part two to Prawn Salad, but apparently this is it. This is episode number 31 you're about to hear,
which now I think about it. So so i did 29 but then guy would
have done 30 so i don't i would love to get guys take on this i don't remember exactly what happened
accurately but i suspect what happened is we had a little bit of the hash muffins left and had them
for this viewing there's experimentation with the form we're coming
in with a different bit of the intro song which really threw me listening to it now um having
you know gone through the rest of these episodes in the first season so far and we're playing with
the form of what makes sense what is a sensible thing to commit to the microphone uh apologies
in advance i do i dropped the R word in this one.
My apologies for that.
It was a different time out of the lexicon now.
You're about to hear two very giggly boys,
very giggly boys trying to keep their shit together.
And this is the bit that I thought was in Prawn Salad
because I remember this whole thing about the vaporization due to moonlight
discussion that happened during one of the watches and i always thought that that was in 29 but um
no it crops up here it'll make as much sense in context as it does me just referring to it now
it's it's it's absolute nonsense enjoy two of the highest guys you've
ever heard in your life do a podcast together guitar solo Sometimes I wish we could take a trip by the lake
But if I'm in trouble and hard I can't pay for another day
I will search for that place
But till I find it all I can say
Alright, yes. All right.
Yes.
Are these things going?
This feels insane.
This feels insane.
I guess we're off
I was actually stunned
I thought that was a false start
So we're in
Hello, welcome along to the worst idea of all time podcast
Me Guy Montgomery
And me Tim Batt
A podcast in which
we watch and review grown-ups to once a week for a year this is our 31st episode welcome to any of
our new listeners it sounds a little crazy on paper when you lay it down yeah yeah well obviously
but we're here uh and we've got we have to acknowledge we do have some new listeners
who have come along courtesy of a shout-out we got from...
How did this get made?
That's how the jingle goes.
That's good.
They very generously just noticed that we were doing it.
Paul Scheer mentioned us.
That's the biggest deal.
That was big for me.
Huge.
That was a very exciting and if i had won
a google run competition for podcasts where it was like um you got a ten thousand dollar first
place prize yeah and we won that i would still be more stoked with the shout out from paul share
there's a there's a look of earnest there's an earnest look in your eyes, Tim,
and I can really appreciate that.
Yeah.
I'm just saying thanks for,
and everyone on how this is getting made.
It means about $10,000 to us.
You pretty much.
At least.
Yeah.
At least, like at a minimum.
Which is insane.
Well, it sounds insane. it's a lot of money
it's a good thing yeah anyway so so here we are we've just watched the movie for the
i say thanks thanks and welcome obviously a lot of you are american which i'm very excited about
we can see where you're from on our on the sets and there's a lot of americans coming in
getting on board we're like the GCSB of our own podcast
there's someone at the door
what are you looking at?
I'm just looking around the room
okay
look
it's a good room
we're in Tim's lounge
he's got a lot of cool stuff going on
there's a picture of Tim
there's two pictures of Tim
in his own lounge
there's one of him looking
looking down on
that's absolutely true
that's the weird thing
a really nice headshot of Tim looking down on everyone
saying, what is that?
Saying that speech bubble?
Voting is sexy.
Voting is sexy.
And it's above the fireplace.
It's got like prime position.
That's where you'd put
the best painting you have.
And you guys have just got
a picture of you.
Tim Bat propaganda.
And it's very propagandist gay
it's like a
Kim Jong Il shot
I went out
shopping one day
to the supermarket
and came back
and they were all
worshipping the fireplace
and I don't know
what the fuck
was going on
your flatmates were
worshipping the fireplace
yeah yeah
they were worshipping
the fireplace
on their hands and knees
and so I came
and started worshipping with them and then I think Nick poked me and he goes no no you don't
understand and pointed up and i looked up and that fucking picture of me was nailed to the wall
it's quite confronting shit yeah i had no idea and what happened what happened next then i got
real scared
because the landlord probably doesn't want us
putting nails in the wall.
Yeah, but when the landlord sees the picture,
they'll probably understand what's going on here.
They'll know who's in charge now.
He came around.
He saw it, but he may have just glossed over it
because I don't know if he was paying too much attention
to the fact that it's nails.
He was probably intimidated by it, if you ask me.
He probably took one look at it
and then quickly turned his head because he didn't want any more details you ask me he probably took one look at it and then quickly
turned his head
because he didn't
want any more
details
the funny thing is
he only saw it
so quickly
I was the only
guy in the house
I saw it
so maybe you're
right
he saw it
he was like
wait a minute
is that
is that the guy
that just opened
is that you
oh my god
you're the guy
and then
freaked out.
He doesn't want to take on the Fuhrer.
He's like, do you just put these up when the flatmates go out?
And then when they come back, you put the normal pictures back up, do you?
Nope.
This is what you do when it's just you at home.
You just put some pictures up.
If you just walk Around the place
Positive affirmations
You can do it Tim
Go get him Tiger
Five o'clock rolls around
You take the posters
Back down
It's all gotten very
That one I think
I was going to burn
That's a good one
I think it was in the fire
The fire pile
Or in the recycle
It was somewhere
I threw it out
and the flatmates found it
and then came back, it's like you're respawning
for everything you try and throw away to come back
yeah
anyway, so we've watched the movie
grown ups too
it's a great movie, I've compiled a list of things
I thought during the movie
we need to explain
you can explain that Tim It's a great movie. I've compiled a list of things I thought during the movie. So we need to explain.
You can explain that, Tim.
The guy's been taking notes through the entire movie because the last couple we've been a bit hazy about that.
And he's been sure to include a very large level of detail
and it's laid out on his MacBook Air.
Before you lay it to waste,
can I please explain at least what i was trying to capture uh with this tech setup with the text edit document i've created
uh so i was pretty much because we always sort of scatter our thoughts down somewhere during the
movie uh and i was doing it on the computer and then while tim was doing a technical setup which
was taking a little while my mind was wandering and i was looking at the document i thought
to make it easy for us I'll try and arrange it
into sort of an easy to use guide
to what we should touch on during the podcast
and I've gone into some level
of detail, I've used different
font sizes, I've attached
quotes from the internet, I've put a big picture
of Arnold Schwarzenegger with the sun in a urinal
You've ensured that the
important bits are in bold
Yeah, and so I've got that ready for us
i think there's a hyperlink on here so it just it looks like digital chicken scratch
it doesn't make any fucking sense there's no like rhyme or reason do you want me to do it looks
i said this earlier but it looks like the cave drawings of the retarded.
It is...
Honestly, it's actually really good.
So, go to the top.
It's just like...
It's like, you know in movies
when they stumble into the really psycho dude's house
and he's got newspaper clippings of everything?
That's what this is.
It's this level of fucking like it's insane i'm
gonna kill someone if you just give me me and my cave drawing one shot we're gonna do the best
damn podcast you've ever experienced bud okay come on this journey with me words on here as well like
oh that i guess they make sense they don't seem to though no this is this is why it's so good
it's because to anyone else this document to anyone else bro this is why this is why it's so much you're the only other
person who could possibly understand the contents of this document and you've just lain it completely
to waste in front of my very eyes you're the only other person in the world who could possibly have
understood what was going on here and you've just said mate this looks like you've picked up a piece of wood and just scratched it on the ground
for a while do you think that it would be possible for you to read it in the morning kind of as a new
person like from probably not with the same confidence that i could read it now but uh
and say i think i think you're gonna enjoy it. So this bit here, it's all right.
We got a letter.
So you told me.
Huge letters.
Yeah, because I can remember it.
It's just, it's like there's a lot of small text around it.
So when you kind of just glance at the page, you go,
we got a letter.
You're doing an Adam Sandler impersonation while reading that. We got a letter!
You're doing an Adam Sandler impersonation while reading that.
Anyhow, we should go into the contents of it.
I don't want to shoot the messenger if the messenger's got a dope message.
Well, they do.
You told me about this messenger.
I haven't actually read it.
I copied and pasted it without looking at it.
From where?
We got it on Facebook from some guy.
Oh, yes, yes, yes yes yes Okay I know what this is
Okay great
Took a long time to get to what this is
Okay cool
So
We got a message from one of our Facebook fans
Which is cool
I don't want to call them Facebook fans
I want to say people who have liked our group on the Facebook
You might fucking hate us We can just call them friends fans. I want to say people who have liked our group on the Facebook. You might fucking hate us.
We can just call them friends or fans.
We haven't really had this conversation.
Anyway.
You say friend of the podcast.
That's a cool thing to say.
Friend of the podcast.
It seems overly congenial.
It's too much.
If anyone listens to this, then we could be their friends.
So a friend of the podcast wrote us.
I can't pronounce their name
because there's a lot of what looks to me
to be Russian characters in it.
Possibly Korean.
They could go either way, eh?
They could be Korean.
I'm too ignorant on the matter to possibly guess.
It looks slightly Arabic.
I'm not sure what language that name is
It's not important
What is important are the contents of the
I will read the letter
Which arrived just a day or two ago
Okay
I've been listening to your podcast for about a week now
Got through all the episodes fast
English is not my first language
And although it's been years
Since I started learning it I've found it is sort of episodes fast english is not my first language and although it's been years since i started
learning it i've found it is sort of a bouquet of various accents all understandable to me to
various degrees and yours is quite interesting that's all one sentence with some commas in there
to let you break and the next sentence goes i've been getting used to I've been getting used to the New Zealand accent thanks to you guys now.
I have lost the ability to read, right?
That's terrifying.
Next sentence.
I can have a crack at reading.
What I'm trying to say is not only is your podcast entertaining, it is also educational in many spheres of life.
Who would have known Connecticut was a state indeed?
Not me, but I know that now.
Thanks to you.
Loving your podcast.
Keep up the good work.
I hope this was the right place to message you.
That is such a lovely message.
The idea that someone...
It's unspeakably cool
the fact that someone would use this to help
them learn a language is frankly
worrying and also really
humbling
yeah I'm touched and worried too
on both of those things
thank you very much
that explains the we got a letter
big heading ahead lined up for you there, Tim.
Because it got me all misty.
All misty, Tim.
All misty.
What else do you want to delve into on your chalkboard?
I'm mentally insane.
I don't know.
Do you want to do...
Dude, this is like a a fucking magic eye
like you'd have to be
very
like squinty
to see into this one
to see the real picture
well
what we could do
we'll upload the
the document
to the Facebook page
after the podcast
and you can have a lot of look inside
I haven't really reread it yet
it's pretty
it's pretty alright
I mean it's going to look weird to you
but
I can stand by it
I mean if I had to do a PowerPoint presentation with it
tomorrow morning,
I could explain everything in good conscience.
What do you want to do first, Steve?
Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour or Bernie Schwartz Party Time?
What did Gracie just to be able to say?
Those are good options.
Hey, guy, what do you want to kick off with today?
Do you want to start with the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour,
or would you rather get into it first off with the Paddy Schwartz Party Time?
That is so good.
What an awesome option.
If you wake up in the morning and someone walks into your bedroom and they go,
good morning, how would you like to start your day?
The Steve Buscemi mystery tour or the patty
schwartz party time experience i reckon that would be even better than that because you'd be
in a hotel and it's like when you scored some sweet deal on a like a holiday website you and
your mate are there you got separate rooms because you got some great deal and he like kicks the door
into your room and bursts in like hey man what do you want to start the day with?
Steve Buscemi mystery tour?
Or do you want to hit Patty Schwartz party time?
Like, you're just like, oh, fuck yeah.
Let's fucking do it.
Let's get into it.
And then whatever you choose, that Steve Buscemi.
It's rad.
And if you say Steve Buscemi mystery tour, Steve Buscemi walks through the door and says, well, come on, let's go.
Let's do it.
Let's hit it.
Over to Patty Schwartz party time
Patty Schwartz shows up
in a helicopter
next to the hotel
throws a rock
through your window
jumps through
scoops you up
in his arms
jumps back into
the helicopter
and flies you
to a penthouse party
in Las Vegas
Nevada
which is also
a pretty cool option
that'll do it
Peg
okay so I'm saying that Steve Buscemi That'll do, pig Okay
Oh, someone's saying that
Steve Buscemi mystery to him
Is us trying to figure out
What one of the characters in the film
Has had done to him in the first film
Which, despite the fact that we've now seen
Grown Ups 2 32 times
We haven't seen Grown Ups 1 ever
Either of us
So something happened to Steve Buscemi's character in the first film
and we're trying to fill in the blanks now here are our clues it put him in a cast that
strung his arms up in the like touchdown formation for like a year and a half and also he had um was
it 40 feeling in his body yeah 40 amount of time 40 feeling in his body. So Guy and I tried to put our medical hats on
and try and deduce what could possibly have caused that kind of an injury.
And what did you posit?
What were the cliff notes last time?
Chris Rock tackled him directly from behind
and caused quite significant nerve damage when he dislocated a vertebra.
Yeah, it's not bad.
It would be pretty aggressive for Chris Rock to do that,
but I mean, medically, I think it sort of checks out.
Yeah, it's all there.
It is all there.
Okay.
So that was last week.
So do I get to do a guess now?
Yeah.
Okay.
I've got a theory.
I'm just compiling this now in my mind but i'm gonna use some of my reference points here on the document if you don't mind yes um so what
happened is because in this film grown-ups 2 uh four of the characters the four main characters
they all have to jump off suicide 35 at some point they're made to by the frat boys you know this you're familiar with this
so this is a 35 meter foot drop 35 foot drop uh and they all jump off it naked and for guys who
claim to have been jumping off this rock quite a lot they have all got truly appalling jumping
technique the terrible diving form all of them are just really off the rails chris rock uh he goes down he sort of takes
a front haunt like he almost belly flops but he puts his limbs up in front of him to stop himself
from doing that if you're doing that on a 35 foot drop dropped an infant and the infant didn't turn
in any way shape or form before they hit the water if you have a 30 or a dog one of those
but he certainly wasn't onto it. And then,
who jumps next?
Adam Sandler.
Adam Sandler goes with a wide-legged approach,
which is insane.
It's a 35-foot drop.
He'd be lucky not to shatter a couple of shin bones
with that sort of fucking laissez-faire attitude
to those drops.
You will literally tear yourself from your arsehole, son.
You can't be diving up a 35-foot cliff like that.
proceeds to show reckless disregard for his tailbone as he lunges
from the rock hurtling towards the water at a rate of knots for landing squarely on his is this
your coccyx yeah i think it is i'm pretty sure and then kevin james still wearing his shoes for
who knows what reason towel around his neck yells out mama he also goes for an open
legged approach and lands on top of david spade which would break his neck and possibly damage
kevin jones's pelvis anyway so while these are all reckless jumps they all seem to get away with it
just fine uh which is a miracle if you ask me. And I think that in the first movie,
as evidenced by the technique
in the second movie,
Steve Buscemi's character,
Wiley,
probably had to jump off
something high
and through whatever
stupid fucking technique
he used,
because they're all morons,
he fucking threw his body out
in that specific way.
Maybe Chris Rock
gave him a fright,
he hid behind a bush and he went,
boo!
And then he went,
ah!
And that's the injury he got.
And he just has always begrudged Chris Rock for that.
And that is the Steve Buscemi mystery tour.
The Steve Buscemi mystery.
I don't know how to fit all those
summer boards into that chain.
What's the next thing?
Yeah, look at you coming around. Look at you coming around to the notepad.
It's because I drifted, I'll admit, when you were talking just before.
And then I was like, we said some really interesting shit while the movie was playing.
Yeah.
And you would have captured some of them, which is why this just looks mental to me.
That's right.
Do you want to do a Padty schwartz party time quickly um yeah
so it goes patty schwartz party time patty schwartz party time party time
uh so you can host this one because you told me about this picture you caught me onto it so it's I think someone actually
on the Facebook group
page
whatever it is
I think
they put me onto this
I think
or someone tweeted me maybe
so it's a picture
of Arnie
and the photo looks to be
20 years old
yeah
yeah about 20 years old
no I'd say
seeing his paddies no he's turning 21 so it would probably be like he probably looks like 20 years old? Yeah. Yeah, about 20 years old. No, I'd say...
That would fit as well.
Seeing as Paddy's...
No, he's turning 21,
so it would probably be like...
Oh, shit.
He probably looks like maybe
five,
which would make it, what,
like 15?
15?
15 years old.
Let's have a 15-year-old photo
of Arnold Schwarzenegger
at a urinal
in a bar
with his two sons.
Hmm.
I feel like we've paid
a lot of attention
on how old any who
it could
in fairness to
to Arnie
this could be about
it could just be
some sort of
other restroom
like it could be
a gym
a public swimming pool
uh
like a YMCA
could be a
urinal in a mall
that could be
at a
sort of a fair
or in a community hall
probably not a church churches would look mall that could be a sort of a fair or in a community hall probably not a church
churches would look like that if it had if it was like a church school yeah yeah i reckon
yeah yeah school could be the kid's school arnie is looking down seemingly in his son's
what do you say genitals he says penis mate that yeah don't be afraid to say the word penis
a lot of a lot of us have them tim
yeah i don't know where i was going with that anyway so he's posted this photo
yeah and he's posted this photo and sorry posted this photo and what he said
to his son was
happy

to a great son
who
has grown
into a great man
Patrick

all these cool photos of him with his friends just doing awesome stuff i'm pretty sure he lives in la
he must live in la of course he does and it looks kick-ass do you want to be patty schwartz i want
to be patty schwartz but i'd hang out with him for a weekend for sure he got all these dope parties
they're driving these cars around.
He's doing all these modeling shoots for Tom Ford.
Shit.
This kid's 20.
He just turned 21.
Jesus.
He's just like, boom.
And so like whenever he shows up, I guess whenever he shows up at his friend's house,
everyone's just hanging out,
usually on a Saturday night.
I'm like, oh man, this party's kind of okay,
but it's missing something.
And then Petty Schwartz shows up. Yeah, and then Petty Schwartz comes bursting into the room. oh man this party's kind of okay but it's missing something when the petty shorts yeah and petty
shorts comes bursting to the road he goes he waits he waits for them to say this so he's sort of
hanging out he's kind of hanging out outside the party waiting for his entrance point and then
and then whatever the friends say oh man i don't know i really, I can't quite put my finger on it, but this party's missing something.
He comes in and he goes,
It's Pettis Woods
party time. Hey, Pettis Woods
party time. It's party time
with Pettis Woods
party time.
Yeah. I'm 21.
Let's drink tequila
in Las Vegas.
I'm Pettis Woods. It's party time. Yeah. let's drink tequila in Las Vegas on Paddy Schwartz
it's party time
yeah
shit yeah man
didn't see that coming
neither did I man
oh man
um in some view okay so I'm gonna
start reading the small print on your
notebook now
the mother of Braden Higgins doesn't I'm going to start reading the small print on your notebook now.
The mother of Braden Higgins doesn't tell David Spade he has a child for 17 years.
Holds on to the information until the Braden is on a train from Florida, then calls David to tell him.
Yeah, I understand that. The real point behind that, underpinning that thought, was that David Spade, following the logic of this movie,
would have to have been told at some point that his son's coming to visit
and he goes, yep, awesome, and just hung up the phone
and didn't ask for any more details.
The phone call must have been like, hey, David, you've got a son.
It's going to be at the train station in a week.
He's like okay awesome
boom hangs up the phone
the reason why this has to be true
is because the way that the movie
has presented the evidence of what David
Spade knows there's no like
room for confusion here this is
the only possible way that that phone call happened
because he knows that he's got a son
but absolutely
nothing else but he doesn't
he's finding out single other he's finding the information out as the audience are also
finding the information he's going what who who are you hiccups mcgee he's like what oh i can i
know about with hiccups mcgee so his memory like so he did like get this phone call out of the blue,
ringing on his wall in his house, picks it up.
Hey, you Brent Higgins?
Yeah.
Oh, you've got a son.
Okay, that's cool.
Walks out of the room.
Just leaves.
That's right.
So he shows up.
It's just insane
it's insane
it's so reckless
from David Spade
like
who would deal
with that situation
and his mum
who is dealing
with that situation
like that
you know
yeah well
you know Brad
yeah I am curious
about that
so it's ludicrous
and so Brayden
who's just
the pawn in this
weird game these
two former lovers are playing this told you're going on a train from florida to connecticut or
wherever why is that you mean you did okay me go yeah me go no go stay you have to go, okay, me go, summertime.
And so he just gets on a train. It's like what you were talking about before, man.
No one else on earth would understand what you were just fucking saying.
Yeah, absolutely.
Just throwing random words around.
What you're saying right now resembles the Enigma code.
And I'm like that guy who cracked it
we're we're a team we're a team cheers we just bumped microphones
uh what else we got i told you i'd do a real good
yes clint eastwood impression you sure do while Tim was doing
all the tech stuff
before the
before the podcast
I was just watching
a clip of Dirty Harry
the do you feel
lucky punk speech
so I've always wanted to be
I started wanting to
say it to people
but I don't know the quote
so I had to
watch the clip
I want to paint you
a picture folks
as Guy's telling you that
preparing to do this
this performance for you he's sipping just sipping his ice water and at the moment he's wearing like
a long sleeve skivvy and he could not look like a bigger fuckwit c-grade actor preparing
for some role that he doesn't really need but he kind of wants let me
let me first say this
okay
my story is just a little scratchy so in the lower register
of Quincy Stewart's rage
please bear that in mind I may not be able to hit the note
this evening but rest assured
this is going to be completely underwhelming
I can barely remember watching the clip earlier but but i'm just gonna do a really hammy clint eastwood okay
cool man uh-huh i know what you're thinking did he fire six shots or only five well to tell you
the truth and all this excitement i kind of lost track myself. But the thing is, this is a.44 Magnum.
The most powerful handgun in the world.
It'll blow your head clean off.
You can ask yourself one question.
Do I feel lucky?
Well, do you, punk?
Got a little bit Al Pacino at the end there, I thought.
It was not a bad effort at all, bro.
Thank you.
I'm proud of you. Thank you.
It was real good.
There were bits I lost a little bit, but there were moments when I was hitting him.
You know, that's pretty much time.
I think.
Seriously?
It's been 20, yeah.
It's been 27 minutes.
About that.
That's crazy.
I think a little less.
Or should we ram in our shining lights?
Oh, God.
Get out of here.
The document has dominated this fucking podcast.
I'm sorry for that.
Unless you've liked it.
Oh, God.
I think it's been pretty good fun.
Okay.
Shining light.
Shining light.
You had a very funny one.
Here's mine.
So, let me set the scene for you all.
Adam's endless daughter is at a school's ballet recital
in the big town school hall.
And it looks like it can fit 1,500 people.
And it's pretty packed out.
The parents were there.
And the kids are about to perform.
And against the back wall are the cops and higgins and uh all that all of adam's friends all of the buddies if you look behind
peter dante's head who is the co-police person yeah next to Shaq Officer Dante yeah if you look
above his head
there's a photo
of like
six kids
and a
woman figure
who you're supposed
to assume is like
a mum or a teacher
just above his head
in shot
what's the
mise-en-scene
of the photo
it's arranged
kind of like
almost
a poster
for a musical
they're all in a v formation coming towards the camera
so do you do it might not exist but do you think that the poster was like a poster for a school
performance maybe or something like it i've got to rush through this okay
so my shining because there's something really important i need to get to okay you cannot
let me forget this well you've got to go for it oh my god this will change lives but you have to
give your shining light real quick okay finish mine so that photo i reckon is the family of like
an executive producer or something in the film that's my theory that really took me that was
my shining light go okay mine was Adam Sandler's line
when he's
like playing defender
against his son
kicking
he goes
I'm a crazy
give me that football
and the little
running towards his son
it's just
it's probably just
a funny little ad-lib
I think it's genuinely
a funny moment
from Sandler
in the movie
full credit to the guy
I think he really
nailed that one
and that was my shining light now do your important thing so do you remember from Sandler in the movie. Full credit to the guy. I think he really nailed that one.
And that was my shining light.
Now do your important thing.
So do you remember a certain conversation that we had while the movie was on
about people getting vaporized
if they're exposed to moonlight
outside of the ice cream parlor or a house?
Yes, I remember that very well.
It's, I mean,
there's quite a big concept to introduce
on the back end
of the podcast
but we're just
going to go over time
we're just going to
riff this one through
oh we've got to
wrap up now
we've got to
just get it out there
I guess I can't
just throw
while the momentum's there
that made up that
sentence and not
explain it a bit
we're sorry
for going over time
if you have to
pause this
and you know
go and do something
else and come back
and take the last
six minutes later
that's okay if you usually listen to it for a set amount of time
and then you have to start doing the task like if it's exactly the amount of time it takes for
your bus or your bike ride to work or whatever the tone of the movie changes when they're at
the ice cream father at night and i think that it's one of those movies where it becomes a
completely different genre but they've just done it so well that no one's one of those movies where it becomes a completely different genre, but they've just done it so well
that no one's kind of picked up on it.
Okay, you're going to need to explain this further.
So Bump D's date with Charlotte.
Yeah, at the ice cream parlor.
At the ice cream parlor.
Things are going great.
Yeah, they're going pretty well
until a frog turns up.
Yeah, a freaky looking little frog.
It's so, for people who haven't seen the movie it's so hard to tell
what is coming out because we're a bit tired if you know what i mean or if it's actually in the
movie like if we're making it up or not the frog yeah the frogs in the movie i know but like
what this the stuff that we're saying is as ridiculous as the movie is in a way like it's
hard to discern.
Well, if you start looking for a line between what's more ridiculous between this podcast
and the fact someone made this movie, Tim, things get pretty freaking crazy.
Oh, that is a grey, blurry line.
Oh, wow.
You either die as a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain right
that's right
that's a
Batman reference
are we gonna do
this vaporizing thing
let's do it
so the tone
of the movie changed
so they're at the
ice cream parlor
and
it's also where
what's the hot girl's
name at school
Nancy Arbuckle
turns up
to get some ice creams off Greg Fader.
And anyway, the tone really changed for me.
Things started getting real dark, real bleak.
Yeah.
And it kind of started morphing into like a terror sci-fi kind of thing.
So then I started thinking about it
and I arrived somehow at the conclusion that everyone and just
in this town we've grown up to a set in Connecticut um if you're out after sunset and you're not in
like a property like by a house or at the ice cream parlor only if you're anywhere else that
aren't those two locations you get get vaporized. By the moonlight.
The moonlight thing came later as I tried to kind of retrofit something on top of it.
Okay.
Yeah.
The original idea was that they just, the atmosphere just destroys them.
So people all over, people in public spaces will just be vaporized.
Anyway, so you proposed this to me
right yeah and i was like that is insane this doesn't make any sense whatsoever you did you
said that out loud many times like several times to you i said you've lost it and then uh we arrived
at the party scene and uh someone was like telling adam sandler she was pregnant and then the guests arrived and she was like,
I guess they're here.
And you in like full earnest with doe eyes were like,
I see how they got there.
I was like, I don't know how that fucking happened.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
What were your exact words?
I think I said, well, how the fuck did that happen?
That would have been vaporised by the moonlight.
That's right.
And when you said that,
in full earnest,
I was like,
oh, holy shit,
he believes in this thing.
And that is just amazing to me.
And so then from there forward,
I completely understood what you were going for and watched the movie
with exactly the same perspective.
And it is awesome.
We've got to wrap up the podcast and I feel like
we're on such thin ice
doing this one after doing
episode 29
prawn salad
it's
a famous ep
the other thing is
he's referred back to the document
folks just for those who can't see
i was gonna say um i had an idea for episode 33
i know where this is going yes it's called the uh i don't really know where this came from
and i don't think it's a very good idea especially to say it out loud and if this goes to see the light of day no anyway it's called um the bubble bath special
if we watch the movie in a bubble bath but on stage oh yeah no that was a different idea
that was if we wanted to do sort of a charity fundraiser, we'd do it on stage.
But you said bubble bath out of the way, though, at the time.
Yeah.
It sounds insane now.
I don't know about it.
I said it when the podcast was on a bum note,
but I can't really throw my full conviction behind that idea.
These are the ramblings of someone who is losing their grip oh man i feel like you've just blare witch the last bit of the podcast we've just a guy's gone
absolutely inside and fully snapped but we don't know whether it's a really clever construction or if we're being incredibly
voyeuristic by watching the footage
like you're
gone mate
you're out of here
I gotta say
you know it's
at the end of the day
you gotta look at the viewing
and I gotta say that's probably one of the
more enjoyable viewings
I've had recently
I really enjoyed watching
the movie with you Tim
I thought we had a good laugh
we came up with some
pretty interesting ideas
sort of that's how I feel
about the project
at this point
you know what I'm saying
like I think it was
a good night's work for us
yeah okay
cool
I like that
