Switch today. Conditions apply. Details at fizz.ca. It's the worst idea, it's the worst idea of all time.
Everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know.
How you doing Tim?
Good man. Hot. It's a hot one out there. I've got the fan on in here if you can hear it. Our third guest today is...
A huge fan.
Huge fan of ours.
Who are you?
Rob Thomas?
Can you trace that, what I was doing with that back?
I can't even... is he Matchbox 20?
Yeah.
I don't know their songs well enough to...
It was a solo one with Santana.
He says, man it's a hot one. Ah, don't know that song's well enough to it was it was a solo one. Oh, okay, Anna. He says man. It's a hot one
Ah don't know that song you would know it man. It's a hot one. Oh, yeah
Yeah, I can do the beating son. It's Santana still alive. I
Feel like I would have
Had a push notification if he was did fine. Yeah
notification if he was dead by now. Yeah.
But he's...
The new way I keep my tracking of
celebrity lives and deaths is whether or not there's been a push
notification. Where do you get it from?
You've got your phone on the desk
with a loaded weapon. I've actually turned off all my push
notifications. Except I still get
them from Uber Eats.
And they come through from the phone to the watch.
I get them from Uber Eats. Can you turn that
on? Oh you want that?
No.
And the Westfield Mall app.
What's Westfield Mall telling you
that needs to be directly to your brain?
Well, I just got one then.
I could win $10,000 voucher, I think.
From God's ears to your smartwatch.
Chelsea, we went to the mall, and then, I don't know, everything has to be on an app now.
We had to park the car and to get the car, like you either pay $15 to park there for two hours or you get an app and you get a free park.
I'm interested in this, because like, as people know, I'm a huge purveyor of fast food.
And I tell you what, if you download,
it applies to everything in life now,
but if you download an app, they give you crazy deals.
It's like, we have been hidden from the value exchange
that is occurring here.
I'm not fully across what the transaction is,
but like, you know roughly how much money they're losing
by you getting the app.
Yeah.
In the case of your parking, $15.
What in God's name are they doing on your phone
that's worth $15 to them?
I feel like to be a pure Luddite now,
you either have to just be like complete,
you know, not destitute,
but like you either have to be so rich
you can afford all of the various inconveniences
and you know, extra costs it takes.
Like this monastic, self-made millionaire.
You have to be, I suppose.
But how do you make money now? You make it in tech.
It's the only thing going.
So like, what the fuck?
Is that all there is? Athletes are still making money.
That's true.
Such a narrow band.
Yeah, there's not a lot of people.
If you're there making your own money and you haven't dedicated your life to catching or hitting or kicking a ball.
Yeah. Imagine not working on your hand at school
and then you're like, damn, I don't like tech either.
What are you left with?
It's about everything is just,
there's a narrower band of people
who is getting through the slipstream to become,
the actual high paying regular person jobs
are all, you know, what's gonna last,
doctors gonna last.
I don't know, AI? AI doctors?
Being AI is a good career move. If you can pivot to being AI.
Easy! So if we've got any teenagers listening now, people who are in high school,
maybe selecting like college majors, that kind of thing, be AI.
Yeah, the money's not good, but the work is intense.
The money's not good, but the money's not good anywhere.
And that's sort of the point.
And you'll be in a position to be useful,
because people will need the AI.
Wouldn't it be?
You know how there's stories that come out all the time
about how, so for example, with Amazon,
they had this thing where you could go into the store
and just grab items, put them in your cart.
They ran like groceries, supermarkets.
And you just put stuff in your cart and then left.
And it used cameras and AI to track all the things you got and it would charge your Amazon
account?
No.
Yeah.
So you didn't do a card or anything.
But it turned out what was happening is there was very little AI being used because the
technology didn't work. It was just being sent to, you know, like the global south for very cheap workers
to look at video and do it for them. Oh, wouldn't it be amazing if chat GPT and deep sequence
was just a bunch of people furiously typing and we hadn't figured it out yet.
It's still humans all the way down.
Yeah. We just hadn't sussed it yet.
The server farms are like exploitative workers wearing tails.
Yeah.
They're telling us the energy costs are real high for like all this computer
technology, just like we got to get them fed and housed and get them so many
encyclopedias.
Weirdly the server farms are unionized and they wouldn't let anything else.
But they can't let the secret get out.
Man, it's a crazy thought Tim.
I think what you just stumbled into is a hot stand-up premise.
So you're good.
Yeah, they're short on time.
Why do you keep looking at your what?
Because I'm getting texts from someone.
Oh, okay. Oh, OK.
Oh, there it is.
I need my phone.
I'm getting texts from someone for something
to do with our work.
Oh, cool.
Coming up later.
We're recording after this.
And we've got a guest.
It's a cease and desist message from Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Yeah, man.
Hey, so have you been seeing the shit with him recently?
No.
Oh, OK.
So his, oh, fuck, I wish I had this to hand.
I should look it up so I get it right,
but his cousin is dragging him online
for not calling out RFK Jr. enough.
But he's saying crazy shit.
The cousin is.
The cousin is.
The cousin is saying like...
Remember when we were 13 and you no it's in the milk or something
No, he's all focused on our if gay and he keeps calling Cheryl our if case wife dry and every
Try it dry. Why is your wife so dry bro? It's like, you know, you're fuck with anti-vex
Why is your wife so trying? It's just relentless. But now he's tagging our boy Patty to try and bring him into the fray.
Patty's it's so important for Patty to rise above.
Well just to stay apolitical really.
It's important for us because he's tattooed to our body.
Like this is the moment we kind of feared.
This is the exact historical moment that we thought one day would come.
When 10 years ago we we got our tattoos.
We were like, listen, this is a roll of the dice because Patty's a young man.
Who knows what could happen in the infinite possibilities of the future.
And here we are with the second president Trump term.
Patty's got some big decisions to make.
He's got, yeah.
Trying to make his way in Hollywood.
He's got to look out for himself.
And what he's unaware of is he has to look out for us too and our interests aren't always necessarily going to overlap with his interests.
Exactly. Guy, how are you man? How's Monty?
Pretty good. Pretty good. I bought this coffee on the way here. I actually got you something too. I don't even know if you want it all but I thought it might be nice to give it to you.
Guy's love language is gifts
If it's not oh
It's a very nice beautiful fucking don't yeah
Look at that if you're on the sub stack you can see the dough you can see the you're not just imagine a donut
And I'll do my best this looks like an art is anal like handcrafteded gourmet cream filled donut that is sprinkled with powdered icing sugar on top and also...
Is it called desiccated? Is that what it's called? Desiccated raspberry?
Desiccated? You know what? It is a bit called desiccated.
Is it? Or is it... Am I... Is that stupid?
Get a squeegee in some slop for this desiccated-ass pussy.
Because it means dried out.
What's up, Cheryl?
What's going on?
What is crazy is it's quite hot in the studio.
I can't eat this yet.
And I'm looking at a lot of cream.
I'm looking at a lot of cream, and I'm just
seeing in my head a timer.
A countdown.
Live, active.
I'm not going to eat that on the microphone.
Just because I want to be in better form than you on this episode. And. I'm not gonna eat that on the microphone. Just cause I wanna be in better form than you
on this episode.
You want to film me with cream?
I'm trying to load you up with cream.
Oh, I like this.
Okay, what's going on here, Monty?
Are you feeling a little slow off that?
Yeah.
You just got back from Australia.
Yeah, I was in Australia.
That's a big flight.
Well, it was actually, it was faster on the way back.
What is that about?
In and out of Brisbane.
Three hours 45 to get there,
two hours 50 to get back.
Huh?
Okay, wind.
Yeah, is it wind?
Wind and a different plane actually,
it was a different plane on the way back.
A better plane?
Are you freaked out about flying at the moment?
Because of what, bird strike and the currents
and the climate?
No, I don't know, it just feels like
there's a lot more plane crews at the moment. That's only in other parts of the world. That's true.
Between Australia and New Zealand? We're still okay. There's nothing going on. I know
statistically everything's fine but like. Oh man I mean look if I kept up with
the minute with everything I wouldn't leave bed. You're getting push
notifications from Westfields you need to get some news in there bro. That is
news there's no opportunity to get a $10,000 voucher at Westfield. You need to get some news in there, bro. That is news.
There's no opportunity to get a $10,000 out you're at Westfield.
That could be big news actually.
That's news.
Uh, no, but I'm a good man.
Yeah.
I was in Australia.
I'm not, I'm going to go back to Australia soon and I'm sort of entering the phase of,
um, I suppose either the year or my life where I sometimes go to Australia.
Yeah.
And that's okay.
That's okay.
We're going to make a new season of Spelling Bee in about a week.
How do you feel about that?
It's pretty exciting.
There's just so much work to do.
Holy frigging moly.
Um, so, but I've got Joseph Moore back.
So Joseph Moore and I have been writing together from the UK to New
Zealand for a show in Australia.
We've got a writer's room with Australians, but it can be a tricky time zone.
It's a nightmare to navigate.
So there's been a lot of time spent alone in a room, which is like my preferred mode of working.
You're at your best in the morning.
Joey's at his best.
That's so true.
And so now, though, we've got a week where we're going to be in a room together.
And that's exciting.
And then we get to sort of unveil all the... because
also we're in the part of the creative process where when you come up with the
new ideas in the games it's very funny and exciting and then you spend so long
like figuring out the mechanics and the sort of I mean there's jokes inside of
all of it but the nuts and bolts of making it work and you get bored and
then yeah the idea is not new to you and so you forget how exciting it was when
you cracked or how exciting it's gonna be to reveal it to people and see them interact with it so it's sort
of we're in at the dip right before that we spike up to fun excitement.
We're in the logistics phase of it's right. But we're getting close you know and life's good.
How about you? I mean we've both got our Adidas. Adidas? Adidas? Adidas.
Call it what you want.
It stands for all day I dream about.
You guessed it.
You've got such an old black cap head on.
It's got clear as a sponsor.
Sex.
All day I dream about sex.
I'm the horniest man alive.
Yes, I got given this cap by a friend of the podcast, Ryan Herron.
Yeah.
Because he knows I love the black caps and he saw it in a like a bargain bin at an op shop and he gave it to me that would be like early 90s or
before no no later than early 90s it's late 90s yeah yeah clear was clear I'm
assuming clear is mid to late 90s because it was a sponsor of the black caps it
was a telecommunications provider it hasn't existed for it like it's not even its derivatives exist anymore because then it was it was a telecommunications provider. It hasn't existed for it. It like, not even its derivatives exist anymore.
Cause then it was, it was Telstra, clear here for a bit.
And then that fell over.
I like the logo.
What I like about clear and Telstra clear
is that there are remnants throughout this country of them
because there's like, you know how you get the phone wire
like entry points for the exchanges under the grid.
It looks like a fire hydrant entrance.
Like the ones that are set under the pavement and it's got
a big metal grill and it says it says clear on it which hasn't existed it's
like finding a fossil like around the CBD. These are modern fossils. You are a
modern archaeologist. Yeah I want I actually I wanted to get... If you ever see
someone with a big broom it's Tim brushing the pavement for fossils.
Some people are like in the graveyard, you know, with a toothbrush respecting our fallen
veterans or something.
I'm like this corporate giant that once was, this T-Rex of yesteryears telecommunications
industry in New Zealand.
I wanted to get an Enron t-shirt because someone bought the trademark for Enron for like 200
New Zealand, 200 US dollars. I've the trademark for Enron for like 200 New Zealand 200 US dollars
I've seen people wearing Enron recently. Yeah, but then they've fucking
Launched a shit coin for which was probably the thing. Yeah
Does everything need to be a coin now fucking hell guys?
I still don't understand that stuff and I've fear of the conversation becoming boring and potentially political
We out. We out dog. We in though the mailbag
M-A-L-E
That's great
Sorry, I'm no it was actually great. This is what happens when both of us go on our phones at the same time
I was texting back Patrick Schwarzenegger saying, oh, sweet.
Stand up for your family.
We should get on that.
Should I find them?
There'll be a story.
Someone will have covered this.
Of course. The Patty Schwartz thing.
You find some correspondence.
I can't I can't Google news search Patty Schwartz because only we call him that.
No one else calls him that.
There's a lot of news about the white Lotus, which he's in.
I want his publicist is doing a good job.
Here we go.
Here we fucking go just Jared.com.
Why not?
Jack Schlossenberg claims cousin Patrick Schwarzenegger not publicly denouncing Robert F Kennedy Jr. Jack Schlossberg, I'm definitely not saying that right, is very publicly putting his cousin on
blast. Over the past few days 32 year old Jack, who is the grandson of President
JFK, has been very vocal on social media calling out RFK
Jr. over his views on abortion and chronic illness amid his Senate
confirmation hearings as he's nominated to become the head of Health and Human
Services. Jack is now taking aim at Patrick, age 31.
Patty's only 31. Believe it. They would have been fucking great friends when
they were kids. 32, 31. Kennedy cousins. Are you kidding me? Pallin palin around that's a nice little reality show the Kennedy cousins blah
blah blah Jack took to the comment section on the post writing at Patrick
Schwarzenegger now that you are now that you've invoked your family legacy and
President Kennedy do you support RFK jr. for his HHH secretary can't have it
both ways then he continued on his own
page since you've used President Kennedy's NIL name and law and likeness
name and likeness now I don't know as well as my grandmother's for a promo for
your next show as a member of the Kennedy family where do you stand on
RFK jr.'s nominate oh this is boring I wanted to find the bits we was calling Cheryl dry over and over again
that'll come in a different episode when I've done some research
old Cheryl

Details at Fizz.ca.
You'd be gutted, eh?
Your crazy husband's like, I'm going to run for president.
And you're like, okay, darling.
And then it falls over and you're like, fuck, what a relief.
I'm not going to have to get caught between all this.
And then he gets appointed,
he gets appointed as the health secretary.
One of the craziest that you know,
and then you're in the Senate sitting behind him
looking dry.
Yeah, man.
Hey I'm-
I really do wanna find it though.
Fair enough.
The New York Post has got a story.
Yeah. I googled,
news searched, Jack Schlossberg dry. Okay, maybe this isn't also a dead end. You
know what? It's a great lesson for me in not diverging from the purpose of what
we do here. Which is, I disagree, I disagree. It's nice to see you like this.
I've got one. Facebook, 7th of January this year.
Salutations, you frosty boys.
I'm currently criticizing for some friends of mine,
and I happen to notice a game on their shelf called Bunko.
B-U-N-C-O. I couldn't help but wonder if it brought any relation
to the preferred game of chance of the greatest listener bond actor
the world has ever known
I took a picture of it, but I don't see an option to attach it here
So I'll send along a link to its Wikipedia page for your viewing pleasure
Bunko now I'm trying to remember when we used to get lazy and beyond the pot. Yeah, what was his preferred?
Well, I am also trying to connect the dots on that. It's bad
I it's bad
It's bad for you guys because you guys will remember better because you were listening to it
but because we see that we don't remember it as good.
Bunko is a dice game with 12 or more players divided into groups of four trying to score points while taking turns rolling three dice in a
series of six rounds. A Bunko is achieved when a person rolls three of a kind and all three numbers match the round number
which is decided at the beginning of the round. Sounds pretty fun. That sounds real fun.
That sounds like shooting Dyson Allen.
I actually watched, on the flight back,
yesterday I watched this movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
with Robert Downey Jr.
and Val Kilmer.
And I'd seen it once like a long time ago.
It came out while I was still at high school.
I think I saw it not long after.
I remember thinking it was really entertaining.
Still is very entertaining.
Parts have aged very quickly, you know in the intervening whatever 19 years
But there's a line that I always remembered from the start of the movie that Robert Danny
Jr's character says which is he's at a party in Los Angeles and someone says what do you do?
He says I'm retired. Oh, he goes. I'm I invented dice when I was a kid and now I'm retired
And I remember thinking it's such a funny and cool thing to say and a crazy lie
And then I watched the movie and the line came up again. I was like, that's right
Does that feel like a Robert Downey Jr ad lib, I don't know it's sort of like I was watching it like the
The origin story for Iron Man. Yeah, that's not I was like like, he's just doing the same thing he does, you know.
He's charismatic and glib.
Him being him.
Yeah.
You know what I was thinking about yesterday?
It's fucking nuts that Van Wilder is like a billionaire now.
I didn't see, there's a lot I didn't see coming.
Yeah.
I didn't see that coming.
He's in the background of the news as well at the moment.
He is. Because, because of. Honestly, I don't know that coming he's in the background of the news as well at the moment yeah because I honestly I don't know I clicked like one
or two other links and now you want to hear some more about Blake Lively and
Justin Balboa really don't I really can't stretch this enough yeah I've heard
it's brutal way more than I want to hear de Dearest, now guy, this was sent to us yesterday.
Fucking check this out.
Dearest Mimtat and Boi Gontgomere,
the boys with the beautiful cheekbones.
Hey, someone's been listening.
I hope this missive finds you well.
I'm writing today to say that I have very much,
oh sorry, I am very much enjoying
good times and that I have a suggestion for the format.
I like the idea of the word of the day but I think that it can be improved by incorporating
some audience input.
Instead of having a random word picked by a website, what if instead you randomly picked
a word from a bank of listener submissions?
Maybe listeners would submit words on a Google form or some kind of dedicated email. To demonstrate my dedication to this format change, I will
make my own submission. Should I read the word or maybe use it?
You should just read it and then we can... It's architecture. Thank you for your time
gentlemen and thank you for all the laughs. Regards. I know we don't say names unless
they've given us permission, but the name is really cool. So I'm we don't say names unless they've given us permission
but the name is really cool so I'm just gonna say it Wolfgang Aldred damn
sounds like an author from maybe like the turn of the 19th century architecture
it's fun isn't it I watch architectural digest videos where celebrities show me their house.
Who's got the best one?
Liv Tyler's got a really interesting one.
Architecturally, I can't remember the details, but her energy I found incredible and fascinating.
She's sort of caught between being herself and being like in character or on.
Like it's a really interesting experience watching the video.
What's your name? Dakota Johnson?
Oh, yeah. She had a really funny.
Well, the minor fallout or detail afterwards is really funny.
Where she just made shit up.
She's like, these are limes. I love limes.
Yeah. And then afterwards, she's like, someone else put those in there.
Dave Batista has got a great one. There you go.
He's got immaculate style.
Well, it's always interesting seeing what people's,
you know, it is like, it's a great channel.
And then I start getting fed like,
just other interesting architectural marvels
or really amazing homes.
How about this obelisk?
Yes.
I see you like to live Tyler's kitchen.
How about a pyramid?
Yeah.
And then, you know, ultimately it's like, why don't you, here's a tour of Blake Lively's house while she's dealing with the legalese of the Justin Bell Donnie malpractice on set.
You know, that's the, um.
I would love to see her in her house trying to show me some piece of ceramic while fielding calls from lawyers and publicity people.
I feel, I mean, I feel badly for it.
She got rolled.
Anyway, here we go.
Jared Driscoll.
Rob's coming to town.
Oh, this is last year.
Rob's going to my hometown.
Should I go and experience hell?
And then a link to a video of Rob promoting himself.
And then we didn't write back, as is our one sometimes.
This is us writing back.
Six months later.
This is how we write back.
Hey boys, my wife and I went to the Blaze Pets
here in Richmond, Virginia for the first time
since the opening of 2017.
Halfway through the meal, my wife said,
man, this place has gone downhill.
I had to inform her that reason for the decline
is that they never followed through
with hashtag pay the boys.
So Paul is well Jared. I don't I mean my gauge on whether or not it's gone downhill. Thank you Jared is
We're talking about blaze blaze pizza
So I don't hear from them anymore. They're not like they were actually occupying space in the cultural conversation
They didn't um
Wasn't LeBron involved?
Yeah, but surely money.
LeBron's he's not talking about it.
Patty's not talking about it.
Now they're just like a Tim and Guy aren't talking about it.
Even even Tim and Guy aren't talking about it.
The boys with the great cheekbones, it's off their radar.
So who have you got left?
Some shit non-cheekbones spokesperson.
Everyone has cheekbones, Tim Well everyone has cheekbones Tim.
Oh that's true. But they're not always... yeah. Listen.
They're not always tight.
Blaze... I still think I have the URL blazepizza.co.nz. So I'm still waiting for their global expansion plans and that is my retirement scheme.
Fuck.
I think it's over.
I think it might be too actually.
I think it might be over. It might be over Go again. Give me one in this life you back quite a few horses and then some of the horses fall over
Break a leg and you must shoot them and they get turned into dog food. Yeah, I
Thought you were gonna pull up from that but you actually went darker
Well, the good news is I got that dog in me and it's a lot cheaper to buy than steak. Have we read this one before? I'm gonna read this tell me if
it's familiar. This is from a year ago almost to the day. Dearest of frosty
fellas season one episode 15 and a very uncharacteristically negative outburst
Tim drops the polite New Zealand veneer for a
second and I quote, Tim how shit is Arnie's son in every second that he is on screen? Guy,
Patrick Schwarzenegger, yeah. Tim, good god. Guy, he is a real dud. Tim, he should not be allowed
in front of the cameras because he can't do it. He can't do it. Ten years later, Patrick Schwarzenegger
was announced to have been cast in season three of the award-winning prestige HBO series The
White Lotus. Tim I'm gonna have to single you out here. Guy's been known to say a
thing or two about the Honorable Patty Schwartz but there are subtle undertones
of respect to Guy's relationship with Patty that I just don't see in you. Guy
is the follower. Tim the instigator. Tim, I constantly hear you talking about your fear
that it wouldn't shock you if Patty Schwartz was cancelled,
but I've never heard you optimistically speculate
about the potential for the opposite outcome.
What if Patty cured world hunger, earned a Nobel Prize,
won an Emmy?
So I issue you this challenge.
Are you going to tell me that the legendary Mike White
just made the first casting misstep of his career?
Or are you prepared to issue a humiliating public retraction?
Maybe embrace the tattoo on your butt,
assless chaps or something.
Maybe add a wiser, more experienced patty
to the other cheek.
When it is released,
which certainly may have already happened
by the time you read this email on the pod,
if you can, with a straight face, look into the camera and convincingly say into the mic
that you will stand by your initial assessment of Patty's acting skill potential.
I'll chuck the boys 100 USD.
I will concede, there is the possibility that Mike Wyatt heard a rumour that if you are
heading to Thailand you got a party with Patty.
But if you must admit that he does at least a serviceable job in the series I want to hear an apology on the pod if there
is no denying that he absolutely kills it and there is a ward buzz I want a
doubling down on the Patty tattoos I leave guy the option to opt in or opt
out of this wager wager sit wager say my name like you mean it. Jim Larimore from Cupertino, California.
Footnote. Do you want to read the footnote? I feel like I've been talking for a while.
I've loved this dispatch.
Uh, it's a very good email. Very good.
Footnote. Oh, the footnote is decent too. Long time listener, first time writer.
I was introduced to your podcast by a couple British Apple pickers in Napier.
At the tail end of a two month trip, I took to New Zealand on a quest to complete all nine great walks of New Zealand in a row.
After 52 and a half adventure filled days, I completed that awesome mission.
Still my coolest accomplishment.
This was right about as you were wrapping up the first season.
It turns out if you ever want podcast recommendations,-time Apple pickers to the right people to ask
In the time since their fateful trip
I've listened to the entire first season of your podcast six times usually while working on DIY home improvement projects
I feel as though we have read this but I'm loving it so much. I'm just gonna say it feels new to me
But I love it either way
I podcast six times, usually I work on DIY house improvement projects. I've built a deck for my house, a pergola, made a flagstone path, learned how to lay
bricks and rebuild a collapsing brick planter box, painted my entire house, remodeled the
interior bedrooms, built five retaining walls, earned an entire bachelor's of nursing degree
from scratch.
And when I look at all these things I've built, I see sweat, tears and a lot of of hard work But I also see the frosty fellas who were there keeping up morale during all of it
I want to thank you very much for that all your blood sweat and tears really was not without purpose and just so this doesn't
seem like I'm just some Gaimon fanboy trying to drive a wedge between the boys
I want to tell you that Tim that did Titanic Singers one of the greatest podcasts ever created my cousin Cody
Who's also waiting for a Patty Schwartz related response to his email.
And I are obsessed with it. I think we've both listened to that entire series six or seven times now.
Oh wow. Also on a tech geek level, Tim, you and I are kindred spirits.
I got a whiff that maybe you built an NAS during the pandemic.
Oh, we have read this. I had done the exact same thing around the same exact time.
I was just swore off the streaming services just for it sounded like you did too.
So I assume you set up a Plex server for
yourself I tried and I thought you haven't you should out of curiosity did
you go true Nass or unraid for your Nass true Nass thanks for asking I what if
for not I mean this so I'm so sorry I think we have read this yeah but fuck
they're not all written that well yeah Jim Laramore I mean but I don't remember
that the they're coming at me I don remember. I remember vaguely someone coming at you over it.
It's been sitting in the inbox for a year.
So it's very.
That's like special treatment.
And I'm glad I have into an email of that caliber.
Shittier.
First name again?
Jim. Jim Laramore.
Great name.
Legendary.
And we love our seasonal workers.
What a legend for doing all nine great walks of New Zealand. It was something I would love to do.
I did one of them this summer, the Rootburn.
And it was stunning.
32 and a half kilometres.
My favourite one that I've done so far.
Thanks for asking.
The Huananui River, which ironically is a great walk, but...
Is it a great walk?
Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure it is.
So I remember thinking it's funny that this is a great walk.
You drift down it in a little boat. It can't be a great walk? Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure it is. So I remember thinking, it's funny that this is a great walk. You drift down in a little boat.
It can't be a great walk.
I think it is.
I think it is.
We're going to leave you on that mystery.
Thank you so much to everyone for writing.
We love you.
We love you.
Hey, this is important.
We love you.
And I guess when the White Lotus comes out,
we will have a responsibility to watch that.
So that we can then see whether or not Tim will be issuing an apology.
And I'm prepared to do so.
What I'm imagining, and this is me just taking what Jim said and run with it.
If you think that Patrick Schwarzenegger turns it in, in spite of whatever happens
with the cousin and the RFK admonishment, if you think he turns in a good acting
performance, I'm visualizing you lying face down on a,
like on a, it looks like a bed, but it's actually, it's at a tattoo parlor.
You're lying face down, the camera's close to your face.
So I'm Tim Batt and I'd like to issue an apology to Patrick Schwarzenegger for ever doubting
his acting abilities.
And then the camera pulls out and we see your other leg or cheek being inked with, as suggested
by Jim, an older and wiser
I like that because I've even got like a visual in my head of what it would be
Patty Schwartz is beautiful face in the middle and like a white lotus flower behind him as sort of oh wow the background
So nice listen and then in quotation marks this could happen. I love our
Like a speech bubble coming out. You're getting very silly now, Guy. You're actually getting very silly.
Sorry, won't happen again.
