Summary
IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS (or perhaps two) since Tim and Guy have seen each other and in the great words of Peaches & Herb, They are reunited and it feels so good! Tim has been working on a podcast with Carlo, Guy has been working on a TV show with Guy. Our one libertarian listener assumes various different identities to worry about our health, discuss performing in a strip show and brag about England cricket. We also get a special cameo from the great Ken Griffen who gives out a curry recommendation for anyone in New York. We love you!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the friends on, in the friends on, you're always on, in the friends on, you're not alone anytime, with Tim and God. |
| 0:19.5 | Guy the thing is we need to be able to delineate us hanging out as friends with our beating ourselves up for being a bit behind on our |
| 0:28.4 | podcast obligation. I haven't seen you for like, three weeks, two weeks, that might be, it might be, it feels like a long time, which means that I haven't seen you as a friend for that amount of time, but I also haven't, I haven't worked with you in that amount of time and it's stupid because I know you're busy and I, you know what, people's, you know, life, people's lives get busy, but the fear is, I'll be like, hey man, we need to hang out. Yes. And then the hang out will become a work of, when what |
| 0:58.4 | all I really want to, you just want to hang out with your boy. I just want to spend time with you. The business thing's interesting isn't it? I'm like, you know, I'm thinking a lot at the moment about, okay, you can't just be busy all the, how do we solve it? How does one solve this for oneself? You know, I mean, you know, there's a period, I think, or there are people where they take great value in their business. I think it feels very LA to me that people are, you know, they've got a lot of |
| 1:28.4 | going on and they're so busy, in fact, that when they're in their down time, they spend it lining up how busy they are for the people around them. By the way, folks, the reason why it's so echo in here, I just decided we were going to pot in the lounge. |
| 1:44.4 | I've got to say, as I mentioned, haven't, haven't seen Tim for a long time, came in, lovely setup. I really, I've always loved your dining table. It's a good table. We've got some beautiful plants. This is the Australian rosewood. I don't think you can buy this anymore. Is that we found it at a city else or something? We're, we're podcasting on Brazilian rosewood. And there were two award winning freshly chilled milk stouts in front of our respective microphones. So Tim and I are podcasting on |
| 2:14.4 | enjoying New Zealand and the world's best milk stout. It's pretty yum. It's way younger than I thought something called a milk stout. This is a very, very delicious full flavoured beer. So Tim, Carlo left these. Do you guys know, do you guys know Carlo Richie co-host of hosting? Yeah. That's a fun credit to say out loud. He was here. His whole family were here recently. Yes, they were there. And there was, do you know, that was probably, oh yeah, |
| 2:44.4 | that's when I last saw you. There was probably two weeks ago. And there was some really quality time. It was fucking, it was fucking nice. All of our families hung out. Hey, children and adults are plenty. The reason Carlo was here was because he and I, I have stolen him away from guy. And now Carlo is co-hosting a podcast with me that's coming out of the end of the month. I'm so excited to hear it. World's colliding. Yeah. And ships, perhaps colliding. Yeah. |
| 3:14.4 | Indeed, it's going to be an interesting one. I'll maybe hold fire on that until, I don't know, the publicity comes out of something. Sounds good. Can I, everyone needs to give that a fucking home. I get to release. I've actually funded also gotten in this. First of all, what Tim and Carlo have made is insane. I was there for a very small part of it. And, oh, you're coming back to do a little bit more. And I'm coming back to a little bit more if that's OK. But I've got something I would like to announce for any listeners who are in Auckland. |
| 3:44.4 | I've, I, the second month running, I've organized an event with one of my favorite cinemas in Auckland, the Capital Cinema on Dominion Road. And once a month. It's called You Would Love It with Gargren in once a month. I screen classic movies I've never seen, but people insist I would love because we host this podcast and people think I've seen a lot of movie. You haven't. And I've got huge gaping holes across my movie watching curriculum VT. You're catching up that. |
| 4:12.8 | I'm working really hard at it and as part of it, I've organized a monthly screening of a classic film |
| 4:18.4 | So in August I did the Wizard of Oz and can I just say how did that go fucking movie magic? Yeah, it was honestly |
| 4:25.2 | The fact that there was the first color film yeah, and then they buried the lead I know and it's not like the |
| 4:33.3 | It's not like from a historical standpoint. You're like this is the moment when it changed the colors like no |
| 4:37.8 | This is the second in the movie where everyone experienced that got a color. It was incredible and so there the way it was |
| 4:44.9 | So I choose the film and I screen it and I obviously haven't seen it so before it I write a little sort of 10 minutes |
| 4:50.6 | Stand-up set where I speculate about what the movie will be about |
| 4:55.6 | So I did the Wizard of Oz and next month in September on |
| 4:59.5 | It's the first Tuesday of every month so on Tuesday the 6th of September I'll be screening and this is actually podcast adjacent |
| 5:07.9 | The Terminator. Oh second starring the lesson on the father of the very famous Patrick Schwarzenegger |
