Hello and welcome to the Friend Zone, which is the name we give to an episode of the worst idea of all time podcast where we don't watch the movie.
Just a little in-between taster.
It's a zone for friendship, it's a safe space for conversation.
It's about getting together, swapping ideas, swapping drinks, swapping some potluck meals.
Today Tim's bought a melted tub of Neapolitan.
It's quite interesting.
It's more like a milkshake at this point though, the consistency
And the colour is less Neapolitan but more brown
Isn't it funny, because they're three different colours but brown wins out
Brown always wins out
If you put all the colours together, what do you wind up with Tim?
Always brown, every time
Every gosh darn time
So welcome along to this friendly room
How are you guy?
This friendly ambience
Tim, my friend
I am great, thanks
Life is wonderful, isn't it?
Every day is a blessing
Every kiss a gift
It's all there, it's there for all to see
Actually I've recently been incorporating the well-known podcast mantra
For a kiss is always a gift into my
comedy show i joined the the new zealand comedy festival uh but instead of saying um a kiss is
always a gift i say a christmas kiss is the ultimate gift it's a lovely little twist on
an old favorite an old favorite isn't it nice though that you can incorporate things that occur
you know,
in the online realm into the real realm?
Because they're separate realms.
Recontextualise that content.
What you guys didn't see, because obviously this is a podcast,
is Guy's eyes widened in a terrifying manner.
How are you, Tim?
I'm scared.
I'm scared of what I'm seeing happening on your face
when you discover that you can take things that were bits and bytes from the information superhighway and transpose them into
your real life. I've got a huge announcement for you Tim and anyone listening at home.
If we can raise together cumulatively 6.5 million American dollars.
Yes.
We could all move into a home together
in a little-known place called 204 Ocean Avenue in Marblehead.
All right?
Why would we want to do that?
Well, first of all, why not?
What do friends do?
They love hanging out with each other.
We could have pancakes for breakfast, waffles for dinner.
Brinner all the time.
But also
because... Brinner, I like that you just chucked that
in there like no one would notice.
Is that a commonly used turn of phrase
or is that a Montgomery-ism?
No, it's very popular. The thing is
that the home that I'm describing
Tim, is
the one in the same house from
Grown Ups 2. That of the fabled party scene
Far out
That thing's on the market
That's right
They've cleaned it up
There was a deer in there at one point
But it made very little mess
From memory
I'm not convinced
There was a deer in there
I think there were some
Very talented CGI artists
In there
In that house
Which are just as grubby
They shit everywhere
Potato, onion
You know
I mean what's the difference
Damn right.
You're putting them in a roast anyway.
All I'm saying is, I don't know how to campaign for this,
but if we can get the money together, we could be living together, all of us.
And that would be the ultimate friend zone.
Just a bunch of podcast fans.
Let's do the math.
I think the most reasonable expectation is an average donation would be like $10.
Okay.
So we're going to need to have 650,000 people
get involved with this project,
which is a timeshare.
I mean, you would get one day out of every 20 years.
If we can get $50 from people,
we only need 130,000 people.
If you pussy-ass, money-scrounging mother-effers
were willing to front $2,000 each,
we'd only need 3,250 of us.
That's a pretty good-looking timeshare.
Anyway, that's not what we're here to talk about.
The past is the past.
The past is the past.
And sometimes the past is the pastor.
Past pastor, Zicoli, every time.
That's right. The past participle of multiple bits of pastor is Zicoli. We pastor is a collie every time. That's right.
The past participle of multiple bits of pastor is a collie.
We're quite tired, Guy and I.
We've been working our little tail feathers off at the moment
doing comedy festival shows.
And we're also running a venue.
It's bloody, it's good work, but it's hard work.
A lot of people would say that your mouth can't chew that much food.
And I'd say, that's not how that goes.
You've bitten off more than you can chew yeah no one's ever said that your mouth can't chew that much
food apart from maybe my parents when I was younger and I would refuse to eat my vegetables
so I'd swallow it with water and I'd put a whole potato in my mouth and I wouldn't chew it because
I didn't like the taste I'd just swallow it whole with water did you enjoy potatoes though even
though you didn't like the taste did you like having them as part of you?
No, I didn't like,
for every like 100 grams of vegetables on my plate as a boy,
I would probably take on board one liter of water.
Wow.
Yeah.
You would have been waterlogged as a lad.
That's why I'm so fluid.
Fluid and flexible.
Most people are 60% water.
Guy Montgomery is 85%
I think most people are 85%
I don't know
I don't know
Hey, I'll tell you what, Guy
Were you going to say something super important?
I was going to move things along
Much like you were
So what we've
We asked for ages ago
Upon the announcement of Season 3
And we are your friends being our Selection
We asked for anyone who would like to
try their dab hand at an intro for us and what was the guy's name ashton johnston or ashton johnson
i think johnson i think was the guy who we um heard from in episode one that was his theme
i don't know if we're going to stick with it we might we might we might not it's in contention
but i want to play some other ones that we've got as well.
Just a couple that we've been sent in.
This one is from Chad Wilkins.
Some call them insane, some call them brave.
Their life will be a non-stop rave.
We are your friends.
Cinematic crime.
Let's hope they survive.
The worst idea of all time.
That is fucking outstanding.
That's really good work.
Tim, his arms were in the air.
Really good work from Chad.
Hot shit, Chad.
You've got to give it up for that one.
That's pretty fucking flawed.
No doubt.
Keep ruffling through them.
God damn.
I love the creativity of the people who listen to this potty
we got going. This one
is from TK
Delman.
Fuck yeah. It's the worst idea in the world.
Season three.
Fuck yeah.
That's good.
I really like, I love that that fade out.
Because I love in radio when people talk, you know, when you have a little talk bed.
Or like when you start talking over the end of something.
So it's fluid.
I really like that.
It's a classy touch.
Bloody good.
What's TJ's production?
TK Delman. TK Delman.
TK Delman.
So you're talking about the tail on that one.
You could talk off the end of it. It was like,
And you were like,
Yeah, that's cool.
Keep rolling, rolling, rolling.
I'm just going to play one more for you, okay?
Okay.
Christopher Brown sent in this submission.
Jesus. Oh my fucking god, what was that?
Down City Armory.
Oh Jesus.
Sorry, coming in off the end.
That was honest, that was like,
more than that probably captures the spirit of the podcast best,
and that's virtually... You think it's over and it never is.
It's almost unlistenable.
That's the musical equivalent of just throwing heaps of
flavor at a meal that you've fucked up in the hopes that you can fix this i've burned something
so i'm just gonna keep putting salt on it till it tastes good and if i add too much salt i'll add
more pepper till the salt bit tastes good that's how that works that's how it felt do you know how
you get salt out of a meal though potato i was I was going to say pepper. I learned that from Archer.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, I think this is one as well.
Oh, bonus round.
I might have to download it though.
It's from a dude called Ethan Hunter.
But what are your thoughts so far of these?
Oh, look, I really like, I mean,
while I'm all for regularity and continuity and having something to earmark the start of the show.
Do you reckon we should just
stop around?
Let's chuck them on high rotation.
Because this is the thing, man.
We've had a lot of people
when we made the movie announcement
they're like,
it's not a sequel
and it's not that bad.
It's like, yeah, well, guess what?
It's happening.
We're going to do it anyway.
We're dragging ourselves
around the block
for one final year.
We might as well do it.
We're goddamn pleased with it before we burn this motherfucker to the ground.
Absolutely.
And we want you guys to enjoy it and be on board.
Absolutely.
Just get on board, would you?
Absolutely.
Get on board, would you?
Get on board the rave ship.
Get on board the rave ship.
Get on board the rave ship.
While you download that, Tim, I'm quietly going to use this opportunity to say what I think we've both come here to say.
Yes.
And that is, if you want to watch us discuss
We Are Your Friends for the second time in a live environment
and are currently stationed in Auckland, New Zealand,
have we got news for you.
Come tomorrow night, that will be Saturday the 7th of May,
we're doing a live event at the Monte Cristo room
it's the venue we
produced during the comedy festival
11pm, tickets are $15
they always bring down the pizza
there's pizza
abound, you'll get a slice of pizza
do you know what else we should do?
we've got all those posters left over
we'll just fang them out
even though they say New York on it We've got all those posters left over. We'll just, we'll fang them out. Oh, yeah. Even though they say New York on it.
Yeah, we've got some finale posters from our New York show.
We can take those down.
We can have a beer.
We can have a chat.
Some of you illicit drug takers, obviously don't do it in the venue.
I'm winking.
Don't do it in the venue.
Don't tell people what to do, guy.
Yeah, I won't.
Hey, it'd be real cool though
if we could sell that
mother puppery out
so um
we've done a very terrible job
of promoting it
because we've been busy
we boys
so um
if you're in Auckland
please come
if you
if you're not in Auckland
don't worry
tell someone who is
and if you're like
if you're like
I would really love to go
but I um
like I don't have enough money
get in touch with us
because I don't want
anyone to miss out that's you're a big man tim you're bigger than i am no not really that's just
you know it's tough times out there some people they want to see some some cool comedy and they
want to be part of something and they you know not everyone's got 15 bucks so just drop us a line on
the facebook page and we'll sort something out but then there'll be people with money who will lie that's i'm i'm willing to accept the thieves and the miscreants if it means
i'm willing to accept five miscreants if it means that one person who's legitimately doesn't have
15 bucks can come i probably should have discussed this with you before this is a terror you are
running a horrific business model bad business model but it's a good life model. Okay, so here we go.
This one is from Ethan Hunter.
This should work.
It's not working, guy.
I'm going to fix it.
I'm going to fix it myself.
Don't worry, I got this.
Here we go.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Everybody fucking fall Yes, yes, yes
Best idea of all time
What?
Motherfuckers on the dance floor, motherfuckers on the dance floor
Timbo
Guy guy
Best idea of all time Timbo Gagai Zicoli
Jesus H that was powerful good
Fuck yeah I was kind of waiting for a drop though
At the end I gotta admit
The podcast is the drop
Dang that was a real good one
Yeah that was pretty fun
I like that one a lot
I'm partial to a bit of dubstep
It's sort of like an embarrassing guilty pleasure.
I listened to a bit of Skrillex back in the day.
I never got down with Skrillex, but when I was around the age of 21,
I was listening to a lot of dubstep.
It was fun.
It was a good time.
It was fun.
But like all things, you know, you got to move on, move through it, past it.
Now I just listen to Chillwave, whatever the F that is.
Shoe gaze and chill wave.
Shoe wave, chill gaze.
That is going to be We Are Your Friends, Duh,
when Zac Efron, Mr. Zicoli himself,
takes on a brand new exciting musical genre
and learns two chords on the guitar
and then has to forge a career in the indie bars of California.
I don't think he could hold a guitar without breaking its neck off it at the moment.
Because he's too cut.
He's too cut.
Also, just before we dip out of the friend zone back out into the terrifying real world,
someone has done the research for us and informed us that while Paddy Schwartz Party Time
follows the Coley on Instagram, that isn't reciprocated. Oh really?
Paddy's following Ephron
but Ephron ain't following the Paddy. There is a
campaign to be launched there.
Big time you dudes and dudesses.
I consider everyone a dude
though. Do you?
It's a tough one.
Because I always used to say dudettes.
Yeah, it seems gendered. Yeah, it's not like that. I call, to say dudettes Yeah It seems gendered
Yeah
It's like how I
I call
You know
If you act you're an actor
And it doesn't matter if you're male or female
You're an actor
But what if you steward
Cabin crew is the accepted non-climacter I think these days
Is it
I call them all stewards
I remember someone
In Melbourne
At one of your shows, Guy,
you were doing an improv show,
called them a sky waitress, I think,
and drew a lot of scorn from that very liberal audience,
the front row of which was populated entirely
with cabin crew members, just by coincidence.
Sheer fluke.
Yeah, that was an unfortunate night for that.
Sky waitress
that's not what they're called um that'll do that'll do us for the friend zone if you've got
um some talent or not send us a submission for that intro because the ones that we just played
i love them all like my own children that last one that dubstep one i've got to say that's a hot
a hot track it's a hot piece of ass.
Hey, look, just keep being nice to
each other. We'll see you all tomorrow night, 11pm
at the Monte Cristo Room for the worst
idea of all time, live.
Episode 2, Season 3, we
will be discussing Where Are Your Friends?
Let the descent into the
fiery pits of hell continue.
Do you know what I'm going to do, Guy?
You're going to play us out. I am going to play us out
with a little more Ethan Hunter. This idea of old time.
This idea of old time.
This idea of old time.
