**Jon Calhoun:** He's like, "What is this long-distance call?"
**Mat Ryer:** I'd be like "Are you Jon Calhoun's uncle?" "Yeah." "It's me, Mat!" What would he do? Should we do it now?
**Jon Calhoun:** I don't think that's a good idea. \[laughter\]
**Mat Ryer:** Okay, well... We need to do a -- next week we'll get ready; we'll do a new regular section, Phoning Someone's Uncle. And we'll just phone up an uncle and see what's going on. Uncles usually have the most interesting views, and some very unpopular opinions...
**Jon Calhoun:** I was gonna say, based on where I live, I have no idea what type of unpopular opinions I might get from uncles... So that could be scary.
**Mat Ryer:** In your dystopian Netflix village.
**Jon Calhoun:** Pretty much. Alright, Mark, Ben - thank you for joining us. Mat, thank you for hosting with me.
**Mat Ryer:** Pleasure.
**Jon Calhoun:** Sorry for the poor intro...
**Mat Ryer:** It's alright.
**Jon Calhoun:** We'll get it right sometime.
**Mat Ryer:** Nah, it's better like this.
**Mark Sandstrom:** Yeah, thanks for having us.
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, thank you so much.
**Ben Kraft:** Thanks for having us.

**Mat Ryer:** Hello! Welcome to Go Time, a very special edition, live from GopherCon EU 2022 in Berlin. Say hello, everyone! \[applause\] Okay, so the purpose of the game is -- what we've done is we've asked a hundred gophers lots of questions, and the two teams here have to guess the top answers that were given. So an...
\[04:11\] We're gonna take turns, we'll do a face-off to start with, and this is where a team captain from each team will have a guess, and the one that gets the best answer takes control of the board. We will then round robin through the team, and they'll have the opportunity to guess the answers. But be warned... You...
Now, throughout the game there's no conferring, unless you're working as a team to steal. So it's important that you answer independently. We haven't got time to meet the team, but... You know, just look at them.
**Jerod Santo:** Well, we have time now, so I will introduce them. Team Zero is GopherCon organizer and Go Time panelist Natalie Pistunovich. Ronna Steinberg, who is an engineering manager at Delivery Hero, a Google Developer expert, a Women Who Go organizer, and Go Time's Unpopular Opinion Hall of Famer.
And Robert Burke. Robert has avidly played with Go for fun since 2009, and lately gets to do it for work, which he finds terribly exciting. His talk at GopherCon was called "Stream processing end-to-end with Go.
Team One is comprised of V Körbes, an international speaker, Dev Rel extraordinaire, occasional writer, and Best Hair Award recipient. Tamir Bahar, an advanced technologies team lead at JFrog, who gave a talk on Generating Generators, and Konrad Reiche, a software engineer at Reddit, who works for the ranking platform ...
And... Mat Ryer. He's also there. Back to you, Mat...
**Mat Ryer:** Okay, so who's gonna be the team captain for Team Zero?
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Who wants to be our captain?
**Mat Ryer:** Natalie, okay. And for Team One?
**V Körbes:** Hello!
**Mat Ryer:** Okay. Okay, so Natalie, we'll start with you. I want you to have a guess. The first question is "Where is the first place you turn for Go knowledge?"
**Natalie Pistunovich:** The internet.
**Mat Ryer:** "The internet", okay. You say "the internet." Gophers say... \[win alert\] Yes, it's on the board, top spot. Okay, so V, I'm afraid you don't even get a chance to guess; they've taken the board, you can't beat them.
**V Körbes:** I was gonna say it's your DMs...
**Mat Ryer:** Well, hang on there, because you might give these ideas... \[laughter\]
**V Körbes:** Oops!
**Mat Ryer:** Okay, Robert, it's your turn. Have a guess. See if you can get one of these. You've got 25 points already.
**Robert Burke:** Where is the first place you turn to for Go knowledge...? Package.go.dev?
**Mat Ryer:** Okay, the Go Docs maybe. Gophers Say... \[win alert\] Yeah, we have. Oh, Go.dev specifically. Well done, Robert, and that's the second answer. Okay, Ronna.
**Ronna Steinberg:** My guess is going to be Ardan Labs... I'll be specific.
**Mat Ryer:** Ardan Labs. Gophers say... \[fail alert\] I'm afraid not now, although it is an excellent resource. Okay, one life down. Natalie, your turn. As quick as you like, Natalie...
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Reddit.
**Mat Ryer:** I just should say, Go.dev specifically was the answer, not the general one that I gave you. It's not a clue but what's your answer?
