluctance i was already overruled out of hand and had earned a few eye rolls of exacerbation exasperation i totally feel that sometimes when i have to explain things reasons i can or can't do things or like you know what i have to go and do i feel like i'm in quicksand as soon as i start trying to articulate this i'm like oh i can't do this because tim and i said we'd do this it's always like oh because we have to do this and the people like it's at some point there was sort of like laughter at one, there was understanding and sort of mercy.
Starting point is 00:21:46 And now there's just like infuriated eye rolls. Like, well, you fucking made this, so go and deal with it. Yeah. No sympathy. I suppose I could have taken the high road and not eaten anything in protest. But the pizza smelled really good. And I was more than a little peckish. Nevertheless, shame is undoubtedly the most bitter spice.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And I tasted it in every bite please accept this donation and i would greatly appreciate it if the boys could publicly absolve me of my sins which would of course require saying my name your humble supplicant name redacted oh come on now that's so unfair matthew it starts with a P. What is it? Matthew Proll. Proll. Matthew, you are hereby absolved of any corporate guilt associated with your consumption of Blaze Pizza. Here's the thing about Blaze Pizza.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Fuck him. Well, before you say that, I would like to say this. Here is one of the things about Blaze Pizza. Flash fire. 190 seconds. Artisanal ingredients. Why wouldn't you say three minutes? What sounds faster to you?
Starting point is 00:22:54 I was trying to figure that out. I'll be with you in 180 seconds. I'll be with you in three minutes. A pizza in three minutes. That's impressive. A pizza in 180 seconds. You've lost. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:07 How long is that? I don't even know how long that is Three minutes Is that like a month? Fucko Is 182 seconds like A calendar week? You know what I mean? Kind of
Starting point is 00:23:15 The number's too big For it to work well I think Our next email correspondence On the friendzone Comes to us from Valerie Rogers Who wrote the book I haven't scanned.

I just listened to Friend Zone 101 and you finally opened my package. I wasn't able to track it, so I thought it was... Wait, have I read this one? Yeah, we've read this. Valerie is thrilled that it got here. Fuck it, I'm reading it anyway.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah, no, we've read it. We've definitely read it. On the podcast? Yes, on the podcast because I remember the last line. Don't touch the screen. I'm not touching the screen. I'm pointing at the screen. Okay.

And recently, Rufus. Just fucking talk, man. Just come here. Chill out. You're not allowed to go out yet. Recently introduced my best friend to it because it's free with Amazon Prime.
Starting point is 00:25:14 And shit, whoa. Is that free? You know what I mean? Well, yeah. It's like all the movies I watch on Netflix are free with my subscription. And she said it was awful and that the movie is a feminist masterpiece. Ooh. That discusses the US government's lack of care for the homeless
Starting point is 00:25:28 and it is still highly relevant. A hundred bucks? Man, I've done way more for less. I would be very interested in researching some cinema that is at the forefront, you know, of feminism ahead of Home Alone 3 even.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Whoa, this looks... Oh, dude! Daniel Stern's in this film. Who's Daniel Stern? One of the wet bandits. Marv. No, Harry. Shit, yeah. What does CHUD stand for?
Starting point is 00:25:55 It stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. This looks fucking sick as hell. I love social commentary wrapped in sci-fi. Rufus, give it a rest! Jesus Christ. Someone paid us $150, guy. Yeah, and their message is, hey, I need you to fucking rock it.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I would suggest watching Rudy. That looks like the beginning of... Cut off. here oh my god where's the follow hold on let me see if i can find anything else from the same john oh yeah there we go um john you got yeah you gotta you gotta let us know because this feels like you got... Yeah, you got to let us know what's up. This feels like you got hammered and maybe pressed one too many zeros. If that's the case, I'll throw that money back at you. No, I love this. That is staggering.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I'm staggered. Thanks, John. I really want to know what the next bit is. Oh. Is this an on-year or an off-year? January 16th. Oh, yeah, that's sweet. This is just somebody who wants a birthday shout-out.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I respect someone who wants a birthday shout-out for January getting in as early as September. They know what's up. Or even August is when it was written. September is when it's being read. This is because this was in... Hi, Tim. I recently saw your Twitter about cameo and email requests um which is where i said uh well how do people on twitter get your email like my email is on line i recently saw your twitter about cameo
Starting point is 00:27:35 and email requests it is my best friend's birthday in january and we're big friends are the boys do you think there's enough time to get your shit together and send her a message? And this very intelligent person has given us a long lead time on it. So maybe that's... I don't want to spoil the surprise, you know? Or is it a friend zone thing? We'll save it. We'll record something separate and send it to you.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Your email address is... Oh, don't do that. Nah, because I want to make it like You know there's a small barrier to getting it I'm not going to give it out I'm just saying I've just done a very cursory bit of research And I'm very computer savvy
Starting point is 00:28:13 So unsurprisingly Well let's not talk about it too much I navigated the various different firewalls And Trojan horses Did you want to read this from Mitchell? Yeah Do you want me to let the dog out? Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:23 I'm proud of you for not singing the song Do you want me to let the dog out? Yeah. I'm proud of you for not singing the song. That pause was me brainstorming a joke. I could tell. Hi, Bimtat and my gaunt mommery. That's not right. Been meaning to send you guys a fan mail since I first started listening about 2014, but my self-respect made me patiently wait until you were big enough to justify it definitely didn't take that long
Starting point is 00:28:50 to come up with a witty opening address and definitely wasn't insecure about my lack of a doctorate or intimidated by the writing standards of your fans I don't have any degree nope ponder that anyway on to a new paragraph.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Regardless, here I am. Just wanted to thank you two lovely lads for all the work over the years. As others have said, you've been a constant bright light of laughter amidst a topsy-turvy, often dark body of water. A warm comic bosom of... Okay. Sorry. Trying too hard again.
Starting point is 00:29:24 You've helped me through some tough times, and my God, you've been funny. Very, very funny indeed. But don't get too carried away though. I won't, I won't,
Starting point is 00:29:32 I won't. You've even come to influence my sense of humor. Anyway, and then an insert from a hypothetical editor, I imagine, which is Ed, consider revising. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Sending much love, smiles, and appreciation from sunny South Africa. current irb you fuck rugby world cup champions feel free to say my name and the current world rankings unless it changes between now and when this is read in 2021 mitch south africa number one that's good new zealand number two that is so good yeah but we beat you in pool play.

I had an idea for a new podcast for us, and we're not doing it because we already do too many podcasts. But the concept was going to be, I never told you this i just came up with this like a month ago i tell you about tech stuff and you tell me about sports stuff on a microphone so the audience would kind of get both it's not bad what do you think i kind of like it yeah
Starting point is 00:30:37 i don't know much i i don't think that's true and and I know nothing. You could explain the rules of rugby to me, honestly, for an episode. Oh, wow. Yeah, or cricket. I love cricket. I don't know the rules of cricket. You've got deep knowledge. You just don't recognize it. I love cricket.
Starting point is 00:30:55 But I think the fun challenge of the podcast would be to try and get the other person excited about something outside of their wheelhouse, but very much inside of their own. This is the last one tim so make it count do you want to read it should we do one word each yep hey timmy timmy tam tam and guy mont bang bang love the and oops pod and glad you guys are back for season five regarding boner patrol who would you guys think would have featured in previous seasons of boner patrol mrs yes coffee guy big titted nanny patty schwartz any of or any of the gals zach or emily dick but oh by the way did you boys see that patty dick.
