The Worst Idea Of All Time

The forgotten history of Basketball, the satisfaction of self-directed tours and the true meaning of hosting. They say there are no enemies at the bottom of a bottle shared; even the greatest wrong, the vilest slight, the most vicious blow can be forgiven, if we open our hearts, to love. Guy and Carlo find that just a revenge is best served cold, friendship, is warm welcome.Support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/TWIOATCatch up on Hosting on its own stream here: (iTunes) (RSS) (Web Player) Hosted on Acast.

A trip to visit Lady Liberty herself. Carlo believes the New York City ports are an approximation of Sydney harbour because the boys took a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty. It is clearly not modelled on York - perhaps instead it should be called Harbour Town or New Harbour Town. Guy and Carlo discuss possible new names for New York and Carlo is blown away by the size of the Statue “Very tall”.Support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/TWIOATCatch up on Hosting on its own stream here: (iTunes) (RSS) (Web Player) Hosted on Acast.

How to eat a horse, the origins of Seinfeld and one heck of noise from a human being, they say there’s always magic in the air on Broadway. Guy and Carlo have stared deep into the pit of despair, the yawning maw of human suffering from which no light, nor joy escapes but the stars are always brightest from the bottom of the well. Sometimes, you have to walk through the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune to realise that fortune itself is a matter of perspective.Support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/TWIOATCatch up on Hosting on its own stream here: (iTunes) (RSS) (Web Player) Hosted on Acast.

The progress of a nation, the passengers of the RMS Titanic and a huge update on the fate of Guy and Carlo’s excellent prank, the city of New York certainly does not fail to deliver. Only through hosting do we understand the vulnerability of the guest. Only through being a guest do we understand the responsibility of the host. Only when we understand both halves of the equation can we truly learn the true meaning of hosting.Support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/TWIOATCatch up on Hosting on its own stream here: (iTunes) (RSS) (Web Player) Hosted on Acast.

The Empire State Building, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-style sleeping arrangements and a prank that might just endear Guy and Carlo to their American friends, only through a shared understanding, a shared goal can the ill fates of yesteryear be repaired. Only through community can the horrors of the past be forgotten. Guy and Carlo have seen and done some terrible things to each other but maybe, just maybe, they’re finally starting to see the world from the same side of the coin.Support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/TWIOATCatch up on Hosting on its own stream here: (iTunes) (RSS) (Web Player) Hosted on Acast.

The beauty of American-made sandwiches, the power of lists and a hilarious prank involving a very special ring, Guy and Carlo are reunited in the Auckland of the North, New York City. A new city, a new hemisphere, two antipodean friends on the wrong side of the globe. Might bygones stay bygones? Can the magic of hosting create a new, stronger bond of friendship? Can something beautiful be forged in the fires of the city that never sleeps?Support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/TWIOATCatch up on Hosting on its own stream here: (iTunes) (RSS) (Web Player) Hosted on Acast.

Hello Friend. This FZ has been video recorded for the Patreon Pals, who you can join.Guy and Tim are falling to bits, their bodies are failing them. But they encourage all men to get their prostates checked. The fellaz’ friends are checking in and reminding them they don’t have to keep punishing themselves (but they will). We have gusto! Sponsored by MeUndies. Well, not yet but maybe one day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The frosty fellaz got themselves a camera and are testing out a new way to bring you into the zone: Crispy video. (Video available to all Patreon supporters).Enjoy garage chat, damp banter, electric facts and sub-par Dr Phil impressions. We also hear from our beautiful friends - friends with Ph.Ds, friends who are doing better than they were, and friends with the middle name Jelf. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We end as we have begun. Just Tim and Guy. Minus about $400. As the boys round the end of this perilous journey (dressed in shabby rented cat costumes) they ponder the effect their daily watches have had on the box office success of CATS (2019). Some true upsets in the Jellicle stakes and Guy has damaged his eye. This was a regrettable endeavour. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Comedian Guy Williams aka G Dubs joins the fellas for their sixth (and his first) watch of CATS (2019). Musical fan Guy W finds himself in the incredible position of defending the movie as good and expounds on a self-defence against accusations of being a bad man with a long-winded and non-sensical hypothetical scene of Ronald McDonald taking a shower. The trio explore the racial dynamics of the film and celebrate James Cordon’s performance once again.Guy Williams’ Instagram / Twitter Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Comedian and self-confessed Cats fanatic Brynley Stent did NOT join the fellas but has seen CATS (2019) separately and she has some notes on the film! Bryn educates the boys on the wafer-thin plot of the original musical and why that’s a good thing. She also dreams of being the world’s first female Skimbleshanks. Meanwhile, Guy is entirely focused on a disappearing CGI tap shoe.Brynley Stent’s Instagram / Twitter Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Musical comedy superstars Two Hearts are Laura Daniel and Joseph Moore. Today they are also two-time CATS (2019) watching moviegoers. In a packed group session featuring Tim’s wife and Guy’s partner plus our musical comedy guests, Joe’s wondering if the rest of the audience also have podcasts requiring them to come to the film. The Rum Tug Tagger is in the crosshairs, Tim doesn’t know what a pound is and Laura can now understand the horrifying and disgusting decision to keep the human hands.Laura Daniel's Instagram / TwitterJoseph Moore's Twitter Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Filmmaker/journalist David Farrier (Dark Tourist, Tickled) joins the fellas to see CATS (2019) for a second time. His initial screening resulted in a drunken tweeted review that went viral, and landed Dave in trouble with the film’s NZ promoters. Dave is no friend of musicals generally; They creep him out. What’s up with the three names that cats need? We don’t know. What we do know; Taylor Swift’s dad had a BIG impact on this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tim and Guy are nestled in the roots of a large tree in the beautiful Auckland domain. This second watch has drawn the fellas into the world of CATS (2019) like a cinematic siren. Leaving the horrifying CGI and confusing storyline at the door, the fellas have been left to enjoy the spectacle of this star-studded $100... Spectacular? Guy canvases some fellow CATS (2019) watchers and Tim feels very bad for Dame Judi Dench. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is the first time your dear brave Jellicle fellas set out to watch CATS (2019) at the cinema and they’re just trying to figure out what the f*** is going on here. How big are these cats? Is this CGI technology just an Instagram filter? Tim makes a fast enemy of Rebel Wilson and begrudging fan of James Cordon. This promises to be one hell of a ride. Hosted on Acast.

This is My Week With Cats, a reunion of Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery on a cinematic journey that pits the pair against daily watchers of CATS (2019) – a film that cost $100m and is on track to be one of the critically and financially unsuccessful films of the decade. With a glint in their eye and open heart the Worst Idea fellas are ready to tango with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s strangest creation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode supported by PodFaves.com Here we are, hung over Timbo and a very friendly Guyguy. It's been a minute and we've got some beautiful letters to share. We've also got some devastating news about Monty's mate who was supposed to join a great American Roadtrip. Today we're hearing from an Ol Lang Syne celeb-adjacent listener, a big fan of our musical ideas, Squirrel supporters and much more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Emma brings us tidings of glad joy - Elizabeth McGuire, and then quickly descends into a full on existential artist break down. There’s a bear attack, a self-harming woman and of course, Rob Schneider. Guy is worked up over the lack of variety in production music and shot choices. Tim and Emma are not happy with the slowest pace in the history of TV for a dinner scene in this one. The sole saving grace for this one is everyone disrespecting grandma. Hosted on Acast.

Ray looks great but he can't understand why Rob's gearing a God damn suit all the time. Jamie gets a pass this epsiode, Rob gets belittled and smashes a guy's knees with a bowling ball. Ray can't believe a) This show is on Netflix, b) This is season two. We've got a delightful anecdote about comedy classes and bathrooms.Follow Ray on Twitter @RayBadran   Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Rob Schneider's comedy guesses featuring Ed Gamble. Non-Real Rob virgin Ed tries to figure out the production method for the show and wants to know if Rob really knows the name of the featured chef in this episode or if they're just calling him the name of a restaurant.

Cuckolding, vaccines, the beautiful art created by the child's mind of Rob Schneider and also, vitamins.

Our guest has a run at predicting what's happening next ep and Tim can't get over what Rob says to his wife in this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Who and what IS Rob Schneider? All of us, all the time. This according to comedian/writer/actor Nina Oyama. She's on board in a big way, 10/10. Nina wants someone to suck her ass. The trio on this ep all think kids should be kept off #SponCon and Tim reckons we should just kill kids early. Plot wise - something happens at some airport and Danny Trejo turns up. He looks like Bob Odenkirk went through the washing machine.Find Nina on Twitter @ninaoyama & Instagram @nina.oyama Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Child Schneider (Miranda) has her first day at school but who gives a shit. Carlo Ritchie joins Guy and Tim an episode with Tibetan furniture, rockin’ musicians who deny their kiwi heritage and a genuine laugh at a scene with a dolphin. The trio build a vision of what the Real Rob world would be like sans Rob and the titular lead meanwhile tries to sell another Deuce Bigalow movie using his platform of a Netflix serious.Follow Carlo on Instagram @carloritchie Hosted on Acast.

Jamie goes on a blind date after an encounter with a spider, something something Miranda is going to school? Who cares? We got Stu Daulman! A true sweetheart of the Australian comedy scene.

Rob's back. Guy's back. Tim's back. And he's angry. Writer/producer/director/star/auteur Schneider is up to his old tricks, driving around LA, laughing at someone who has bone cancer and personally overdubbing Asian characters HE CAST with HIS OWN voice. In their accent. I'm not kidding. It's hell to be back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tompkins joins the fellaz in front of a live Los Angeles audience to reaffirm his instruction that Guy and Tim never do any more of this project. The trio wax philosophical on the nature of suffering for art and enjoyment, in intimacy of men’s feet touching and of course, what it means to colour outside the lines. Who’s to say what’s next for the fellaz. One thing is for sure, it’s been a terrible, terrible ride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Timbo’s fresh off the plane to join Guyguy in New York City and he’s coming in pretty hot off the back of a run in with an 8 year old on the flight.
