6:19Oti: We really have.

6:21KT: And we will definitely go into just the broad sort of stats. Thank you so much to everyone that has partaken in the For Your Reference household, whether it's one episode, whether it's all episodes, whether it's our YouTube, whether it's our Patreon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. We really, really appreciate it. Before we get to the stats, we are super learned so let's pull all of our glasses up. Mhmm. Let's give all of our chef

6:52KT: kisses because we actually have a red carpet and we also have a VIP section of our red carpet Oti. Oh. Yeah. And Oti hasn't heard a lot of these messages or any of the interviews from the red carpet, and it's going to be a very exciting time. I want it to be the first time just like you, listeners. Like a virgin.

7:14Oti: Touched by the very

7:17KT: Oh, you've been touched many times. That is very clair. So hot off the press, on our red carpet, we have our VIPs who are our patrons because we fucking love you guys. Hell yeah. However many holes we can get into. We also wanna give an honorary shout out to Lucas from Wonder Soul. Thank you so much for supporting everything we do in every possible capacity. Thank you so much. So we have some lovely messages. Unfortunately, Nick and Kyle have been unwell, but it's just normal sickness, not the virus that's going around near Australia.

7:56KT: I can bet that. And they are dinosaurs, so we don't even know if they exist either. But they do send their thanks and well wishes, and we appreciate, and we fucking love you guys. We do. True Blue, Lou Carpenter to use. We fucking love you. We do have some messages from our other VIP guests. Mhmm. So let's start off with our Firm Foundation.

8:20Oti: We have Kolby from the Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo.

8:24KT: Yo. Yo. Yo. And he left a very lovely message on the red carpet. I know this music.

8:34Guests: Yo. Yo. Yo. What up, friends and lovers? It's your boy, Kolby Mac, and I'm back on with For Your Reference. And can you believe it? It's been a year, y'all. Happy birthday to the pod and to the homies KT and Oti and hashtag fake Oti and hashtag the innuendo queen and all that stuff and happy first annual Splooshies. Did you hear that? Splooshies. Who'd have thunk? I'd be on the red carpet looking fly. I'da thunk. I'm at the hottest Aussie podcast award show around. I'm rubbing shoulders with

9:12Guests: whoever else is invited. I'm yucking it up with a who's who of covered references and sexual innuendos that are all in attendance. Yo. Is that Archer I see across the carpet? What up, Sterling? Oh, shit. Is that Ian McShane? How are you, my man? I see you grew the mustache back. Daddywood indeed. Uh-oh. It's you, Tasha. I see you brought your dead friend, Takisha. You ain't see the sign, girls? No zombies allowed at this award show. And where's your punk ass son, Tariq?

9:52Guests: Little jerk. Okay. I see you in the I said I see you on the inside. Ugh. Jeez. You know, I thought we were done with the Power talk since we did our pod together, which was pretty dope, by the way. Should give it a listen. But those last six episodes, it just kinda brought back a whole bunch of trauma before spin offs my ass. Yo, listen. I see on the inside. Once again, happy birthday. Happy first annual podcast award show for the Splooshies. You know what? I hope I win one. Best guest podcaster,

10:24Guests: Kolby Mac. I can see it now. Yo. When they ask you where you heard it from, you tell them Kolby told me. Peace.

10:34Oti: Kolby. What? What? There was an Archer reference and everything. Yeah. That was hilarious, especially when who invited Tasha? You know, that's where my qualm is.

10:46KT: We are not. How dare you? We are not. It's good it's good to know that people turned out to our award show to the Splooshies. Yeah. Yeah. Had to be that basic for Tasha to come. Feel like Kolby's giving us a run for our money, so we better watch out, Oti.

11:03Oti: For sure.

11:06KT: The next guest that we have on the red carpet are from the Pardon the Pun tier, and we have Julio from the Contrarians podcast.

11:06Guests: Hello, friends and lovers. Sorry for running late. I was aiming for fashionable, and then the Uber driver got lost.

11:21Guests: Anyway, this is Julio from the Contrarians as you can probably tell, and I am super excited to see your show get a little older. Can't wait to hear what you have planned for the celebration. Now I'm skipping the red carpet and going through the side door because I'm not allowed to be photographed until I get a haircut, so I'll catch you after the show.

11:39KT: Does that mean Julio doesn't exist either? Oh, he does not exist. Like, is it kind of like Avengers Endgame and the more you support For Your Reference, the less you exist? Is there like a glitch in the For Your Reference Matrix? Well, we love you, Julio. Haircut or not.

12:00Oti: Existence or not. Time is just nonlinear. You should have learned that by now. Time is nonlinear

12:07KT: indeed. Let's round out our most beloved, most cherished patrons with Ben from Filmbusters.

12:14Guests: Oh, guys. I you've caught me at a really bad moment. I'm just about to go into the screen and you what is it? You want me to talk about, what what it was like featuring on the For Your Reference podcast? Oh my god. It's one of the highlights. It's what literally one of the highlights of everyone's career, isn't it? To be featured on a podcast with KT and Oti, the nastiest podcasters in the business. I mean, seriously, it was a pleasure. It was an absolute pleasure. Working with those guys was just, like, incredible.

12:46Guests: They have a full appreciation for film, real analytical mind, and they have so much fun with it. There's no snobbery. There's nothing but intellect and good times. And I'll tell you this much. When I went onto that podcast, they made me feel so comfortable, so at home before I began. It was like it was my own podcast. It was like I was just chilling with the guys and talking, shooting the shit as we do, you know, over at Filmbusters.

13:10Guests: And, you know, it then just made sense. It made sense from there that I would have to become a patron. And, I'm now hearing this very exclusive VIP section, on on the red carpet. You know, you can't go wrong with that. The VIP section is essentially like the bonus KT and the bonus Oti. You get to hear Oti's laugh constantly. You get to hear KT say, how dare to almost everything.

13:37Guests: They even let cats up in this place. So you gotta sign up for it. You have to sign up to become a patron for all the additional content. How can you ever get enough of these guys? Seriously, I love them. I love them. I love them. They are inspirational. They are joyous. They are beautiful,

13:52Guests: and they love film and TV if that's your thing too. Anyway, listen. I've gotta go into this screening now. I I actually think KT and Oti are already in there. So so thanks. Thanks for grabbing me. And, yeah, you know what to do.

14:05Oti: Wow. Ben. Yeah.

14:10KT: I didn't realize that, you know, getting these sort of red carpet interviews also meant that people

14:17KT: would say nice stuff about us.

14:17Oti: Yeah. For sure. And and I'm just

14:17KT: How dare you?

14:17Oti: I'm just glad he has us pegged as as as me, the intellect, and also bringing the good times while you're just bringing all the nasty.

14:17KT: I'm I'm sorry. What were you listening to?

14:32KT: What have you got in your earphones? Because that's not what I heard. But it is most welcome. Thank you so fucking much. We love all of our patrons and we love, you know, all of the support. You know, you don't have to and a lot of you guys are very learned. You know, Julio has been around for five years. Kolby goes to the cinema five five times a week and he's writing reviews. Dem Fancy Dinosaurs are in the convention sort of spaces and Ben recently has one of his pieces being

15:09KT: premiered at a film festival.

15:09Oti: Yeah. Amazing. Amazing work these guys do. And I I rarely dabble in the podcast world, but just listening to these guys is really amazing.

15:23KT: So I filter the shit for Oti. Essentially, I am the gatekeeper for The Middle Kingdom. But again, for you guys to be thriving and want to support us, we fucking love you guys so so much. Especially if you're on the Pardon the Pun tier, you can also see the video version of this because I am sweating to winter hell right now. Yeah. True. And saying middle of art would have been a better reference. Well, Splooshies

15:54KT: denotes to fluids. We didn't necessarily said it was sexual, so you're just getting my sweat at the moment. At least in the first act of this unfortunate Shakespearean. Listen to a la la la long today. So We did, and you made me sweat and cry, but it was a very pleasurable cry. I couldn't even say it because I didn't believe it. Let's get into the stats. It's been a whole year, Oti.

16:20Oti: It really has.

16:21KT: Well, yeah, it's factual. It really has been a whole year.

16:25Oti: I don't understand

16:27KT: what else what sort of interpretive meaning you would have. But, again, thank you for everyone that has tuned in to our podcast and, you know, supported us in whatever way you can. It is quite a milestone that we've hit. It really was, you know, me at 02:00 in the morning sending an email to Oti, frazzled, saying we should start a podcast. And Oti just really, you know, finding a way to get the equipment, figure it out. Eventually, he got us a soundboard and he won't tell me how much it costs.

17:01KT: But it's great. You know? It's really great. And I fucking love this year has been amazing. Yeah. Mhmm. Mhmm. Agreed. Everything else fell apart in our lives, but this podcast, has

17:14Oti: a strong foundation.

17:16KT: It has a firm. Yes. Very palatable foundation. So let's get into the stats of For Your Reference. A meta reference special, if you're welcome. Mhmm. In the year we actually launched in the on the February 19. Mhmm. It was a week before the Oscars, and it was a very tantalizing time. Our first episode was

17:41Oti: Black Panther.

17:43KT: Oh, you almost failed that quiz. No. No. No. No. No.

17:47Oti: No.

18:00KT: Whole year and we are rounding it out with this Splooshie Awards, and everyone is most welcome. 55 episodes, Oti.

18:10Oti: That

18:12KT: is a lot of episodes. There are only fifty two weeks in a year. Mhmm. And we managed to do 55 episodes. Thank you everyone that has enjoyed our podcast. That also includes five bonus episodes. Mhmm. Whether it was with guests or whether it was an extension of something we've already covered, and it also includes specials including this award show. Yeah. And also our Christmas episode, which also has a video companion if you're nasty. Mhmm. So if we take it from the point of view of doing full reviews,

18:48KT: we have covered 50 TV shows and movies, Oti. And it also doesn't count the fact that in John Wick, there was three. And in Bad Boys, unfortunately, there were three as well. Come and fight me, Martin sodium lovers.

19:11Oti: You're only saying that because you know Martin won't be able to fight you.

19:14KT: Yeah. He's done. He's retired. His face has made that very clear. In that 50 full review episodes, 29 of them was movies.

19:29Oti: 29?

19:30KT: Which was very interesting because when we first started off, we did a lot of TV shows.

19:34Oti: Yeah. We do a we watch a lot of TV shows. We watch a lot of TV shows. Which is surprising that we've done we've covered more movies than TV shows.

19:34KT: I think it's also because Reference Degustation,

19:46KT: which is what we will come to. So 29 movies, which if you are good and you have your abacus with you, that means we've done 21 TV shows. Mhmm. Yeah. That was really interesting to see that we've done more movies. In regards to language, 41 of our 50 episodes were English TV shows and movies. We did six Japanese.

20:15Oti: Oh,

20:16KT: at us. So you got the five Miyazaki and you've got Naruto, Naruto Shippuden. Mhmm. So we've got six Japanese. We did two Spanish, but it was let let's be fair. We did La Casa de Papel twice. Still counts. It counts, mate. Still counts. And we did one Korean movie which was Burning. So we you know, I think we're we're teetering on a nice sort of range, especially don't come and fight me. But in regards to, like, TV shows and movies, I think we're more more international than others.

20:56KT: Come and fight me, bitches. I've got my chainsaw. I'll meet you in the car park. And we've barely scratched the surface of what kind of stuff we've watched and what we are planning for the next year. And it was a delicate balance. Right? I think it was especially because a lot of you guys are podcasters as well. It was trying to balance what we like to watch and what's international and also allowing people the chance to get in and enjoy the episodes,

21:22KT: which are more commonly watched as well. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So keep up, motherfuckers, and we can cover more international shit. Read a fucking subtitle. You know, if if you're into being shouted at, then the pleasure is free gratis, friends and lovers. Yeah,

21:39Oti: mister McShane.

21:40KT: I also did a little bit of a breakdown in regards to decades Oti. So out of the 54 review episodes that we've done, 29 of them were in the 2010s. Okay. That makes sense. I think it's not bad. I don't know if we need to change that. Like, I think it's okay that we are staying essentially sort of current. Do you have any thoughts on that? No. Are you okay? It makes sense. It's just a fun little stat. Gonna be weird if

22:13KT: most of our stuff wasn't current. I'm just saying. Yeah. And it's it's not gonna hurt you. It's nice. It's tasty. You know? Let it let it flow in you. In the 2000s, we covered 13 TV shows and movies. Mhmm. 1990s, we covered six. Mhmm. That was a surprise, actually. Yeah. We covered one from the 1980s. Woah. Right? Eighties. Well, keep your woah because we covered one from the 1940s, and I think you know which one that was.

22:46KT: Which one is that, Oti?

22:46Oti: A Time Before Christmas?

22:46KT: This is your favorite fucking Christmas movie, and you don't even know what it's called? What the bloody hell is it called?

22:46Oti: It's a Wonderful Life. Sorry. It's a Wonderful Life.

22:59KT: Apparently, it is. Yeah. But that was interesting because, you know, listen to the episode and also our Christmas special. I never came across that film. And, apparently, it was your most favorite film. Yeah. I watched it, like, 60 times. And it's one of our most listened to episodes. So I think I think Oti is our demographic, apparently.

23:21Oti: Oh, for sure. Like, if he didn't grow up watching It's a Wonderful Life, he just had a sad childhood on Christmas day.

23:21KT: Are you done, sir?

23:21Oti: I am done.

23:33KT: But what a year it has been. Thank you guys, however long you've been following us along the journey. Most recently, we did our Reference Degustation. We might not be able to afford a holiday, every year, but we will have a special month where we have a theme and we cover it. And this year, we did Miyazaki masterpieces. And

23:59Oti: what a beautiful time it was. That was really wonderful. I think I enjoyed rewatching a lot of the stuff. Some of his works were quite fast time for me to watch. Yeah. But it was an it was an amazing journey that I would not, like, I would not look down on, and I would rewatch most of these things again over and over.

24:21KT: We afforded a nice little box office for Oti and I so we can actually watch people coming in on the red carpet. Again, we had some really great guests in this past year. Oh, we really did. Woo hoo hoo. Some of the guests have managed to slip their way into the gift bag section. So we we didn't really get to get much interviews, but I think I see Anime Nerd over Anime

24:48Oti: Nerd.

24:49KT: Anime Nerd. Konnichiwa.

24:51Guests: Hey, congratulations For Your Reference podcast for making it on one year on doing podcasts. Look, it's not every day that people like you guys truly, truly, truly come out and just go ahead and blow it out the water. You guys are doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work. Your content is great. Your personality, amazing. As a guest, as esteemed guest on your podcast. It was really fun. I really felt like we were friends for like three, four years. Granted, we just met like maybe like,

25:29Guests: I would say four or five months ago, but it just show and then show the true testament on how well you guys are. You guys are doing an amazing job. I really love your content. I really love being a part of your podcast. And from my podcast to yours, I wish you guys many more and I pray and I pray and I pray. That sounds almost religious. But anyway, just hope we do

26:00Guests: many more collabs because with you guys, it truly is nothing but fun and everything like that. And for you guys who are just tuning in and listening to their podcast, definitely go ahead and check it out. You I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

26:15Oti: I love that. Oh. I love Anime Nerd.

26:19KT: How do you? So many feelings. So many feelings.

26:23Oti: Like, there's so few podcasts that really discuss animes as well as he does. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's just one of those things that I gravitate towards to when on my fucking long train ride to work,

26:37Oti: he makes it a bit easier. And it's it's bloody brilliant.

26:37KT: But being introduced to Anime Nerd and also Savage Otaku became a problem because you kind of wanted to become an anime podcast.

26:47Oti: Yes. Which is fine, but we don't just watch anime. We watch everything. We watch a lot of things, but anime has been such a big part of our life Mhmm. You know, since we met. And just finding people who are who are more passionate towards anime than we are is just quite strange. And how we just gel together and how we talked about what we loved, and it's just something that I would never forget. It was one of the best experiences I've had over the past year and just bloody brilliant.

27:21KT: It is. And it was very lovely. Thank you so much for taking the interview and also taking your time to attend our quaint little award show. I think I also spot someone else Oti on the red carpet. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Who there? What's a nice way of saying my arch nemesis?

27:41Oti: I guess I can only be one person.

27:45KT: Right? And the it's Tom. Okay? Mhmm. It's Tom from History of Aotearoa. Just just, I guess,

27:57KT: let him, but I I have security close on hand.

27:57Guests: While I spent a few months pestering them to let me come on and chat about a movie, I'm actually surprised that they let me on at all. Honestly, the amount of times me and KT fight on Twitter, you'd think we hate each other. But you know what? They're Aussies. And in times of strife, we need to stick together, us to brave the world and fight the good fight. To let everyone know that no,

28:22Guests: Vikings isn't a good show due to its historical inaccuracy and that there are much better shows set in that time period. Sorry. Got a bit distracted. What was the question again? How was it? Oh, yeah. It was alright.

28:35KT: Why? Do we let these cretins onto our beloved podcast? Gotta love Tom. Gotta do nothing. That's what I gotta do. Let's go to somewhere in pastures anew. Oh, I see Sunni and Brandi from the Book of Lies podcast.

28:55Guests: So I'm Sunni Hepburn. Brandi Fleeks. And we're from Book Okay, of Lies so we happen to be podcast twinsies with For Your Reference. We both started around the same time, it seems like. We did a collaboration episode with For Your Reference and they called it The Sell it All Rickerty Split. Rickerty Split. Sell it all Rickerty Split. So The Big Short: Sell it All Rickerty Split. So Brandi, what do you think of For Your Reference podcast? Host, KT

29:40Guests: and Oti. What do they think of the hosts or what do they think of the podcast? I think that's a let's figure that out. Is it one and the same? It's one and the same. I believe that I think that the hosts of For Your Reference podcasts are super awesome. I always crack up what I listen to there. It's very enjoyable, especially Oti and his opinions. Oti's opinions. Oti and his opinions and KT and her challenging of Oti's opinions. They're

30:14Guests: hilarious. What do you think of the hosts of KT and Oti of For Your Reference Podcast? They're my sister and mister from another mother. Love them. It was funny, came across each other around April, like around We both released a Game of Thrones episode. Oh, at the same time? Everybody did that. Everybody did that. Yeah. And I listened to their episode and they listened to ours and I was like, These guys are interesting. I was like, What accent is going on here? What's this accent? And then, know, coming to find out they're in Australia,

30:55Guests: KT is Tongan from Australia and Oti is Kenyan living in Australia. I just love their everything. I just love mate. I love it. It's just like, No mate! Come on mate! They just love KT's humor and I think that we have the same humor for some reason, just dirty humor and it's just okay. It's okay. I've had to get accustomed to the word flicking your bean, the statement. Oh, okay. KT loves to say that. You've never heard it before? Yeah, I have, but not as much as listening to this podcast. You haven't become as

31:41Guests: numb to it or whatever. I just like it, love them, they're fun. So like I mentioned, we did have a collaboration with them with, The Big Short. What did you think of the collaboration episode? I remember like they were bringing up points that I was like, you know what? I forgot about that. It's like listening,

32:03Guests: you know, like when you're talking about it and then like, when you actually have to like go back and think about, Oh yeah, that's right. That did happen. That did happen. Like what? Oh yeah, that person did say that. Or this person wasn't. And I was like, Oh yeah! Yeah, okay. A lot of and oh yeah moments. I was like, Oh yeah. And then you have to pretend you remember. Okay, all right, cool. So, would you say that was a good experience? Was that our first collaboration?

32:34Guests: I don't remember if it was or not, to be honest. I think that was our second podcast collaboration because we, did a thing. Was the first time that we had to share a headset and a mic in a collaboration. We had to do some fancy footwork to make that collab work. But it was a lot of fun and it was quite the laugh. I listened to their Christmas episode, I believe, when they talked about all their collaborations and Oti was just so flummoxed that we gave,

33:06Guests: Nine. Yeah. He was like, Woah, Brandi Sunni, woah, settle down. But this, yeah, because I was like, think again, I was like, our rating systems are completely different. Yeah. We definitely need to like put it on paper. I feel like a nine is good for something that you're reviewing and you actually find it interesting and you learn something from it. And it's true! It happened. You know, I know he hates Pennywise.

33:42Guests: Oti hates Pennywise guys. Oti don't be afraid of Pennywise. He's more afraid of Chucky than Pennywise. Which I cried when I heard that. I was dying laughing. I was like, Are you fucking kidding me? Are you joking? Okay, because you can kick the doll but Pennywise is coming. I can punt that doll You'll buried in the never find it. So yeah, I was like, okay. But I think Oti is a tough crowd. He's a tough critic. No, he's a tough crowd. Okay. Yeah, and critic. Like that KT

34:18Guests: thinks differently. She sees things that I would not have seen or that would have been apparent to me. She makes me think differently and I really respect that about her and I'm like, I've never thought about that perspective or that opinion or that angle and she makes me think about that. Right. Totally dig it. All right, cool. So it's been a year for them. It's been a year for us also. We love being podcast BFFs. Do you have any words of wisdom for them?

34:53Guests: Just keep doing what you're doing because every time you do it you get a little bit better. So unless you're like us and then like shit just starts going down the fucking tubes. But otherwise! But no, I mean, you know, the more you do it, the better you get at it. So just keep doing what you're doing. Still listening. Yeah, keep doing what you guys are doing. You guys are doing I'm not all turned off. Exactly. So, we wish you guys a happy birthday.

35:27Guests: Happy podcast birthday. Happy podcast birthday and we love you guys and we hope that we can meet IRL. Yeah, maybe we'll meet in the middle. What's the middle? Tell us what the middle is. Japan? I was going say Japanese? Hawaii is the middle. Is Hawaii the middle? I think so because it's like a really Maybe we can meet in Tonga. Yes. That'd be fun. Yeah, it looks like they got a lot of good food over there. So we love you guys and holler at a player. Holler at a player. Holler at a player.

36:03KT: Aww. Wow.

36:05Oti: Right. I think the time we recorded that collab with them Yeah. It was Brandi's birthday or it was Sunni. Sunni's birthday. Yeah. Brilliant. Like, we love we love Book of Lies. I love Book of Lies busting. Because you're full of Book of Lies. That's right.

36:24KT: Fucking dickhead.

36:26Oti: They're really great. That podcast is amazing.

36:29KT: Yeah. And just to make it clear, the ratings that we gave at Christmas wasn't ratings on the guests. They were ratings on the movie because 10 out of 10 to Book of Lies and all of the guests except for more than 10, mate. It's a scale out of 10. Live in the world. Chance, mate. Well, you're in the charts.

36:49Oti: Not me. We're better than that. You sit in that.

36:53KT: You sit in that. I don't know about you guys, cohost, but he is a fucking hard one to manage. Also, I think this is a misconception

37:02Oti: because they said they're more scared of Pennywise than they are of Chucky. You won't see fucking Chucky coming because he's nonthreatening. That's the whole point.

37:12KT: This is the fucking Splooshie Awards. I will not be listen to our It episode and also Freddy vs. Jason because we talk about Pennywise and Chucky in there. Alright. Alright. You've got some childhood shit you need to resolve, my love. Just like I have some Daddywood shit that I need to resolve, but it all comes together in a sensual experience. So maybe we won't figure it out. Mhmm. Maybe we'll just keep going and, you know, crash together.

37:43Oti: Oh, yeah.

37:45KT: Oti, I think we see one of our other beloved guests, Amy D and Chuck from the Why I'm Single podcast. Woo hoo.

38:00Guests: Hi. Yeah. Hey. I'm Amy with Why I'm Single podcast. We're just so excited to be here. It's been a great year with For Your Reference. So many great episodes. Oh my god. They did it. They did 30 Rock, The Office, Joker. Oh gosh. One of my favorites was the the episode with The Big Lebowski. They even did Power

38:24Guests: with Kolby Mac. Yep. Yep. Yo. Yo. Yo, Amy. I'm I'm really happy. Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy for you and how much you like Power. I'm a let you finish. Oh. But The Wire was one of the best shows of all time. One

38:37Guests: of the best shows of all time. I okay, Chuck. I agree. Yeah. The Wire. No Known A-Bodie. It was a great pun. We really loved it. It was, you know, The Wire, our hometown love. We got nothing but love for The Wire. You know? Ain't nothing higher than our love except maybe the Baltimore's murder rate.

39:00KT: What an exceptional hair. Yeah. Well, fuck me in the ass twice come weekly. Yeah. They're amazing. Pops showed up only when they were walking the red carpet. No. I think we just couldn't afford enough paparazzi for the red carpet. I definitely I definitely told them not to focus on Tom, but I guess we couldn't afford paparazzi for the rest. But wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. If you've listened, we actually covered The Wire twice. We had our own episode

39:35KT: where we focused kind of more on the TV show, and we also had Amy D and Chuck feature

39:43KT: on A Love Letter to Baltimore, and that motherfucker was two and a half hours long.

39:43Oti: We own the podcast, and I really enjoyed it. I really did. And then Yeah. While editing the episode, you know, you get to learn so many things, and you get to appreciate The Wire on a fundamentally

40:00Oti: different level, and I think it's an essential watch for anyone that loves The Wire. It's it's it's all about the intricacies and the nuances that come with it, and it's bloody brilliant. And I loved it, and I think rewatching The Wire will be a completely different experience now because you understand so much of the nuances better. But, man, Amy and Chuck,

40:23Oti: far out.

40:23KT: We are rolling into our wardrobe team. And now this is the moment that you've all been waiting for. We have a few other guests that we guested on during the year, but not on the For Your Reference podcast that are streaming into the award show. So we'll get to them perhaps after we get through some of the awards, but this is the motherfucking event. Mhmm. Have you got your fingers ready to flick your bean? They're always ready. Where's your bean? Maybe

40:57Oti: just rubbing the mushroom, mate. Okay, Cartman.

41:04KT: And again, we do have one Spanish listener that listens every week. A very dedicated Spanish listener. And I think we won him over with our Money Heist episode. I love how he's calling a him. We're assuming you're a him and you're one of our lovers. Yeah. That visits us and pleasures us when we're not awake. That's there there's nothing else that makes sense, friends and lovers. But thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Before we get to the actual awards, we just wanted to give some shout outs for the year that we've had.

41:40KT: And these are just little mini what what? They're not necessarily awards, Oti. Mhmm. So let's just quickly rattle it off. You can guess.

41:49Oti: Oh. You can guess. I love a good guessing game.

41:52KT: Considering we did the nominations the other night and you forgot half of the episodes we did, I don't really know how we're going to go with this. Maybe in the future, we should have like a Patreon exclusive of when we go through the nominations, by the way. So in these categories, we have most reference. So hey, hey girl, hey, if this is the first time that you've listened to For Your Reference, perhaps you don't know. But at the end of our full review episodes,

42:22KT: we actually reference TV shows or movies that you might be interested in. Mhmm. Do you know what the most referenced TV show or movie was, Oti? Most reference? Yeah.

42:35Oti: I'd say Archer because we talk a lot of Archer in this show.

42:35KT: We do, but that's incorrect.

42:35Oti: Oh, wow. Really?

42:35KT: It's actually

42:45KT: Spartacus.

42:46Oti: I am not so Definitely. Bad at

42:50KT: Rest in love, Andy Whitfield. One of my tweets went viral. I just wanna quickly mention there was some viral trends about a young Patrick Stewart,

43:02KT: and it was a picture of Andy

43:02Oti: Patrick Stewart. Anyone who could accuse us to are just blind.

43:07KT: He looked fine. Like, Patrick Stewart looked fine when he was young, but he still looked like Patrick Stewart. Very receding hairline was there in his twenties. You can't you can't discombobulate the face to turn into Andy Whitfield.

43:22Oti: It just doesn't happen like that. It does not. There's only one Andy Whitfield and and

43:27Oti: far out, man.

43:27KT: That is the most referenced TV show or movie that we had I'm happy about that. In '20 Yeah. I'm happy nineteen slash 2020. Mhmm. Quality. Mhmm. Quality. The next category that we have, which we already mentioned in our Christmas episode, so you should already know this, is the most listened to episode.

43:48Oti: Oh, Has to be our La Casa de Papel.

43:54KT: La Casa de Papel.

43:57Oti: Am I right? Woo hoo hoo. Yes, sir. Oh, we pulled audiences all over the world. We should Lord Trotters coming in to listen to our impersonation of Denver.

44:11KT: Denver? Really? You know what? I I got on the merry-go-round of Oti and unfortunately, I wanted to get off on my own. I didn't need to get off with him.

44:24Oti: You're already off by the time you left me. Wow, sir. But

44:29KT: Money Heist is everything. And we also covered it twice in one year. Yeah. We have two hours worth, so probably not. I do wanna give a shout out to Dan and Caleb from the Netflix and Swell. They don't really cover La Casa de Papel, so how dare you? But also they also give us a shout out every time we cover La Casa de Papel. Good in there. They outsource they outsource their reviews to us. But yes.

44:59KT: So Money Heist was unique in that we covered it twice in one year. I don't think we're ever gonna do that again, Oti. No. I think that's just reserved for Money Heist. Yeah. And when the third season drops,

45:11Oti: best be sure Chili's out. That KT and Oti will be out.

45:17KT: Bowls emptied. Is that the expression?

45:22Oti: Ah, don't you see what you do to me, Monica? This erection I have right now is for you.

45:34KT: I feel like you forget with the earphones how loud you are. So if we have anyone walking past our door right now

45:40Oti: Mate, I'm doing this for love. But I'm sure they hear a lot of shit when they're walking past our door. It's it's it's just the price you pay for rent around here, mate. You know? It's a high price

45:52KT: and it is a high reward indeed. Yes, it is the Splooshie Awards, but what else did you expect? It's For Your Reference, motherfuckers.

46:02Oti: Mhmm.

46:03KT: The next category we have is our most listened to country. This isn't a pop quiz. It's quite obvious. But do you know what our most listened to country

46:14Oti: is? Has to be America.

46:16KT: America.

46:18Oti: Yeah. No. There's no going past that. Because I'm a little bit country. And I'm a little bit hip hopity hop.

46:27KT: Why do I let you on this punk?

46:30Oti: The same reason you let me on the Twitter. You've never been on the Twitter. Yeah.

46:36KT: You're on like a fake account. Again, if Oti is trying to like slide into your DMs and it's not For Your Ref Pod, just ignore him. Jesus Christ. Are you done, sir? Yeah. Okay. So the next two categories we have is in regards to duration. Mhmm. Mhmm. What do you think our shortest episode was and how long? You're the editor, so you should know this shit. Oh. Oh. Oh. I think the shortest episode we've done 50 episodes.

47:07Oti: Is Office Space.

47:11KT: No. It's Luce.

47:14Oti: Luce.

47:15KT: At fifty nine minutes. Let's go to our longest episode. Oh,

47:23Oti: I don't think there's any doubt about this. It has to be The Wire.

47:27KT: It is. And I did say it was two and a half hours. I probably shouldn't have said that. I'm actually all cool here, but you said it pretty much, like, less than twenty minutes ago. So those are the categories that we have. We're now getting into the awards, Oti. Oh,

47:41Oti: ring the bell. Ring the bell. London Bridge is about to fall. So

47:47KT: we actually have six awards that we are giving out today. Yep. I'm holding up the awards right now just like a makeup guru. Yeah. Oh, I can I can tell they're purple? Yeah. Just like an eggplant, motherfucker. And the first category that we have that also reflects our Patreon tiers is Firm Foundation, Oti.

48:13Clip: Laying the groundwork claim the groundwork for the story. Surely, in your mind, you could see where the story would possibly go and in that, give you the excitement of wanting to watch father to see how it develops. But that's like saying you've laid the foundation for a house and the house isn't done yet. You can't praise that. Mate, once you've laid down the house, the foundation of the house, the house is pretty much done. That's the hardest thing to do. Join me on Oti's architectural

48:45Clip: one zero one.

48:45KT: Okay. If if Oti is messaging you to build your houses, just just just block him. And this is why you're not allowed on the Twitter. Okay? Because And that is exactly why you're not allowed on the Twitter, Oti. So the Firm Foundation award goes out to a TV show or a movie that is super super popular, and it definitely deserves all of the praise. Mhmm. Let's read out the nominees, Oti. Okay. We have 300

49:19Oti: Mhmm.

49:21KT: Archer Mhmm. The Wire, The Big Lebowski, and Game of Thrones. And the award goes to The Wire. And accepting this award is the host that rated it the most highest being KT McNulty. Yay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Shit. Who knew? Such a great show. Everyone should watch The Wire. It covers all aspects of

50:00KT: life and it is super great And we love it. And watch it. Watch it. Watch it again. You have three and a half hours of For Your Reference content to also listen to after you watch The Wire again. Thank you so much. The next category that we have is the Pardon the Pun tier, Oti. Woo hoo.

50:00Clip: Hearing the language in its intended purpose is more powerful, and you get more inflection, and you get more dimension to the story than to just hear it in an English version.

50:37Clip: You know what I mean? Sometimes it doesn't translate if you pardon the pun as well. As with every episode we have, we are going to delve into spoilers. So get out, if you'll pardon the pun. You know what? I think part of the problem is this show has been overhyped to hell or to winter hell, if you'll pardon the pun. So it seems like as a as an American Psycho or as a Korean psycho, if you pardon the pun Mhmm. And he goes into a drawer and he finds a purple dildo

51:11Clip: as most common garden varieties have, if you'll pardon the pun. Okay. I'm going to choose the next person because you keep derailing us, if you'll pardon the pun, because they get a train by the next one. At the time that Black Mirror came out, it it was cutting edge, if you'll pardon the pun.

51:11KT: Alright. Pardon the Pun tier. Now this is awarded to TV shows or movies that are just so steeped in brilliance. How dare you surprise me with so much quality? Now

51:46KT: keep in mind, we did cover 50 episodes. So we had a lot of nominees for this one. Mhmm. We had The Boys, Into the Spider-Verse, Black Panther, Joker, Burning, Money Heist, After Life, and Succession. It's a lot. It's a lot. And the award goes to, for the Pardon the Pun Award, Money Heist, otherwise known as La Casa de Papel. And this goes to El Oti Professor.

52:29Oti: Alright. Thank you for the cast and crew for doing a brilliant job. It's such an amazing work that you've done here. It's so hard to find a show that encapsulates, a lot of things that you'd want in a show. It just does a lot of the simple small things right, and then very few shows can you actually look forward to the second season, which it does better. Thank you for this award, and it's been amazing.

52:59KT: Oh, well, you, El Oti Professor.

53:02Oti: Oh, you're welcome.

53:05KT: The next award that we have is Reverse Noctis. And if you haven't listened to Spartacus, we will not like the king deflower you Reverse Primae Noctis in spoilers. So please, if you have not watched Spartacus, it is our responsibility aside from drinking responsibly to also listen responsibly. If you have not watched Spartacus, we have Game of Thrones, which is you know, it'll break you in. It will get you ready for the penetration of the show that is Spartacus. Okay. So Reverse Primae Noctis is a very interesting category

53:47KT: that we have. Mhmm. So we nominated TV shows and also movies. If you could go back and remove all memory and all feeling and watch it for the very first time again. Yeah. Because you can rewatch something, but it's not the same as the first time. No. It never is. Right? And the nominees, again, we covered 50 episodes and we nominated five. So the nominees are Deadwood, Black Panther, John Wick, Naruto, Bad Boys for Life, Succession, Lion King, La Casa de Papel, Money Heist and also 300. And the award for Reverse Primae Noctis is

54:44KT: Naruto. And accepting the award today, we have Kakashi Oti. That's two for one right now. Two for one.

55:02Oti: Thank you so much. Like, it's amazing. It's hard to find an anime character that you can really cheer for as much as Naruto. It's the first time that you see such a a loving kid that is is pretty much against the world, and that moment alone is worth everything. Like, I cannot I've watched a lot of animes, but the moment I watched Naruto, that first moment and just seeing him, it just trumps all.

55:32KT: Oh. That was such a sweet speech, but I'm also losing, so I don't feel great about you right now. The next award that we have is called Striking Urethras.

55:49Clip: Yeah. And one of the fascinating questions you asked was how it felt for Karl, especially being a woman Yeah. And being fat. It was like

56:01Clip: and they later explained it that Like, does it go inside his urethra? What? How does it work?

56:09Clip: You know they have butts. Right?

56:13Clip: Yeah. But guys have butts. Charlie Brooker, please call us. We have very we have pertinent questions

56:21Clip: to the our understanding of your uterus. Who would fuck someone's urethra? That would be beautiful hours. Because it's in the front. You're ridiculous. Because it's in the front. You're ridiculous.

56:33Clip: Oti, you still haven't given me a reasonable explanation.

56:37Oti: I I think that clip just said everything. Like, I'm mouth agape at the moment.

56:43KT: Yeah. With your hole in the front. So Striking Urethras is a very, very interesting award. It goes out to TV shows and also movies where you feel all of the feels. The ratings do not matter. Popularity does not matter. This is your show, Striking Urethras. Are you ready for the nominees, Oti? I am ready. We have 30 Rock, Power, Vikings, Archer, Succession, Spartacus, Money Heist, and The Boys. And the award for Striking Urethras goes to

57:35KT: Spartacus.

57:38KT: Accepting the award is Oti Ashur. Yay.

57:46Oti: Wow. It's an honor. It's so hard to find a show that means a lot to me personally than Spartacus. The time it aired and the difficulties he went through just synced with my life at the moment and it's one of the shows that rates a 10 in my book any day every day I've rewatched it more than 10 times it's amazing and thank you for the award. It means everything.

58:15KT: Oh, well, that's three against one, unfortunately. So congratulations to Oti. Who knew you starred in so many of the TV shows and movies I did. That we covered this year. Okay. So let's take a bit of a break from the awards. I see some more people on the red carpet Oti. Oh, yeah. And these are people that we guested on. So if you didn't know, we actually guested on some other podcasts in the past year. And I think I see some good old double d's and not even mine because I'm E, motherfucker.

58:49KT: I see Daniel and Dean from the Movie Journey podcast. Oh, look at them. Let's see what they have to say.

58:57Guests: Alright. We've just come out of the intermission of the For Your Reference one year episode spectacular, and I'm joined by the guys over at the Movie Journey podcast.

59:06Guests: Dean, you're my favorite, and Hendo, not as cool. How you going, guys? I'm sorry. Who do you work for? What what what's your company? Are you just some guy on the street here? I am. I am. I oh, wait. No. Yeah.

59:17Guests: I am just some some random person on the street, but I'm I'm I'm really interested. I mean, I mean, how's it all going in there, Hendo? I've never had anyone who's told me that they're the biggest Dean fan. Hey. Hey. Hey. Now come on. I get told all the time that people are a much bigger fan of me than you, Hendo. Never the end to your question random

59:33Guests: journalist here. He looks very familiar. We're doing great. One year anniversary for KT and Oti For Your Reference, man. Fantastic show. Love it. I'm not at all surprised, though, because you guys are fantastic.

59:45Guests: And boy, did we love having you on our show despite the, you know, controversial result of us not winning for once.

59:52Guests: Yeah. Well, I guess they can prove you certainly can't win them all, and who better to beat us for one of our first times in KT and Oti. It was a great experience. How can we forget old Gerard Butler in our White House Down, wasn't it? Yes.

60:03Guests: It was. But, no, you guys, you're fantastic. We love you. So congrats, and keep up the great work. Alright, random journalist. Can you bugger off back home? Alright. I'm just gonna go. I don't know.

60:13KT: That was

60:16Oti: cute. I didn't care too much by the Gerard Butler snippet, You by the

60:23KT: need to be reminded. A thousand a thousand Gerard Butler lashes to you, sir. I thought you're gonna say a thousand

60:32Oti: kisses

60:33KT: to you. No. You get the lashes, sir. And not a penny more. Alright. Or a penny wise, apparently. How how delightful. How delightful. We were even in in the prestigious Pod v Pod. Yeah.

60:51Oti: I look forward to those every every week and the polling as well on Twitter. It's just Yeah. We do love Daniel and Dean's polls.

61:03KT: I made that joke before, but I'm gonna fucking say it again. Fight me. Because you have to own that shit. But thank you so much for having us on your podcast. We're not very good with movie trivia, so I think Oti will need to go there alone if you ever want us on there again. Yeah. Not unless you want another Gerard Butler situation going around. Yes. And moving away from Gerard Butler, I see Olivia and Michael from the Late to the Show podcast.

61:34Guests: Ow.

61:35Guests: Ow. Ow what? My stilettos keep getting caught on this shaggy red carpet. Well, beauty hurts, right? It does hurt. I've been in pain ever since I was born.

61:48Guests: But at least we get to be here right This rocks. Oh, excuse me, Mr. Tarantino. Oh, is he asking us a question? No, I bumped into him. Oh.

61:58Guests: Oh, look, look. You see who that is? Oh, is that them? It's them.

62:03Guests: For Your Reference?

62:05Guests: For Your Reference. You remember when we had them On our show. On our show? The greatest show. Show.

62:13Guests: Is why we've been invited to accept some awards. I remember when we had them on for, Spider-Verse, Into the Spider-Verse. Oh my god.

62:26Guests: They're hilarious. They're charming.

62:29Guests: Easy to talk to. Australian. They made everything on our show better by a million. I know. Yeah. It instantly

62:37Guests: put it into a God tier And level

62:40Guests: they put us in such a good mood. Like, we were all so happy during that episode. I miss that.

62:48Guests: Hey. I'm happy we're here at the award show. Me too. I hope they win Everything. Lots and lots of awards, but maybe one less than what we win. Yeah. That's reasonable.

62:59Guests: I'm just glad we get to be in the same vicinity as them. I know. Yeah. What an honor for us. I hope they like my stilettos. I don't think they wouldn't be able to. What the hell does that mean?

63:14Guests: I can't I can't parse that sentence.

63:16Guests: Don't try to. It was a compliment. I promise. Oh, thanks. No problem.

63:22KT: Oh. Wow. Just as delightful as Into the Spider-Verse. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much to Michael and Olivia. And the interesting thing is we didn't even think one year of podcasting, we did not even think to give ourselves awards.

63:41Oti: No, we did not. But the good thing is I was trying to get KT to watch Into the Spider-Verse for the longest time. Yeah. And Late to the Show, swooped in and made us like, it was just easier to convince KT to do it because fuck it. We were ready. And it was such a good episode. They're very lovely people. And the fact that they cover Breaking Bad episode by bloody episode makes it even more the more delightful.

64:10KT: Ever so delightful. So we don't even need to cover it. You can just go and listen listen to Late to the Show. And we already made that decision. If you want anything as good as we're not gonna do a better job,

64:21Oti: so why not just listen to the best when it comes to bloody Breaking Bad breakdown?

64:27KT: Right? Speaking of the most delicious of breakdowns, I see Natalie from the Some Kind of Brown podcast.

64:35Guests: Oh my goodness. Thank you. Yes. My dress was designed by me in a fever dream. KT and Oti, they are two of the most hilarious people I have ever talked to. At first, I wasn't entirely sure that Oti even existed because we've never seen his face, but now I know he is a true artist. You know how eccentric passionate artists can be. Luckily, KT has been the willing face, and I'm telling you, she wears it even better than that little Gucci number she's walking around here in. Honestly,

65:07Guests: I've talked to them for so long when I had them on my podcast. It was like talking to friends I'd already known, and we were just hanging out. I'm really excited to see where they go with their podcast. I mean, being on my hugely massive podcast was already such a milestone for them, but they've really rocketed off and are getting all sorts of people thirsty.

65:27KT: Oh, yes. And the most thirstiest of friends and lovers. Thank you so much, Natalie. That was so nice.

65:34Oti: Yeah. Like, it was an episode not to talk about any movie or TV show, just us and life and it was one of the best.

65:43KT: Yeah. And, you know, we talk a lot about frame of reference, but we don't get into a lot of detail in regards to our personal lives and also our relationship. So if you wanted to know a bit more about the For Your Reference tidbits, definitely check out the Some Kind of Brown podcast or just in general. She has a great podcast. She really does. She also has A Girl and Her Horror as well. As if one podcast isn't enough. Oh, she's killing it in every front.

66:13Oti: And you know I love a good horror so it's good that she's doing this. You know what I classify as a horror? Making me watch all of the Marvel movies. It's a horror that I look continually enduring until I

66:25KT: no longer exist. We can we can work on that. And speaking of Marvel movies, I see Andy from the Geek Salad podcast.

66:38Guests: Hey. It's Andy from the Geek Salad podcast, and I am here on the red carpet tonight to toast KT and Oti on one year of the For Your Reference podcast. It only seems like yesterday that I discovered them on their Titanic episode where we all discovered that we all share this collected hatred of that movie. Oh my god. Kate Winslet is such a dumb bitch. But I also think the biggest thrill of my life was having them appear on my show when we were counting down the top MCU moments,

67:13Guests: and it never occurred to me until Oti mentioned to me how Forest Whitaker was pronouncing the name Dicchala. I love everything about them. They are awesome. They are super sexy. They are For Your Reference, and I am so happy to be here on the red carpet tonight honoring them. Cheers, mates.

67:39Oti: Oh, Oh, man. His agent has to be really good.

67:47KT: Right. And Andy doesn't need an agent because he's fucking great. We

67:53Oti: fucking love the Geek Salad podcast. It's the only salad I get to every week. Yeah. And his podcast allowed me to open up to the Marvel Universe because KT is not gonna do that. And it was such a good time talking about it, and it's just such a lovely guy. He's a great guy. He's a great guy.

68:15KT: Geek Salad is a great show. You know what also is a great show? Movie Seller. And I think I see Dan. Interestingly, he's on his own even though it's a three part podcast, but I see Dan on the red carpet. Let's say hello.

68:31Guests: Hi there. This is Gisela Ferrari, and I'm out here for E! Entertainment News on the red carpet with Overlord Dan from the Movie Seller podcast. It's an up and coming movie podcast for the common folks. Hello, Overlord Dan. How are you, darling? You can just call me Dan, but I'm great, Gisela. Thanks for asking. Of course, darling. Now please tell me about this outfit. It's adorable. That custom vintage rock band t shirt for who is that? GWAR? Is that a Saint Louis? No.

69:12Guests: I think it's just the Hanes T-shirt. I got it actually at a GWAR show. It was a ridiculous show. I mean, it was awesome. There was blood everywhere and oh, oh, dear. Oh, let's not talk about those kinds of things on live television. So you and the boys couldn't face the burden of the Christmas season, I hear. You needed some help with the show. Is it true what TMZ reported that you, Overlord Dan, were thrown in the clink for attempting to murder your cohost? No.

69:48Guests: I mean, I definitely wanted to strangle George several times and producer Chris on that one occasion where he told us that he hated Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but the police have never been involved. I mean, honestly, we just thought it'd be fun to spread the love for the holidays, get some of our friends involved, and see what they could do with the show. I thought it came out awesome, and everyone did a wicked good job.

70:12Guests: Yes. Yes. Of course, dear. I think the whole world was shocked to see such a reputable show as For Your Reference agreed to do a guest spot for you. Care to tell us how thrilled you were to work with them? Yeah. We were pretty shocked ourselves, honestly. KT and Oti, they make a fantastic show with great insight and quick wit. And, honestly, I just threw them a message because you never know. People might be in the giving spirit around the holidays. Thankfully, they were, and the end product came out amazing.

70:45Guests: You know, we reached out. We asked if they're willing to watch a Christmas movie, maybe review that for us, and they responded shortly after saying they'd be thrilled to participate, but as you'd expect from For Your Reference, they didn't wanna play within the rules. So they asked if they could do their own their episode on holiday specials from a sitcom. We were a little apprehensive at first since we let the Drinkapedia crew do something similar, and they ended up freaking using our airwaves

71:16Guests: to spread the lie that Parks and Rec is a better show than The Office, which is ridiculous. But when I asked what show For Your Reference wanted to cover, they said they'd like to go through The Office Christmas specials. And I obviously knew right then that we had to let them do it. I mean, I was a little nervous because they are famous for being critical of Jim and Pam, but I knew they counteract Drinkapedia's Parks and Rec comments. And, honestly, no show has better Christmas specials than The Office. So

71:47Guests: I was nervous the whole time listening, but they kept their Jim and Pam hate to a minimum. And the episode was insightful and funny and one of the best of our twelve days of Christmas series. We really appreciate what a great job that they did and all the the effort that they put into making that episode for us. I mean, KT and Oti are consummate professionals in podcasting. We're so happy for them hitting their one year anniversary, and we're so excited to see where they go in the next year.

72:20Guests: Well, thank you for taking the time to talk with us, darling. Have a great evening. This is Gisela Ferrari sending it back to you in the studio.

72:31KT: Oh, Dan.

72:33Oti: Oh, Dan.

72:35KT: Getting interviewed by ET and getting sources from TMZ. Would you even mention For Your Reference?

72:43Oti: I do not know.

72:45KT: He was probably coerced. I will not release the DMs. Okay? Speaking of most sumptuous, most aubergine of lovers, we have Elaine. I can see Elaine and also Fern. Who? In the most designer of outfits.

73:06KT: Let's check them out on the red carpet.

73:06Guests: Hi. Yes. It's me, Elaine Bast from Angus Eye Tea. I oh my gosh. I am so excited to be on this carpet. I've never been on a carpet before. Literally, I only live underneath a stone based on how many movie references I don't know. But I've learned so much from For Your Reference, and honestly, KT and Oti are some of my favorite people.

73:31Guests: They crack me up, and they also make me blush. It's hilarious how much more I've learned from them than my sex ed in high school. But I they're such a phenomenal podcast that has such a rich backstory too. The fake Oti conspiracy, wondering if Oti is real. Who is he? Is he also, like, Bigfoot? Is he the Loch Ness monster,

73:56Guests: or is he just their Greyhound Theo? I mean, it keeps me up at night, but that's what I love about them. They're they know how to catch you and and lure you in with their amazing banter and their knowledge. Oh. I scouted them out for my Christmas special, A Very Anxious Christmas, because I absolutely knew I needed to have top talent on that special.

74:19Guests: And I reached out to them, and they were like, heck yes. Let's do it. So I just really appreciate them lowering their standards Aw. To help out a little peon like me. That's actually what they call me, a peon. So

74:33Guests: you know, we all have I I just love that they're so confident. It's really cute. While I have no idea what they're saying half the time, because even though we both speak English, like, Australian slang is so confusing to me, but I feel really cultured now, and I understand Zumbo's desserts way better. KT and Oti are just they're hilarious, intelligent, and downright dirty. And they are kicking ass, and I'm so excited to see what comes next. I absolutely love them, and thank you. Oh my god. Wait. Is that James McAvoy?

75:03Guests: Okay, Mac Daddy. Sorry. I have to go. James.

75:08Guests: James, I love

75:10KT: I also love James McAvoy as well.

75:15KT: Do you wanna take over and I can go and chase James McAvoy in Vallaine?

75:15Oti: Oh, if he's coming, he has his Split character, you can chase him all the way.

75:25KT: I really enjoyed that Christmas episode. That was quite fun. It really was, wasn't it? If you haven't tuned in to Angus Eye Tea and her Christmas special, it was like the ghost of Christmas past.

75:37Oti: We had a lot of fun recording it.

75:40KT: Oh, yes. Yeah. It was it was a scenario where we were recording in the cinema while the film was playing, and I feel like we're not far from that. We

75:52Oti: really are. And it was just fun listening. Well, because it you know, she does a great show and Oh, yes. Just to be able to be part of her little creative process was such a big honor. So we're really, really, really, really, really appreciative of that.

76:10KT: Oh, yes. Definitely. So shout out to Elaine and Fern. We fucking love yous. And I think everyone has made their way into the theater. Yeah. And Fern and Theo need to hook up soon. Yes. Fern and Theo and we will start a reality show. Yeah. It can be a TLC show. If you don't care about dogs, then you have to find a filter for all of the ball licking that happens but especially in the Spartacus episode the ball licking is just from Oti. Fucking love Spartacus. So Oti

76:49KT: we are rounding out the last couple awards of the affair Mhmm. Or the evening, as classy people like to call it. Yep. Daddywood. Dan is definitely your right-hand man. You definitely want him in your camp. Yeah. He's loyal. He loves

77:08Oti: he loves Al. Oh, yes. Through and through. Like, he he he seeks Al's valid you know, validation as well.

77:18KT: Oh, yeah. Everyone does. There's like a daddy complex. They should call it Daddywood. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. No.

77:28Oti: Can't even pretend now by mistake.

77:32KT: Oh my god. And I did say earlier we should have a podcast. It's called a Daddywood. Jesus. Oh, fucking Even I have even I have a line and I Oh, are you sure? It depends. It depends on how long you've been listening to For Your Reference. If I watched Deadwood before we started the podcast, we probably would've called it Daddywood. Mhmm. I call myself KT McShane all the time, whether he's my biological father or he's just my daddy on the weekend. Who knows?

78:04Oti: Friends and lovers. What a thin line mate.

78:08KT: But my bean still gets flicked. Don't you motherfucking worry. Oh, wow. So let's talk about let me put my sparkling down. Let's talk about the Daddywood award. This is the creme de la creme. When we nominate this TV show or movie, everything else disappears from what we covered. That is how high the stakes are, friends and lovers. Are you ready for the nominees, Oti? I am ready. We have Get Out, Black Panther, Deadwood, if you're nasty, The Wire, Archer, Succession, Money Heist, and also Spartacus. Hot doggy. Are you ready? I'm ready.

79:02KT: And the recipient of the Daddywood Award goes to Succession. Woah. I am disappointed that, unfortunately, Deadwood did not win this award. I do guarantee that I voted for Deadwood in all of the categories. Unfortunately, Deadwood didn't win this time. We have Greg Oti accepting the award for Succession for winning Daddywood.

79:36Oti: Wow. Four great shows nominated with me, but I'm glad that we won because Succession took it to a different level. From the get go, we set the space. We knew what we were and we delivered in every aspect from Kendall to KT's Rome. They're brilliant, brilliant, brilliant characters.

80:00KT: Now let's get to the last award. This one's a bit bigger. For all of everyone that deserves to be pleasured in their holes. We have the ultimate Sploosh Mountain.

80:20Oti: Oh. The best award of the night. Hot dig it out.

80:26KT: Mhmm. Now, this Sploosh Mountain award is very, very imperative. You know why, Oti? Why? Because if you listen to our Christmas episode, you would have heard us actually go through our ratings. Mhmm. I actually like it that way. We release our full reviews and you won't know until Christmas until we start a Letterboxd what the ratings of those TV shows or movies are. Mhmm. Right? So Sploosh Mountain is the TV show or the movie with the highest average rating. Oh. Yeah. So if you wanna quantify it in numbers, this is the best

81:10KT: TV show or movie that we covered in 2019. Yowzers.

81:17Oti: Are you ready? I'm ready. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. I'm ready. I'm ready. I think it will be Predestination, actually.

81:32KT: Oh. Yeah. I think we really gave it high marks with Tom. Well, I better hope Tom has given us some motherfucking listeners, dickhead.

81:43Oti: He's got a history to it. Hey.

81:46KT: Vomit. Let's go to the nominees that just missed out. So again, the Sploosh Mountain Award that we have at the Splooshie Awards at 2020 for the For Your Reference podcast. These were rated nine out of 10, so they just missed out. Mhmm. We have Get Out. Oh, okay. We have Deadwood.

82:11Oti: Okay.

82:12KT: We have The Boys. Oh, alright. We have 30 Rock. Yeah. How dare you? Yeah. Yeah. I'm not hearing previously, so I'm pretty close then. Okay. No. But I'm just saying 30 Rock deserves way more than just what you give me on a weeknight, but it's fine. And the last nominee that we had rated at a nine for our Christmas special was The Big Lebowski. Oh, good. So then Good. Good. Good. He didn't win then. Yeah. But The Lebowski was great. You just couldn't see it. And wait for our collaboration with Filmbusters.

82:51Oti: How about this Jesus thing? The Jesus Rolls. Yeah.

82:55KT: Okay. And we have nominees that have just missed out being rated 9.5.

83:03Oti: 9.5? Yes. For The Big Lebowski, I think I gave it a seven or some shit. Yeah. But we evened it out. Don't you worry. We

83:13KT: love you, Ben. We evened that motherfucker out.

83:16Oti: Okay. Okay. So

83:18KT: 9.5 Mhmm. We had La Casa de Papel, otherwise known as Money Heist. Oh,

83:27Oti: Okay. I see that. I agree with that. Okay. And we also had Spartacus.

83:33KT: Oh, no.

83:35Oti: I was secretly hoping for you to win. You can Sploosh Mountain in the corner after that. That's fine. Sploosh Mountain, all the splooshiest mountain ever.

83:43KT: The splooshiest of sploosh. Oh, okay. Okay.

83:47Oti: Okay.

83:48KT: Oti, are you ready? I am ready. Give me a sound effect. I didn't didn't know you were ready to share your cum sound, but that's fine. The winner for Sploosh Mountain, the highest rating TV show or movie that we have covered in the For Your Reference podcast, motherfuckers, is The Wire. Now, again, The Wire was covered by myself and also Oti, but also Amy D and Chuck from the Why I'm Single podcast.

84:32KT: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for listening to that motherfucking episode. Do you think if we told Amy D and Chuck they would have flown down for this? Oh, there was. Look at the size of that trophy. That's fucking huge.

84:46Oti: For this motherfucking thing? Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

84:46KT: How do you feel, Oti? Because you actually didn't know the results of this.

84:46Oti: I did not. I did not. And for some bloody reason, I don't know why I didn't think of the why because you're already really high. Yeah. I thought Spartacus would sneak it in there and steal it the win because, of course, I gave it, like, a 10.

84:46KT: And I gave it a nine. Oti Pryzbylewski

85:10KT: accepting this Sploosh

85:13KT: motherfucker Mountain. Here you go.

85:13Oti: The Wire is such a great show that resonates with everyone. Everyone that pretty much watches TV knows of the fucking Wire because we set a trend and everyone bloody tries to follow. We'll never be caught because hello, Baltimore.

85:34KT: And that's it. That is the Sploosh Mountain in the Splooshie Awards for the For Your Reference household in 2020.

85:42Oti: Wow. They're wild. In every award category that he nominated, fucking Bambasa was there. Blam Panther? Black Panther. Black Panther is there. It's there in every category because it's awesome. Please. Are you really most welcome?

85:42KT: I am most oh, I don't know. I think my fifteenth glass of bloody sparkling is getting to my head. But thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much to everyone that has tuned into

86:12KT: the first inaugural Splooshie Awards.

86:16Oti: The Splooshies.

86:17KT: And if you are Pardon the Pun tier and above, you'll be able to see this video version. Again, the side effects according to Oti are most pleasurable. I'm not really sure about that, but you can see me drink lots of sparkling sort of shit. Mhmm. And it is great. And we are all most welcome. Well, let's close this off. On Twitter and Instagram, we are For Your Ref Pod. You can write us in bloody email at hello@fyrpodcast.com. And we'll see you guys next week for our two year.
