Starting point is 00:00:00 Guy Montgomery, episode 12. As far as I understand it, our first guest, and boy, do we come out swinging. Because since 2014, this guy's arguably gone on to become one of the sort of defining voices of stand-up. It's only James Acaster. Lots of fun experiencing this again. Only James Acaster. Lots of fun experiencing this again. Little squabbles and bickers, Tim and I.
Starting point is 00:00:30 They're only leaking out the sides this time. I know it was a long time ago, but I think we were still quite starstruck and surprised James wanted to come on the show at all. So really fun to listen back. I think we do a pretty good job of playing it cool and staying normal james does an outstanding job of spotlighting um the intensity and absurdity of the film and um also you know with it with a seemingly genuine concern or interest in our mental health and um i really you know first time having kind of where we'd made it to at this point reflected back to us by a guest and an incredibly articulate and funny one at that so uh yeah i don't i don't
Starting point is 00:01:21 know that it's necessarily a high watermark for the podcast, but it's a lot of fun to revisit. I hope you enjoy. You know if your precious time slips away Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Worst Idea of All Time, episode 12. I'm Guy Montgomery. I'm Tim Batt. I'm James Acuster. That's right. This is our first guest in the booth. I think so. And James, do lean in.
Starting point is 00:02:01 As you can see, we've got a state-of-the-art studio here, but it's not quite as sensitive as we'd like. Don't be afraid to get right up to the microphone so everyone can hear your fantastic opinions on the film. So, quick rundown on the premise. Worst idea of all time. Tim Batt and I are watching Grown Ups 2 once a week for 52 weeks, and we'll review it every time for you at home this week. James Acaster joined us.
Starting point is 00:02:23 He's over for the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. And I mean, I'm quite keen to just roll our sleeves up and get right into it. Well, firstly, just a slight little bit of admin. You'll remember from episode 11 of The Worst Idea of All Time, that guy and I promised to watch it twice in one go to account for the fact that we were kind of tuned in and out last time because we were dealing with a red wine stain that guy had created.
Starting point is 00:02:44 There was a lot of noise. There was a. Yeah. There was a lot of noise. There was a vacuum cleaner. There was a hairdryer. A bit passive-aggressive. The blame there was solely directed at you, Guy. Yeah, it was solely my red wine stain. A bit of an emphasis on the word Guy there. I have literally nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Anyway, look, let's not get bogged down with the red wine stain. What it means is that Tim and I woke up bright and early. We had an 8.30 screening. Then we had to go to an interview and then we came right back and we're joined by James at high noon for the second screening of the day. James, I mean, I was watching you watching the movie.
Starting point is 00:03:13 There were some laughs. There were some sort of exacerbated moments. What's your overall feeling? Personally, guys, I think you've chosen the right film to watch 52 times because there's so much going on in it that I would need to watch it about 52 times to fully take it all in. I believe that you're probably discovering something new with each watch and there's bits that you've forgotten about.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I've never seen a film before that doesn't have a story and yet still manages to take you on a journey uh an emotional journey uh all the way through um i don't know where to start with it there's there's too much well i thought i might just say i was really at the start of the film today i was really excited having you here because just the idea of you watching it for the first time and that you got to experience like how many characters they're introducing at a rate of knots and just how they tie in a lot of storylines but there's no purpose there's no payoff in any of this and it's sort of having a having a first time opinion james may disagree well yeah but having a first timer in the studio was like
Starting point is 00:04:19 there was a reminder of what it's like to watch the movie for the first time i felt today yeah you know like when i first saw Kill Bill, and in the opening scene, she just answers the door, and someone punches her in the face immediately, and there's a fight. And Grown Ups 2 is like that at the beginning, where it's like there's instantly, like, a stag in his bedroom, and it pees all over him. And you don't even need to know what the reason is.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Eventually you do, but it's just because someone left the door open. That was it. But, like, there's a massive... It's straight in with the action and it doesn't let up. It doesn't stop at any point. For the whole thing, there's something happening. There's never a dull moment in the whole film. Something's happening constantly.
Starting point is 00:04:56 You've picked such a beautiful metaphor for the whole film. So something crazy happens. A stag is pissing on everyone. There's no reason. Well, there is a reason. The reason is someone left the door open. And that is this whole film. Something happens. A stag is pissing on everyone. There's no reason. Well, there is a reason. The reason is someone left the door open. And that is this whole film. Something happens.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Why does it happen? Someone left the door open. Someone did something inexplicable for no reason. And then something happened. But it never amounts to anything. It just happens. And then once they've milked all of the negative comedic value they have out of it, they just do a hard cut to a whole new... To a party.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Yeah. That's the way to do any film, I think. You just don't bother with the storyline and then at the end you get all the characters and you put them in a party and then you make something happen there. You just go, we'll put them all at the party. And I actually...
Starting point is 00:05:37 The film I can definitely defend and say I liked and I think more films should do this was the ending. I think every film should end with just getting all the bad guys and just beat them up don't have any redemption for anyone and just beat them all up really viciously, just fight
Starting point is 00:05:52 them and punch them in the face over and over again, it's all you want to see. James, you're a comedy guy, you're an international comedian what did you think of the cast? As Guy said in the middle of the film it's like SNL the movie but fucking terrible it's nice to see the old familiar faces
Starting point is 00:06:08 popping up, any Adam Sandler fans any fans of the Happy Madison franchise will be very glad to see a lot of his friends popping up again, Peter Dante playing the cop, he's played many people in the past if I can remember any of them
Starting point is 00:06:24 I'm pretty sure that Peter Dante and the guy with the funny eyes He's played many people in the past, if I can remember any of them. I'm pretty sure that Peter Dante and the guy with the funny eyes and the guy who played the hippie teacher are all people who just worked for Adam Sandler at one point in his general management. Yeah, not even in an acting capacity or a comedic, just like his plumber. He's like, you want to be in a movie? Funnily enough though after this many viewings
Starting point is 00:06:46 some of those guys particularly Peter Dante and the hippie teacher those are characters which I think are stronger than other guys you could use more of them well they're playing
Starting point is 00:06:55 the same people actually the teacher Alan Cover is the teacher I believe that's his name and he's played a lot of more of a variety
Starting point is 00:07:03 of characters over the years so it's harder to place him in films but he was like his best friend in Wedding Singer he was the guy who just Michael Jackson I think he's wearing a wig in this
Starting point is 00:07:16 he's played many different characters in all this and somehow I mean we were speculating a while ago that Sandler must have dirt on Steve Buscemi. Why does Steve Buscemi keep committing to these... They've been friends forever, those two. They were in Airheads together.
Starting point is 00:07:33 That was really early on, those two and Brendan Fraser. They were doing films forever. Steve Buscemi just enjoys doing his films. And I think the whole film is probably worth it for Buscemi dressing as Flavor Flav. I imagine that grown-ups too started because sandler said i want to have a film where bashemian dresses as flavor slave and one of them went well how about a party that's an 80s party who would have that what about your
Starting point is 00:07:54 character from uh grown-ups you'd probably hold host a party like that okay well we'll write a film that climaxes after that i'm glad you said this because i had i had a thought what might be fun is Tim and I will pretend to be network executives okay and you're the guy you're Adam Sandler
Starting point is 00:08:09 you're Adam Sandler you're just the guy who's you're pitching grown ups too to us okay so you've just seen it but imagine you're coming in
Starting point is 00:08:17 we haven't given it the green light yet you're saying you have to make this move if I may I'd like to give you a bit of preamble on behalf of the network
Starting point is 00:08:23 so James thank you so much for making some time with us today. I appreciate you coming in. No problem. Look, as you know, times are tough. We've had the global financial crisis. Piracy is weighing heavily on our industry. We need some dynamite. We need some gold.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Please let us know. What's your idea? Well, guys, we can only make so many films. We can't make all the films we'd like, right? This is true. You'd like to make a film about a stag that runs loose and pees on people. I would love that. On the other hand, you'd like to make a film about a gay aerobics instructor
Starting point is 00:08:57 who all the women fancy and his funny janitor sidekick who makes them do stuff, right? But you can't make both those films. his funny janitor sidekick who makes them do stuff, right? But you can't make both those films. But wait, you'd also like to make a film about a guy who finds out that he's actually got a son who's fully grown up and he's really scared of him because he's definitely a psychopath, right? You'd like to make that film as well.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Plus, you'd like to make a film about a guy whose wife wants him to have a baby and at the end of the film you discover that she's pregnant. Yeah, you'd like to make that film. You'd also like to make a film about a guy who remembers his wife's anniversary, but she forgets that it's their anniversary and then he can hold it against her forever.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And yeah, you'd like to make a film about... James, I want to make all these films. Yeah, but I just don't think we have the money. Yeah, where's this all going, James? Here's the trick, guys. It's one film. Fuck off. We put all going James here's the trick guys it's one film fuck off we put all those
Starting point is 00:09:48 characters in one film together as a community we disregard any kind of main plot and we link them all together because you know what guys
Starting point is 00:09:55 life is a series of small stories all linked together in a beautiful tapestry and then we bring them all in at the end and that is what it's like
Starting point is 00:10:03 to be a grown up wait wait two oh my god this is how the movie got that was really convincing it was so good yeah see that this is how it happened that's what happened you just go i think you just realize there's so much it's bursting with life the whole film there's so much going on i mean like a summer slammer from um burger king yeah i can have all of that for five dollars sign Yeah. Well, you can't have all of this for $5. This hasn't even made it to the bargain bin yet. It was a cheap movie considering the cast, though, I think. What did you say?
Starting point is 00:10:31 80 mil? Now, another thing, James, because we haven't really... I mean, a lot of people are sort of incredulous towards the whole podcast concept. How do you feel about two people watching this 52 times? I think it's good. I think it's a good experiment. And I genuinely do think you've chosen the right film for it. I think I would rather watch this 52 times. I think it's good. I think it's a good experiment. And I genuinely do think
Starting point is 00:10:45 you've chosen the right film for it. I think I would rather watch this 52 times than like Schindler's List or something. I think this has a lot more to offer on each viewing. I think it's a good experiment. I feel sorry for you guys. I think it's going to be horrible for you.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I mean, I don't know how much you want to reveal to the listeners, but you were both fading within the first five minutes of this watching. You weren't doing well. Tim want to reveal to the listeners, but you were both fading within the first five minutes of this watching. You weren't doing well. Tim, I'm going to say, did descend into genuine depression at one point.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Not even like a little jokey, I'm going to pretend to be depressed and put on a show. I think you were genuinely quite sad and really didn't want to be here at all. And Guy was exhausted by the end and not happy at all. Having you here gave me fresh life for the first 20. Like I was in delirium. I was actually laughing quite hard
Starting point is 00:11:28 at jokes just at the idea that you're seeing these jokes for the first time. But then yeah I mean I did dip pretty quickly. For me it's just the fact that we watched the movie twice today and that is a ridiculous proposition. That's crazy. I never want to see it again.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'm never going to watch that again I don't want to and I would only enjoy watching it again if I was showing it to a friend who I knew would hate it have you seen the first one? no would you?
Starting point is 00:11:53 I don't think I need to I think I've caught up on I think that's told me everything I need to know about the characters if every day also that's one day yes if every day of their life
Starting point is 00:12:00 is like that that is relentless they don't even think it's anything amazing at the end of the They don't even think it's anything amazing. At the end of the day, they don't think it's that spectacular. If the same day that a stag broke into your house and peed all over you, your wife told you she was pregnant, and you had a brawl in your garden with about a million frat students,
Starting point is 00:12:18 you would probably go to bed thinking, I can't believe what happened. You wouldn't go to bed, do a sneeze, fart, burp, and then celebrate, which is how the film ends. You've so succinctly name-checked so many features of the film that Monty and I have tried to drill into. We have a segment that we like to do on the podcast which is called The Shining Light,
Starting point is 00:12:36 and what it is is the movie clearly is more than slightly intolerable, but we like to pick a bit that we enjoyed on this week's viewing that kind of stood out for us as a positive. Something we enjoyed, something that might have caught us off guard as being genuinely funny. Do you have a moment in the film that you genuinely enjoyed? The little Chris Rock's son shaking his butt when it's full of poop. That's funny. Every time he does a little dance and shakes around, that's genuinely funny.
Starting point is 00:13:04 It's funny that the kid's doing that especially when you think that he's got a diaper full of poo and he's he's a little kid who knows what he's doing
Starting point is 00:13:11 so he's shuffling his butt around and he knows he's making it harder for his mum to clean his diaper it's funny that's a funny concept
Starting point is 00:13:18 that kid is dynamite like that kid's a great actor he is pretty good it made up for you know, it got me through some of the more misogynistic elements of the film later on. It's pretty horrific in its perception of women, let's face it.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Yeah, well, while we've got you on a roll then, what do you think, similarly, the low light? I mean, at what point were you saying this is... Most of the scenes that involved the women just either doing nothing, let's face it, most've got three pretty big stars, female leads in this film, who do nothing each. They don't do anything. Hayek does the most, and all she does is be a caricature
Starting point is 00:13:59 that is really emotional and cries all the time and is really unreasonable and just has her boobs pushed together for the entire film. the woman i think mayor mayor rudolph is the only one who stipulated a new contract she wouldn't wear a push-up bra and when we did the drinking game episode a couple of weeks ago we made rules and one of the rules monty floated and we went with is that every time there's a push-up bra on screen drink hammered within what the first two minutes we got shit-faced. There's so many rules, but it's a great game.
Starting point is 00:14:27 So many. You're right, the misogyny is coming thick and fast. It starts early and it doesn't lead up. Yeah, it's really, really crazy. Yeah, it's a bit silent. Also, I guess the low light is when the ice cream guy throws a scoop, a metal scoop, and just brains a woman for no reason.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Now, that is Tanya, who's the extra that we will be hosting on the podcast at some point in the not-too-distant future. She's a yoga instructor in LA. Not an actor. Just was friends with the executive producers, I believe. I had a quick chat to her over Twitter. Right. Because we were quite drawn to her. Because I really like the noise that
Starting point is 00:15:06 she made when she got hit and fell down she makes this kind of yeah and i really wanted to find out if that was additional dialogue recording or if it was her voice that's her i asked her i asked her on twitter i said is that your voice she said yes i said you're hilarious she said thank you i said you want to come on our podcast she said sure thing I said I've got to give you a heads up we're not huge fans of the movie but we are watching it 52 times she said that's fine I'm not a big fan of the movie either
Starting point is 00:15:32 brilliant so we're going to have a chat to that I mean that woman how do you speaking of that sort of thing how do you feel about the extras James
Starting point is 00:15:38 you've got because when you do watch it enough when you have watched it you know say you're pushing 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 times, what I like to do is I start watching, I'm not watching the dialogue anymore, you're watching the actors reacting, because there's a famous saying in acting,
Starting point is 00:15:55 which is acting isn't acting, it's reacting. Yes. I mean, do you think that the people, all the frat boys, all the party extras, are they aware that what they're in essentially is a bit of a dunger? I, well, they must be, sure. I think Sandler doesn't care anymore. We all know he stopped caring a long time ago. He got to a point in his career where he went, I'll make whatever I like
Starting point is 00:16:14 I don't give a shit. Just funny people. Yeah, funny people, I think it's nice to try a proper one, wasn't it? Yeah, exactly. It's like, I'm going to do a proper, but then don't do it with Apatow, who's going to leave all the deleted scenes in and then yeah
Starting point is 00:16:26 that's what that movie is but yeah I think they all know that the movie's not good I imagine on set while they were filming it
Starting point is 00:16:36 they were all going this is awful yeah I can't believe that any of those people thought it was good but I think they just thought who cares
Starting point is 00:16:42 we're making loads of money we're really rich and we just get I bet it's fun to make i bet a fun like a film like that must be well fun yeah i would think so you got a lot of it's your mates you're hanging out with your mates every day it's big budget well you know like it's it's in a class of big budget so you've got all the trappings you've got trailers you've got lovely catering you've got people looking after you you have the assistant too Mr Sandler and you're just you're skiving off no one's putting
Starting point is 00:17:08 too much work in we also had Rose Matafea dropping in and out of the viewing and she had part time yeah not committed
Starting point is 00:17:15 like you were James or me actually Tim I mean you were you did a wee in the middle of the movie I noticed we're allowed though texted
Starting point is 00:17:21 texted that was particularly naughty very early on in the film because I had to let someone know that I wouldn't be at
Starting point is 00:17:28 a place because I was watching Grown Ups 2 for the second time that's ok let someone know you're
Starting point is 00:17:33 a cheater let someone know that the whole world or like 10 people know now the fuck
Starting point is 00:17:37 thing is we're watching it twice today to catch up on last time because I was so stringent about us
Starting point is 00:17:42 technically watching this film in totality 52 times so don't you dare get me up on last time because I was so stringent about us technically watching this film in totality 52 times so don't you dare get me up on a technicality this time I'm sorry Tim
Starting point is 00:17:50 you've got to ease up on that rule though you've got 52 times if another time something happens that distracts you let it go fuck no James
Starting point is 00:17:57 you can't let it happen this is the thing if we don't do it all of this is for nothing the entire process this is the one thing pulling us through now. As I say to Tim, I say,
Starting point is 00:18:07 because Tim, we've flirted with quitting, or just there have been moments when we're so despairing. It's like, what's the, but then you think, no one cares about someone who watched Grown Ups 2 11 times. There's nothing in that. That's not a thing.
Starting point is 00:18:20 52 times? Yeah. That's a thing. That's pretty interesting. You've got to get guests every time now, though. You can't do this on your own every time. There's a thing. That's pretty interesting. You've got to get guests every time now, though. You can't do this on your own every time. There's no way. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I feel like that's coming from a place of being concerned for our mental well-being, and rightly so. I don't think you two can be friends after this. I think we've grown together and we've grown apart. I think it's made us closer. It's a weird sense of camaraderie that is created from just diving into this little pit
Starting point is 00:18:47 you've got to stop comparing it to wars it's not like a war we're in the trenches together watching this terrible film week after week trying to enjoy
Starting point is 00:18:55 the horrible acting and extras that they picked up who don't have very similar to war what I was going to say that Rose said though which I thought was on point
Starting point is 00:19:04 was it's like a really well produced but terrible 48 hour film festival film yes war. What I was going to say that Rose said though which I thought was on point was it's like a really well produced but terrible 48 hour film festival film. Yes. Like it's just it's just it really hit me
Starting point is 00:19:12 today when watching it. It's just so many disparate parts and they think that to create a sense of cohesion if they reference things that
Starting point is 00:19:18 they've introduced earlier in the film there'll be payoff but there's no payoff because you don't care about anyone. None of it is amounting to anything and it is. It's a fucking high budget too long 48 hour film festival film it's a trojan
Starting point is 00:19:30 polished herd i thought at the beginning when they show all their different lives you think okay there's four stories for the whole film that's what it tricks you into doing you go adam sandler has got his crazy family who are all out of control and there's a stag in the house. And the guy from Mike and Molly has got a really stupid kid and he's got to figure that out. And Chris Rock's anniversary is happening and David Spade's got a son he's just heard about. So you think that's the whole film, is those four stories. And the fact that that doesn't even last two minutes.
Starting point is 00:20:06 All their lives change in the next scene. They abandon it immediately. It just bounces around. An interesting thing that I would like to mention this week is that I thought I noticed it in the first watch today and then I looked out for it and definitely noticed it in the second one. Chris Rock's character's name is never mentioned in the film. Not once.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Because I asked Monty when we were... We went and did a little press thing. We did some radio to do publicity for our comedy shows, but we ended up just talking about the podcast. Because that's what we do now. And on the way there, I was like, do you know what Chris Rock's character's name is? Because I feel like we've seen this double-digit times now.
Starting point is 00:20:48 We should know what everyone's name is. Couldn't think of it. And then on the second viewing, I tried to capture any moment where anyone says his name. It's not there. The first time you know what his name is is in the credits, and it's Kurt. I think surely there's more examples of that in the film.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I can't think of a lot of people's that in the film. I can't think of a lot of people's names in that film. Salma Hayek, what's her name in it? They mention that? They do, they do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Rudolph, mention her name? Yeah, she's Deanne. They say that. I mean, but it's stuff, it's just, they're throwing so much at you, it's really difficult to remember the specifics
Starting point is 00:21:22 of everyone. Yeah. But they should name, just once, they should name just once. They should say Chris Rock's name. Oh yeah. I mean a lot of things they should. I think there's only a few films where that doesn't happen ever.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Another thing I want to drill into while we've got you James you're obviously a comedy fan. Any of the people in this film have you ever grown up admiring or respecting their work? Are are you a chris rock stand-up fan um some chris rock stand-ups yeah really good um i i used to love adam sandler when i was growing up i used to proper i used to watch happy gilmore all the time and um i really liked wedding singer still really like wedding singer i think that's a really good film and i really like punch joint love uh and i used
Starting point is 00:22:04 to watch all of his comedies. I thought they were really, really funny. And what I liked about them was that it was just him and his mates goofing around and it didn't matter. But his old films, even they had a really simple plot that at least went through it. But now all of his stuff is ridiculous. Like nothing's relevant at all. And like, where's that film, that 51st Dates film, where he's an animal doctor. He's a vet.
Starting point is 00:22:28 And the only reason he's a vet is so that they can do a scene where some animal shits itself. I can't remember what the animal is. But it's just like... Because that's not relevant for the whole film. It is relevant for a bit where he shoves his hand up his butt and it poos over everyone. And so it just becomes irrelevant. Whereas The Wedding Singer, it was relevant that he was a wedding singer.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Throughout the whole film, it was important. So how do you, I mean, does it stir anything in you to see them all just mailing in, cashing a check like this? Or it's just, you're just like, fuck it, who cares? They don't. Yeah, I think good on them. I think they don't care.
Starting point is 00:22:59 And if people are going to keep on filling out the cinemas watching this, then they deserve everything they get, not watching these films. No one to blame but ourselves. Speaking of watching this sort of thing at the film, Tim, you were saying earlier you read a Reddit AMA with David Spade? Yeah, on the website reddit.com, David Spade didn't ask me anything, which is like a Q&A session, and he mentioned that there is a distinct possibility
Starting point is 00:23:25 of Grown Ups 3. Yeah. Like, I think he said that they might have started working on the script for it. Well, the whole... It scares the shit out of me. The fact that the pregnancy thing's tied in at the end suggests that there's more to come
Starting point is 00:23:35 from these lovable characters and families. Well, there's infinite stuff. They don't have to ever stop. That whole film is a series of just, like, random events that just keep on happening to them they can do it forever they don't ever
Starting point is 00:23:46 have to stop doing these films they can just have a next film they can sit down and start it now and go right it starts with
Starting point is 00:23:52 he wakes up in a skate park and a skateboarder runs over his head he chases the skateboarder for ages and then he catches him and breaks
Starting point is 00:23:59 his skateboard and we'll bring that back later on in the film and then we go to Chris Rock and Chris Rock's at the swimming pool with his daughter,
Starting point is 00:24:06 and he jumps in the pool, and then he gets his ankle bracelet, he's got that on him, he gets caught on the ladder, and he's like swimming around, and then a kid comes along and pees on him. No, yeah, I mean... Just do that.
Starting point is 00:24:16 You're the money. You make a whole film out of it. We pitched another sequel in the grips of delirium after the 48-hour film festival, when we hadn't slept and we watched it, sort of in a group viewing. Afterwards, we got quite deep in the grips of delirium after the 48-hour film festival, when we hadn't slept and we watched it, and it's sort of in a group viewing. Afterwards, we got quite deep in the idea of doing a Kickstarter for Grown Ups 3D.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Right, yeah. And we'd ask people to pledge on Twitter how much they'd donate using the hashtag Grown Ups 3D, and we got a little bit of heat. There'd be a lot more boners in Grown Ups 3D, I feel. Oh, the boobies, yeah. Those are boners, and yeah. It'd just be a horrible idea for society.
Starting point is 00:24:47 We should probably wrap this thing up. Guy Montgomery, I want to check in with your mental stability and just assess where you're at. A cool dozen watches now, or 13? No, we call it a dozen officially. Okay, 12 and a half. To Guinness World Records, we'd say it's a dozen. A cool dozen, you've seen it twice today.
Starting point is 00:25:04 That's right how are you feeling? look man I mean next week we're doing a live record on the Friday so that means that I've got a week
Starting point is 00:25:11 and a bit off I mean do we? yeah fuck man I don't know no we do it on Sunday what day is it today?
Starting point is 00:25:21 no we're doing it next Friday it's Wednesday we'll do one before then no that doesn't make any sense doesn't it? it's one a week okay look we don't need to talk logistics mate
Starting point is 00:25:29 I'm feeling good I'm glad we had James this week I think he breathed new life into the film I think he's right we might need to get more regular guests I mean I don't know how much more new stuff I can find in this thing I'm fucking working my ass off over here
Starting point is 00:25:42 oh do you have a shining light? my shining light this week I said it was that and you said I might have used it before but I liked it anyway it was twice today
Starting point is 00:25:49 I genuinely laughed at the moment it's in the supermarket the lady Penny who wears a barrette she points it at she says there's a moment
Starting point is 00:25:56 of confusion and Adam Sandler like accused of having brain damage or something and it was just I don't know it was a scripted joke
Starting point is 00:26:02 which worked for me today you go how are you doing what's your shining light let's get the fuck out of here okay but I also really quickly want to introduce and it was just, I don't know, it was a scripted joke which worked for me today. You go. How are you doing? What's your shining light? Let's get the fuck out of here. Okay, but I also really quickly want to introduce a new segment that'll be at the tail. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Just bear with me on this. Okay. Firstly, my mental state is bad. I am like, I'm quite terrified now of having to watch it another 40 times. Like, genuine fear. We've done more than 20% of the work. Yeah, that's a fifth, mate. And I feel...
Starting point is 00:26:29 James, you were sitting next to me. You captured some of the mood, like a splashback. Oh, it's horrible. Horrible to see. Yeah. I never wanted to see a person like that. And I'm going through that another 40 times.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Like, I hate the movie. I hate watching it. I hate the experience. It's getting pretty bleak. What was your shining light? My shining light today was in the scene where they're at the garage uh and um haggins reveals that he's been fooling around with uh quote-unquote fabio the um the muscular lady and uh oh what does he say he says oh he's talking about hiccups and again he says she's really hot
Starting point is 00:27:03 and then she goes if she's so hot, why don't you make her your late night booty call? And then Kevin James says something, and then he says, oh, no, she's going to kick the crap out of me. And there's an extra that they cut to who is an old man working in the garage who looks back inquisitively, and I just think he nails it.
Starting point is 00:27:20 He was my shining light today. There's a triumph of watching it 12 times, Tim, that you picked her up on that. I'm really proud of you. My new segment for this podcast is called Top Three. There's a triumph of watching it 12 times, Tim, that you picked her up on that. I'm really proud of you. My new segment for this podcast is called Top Three. Let's blitz through it. We're going to do a Top Three every week on a new thing, and today's Top Three is going to be the Top Three Stunts.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Okay. Counting down backwards, obviously. We haven't talked about this at all, so this is going to be a shit show. Definitely one of the top... Okay. Officer Dante on skis on the roof of course yeah comes charging down shooting guns in the air and lands in the water great phenomenal stunt really good really good physical humor great gag uh james you do one um i would say the uh when swanson is on the
Starting point is 00:27:58 blow-up life raft and rolls into the rec center or whatever it's some building it's not even there even say what it is but then just a little roly-poly. I like that. I like it when he does that. For me, it would be the Shaquille O'Neal cartoon throw of a man over a house. Yeah, I thought that really... Who definitely would have died.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Yeah. A couple of people die in this film, if you kind of look at the biology of it. Certainly who should die. Nick Swartzen, when they're in the bus, you see how they rip him down, he just drops on his neck and then slides right down the back.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Smashes his head on the back. All right, so there you go. Brand new segment, brand new guest. It's been a hell of a week. Next week, only one episode coming out on the Friday. It's a live record at the Classic. So if you want to come down and watch it, it's happening at 5.30.
