2:00

is just a lovely episode. I

2:08

just listened to this episode while walking

2:10

around in the sunshine having a coffee.

2:13

Boy did it put me in a good mood. I

2:15

reckon this might be my favorite episode of the season

2:17

so far that I've heard at least because I've only

2:19

heard half of them. Rose

2:22

Matifeo is on this episode. Probably

2:25

my old flatmates for a little while

2:27

and friend to all in New

2:30

Zealand, Aotearoa. She's been based in

2:32

the UK for quite some time now. But this

2:35

is just a delightful episode because Rose

2:38

makes the correct decision to zoom

2:40

out a little bit and

2:42

start to assess what the wider

2:45

philosophical implications of this project are

2:47

for Guy and I. And

2:49

I think it just came at the exact right

2:51

part in the journey. It's

2:54

a cool let. It's a cool let. Rose is

2:56

a very cool person and what a gift that

2:58

we've got her on here as a guest. Interesting

3:02

little factoid for you about

3:04

this episode. Guy states that

3:06

he's a reverend. Spoiler

3:09

alert, sorry, that he got ordained via the internet

3:11

when he was about 14. I

3:15

tell you something, he claims that he

3:17

can marry people on this episode. I can

3:19

tell you that was not legally binding because

3:23

I got Guy to be the celebrant

3:25

at our wedding and he actually filed

3:27

all the paperwork and it just didn't

3:29

get processed on time. So

3:31

we had to get sort of

3:33

a legal one who's awesome anyway,

3:36

a very lovely woman called Emma who did

3:38

sort of the legal version and Guy did

3:40

the illegal version. So

3:44

when you hear him in this episode claim to

3:46

be able to marry people, I need

3:48

you to know that is

3:51

not true. Now

3:54

that I'm just like

3:56

fun, artifact of, I

3:58

get fact actually. artifact from

4:00

the past but fact when

4:03

you compare it to now is Rose claiming that she could

4:05

never be an actor and doesn't know how to act and

4:08

subsequently obviously this episode coming out

4:10

has this award-winning,

4:13

absolutely beloved, critically

4:16

celebrated BBC show that

4:18

she stars in It's

4:20

cool, it's cool to see what people get up

4:23

to isn't it, over the years Enjoy

4:25

the year Hello

4:40

and welcome to the worst idea of all time,

4:43

I am a whisper quiet to Matt My

4:46

name is Guy Montgomery and we've got a special guest

4:48

this week because miracles

4:50

do happen everybody, it's only Rose-Matterfeo

4:54

Hi, purely by chance really, I couldn't have

4:56

got it out of being a guest on

4:58

this podcast this week Yeah, well you're sort

5:00

of waiting for me to leave the house

5:02

here in Edinburgh No I'm not, I'm hanging

5:04

out Are you? I was eating

5:06

my granola and yogurt You

5:08

did watch, well let's be honest,

5:11

you watched the first half of the movie Look,

5:14

I've watched the first half of the movie twice now and

5:17

disappointed both times I

5:20

leave it exactly the same point I think, just

5:22

after halfway Yeah, aren't

5:24

you curious to see how they resolve all

5:26

of the conflict? No, absolutely not, I would

5:29

be happy to never either, I don't

5:31

like leaving things unfinished but I would

5:33

happily leave this film unfinished really Only

5:36

one you have, and Tim, in reference

5:38

to your whispering, what's going on with you bud? It's

5:41

the middle of the night and it's the

5:43

middle of the week and there are

5:45

many flatmates with actual real profit jobs

5:48

Just keep this shit on the D It

5:51

makes for quite a creepy vibe Yeah

5:53

man, it's intensely creepy It's

5:55

creepy for me and I'm the one whispering for

5:57

God's sake I think more than anything it would

6:00

be creepy you feel flatmates I'd rather walk out

6:02

to see you talking at normal volume into your

6:04

computer than to watch you just whispering. Having a

6:06

weird one-sided conversation about this movie. Yeah. But the

6:09

intention is that they don't wake up whatsoever so

6:11

hopefully it won't come to that. I know

6:13

but I'm just saying in a hypothetical situation if

6:16

they did it would be much more comfortable for

6:18

them if you were talking at a normal volume.

6:20

Well that's the difference between you and I guy.

6:22

I'm risk averse. You're

6:25

not risk averse at all. That's not

6:27

being a risk averse.

6:30

Is it? Someone just came on Skype. I'm awake

6:34

and I'm here and I'm talking to you guys in Edinburgh

6:36

and I've just seen the film for the 21st time

6:38

and boy did it rock my fucking world. Truly?

6:41

Yeah, no not truly. I was

6:44

so depressed bro. I was so sad and

6:46

I got really anxious and then

6:49

I started thinking about how many more times we were going

6:51

to watch and I started getting real like, is

6:54

despairing a word? Like despairing. I think that's

6:56

the word I'm hearing. So

6:59

I'm just... You were experiencing

7:02

abject despair in the face of

7:04

Adam Sandler's fucking stupid

7:06

god. You nailed it metaphor. My

7:09

question... Oh no but also this is

7:12

getting somewhere guys because 25 years.

7:16

We're nearly half way there. That is just mind

7:19

blowing. I'm really impressed now.

7:23

At first I thought you guys are just so...

7:25

This is a fucking stupid idea and it is

7:27

a stupid idea. But the more it goes on,

7:30

the more strength you're proud I

7:32

become of you two. This

7:34

is inspiring. I'm trying to get inspired

7:37

you guys because seriously it's

7:39

like... It

7:41

wasn't even a thing to achieve and

7:44

you made it a thing to

7:46

achieve. This never existed as a challenge to

7:48

anyone. This never was a thing that

7:50

anyone has done before or anyone wanted

7:52

to do because no one should do

7:54

it because it's stupid. But you guys

7:56

have actually given it... You've deemed it with

7:59

meaning. You've actually

8:02

turned something horrible into something

8:04

that is just

8:07

a beautiful fact. That's

8:10

very kind of you to say Rose. I'm

8:12

real touched by that, thank you. I've

8:15

been talking to some people I don't know,

8:17

because I've had to pass out

8:19

an opportunity to do things because of watching the

8:21

movie on this trip I've been on. And

8:24

I've said, if you hate it so much, and if

8:26

it makes you so sad, why do you keep doing

8:28

it? And the answer usually is

8:30

because no one

8:33

will remember the people who watched Grown Ups 2 25 times. And

8:36

I've said this in previous podcasts, you know? I

8:38

mean, we won't even go down

8:40

on the record books as failures because we won't

8:42

even make it to the record books. It's

8:45

got to be 50-2. There's no record

8:47

book for this. There's the same with

8:49

forging a brand new path in the record

8:52

book ourselves. Could you get into

8:54

the Goodness Book of World Records? No,

8:56

because it hasn't been verified. Although

8:58

these podcasts should probably serve as some

9:01

sort of evidence. They

9:03

had us about that. I saw

9:05

the news the other day about this really

9:07

stupid one, where the most amount of

9:10

soldiers dipped into a soft boiled egg. And

9:12

they did it in New Zealand. Of course.

9:15

Oh, so stupid. The

9:17

eggs looked really concerning. It was concerning

9:20

how undercooked they looked. Oh, that's not good. But

9:22

they all had to do it at the same

9:24

time. And it's just so stupid. So I think

9:26

don't even have to... Was it verified? It was verified. It

9:29

was a record. The irony, if

9:31

we did get this verified as a world record, would be

9:33

the person verifying it would have to actually be with us

9:35

for every screening. So they would... They would. ...

9:38

by the way, would actually be part of the world record.

9:40

Exactly. Which is kind of an

9:42

interesting concept. You guys, one of

9:44

you should have been ordained as a Guinness Book of

9:46

World Records. Fuck, you're right. I'm

9:48

ordained as a minister. Actually? I

9:51

did it online when I was like 14. Oh, God.

9:54

It's in the Church of Life. I said thank you

9:56

for you to do. I printed it out. I got

9:58

laminated at home. Because I think I... I actually

10:00

got the idea from friends because I think it means I can

10:02

marry people. Yeah you can. That's all

10:04

you can do. And also we've witnessed documents. I want

10:06

to be just the best to do that. I used

10:09

to fly when I was like 15, I'd fly as

10:11

Reverend Guy Montgomery. I've still got

10:13

that on my flyby's card to this day because they used

10:15

to let you put any title that you want but then

10:17

they changed the house later on. I'm still the Reverend on

10:19

that. My brother did that

10:21

with his one card. He was Siddigby Chicken

10:23

Caesar and it made us laugh every time.

10:26

It's a pretty funny name. You get permission

10:28

on webs, seeing that. Yeah, I haven't seen

10:30

that sketch. Oh it's so good. I was

10:32

also Chinan Lebong on my one card. That's

10:34

really good. I enjoyed it. Which is a

10:36

quote from one of the great friends episodes. So

10:38

Tim you sounded really depressed when you were

10:40

describing your viewing experience 25 times. Of

10:44

the 25, where do you think one being

10:46

the most depressed, 25 being the most enjoyable, where

10:48

do you think this screening fell for you with

10:50

regards to how you felt throughout? On a scale

10:52

of 1 to 10, how am I feeling? No,

10:54

1 to 25. So if it's

10:57

number 1, that's the worst viewing you've had so far

10:59

and if it's 25, that's the most enjoyable. Oh

11:02

okay. Probably top 5, probably 5 or 4. No,

11:08

it's pretty bad. Is everything alright at

11:10

home? Is the attention in

11:12

the flat, do you want to talk out with

11:14

us? No. No. Oh

11:17

that was a yes. Yeah, why did you make

11:19

that noise? Why did you pause like that?

11:21

No. No.

11:24

No, everything's groovy around here. I

11:27

just feel like I'm going insane. I'm in

11:29

the kitchen right now because the internet got

11:31

cut off and something happened to

11:33

do this on 3G but the only place I can get

11:35

3G in the house is in the kitchen. That

11:39

would make you feel kind of insane. Is

11:43

it dark? It's very dark. The

11:45

only thing that's on is I've got one light

11:47

and it just happens to be a fluorescent light

11:49

so it's casting a really horrible light over the

11:51

kitchen. And I'm just looking

11:53

at our stove. Do

11:55

you guys feel that... No, I've

11:58

been thinking a lot about life and death. Obviously

12:02

cause this and I do think about a lot

12:04

and have a seat gone on. Long planned union.

12:06

long time to think about it. And.

12:10

To feel like. Every.

12:12

Second of your life is pressure. I

12:15

just feel like that know where me to finish

12:17

the oil eg. See genuinely feel

12:20

like. This. says.

12:22

Set. The when you are all when you're a

12:24

new disease. Will you be like,

12:27

why would I do that? No, I didn't

12:29

mind. I'm not really my violently know

12:31

i'd like to control system point indeed

12:33

you can anybody often what know by

12:35

have consider this on desert do the

12:37

sort of on of is a problem

12:39

but this is saying if you space

12:41

debris days and when was you face.

12:44

Which is sort of like if if if

12:46

if the only mail you a to the

12:48

delicious banquet didn't the effect of eating a

12:50

delicious banquet is removed because it's all you

12:53

know is a sobering this as a side

12:55

effect. nothing illegal as a live like this

12:57

is like I'm David Brittany officer he says

12:59

if he quite slowly punches if you wanna.

13:02

Do. You want the rainbow? you go for

13:04

up the rain and this is the

13:06

right to know what his philosophy that.com.

13:10

And. People say suits, just a pair

13:12

of tits. Fussy. I was for a

13:14

son or got I'm I'm references that

13:16

an office was like try to recreate

13:18

it from. What's the other one? Guy.

13:21

Says yea I had you want to be

13:23

remembered? No. No it's a thing as the that

13:25

he puts up on his wall. Or the

13:27

price it's it is. Rather, I am

13:29

right now as a. Gorilla

13:32

of Hitler and the meantime Ten would you like

13:34

to say was you disagree why you don't think

13:36

this is a waste of time with it was

13:38

a pretty good anger that you're coming from the

13:40

north, coming from a slightly different angle or attack

13:42

and sounds ominous to prison which makes a nice.

13:46

To. Begin to the gang of my

13:48

normal pretty happy life. but was

13:50

I I think the know. look

13:52

back fondly. the enormous pressure on

13:54

Alex. Has

13:58

the season cost of is reading. Nine

14:00

and as mentioned that it is a

14:02

sign that the real thing and it's

14:04

a thing that it's gonna take a

14:07

lot of time and. Maybe

14:09

Hardwick the wrong word. Intimate

14:13

managed to me. To me it seems like some

14:15

know my to. I do agree with you guys,

14:17

I'm just thinking you know that many that with

14:19

all across your mind. Ah,

14:22

Ok, some point because boxes. For

14:25

me, it seems like because I would suffice

14:27

two hours every week. I'm. Doing.

14:29

We just get the and it's fucking around on the

14:32

internet right? Now. And

14:39

I'm looking into a lot of

14:41

and meditation techniques and mother. Listen

14:43

to St. Lois. Yeah, because

14:45

I'm I'm looking to start meditating

14:47

that feel, ah I feel terrible

14:49

the time. I

14:52

really think this is. Could pay.

14:55

Your. Way of me of meditation

14:57

every week. Look at us as it's the

14:59

same. Concepts. Like if you're

15:01

watching the same thing. but you're like. Getting.

15:04

Different meanings out of every time and

15:06

it's a very stable about that like

15:08

meditation me for like that said with

15:10

observe everything that comes and goes away

15:12

and how you doing is leading the.

15:15

Movie was shows the years. And

15:17

years experience body as did I do too.

15:19

I usually look for the ability to that

15:22

argument. Yeah, because we're we're having the same.

15:24

You know? it's like a it's like a

15:26

concept and war on stay Plaistow and sort

15:28

of. It's one thing which is always there

15:31

week after witnessing. Se that referencing the

15:33

other week just doesn't have you guys

15:35

actually and as it's funny because. Any

15:37

year you I. Have

15:40

made a living now says I

15:42

think. We're living

15:44

cells that the and are a bit. Costly changing and

15:46

your ah, this is the only contact changing

15:48

will time But you have one thing that

15:50

is. The. Only stable

15:53

things. You know, Alive.

15:55

As that. And things are

15:57

confident. And you realize that this year.

16:00

This is the one thing. I see that in

16:02

Tim as well. It will be

16:04

interesting to listen back and hear about where we

16:06

were respectively in our lives. And

16:08

I remember really early in the podcast,

16:10

Tim, I posited that

16:12

this was all a ploy to

16:15

strengthen our friendship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would

16:18

you not say that that's probably what's

16:20

happened? Do you know something, man? So

16:24

we've had a little bit of action

16:26

the last week in terms of people

16:28

getting interested. A student from the Auckland

16:30

University of Technology wanted to interview me

16:32

for a unit about

16:34

the podcast. And she said,

16:36

what has the effect of the podcast been? And I

16:38

listed our friendship as being

16:40

a kind of a thing of it.

16:42

So that was just one day ago that I

16:45

was having that discussion. Oh,

16:47

that's funny. And

16:50

we got this write-up from some guy. Yeah, we've got

16:52

it in front of me now. Yeah,

16:54

do you want to, can you sort of venture into

16:56

that? Because it's really weird when people find

16:58

things that we're doing which we don't know

17:00

we're doing. Yeah. Well, what the guy did

17:02

is he referenced this thing called Super Play,

17:04

which apparently is a phenomenon in video games,

17:06

particularly really old and basic ones like Mario

17:08

and Sonic and stuff. Should we give him

17:10

a name as well so that we can

17:12

credit him for our shirt? Yeah,

17:14

definitely shirt. It's quite an interesting

17:16

name. Trying to figure out the stairs very quick. The

17:19

blog is in Media Glutton. Gertrude

17:21

Perkins, maybe? Yeah, Gertrude. That's

17:23

the one. So

17:26

he's describing this Super Play phenomenon where you play

17:28

the game so much that you kind

17:30

of get into every single facet of it. You do

17:32

a speed run where you try and complete the game

17:34

as fast as possible and you play it so many

17:36

different times. You basically discover everything that is to discover

17:38

about the game. And this

17:40

guy's suggesting that we are applying

17:43

that philosophy to this film.

17:45

And I'll just read a little piece which is near the end of the

17:47

blog. Tim and Guy

17:50

are experiencing grown-ups too in a way that

17:52

nobody involved in its production could have anticipated

17:54

or likely wanted. The project is so unreasonable,

17:56

so intense, that every aspect of the film

17:58

has to be screwed. From

18:00

the casting to the financing to even the

18:03

following. In their own way

18:05

they have demonstrated unparalleled mastery of grown-ups

18:07

too. And from the sound of

18:09

it, with every week bringing a new stage

18:12

of despair, elation or exhaustion, this mastery

18:14

is a hard one. I

18:17

thought he sort of hits

18:19

a lot of the nail on the head there. Yeah,

18:21

I think particularly by bringing up the point that no one

18:23

involved in the main... Hey,

18:28

I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint

18:30

Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies

18:32

are allowed to raise prices due to

18:34

inflation. They said yes. And then when

18:36

I asked if raising prices technically violates

18:38

those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what

18:41

the f*** are you talking about, you

18:43

insane Hollywood a*****e? So to recap, we're

18:45

cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to

18:47

just $15 a month. Give

18:50

it a try at mintmobile.com/switch. $45

18:53

up front for three months plus taxes and fees. Promote for new

18:55

customers for limited time. Unlimited more than 40 gigabytes per month. Mint

18:57

Unlimited slows. As a person with a very

18:59

deep voice, I'm hired all the time

19:01

for advertising campaigns. But a deep voice

19:03

doesn't sell B2B, and advertising on the

19:05

wrong platform doesn't sell B2B either. That's

19:08

why if you're a B2B marketer,

19:10

you should use LinkedIn ads. LinkedIn

19:13

has the targeting capabilities to help

19:15

you reach the world's largest professional

19:17

audience. That's right, over 70 million

19:19

decision makers all in one place.

19:21

All the bigwigs, then mediumwigs. Also

19:23

smallwigs who are on the path

19:25

to becoming bigwigs. Okay, that's

19:27

enough about wigs. LinkedIn ads allows you to

19:30

focus on getting your B2B message to

19:32

the right people. So, does that mean you

19:34

should use ads on LinkedIn instead of hiring

19:37

me, the man with the deepest voice in

19:39

the world? Yes, yes it does.

19:41

Get started today and see why LinkedIn

19:43

is the place to be, to be.

19:45

We'll even give you a $100 credit

21:01

I think it's great. Like, what if I really hurt someone? I

21:03

really hope the director finds out that

21:05

you've been doing this. Well that- We've

21:07

talked vaguely in passing about how great

21:09

it would be to get Adam Sandler

21:11

on the 52nd podcast, but I

21:13

just don't know if he'd be on board with the

21:15

whole project. We should start. We should do Twitter. I

21:17

don't think he does do Twitter.

21:20

You've got to be on Twitter, surely. Nah,

21:22

probably not. None of them are on Twitter.

21:24

Also something to discuss, where you

21:26

said you wanted to discuss Guy, which

21:29

was something I noticed in this viewing

21:31

of half of the movie. It's

21:33

that there is a shot. It's

21:36

where it's when they're all at

21:38

the party with all the college kids and whatever

21:40

on the cliffs and stuff. Kevin Jones has this

21:42

horrible towel over his neck. And it's massive.

21:46

And they're all just looking at this town a lot

21:49

and they're all like, whatever, and those guys and stuff. And

21:51

then you just kind of go, it's David Spade and it's

21:53

down at Chris Rock and a rose. Right?

21:56

And I love to say it in that life and I love to say

21:58

it in that life from the 90s. Where would

22:00

the heyday? the hit? I've the bad ones that if

22:02

you know Db day. Cigarette.

22:04

One that they were genuinely like

22:07

they were the Andy Samberg so

22:09

it's a cutting each. Yeah, I

22:11

do know that was. Yesterday.

22:13

Was up there no funny the times.as

22:15

but I would equivalent of you know

22:17

the people you love. onset like now

22:19

costs moving south and do. That

22:22

so was. Use. Solar.

22:24

All had a cold did look in your are

22:27

delicious! Food of recent. Work. It

22:29

is just might be so we are the

22:31

possible to have so far. The. Economy

22:33

did so it's like associated with when he

22:35

is the day the comedy died and away

22:37

yeah and he I was thinking about their

22:40

lot watching into labor is being here in

22:42

Edinburgh and is so much going on and

22:44

is so much creativity in fights on a

22:46

funny show the scene and last couple days

22:49

and my life of have watched and I'm

22:51

like this is what Chris Rock was is

22:53

what items that like these were guys who

22:55

on the household only to be understood how

22:57

funny they are. And in you

23:00

reach that level of success with your still

23:02

like. Public. Interest and your desire

23:04

to be critically acclaimed still sort of

23:06

a of it's is it. So was

23:08

it. Is. The equilibrium like it's

23:10

only makes personally cry and then have been.

23:12

she gets to point where you just go

23:15

fuck out of prove myself. Yeah.

23:17

We played as a to win

23:19

as they created like Through their

23:22

credit the Canadians let's create. Yeah.

23:24

Humor or woody that will. Hold on

23:27

lemme just sublinear little his his Hurricanes we're

23:29

the only something we have is that they

23:31

were. They were creatives, For yet so his

23:33

heart you they were thread. On

23:35

you tell us as. If we have as your

23:37

the A workplace I know I'm an I know

23:40

some other factors come into it like money and

23:42

all that that at what point. Do you hundred

23:44

point we you out the. Different stuff that

23:46

you're so successful that it makes you

23:48

stop wanting to crit like something with

23:50

of thing with a new that wants

23:52

to create and. Yeah yeah, create. New

23:54

things and be. Productive

23:57

as a creative human being and you

23:59

will feel. Take Your kids. Go. To

24:02

just disappear. It's just

24:04

it's it's it's it's it's of got a theme song.

24:06

Instead of instead of just you also

24:08

disappearing from the public high with that

24:10

you continue to have the same output

24:12

tongue and our investment in the product.

24:14

Absolutely. At. As it's it's it's I

24:17

guess it's not even like the loss of integrity. of

24:19

what your you off. His senate seat.

24:21

Complete loss of like the will

24:23

to. Do what you think

24:25

you're here on earth to death. For.

24:27

What are they do? And making money Sadistic.

24:29

Live in the A fucking. We I'm I'm an

24:31

actor path that it's like. Okay,

24:36

Phone lines to scroll yet. Guy

24:39

but. But. It's not like what are you

24:41

doing during the fucking awful. Movies such as finances

24:43

Myself that would live to Die and him

24:45

not to his hand. Only did he has

24:48

to do things that they're on. What I

24:50

do think: Good Decent. two thousand, one hundred.

24:53

And conversation. You think? if you liked

24:55

the window barbecue with those guys know

24:57

goofing off. No. Cameras didn't come

25:00

look can lead saying that. Remains

25:02

your I mean I can say mans your

25:04

life in a different life I reckon. See

25:06

if they used to. Live

25:08

to work and Added is working celeb.

25:10

Okay I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate. Them

25:13

are not really requests what you just

25:15

lays down on Gone. So with a

25:17

film like Grown Ups time. Is.

25:20

The with three rice's involved one of them

25:22

with Adam Sandler, Another, they would. Rise.

25:29

Or. Easy

25:33

to write between three paper about

25:35

in a number of a couple

25:37

of months. Three months I in

25:39

on a pretty relaxed schedule. Production

25:41

time to this minimal minimal. I.

25:49

Saw. It on a some sense a mess

25:51

of page I think and. On

25:58

a time he said. And maybe

26:01

we're unite painting all the

26:03

people involved a. Foul. Whereas

26:07

in. Our.

26:16

Lives were saying we don't that bright

26:18

and higgins. He had what

26:20

is it aligns logo stay

26:22

is ending. Roasted Do you

26:24

think. It does it. What? What

26:26

was the question? Would if I said well actually wonder

26:29

if we should It was X is a super.

26:31

Is yeah? never. Committed

26:38

to it. Is then sometimes

26:40

I find I think really funny how they

26:42

probably dealt with it. I feel like you

26:44

know you can elect a separate us to

26:46

be an actor and that's usually what makes

26:48

them for. Us to talk to like you

26:50

know, like roulette. Legit actors and shit. Lot

26:52

of good on sites. But. The

26:54

that that it's it's it's just some.

26:58

How how do you not see like they're

27:00

riding? It is not. Nobody says anything. As.

27:03

The must Be So either be killing

27:05

you inside or you must suck here.

27:08

To. Have to deliver such terrible I need

27:10

to do said it was just because it's

27:12

a job to see money They get night

27:14

lot Iraq who I think with the g

27:16

case of Britain higgins his he doesn't mean

27:18

he is he's on the hundred games and

27:21

stuff. When he's at a point in his

27:23

career we if someone goes June to be

27:25

in a multi tens of millions hundreds of

27:27

millions dollars to comedy picture was Adam Sandler

27:29

at the helm. Each each translate legacy and

27:32

now has Are you talking about You do

27:34

not know Honestly. I'm

27:36

no on saying that you don't on say. Doesn't.

27:38

Give a fuck about him. Cent of Legacy. Good.

27:40

So tarnished from the lots are many young

27:42

mrs of hot and buffets just like what

27:45

about the money? has a sister Jack and

27:47

Jill as bad debts my boy Actually a

27:49

funny movie. Was given a

27:51

chance sawed off just telling me to that it

27:53

it's terrible Found. Wow. Is

27:56

it of on the sounded? Yeah. Right

27:58

like as as. At least it's

28:01

not like grown ups too which treads this

28:04

weird line between things of kids

28:06

and grown ups. Like it's properly crap. Yeah, here's

28:08

another interesting point though. I was talking to her

28:10

about it at work. We're talking about the Naughty Professor

28:13

and Big Momma's house and stuff. Mm-hmm.

28:16

As always, there was a period of time where

28:18

everyone was just okay with those films. Everyone was

28:20

okay with body spot films. Everyone was okay with

28:22

that body transformation. Like people wearing a lot of

28:24

prosthetics, being a stat person, doing zap

28:26

jokes and stuff. Sure, freaking Friday. We were all okay

28:29

with it and we still looked up on it. Mate,

28:31

I love Big Momma's house. But if you watch

28:33

the trailer now, it's like, what the fuck is

28:36

this movie? But there

28:38

was a certain... I

28:40

really truly... Maybe it's because people have

28:43

outgrown the genre which usually doesn't

28:45

happen because genre is somewhat

28:48

timeless. Yeah, sure. But

28:51

maybe Adam Sandler and co operate in

28:54

a faction of comedy films that just

28:56

have truly no... Like,

28:59

there's no place for them anymore. Place anymore? No, but they

29:01

know what they're doing. Do they not? They're

29:04

creating a formula. Do you think Adam Sandler gives

29:06

a fuck that we're doing this conversation right now?

29:09

He's just sitting in a house with his wife and kids

29:12

watching. He's like, listen to this song. It's called,

29:14

about piece of shit car. I used to be

29:16

hilarious. And this kid's going, you are hilarious, dad.

29:19

What about... Yeah, it's kind of funny.

29:21

Like, to compare Adam Sandler to someone like Steve

29:23

Martin who is still a

29:26

person who does shit movies and stuff and, you know...

29:29

It has been working for everybody who was

29:31

young. But he still has a

29:33

need for creative output another way. He

29:35

didn't single-handedly helm a ceaseless torrent of

29:38

shit movies. That's true. They weren't from

29:40

his production house. He was sort of

29:42

gambling on certain projects and hoping someone

29:45

would get in somewhere. Although,

29:47

I reckon Cheaper by the Dozen's fucking dope.

29:50

I really dig that movie. I haven't seen it, but I love

29:52

Bonnie Hunt. It would come out

29:54

looking very good after this movie. But

29:56

yeah, this is a good point as well though. Have

29:58

you ever discussed the fact that this is a... the second

30:00

sequel as well. What do you mean by

30:02

that? And what regards? We've discussed a lot of things over the

30:04

last 24 episodes. To be

30:06

fair, when I first saw Grown Ups, the trailers

30:08

of Grown Ups, I was like, oh, I see that

30:11

kind of joke, go along to the cinema to watch that. And

30:15

so I really reckon once you finish this 52

30:17

weeks, you would watch Grown Ups

30:19

and you'd be like, holy shit, you know,

30:21

this is actually a terrible movie. But sequels

30:24

have an incredible way of being insanely bad.

30:28

And obviously it's

30:30

how, is it different people? Is Michael E really

30:43

just real briefly, just a quick side step. Um,

30:46

uh, speaking of Rob

30:48

Schneider, apparently Nick is

30:51

his, the character Nick in the film

30:53

is the brother of Rob Schneider's character.

30:55

And it is referenced precisely zero times

30:57

in the movie. And we found out

30:59

about that from the internet. There

31:02

was a post-production decision. They were like, well,

31:04

maybe if we make him his brother, it

31:06

will make more sense. We're gonna reference it.

31:08

We'll just know and say so in interviews.

31:11

And so, in reference to you talking about

31:13

the sequel Rose, that

31:16

was pretty much the reason we chose Grown Ups too,

31:18

was because what could possibly be worth some Grown Ups?

31:20

Yeah. Put a two on there. Yeah.

31:22

All right, Tim, we're running out of time. Your

31:25

shining light please. The Laminsoft's house is

31:28

at number 116, which

31:30

was a flat that I stayed in in

31:33

Newtown Wellington, 116 Daniel Street. And

31:36

I dug that flat. Noted

31:38

nostalgia, maybe you nostalgic. Yeah. That

31:40

was a terrible sentence. Mine was

31:43

when David Spade at the train stop

31:46

about to pick up his son, there

31:48

are these, there's a shot of him, like these shots

31:51

from both sides of him. There's one from the angle

31:53

that the train's coming in. There's this couple hanging out

31:55

behind him, who look like they're gonna get

31:57

on the train. Yeah. Sometimes

32:00

obviously the last carriage is going to land on them

32:02

and there's no door in. And they're

32:04

just standing there looking at this train without any way

32:06

of getting in and then the shot changes so you

32:08

can't see them again and it goes back and they've

32:10

just disappeared. It's like they just gave

32:12

up on getting on the train because there wasn't a

32:14

door immediately in front of them. That's so great. And

32:17

that was... That is a good thing. Yeah, this

32:19

is what we liked from the movie this week.

32:21

So, Rose... You want one? Rose, I'll just explain

32:23

what the shining light is. So, we got really

32:25

concerned that if we just continually episode after episode

32:27

for the entirety of the episode, talk about how

32:29

shit the movie is, we'd go insane prematurely. So,

32:32

we'd just like to pick one thing that we enjoyed

32:34

in the movie from our most recent watch. Right.

32:37

I think... Well, one of my

32:40

long-lasting favorites of the two times I've seen the first

32:42

half of this film is... What

32:45

I noticed is that when John Lovett comes

32:47

in to the class with his... Obviously, he's

32:49

a janitor and stuff, but I didn't see

32:51

in the first one that he fully brings

32:54

his mop and, you know, thinks halfway into

32:56

the room. Like, right next to

32:58

the girls. Oh, yeah. There's no way that they

33:00

couldn't have seen him. And also, the mirrors in front of

33:02

them. There's no way they couldn't have seen him come in

33:04

with that mop. And he

33:07

comes... Like, how fucking stupid might this be? Women

33:09

in the world of this movie are just weird

33:11

subspecies. I know. But, I

33:13

mean, to turn it into a shining light,

33:15

my favorite line, one of my favorite

33:17

lines is when he's exiting and sees

33:19

the gym instructor say it's true, even if it

33:21

isn't. I've talked about that line. It

33:24

is so good. It's a great line. Yeah.

33:26

It's a really good line. You've talked about ad nauseam.

33:28

Well, well, guys. No, you did. You picked the new

33:31

one. No, you picked the great one. And thank you

33:33

so much for joining us. Hey, thanks for having me.

33:35

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I talked about some deep shit.

33:37

I've been going through some... I liked it. I loved

33:39

it. Rose, can I just say quickly

33:41

before you go that it's been a fucking delight hearing

33:43

you and Monty wax lyrical about some of the stuff

33:46

and pick up the line she will attempt to not

33:48

wake up my flatmates. So

33:50

I think this one's a goodie. So thank you. We're doing

33:52

this in my room and I don't need my room. Yeah,

34:00

Rose has been eating kiskis the whole time. Anyway, I'm

34:03

like, Hey, it's his broken quote. Well,

34:07

that's, I've got about this starting. Yeah, we

34:09

can't talk about it now. We're running out

34:11

of time. What I will leave

34:13

you with is for some reason I've got

34:15

a small biography of Simon Barnett up on

34:17

my screen right now. You can go on

34:29

just leave with a quote from him, Apropos of nothing.
