Welcome along to another exciting episode of Good Times with your buddies, Tim and Guy. Are we buddies? Yep. We're buddies. We're buddies to each other and we're buddies to you listening as well. You know I'd say we've balanced the ledger this year. How so? We've always been buddies. I think we were colleagues. For a second.

Oh yeah I see what you're saying. Yeah yeah yeah. Buddy, now we're buddies first. Yeah. It's kind of a tricky thing in things like comedy because it is very easy to just sort of work with your friends a lot. And then everything's like the hangs are just being at work, which is nice. And in your head, you categorize it and you think it's the same thing, but it's not, it's not, it's actually not yeah it's probably not the healthiest way to go through life that all your friendships are connected to some sort of commercial imperative

ultimately well you say potato and I say cash that check I was inspired by you last week you come in you're wearing a hat. Okay. The last week? Yep. We the herd, fear the herd, fear the dare. That's the Milwaukee Bucks. I bought this with you. You'll never guess where. What the hat or the t shirt? The t shirt. It says, just if you're listening, it's got a picture of a shark on it. And it says Venice Beach, California. I'm going to guess we got that when we're on our London trip. No, you are being so cheeky right now. I got it in Venice Beach, California. One of my longest serving t-shirts. Yeah, that's been in the rotation for a long

time. How does it feel? Is it was a good thick cotton to begin with? Has it sustained the washes pretty well? You know, you get these cheap sort of tourist t-shirts sometimes and they're low qual. Yeah. This is quality, man. I've had this in high rotate for a decade. Loyal servant, great foot soldier. Love the design. And the shark emblems like three, it looks bumpy to me. Is it textured? Yeah. It's got a little bit of texture on it. Yeah. It's, what do you say say we just say that it's screen printed?

I don't know. But it's not peeling or anything. It's just like, fuck man, this shark's been around the block. Yeah. Went on the Jaws ride at Universal Studios, Osaka. Okay, yep. Um, really fun. They've built a replica of the town that Jaws is set in. Oh, well, what am I thinking? And you go on a little boat.

Is there flames? Is there some pyrotechnics? There were pyrotechnics. Yeah, I think I've been on that one. Yeah, there were pyrotechnics at one point. There's like a, you know, there's not an oil refinery, but there's, you know, there's a gas situation. There are tanks of gas.

Yeah. They catch you off guard. Anyway. Did you love that ride? The Jaws ride? I did. I will say it was not the, it was not the most thrilling of the rides, but the detail, I love little models.

I like it when things are to scale. I love that they'd, you know, recut, you know, like you're driving past and it's got all of the stores and all of the, the, the house fronts from Jaws. And I love it. And almost in a way it bothers me that no one actually lives in them because if you went inside of them, they wouldn't be an actual house or a shop. But I look at them and I think, well, doesn't it look so quaint and wouldn't it be nice if someone lived there? But then of course they would be living on the fringe of the Jaws ride at Universal Studios, Osaka. Yeah.

And it's a tough existence. It wouldn't. It seems. Well, I just think getting in and out of the house could be annoying because the back of that part of the ride where, you know, that it's a manmade Island and so there's no way on or off except to go on one of the boats, which is in fact on a predetermined route and cannot deviate from where it is going around. Much like a ferry.

No, because the ferry is not actually connected to a mechanism that sits beneath the boat that ensures the boat goes on exactly the same route every time. That's true. That's true. Ferry drivers have the illusion of agency. Now let's think about that for a moment. Shall we? The open ocean gives a person a feeling, an emotional connection to openness, And that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it.

And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it.

And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I think that's the thing about it. And I aspect of infiniteness about it. You mean our lack of determinism, the ocean or our lives, the ocean. Yeah. And the void lives feel so finite. And yet the theory operator, the theory captain, the skipper of that boat. Yeah. Has much like all skippers has to take, well, pretty much all skippers has to take a very determined path.

Do you know what kills me? What? They're very good at driving boats. That is a big boat that can handle a lot, but guess what? What? You're just going over the- Oh right. Like their skills aren't being put to the test at all.

Not at all. Which can get dangerous itself every now and then. You know, like truck drivers who kind of fall asleep at the wheel because they're just in the same thing all the time. Whereas if you were to put a couple of, you know, Mario Kart-style obstacles in their path to get from A to B, will keep them a little bit more engaged with the road. You know why that...

A huge slippery banana from time to time. That's right. A power-up that turns the truck massive. Or shrinks it right down. An oil slick across the windshield. A turtle shell which you can hold for, you know, a time that is up to you and then release. You know the real reason those truck drivers fall asleep? What?

It's because they're all sucking each other off at the truck stops. What are you talking about, Monty? It makes you tired. Right. Okay. They just started edging. Yeah. You watch. Oh, so you're not even saying stop filleting.

You're just saying don't fillet to completion. And then you guys are going to be a lot safer on the road. Simple game when played correctly. Man, road safety is important. Truck drivers, please pay attention to everything Guy has to say. Thanks, Tim. It's important. It feels nice to be supported.

Should we pivot into the word of the day today? Well, we've got a bit to get supported. Should we pivot into the word of the day today? Well we've got a bit to get to. Yeah there's a lot happening on the show today on Good Times with Tim and Guy, two good guys. If I told you we've talked about boats and we've talked about trucks, a boat you I suppose you drive. Truck of the ocean. Yeah. It's flight. Wow. Yeah. How fitting. Earth, sea and sky.

Flight, to take flight. Flow in the coup. Watched a beautiful children's movie a while ago. Yeah. Don't know if we've talked about it. The wild robot. Oh yeah. You were telling me you were going and then I didn't get a post analysis a robot washes up on the shore of a sort of an island that is

overtaken by wilderness and animals Set in the not too distant future the robot wakes up. It's like There's it's sort of like a me seeks almost it's like it does I can do anything There's no if you need a task, I finish every task to completion. Right. If you need a task, just ask. And then it's going around and all of these animals are terrified of it and don't know how to ask it for a task.

Anyway, as the story progresses, the robot accidentally kills a mother goose, whoops, squashes some eggs. Oh, there's left to raise a gosling by itself. Far out. Has to teach it how to be a bird. And this is a robot, it's got no idea how to teach that. And the movie progresses and we actually see the robot sort of building connections in community

and learning some independent thought and feeling and faculty teaching this young Gosling as it grows up, how to fly the flight montage. Tearjerker. I was crying. Yeah. I was crying. They know how to make a movie. I wasn't even welling brother.

You're crying. I was crying. And I said to Chelsea afterwards, she went with Chelsea and Oliver and a friend. And I said, we were all crying, right? That's what I said. I was, I said, that was, that had me crying. And I said to Chelsea afterwards, with Chelsea and Oliver friend, I said, we were all crying, right? I said, I said, that was that had me crying. And she said, I've been crying the last 30 minutes. Good movie then. Yeah, great movie.

Do you remember the sort of original live action version of what you're just describing? fly away home starring New Zealand's own and a pack one. I'm just gonna check on one of the cameras. But you tell everybody about that movie. describing fly away home starring New Zealand's own Anna Paquin. I'm just going to check on one of the cameras, but you tell everybody about that movie. Anna Paquin, I think for a time was the youngest. Did she win Youngest Nominated Academy? Youngest nominated actress for an Academy Award. And I actually don't know a lot about her. It's that class New Zealand thing, isn't it?

Where she gets a big bit of profile and we all go, she's ours. I don't keep tabs on her. I just know she's ours. And that's what acting is. When I think of the word flight, I mean, it's actually versatile because you can get a flight of drinks,

which I never really go for. If I like, you know, people get a tasting flight of beers or something, if they go to a brewery, and I think that looks frustrating and unsatisfying. What do I want? I want a pint of what I want. That's what I want. I don't want, and a lot of these places anyway,

will give you a taste of the beer if you just ask. So I don't want to have 250ml of six different drinks. I want whatever. You want two litres of the good stuff. A pint is? Which I'm going to say 440? 600 I thought. But I think these different versions of a pint. 473. One one us liquid pint There is no uk liquid pint how many mils of pint in New Zealand 425 is 500 mils of pint

The pint bottle is the perfect measure as long as it's 500 mils. I've got what? So we've just been given three different amounts of mils that constitute a pint. Interesting. I'm gutted that we got off Anna Paquin so quickly because do you know about Anna Paquin? Wow, just that she was rogue and X-Men. It was what was a cool character. What you created was a challenge for me because you brought up Anna Paquin. You said talk about that and then left and I had It wasn't intentional No data Yeah So I felt and I'm not, I don't feel attacked

I felt I did a pretty good job You did excellent Of getting from Anapaquin to an area which was still tethered to the word of the day And also, you know Much like the geese in Fly Away Home I was like the mother that abandoned the chicks I don't think I've seen Fly Away Home Fly Away Home is about was like the mother that abandoned the chicks. I don't think I've seen Fly Away Home. Fly Away Home is about Anna Paquin teaching a, I want to say it's a flock of geese to fly

using a plane. How old do you think Anna Paquin is now? Go. 43. Shit. 42. Where do you think Anna Paquin was born? Go. Christchurch? Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Oh no, that's not even New Zealand. That's right. What the heck? What the heck? How have we been claiming- She was four years old. Okay, that counts. Probably citizenship, yeah. What was the vampire thing called? True Blood? Is that what it was called? That she's in that was really awesome and everyone loved? True Blood. Won a Golden Globe. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at 11.

Becoming the second youngest winner in Oscar history. Shows what we know. Did Keisha Castle Hughes ever hold that title? Did she win an Oscar? She might have been the youngest. For Whale Rider? No, she was nominated. And that was, how would you think Keisha Castle Hughes is? Right now? Yeah.

Our age plus two, 30. What am I? 39. 34. Oh, she's younger than us. And she's not, I'll tell you what she's not doing. What? Talking about us.

Second youngest nominee. All of these great New Zealand actors are the second youngest. You ever hung out with Keisha Castle Hughes? Yeah. She's a delight, eh? Real good value. She's awesome. Crack up, eh?

Really funny. We left the last Good Times on a real hook. On a cliffhanger. Yeah. That's a nice way to say it. We didn't leave it on a hook. We left it on a cliffhanger. You're right. I've actually got my own mental cliffhanger. On a real hook. On a cliffhanger. Yeah. That's a nice way to say it. We didn't leave it on a hook. We left it on a cliffhanger.

I've actually got my own mental cliffhanger. Do you ever go for the taste and flight? Yeah. Do you? Yeah, I like novelty. What can I say? It feels Tim. Can we?

I like a sour. Can you open up? I'm dressed for business. That's right. I'm wearing a hot pink singlet and a suit jacket. Yeah. Arms, the arms are free and breathe free and breathy in the jacket. Yeah. But to anyone who looks at you, they think you're just wearing a t shirt. Yeah. The seat you're Hey, Tim, you're

secret safe with me a lot of your secret safe with me a lot of secret ventilation. Do not tell your mother. Okay, sweet as I if your mom finds out you ever wore... She listens, doesn't she? Yeah. Fuck. I didn't want her to know that you're wearing this. Okay.

And now I can't block... The jig is up. I can't block this information. The jig is up. Marg. Keep it to yourself. Okay. From who are we protecting now?

Your dad. Okay. He cannot know. Don't let Andy know. He doesn't listen. Hey, we've got business to attend to. Neither. He cannot know. Don't let Andy know. He doesn't listen. Hey, we've got business to attend to. Neither of my parents listen. It's for the best.

None of my family listen. Annie? When we started, my sister was listening, my older sister was listening to an episode on Treadmill and she said I had to stop because... She had to stop or you had to stop? She had to stop. Oh yeah, why?

I think it was distracting. Worst idea or this? Worst idea. And they never kept listening. Wow. I know. But I did get to see her this year. I went and visited her in England and we actually had a really good time. That's awesome. It was awesome. We had a lot of fun. It was so nice. My brother just came from England to hang out here and it was also great. You got to see him. It was nice.. My brother just came from England. Yeah hang out here and it was also great You got to see him. It was nice. That's right The the good times heads will remember there was a poker game a few episodes ago

You'll never guess who I took money off both the bad brothers. It's true Guilty as charged we left it on a cliff anger because we have reached out to Patrick Schwarzenegger for a sponsorship opportunity. I'll just remind everyone what we said to him. And I'll just remind everyone that both Guy and I have Patrick Schwarzenegger tattooed on our bodies. A fact that I feel like Patty has forgotten. I think he doesn't know that. Patty, great to hear from you. And can I say you're talking to the right guy.

Got an exciting branding opportunity. I'd like to talk to you about involving Moshe. Let me know when you'd like to discuss. Stay groovy. G-mont. Wait a minute. Now, we've actually kind of done this in the wrong order, haven't we? Because we should get the phone call going so that we can read this to the phone.

To who we're calling. Well, that's right, because we're actually we're we're we are mingling segments. So we're going to reach out to a friend for our segment that forgotten out of the phone call who is familiar with the practice of brand partnerships. So what are you, should we just, should we just, anyway, basically Patty message back saying, sure, let me know.

Yeah. We've left them on read. We don't know how to behave. No. But I'll tell you who does. We've been freaking out about it. From the male gaze, it's only Chris bloody Parker. I like the sound of the ring. Working in the trades is intense. I like the sound ease the burden. A message from the Government of Canada.

Baby, don't call me while I'm at home. Oh, CP. Hey, keep it professional. this is being documented. Oh is this on the podcast off shit? Hey buddy! Hey dude, you want to catch up later and suck each other up? Yeah! Oh it's so windy! Where are you? How are ya Well, I'm good Tim's here. I'm walking home. Hi, Timmy. Hey, Chris, how are you? Are you outside right now? Hold on, I'm just getting out of a fucking wind tunnel.

Yeah, the weather is... Bloody Auckland weather. The weather is appalling today. You need to get inside. Here we go. And I'm there. How are you both? How's your broadcast?

Our broadcast, go ahead. That's right. We've lifted the concept of the male gaze and we thought, but what if straight? Why not straight? I think we found out. I just actually ate a delicious chicken pie. So I'm feeling top of the world and just a little bit sleepy. I didn't have any pastry and it's, it's, it's, you know, I've got nothing against pastry. It's not a moral stance. I'm not saying I'm better than you, Tim. I just didn't have any. Yeah. Was I offered some?

Now is that a... Absolutely. I just threw down too many savouries, which I thought was an interesting choice because it's like not a full pie, but two small ones. I'm so vulnerable to those I go you know what you are vulnerable to what a little cupcake really say more Chris Parker nothing loves more than a little cupcake and you think fitting but like if he sees one, it doesn't matter what time it is, he'll go,

do you reckon we should go get one? And then he'll think about it. And I might say no, and then he'll go and get it later. Yeah, when Chris and I first went to Adelaide together for a fringe and it was, we were, I can't remember what we were doing. We were walking around and we walked past the cupcake store and I said,

do you think we should go in there? It was like 10 AM. I was like, absolutely not. Like that will send me spiraling. Yeah. And then, um, he, and then Monty dropped me home once from the airport and I lived quite close to Bluebell's bakery. Oh, that's, yeah, that's a trap.

He nip past and got himself a little, a little cupcake. Do you know what else I do if I'm picking up Olive from school? What? I'll swing past the bakery and get this. I will buy myself a full-sized regular cupcake and I'll get Olive a mini. And by the time I've picked her up, which is less than three minutes drive from the bakery, I will have eaten the entire full-sized cupcake and I'll hide the box. I won't hide the box, but you know, the box is, it's not visible.

And I'll give her the little one. I'll go, here you go. And I must have like, you know, who's this cool restrained stepdad who's not having any cupcakes. So selfless, just going into the bakery purely to get me a mini cupcake. Hiding in your pocket is the shame of the rapper. They squeezed up into a tiny greasy ball. I've got green icing on the tip of my nose.

Chris, we've we've called you for a couple of reasons. The first is because it's always, always, always good to talk with you. How you going, dude? I love to yelp on the oh, God, I just love to yelp on the phone the phone with my voice you know it's so good. Do you know you are one of my main um phone call. Now I gotta fix that camera. You're one of my main phone call partners. Do you know that? Would you say that's true in reverse? You Timbatt really? No no I'm talking to you Chris Parker. Is this Montage? This is I'm going to be talking to Chris Parker saying you're one of the main people I talk to on the phone You can't read. Don't all sound the same, bro

You you two actually kind of do weirdly both like that You just did your regular speaking voice I Have to contact saved up as my favorites and they are my husband and then they are Monty. No, I'm in the favorites? Yeah, you're like two big faces so I can call you in an emergency. You're easily one of the top people. I can't believe that. That's so nice. So my impression of you is a man who loves to be on the phone,

but I don't know how you feel about phone calls more broadly. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I love to be on the phone. I mean, because I'm just I'm just, you know, a classic 90s kid home phone. I have no fear in answering the phone. In fact, I welcome it. I think probably cause there's like four kids, you know, we were just like running to answer the phone.

I actually have great phone etiquette, quite the gag on this. When I answered this one, we got installed as kids to be like, hello, this is Robert Parker speaking. Like as soon as we answer the phone. I be like, hello, Robert Parker speaking. Like the soonest we aren't the phone. I had the exact same thing, Chris. I don't know if this is because of this, but I am also a child in four kid family and I was taught for some reason, full legal name, the outset of a phone call.

Here's my question about this is I'm imagining, um, did you guys have a eavesdrop on your siblings? On the phone? Yes. Must have. Must have once or twice. It's a hard word. I wouldn't want to get caught. No one does. That's the whole thing with eavesdropping.

Oh, do you know what? I can remember because there was a technique which is unplug it from the wall, take it off the receiver, then plug it back into the wall. Jesus Christ. Oh, I don't know if I did it. Oh wait, yes I did. I had the ultimate sleuth technique. Yeah. Because you know, if you're on the phone to someone or feeling vulnerable, you could be talking to someone you like or something and then you hear that click.

Yeah. And you go, get off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I can hear you on the phone.

Yeah, like that. Talking to my girlfriend. And it's funny now, isn't it? Because your siblings can't eavesdrop on you because landlines aren't a thing, but everyone else in society can. True. You know? If I hear someone on a phone call behind me or whatever, I can't not but listen to it. But I'm like that with general conversations anyway, like if there's someone having a really

interesting dinner, I stopped talking to my husband and then I start listening to the other conversation. I need to know what's going on. It's impossible. Have you ever have you ever sat down with a friend and you're meant to catch up and then there's a couple next to you maybe there is like they're on a first date or there's something where you're trying to engage in conversation where you how you how you going? How did that thing work out? And then

there's just the most interesting thing in the world. And you both go through for five minutes and then you go, I'm so sorry. I haven't heard anything. We got to change. And then you play, we're going to change tables. You play the game where you're trying to keep the illusion of your conversation ball in the air. Your ears on the left hand side. I am like that even wacky characters.

It's kind of like my Lord synesthesia thing, like how she sees, like he has music and colors when I hear like a weird person talk, I just, I have to focus in on them. I can't focus on anything else. I'm just like, who is this person? I'm like, yeah, I like, you know, just whatever voice they've got, or like the Kuru lounge, right? That kind of shit. Just watching like a businessman sweat over some can of beer cheese. And I'm just like, I can't look away.

The airport lounge is a classic for it because the people in there are so used to life on their terms that every, every room they go into has the familiarity and comfort of their lounge. And so there's, there's a, there's unguarded, there's a lack of walls or privacy, you know, and there's no consideration to what they're saying or who might be listening. Cause it's just like, everyone comes to me. This is where I talk about whatever I want and you can all live through it. So you do get a lot of stuff in there.

Miraculously on speakerphone, speaking out loud to the phone so you hear actually both people in the conversation, which is a real treat actually. What do you guys think about doing a Zoom meeting in a cafe? Legal or illegal? There's a way to do it. You can pull it off, but you want to be, you don't want to be driving it. That's for sure. I'll attend one. Yeah, but I will not be driving it that's for sure I'll attend one yeah but I will not be driving a yeah it's a new one it's a nuanced answer Chris is I quite like a zoom I think I quite like a zoom on the back of a taxi or like I feel like that feels quite chic because you're on the go the meeting but in a

cafe I think cafes are like churches and should be respected. Do you know what's heavenly? They're places to catch up with straight women. Yep. Doing it. Do you not take your queer friends to the cafe? Exactly. It's where I listen to my straight girlfriends talk about dating. Fantastic. You take an Uber to the airport and you can zoom in there. You are

business magnate. You're running the country at that point. Do you know, I'm still desperately trying to attach the idea that airline travel is like, it's technologically inaccessible. Basically, if it's a travel day, I'm like, Hey, I'm traveling. Really? There's windows of opportunity, literally from leaving the house to arriving at the destination. I'm like, shut down. Even in the air. Even in the air, you've

got pretty good Wi Fi. Every time I get a notification from an airline being like, use Wi Fi free of charge on this flight, I think, fuck off. This is my chance to think. Chris, we had another reason why it's so good to talk to you today. And I'm going to let Monty explain the context because it's complicated and I am a simpleton. We have been sort of flirting with and courting a sponsor for this podcast. They've got no idea that they're in the crosshairs.

It is our old friend, Patty Schwartz, Patrick Schwarzenegger. You must know that we have a connection to him in some way. Yes, correct. Big name. Big name. A big celebrity in Dahlsburg. He's a big name. So we started with him.

He was part of the launch. We found him through Grown Ups 2. He launched Blaze Pizza. We became obsessed. We pretended Blaze Pizza was sponsored the worst out of all time. We actually went to a sit-in at their restaurant. We sort of settled for about $50 worth of free pizza

and a handshake from the chef. They sent out a marketing person. They were worried. They were worried. Anyway, it's a new day, it's a new dawn. We've turned a leaf. This is good times. It's a new podcast.

It's a new podcast. And Patrick Schwarzenegger's launched a new product. This is called Mosh. Okay. Okay. It's a brain and body fuel. They're protein bars, ostensibly helping. Basically, we have been kind of sponsored by Mosh this whole time, not in any sort of contra or monetary way, but just conceptually, the spirit of mosh runs through the podcast. You're in the mosh pit, I get it. It didn't take long for us to reach out to Patrick and say, Hey, man, basically hope life's good. Any chance of these mosh bars making it down south.

He took a while to get back to us. We send an identical message twice. This is from my own Twitter DMs. He eventually messaged back saying, my man, life is great. Hope you're well. Hope to get mosh bars. We send an identical message twice. This is from my own Twitter DMs. Eventually message back saying my man life is great. Hope you well hope to get mosh bars down under some time. I didn't say anything. Wow. He took a while we took a while got back to him. Last episode. This was dictated by Tim. Patty, great to hear from you. And can I say you're talking to the right guy. I've got an exciting branding opportunity.

I would like to talk to you about involving Mosh. Let me know when you'd like to discuss. Stay groovy, G-Mont. Wow, big, big, big email. He messaged back on the same episode. This is a matter of two minutes after I'd sent the message, which was very unusual. He's a businessman.

He knows how to operate. He said, sure, let me know. We've left him hanging until now. Okay. You're a man who has partnered with brands before. You are usually the person who would have been courted. So a brand wants a slice of the Chris Parker Magic Factory you make a deal and I have ridden that corporate sponsored wave right to the top that is

awesome I simply nothing brings me more joy than adding that little paid partnership tag on a post on my Instagram. I click my heels and I'm running for the hills with joy. Counting every greedy corporate dollar I take on the way. Hey, you've earned the right to do that. Selling out used to be a bad thing. Now it's basically the industry. Yeah.

So, oh yeah, that's all we do. Everything. I mean, it's all advertising, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, we're all working for Meta. It's goal. So. Oh yeah. That's all we do. Everything. I mean, it's all advertising, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, we're all working for Meta. It's true. Oh, for better or worse. Never had it put to me like that.

You look crazy. I'm a thinking man. I am so deep in employment for Meta. I, Meta, sorry. I, oh, you're either working for Meta or Meta in this country absolutely so basically Chris we're we I don't know what do you think are we in a strong position are we in a weak position how do we approach this we are

suggesting we don't have a huge how much do you want from us I think we're five grand we want money you got to do more. More, 10 grand. And what are we going to give them? More. 25 grand. I think 25 grand from Mosh. Okay. But it's going to require. Can I just say as well, Chris,

one of their main selling points is that they donate to Alzheimer's charities. And so far they've given $100,000 to that. And that's like their main marketing thing. That was it. That's going to be a no, that's, that's going to get in the way of your mission. I feel that was probably a big, they are going to have to, they're going to have to pick. Okay.

They have to pick a line. Outsiders will ask. They either support Alzheimer's or they support the pod. Yeah. Okay. Boy. And then. What are we offering them?

What are you offering them? What are you offering them? Well, you're gonna have to do brand recognition guys, so I'm thinking t-shirts I'm thinking, you know podcasts. They're not just to listen to are they in this day and age podcast are a visual feast They are movies. We sit down to put on the big screen to watch a podcast and what will we be watching? We will be watching two mosh bars talking to each other. That is Guy Montgomery, that is Timbatt, dressed as giant mosh bars, chatting to each other. A microphone, they could be mosh bars. So you could be speaking into mosh bars.

Wow. This is brand recognition. And we're talking events's we're talking live events We're talking, you know, you host the mosh pit. So You know guy who gone gone already turned that live podcast get all the fans They're standing for the whole thing in the mosh pit. I'm like, wow Rocking out you got integration. I can see why you get to charge a pretty penny. You're full of ideas You guys chatting I can see why you get to charge a pretty penny you're full of ideas

And then you know people love POV videos I'd say POV you're a mosh bar And I'd make that a very quick video because they're not they don't last long do they because we eat them so quickly So it's your day your mom. Oh, it's gone The visuals of that have flashed into my head and they are Disgusting so we've got like an extreme close-up going into our respective mouths your mosh bar, oh, it's gone. The visuals of that have flashed into my head and they are disgusting. So we've got like an extreme close up going into our respective mouths. That's the POV.

Yeah, or that feeling when you're the last mosh bar or that feeling when you miss out on the last, that feeling when your Alzheimer's is cured from mosh bars. You know, legally you're allowed to say, you know. Wow. That feeling when, was that your Alzheimer's is cured. That feeling when your Alzheimer's is cured. Thanks to mosh. Thanks to mosh. And then we'll put a little TM next to mosh. So you put a trigger warning. This is kind of like

I've heard of brand takeovers before where you'll have like an account and in all kinds will sort of take over. You were sort of inferring this. It sounds like sort of, but Mosh would take over our lives for a bit. I'm thinking, you know, not only collaboration posting, but I'm thinking collaboration lifestyle. I think you boys should be living that Mosh life. Mosh life.

Mosh life. So brand, you know, it's the way that people go, oh, this guy Montgomery outside, you know, Ponsby central. And he's getting into his mosh branded car. You know, it's that stuff that we go, okay, they are living, breathing the product. I feel like we'd be asking for shares or percentages of ownership if we are the going this. 25 grand felt like too much money to me at the start, but now that Chris, you've painted the picture

of what this entails, I'm like, okay. This is a lot. This sounds like we're upending our current lives. What about even the guy mosh-gomery spelling bee? You know, just the way they can wedge it into that. And they could just- Tim, have another baby. Call that baby Mosh. You know, Tim.

Change my last name to Bar. Bar. Just lob those T's off. Put an R there. Mosh Bar. Okay. I mean, this is a really great sort of free flowing, you know, idea zone. Yeah.

How do we just. I'm at that idea generation level. You know, no idea is a bad idea. How do we distill this I'm just at that, I'm at that idea generation level. You know, no idea is a bad idea. How do we distill this into a Twitter DM? Okay. Would love to talk about a couple of collaboration posts

on Instagram. You know, we scratch your back- And deep integration to the podcast. And you scratch ours. Integration. Yeah, yeah. you know and deep integration to the podcast and scratch house integration yeah yeah we see a lot of crossover between the mosh consumer and the podcast listener and then the DMs be like this is purely only for money you want to take his money, don't you? Are you really caring about pushing the word of mosh?

No, not at all. And how do we phrase that? How do we frame that up? Because it seems a bit gauche to say, by the way, this is a purely financial transaction. Can I just read to you guys what we've got so far? I was sort of trying to capture that as you were both dictating. Hard thing to do. Would love to talk about a couple of

collaboration posts on Instagram and deep integration to the podcast. You scratch our back and we scratch ours. We see a lot of opportunity for crossover between the mosh bar eater and podcast listener. We really just want your money. Here's a suggestion. Yeah I think that's okay Sorry, you go Chris, you're the expert here. I fear if I send that one, I'm getting blocked. We could, you could go, oh, we could start small, maybe you, you know, Mosh could sponsor us 25k, but there's ways to upscale from here. So make it feel like 25k is a small amount. Starting bid.

Small. And then we go, and then go, we are talking to other people at the moment, but because of our history, we thought we'd reach out to you first. So it doesn't, you know, it makes him feel like he's in a line. Wow.

You're a real business man. Like a fiddle. This is incredible. I do think we should maybe say at some point, his back will be scratched. Because unless I misheard, I think it said, you scratch our back. You scratch our back, we'll scratch ours. I think that's right. Well, you all got, I mean, listen, you both have massive social media and I'm thinking

even just cultural capital here. You are going to get, I've seen Guy Montgomery's audience, you know, that is a hot straight crowd and they are hungry for laughs and protein bars that fix Alzheimer's. So I would say, you know, you want you want he wants his mosh bars in the hands of, of Timbatt and Guy Montgomery's fans. So it's good. It's good if you know, you're the right kind of people to be endorsing this product. I think you know, I'm thinking like Eva Longoria and fucking L'Oreal. Like that's how close this is going to be. Jesus. Okay, Chris, this is such good stuff. I'm actually overwhelmed by the volume and intensity of ideas you're bringing. I feel super gassed up by your optimism about this deal. And I actually like, I think this is going to work.

Even if this doesn't turn into anything, even if this doesn't turn into anything, it'll be a thrill to bargain with this guy, you know? Yeah. Get in the fucking shark tank, boys. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Yes. And drop a bit of blood in that shark tank. So the message as it stands, same all the way up to we really just want your money. I'm thinking we could probably take that sentence out. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think take that out. That's in the subtext. I've changed you scratch our back and we scratch ours to you scratch our back and we scratch ours and also yours.

Yes, great. We could start, we see a lot of opportunity for crossing between the Mosh Barrier and the podcast listener. We could start small 25k USD, but go up from there. We're talking to other people as well, but because of history, we thought we'd reach out to you first. Well, okay. Yeah. I guess the consideration here is are you cool with this is us taking a big

swagger, this is either going to go somewhere or you're getting blocked. But I don't think anywhere in between. I don't think you're sticking around. This is how Twitter started. This is how Facebook started. This is how it all starts. You want to know what's cool? A podcast isn't cool.

I mean, look, a $25,000 sponsorship with Marsh. That's cool. Yeah. It's nothing for these guys, you know, it's chump change. He's a Shriver. Come on. So yeah, I mean, the guys, the guy has cured Alzheimer's. He's fine. Uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say we'd love to talk about a couple of collaboration posts on the podcast and

Graham and deep integration to the podcast. You scratch our back and we scratch ours and also yours. We see a lot of opportunity for crossover between the mosh bar eater and podcast listener. We could start small 25k USD we got from there. So we're gonna have the people's because of our history we thought we'd reach out to you first. Send it send it Chris sign off. Send it. You should have sent it 10 minutes ago.

It's been sent. Chris Parker, thank you so much for all your help with this. This has been tremendous. I'm happy to outreach to the straight community. It's the least I can do for all that you have given us. Well, I can't wait to see what that brings. can't wait to see what that brings. And in the meantime, Chris will catch you later. Okay. Bye boys. Love ya. Bye. Huge thanks to Chris Parker and to you, the listener and to Mosh Bars? Question mark. We'll see you next time. Working in the trades is intense. It can be stressful and painful. Some guys use drugs and alcohol to cope.

But when we ask for help, we see someone struggling with addiction. Our silence speaks volumes. See how you can help, or get help, at Canada.ca slash ease the burden. A message from the Government of Canada.
