There’s trouble a-brewing in the Schwarzenegger dynasty. The boys wonder this week how their tattoos will fare in the coming months, as Patty is put on the national stage. Tim is called out on his tepid support for the anti-dementia energy bar magnate, and doubles down in response, pending Patty’s appearance in the upcoming season of The White Lotus. Guy brought a donut.

After a few days of playing incredibly fast and loose with his eating habits, Tim has come back to the stu to debrief with an infuriated Guy Montgomery and our Friend on the Phone, Nish Kumar. Tim has been challenging the idea that having kids makes you uncool by eating a diet that would kill a mortal man. Nish unpacks his status as a real “baby’s baby” and Guy recounts having an out-of-body experience during the tour to (literally) end all tours.

It’s a true family affair this week on FT, with the fellas taking questions on Did Titanic Sink, GMGMSBee and other members of the extended Worst Idea family. Somehow even more listeners are getting PhD; the same cannot be said for Guy, who has yet to be bit by the history bug that seems to eventually catch up with dads the world over. Tim, meanwhile, has undergone a different dad evolution and is ready to #unplug.

During this week’s Good Times, the fellas are thinking about relationships of all kinds. What ever did happen to Bennifer? (Lofleck? Jenjamin?) How long is right to spend at the bar with your mates? The ever-honest Guy Williams stops in early to crack into the thorniest relationship question of all: what is it that makes a group of men spontaneously break out into a podcast when spending time together?

Sometimes life just ain’t fair. Maybe your groundbreaking YouTube Red pilot doesn’t get picked up. Or your favorite podcasters opt for your ex’s suggestion of a bafflingly long-running blockbuster series to watch instead of yours. On the other hand, maybe you rushed an essay about Grown-Ups 2 and got an inexplicable grade of 135%. It could even be that you edited an episode of Family Time that was recorded a month and a half ago and just forgot to upload it until now, which isn’t relevant to life not being fair but did, in fact, happen.

It’s stifling in Auckland at the mo’ and Tim and Guy are doing a boiler set of their own this week. Guy’s been playing sports, Tim’s been betting on sports, and both are getting in on the ground floor of New Zealand’s burgeoning DJ/stand-up fusion scene, pioneered by the inimitable David Correos. David may have landed on CityFitness’s public enemies list, but the beat goes on.

Tim has survived a brush with airport security on the way back from Welly, and is here to debate the merits of small talk with Guy, which really flies in the face of small talk as a concept. The fellas keep circling back to a very versatile Word of the Day before hoisting their Davy lamps aloft and venturing further down the P-Schwartz rabbit hole.

In an episode that may be held against the boys should they ever be implicated in murder most foul, Tim and Guy discuss who they’d come to as an accomplice in hiding a body. Pride of Aotearoa, Alice Snedden, calls in from overseas to remove herself from the list and talk about lesbian artists, giving Guy a chance to flex his sophistication and impeccable allyship. Also, there’s a lot of IBS talk.

Like it or not, this year is gonna be all about SAND. Specifically, sand contained within a BOX. The moody set dressing of Good Times: Nights has given Tim a new attitude, and he is ready to declare 2025 the year of the adult sandbox. Guy, meanwhile, has been cowed by the short shrift given to his famously prominent cheekbones in the studio’s TWIOAT poster, and begins the year by reflecting on his losses.

It’s the Good Times season finale, and Guy and Tim have donned their rarest threads to send out 2024 the only way they know how, by harassing New Zealand treasure Ray O’Leary over the phone. The Mosh saga continues as the boys bang their heads against some of the baffling social media content the Mosh team has been serving up. Thanks for joining us for a year of good times!

We’ll see ya real soon,
