Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Little Empire podcast. Visit us at littleempirepodcast.com and on Twitter at LittleEmpirePod. Well it's the friend zone, with Tim and Guy. Come to the friend zone, and have a good time. Yes it's the friend zone, with Tim and Guy. Cause making friends is the best idea of all time. Hello and welcome to the friend zone, with Tim and Guy. You've completely cut my headphones out, Guy. That's what you've done there by jangling around with the little audio box you got on you. You're welcome. I'm back. I'm here. You good?
Starting point is 00:00:34 Are you there? I'm here. We're all here. Are you here? Yes. No, no. That's for the person listening to this podcast. And I was answering on their behalf because they cannot respond. Yes, they are obviously here. Very good.
Starting point is 00:00:42 And I was answering on their behalf because they cannot respond. Yes, they are obviously here. Very good. You can tell by our chipper intonation and excited tones that we have not watched the movie yet. A guy has just arrived at my casa for us to settle into another gorgeous watch of We Are Your Friends. I tell you what, and we had a truly joyous 10-minute preamble in your kitchen in the company of the lovely Zoe, who'd roasted some vegetables. Yes. Of which I ate some.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah, and the verdict? Very, very tasty. Lady knows how to roast. She was trying a new technique with the potatoes this evening. Yeah? Where you drain them and then you whack them around in the pot a little bit to drain the rest of the water out before you roast them. So they crisp up real nice and proper.
Starting point is 00:01:24 You know, saying this out loud, a little bit to drain the rest of the water out before you roast them. So they crisp up real nice and proper. You know, saying this out loud, it makes me feel like we don't have enough problems really going on at our house, our shared dwelling. You've got a room that is specifically designated for our heartbroken friends. Well, that's true. We've got a spare bedroom that we just put in sad little lonely puppies. And also, I've noticed you and Zoe have started sabotaging People's relationships So that they'll come and spend a few nights Which seems pretty reckless to me
Starting point is 00:01:49 Yeah well you've got to make friends somehow That's what the friend zone is all about Yeah but I mean in terms of problems While that's not necessarily a problem for you I would describe it as problematic From the outside You should know because you are someone in my sphere of influence Who really really has a lot to lose Out of this little game that Zoe and I are playing.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Things are going great over at Castle Montgomery. Glad to hear it. Yeah. Speaking of Castle Montgomery, allow me to take this opportunity to shout out your new show on your own behalf. Hey, I appreciate it. Please continue if you like. Fresh out of the little Empire Gates,
Starting point is 00:02:23 Guy Montgomery, who you might know from the worst idea of all time Has teamed up with Fantastically talented comedian And Australian improviser Carlo Ricci And you were lucky enough to have him staying at your house You were generous enough to host him Yeah
Starting point is 00:02:40 And you've made a potty about it Yeah he came over for a week We were friendly. Do you want to know the actual backstory to my relationship with Carlo? Look, I would love to, because I've seen Carlo perform on the stage a couple times during the Melbourne International Comedy Fest, where his show sells out. The Bear Pack. It's a two-man long-form improv show.
Starting point is 00:03:02 God, they're good. He does it with Steen Raskopoulos. Fuck. Fuck. Yeah. So much like you, I saw them doing a beer pack show and I was very taken with Carlo for how funny and just at ease he seemed.
Starting point is 00:03:17 And I said to myself as I watched the show, this is before I'd met him, I said, I will befriend that man. That's so cute. And then by virtue of sort of uh comedy festivals they're they're a long haul and there's a lot of run-ins with different comedians an opportunity to make friends she's a marathon not a sprint that's right what we often say and I met
Starting point is 00:03:35 Carlo I played it cool I said a great show and then a few nights later just by coincidence Carlo saw my uh show I was doing a split bill with friend of the podcast Rose Menefeo yes of Boners of the Heart fame also a Little Empire product see what you're doing a split bill with friend of the podcast, Rose Menefeo. Yes, of Boners of the Heart fame. That's right. Also a Little Empire product. I see what you're doing. You're putting a lot of horses in the stable. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:50 And then we sort of struck up not a full-blown friendship, but certainly a familiarity, and we were on good terms. Cordial? Yeah, very cordial. And then it's sort of only through limited exposure through me being in Melbourne during the festival or catching him in Sydney. We'd hang out. We'd grab odds and ends, bits and bobs.
Starting point is 00:04:10 And then I was like, let's push this thing to the next level. Let's do it. Carlo, come over to New Zealand. Stay at my place a week. And we'll see what happens. We'll see where the friendship goes. And we were lucky enough or smart enough to record the experience in podcast form. So over the seven days he was here, we recorded a little conversation about it each day.
Starting point is 00:04:31 And thanks to the audio wizardry of you, Tim, they'll be available for consumption starting right now. As we're talking, it's out. That's for hosting. If ever you want to see a show that's on the network, you you just go to little empire podcast.com as i've mentioned before someone else's little empire podcasts because i originally misspelt the url i bought but look we're getting tied down that's pretty specific that's a fan of the worst idea of all time no no no because i think there's people who roam around the internet buying those urls up they sniff someone wanting to get one and then they buy buy it up. Hey, but, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:05 We won't dwell on it. Hosting is the name of the show. Yeah, please give it a listen and tell me what you think. What would be funny, actually, is if everyone rated and reviewed it. Because I'll tell you what, if there is one way to game iTunes system of charts, it would be so funny if only like 100 people listened to it, but every one of them gave it a review and you shot to the top of the charts. I would love that.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Do it. I would genuinely love it. Do it, everyone. Hey, I've got something which is roughly the length of the Bible here on my phone. Let's dive in. Okay. Let me grab my glass of beer. This one comes from Jean Ward, who opens the message by saying, feel free to read my name on the show.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Thank God. Hey there, Tiggles and Geiger Counter. Yes, please. Tiggles I haven't had. Thank God. Yes, please. Tickles I haven't had. Tickles or tickles? Tickles. Yeah, that's even better. Now, you need not apologise.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah, he's fine. He's just gotten bored of the role because he's been in charge for too long. He's literally just like, I'm out. Yeah. He might be going to go run the IMF, so he's all right. I don't think so, though. Anyway, I am a teacher in the magical land of Texas and am, in fact, messaging you during class. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Gene, get it together. Gen? Not Gene. Gene. Gene, sorry it together. Gen? Not gene. Gene. Gene, sorry. G-E-N-E. Not to worry though, we're watching a movie today. Yes, one of those days.
Starting point is 00:06:34 That's in fact why I'm sending this little message to you boys. For most kids, the days when the teacher puts on a movie are probably some of the most fun days. Yes. For a teacher teacher the experience is a bit different we get to watch the same movie six class periods split up over two to three days i have watched the tv miniseries of anne frank with ben kingsley sad but by the end i could see all the actors hitting their marks ending as a real gut wrencher selena with jlo in parenthesis
Starting point is 00:07:02 and all caps quite maudlin the good dinosaur Dinosaur, open parenthesis, quite impressive and tear-jerking on multiple viewings. SpongeBob, sponge out of water, much better than the first movie. Still laugh at some of the jokes. Sophie's Skull, The Final Days, German movie about the World War II student activist Sophie's Skull. Extremely heavy movie. Ending tore my heart out every time. Matilda, Currently watching it With my classes
Starting point is 00:07:26 Much better And far darker Than I remember it being As a seven year old Yeah it is Seeing the principal Throw kids over fences And hold kids for five hours
Starting point is 00:07:34 After school Gives me great joy And is that thing That she locks them The chokie That's the chokie And her name is Trunchbull Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:41 Yeah Fucking really dark I was lucky enough To catch Matilda The stage show yeah the stage show in london how was it it was tremendous i think i even told you the the young girl who played matilda uh she brought a tear to my eye at the very end after they took their curtain call she hadn't smiled the whole production and then this adorable little girl broke out in the widest
Starting point is 00:08:01 smile i've ever seen like during the curtain call it call. I think it was like her first week of performing the show, and I just exploded. I was just, anyway. Heartwarming. Yeah. He's just a big softie, that guy, Montgomery. No, he's a tough cry. He presents himself as a real hardened, tough dude, but he isn't.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, I'm all right. Okay, so it gives me great joy. As a child, I would have found the thought realistic and terrifying and terrifying as a teacher i can see it as hilarious cartoon antics it's kind of a catharsis to it i tried to watch beethoven but gave up far far worse film than i remember it being as a kiddo charles groden's dad character hated dogs so much it made me hate the character and almost everything barring the cute doggies. It was predictable and lame. Conclusion. Watching the movies in chunks six times with the kiddos doesn't usually make for a miserable experience.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I think having a different audience each period helps keep things interesting. Apologies for the long walk of text minus donations. We'll try to donate to your Patreon soon. And if you boys are in San Antonio or Austin, I'll try to make the drive over. Jane? Sorry, I don't want to interrupt the ending.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Is that about it? There is an addendum. P.S. Suggestion for season four, which isn't happening, Oscar-nominated film for best original song, The Day I Fall in Love, Beethoven's Second. Love you, boys.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Which is a very interesting recommendation to throw out after bad-mouthing the original. Yeah, well, I think people have really latched on to the fact that us watching bad movies is quite funny for people to sit around and listen to us suffer through it. So I can appreciate where Gene's coming from. Can I also say, Gene, no need to donate. You're a teacher.
Starting point is 00:09:34 You're doing God's work on Earth. You're looking after those kids. You're playing movies every period. Well done to you. You're donating time and energy to tomorrow's leaders. Now, here's the other thing. Beethoven, a dog movie that doesn't come to top of mind as much as it should when we're thinking about dog movies.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Everyone always goes to Earbud because it's big and flashy and it's got a lot of sports in it, a lot of moving pieces. Yeah. Beethoven, the true trailblazer. I mean, you've got Milo and Otis, but he was sharing the silver screen with a cat. I don't remember any of these movies. The only animal sort of movie like that I do remember is Cats vs. Dogs.
Starting point is 00:10:12 How old or not old is that? I was the age of going to the cinema. So presumably nine or ten, which would make it. Wow, what is that? It was a movie voiced over by quite an all-star cast Where cats battle dogs for domestic supremacy In what way? Like was it quite militant? Or was it kind of psychological?
Starting point is 00:10:30 It was militant But sort of comically so But you know they'd organise their battalions And sort of they were battling over houses Was it sort of a fight to the death between the species? I can't imagine it would be in a kids film No I can't imagine it ending in death But it was certainly
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah it was a, um, it was a good time. Alrighty, everyone get out there, check out Cats and Dogs. Gene, thanks for the message. So good to hear from you in the great state of Texas. Ooh, yeah. Ah, look, I've got an email here. Good on you. Dear GoldenGuy007 and TimeCrisis2.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Okay. Very good. It's going to be tough to beat for this friend zone. That is hot stuff. I actually feel like I balked it so early on. I'm going to start from the top of that one again. Dear GoldenGuy007 and Tim Crisis 2. I was at my Uncle Vanya's house, not his real name, although his real name is also Russian, and his TV was on in the background. It was idly tuned to the USA channel airing the 2007
Starting point is 00:11:25 Eddie Murphy vehicle Norbit. I readied myself to unleash a barrage of witty riff tracks style zingers brackets. These jokes aren't very funny Eddie. They should call it Nor Shit. Try calling. That is a bad gag.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Try making a good movie next time. But imagine my surprise and consternation when old Uncle Vanya, actually 38, started evangelizing Norbert at me. Calling it some of the funniest shit he'd ever seen. Pointing at the screen in anticipatory glee as enormous female Norbert prepared to careen down that fateful water slide, awash in reverence for all things holy and all things Norbert. Helpless to do anything else, I sat there and mumbled noncommittedly. While there was a little awkward, while that was a little awkward, sorry,
Starting point is 00:12:19 the worst part is that I had to shelve my plans for the podcast, where I would travel around the world and watch Norbit at 4.20am in every time zone. Working title, Geosynchronous Norbit. How embarrassing. So, have you ever explained the podcast to someone who harboured a genuine love for Grown Ups 2, Sex and City 2, We Are Your Friends, or perhaps all three? What was that like? Statistically speaking, those must be someone's three favorite movies if you meet that person what would you do what would you do to them regards nick you can only use my full
Starting point is 00:12:54 name but only if you pronounce it correctly decree no bail out you're bombed uh thank you nick and to answer your question i'm sure sure, I can't remember specifics, that we have met people who enjoy those movies never before someone who rates them as their top three. I met someone very recently who was a big fan of Sex and the City 2, and it was sort of a bit of a business context, so I just politely stopped talking about the podcast.
Starting point is 00:13:23 What do you mean? Oh, you met someone who you were working with. Trying to get work off. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. And I was sort of explaining the concept of the podcast. Mentioned we did a year of Sex and the City 2. She said, oh, I love that movie.
Starting point is 00:13:34 It's so much better than the first one. I said, all right. So listen, let's get into the deeps. Let's not beat around the bush. Yeah, I think when I do meet people, especially if they have the context of the podcast, I'm always fast like i i don't uh judge them for it i think people are allowed to like whatever movies they
Starting point is 00:13:50 like but i'm just i'm really interested in talking to them about it and it's also i mean people who like movies tend to remember the details with uh enjoyable clarity which means it's nice to be able to engage with someone about the movie and they're coming from a perspective I haven't experienced before. Different points of view, folks. You don't need to shy away from that. I say embrace it. Burst your bubbles. Engage with the other side of the spectrum.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Hot, hot stuff, Tim. You want this? You want this? Give it. You want this? Give it to me. Put it in my ears. Hey, bros.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Your podcast makes walking to school in the freezing Canadian winter bearable. My friends and I are planning to watch horror Halloween movies on New Year's Eve because they spent their Halloween rehearsing for my school's production of Elf. So I suggested watching Sex and the City 2. None of my friends listened to the podcast, but we did watch Sex and the City 2. Whoa, backstage. Alright, my dad's calling. Shall I take it? Ah, yeah, go right ahead.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Hey dad. stage. Alright, my dad's calling. Shall I take it? Ah, yeah, go right ahead. Hey, Dad. Hello? Stephen! Uh, I couldn't, I heard g'day and then nothing. I can hear you. I was saying hello because that's what you say when you answer the phone. This is not going well.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I was saying hello because that's what you say when you answer the phone. This is not going well. Yeah, that's true actually. So the hello that you're asking about was sort of, it was quizzical because I didn't know if you could hear me or I could hear you. Look. You can really see where he gets it from, can't you? Yes. No off switch on Guy's dad.
Starting point is 00:15:23 There really isn't. I am doing a show down there. He couldn't get any tickets, so he rang me and asked me what I could do. And he says, you've only got stand up tickets and there's only 10 of them and you're not willing to pre-sell
Starting point is 00:15:48 them is that correct? Yeah there's 10 tickets available on the door that are for standing room
Starting point is 00:15:54 only and they're 10 bucks each and I'm sure there's some way that I could
Starting point is 00:16:00 weight it to favour family well if you could if you could secure stand up I could wait it to favour family? Well, if you could secure stand-up tickets for Monsieur L'Amour and his three companions, which would be his wife and wife, who else? I don't know who else. It might be Rick and Nina, even.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I don't know. How intriguing. What's that? I mean, who knows who it could be? Well, that's right. The world is full of mysteries and surprises, isn't it? Hey, Dad. I'm with Tim Batt.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Do you want to say hi? Hello, Batman. Mr. Montgomery, how are you? I'm very well, thank you, Tim. I'm slightly disappointed that Polydex appears to have just whimpered and limped its way to an inglorious conclusion ah the other little empire podcast on the network look we're having just jeb and i having discussions about that you'll be the first to know we're looking at bringing it
Starting point is 00:16:57 back you need to be the first to know and i'm not sure that you would even have any idea apart from the fact that you're in my you're you're you appear on the list of my podcasts um that um so i don't know whether you can tell from that that i'm following you or not absolutely not if we if we got little updates on every person it would be so he's laughing at a joke he thought of earlier, that's all. You need not pay too much attention to your son. Hey, Dad, is the worst idea of all time on the list of your podcasts? It is, but I do have 23 unplayed episodes. Down the list.
Starting point is 00:17:38 How many episodes have you listened to? I've listened to about four. What do you reckon? And then you've got the, I think it's okay in patches. I mean, I think the problem with committing yourself to doing a weekly thing
Starting point is 00:17:53 on a subject which is basically boring the shit out of you really is that you wind up with the sort of, you get the pearls in there, but you're going through a bit of dross to get there. So I think that there's just a difficulty in maintaining the standard at the level that you would hope, or that I would hope.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Such a diplomatic attempt at saying there's a lot of bullshit on there. You'd cut it down, need to go to edit. And to be honest, if I can say another thing, that I would prefer less direct language. Now, how do you mean direct? I'm not in a good position.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I don't have a strong, you know, in fact, I have no basis for this at all because I've always sworn very badly in front of my son. But I just think on a podcast with a universal audience, you don't know who's going to listen to it. You're not wrong. I think New Zealanders and people who listen to podcasts
Starting point is 00:18:57 probably tend to tolerate worse language than the general public. This is the tricky thing because what we've created is a unique experience where we're trying as much as possible for it just to be Guy and I ignoring the kind of context the rest of the world listening, so it's really authentic. Guy and me ignoring. I beg your pardon? Guy and me ignoring.
Starting point is 00:19:18 He's correcting your grammar. No, I think it's Guy and I ignoring. I am ignoring the world. It's not me ignoring the world. If I drop the other subject in the sentence, it doesn't make grammatical sense. That's the test. If you drop Guy in, you wouldn't say it was just Guy. You would just...
Starting point is 00:19:32 I would say I, not me. You would say it's me ignoring. Would I? Oh, no, I guess you're right. Yep, no, touche, Mr. Montgomery. I should never have doubted you for a second. My point being, it's very hard to achieve that tone of an intimate relationship while at the same time having to have in your head the whole time
Starting point is 00:19:51 that you've got to watch your regular language. We're going for maximum authenticity. I fully get that. I do understand that. But I think that there's a degree of, well, I wouldn't describe it as informality. I'd describe it as just, like, sometimes I think, and I'm guilty of this myself, but I notice it more when you listen to something like your podcast. Yeah, Charlotte's just saying, poor Tim, he's probably not in the mood for you,
Starting point is 00:20:24 which I completely understand but when you listen to a podcast that the swearing does hit you more than it does like if we were at a bar having a drink then you wouldn't even notice
Starting point is 00:20:39 this is becoming very difficult as Charlotte is saying shut the fuck up, Stephen. Oh, the irony. It's palpable. Yeah, well, that's exactly it. Well spotted, Tim. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:51 You're getting assailed from all sides. But anyway, that is something which I, as a listener to the podcast, Like four ebbs. I could just say stop swearing according to Alice. She's not wrong. She's got a good sense of word economy. Very important in the medium. Hello?
Starting point is 00:21:17 But I do think that you're, I mean, I love the discursive nature of it. The fact that, you know, in theory, this is about a movie. In practice, it's about whatever you guys feel like talking about. Sometimes just things that are happening. Occasionally it's sort of tangentially related to the movie, and occasionally it's not. Tell me about it. And it just goes all over the place.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Well, that's quite good. Oh, thank you. But in that sense, I think that in some ways, I think you've sort of outgrown the movie as the base for it. That is probably a fair criticism, Dad. No, it wasn't a criticism, Gies. It was just an observation. And it was an accurate one at that. Okay. Well,
Starting point is 00:22:07 funnily enough, we've actually got to get down to the business of recording the podcast. Well, this time I will listen to it and I'll see how the language comes out. Okay. Very well. Sorry? Sounds good.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Okay. Hey, now, Giza, what am I going to say to tell my friend? Tell him to keep us there to the ground and I'll be in touch someone just tell them that you spoke to me and it's all taken care of almost yeah well that's great I'm delighted about that but I'm not absolutely confident that you're taking care of it coincides exactly with his expectations but anyway we'll reconvene at another time
Starting point is 00:22:56 you've got to do the podcast Tim good to talk to you and you also hope everything's well on the home front look forward to seeing you very good take care bye Also, hope everything's well on the home front. I look forward to seeing you. Very good. Okay, thank you. Take care.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Bye. That's probably all we've got time for, more or less. I did not see that coming. Quite astute, though, his observations, considering he's only listened to four eps. Yeah, he doesn't mess around. Now, here's the thing. So this has just occurred for us in real time.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I assume now you'll message him or give him a bell and see if he's all right with his voice going out to all in sundry. What's your expectation? Do you think that phone call will be kept in? I'll be interested to know. I guess we should safeguard ourselves in case he'd like a bit more privacy out in the online world. For the alternate realities where the phone call didn't play, we've just had quite an extended chat.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Sort of 10, 12, maybe 15 minutes with Montgomery Senior on the phone. Yeah. And he had a lot to say about the podcast. And it was a good chat. With very little prompting. Just do you listen to it? What do you think of it? And then an extended opinion.
Starting point is 00:24:11 So I was in the middle of a message from Isabel Wilson, which I will commence from the beginning. Okay. You don't have any commentary on your dad while we're here? I like him. Yeah, good guy. It took me a long time To realise he was funny
Starting point is 00:24:26 So I always thought He was just real dry Like boring And then when I hit about 16, 17 I was like oh no He's been joking the whole time And what I like about it Is he didn't let me in on that
Starting point is 00:24:38 That was just for him Until you figure it out And you're like okay That is commitment to the bit Now From Isabel Wilson in Canada. Hello, bros. Your podcast makes walking to school in the freezing Canadian winter bearable.
Starting point is 00:24:54 My friends and I plan to watch horror Halloween movies on New Year's Eve because they've spent their Halloween rehearsing for my school's production of Elf. So I suggested watching Sex and the City 2. None of my friends listened to the podcast but we did watch sex in the city 2 backstage during our show last year and judged it based on our trip to morocco while i pointed out dick bop brady the rat king all hail and coffee guy good luck with the rest of season three and thank you for introducing me to the hilarity that is alice
Starting point is 00:25:21 sneddon yes her story about the production of high school musicals she saw never fails to make me laugh and makes me feel better about the hot mess that was my school's version of it. If this ever gets read out loud, you have my permission to use my real name, Isabel Wilson. I'd already done it because that is just something I do. Thank you, Isabel. Yeah, that's a lovely one.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I like that. Here's another from Eric. Hey, boys, here's 1% of my net worth Love, Eric Peavy It was $5, which means Eric is worth $500 Pretty good stuff, Eric Not bad at all
Starting point is 00:25:54 He's now down to $495 Here's a quickie Timberlina and Guybrush Threpwood Live show? When? Brackets, Oz Please, oh, also, I love you both Keep on truckin' Love every moojar, love every jar dad
Starting point is 00:26:09 Thank you Oh, mumjar, sorry, love every mumjar Oh wait, there's a PS Very excited for a movie marathon to finish the podcast This idea is grand Yeah, Guy's not that into it, but I think Oh look, I'll do it Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:23 I'm brave Hey boys, just had an interesting thought listening to timbo's appreciation of page on his solo episode if page combined his business ability with an idea from mr big's big book of ideas i think they would make an unstoppable team combined they might really be the next creator of instagram whatever his name is captain sidestream it explains how mr big made all of his money without being able to understand the stock market or colors he's got his buddy page handling all of his actual business just thought i'd share this revelation with the experts themselves
Starting point is 00:26:54 happy or not so happy watching no mention of whether or not you want your name to be read out and so callan i shall resist i feel that it would be rude to leave Grown Ups 2 out in the cold when we're tying two of the franchise universes together. It feels like choosing two favorite kids when you've got three. So who do you think Paige and Mr. Big would... Who's got the most business now from Grown Ups 2? Who would they be teaming up with? Well, Lenny Fader just as
Starting point is 00:27:25 obviously he's made the most. That's a good point. But I think he's too much of a like you can't have three alphas and he's too openly hostile towards what's the word I'm looking for? He's too openly hostile towards
Starting point is 00:27:43 adversity. Like when things go wrong he starts yelling. What's the comedian's name who's the word I'm looking for? He's too, how many Hostile Awards? Adversity. Like when things go wrong, he starts yelling. What's the comedian's name who's the ice cream man? Colin Quinn. Colin Quinn's character, I think, would be the guy
Starting point is 00:27:52 because he's not afraid of a bit of hard work and he's got sass. Yeah, I thought that too. Maybe even, I was going to say Selma Hayek, but her store does appear
Starting point is 00:28:03 to be flagging, so big time. Dear Spindlius, Timblius, Wimblius, and Guy, the Flash Cannon Montgomery, I want to thank you lovely boys for coming all the way to Portland to do a show. You may or may not remember me. I complimented Guy's shirt and told Tim at the end of the show that I had driven down almost from Canada to watch The Madness live. My brother
Starting point is 00:28:25 and I wanted to stay and have a drink but we had a long drive ahead of us and had to put the road safety ahead of a good time. Guy, I have some information that may be of interest to you. You may not know this but Washington state has a bit of an unfortunate reputation when it comes to bestiality. Here's a link to an article of a particularly famous case which happened about a 20 minute drive from where I grew up. I won't share details here, but I will say that it involves a man, a horse, and something a little more extreme than heavy petting. Thank you, boys, for the amazing show,
Starting point is 00:28:55 and I hope that you make it back to the Pacific Northwest in the future so I can see your faces in person again. Kisses, Callan. P.S. You can say my name. Thanks, Callan. Do you remember Callan? I've got to admit, like, it's not super crisp, but I do have a recollection of a pair
Starting point is 00:29:17 that drove from, like, a stunning distance away. And I'm sorry that it's not more ingrained in there, but we had a little bit to drink that night. We tied one on. I mean, we we had a little bit to drink that night. We tied one on. I mean, we really had a knees up after that Portland show. And a huge shout out. I couldn't even tell you the name of the bar next to the Clinton Street Theatre, but we had a really good time.
Starting point is 00:29:34 But that was that place we went in the little hole in the wall food place next to it was like the best burger I've ever eaten in my goddamn life. I think that is... What was that, Sam? Look, it all blares, doesn't it? If you're not careful, it really does. Hey, someone gave us $100, bro. Well, you'd better acknowledge that.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Tim is his name, which is a great name, and he's written the following message by email. Hey, fellas, feel free to say my name. Do it! Say my name, bitches! Here it is. here's me saying it Tim Milfoul Now you say it Tim Milfoul
Starting point is 00:30:11 I should have remembered while donating That the friendzone regularly features dispatches from people who have donated Without being able to make a comment, hence the email Okay, admin done Anyway, thanks bros for the many late nights listening to your drivel i don't know yes it's the warts and all idea of it but geez i thought i wish i'd thought of it and also that i had even a tenth of the patience and energy that has allowed to make it you uh allowed you to make it through three seasons of these shite films i know i'll miss the worst idea of
Starting point is 00:30:42 all time in six months but i take heart in the immortal nature of Till Death Do Us Blart and the pleasing thought that a creative pair such as you will always have an exciting new project around the corner. All the best to you good guys. Tim Milfill. You bloody beauty. You're a champ, Tim Milfill, and
Starting point is 00:30:59 cheers for shipping us 100 notes. That is intense, dude. That is 10,000 cents. I think. I've done my math right. All right, all right. Look, we need to rip into this movie.
Starting point is 00:31:13 We want to get in there. We'll do a little bit of housekeeping, though, right now. Please. Take care of a couple of things. One thing I'd like to put across is to say thank you so much to the people who have already jumped on our Patreon campaign. We've cracked three digits now. We've got a hundred people in there in total.
Starting point is 00:31:29 That's what you want. We've got a few people in that Millionaires Club. We've got a lot of people who are hanging on to listen and figure out what movie we're going to watch for the Deciders Club. So we're going to rip right into that very soon. In fact, by the time this comes out, maybe we've already got a little things
Starting point is 00:31:44 dripping through there. So if you want to check out all the details all the rewards we've got um if you're not familiar with patreon how it works you just give a little bit of money on a monthly basis and we've got different tiered rewards for how much you give you go to patreon p-a-t-r-e-o-n dot com slash t-w-i-o-a- t that's right and the yeah the first batch of uh fresh content for those patrons that will be going out before the end of 2016 oh yeah so if you want to get involved don't miss out i'd say probably well before in some ways i would like to plug Tim Batts' Twitter. Okay. Tim underscore Bat. You got it.
Starting point is 00:32:29 He's a great guy. It's a real hot mess of different content. To follow it, you would think he's a madman, and perhaps he is, but he's got hot takes, shit gags, great gags, medium warmth takes, shit gags, great gags, medium warmth takes, just a lot of different content. Tim's got his finger in so many pies right now that if you want to taste all the different pies he's baking, that's the place to find the recipes and the pies themselves.
Starting point is 00:33:01 And can I make a recommendation as well for the Twitter account of Westworld? Just jump onto Twitter, search Westworld. Fantastic new HBO series penned by the phenomenally talented brother of Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, who's really just made this show, knocked it out of the park. I can't get enough of this stuff. I'm up to episode five. I'm just binging the hell out of it. Go and follow that.
Starting point is 00:33:26 So without further ado, ladies and gents, we'll leave you to it. And it's off to watch the movie. Bye bye. See you. Well, it's the friend zone. Tim and Guy come to the friend zone.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And have a good time. Yes, it's the friend zone. Tim and Guy. Cause making friends is the best idea of all time. Thanks for listening to this podcast. If you're thirsty for another, why not try Boners of the Heart? Maybe we should create a curated pornography website. Are you just suggesting we upload Bridget jones's diary yeah yeah we could just stream that
