The Worst Idea Of All Time - Friendzone 157

Episode Date: September 14, 2022

Tim’s been isolating due to a rare virus called Covid-19 and Guy has been doing whatever it is that Guy does. Armed with beer and alcoholic kombucha, the fellaz posit a realistic advertising ca...mpaign for boozers before delving into New Zealand's rich history of super intense ads that show people getting frickin wasted. The mailbag has correspondence from listeners in Toronto telling us about milk stout and American listeners who are spending time with Carrie Bradshaw. The vibe is good, despite Guy being a Zuck Cuck. Shout out to Happy Hour Kombucha and this playlist Tim made for them.Check out Did Titanic Sink wherever you listen to your podcasts: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2018856707/did-the-titanic-sink-new-rnz-podcast-seriesTWIOAT Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Website / SubstackGUY Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / WebsiteTIM Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Website Hosted on Acast.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the friendzone, in the friendzone, you're always home, in the friendzone, you're not alone, anytime, with Tim and Guy. Ba-ba-ba-ba-dum, ba-ba-ba-dow. Ha-ha-ha. Is it Backstreet Boys? Is that what I'm doing? Yep, that's Backstreet's Back. All right. They go... What do they say?
Starting point is 00:00:39 They say... They keep asking the fellas. They go, am I sexual? Am I original? Yeah. And all the guys are like, yeah. I love it. Am I sensual?
Starting point is 00:00:53 I believe is one of them. They say sexual and sensual. I think so. What's the difference? Sexual is more raw, more animalistic. Sensual has that veneer of society about it, that draped elegance. I'm thinking of a purple
Starting point is 00:01:08 crushed velvet curtain on top of raw sexuality. Would you think of them as synonyms? No. They're similar but they're different. What's a synonym for sexual? I can't think of one. All I've got is horny and that's
Starting point is 00:01:24 different. They're different so it's not a synonym What's a synonym for sensual? Might be one of a kind as well Delicate What? I don't know man Look You've painted yourself into this
Starting point is 00:01:37 Don't you lash out at me Don't you lash out at me Guy Montgomery I haven't painted a single thing You're a real piece of shit, Guy Montgomery. I'm actually cool and nice. Hi, everybody. Hi, Tim. Welcome to the friend zone.

Starting point is 00:02:02 I know. Worst idea shit. We took out our calendars. Which is pretty cool. and we went through them together and in our world that's doing business baby yeah man Killian here's
Starting point is 00:02:11 rounding to a close pretty soon I think we've got two episodes left to come out and I tell you what it was a very experimental move from us the Killian here TV
Starting point is 00:02:20 season I think it deserves to be called a season yeah lot of work mainly from me yeah let's be honest TV season. I think it deserves to be called a season. Yeah. A lot of work, mainly from me. Yeah. Let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Not going to lie. But an interesting experiment in video production. One thing that I've kind of like we have failed to highlight is that it's called Kill Your Nerd TV. The full video of them is on the Substack. And we really don't talk about that at all. And we really should. Yes. So if you want to check those out and or support us,
Starting point is 00:02:54 you're supporting us now by listening to us. But if you want to support us more, you've got to substack.com. The videos are cool. There's lots of little treasure. You get to see the people. You get to see us in our Kill You Need studio. And there's lots of little visual. You get to see the people. You get to see us in our Killian Air studio, and there's lots of little visual tricks and treats and gags and not got a word that rhymes with gags.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Gags and goofs. Gags and japes. Yeah. Not rhyming, but it's gags and japes the synonym. Yep. Got some good japes. Got some good gags. Yeah. Yeah. You got one, Tim. You hooked a synonym. Kill've got some good japes got some good gags yeah yeah you got you got one tim you
Starting point is 00:03:27 hooked a synonym kill you near tv yeah it's not then that in itself is not just a gag that it's on the radio there's legitimately video there's a video component that was non-ironically titled duh how are you guy pretty good pretty good tim Pretty good, Tim. What's been happening? So much happening. I've done some stand-up comedy recently. And look, I was pretty funny. Yeah, man. Not always as funny as I was trying, but funny enough that I think anyone who saw it would have thought that was a good time.
Starting point is 00:03:57 You did a gig last night that I was supposed to host, but I've been a homebody. Yeah. Because my wife got COVID again. Rude That's what I said to her when she got the positive result And then every morning she'd take a rat And she was still negative And I'd go
Starting point is 00:04:13 You mean still positive Oh yeah And you got Remy doing sound effects too Didn't you I did Remy doing sound effects too, didn't you? Yeah, I did. Remy would go, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. It is my infant son's first birthday in three days.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Oh my gosh. Wild. Yeah. I can't wait to celebrate. Wild stuff. Every year I'm going to put a dollar into a bank account for Remy. One dollar per year. And in two, three years' time, who knows how much money that'll be.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I do. It's two or three dollars, depending on when you've done the count. Inflation? He's got me. What is inflation? Exactly. You'd know. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:05 It's when the number goes up But we don't want it to Yeah You need it to by a little bit It's when the You want it to go up by about 3% Why do I want that? Because we're in an economic system That demands constant growth
Starting point is 00:05:17 But if you get out ahead of your skis The whole thing fucking stops working Big time And if it's any lower than three percent you go oh we're not growing enough that's bad and then people worry the whole thing's horseshit mate tim i'll give you the long and short of it go on i'm good we've moved through what i've found to be a brutal winter here spring is springing the grass is riz i just lost my wife and kids. Untrue. Things are great at home. We got to find them, man.
Starting point is 00:05:51 We simply must stop recording podcasts and go and find your whanau. How are you? I'm good. Thank you for asking. I'm pretty happy to be out of like ISO, you know. Dodged the bullet. Didn't catch it. Nah, I won't have another drink. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Guys, very tactfully, silently offering me some more booze off mic. A beer. But here's the thing. And actually, do you know what? I'm going to give them a shout out. Can I? Can I shout out a company? Tim.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Of course. Is this the right one? I don't know if they're outside New Zealand, but if you're in New Zealand, grab yourself a happy hour hard kombucha because they um they dm me on instagram and they were like can you make a playlist for us i was like yeah okay so then i did and then i forgot to like repost their um story because i don't really yeah like instagram very much um but they sent me a few of these and like i've just been quietly getting quite chopped because you don't you kind
Starting point is 00:06:45 of forget it's got booze in it because you're drinking kombucha because you're drinking kombucha but it's four and a half percent alcohol i kind of like what i like about kombucha because i've drunk a bit of kombucha in my time is it kind of you know it kind of tastes like shit in the same way that your first beer tastes like shit and so it's actually a pretty healthy alternative to having a beer because you're like this is a somewhat challenging drink healthy in the like personal growth sense yeah um it's good for your guts right kombucha yeah yeah that's good for your microbiome or something it's got the goods it's got the little thing about having a beer as much as i love it it's poison and the first beer you have tastes terrible.
Starting point is 00:07:27 And that's an honest response to what the actual taste of beer is. We coach ourselves into enjoying it. But the fact of the matter is it tastes bad because you're drinking a cup of fermented poison. Yeah. Yeah. And I love it. Both of those things can be true.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I saw an ad for a tequila recently. It was just a beautiful woman with flawless skin next to a bottle of tequila. She could have been advertising anything. It's very hard to advertise a consumable good like booze on a page. That woman looks like she enjoys a tequila from time to time. If you want to sell me on the value of this tequila, show me someone who's like given up everything for it.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Show me how badly this... Wow. How good this tequila is, how hard it could derail someone's life. Jesus. I want to see a guy who's like refinanced his house and lost his family
Starting point is 00:08:17 because he loves the tequila so much. And you can see that based on his blemished skin and the half-opened eyes. I want to see a picture of a beautiful woman who has like the most responsible relationship to and half-opened eyes. I want to see a picture of a beautiful woman who has the most responsible relationship to this high-end tequila. She's not even drinking alcoholic kombucha.
Starting point is 00:08:31 She's just drinking normal kombucha. Yeah. Give me the guy who's lost it all, and you can tell on his face. It's such a funny idea for a campaign guy. Go forth and make it. I feel like it'll be a um anti-alcohol campaign it'll be like one where the ads look like they're for traditional you know like traditional alcohol
Starting point is 00:08:51 ads or traditional spirits um ads and then the actual fine print and copy and the imagery is actually saying this is destroying society and drinking's not good it's like those um acc ads that have i think they've done the rounds a few times globally online the old virally yeah yeah so acc right international listener is this thing we've got because in new zealand at some point we were like fuck man we don't want everyone to just be suing everyone no one kind of benefits from that except lawyers so we invented this thing inside the government called the accident compensation corporation which is just a big fund that everyone pays into from their like
Starting point is 00:09:31 you know their earnings their salary and wages when they pay their taxes this is the sort of thing they'll have an american quaking in their boots absolutely it's the best kind of socialism there is and then if you fuck yourself up especially at work they pay you like 80 of your income while you get rehabilitated and no one gets sued yeah and we've got these ads because acc's job is like man it would be fabulous if we uh you know restricted the amount of payouts that we have to make so we'll teach people how to swim good to avoid drownings and not trip over coffee tables at home and to put bath towels outside of their showers so when they step on their tiled floors they don't slip and smack their heads so we had these psa's psa's made by acc and uh
Starting point is 00:10:21 they're real bait and switches yeah they're all framed like you know traditional ads for household products or whatever and then choccy bars one of them I think it's like a mum with your choccy bars muesli bars or something and she step onto a glass coffee table she just steps onto one of her kids dude she fucking nails herself yeah there's one with a guy like putting on like a solar guard like a paint protector outside his house up a ladder, and then the ladder goes and he fucking, he absolutely cakes it. He eats shit, you guys. Like, I think you're watching a dude become a paraplegic in real time in that ad.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It's nuts. And then the ad's like, hey, man, take it easy. Hey, man, get a spotter for your laddering. The gall of these ads to tell us to take it easy. It's like, you fucking take it easy put this on tv making me think i'm watching an ad for solar guard quite anyway tim i'm on meta i'm uh in the metaverse now i'm a huge i'm a huge fuck for zuck yeah uh so i'm having a lot of fun i'm in front of a digital rendering of the Eiffel Tower. Paris, the city of love. You know a joke I used to try and say?
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'd say, my love language? French. Fucking always ate it. Anyway, here in the metaverse, I've got a message from someone else who's in the metaverse. It's for us. My dearest Timbly Wimbly in the flesh. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I watched the, this will date the message a little new elvis biopic biopic it's totally up to you it always is it was fantastic and i had some legitimate heaving sobs by the end of it oh as i lay in bed i contemplated the life of elvis and i drew a connection from him oh to set him andler thank. I thought it was going to be us. That I only made from your show. Elvis had a lot of people that relied on him and made
Starting point is 00:12:08 money off his success and during the time when he was making movies he was forced to make more and more movies that ended up being bad just
Starting point is 00:12:15 to support the people around him. Even having to basically sell out to companies and doing boring family friendly content not being
Starting point is 00:12:21 able to go back to the music he loved for a time. While it may not be completely comparable to The Sandman, it really got me thinking. Love the work you beautiful men do. I'm also listening to Death Blart for maybe the 20th time.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And I think you definitely should spend more time with the McElroys. It doesn't have to be watching a bad movie. Maybe watch the best picture of the Oscars or something. Or something else completely unrelated. I'm not the content genius as you are anywho this message went a heck of a lot longer than i thought it would so i'll say so long for now and say my name robert truchel Robert Trueschel. Robbie Trueschel. Trueschel. Yes. And the Trueschel set you free.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Thank you, Robert. What do you think of all that, Tim? What do you think about the... It's an interesting parallel, isn't it? Elvis and the Sandman. I think the thing that really cooked Elvis, I think there was a few things. Was Elvis addicted to things yes
Starting point is 00:13:26 i don't get the sense that sandler's fallen into that he doesn't he doesn't strike me as a fiend of any i've got i've got a lot of love for the sandman and every time i come across him in an interview outside of the things he makes that i don't enjoy sure he seems like a very well-adjusted guy who's got an appropriate i think elvis you know it's it's the story of a lot of these early rock stars they lost a huge amount of creative control music's uniquely fucked as well like the film industry is bad but music man music music man i don't think adam sandler has a colonel tom hanks you know to really like grab every dollar before it gets in his bank account and force him to be on tour all the time and that kind of thing yeah i think um i can see the comparison but sandler seems to
Starting point is 00:14:21 be doing it in good faith of his own volition you know whereas alvis it felt like was being i mean don't get me wrong he's not a faultless guy but taken advantage of it's fucking like i saw it i think because of the sort of um promotion and discussions around this movie coming out i think the the algorithm foisted some later in life Elvis footage at me, and it's pretty sad. Yeah. Yeah, I've not watched it.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I've not followed the whole Elvis story. What is your YouTube algorithm looking like these days? What do you get served up when you open the front page? You'll pry it from my cold, dead hands, that information. Oh, my God, really? Yeah. No, it's honestly, it's just...
Starting point is 00:15:06 Have you been riding the algorithmic wave deep into the night? It's a lot of, it's just a lot of bullshit. Yeah. Mine's, yeah, mine's very boring. Yeah, mine's boring too. I bet yours is fucking interesting. It really isn't. Timby.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yes? Gee. Okay. Hope you're both well Is a long time fan On the back of the Latest friend zone I'll just pause here
Starting point is 00:15:30 This was sent on The 30th of July 2021 Wow I thought I'd throw Our name in the hat of tunes You might like Oh crap
Starting point is 00:15:41 They've sent me a music track And I'm not prepared for this The below track isn't even out yet So it's a sneaky preview Thanks for all the laughs Oh, crap. They've sent me a music track and I'm not prepared for this. The below track isn't even out yet, so it's a sneaky preview. Thanks for all the laughs and boner inspections. Stay frosty, gentlemen, and say my name, Mort. Oh, we've already done it? Maybe?
Starting point is 00:15:59 So this next message, which is the new one, was sent to us on the 17th of January, 2022. Okay. Flash forward six months. Timby, Guyana, thanks for the shout out on the friend zone. 140, gutted the link, Mike's situation didn't work out. Classic. This is too good.
Starting point is 00:16:16 But I hope you end up remembering to check us out when you get the chance. The song ended up coming out a while ago, but here's the Spotify link. Look, I've cooked the goose twice. So I'll just mark that as unread and we'll do the stance again in the future. I love it. I'm going to read a different one. Okay, you go. You read a different one.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Greg says on the 20th of Jan, Dear Tim Tim Timmeroo, Tim Timmeroo, and who's my big guy? Me. I was just listening to part 7 of the and just like that season when one of you mentioned
Starting point is 00:16:50 that only Carrie mentions Big's death when it hit me like lightning. The theory to end all theories. Now I've never seen the movies and only seen 5 minutes of the not canonical TV show but here are the facts
Starting point is 00:17:05 no one else mentions his death carrie is the narrator carrie is a bad writer carrie thinks the world revolves around her multiple other people in carrie's life have left new york city and they are treated as if they died mr big can't read taken together there is only one conclusion you can draw mr big left carrie and carrie can't text him because he can't read and because she cannot comprehend someone leaving her her mind has concluded that he must have died i like it well where did he go what is he doing i don't know but i'd love to hear some ideas say my name Say my name. Greg Fedewa. Thank you, Greg. I like, I mean, it is in keeping with Carrie's perception of the world and her reality that basically anyone making the decision to cut her off is dead.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah. Except for Samantha, who she maybe thinks she's texting an apparition or a ghost of Samantha. I imagine big probably is literally like two blocks over in the apartment he's always spoken about getting for himself so that they can have some space yeah and it's probably still trying to reach out and contact carrie who's got herself in such a flap she's totally oblivious like in the background of every shot and they cut this from the show it's like mr big coming into the room i'm gonna wipe it my mind went to like mr big locked himself
Starting point is 00:18:30 in a closet and he can't get out and just died in there okay that's dark i like it still ends up with him being dead though so it's probably not what happened dear Tim and Guy I'm a huge fan of your podcast If they've got the musical notation For you to have done that Great But also if you improvised it Which you did Great
Starting point is 00:18:53 And as of today Which is not today I love Ave Maria But was At some point today Yeah As of today I'm 27 Ergo
Starting point is 00:19:04 A real person According to James Reid from The Feelers. You're not even a real person until you're 27. I've been listening to you guys for the past five years. Fuck. And I want to thank you. Die, die. For an amazing experience. The Grown Ups live reading episode featuring your fellow New Zealander,
Starting point is 00:19:26 Melanie Linsky, was one of the greatest things I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. That's right. I read your typo, you dumb fuck. I can't speak for the- What a ruthless place to decide to do that. I can't speak for the experience of watching Grown Ups 2, but the moment where Taylor Lautner's character was gored by a deer
Starting point is 00:19:44 was a triumphant one in the extreme. Also, remember the Scotty Shitty Pants episode? That was absolutely heartbreaking. Please do not say my name if that ends up happening. Regards and
Starting point is 00:19:59 many happy returns without a sign off. I don't remember the Scotty Shitty Pants. Fuck. I don't remember. I don't remember that either. I shouldn't say this out loud because we shouldn't say things until we do them, but I think we should really try and get Melanie Linsky on the next season
Starting point is 00:20:18 as a guest. Do you reckon she'd come on? Very busy, very successful woman with a family. Yeah, it's true. But, I mean, it's not like we're not in range. Yeah. I just think she'd be so cool. She's probably my favorite person in Los Angeles, you know?
Starting point is 00:20:40 Not that I, like, know her personally, you know, really at all. But just from perceptions and whatever. She seems fantastic. She's just the best. Her and Chelsea are friends. Oh, your partner. Historic friends, yeah. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:20:56 Yeah. From acting? From acting and, I suppose, commonalities. Yeah. From acting and maybe a shared sense of taste, music, food. Okay. I thought you were dancing around something when you started the sentence, but now I get that you're just deconstructing the concept of a friend.
Starting point is 00:21:14 That is what I'm trying to do. So that was that message. Well, let's deploy Chelsea to get Melanie on the show. I could just DM her as well at some stage when we're back up and running. I refuse. Anna says this to you. No, it's sent to me. Hey, Frosty fellas, on episode seven of your series in Just Like That,
Starting point is 00:21:33 Tim offhandedly mentioned Riverdale. I'm unsure whether either of you have watched the show. Guy? He's nodding on the podcast. Have you watched Riverdale? He's shaking his head, everybody. I haven't either. But I wanted to suggest a particular method of viewing the series.
Starting point is 00:21:50 In early 2020, my high school buddies and I decided to have virtual watch parties, wherein we used a random number generator to decide which episode of Riverdale to watch. The series doesn't make any sense when viewed in chronological order, and the insanity only increases when viewed all shuffled up. We excluded the first season from this ritual because that season is the most grounded and has the slowest pace. This is a great way to watch. And be warned, but be warned,
Starting point is 00:22:21 you must keep track of which episode you've already seen because they do tend to blur together after a while and it becomes hard to recognize a re-watch if you say my name on the pod feel free oh sorry if you read this on the pod feel free to say my name and my pronouns are she her and that's from anne thanks and what what have i said that's fucking funny to you, you piece of shit? Tell me. You somehow managed to stumble upon a monosyllabic name, which is like a crazy thing to do. I rule.
Starting point is 00:22:55 And have never watched Riverdale, certainly don't intend to. Where are we at, guy? What's that timer say to you? It says to me, keep on rolling, baby. Keep on. You know what? Rolling, rolling, rolling say to you it says to me keep on rolling baby keep on you know what rolling rolling rolling to me all right partner you know what time it is keep rolling baby throw your hands up that was the golden age of ben stiller and music videos he played the valet hello again my frosty fellas. A pretty good album
Starting point is 00:23:25 actually. That's chocolate. Chocolate starfish! And the hot dog flavor water! That's codified language for something else. Do you know what a chocolate starfish is, Tim? Are we going to the carnival? We're getting some deep fried eats? It's not as
Starting point is 00:23:41 delicious as you think. Unless you love it. Hello again, my frosty fellas. The opening to the recent Friend Zone piqued my interest. You had me at Milk Stout.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Oh. I'm curious to know which brewery made said stout. And what are your impressions of it? Castles. Castles.
Starting point is 00:24:01 There we go. C-A-S-S-E-L. I can't remember if it's one or two L's. S. It's a Canterbury based brewery. I'm curious to know which brewery made Sidstow and what your impressions of it were. I actually have a podcast about beer
Starting point is 00:24:13 with dozens, count them, dozens of listeners. I'm pretty keyed in on the beer scene. In fact, I once fasted from food for Lent and only drank beer and clear liquids for the whole 40 days. Just as Jesus intended. You can Google my name and read more about it.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Oh, you did the 40 days. For 40 days and 40 nights and it rained and it rained and it rained and it rained and it rained. You've done Lent? You're not Catholic, are you? No, but I do Lent do you do what do you give up um not being uh sucking sucking i don't know i've got nothing give up sucking or not sucking i give up not sucking i suck for 40 days and 40 nights yeah which is pretty good when you think there's 365 of the suckers. Who fucking chose that number? 365?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah. Make it round. Honestly, rude. Is that a thing? It's like daytime, nighttime. We got to measure. Yeah, years. What is it?
Starting point is 00:25:17 One around the sun, isn't it? Fuck, who knows, man. Change the metric of time. Anyway. Take that upon yourselves, friend-zoners. Did you know milk stouts are called milk stouts because the brewers add lactose to them? Lactose is a sugar that brewers' yeast can't metabolize,
Starting point is 00:25:35 so that milky sweet sugar is in the final product, adding flavor, sweetness, and a denser mouthfeel. Isn't science grand? If you ever want to chat beer and or rugby, it often comes up on the pod, I can promise to increase your listenership by at least 30 people. And I have the metrics to prove it. Go ahead and say my name.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And feel free to plug the Toronto Beer Podcast. Or, of course, in Toronto term, they don't say Toronto. They say Toronto. If I wanted to discuss rugby and beer, I wouldn't have left Christchurch. My man. Okay. My freaking man here. I'm over it.
Starting point is 00:26:17 And, except in return, my gift to you both. A kiss. A mwah. A mwah. A mwah. Check this shit out. The message is grownups2. The donation amount, 20 US rucks. The contributor, John, hasn't specified whether he wants his last name read,
Starting point is 00:26:39 but has also got a mailing address. So I will read that now. No, I'm just kidding. I won't read john's address um thank you so much for that for that 20 donation um if you would like to donate and then have it acknowledged months and months after the fact go to worst idea of all time.com eva says dear timble shanks and Magical Mr. Geistofelis. Long time lurker.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Didn't think I've ever written in before. Have you got something to say? I'm proud of you for writing in. That's all I've got to say. But seeing as you're subjecting yourselves to yet more of the gals, a reminder this was sent on the 26th of Jan, at what point we were knee-deep in Carrie Bradshaw. But seeing as you were subjecting yourself...
Starting point is 00:27:32 Knee-deep in Carrie Bradshaw would be a great name for an article about Carrie getting back on the dating scene. I thought it pertinent to let you know what an inspiration you've been. On my own relationship with the four horse ladies of the sex-oc-palips, I think I didn't nail that portmanteau, but you see what Eva has done there. I've been around since season three, and listening back to you getting to know the girls so frightfully well, only to come right back for more a season later,
Starting point is 00:28:03 really made me miss my own time with them so many years ago. My buddy and I have been trying to find an excuse to do a podcast together for years and thought, he's a Sex and the City virgin, why not kill several birds at once? Now, we're in the middle of season two of The People vs. Carrie Bradshaw. That's really good. And it's exactly what the title implies. The woman is an absolute menace and she needs to be stopped. If you've ever wondered what it might be like for the rest of us
Starting point is 00:28:33 to ingest an overwhelming piece of media through the coffee filter of YouTube, brave boys, this is possible simulacrum. You've been my favourite idea You've been my favourite idea of all time since I found you Aww Isn't that so nice Thank you for never thinking this through long enough to realise

Say my name, and for God's sake, say the name of my podcast. Eva from The People vs. Carrie Bradshaw.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Great, great premise, title. I love it. And it's actually, it dovetails quite nicely, because this is something I want to talk to. Been tagged in a lot of it. It was a little bit ago, but just to bring everyone up to speed. John Corbett. Does that name mean anything to you, Tim?

Starting point is 00:30:20 That's right. We can all look forward to that. We are aware that it has been a different sort of year from the worst idea of all time, and we hope you've enjoyed it, but we are girding our loins. You've got to experiment sometimes. You've got to throw caution to the wind and be like, let's pursue this idea for a bit and then realize that video editing
Starting point is 00:30:40 is so much harder and more time-consuming than you first gave it credit for and then bemoan the fact that guy doesn't know how to do any of that stuff and then teach yourself how to do it and get them on late and then everyone gets a bit cheesed and uh you know then you're us that's what it's like to be us i don't know how i mean i say it i don't know how to do anything say it on stage I um that's a lie I mean you do say it but it's not true

Starting point is 00:31:51 You and Carlo, very happy to see you boys collaborating. And if you're not listening, get in. It's as funny as it is informative. And weirdly, it's both simultaneously, but also it's actually quite a difficult you've threaded the needle so beautifully like i'm getting so many laughs out of it and it's difficult to articulate exactly whether or not it's a comedy podcast or an information podcast yeah yeah yeah it's both in a way which isn't doing either a disservice. Thanks. That's so sweet. That's incredibly high praise. Thank you. It's been
Starting point is 00:32:25 a very interesting time consuming process to make it and not one that I will repeat. Well, this is how we learn. Did Titanic Sink is the name of the series and thank you Guy for shouting it out. It's my
