The Worst Idea Of All Time

This episode isn’t just sponsored by MOSH, it’s FUELED BY MOSH. Free yourself from your imagined barriers with MOSH.

Today’s we’re blessed to be joined by Alice May Connolly who has been traveling the familiar Paint-n-Sip to Therapy pipeline recently. We talk familial death, a brilliant forthcoming NZ horror film called Weed Eaters and a worm with

The studio strains to contain the combined star-power of the guy from all those mayo ads and NZ’s one-time family Quordle champion. Heavy are these boys’ heads under the yoke of fame. What do your legs think of your back? What instruments do the boys yearn to learn? WHAT is Guy Montgomery’s starting Wordle word? Two of these are discussed (the latter turns into more of an interrogation).

It’s a Thursday in Auckland, and you know what that means: Autumn is upon us. Or maybe Spring. Tim is pioneering a new way of assigning seasons to days of the week, and Guy has some opinions. Kura Forrester, fresh off the release of Bryn & Ku's Singles Club, is gearing up for a living arrangement at MICF that has genuine sitcom potential, which the boys relate to the only way they know how: by trying to figure out which one is ...

Hey buddy, we’re not gonna give you the runaround: what we got going on here is a cult. Down the hall to the right is gonna be the robe closet, offerings can be made through this Venmo QR code here, the wifi is on the cork board in the kitchen. Director Montgomery will present the Word of the Day after lunch. Unfortunately, Director Batt is currently laid up due to a roller blading injury that no-one could have seen coming.

Check your weather app; it’s Family Time! (Unless you’re currently in Adelaide, South Australia, in which case check back in half an hour.) In an unprecedented mailbag move, Tim and Guy answer questions asked LESS THAN A WEEK AGO (at time of recording). Make sure to reach out, or else the boys will soon be answering questions that have yet to be asked. Discussed this week are a Groundhog Day challenge, appreciation for Jon Lovitz, ...

The Good Times boys have been rolling the hard six. Guy has been gambling on some new material in front of the Australian masses while Tim has been conducting an unprecedented sweep in his sports-betting league (and has taking away all the wrong lessons). The continuing gamble of having someone who is tattooed on your body re-enter the public spotlight has the fellas feeling all sorts of ways.

Listeners are taking matters into their own hands, whether it be taking inspiration from Guy to start a hat embroidery project, embarking on a Worst Idea-style wager of endurance with their mates, or, in the case of Luigi Mangione, producing their own fan-season of Killionaire.

The Family faces their greatest threat yet as adrenaline junkie Tim Batt is unleashed upon the mean streets of Auckland. After passing his restricted (on the first go), Tim is raising hell across Aotearoa (between the hours of 5am and 10pm, or past 10pm with a supervisor in the passenger’s seat.) Meanwhile, the wily Guy Montgomery, the brains of the operation, furthers his sinister goals of routing the Family’s best minds in the co...

Guy has found New Eden in Adelaide, South Australia. Tim is resting, dragon-like, on his horde of downloaded media in Auckland. On both sides of the Tasman, eyes are turned towards the comeback kid, P. Schwartz, as he takes the screen for S3 of White Lotus (except for Tim, who hasn’t gotten around to it yet.) Our eternal sponsor, Random Word Generator, brings us the most kiwi edition of Word of the Week yet.

Settle into your own sensory deprivation tank and let this week’s episode of Good Times bounce back at you from its walls. It’s a lovely summer day and the boys have just emerged from a swim, coming to sans shirts to talk contests, claims, and cashing in on failed outsider political campaigns. Michael Hing is on the line this week with an upcoming show about dead billionaires and a bold new rebrand for adult diapers. It’s a good on...

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...

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 an...

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.
