Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody and welcome to Good Times. The worst idea of all time presents Good Times. Sponsored by Mosh. With Guy Mogame and Tim Batt. Sponsored by Mosh. We think. We think it's sponsored by Mosh. Have you ordered any?
Starting point is 00:00:33 Not yet, I haven't had a moment to myself to order some Mosh. Have you reached out to Patty? No, not recently. I have in the past, I have historically. Do you know what? I'll do it right now. Okay. I'm going to send him a DM right now.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Fantastic. What should I say? We're getting in touch with our friend Patrick Schwarzenegger, which if you're not sort of familiar with the history of Timbo and Guy Guy, he's a guy who is tattooed on our bodies because when we did our podcast a long time ago in the first year of it we got invited to go to a cinema to do an event in front of all of our fans but we had to figure out how to pay to get there and stay in Los Angeles for a couple of days and so we threw it over to our wonderful wonderful fans and listeners some of our listeners aren't fans they're just
Starting point is 00:01:24 listeners yeah it's important for me to shout them out. It's a huge differentiation. And we said, listen guys, we need a little bit of money, actually quite a lot. And if you can give us enough to go to Los Angeles and come home again at the end, we'll get tattoos and pass you a short. We'll even spend some of the money on tattoos.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And we did. We showed him, He freaked out. He was like, tell me these aren't real. He kind of likes it anyway. He took it pretty well. The last time we messaged. We've never met him. And since it's happened, his career has been going great. Our message log, cause he follows me on Twitter, right? He only follows 565 people. Timbo's not one of them. It's a small amount. And I'd say I'm hanging in there by a thread. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Occasionally, if I retweet something funny, he'll get involved. He never talks to me directly. Mm hmm. I retweet some of his stuff. I don't think he notices. Or I don't know, you know, like, sometimes I'm worried he thinks I'm doing it ironically. I'd want to think he's too busy. Last time we messaged, last time I messaged him November 30 2017 at in New Zealand time
Starting point is 00:02:35 255 a.m. Just said 2017 that is correct. That is seven years ago So I messaged him hey Patrick congrats on the long road home man haven't got to see it yet But the reviews and trailers have looked amazing. It's a ridiculously long shot I know but if you're in LA this Friday December 1 and want to receive the hottest heroes welcome imaginable my friend Tim and I are doing the last ever episode of our podcast and that turned out to be wrong and we hoe and you showed up for even one minute you'd send our entire audience into pandemonium. Let me know I hope you're well. December 6 2017 hey man just saw this and was out of town anyways, but down for shows later. What's your show? Radio silence since then.
Starting point is 00:03:11 You would, that sounds like you owe him a reply. I do. And I don't think there's anything supremely unusual about it coming seven or eight years later. So we're going to write this now? I think I should just, or do you want to do a proper version of this when? I think I should just- Or do you wanna do a proper version of this when you can think and craft it?
Starting point is 00:03:28 I think we should just shoot him a quick message now. I think we should too. I'll hold your microphone. Okay, I wanna say, howdy Patrick. Howdy's great, it's a really strong start and I think it gets everything off to the right foot. Love and life down in New Zealand. Yeah, it's, Yep, that's good.

Love and life down in New Zealand. Hope you are also thriving. Hope you're also thriving. And then I'm going to cut straight to business. I'm not going to say can we get sponsored.

Starting point is 00:06:27 Cool. Now we wait. Now we wait. I mean, what is there to do but wait? Well, I'll tell you what there is to do. And that is play one of our fantastic games. Okay. Good times.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And the game we're going to play today, I would like to credit as you did in the last episode, the maker of this game. But I think they probably lived 10,000 years ago because this is the original game and the game is guy 20 questions. I'm thinking of something or one and you have to figure out what it is. Go. Are you a person? No. Are you a living thing? No. Do you exist in the real world? Yes. Are you available in New Zealand? Yes. Do I
Starting point is 00:07:17 have to pay for you? Generally. Oh not, hold on, no, aren't they? Yeah. No. I don't have to... That's five questions so far. It's not a person available in New Zealand. I don't have to pay for you. Do you? And it's not a living thing. Correct. Okay. Are you a product?
Starting point is 00:07:46 No. Are you a product? No. Are you an experience? No. You're not a product or an experience. Can I physically see you? Yeah. Do I come across you in my day to day life? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:08:02 And you're not alive. Can I ask an unrelated question to the 20 questions? Sure, we're up to question. Maybe ask your 10th one because then we're midway. Okay. And then you can... I might come across you in my day to day life and I don't need to pay to use you. And you're not. Well, that wasn't the question you asked. Do I have to buy you? Do I have to pay money for you?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, yeah, that was the question you asked. I mean, is this something that has been around the entire time I've been alive? Yeah. Okay. We're up to 10 now. We're at the midway point. Now, do you want to have a chat about something? When you take fruit off of a tree, is the fruit alive?
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yes. Yeah, it is. Yep. Is it? Yeah. When I have a banana, I killing the bananas I eat? Well I don't know what the line is but if you've just plucked it off a tree, that's alive. Okay so it's not fruit.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Got it. This game is challenging and I'll tell you why. Go on. Traditionally played in non time pressurized environments. True enough. I feel like you're not adding a real race element to it. I'm working pretty hard to keep the ball in my pocket? Sometimes. Okay. I mean, generally, yes. Can I put you in my mouth?
Starting point is 00:09:36 Yeah. I wouldn't though. I get the sense I wouldn't. I mean, is it a what I don't pay for it either. Your line of questioning. Is it sex? No, but great question. Yeah, good to get it on the record. And it's been, you know, it fits all of it. It's an experience, I guess. Imagine if it was sex.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Well, I just did imagine it was sex. So it's not. That's 13 questions down. You've got seven to go. Son of a gun. Can you tell me a little bit about what I've said so far? Yeah, I can. So you asked, whatever you asked. It's not alive.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Yeah. You asked, do I have to pay for it? Yeah. It's not an experience. The answer is not always. I can fit it in my pocket. Like sometimes. Sometimes I can fit it in my pocket.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. Is it inflatable? No. Oh, no, no, no. Sometimes in that way. It's supposed to be like yes, no. Thing. Although, I'm also trying to remember how 20 questions works.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I think it's just a one word answer rather than yes No, is that right that I have to deliver back to you? I think I know it isn't it's yes. No, you're yes No, you you see that. Yes. No, I'm the wizard of this game. You're the master of your destiny You've got seven questions left. I will answer. Yes. No to any questions you have for me. Okay I'm sorry. Am I in your am I am I going to go me and Timbats top five friends in the world? Yes. I the reason I thought about this so hard as I was trying to think about relates to what we're doing. It doesn't. It doesn't. Yeah. You've been to question for a good cause.
Starting point is 00:11:20 That's awesome. Am I in Timbats top four friends in the world? That's awesome. Am I and Timbats top four friends in the world? Yes. Okay. Now we're getting into interesting territory. Okay. Am I and Timbats top three friends in the world? I reckon. Okay. I know who my running mate is here. I'm in the top three.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I think so. I don't... You don't quantify friends like this usually. No, no. Yeah, you're outside... And also this. You're outside your comfort zone. Stop counting these against your questions. These are just bonus questions? Well, they're wholly unrelated to the task at hand. For you maybe. I'm on a mission here. Is this going to help you determine the thing I'm thinking of?
Starting point is 00:12:02 Yes. Okay. Well then in that case I think you've got three questions remaining. Okay. Is it lint? No but now we're getting somewhere. Is it a button? No. One question. Okay. Am I in your top two friends in the world? I reckon. Okay wow. Amethyst. Oh the crystal? Uh, I reckon. Okay. Wow. Amethyst. Oh, the crystal. Yeah. Fuck you. Why?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Cause I was never going to get it. You were because here's our 20 questions generally worked. Am I animal, mineral or plant? Those are the first three questions. And then you started. That's how you start that game. And then in my head, I was so unimaginative that I went, oh, I remember how this game starts. I'll pick a mineral. Well, you're playing with a guy who didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Damn. You go animal, mineral, plant, I think. And mineral, I think, just means something that isn't alive. It doesn't have to be quite so literal. And then if it's a person, you start going are they alive or dead? Yeah. Then you get into gender questions which is tricky than it used to be. I thought lint was a pretty good question. I thought lint was a fantastic question because you finally started taking some swings.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Well. I mentioned if it was lint. It's a shame I ran out of questions before I found out who your best friend in the world is. Ces Levine. Thanks for random word generator. The word today is drop. Drop. What do you think when you hear drop? I think it's a really important word to keep in your life because too often we're all about accumulating things and actually the secret to happiness and fulfillment
Starting point is 00:13:38 is dropping as much as you can. Really? Get it out of here. You say that but you're a man who carries a lot of responsibility. You take a lot of- I mean things, objects. Oh, I also have too many of those.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Too many objects? Yes, but it works for both, I guess. Do you do an inventory? Do you stock take and cull? This garage is full of stuff, and I've been too busy, but my intention is to just get rid of as much. How are you gonna get rid of it?
Starting point is 00:14:01 Sell it, dump it? Donate and- Put it on the bin? Sell some stuff Donate and bin. The prospect of spring cleaning or doing it, you know, in my life, Chelsea loves to be very thorough. She likes to interrogate the all of the items and say this, what's this? Does this bring me joy? And yeah, I never want to do that. So? So the idea of spring cleaning feels weird. So you just hold on to things? No, I don't. I just try not to, you know, I just do it as I go.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I don't set up for a day to be like, I'm going to smash through this. Yeah. How do you feel about all that? I think you did the right one. You like it like I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's probably why we're such good friends. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Can I tell you something I really like? Go on. In cricket, if you go to the game, you know, it's a really, they think it's the gentleman's game. It's not. It's built on an incredible foundation of sledging, shit talking, amongst the players from different teams, of course, but also as a fan. As a New Zealand fan we have a reputation for being incredibly welcoming and quite generous. The Australians have a reputation for being really ruthless and rude. I'd say the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. When the Australians visit we can be pretty rude to the Australians and I'm okay with that.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Not when you cross the line but I'm okay with it if it's all in the spirit to the Australians. And I'm okay with that. Not when you cross the line, but I'm okay with it if it's all in the spirit of the game. Could you just- Just for my reference and other listeners who don't watch cricket, could you give an example of like how intense is the sledging that goes on? What would be a typical comedy? Do you know, I remember when I was a,
Starting point is 00:15:41 well, when I was a kid, I'd say I must have been 11 or 12, there was an Australian opening batsman called Michael Kasperovic. I'm sure that's his name. And he was playing at One Day International at Jade Stadium, which was the stadium in Christchurch. And this is the golden era of Australian cricket. So the wicketkeeper was Adam Gilchrist, who kind of redefined the role of wicketkeeper batsman. This is it's too much detail But basically his average so the way do you figure out your average you accumulate runs when you're a batsman in cricket And so if you score 50 runs you play one game you score 50 runs your average would be 50 if you score if you play two games and you score 50 runs in one game and
Starting point is 00:16:20 10 runs in the next game then your average would be 30 and so on and so forth. If you get not out, it can expand a lot. But anyway, he was the opening batsman. He must've played one game and he got a duck, which is you get out for zero. And he was fielding on the outfield in front of us. It would have been 12 or 13. And the whole game, we were just going to Michael Kasperovitch,
Starting point is 00:16:40 hey Kasperovitch, show us your average. What's your batting average, Michael Kasperovitch? Tell us your average. And he was ignoring it, Michael Kasperovitch? Tell us your average. And he was ignoring it, ignoring it, ignoring it, trying not to get it in. And we don't really know how to trash talk properly. Like we're 12 and this is a grown man. And so I think he's also in a bit of a challenging position
Starting point is 00:16:57 where it's like, you can't really scold these kids. And technically I think it's on the funny side of sledging-ish. Like it's really ridiculous and pedantic. But anyway, they get a wicket and they all run into the middle and we've been going at him for probably an hour or so. And he's we see him and he's talking to the other guys on his team and then he points over to where we're sitting in the stand and then the team starts looking over at us. And then I cannot be misremembering this.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I need to verify it with Jono, probably one of my top, you know, five friends in the world. Adam Gilchrist takes off his wicker-keeping glove and pulls the fingers at us. And we were stoked! Yeah! It was a big moment for us. You got acknowledged by an international athlete. Yeah, for shit-talking. That's so cool. When you were 12.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah. You would have been riding high off that for weeks, months. It was a big moment. Similarly when we played the Australians at the round robin of the One Day World Cup in Auckland at Eden Park. It was a huge game. When New Zealand and Australia coast to the World Cup, it was one of the greatest games of cricket that's ever been played, particularly at Eden Park. We were on really good form. We rolled England, Australia were playing. They always beat us. They big brother us. They bully us. We are rolling through the Australia. Australia's batting first and we're rolling through them. They're on like, you know, 30 for five or something. Really, really trash numbers, you know. And the chant goes up because we just rolled England.
Starting point is 00:18:19 The chant, I started this. This goes around the whole stadium along the traditional, you know, The chant, I started this, this goes around the whole stadium, along the traditional, you know, I get, you're worse than England. And New Zealand cricket fans are not arrogant because we're constantly, you know, being humbled. But the whole stadium is riding high. We're feeling ourselves. The whole stadium is giving it your worse than England. Unbelievable. You know, like unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:18:43 That's the sort of sledging I think it's it's magic to cricket. You know, like unbelievable. That's the sort of sledging. I think it's, it's magic to cricket. You know, I'm sure this happens in other sports, but starting a chant in a packed stadium, you get what all those autocratic leaders get high on. I got a shout out in the coverage the next day, Stephen Fleming, former black caps captain said, I've never seen a New Zealand cricket crowd like that. Anyway, this is all around about, this is just context for, you know, cricket and the fandom and stuff. So there's a lot, you know, people can cross it in any sport. People can, you know, people who lose their head, they lose their cool. The sport becomes bigger than they
Starting point is 00:19:15 are, bigger than their experience of life. And they can say some awful stuff. But one of my favourite details that happens in cricket, it's in New Zealand, I'm sure it happens around the world, but I've only experienced this in New Zealand, is when the opposite team are fielding, like if they drop a catch, obviously you're going to let them hear about it, you go, you suck shit, I can't believe you dropped that catch, you know, I could have caught that. But the DJ, the stadium DJ, who I'm pretty sure does all the games, when an opposing cricketer drops a catch, drop, yes, they will play Drops a Catch. Drop? Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:43 They will play Toot in the Maytales, Pressure Drop, the Reggae song. They'll play it every time. And I just think that's so class that there's a guy in a booth being paid by the stadium who's playing a song which is like, I said pressure drop, you know, like it's just a nice little, it's just a good little petty level of acceptable shit talking. Yeah, that's built into the whole professional apparatus. And so when I see the word drop, when I think of the word drop, it stirs in me this like, that, the spirit of that humour is, I love it.
Starting point is 00:20:18 It's alive to me. I love sports so much. I don't watch shows, I've realised, because I'm just looking for. I don't watch shows I've realized because I'm just looking for a live sport to watch. That's fine, embrace that. Become an athlete. I've learned to. I'm not, I've missed the window.
Starting point is 00:20:34 No, no, no, do it now. Become an athlete. I think about it, you see a lot of dad- How could it be with this story, B? You see a lot of dads, they have a new kid. And then they're like, do you know what I've always wanted to do? Train for a marathon. It's crazy. It only occurred to you once you had an infant in your house,
Starting point is 00:20:53 that what you want to do is train for something by leaving the house for hours at a time. Well, I think you've solved the mystery there, guy. I wanted, I was, I asked you, I wanted to do a half marathon and you said, don't do it. Oh, this does worry about your knees. I feel like you were fishing. You were fishing for a reason to shut it down. I genuinely was thinking of your knees. Thank you. How you live your home life, it's none of my business.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Hey, it's time to discover, I think the lost art of the conversation, right? Oh, the forgotten art of the phone call. Yeah. Well, let's have a go. So here's the thing. Here's the thing, everybody. We talked a lot about cricket just then. I hate texting.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yeah. I love texting while driving. It helps me think. I hate texting generally. I just think it's inefficient. And I have a yearning. I feel, I don't know if you feel this. Sometimes I'll get a date of myself and I won't see anyone, which is my own fault. But I just, I feel there's a lack of connection, interpersonal connection.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And often the solve will be I'll go through my phone book and I'll just see if there's anyone I haven't spoken to on the phone who I'd like to talk to for a while. That's old school. And I just call them up. Yeah. And I just have a chat. Yeah. I often will call people while driving as well. Yep.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I just think, you know, I've got friends, some of my best friends in the world live in different countries, different time zones. And I never talk to, I never text them. I'm never going to deeply catch up with them over text. But you, there are many, many times when there's an overlap between when they'd be chilling and when I'd be chilling and you call them up and you can talk for an hour, two hours, can fill your cup right up. No one's doing this. I used to have a nice thing going where for me and a mate of mine, whenever either one of us would hear, come on Eileen, we would have to rank the other one.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I've been around, I've seen that song come on and you've freaked out. You dropped everything. I have to call Rory? Yeah. Now he'd be in the top two. Rory? He'd be in the top three. I don't think he'd be in the top two.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Damn. There's no substitute for time. Rory is such a good mate. I've known him for so long. It's not what I'm hearing. The ranking thing is ugly. Yeah, it's horrible. Yeah, Rory's a great guy.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I've met Rory. He's awesome. I've met his wife. No. Am I saying that correctly? No, you're not. Fiance? Are we gonna do the-
Starting point is 00:23:22 Partner? The call? Because otherwise, we're just to run out of time. Wow. Time is a construct. Do you use the Gregorian calendar? Yeah, try to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 We're going to need to use your phone. Yep. Basically, this is a chance for us to call up a friend and just shoot the shit on the phone the way it was meant to be. This is going to be incredible for me because I, I don't like phone calls very much. Really? Do you know why? Do you know who you're calling?
Starting point is 00:23:52 I don't have their number. I don't think. It's not who you think. Oh, punch a number in. I know. I probably don't have. You got it. Have I got that?
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah. Okay. Oh, now I don't even know who we're calling so this is exciting for me also that is exciting a nice surprise is that ringing in your ears yeah I can hear that now it suddenly feels like this is your life and it's gonna be gorgeous oh guess again bitch it's guy do you think I'm gorgeous as well? Yeah, I think you're both gorgeous boys.
Starting point is 00:24:28 That's so nice. Eli, it's a delight to talk to you. I didn't pick Eli's voice from the thing. Oh really? Hey Eli, you're on a podcast right now. We have to legally say that. We don't have to tell him anything. Right up top. We could be calling him because we just want to catch up.
Starting point is 00:24:42 We were just talking together and we want to talk to Eli. If you record someone, you should tell them this. What are you afraid of? Like if you tell me I'm on a podcast, what am I going to do? Just start straight up killing probably quite likely. No, I think it was more likely because last time I called you, you said, here are my top 10 favorite slurs. So this is to protect you, which is a great way to pick up a phone call.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah, especially because your phone ID was blocked. Yeah, I always call up with my user ID block. Is that how you answer the phone all the time, Eli? Not always the top 10. Sometimes the top 100 if I've got more time on my hand. I can hear vehicles. What are you doing? I'm walking down the beautiful Asquith Street or road. Actually, I don't know if it's a street or road.
Starting point is 00:25:29 My sister has a train station. She's here from Madrid, Spain. Oh my God. Your sister lives in Madrid? Yeah. Isn't that cool? That is cool. How many siblings do you have? Four. Is this one the author?
Starting point is 00:25:46 No, this one is a painter. If you can believe that. What is in the Matthewsons jeans? I don't know man. Are all of you queer? I've got to ask the question everyone's wondering. You can answer that or not. I would say no, but we all look like we could be.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Does everyone look like they could be queer? I don't know about you two gorgeous boys. I like that we got a secret go around of gorgeous. You don't think I could S&D? They really gassed me up. I don't recommend, I don't reckon at all. Yeah, well, look, there's a huge 35 year body of evidence to suggest that you're right.
