Welcome to the friendzone, in the friendzone, you're always home, in the friendzone, you're not alone, anytime, with Tim and Guy.
It says here Tim that you did an AMA.
I tell you what I did do, some pretty strong mushrooms. Oh, and is that when you did your AMA? I'll tell you what I did do. Some pretty strong mushrooms.
Oh, and is that when you did your AMA?
Yeah.
Was that on Friday?
Yeah, that's right.
Can you tell me what was the occasion?
I did some mushrooms on the weekend as well.
Sick.
But not with you.
You went to a sporting match.
Yeah, I didn't do an AMA.
You did an ABM, an All Blacks match.
That's right.
I was actually with our
friend Tom Furness. How is Tom?
He's great. We had honestly
such a nice night and we
sat down next to each other
and we're just sort of nattering away, catching
up and there was this guy,
sort of the game had started and it was a pretty boring start
to the game at the first 10 minutes. Not a lot was happening.
Real slippy ball, all in the middle
of the park. Nothing of interest and we're just nattering away about our lives and work or
whatever and then this guy sitting in front of us like turns around and he goes you guys actually
watching you the game and we said like it totally punctured our world and we're like oh whoa i yeah
sorry yeah okay man yeah whatever you you got it And we're sort of like laughing but also feeling a bit shamed.
You know that horrible feeling of being an adult and being in trouble
or that feeling you get inside yourself.
And Tom was like, yeah, well, you know,
I guess some people come to the game to watch the game
and some people come to the game and catch up
and we're on the wrong side of that equation.
And then after he said that, we sort of laughed
and then the guy turned around he goes you know what
i probably was a little hard on you and we were like oh okay and he's like yeah it's been
been a pretty shit start to the game we're like okay so this guy was really he was taking it out
on you the fact that the game wasn't going well he just heard our response which wasn't like anger
it was just like sort of a measured like you't like anger Yeah yeah yeah It was just like
Sort of a measured like
You genuinely took it on board
Yeah and he was like
Oh I was
I probably like
Oh look
Ruined that conversational flow
And then anyway
He keeps looking at us
And then he goes to me
This guy's
He has to turn around
To kind of engage with you yeah
Big time
So he has to betray the one thing
He wants everyone to do the most
Which is watching the game
And he goes Have I seen you on TV2 or TV3?
And I said, I don't know.
And he said, have I seen you on the TV?
And then I said, maybe.
And he goes, yeah, yeah, I have.
Is it hard being a comedian?
And he spends 70 minutes of this All Blacks match just staring at us and asking us questions.
Wow.
It was fucking crazy.
Anyway.
How was the vibe eventually with that dude?
Do you feel like you got very convivial with him?
So convivial.
He brought together the entire community of people around us were all suddenly really friendly.
There was a family to my left and there were some all-blacks,
some couples who were there to watch the all-blacks on our right.
And he was in the middle of a big line of people
who had travelled down from Whangarei to watch the game.
And everyone sort of-
Those people from Northland, they don't fuck around.
Yeah, he's one of those guys.
They're there to watch the footy.
And honestly, it was such a wonderful experience.
It was so cool.
How strong were the mushrooms that you and Tom took?
That you took?
Can't speak for Tom.
They were, I think they're from the same batch.
But I only took a small, I took enough that everything was a bit wavy and funny,
but not so much that I was untethered from, you know, where I was.
It's also funny because Eden park is a 50,000 seat
venue i think there's like 48,000 people there you know and you i'm like you'd imagine you've
got anonymity in a 48,000 seat stadium but i ran into like three i ran into a guy i went to high
school with who i used to play tennis with and he was like wanting to catch up and hang out and i was like you know i wanted to get through a brief catch-up but he was like hey man what are
you doing let's go get a drink and i was like nah nah yeah maybe a coffee and sobriety but no it was
a great night and they were um i i would say that i perfectly judged my dose to what I wanted. That's good. But, I mean, this is all a sidebar to you.
Captain Friday Night AMA.
Walk me through it.
What was the situation?
Oh, I had the house to myself.
Zoe was in Wellington for the weekend.
Yeah.
So decided to try that batch of mushrooms to see how strong they were.
So measured out a gram.
I've got little drug weights weights now that's how in the
game i am yeah wow a gram and a gram is that's the record it's like a yeah you know mushrooms so yeah
like it's a decent dose it was enough to be and quicker than i thought about within 30 minutes
it's like oh yeah these work yeah yeah this is on they take you up and take you down quite quickly there's not a huge tail
yeah it was good um but i well i kind of yeah i took a bit a gram was a bit and then i just ended
up um smashing a few beers and uh smoking a little marijuana to level out it's been a nice night but
i am i went into a real deep dive of Dave Chappelle
because I was just kind of fucking around on the internet
and the algorithm deigned me with a little Dave Chappelle gift
of a couple of his interviews.
Oh, yeah.
Then he started talking about the whole experience
of the Comedy Central, like what happened with Chappelle's show.
What interview were you watching?
I can't remember.
I don't know.
But he covers the same ground in a few of those.
And then I was like, fuck, I've never watched the show.
I've only ever seen clips, but I've never seen the show as the show.
And now it's on Netflix.
And he got paid for it to be on Netflix.
Yeah, he managed to.
Because it was that. Yeah, he managed to. Because it was that.
Yeah, that's right.
I saw an interview and then I watched a bit,
which I don't even know if it's from one of the specials.
It's just a clip he put out.
He put it on Instagram.
The industry is a monster.
Where he has this fucking great line where he says,
I mean, of course, it's Dave Chappelle.
The guy's good.
He goes, you know, I've gone through a version of what,
we're grappling with the same beast.
This whole Me Too moment is happening,
and that is women trying to deal with the way that this monster fucks,
and I'm trying to deal with the way this monster eats.
But it's the same monster.
I was like, damn, man.
And so i started watching
chapelle's show and it fucking rules as you would expect yes oh wonderful and so you watched
interviews and then chapelle's show and then you did an ama oh it's just like on twitter you know
yeah at the computer was that fun uh yeah it was fine it was all good I read some of my replies after the fact
And I was like this doesn't make sense Tim
This answer to this question
That's always interesting when you write things down
When you read it back
You know what I did
Fuck all of that
Do you know what was happening on Twitter though
I saw
This person had tweeted
These Disney videos That came out just after 9-11.
Yeah, yeah.
I've watched those.
The flag videos.
How fucking terrifying.
Those are like, that is present day click hole satire.
Those videos, you know.
But they're real.
They're real.
For the uninitiated who weren't doing mushrooms on the weekend and went down a youtube rabbit hole via twitter they're these
videos they got made uh in the wake of 9-11 and they're all child stars it's like miley cyrus um
shia labeouf uh i didn't see miley hillary duff oh hillary yeah maybe actually yeah maybe i was
thinking hillary duff they're even the cast of even stevens lizzie mcguire a handful of sort of at the time peak disney shows huge for the kids
and they're just like they're all talking about how important the flag and you can sort of they're
seeing flags everyone it's like bring a tear to their eye and it's like this is fucking this is
a worry this is what if you look at it with hindsight, it's genuine wartime propaganda. Yeah, it is. It's two children, aimed two children from the Disney.
And you can also see how the production worked when they were filming the ads,
where it was like a director, and they were like,
just talk about the flag and say some stuff about what the flag means.
And they're not thinking about what they're –
do you buy their passion about what they're talking about?
Or do you just feel like they're people who are like,
this is in your contract.
And it's like, when I see the flag flying, it makes me,
Melissa Joan Hart was in it.
But I mean, that was just the conversation that was happening at the time.
I remember that.
I remember being like, how old would I have been?
2003.
You would have been about 11.
No, no, no.
I'm thinking this was when they first launched into Afghanistan.
And they like, I remember fucking watching the news and they were
doing a countdown i was like there's no way this is actually happening they're not actually going
like america's not actually going to go into afghanistan because i guess i was so young and
i watched them fire those missiles and i was like what the fuck is going on yeah crazy times
fucking crazy i just wanted to um to circle back one thing to say.
When you were reading what you wrote on mushrooms
and you're like, this doesn't make sense, Tim,
could you pass through that to see what you were trying to articulate?
Didn't spend any time on it, Guy.
Okay.
Simply no time.
Do you know what both of us did, though, this weekend?
It was opened for Ronnie Chang, who's in New Zealand.
It was pretty fucking hype.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you did it last week.
I did it last week, but yeah, it was great.
And you got to watch his show, which is very funny.
God, it's good.
He's got one of the best Netflix specials out right now,
Asian Comedian Destroys America.
And he's got an upcoming Marvel movie.
What is it called?
Ten Rings or something?
And he's got a new Netflix contract.
He's got two more specials and a docu-series coming out for Netflix.
But we saw him working out his next Netflix hour.
And the guy is funny.
Who knew?
I guess the algorithm that commissions at Netflix did.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
That's the movie that's coming out.
He's in the MCU, baby.
Oh, yeah.
And did you enjoy that?
Had a ball. Did you get nervous yeah i did which is interesting because it's like just at the classic studio it's a small room it is
but it was played a million times someone else's show i'm so used to like hosting my own lineups
and stuff that's like well if i bomb this is my show so who cares it's on me but it's like this is someone else's thing i've been
invited to come and not bomb it yes interesting approach to comedy is not to be funny it's to not
bomb well you know if you're funny that's great but ultimately the goal is just not die on your
ass i yeah i my goal is to be fun i always think i'm gonna be funny all right i want
to be funny of course um well that's cool and you had a lovely meal with them bar celeste they're
not paying us out but they make fucking good food i had a meal there with uh chelsea and some friends
before we saw courtney barnett and every every plate they brought out was 10 out of 10.
And we were like, this is, God, it was a good time.
And then you said you went there and I was like, God damn, that's great.
Life's good.
Yeah.
It's not the same for everyone everywhere though, that's for sure.
Yeah, I know.
I started to riff about that on stage.
Did you? Which is, it's room specific. And I'll tell you about that on stage. Did you?
Which is room specific.
And I'll tell you about it off mic.
Okay.
I'm not going to do jokes on the mic.
I'll do jokes, but I'm not going to do stand up.
Okay.
Is that okay?
Yeah, that sounds good by me.
We've got correspondence because that's what we do.
We get correspondence from you, our friends, and we read it. Here's what happens do we get correspondence from you our friends and we read it
here's what happens you send us messages we read them yeah a lot of those other shows that are out
there you send the messages they don't fucking read them and to our credit unless we're doing
the friend zone we don't really i fucking would you would i absolutely would. I absolutely would. You could. I'd read every single one of them.
You could, but you don't.
Yeah, those other shows can go to hell.
Every show that isn't this worst idea of all time show can go to hell.
Straight to hell, boy.
Shall I start or shall you start?
You should start.
Okay. At your insistence.
This reads as follows here it comes everybody get ready hold on to your butts a police ah just praise for an episode a police
officer of sex is a killer rep laughing loud loud and often. Lovely.
Nothing not to like about that.
I think that was... Was that the Alice Sneedon one?
Couldn't tell you.
No, you couldn't.
But neither could I.
$30 has come our way, guy.
$30 US dollars.
Okay.
Not our stupid dollars.
That's good news.
The right kind.
From Nathan.
Thank you so much, Nathan.
Nathan writes the following.
I'm currently freezing my ass off in Austin, Texas,
and have been binging TWIOAT while the world around me devolves into an icy wasteland.
We have no electricity, heat, and the water is going,
but you boys have been helping keep morale up.
Cheers.
Damn, man.
Yeah, this was February, mid-Feb.
That was a dramatically bad time.
I hope you're doing all right, Nathan.
I hope everything's back on.
Probably is because it's August now.
Yeah, I feel like Austin bounced back.
Thank you for the $30.
Crazy time to spend it.
Yeah. You might go buy some kindling.ling but no why don't you line our pockets that's why you're the best fan there's a bible
parable about that it's one of the only ones that i remember from from uh when i was a kid
and learned a few bible parables give money to the church when you're at your lowest ebb
there's two people who donate to the church.
There's a real rich guy who gives like a bunch of coins.
And then there's a woman, a sickly woman who gives like one coin.
And I don't even know who does the assessment.
Jesus, maybe a priest.
She's like, that woman rules.
She's going to heaven.
And the rich guy's like, what the fuck?
I gave like 50 times the amount she did.
And the guy's like, nah, it's comparative to what she had the rich guy's like, what the fuck? I gave like 50 times the amount she did. And the guy's like,
nah,
it's comparative to what she had.
She gave it all,
baby.
If you divorce it from Christianity,
there's a value in the message.
But the idea of the church encouraging that is...
Yeah,
in retrospect...
Unsettling.
Not the best parable for me to hold in isolation.
Hello,
you fantastic chaps. my word aren't you both just brill i don't know man i don't know about that i just woke up oh good sleep yeah pretty
good it was a long sleep we had such a cute weekend with Olive. Yeah? Yeah, it was so good. Awesome. Yeah, man.
You may or may not have heard, but at the time of this message,
myself and the rest of Greater Sydney, Australia,
are legally required to not leave our homes as a result of an outbreak
of something called COVID-19.
Yeah, it's this thing that Guy has been steadfastly pro for the last two years.
It's fucking wild.
Luckily, I know I'm safe because Guy mentioned it's a fake virus
and I take his word as gospel.
That is not what I said.
That is what you said.
Tim, I won't stand for your slander.
That is what you said.
Why would the person email us and remind you of a quote that you made?
Track my tweets.
One of the earliest anti-COVID-19 people out there.
I'm against it.
I even got a joke about it.
People keep calling it the novel coronavirus.
Hey, Tim,
am I the only person who thinks the novelty
is well and truly worn off?
You moments ago told me
that you would not be doing stand-up on this podcast.
Well, fuck you.
As I write this,
I'm listening to the latest podcast in a tree episode
and I've absentmindedly climbed around three meters high.
Whoa, cool.
In a gorgeous jacaranda tree.
Jacaranda.
You surround me.
I'm in a tree.
And it says here, side note, butte condition, fantastic plumage named Quarantina.
Quarantina is a good name.
Just want to express the deep content that listening to your podcast,
Wilson and Tree, brings me.
This message gets read out in the friend zone.
I'd like to endorse the experience to any and all listeners.
It's a right good time.
You're both such good chaps.
Thanks for all you do.
From your listener in the tree, Ben.
I would like to say this.
Thank you, Ben, for this correspondence.
And I'm so glad that you climbing a tree while listening to the podcast
has provided this content,
especially in what is an incredibly challenging time
for our friends in Australia.
We don't like it.
I will say that.
That guy might be pro-virus,
but we're both incredibly anti-hard times for Australians. You can't like it I will say that Guy might be pro-virus But we're both Incredibly anti
Hard times
For Australians
You can't deny it
We love Australians
I think
Here's what Guy reckons
In the first season
I remember we were
We were sort of reeling
From the fact that anyone was listening
And we'd say
We want to know
Where you're listening
Send us a photo
I
Take such deep satisfaction In the idea of people listening
to podcasts in a tree, in a tree.
There's a different feeling you have, feet off the ground,
sitting in a tree, climbing in a tree,
than you do when you are down here on the earth.
So anyone, if you can safely do so, if you're listening to podcasts
in a tree, in a tree, please take a photo and send it to us either on the Facebook or on Twitter at twioatpod.
I'd love to see people listening to Podcasts in a Tree.
We've had a handful.
I know this probably would have been a good message to fang out when Podcasts in a Tree was being released.
But people who have listened to Podcasts in a Tree on the ground, it's like you've listened to half the podcast.
If you really want to experience the podcast,
if you want to know what it's like, get up a fucking tree.
So thanks, Ben.
I hope that you're looking after yourself in lockdown.
As anyone who's listened to this in lockdown, I would hope that.
And good on you.
And it is real, the virus.
So I don't know where you're getting your information, but respect it.
Stay safe and look after yourself. And it is real, the virus. So I don't know where you're getting your information, but respect it. You.
Stay safe and look after yourself.
The subject line for this email is Emmanuel episode 21 and it begins thusly.
Dear cold men, Guy states, quote, I'd love to see,
what is this word?
Nidoking.
Oh, Nidoking.
That's so funny.
Out of context of the Pokemon world.
Put the emphasis all on the wrong bit.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen just absolutely going hammer and tongs.
I'd like to assure Guy that this is a possibility very much open to him,
being a mere Google search away.
Best wishes, Nick. Lit's out. very much open to him being a mere google search away best wishes nick
let's out
pokemon niddo queen and niddo king sex sex porn images i believe in internet circles this is
referred to as rule 34 from memory about rule 34 what's rule 34 uh if it exists there is
pornography of it oh oh wow these guys are really giving it to each other
uh some good artists using their time expertise i've got, you know, I didn't even punch this in,
but now I'm looking at Nidoking and his monstrous hog
and just wedged on the end of it while he's finishing off
the ghost Pokemon Genghis.
Gengar.
Gengar.
Holy hell.
I guess, yeah, people want to see that.
Too early in the morning for me.
I'm not going to look at your screen.
Yeah, fair enough.
But Lizzie from Acast, she does some money directly.
What the fuck?
Lizzie, you've sent over seven bucks.
We love Lizzie.
Lizzie is, so Acast is our platform that hosts our podcast
and i gotta say they're fucking cool yeah they're great and they hope they've got a stable of
incredible podcasts oh yeah all the best ones and uh lizzy sent over some bucks and said this is
mostly for alice's impression of rudy gi. Love Lizzie from Acre.
Well, sorry Lizzie, but Alice isn't going to get a freaking dime of that.
No, she isn't.
Not on our watch.
You want to turn that heater off behind you?
Are you getting too warm?
I reckon.
Unless you're not.
I'm just going to lower it.
Sure.
Sounds like a good compromise.
Yeah, that's what friends do.
Guy Montgomery and Tim Bette are the picture of what a good marriage is made of.
Compromise, getting the work done, having fun together.
Looking up images of Pokemon, having sex with other Pokemon online.
To satiate.
We do what we can.
Guy's unique tastes.
And I support him in that.
Thank you.
So we read a,
this is a callback to a previous
message from Dunna
who
From Ireland.
Yeah,
you got it.
And they
wanted to send a screenshot
because
they,
we read the message
and they said
that they'd given us
an acknowledgement
in their dissertation.
Yes.
And I said, thank you. Sort of, we just read this on the friend zone, whatever. And then now they said, they'd given us an acknowledgement in their dissertation. Yes. And I said, thank you.
And sort of we just read this on the friend zone, whatever.
And then now they said, ah, balls, I completely forgot to send the screenshot.
And so I will now read the acknowledgments from Dana's dissertation.
A huge thank you to Elaine Walsh as my ever-encouraging,
always patient dissertation supervisor.
There would have been many more sleepless nights without her assistance
throughout this process.
I don't need to hear about her.
Skip to the good stuff.
Thank you to Tim and Guy
for providing the soundtrack to this dissertation
and making me proud to be a member of the friend zone.
And then it says to Meg and Steve
and it tastefully crops there.
Well, I'm very excited to see that my name came before Guy's
in the acknowledgements.
Yeah.
Thanks, Dunner.
Doing that classic reverse alphabetical thing.
I'm cool with that.
This reads, my fellas.
So you're going to say humps.
Hey, fellas.
Not my.
Hey, fellas, my brother.
Hey, fellas, my brother Finn is such a fan of you two.
This is like watching a toddler put a jigsaw together.
It's like watching a brilliant mind read a fucking letter, you prick.
Hey, fellas, my brother Finn is such a fan of you two.
I recently sat through a Rob Schneider stand-up show
where his family connections to Mexico and some part of Asia
allowed him to say whatever racist shit he liked.
Every agonizing second of the special
was disturbed by Finn telling me
what you two had felt about it.
Finn is a fucking amazing man
and he speaks about you in the most beautiful way.
If there is anything you can do to mention him
or send a video or something to him,
it would be massive.
My apologies if this message is taxing or if you get too much this
kind of thing but i just think it would be so brilliant if you saw this and could help me out
i just wanted to let you know that my mate thinks you're fucking legends i'm so sorry to burden you
with this news dude we love this shit who would you listen to an entire episode of a podcast, which is just that. Giving itself a goddamn handjob on the air.
So, yeah.
Do we need to do something separate for Finn?
Or does this constitute enough?
This?
I think we could say Finn.
Let me address Finn and Finn only right now.
Yeah.
It's Finn with one N, by the way.
Not a double N n so it's
finn that's critical finn i don't know where you are like in the world or in your life but i will
say this i reckon good things are coming your way brother oh what gives you that sense got a vibe
okay got a vibration gave me the clue yeah what do you think is coming for Finn dear Finn
this week
tomorrow
it's going to be a banger
you're going to wake up
and you're going to have
sometimes you wake up
and you're just like
I've got exactly
how much energy I need
to do whatever I need today
I've never experienced
that in my life
Finn's got that coming
that's so good
that's how I feel today.
That's crazy.
Perfectly energized.
I have also got two coffees.
That'll do it.
That'll do it.
This will be the last message I read on this friend zone.
All right.
At your insistence.
Friend zone?
Message for the boys.
Dear Burlog and Gyratron
Long time listener
First time gentleman caller
I've been a big fan of Deathblart
and now that I've been saturated with McElroy juices
I've kicked myself for not twio-atting sooner
I force-fed all of Deathblart to my fiancé
during a cross-country trip
and it was a delight to watch her slowly come round and by the most recent episode listen to her genuinely crack up wow she had to work so hard
to get into it that's hours of content before a positive reaction was elicited the writer continues
and i can safely say she's a fan now and we can go ahead with the wedding.
I also dragooned her sister into witnessing the YouTube pilot, which was a blast.
Lots of genuine laughs.
I'm slowly spreading your podcast seed around my friends and family like a true zealot.
Now, I'm just going to take a breath.
This is Tim talking now.
Hi, Tim.
Do you know what dragooned the verb means it's it's like a um fun way of saying coerce yeah i think that's right i think that's right i don't know which is
not necessarily a fun word but it's i i assume it's like dragooning someone is like sort of
coercing them persuading persuading would be the euphemistic way of saying it. In that one paragraph comprising just two
sentences, my first
brush with dragoons
was in Starcraft. And another
unit that you can get in Starcraft is the Zealot.
Both Protoss.
One's a ranged
thing that fires like an energy projectile.
Zealot's a
high impact melee
fighters.
Anyway, I just really wanted to say,
Pitch a Porno with George Lazenby is the single funniest segment
I've heard in my adult life.
I look forward to it every week,
and eventually I'll make a supercut of it
and force-feed it to the rest of my friends
to try and get them on the Little Empire train.
Keep fighting the good fight, you brave fuckboys,
and say my name, Tyler Fadden.
Tyler Fadden.
Thank you.
Tyler's the coolest guy I know.
Really?
I've said it.
Shit.
Yeah, Tyler Fadden fucking rules.
That's awesome.
Yeah, that guy kicks ass.
I've got another callback.
Actually, we're setting up threads
that are spanning arcs of the friend zone now.
Cool.
So you might remember
Marshall
from Mississippi,
Who's there?
It's Marshall
from Mississippi.
He,
Mrs. M,
Mrs. I,
Mrs. S,
wait,
what is it?
M-I-S-S-I.
You would not
pass muster
in Miss Honey's class.
Oh,
fuck,
I wouldn't take.
He, anyway, you remember he sent us, fuck, I wouldn't, eh?
Anyway, you'll remember he sent us a message,
broke college student, got into a pretty gnarly car crash.
We read it on the friend zone.
So he's given us an update.
Hey, boys, I know I'm super late, but it's been a tough time.
I just wanted to update you like you are, so I've been doing good. My back is still sore and I've got two killer scars,
but I've gotten far enough that I can live on my own again.
Oh, man, that's huge progress.
Tim, your advice was pretty good.
It helps me keep my head straight when I get anxious,
which has been very often in the past couple of months.
Once again, thank you guys for the show.
It brightens my day every time.
Marshall, to whom we will continue to wish a speedy recovery
and nothing but the best.
Yeah, I'm always kind of loathe to give anyone advice on anything,
but that was a tricky spot you're in,
and sometimes it can be helpful to hear from people who've got their head above water when you were
doing a furious doggy paddle just to stay afloat you know what i'm saying i know what you're saying
so um i'm really glad that it it resonated helped a little bit, Marshall. I love it too. Hey, Tim. Sup.
How do you spell arse?
A-S-S, personally, because I'm so Americanized.
But really, owing to my colonial roots and lineage that I can trace directly back to England and Ireland and Scotland,
it should be A-R-E-C.
Arse.
I'm a traitor.
Interesting. How about you. I'm a traitor. Interesting.
How about you?
I go both ways.
Yes, you do.
That's it.
I'm not going to read
anything else.
Please keep sending us correspondence.
We love it. Please keep living your best
life.
Please keep sending us correspondence.
We love it.
Please keep living your best life.
Have you ran out of steam at the end here?
No, I'm just thinking about what note I want to end on.
Oh, okay.
Check out YouTube.com if you haven't.
YouTube.com, an incredible website.
It's a repository of videos.
The way we used to use it was fun because you'd go on there and you'd enter a search term.
But now the way people use it is they just go YouTube.com and then go,
all right, artificial intelligence, present me with entertainment.
Yeah.
I mean, what else do you want from life?
Do you want meaning?
Do you want value?
Do you want interpersonal connection?
Fuck all of that. give me a powerful algorithm
if you spend enough time on the YouTube algorithm
it will conjure versions of that
which far surpass whatever
make believe world you've created in your mind
also the Olympics are finished now
but you can watch old Olympics videos
so the Olympics never finished on YouTube.com
also they gave us a bunch of money to
make a pilot and then they told us to go fuck ourselves our words good times yeah so um hopefully
we've dragooned you into spending a bit of time on youtube.com and um you're going to enjoy that. Well, we're going to go and check in on Jeff Bezos over on the Patreon.
God, can't wait to hear how he's doing and how Tim's doing.
Only time will tell.
Goodbye, everybody. In the friend zone, you're always home In the friend zone, you're not alone
Anytime
With Tim and Guy
