The Worst Idea Of All Time

Friendzone 144

Happy 8th birthday to The Worst Idea of All Time. Guy and Tim are talking favourite vegetables, the incredible ratio of listeners with PhDs (again) and whether New Zealanders are the capybaras of nationalities. The show has also doubled its libertarian listenership and the fellaz try to figure out what countries fall under the "Down Under" umbrella?

  • Cats 2: Unauthorized (fixed)

    55:50|
    UPDATE: The original audio for this episode was not good. Hopefully it now is good!It has been brought to Tim and Guy's attention that a group of Americans have taken it upon themselves to create a sequel to Cats, a spiritual succession (or at least response) to Tom Hooper's 2019 horror film. The movie is incredible - an artistic marathon that was birthed from the pandemic lockdowns and now exists in all its live-action, animated, puppeted, all-singing and all-dancing glory on YouTube dot com.See Cats 2 in all its wonder at cats2.art
