The Music Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of Good Times, the worst idea of all time. Doing Good Times with me Guy Montgomery and him Tim Babb. Tim, it's singlet season. Talk to me about how it feels to finally let those beasts run wild. So fucking good. That's Eyeliner with Los Angeles, the song that should have opened the 2024 Olympics in my humble opinion. What about this? Yeah. 2020 and Olympics. Tell me about them. Where are they? Los Angeles. Are they? Yeah. Oh, it's too perfect. Yeah. 2020 and Olympics. Tell me about them. Where are they? Los Angeles. Are they? Yeah. Oh, it's too perfect. Yeah. That's a freebie right there. Holy shit. That'd be good. Actually, speaking of the Olympics, when they were on my sister, Annie, you know, my I've got a sister,

I've got two, but you know, one of them, Annie, well, you know, the other one, Alice. Yeah. But Annie sent me a text. It's a fun, it's sort of, funny enough actually in this episode I'm wearing the Olympic, the Japanese football team's Olympic jersey. Is that what that is? That's what this is. It looks cool as hell. Yeah it is cool. It's a great emblem. It's got what looks like a griffin on the front of it. It's good shit man. A mythological beast. So. But I think it's actually just a bird. the question that was asked by my sister Annie was

If you had to do a sport and this is the question I put to you now Tim Yeah, you had to do a sport and love questions on the show if you had to do a sport at the Olympics Yes, and not come last. Yep. What would it be? Now you get one full Olympic cycle to train. Middle distance running. Anything you wouldn't come last? Oh, I don't know. The goal is... So I've got four years. You've got four years.

I think my best shot is middle distance running. I just couldn't disagree more. Okay, go. I just think you would get fucking... Dude, it's the fucking Olympics. Yeah, I know. You're gonna struggle in everything. You'll get destroyed in everything. But middle distance running is...

Four years isn't enough time to... What the fuck could I pull off in four years? Archery springs to mind. Oh, yeah? Something that requires more precise... Something that you can age into. You're past your prime as a potential. My eyes aren't good enough for archery.

Well then you're out of shooting too. Well good thing I didn't pick shooting, good thing I picked middle distance running. What about, I've always thought right, decathlon. Because you're getting in. You're getting in. You're getting harder? You're getting an average of skills though,

like I don't know, you get into decathlon because you're not the best at anything, but you're kind of all right at a lot of things. That feels like a bit of me. No, I can't have this conversation with you. A B average across the board and 10 events. It's not that they're bad at everything. I wouldn't get bored. I get so bored at training in one event

but if I was doing decathlon it's like Monday I'm doing shooting, Tuesday Shooting is not in decathlon. Is it not? No. I honestly thought it was. Shooting is not in decathlon and you just said you've got bad eyes. Yeah for archery

Shooting is like archery. I'm saying it's one-tenth of the event In that case, I can get it. I can average it across the other. Well, I know that now It's like Javelin pole vault hundred meters triple jump. I Think discus is in there. Okay, that's that's weird. Discus should not be in there. It's track and field Why shouldn't discus be in there? It feels wrong. Doesn't feel right. But I guess it's the cousin of Javelin.

I regret asking this question to you. You've got it all wrong. Um, all right, guy. Why don't you tell me what sport I should do for four years to have my best shot at the 2028 LA Olympics? I told you it's archery. Oh, really? Yes. You think so?

Or shooting. I don't think, do you think- Table tennis? Or shooting. I don't think... Do you think... Table tennis? No way. Fuck off table tennis. I think Olympic table tennis should be played in a garage. God no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be great.

I don't think it should be in a big room. I think it should genuinely be in a garage. And the crowd should be crowded around you standing. And there should be like slightly obstructed movement on one side of the table for one player. Yes That's what I think you're up against a wall and you rock off who's gonna take the wall side first. I would you want be Well, it's an impossible question is it because we're gonna come last and everything but I You asked the fucking question. I took a run at it and you just slid through and then I put it back on you He's like wow, it's actually pretty hard. Yeah. Take a fucking punt.

Give me a chance. What event would you pick? Give me a chance to talk. I'm qualifying the answer. I'm not just fucking choosing middle distance running like some fucking moron. Archery wouldn't work. I don't think I could possess the upper body strength to be. But you've got the leg strength and the cardio and the fitness to be a middle

distance runner. Four years I could get there. What's your what's your distance? What do you mean? Well middle distance is vague. What are they? What are the options? I'm gonna give you I'm gonna go 800 up. 800? Oh are they that short? 1500. Oh man. 3k steeplechase. That's 10k. 10k is kind of... Do you know how fast they run 10k they go like three minute case or something even faster really yeah wow they just spread its sprint but it's just longer yeah they're just sprinting for longer yeah there's walking Olympic walking they are they're walking sub 4k's as well

walking weirdly looks really hard to me like a light speed yeah I'm picking Olympic wall yeah you know it uncomfortable. It looks like they all exercise for the first time the day before and their bodies are sore and they're aching. It's just, it's because you're trying to go, there's something about the push and pull of it. You're trying to go as fast as possible, but you are locked into an activity which by its very definition is slower than the thing your body wants to do. It's tough to possess breakaways but you what I watched the walking when the Olympics were on and it was there was no breakouts and I was thinking to myself do you know if someone could just figure out how to run yeah they'd really stretch the lead out here. My one? Yes love to hear it.

100 meter 100 meter heats. There was a guy there was a a guy whose PV was like 13 seconds. And I was like, I ran 100 meter heats. So this is what like to qualify you for the 100 meter sprint. You're at the Olympics, because every country, every country puts forward a representative. So what do the heats do? The heats are, the heats are all of the qualifiers from the countries around the world race each other and then the top, I can't remember what number it is, say three from each heat automatic qualifiers. And someone had like a 12.9 second or something PB. That would be so devastating.

And I reckon I beat that. If I remember correctly in year 13, I could outrun that. 12.9 seconds though, do you think something went wrong? Like is that? No, that's, that's their person. That's when they're lining up, they show the athletes and they show their best time and that's the time. Yo. I thought if I trained for four years, I mean, my body's had it now for, you

know, to be in Olympia, I've let go of that dream. Hey, and by the way, fuck you. It's really, um, It's good. It's a good energy. This is what happens when you, I'm in a singlet and you're in a fucking Olympic sports top. This is singlet season. This is what it's about, man. We're at each other's throats.

We're on the basketball court. Do you know where the Olympics are after Los Angeles? We're throwing tin. What? Where? Brisbane. You want to talk about singlets? Brisbane, big singlet town. 2032, the world is engulfed in flames.

We decided to put the Olympics in an already abnormally hot coastal city. That's right. It's not coastal. One of the greatest disappointments. Yeah, it's on a river. Oh, man. It's on a river full of bull sharks. Is that good or bad, do we think? That it's not coastal?

Yeah. Feels bad in the context of where climate change is gonna be in 10 years. Better to not be coastal than, Paris isn't coastal. True, but it's 2024 right now. Everywhere will be coastal. Did you know the great thing? Can only get better.

Everywhere will be coastal. Yeah. And that's gonna be nice. I want it to be good. That's going to be great. Life's a beach, dig it. Today's episode is brought to you by the word, Misery.

Perfect. You and I at each other's throats, Misery. I have read a book called Misery. Really? By Stephen King. If I'm not mistaken, it's the book where an author is in a winter road crash. He slides off the road and is taken in by a super fan, a woman who is purportedly looking after him, but it turns out as a super fan.

The author is retired and the super fan is looking after him, but it turns out as a super fan, the author is retired and the super fan is looking after him, but keeps poisoning him, like is holding him captive and says, I'm not gonna let you out until you write another book. And the author is incapacitated and sort of slowly mentally figuring out that they are being held prisoner. And have to try and figure out an escape.

It sounds very autobiographical of like Stephen King's worst fear. Yeah. And does it transpire that the person had set up the road crash? No. Oh really? It's just cosmo-capitalist. Yeah, it was adapted into a movie.

Mm-hmm. Starring, I want to say, Kathleen Turner? Why not? She's a great actor. Kathy Bates. I've looked it up, It was Kathy Bates. Also a great actor. And James Caan. Anyway, incredible book. Christine? No. Also Stephen King. Yeah, that would be a fun one to read. Cause that was sort of the famous height of his coke binge, apparently.

It's got a car that comes to life. Like that'd be a fun one to read. I forgot about that. Do you know, I've got to get the name of it. Chelsea's mum, a very talented, front running New Zealand filmmaker, made an incredible movie about a car, a haunted car that we watched. And Tarantino once said it was one of his favorite movies. Holy shit. And it's called, I cannot for the fucking life of me remember the name of it right now. You've got a computer in front of you.

Am I allowed to do that? I don't want you to beat yourself up. I'm having a hard time. Someone was really coming. I, to be fair, I was coming at you. Yeah, it's all good man. When I start talking to Gaylene Preston, one of the first suggested searches by Google was Gaylene Preston daughter. Google's got your number.

If you only knew. Mr. Wrong. Mr. Wrong is a 1985 New Zealand horror film directed by Gaylene Preston. Making movies so, so hard. Synopsis, Meg buys a Jaguar car, unaware that the previous owner was murdered and the vehicle's haunted. There you go. Galen and Stephen King were on the same wave. Can I ask you a question, Guy?

When's the last time I experienced misery? I was gonna ask you if you believed in ghosts, but we can go with that. I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in getting spooked in the heebie-jeebies. Do you think there's anything metaphysical about that experience? Or do you think it's just people wicking out and feeling a bit... I think the imagination is inherently metaphysical. I think what the imagination is capable of creating for people is greater than the reality

we're living in. And especially at night, in a new environment or an environment where you sort of your brain is left to wonder, wonder and wonder. I think we are all capable of creating sort of metaphysical moments for ourselves. This answer feels very postmodern to me. It's just, this is genuinely what I think. I've not thought about it before, but I also feel honestly, can I be honest with you? Breaking inside of my answer?

Sure. Feels like I'm crushing it. 100%. I totally agree with you. It was a beautiful answer. What do you think? Do I believe in ghosts? I think probably not in, no, I don't believe in ghosts.

Do you believe in getting the heebie jeebies? I think I want to believe in ghosts. I think that's the problem here. I think I want to, but I don't. But you just don't? No. Heebie jeebies. Do you believe in those? Do you believe in getting spooked? You know, Ian, who's helped us film a few things like podcast in a tree,

he's like a paranormal investigator. He goes around and tries to film ghosts, which I think is a cool way to spend your time. It's a great hobby. No, what you would just say you think, but you were just saying you don't believe that they exist. Yeah, but it's a cool thing to pursue. What if I'm wrong? And what if he finds out? That'd be awesome. Yeah, that would be cool.

I do think there's a lot of things we don't understand. Yeah. You and I. Just you and I. Yeah. Everyone else has got it all figured out. We didn't even understand the legal system in our last episode. No, we didn't.

And we don't understand how to get a reply to Patrick fucking Schwartz. And I ain't gotta tell you that right now. We also couldn't conduct a phone call and it's making me miserable. Well, the last time I experienced genuine misery was something I'm not going to get into on the episode. That's fair.

It was in my personal life. Sure. And it wasn't, it was, you know, it just, it was a challenging time. Misery is a very specific kind of bad, isn't it? And by the way, my personal life is all groovy, just if anyone's curious, but there has been misery inside of it. Yeah. It would be almost, not disturbing. It's slightly worrying but there has been misery inside of it. Yeah. It would be almost, um, not disturbing.

It's slightly worrying if there was no misery to be had at this point. What are you 35? It's a powerful word though, isn't it? Misery. Yeah, it is. There's a depth of bad feeling. Misery. My, a miser is someone who is, um is tight with money. I understand.

If you're miserly. Yeah, if you're miserly, which is it's similar to misery, isn't it? There's an L. This difference between misery and miserly is one L. Do you think it comes from the same place? Same etymology? I had to say, because you know what always confused me? I would love to hear it. If you're thrifty, it means you're tight. But if you're a spend thrrift, it means you spend.

Great point. What's going on there? I don't know. Thrift is having it both ways. Cause if you go thrifting, right? You're shopping. Are you bringing in my segment right now? Yes.

It's the forgotten art of the phone call. After a failed phone call in our last episode it's exciting to at least hear a phone ringing. Yeah we've got a second attempt. Hello, Abby speaking. Oh my god, Abby howls as I live and breathe, how the bloody heck are you? You've got Tim and or Guy. Oh my gosh. The beautiful ways. I'm lovely. I'm lovely. You're I don't know if Guy warned you this might happen, but you're a guest on our podcast.

And can I say that the first person we had on for the segment was Eli and called us gorgeous boys. You've just, you know, I'm prompted called us beautiful boys. I'm I'm gassed up. I'm so gassed up. What are you up to? Oh yeah. That, um, it makes you just making a bit of lunch and I feel really proud of myself because it's very healthy. What are you making? I've got some quinoa and then I've got an avocado and I chop it

up and I've got some red cabbage. Can you believe that? That's vegetable. Are those the three ingredients? Um, I'm going to do, I've got like some like chili oil and stuff. Well, you know, yeah, some, are you going to salt and pepper them? They're all right. Yeah. What am I? What am I clown? You are a clown. I did a gig with you last night. You were being a very funny clown. Thanks. Yeah, it's true. It's true. How was the... So yeah, that's what I'm up to.

Could we get a gig report, Abby, from your perspective? How was the show? Well, it was really fun. Everyone on it was really nice. Personally, I felt like I didn't do that good and I reflected, it was my outfit. Are you out of your mind? You did fantastic. I, I, I went for a walk with Chelsea this morning and we reviewed the gig and we have totally different report cards on your performance. Oh, I thought you did awesome.

The Chelsea thought you sucked. Indeed. My heart's just crumbling. No, she sent me a text after the show that was very lovely. She said, I'm proud to be your friend. Oh, what? She didn't send me shit. That's it. That's a huge compliment.

Yeah. I know. But yeah, I felt like my outfit, I was wearing quite, Tim, quite a buttoned up outfit. You might, I was wearing a little skirt and little jumper and tights and it was, I felt a bit buttoned up. And actually I want to feel cool when I do stand up. I can totally understand that. Would you describe it as almost like you went in a preppy direction with the, the outfit? Yeah, you're exactly right, Tim. I was a preppy direction with the yeah yeah

you're exactly right I was extremely preppy did it feel restrictive it did feel restrict yeah so I think I I'm like I want to just look cool come in next time was this reflection happening in real time or was it only after the gig when you were going back over it that you realised you think you chose the wrong outfit? Which I disagree with, by the way. It was afterwards. I felt a bit restricted.

And I think, because I was going to wear a different outfit. That was a bit more cool and casual. And I was like, no, no, no, wait, B. This is show business. You've got to give him a show. You are a snappy dresser. How much thought goes into choosing an outfit day to day? Oh, a huge amount. Actually, on Sundays, I lay all my clothes out on my bed and I plan my outfits for the week. Seriously? That's so smart. That's satisfying. Oh, thank you. So when people say, oh, you know, I'm like, thank you for that compliment.

Because work went into that. Yeah. How do you dress yourself, Tim? Oh, man, I'd sniff it and if it doesn't reek, I put it on. You're talking to a man in a singlet right now, guy. And I'm on a TV show, effectively. Yeah. Well, camera's on. Well, I'm on a seafood diet, actually. You guys know about this? It's not a TV show effectively. Yeah. Well, camera's on. Well, I'm on a seafood diet actually.

You guys know about this? It's not a TV show, Abby. And you sound really worried just there. It's, we're just filming the videos. No, I was more like shocked that you were going to single it. Cause it's a bit of a nippy day I would say. So, Bren, do you know, Abby once, um, I can't remember how you did this Abby, but you were like, you were, you were going through and describing a bunch of people's fashion

scenes. I don't know how this was possible. Cause it was like, maybe I wasn't there or I was on the phone or something. Can't remember. And you were like your t-shirt and overshoot dude. And I was like wearing exact exactly that at the time. Uh, but you were looking at me. Yeah, we're on the phone and I think we were talking about how I dressed up to be you.

Had you what? Sorry? At a party. How? Shit. Of how I would dress. Yeah. I would dress up to Tim at a party. That's what it was.

How would you do me? I would dress this Tim. Oh, easy mate. Oh, easy mate. I would dress up and I would wear kind of, I describe your pants as like cargo light, like they're cargo. They are technically cargoes. I would wear jeans that are like not wide cut, slim, kind of in between. I'd wear- Striped jeans. not wide cut, slim, kind of in between. I'd wear snakes, I'd wear a little, I mean, I feel like orange is quite you guy. And I'd wear a bag across my shoulders

and a hat that's something satirical. Like, I'll live to work or work to live. You tell me. Okay. That was money. And what would you say when you went in, when you walked into the room, what would you say to embody the character? Of Guy? Yeah. And then I'll do Tim. Yeah. Go for it. Okay. I'm glad like, hello, how are we? And then I'd say something and you'd say, Oh, that's an interesting perspective. like, look, I've got 20 minutes to go and do another thing. I'm happy to be here.

And I'm in the moment. And also I accidentally signed up to do a marathon. And I got to do it. Oh man. Can I ask, what do you, what do you think of the phone? Do you make phone calls? Never actually. Someone called me this morning and I was like, you're not going to touch that. Who was it?

Uh, I think it was my agent I could have been I could have been off in a real hot mood it's not worth it it's not you know like receiving them do you like making them no yeah I do actually yeah my partner hates phone calls he's like he's like you cannot call me do not me yeah, I do actually. Yeah, my partner hates phone calls. He's like, he's like, you cannot call me. Do not call me. Sometimes I like, you know, when I'm out and about, I like, you know, just want to, you know, chat to him, tell him about what I'm up to and you know, what food I've been eating, my feelings and stuff. But if I call him, it will be, I'm in the ambulance. Oh, wow. If he gets an unprompted phone call from me, I'm in the ambulance. That's his immediate assumption or that is genuinely what it would take.

I think it's genuinely what it would take. Holy moly. And would you, do you remember when you were a kid, like, you know, did you, did, did you have to make phone calls or receive phone calls? Yes. Did you have to do those? Are you bringing a bill at hello? It's Abby speaking. It's Samantha there, please.

Yeah. And then, or if you rang a boy and they'd be like, hello, I'd like to speak to Luke. And then they'd be like, is that Abby? And then there's like electronic pulse of gossip would surge through that house. And you're like, look, Abby's calling for you. Abby's on the phone. Yeah, how are you Abby? Good thing. High school today. It was good. And then you'd hear the click of a sibling perhaps picking up the phone to ask you.

I'm curious about this actually because when I was sort of a young teenager, you would have phone calls, I would have phone calls that would last like two hours. Yeah, I don't think anyone's doing that nowadays. No. Is anyone doing that nowadays? This is what the whole, this is what I'm about man. Yeah, you're trying to bring it back. There's magic on the phone.

Yeah. Would you do these long phone calls Abby? Um, yeah I did. I used? Um, yeah, I did. I used to have hours and hours. And now, with my friends too. And now, but would you do that with a friend now? One of the friends you would have made an hours long phone call with at school. Could you do that now?

Yeah. Um, I think so because my best friends live in Dunedin. So it's my only option is to get them on the blower. And do you do it? Because I'm not going to see them in real life. You know, we get each other on the horn from time to time. So you're not totally off the phone. You're just off the phone for business.

No. Business is to be written down. Pleasure is to be spoken. Yeah. That's a great approach for the telephone. That's a great approach. Yes. And business feels like, don't rehassle me, get out of my life. Why can't I live in this world?

And then pleasure seems like, yeah, pleasure on the phone. Lovely. Yeah. You summed it up a lot nicer than I did. I'm just- Abby Howes. You go. I'm trying to do a like business in the streets scenario for phones, but I couldn't quite make it work in my head. Business in the mail?

Phone in the workday. Phone in the, no, it's the opposite of this. Email is in the workday, phone when it's time to play. There you go. Yeah, lovely. Yeah, lovely. Lovely. Lovely.

Lovely is generous. It was generous. A long way to go for, not enough. Uh, I just want to go, go. So, but don't you think, have you ever solved a business problem on the phone that would have taken 12 emails that could have been stretched across three days? Yeah, it's true. It's true. Indeed. But yeah, I feel I have a real, I very easily feel like people are, quote unquote, hassling me, even if it's just, you know, they're offering me work or a kind word. Do you feel like we're hassling you right now? No, this isn't hassle because you've, first of all, you messaged me to let me

know a phone call was coming. That's good. So that's what everyone should do. I would, I would actually appreciate that at all times. I don't, I wouldn't, I don't do that to you. Sometimes you'll be messaging me and I'll just call you up. Yeah. Do you, does that bother you?

No, not if it's you. Why not? You're in a special category. Oh my God. I love that. I feel powerful. But most, most, I think I'm in Abby's camp. It's like, if it's anything remotely work related, send me fucking email.

I don't want to, I don't want to have to respond to it in the moment. Do you know what's funny is I'm so much more, I get so much more anxious when I receive an email than I do when I receive a phone call. Oh, this relationship, you and I, it's never gonna work out. Yeah, if I get an email, I'm like, oh, I don't want to open it.

And I have to, sometimes if, sometimes there'll be this little window where I'll, just click it and it'll open it and I can read it. And then other times I'm like, I have to put the phone down and go and do something before I can do the email. Yeah. So, you know, that's what we're going to do. We will need to start just building in. They call it eating the frog.

Whisper to you today. Eat the frog. Eat the frog. Do it early. Do it up top. I tell you what, Tim, I've been eating frogs. Do it before you are red cabbage and quinoa. I've been eating frogs breakfast after breakfast and quinoa. I've been eating frogs breakfast after breakfast and they've been fucking up my day.

Quinoa is a word that up until about last year, if I saw it written down, I could not not say quinoa. Couldn't. Do you know what? Couldn't not say it phonetically. You will never misspell that word. True. And that cannot be sped.

I-N-O-A? Correct. Great. I love it. I love spelling on spare time. It's good to see. You're out of the office now. You do it recreationally as well, Guy? I'm always, I look at words and I think about them as spelling options.

It's part of the fabric of my life now. Abby, we've got a word. You'll probably... You go. Oh, well, I was just going to say, I think Guy is the most stressful person to text because any, any spelling mistake, he will jump on it. And as you've established yourself in multiple iterations of the spelling bee, you are no good at spelling under pressure.

Neither am I. He's got two pals at UNI, Abby, that are no good at his chosen pursuit. I don't even think about your guys' relationship to spelling. You want to hear the two worst spellers who I text with? Who? Chris Parker and Alice Sneddon. Absolute dog shit to tell them. Just disasters left and right. And look at how insanely successful both of them are.

Yeah, they're both professional writers. Yeah, they're like really, really good ones. That really surprises me about Alice. We've got a word of the day today, Abby. And unfortunately the word is misery. And- Go on. Yeah. Spell it. I'm turning the table.

M-I-S-E-R-Y. How does the- What do you think of that word? Love it. Love the book. Yeah. It's a good book. I was talking about that. I mean, love it. I love the book. Yeah, it's a good book. I was talking about that. I mean, yeah, it's a good book. Um, yeah, I liked it.

It misery. I like it. Yeah. I like words that are very evocative, like misery or agonies. My agonies and my misery. I feel like we need to bring those words into the modern times. I feel like how are you? Like I am, I am wrapped in agony. Do you standing on stage listening to your agonies feels like tangible.

It feels so close to an actual bit that you have. Yeah. My agonies have been causing me grief all week. I don't think I've ever heard of agonies sort of referred, this feels very old English to me, referred to as sort of, you know, like individual gripes that are in a little bucket of problems. Let me tell you about my agonies that I have. Same with miseries.

Misery is too evocative. Agonies is kind of, this is to my, agonies is kind of old time, your slightly unusual language. Misery's, yeah, misery, miserable. That is still in such common parlance that it makes me think that you're actually going through something. Agonies is kind of like a, there's enough, a lighter way of framing, what could be small problems you're blowing up for comedic effect. Do you agree with guys take their abby? You're on the record.

I do, yes. I can imagine if I, if you are, how are you? And I said, I am, oh, I have many agonies in this life. You would think I'm doing a bit and maybe I have to answer an email. If I said, life is nothing but misery. I'd be worried. You would, you'd be worried. Yeah. I'd be worried. You'd be worried.

I'd call the crisis team. You'd be like, you'd call the crisis team on that. And then I'd call your partner and he would say, it's okay that you called because I understand the crisis team are coming to help my partner. Truly. It's been a pleasure, but do you know, not only do we have to stop talking to you, Tim coming to help my partner. Um, truly, truly.
