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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
Okay. You know, the thing is, if this goes wrong, we might lose our
direct line to pay.
I know. That's life, baby. It's an ever changing ocean of
possibilities.
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. I'm not going to say, can we get sponsored?
I'm not going to say, can we confirm our sponsorship?
I'm just going to say any chance of Mosh making it down here sometime soon.
I love that. That's great.
Yep. Hope you are.
What do you say? I'm also thriving.
Hope you're also thriving.
Thriving like a Shriver.
Don't write that any chance.
How's RFK? Any chance.
What is the uncle? I suppose. Is it his uncle?
I've had a Thanksgiving together, my guess. Any chance of, um, or when any
chance of Mosh making it down to this?
Hey, let's start with a compliment to this section of the communication.
Mosh looks incredible.
Mosh looks incredible. Mosh looks incredible.
What an exciting chapter for your business life.
No, I think Leave the Business, I don't think you do.
That feels, you can see through it.
Your mum's crossword books rock the house as well.
No, not that.
Not crosswords.
Any chance, any chance of it making it any chance of? Okay,
I can't wait to try it. Can't wait to try any chance of mosh
bars making their way down to New Zealand sometime soon. Done.
Any chance of mosh bars making it down to NZ sometime soon. This
is a good message.
Peace and love. your friend Guy Montgomery.
Okay. You really want to put a bit of sizzle on the end. I'm going to read it to you in its entirety.
Critical ear is on. Howdy Patrick, love and life down in New Zealand. Hope you're also thriving.
I should, okay, I'm going to give her, hope you're also thriving! Exclamation mark. Great.
And I've said hope you are also thriving. I think it should be hope.
Why are you apostrophe are contraction?
Hope you're also thriving.
Nice and formal.
Moshe looks incredible.
Okay, I am aware that I've just done three short
exclamation sentences in a row.
Then take one off of Moshe looks incredible.
Incredible is an exclamation point of a word.
Looks incredible.
Period.
So here we go.
Howdy Patrick, love and life down in New Zealand. Hope you're also thriving. Mosh looks incredible. Period. So here we go. Howdy Patrick. Love and life down in New Zealand. Hope you're all so thriving. Mosh
looks incredible. Can't wait to try it. Any chance of mosh bars making it down to
NZ sometime soon. Peace and love, your friend, Guy Mcgonigal. It's perfect.
To quote President Donald Trump, it's a perfect message. Yeah. It's a
perfect phone call. So that's an email form.
That's out there now.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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-
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
You might have talent, you might have latent talent that has
been taken.
I'm too sure I've tried.
My question is,
I never found out.
Okay.
Author, painter, comedian. What is the fourth siblings pursuit
in life?
is the fourth siblings pursuit in life?
There's two more. My older sister was a teacher and then she worked for a charity. She had kids took some time off
work and now she's back back in the teaching but primary instead
of high school. She started in high school. Oh, my younger
sibling works at Katmandu, a beloved. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And the in the office.
In the office. Is it true that Polar Fleece was their idea?
Wow. You know what? Oh, you'd have to call my younger
sibling and ask them and then you'd and then you'd have that information.
And in fact, I don't know if they would have that information, but they can tell you maybe like,
sort of what's in stock and what's new season and what's on special.
So they're more forward-looking than they are looking in the past.
Because someone...
Yeah, they're not a historian.
Hey, Eli, could I ask you a question?
Do you have like a mental ranking of your best friends?
I'm not going to interrogate it, but I just want to know if you do.
Oh, I would say no.
I would say no.
But sometimes I do notice what I notice is that it constantly changes.
And some weeks I will think to myself, wow, this this week this person's made a real move into the inner circle
You're living your life like a reality show you're thinking wow, they're really making moves this week. Yeah, I'm going intruder
Maybe we should all have like this secret challenges in our head like they do on survival.
Are you one of those people? Do you consider Sam your best friend? Is your partner your
best friend?
I hate that language. But if I was to be honest, it is probably true. And that I don't think
there's anything that I do that I'm I wouldn't prefer doing with him there as well. Wow. What about shit talking him?
Yeah, that's not even then I think you'd have some good I think it chime in with
some good lines.
Can I also ask, you know, self deprecating?
He is. He had a funny joke in your show this year where you said, well, actually,
I'm not gonna do your joke. But you were, you were very, you were kind of mean, you're kind of mean in a sentence. You said he's a
clinical psychologist, but he gets anxiety. So I cannot recommend him.
I think you were there the same day as whole office was there as well.
Yeah. I was, yeah. Yeah. They loved it. They were like, this motherfucker is vulnerable.
What are you, what do you think about the phone? Do you get on the blow much and just catch up?
Almost never. And I think I've had this conversation with you before because I
had an issue with my dad and you were like, why don't you call them? And I was
like, why would I ever call anyone in my family?
That's right.
And I'm a big messenger boy.
And you wrote an email. Hey.
Yeah. Yeah, we did our Facebook messages. And hey, I'm coming up to where my sister is now. Is this
an okay time for me to exit? Excellent. Why? So it's because it's because I asked him about the
phone that he realized he doesn't like being on the phone. You reminded him of what he's done.
I thought we were having a great time. Hey, like, it's been a pleasure to talk to you. I love being on a podcast.
Oh, come on.
Sorry I didn't get to my slurs.

We see this.
This actually speaks to why I don't like the phone very much, because out of the blue,
you've suddenly got this thing inserted into your day out of nowhere.
No warning. I don't like that.
Yeah. You don't like you. But you don't have to pick it up.
Oh, I do though. You don't.
Rude to not. No, you don't.
What am I going to do? Just watch it ring out? Yes.
What if it's important? You don't know. It's not.
If it's a message, right? I can read it and immediately go, immediately go,
this is important or I can ignore that we're gonna solve this
We're gonna solve you've got a problem. I don't think I do you've got a problem
