They've eaten some Blaze Pizza and now it's time to tick some other bucket list items off the list; Namely, watching Grown Ups 2 in a Kmart.

Guy's approaching unattended kids, Tim's distracted by all the fantastic colours and products on offer. It's almost the end of the nightmare so get in while the getting's good. Hosted on Acast.

It's 2am. It's an emotional podcast this week, Montgomery is mainly waking up for most of it and what is exposed is a raw, unguarded side of a man who is so near the finishline he can almost taste it. Voices are croacky, spirits are mixed and Guy and Tim are just trying to live every moment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They're indoors, watching the movie again and BOY is Tim unhappy about it (again). One of the lowest ebbs in the project so far. Guy stages an intervention to deal with Tim's drinking (which he does to deal with the movie), a book club of sorts breaks out midway through and you'll be treated to two kiwi men struggling through the 44th watch of a movie while hung over.
