The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Two Jews, both big and tall, no subject, too small for the good guys. A mother's dream, premium podcast team, make it your weekly routine, it's a good guys. And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts? What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys. We're not the great guys. We're just so good a good guy.

Mazumaran's, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. Oh, Josh, let me talk to you about something. This is a huge problem that I am only experiencing on regional daytime flights. But Josh, why do they shut the lights in the cabin? Are you a lights off cabin guy? How often do you take a three-hour flight? Let's say it's at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I don't, I really, I don't mind.

I find in my older age, I'm getting sensitive to light in general. And so less light is almost always welcome. So you bring up an interesting point because I, too, am sensitive to those types of lights, right? Like at Dear Media, IRL, I was walking around shutting off all their lights. Something was happening to me or it was driving me insane. But on an airplane, Josh, when the lights are off, it means windows are closed. And I don't want to sit in a coffin for three hours at one o'clock. I feel like my body thinks it's time to go to sleep.

And then all of a sudden you get off the flight at four, you still have shit to do. I don't know. This really bothered me. And I wanted to bring it up to you. we're on different pages with it. But look, I, if it's during the day, I want the lights on. I want the windows open. Can you, uh, it's so, it's so hot up there.

There's no, there's no atmosphere up there, Ben. Yeah, it's hot. It's hot. It's, the sun piping into the, the window. I know, I know. I know. I know. I know, but I just, I like to be productive on planes and it being dark on a two and a half hour

flight, Josh, three hour flight, New York to flor. the light should be on. It's the middle of the day. Interesting. You shouldn't be napping. You have shit to do, Brad. Okay? You have shit to do, Karen.

Your boss, you're still on the clock. Open your fucking computer and get to work. You shouldn't be during the day. I don't know. It really bothers me. I understand. I do understand. No, I get it.

You do. Look, I don't mean to brag, but I finally have started a very deeply imperfect meditation practice. And... Oh my God. I'm so happy that you said that because I'm starting to meditate.

Somebody brought up to me the powers of meditation. They even gave me a doctor's name. Do you want me to tell you the doctor's name? A doctor of meditation? A doctor of meditation. His name is doctor. Doctor...

The fuck is his name. Doctor, breathe deeply. Doctor, let go of all your cares and worry. What is the name? It's important. It's important. It's probably not important. I'll find it.

Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, whatever. Yeah, there's a doctor of meditation. I will find him for you. Doctor of spiritual healing. Josh, tell me about this. And I'll just copy you. He'll be my guru. Can you imagine the Jewish father whose son goes dad?

I got my PhD. We're so proud of you, little Aaron. Oh, my God. What subject? You know, we're good at physics. us Jews. Did you get a PhD in physics? Better dad. Meditation. Yeah. Oh, they kill themselves. Cheryl? Put Sinaied in the Hagata cup. Spike my tuna salad sandwich so I can I can expire during my afternoon nap. Meditation. Just say you're gay.

Oh my God. Walk me through your meditation. Okay. Are you currently meditating or are you thinking about meditating? I meditate. And when are you meditating? Okay, when are you meditating? I am meditating.

You know, I'm basically not putting on restraints for myself. But I find that I'm getting to it a couple times a week. Usually if I can do it at the top of the morning. If I wake up, my kids are up at by around 6 a.m. So if I can get up by around 5.30, I sit in my living room. I have, you know, a nice chair that's comfortable. And you just try to be in a straight back chair with your feet on the ground and your hands. And, you know, just in a comfortable kind of, but like, you know, not slumped, just in a comfortable seated position.

You close your eyes and you breathe in deeply. How's my positioning? And then I'm going to breathe deep. Look good? You tell me, as long as you're comfortable. Yeah, I'm comfortable. Just not slumped. So you do want to be like slightly erect.

I'm as erect as I can be. Yeah, you sure are, babe. Yeah. You just want to be hands on your knees and in a natural sort of configuration and then take a deep breath. Was I supposed to hold her now? No, you can just let it out. Look, the truth is there's no wrong way. So you get the breathing going, right?

And then what you're going to notice, and here's the dirty secret of meditation, you're going to think, right? this isn't about emptying your mind. Maybe that's like the inevitable goal and that will happen for moments but the thought's going to creep in oh, I got to do this for Ruby. Claude needs this. I got to get back to this person.

You know, how's Jalen Brunson's sore ankle? Has it been healing? You know? Better be good. Yeah. Is it, you know, do I have a Jewish space laser meeting later? Like, do I have to call up the troops? I have to move it.

I have to move it. It was supposed to be creative. 3.30, I have to move it to Friday. Sure, of course. Yeah, no, we get it. Because I'm busy. I'm busy then. Yeah. You know, it's really something that they say that Jews control the weather and that Florida's so hot.

What a joke. What a fucking joke. Yeah, then we'd pick that level of humidity. I was so relaxed. In case you're not watching on Spotify like a fucking loser, I was just deep in meditation. Josh was in my ears. And let me tell you, Josh, you should really tell your agents, You should be on the calm app.

You have a great voice for meditation. Do I close your eyes? Let me talk you through a meditation. Breathe deep, Josh. You're going to experience some intrusive thoughts. But if you count out of order 7. 14. 72.

96. Perhaps those thoughts will not be as intrusive anymore. You are a big, beautiful man, Josh. You are confident. You are conscious of other. you are a whole being you are a string being you are so thin you are looking gorgeous Josh you are positive self talk is key Josh and chimed that was I was gorgeous okay here let me I'm gonna put you back in a meditative state no go

go back go back I don't want to say I want to do a body like this is what I find interesting right. Just take that deep breath. The intrusive thoughts do come. And what you do is eventually you become an observer of the thought. So it's like you're looking at the freeway, right? And then, oh, there's that thought about what I have to get to at work and just kind of see it. Don't judge it. Just let it fly by. Because you start to recognize that car. Oh, that car always comes by. just flying by. Ruby, Claude, me, this, that, now I want you to do a little body scan.

And I want you to see wherever you're holding tension. Where can you let it go? Now, people tend to hold tension in their jaw and their brow. Oh, okay. Now, like... Mine's really the shoulder. Take a deep breath. And don't look too deeply at my brows

because I have a gnarly pimple between them. Take a deep breath. Forget about that fucking bindi in between your eyes. And don't think about stridex or nutrigena or any kind of acne, salicylic acid, any kind of acne treatment. How? Why would I? Take that deep breath. Now, do you notice, is your tongue touching the roof of the roof?

your mouth. Oh, it's floating at the bottom. Good. It's good. See, this is what I find when I start to really, because I think I'm relaxed, but when I do a body scan, I go, I'm clinching. I'm clenching my jaw. My shoulders are up, but they're slumped. My neck is tight. The only place I clench, I clench up here and I clench my ass. Yes. Those are the only two places I really clench. Let it go, hon. Let it go. I know. I just like, I don't want to just like lose farts sometimes, you know, so you just want to. Got to listen. I feel like you've hypnotized me. I'm out. You've hypnotized me. No, dude, it's good. And so all the way back to our original discussion, I've been starting to employ that on planes. And it is. And that's the thing for me. I know meditation's going well when I start to fall asleep. And this is why I, I, people love guided meditations are awesome. For me, I find that when I, it's, it's, really working, their voice comes back and it wakes me up, right? Because what they'll do is they'll kind of ease you into something and then they'll

leave you for a minute or two. And then they'll be like, continue your breath. And I'll be like, shut up, Frank. I'm like, I'm meditating over here. They should know. AI should know that I'm now in a meditative state. They can leave me and go to the next. Oh, it's AI meditation.

No, it's not. But they should have that, no? I think, I feel like they probably do. You're eating a bar. It looked like you were whipping out a matchbook. I thought you were about to light incense. I was like, oh, this guy's prepped. I'm new.

You're saging the room. Wow. Look, I once did, I told you about this. I once did a sound bath. We went upstate, Connecticut, one of those bougie resorts. I did a sound bath, Josh. Have you ever done one of these sound baths? No.

Okay, you sit. There are other people around you and there's a guru. Okay? This is meditation, but with. Different levels of sound. They're these bowls, and they all emit different frequencies. And let me tell you, an hour passed, I thought it was three minutes. Wow.

Literally, I thought it was three fucking minutes. My brain was hearing the sounds all of a sudden, I woke up. And I went back to Claudia and I was just like, you're in the physical world. I'm in the metaphysical world. Sure. And I just can't relate to you anymore. Where I've been and where you are are two completely different places. because of the experience that I've just had.

And she told me then and there that if I ever did a sound bath again, she would divorce me. You are in a lot of trouble. Why? No, I'm kidding. She loved it. Could you imagine it? What would a Jewish sound bath be like,

you're a disappointment? You should get married. You're eating all that. Your breath stinks. They hate us They hate They always have They always will

Get ready to run That's so funny You can work with them But don't trust them Guyam Guyam Guyam Guyam Guyum Guyam Guyum Guyum Oh

Oh my God That's so good Oh my God Josh Oh boy This episode of the Good Guys podcast is sponsored by Zizal. What the hell was that?

Zizol. I'm sorry. Josh, I'm trying to say Zizol. It's as though my allergies heard you say Zizol and they got, they said I'm going to make a it's a protest. They said that they're going to flare up. Josh, did you forget to take your Zizol last night? Look, I told you. You're supposed to take it at night. Oh, why? Because

you have 20.4. Because you have 20. their highest when you wake up? Yes, so that you have 24-7 protection. You start at night. Josh, you start at night. Zizol starts working in as little as 45 minutes for a powerful 24-hour relief. Look, the truth is, it's relieving allergies while you sleep. So you wake up refreshed for a productive next day.

Do you have something against productive next days? I sure don't. How happy is your wife when you take Zizal? My wife, she doesn't even look at me anymore. She looks at the Zazol box and she goes, thank you. You know, she says, listen, these, these allergy symptoms he's having, he's having less sneezing, running nose, itchy, watery eyes, or itchy nose throat.

It interferes with my beloved's day. And by that she means, I want him to be able to do more with the kids. Absolutely. I just, you know, I'm not a big fan of my children. And the kids don't want to hear us. They don't want to hear us throat clearing all day. Josh, we take care of it at night. So we're great in the morning, Josh.

And you know what I have to say about that? Yep. Be wise all. Yes. At night. Take it at night. Take it at night. This is what it's designed for.

Ever heard? I like it, designer. Okay? It's designed for it. Designed for it. At night. Be wizal. Take zizol.

at night. Okay. What are we doing for Memorial Day weekend? I don't have... What are you doing? I have no plans. I should. But, you know, with like this many children,

it's like hard to plan anything. And going and going out, like going to, you know, whatever, like on vacation during Memorial Day, it's... I can't do it. I can't spend the money because I know everything's going to be jacked up like 5X. Yeah. That part doesn't bother me because we just are different like that. Like, you're spending on an experience during a time where you have time to take the experience.

Like, that part I don't think about. But especially on, like, those Mondays where if you have help, I'm sure they're off, right? Like, aren't you, if you don't do something, aren't you just going to be bored? Like, even if it's like a little staycation, even if it's like, that's what you'll do. There was this, I was listening to my favorite serious XM, which I love. I'm a big radio guy. and an ad came on the radio, Josh, and the ad was for, what is the name of it?

It was all about staycations. Resort pass maybe was the name of it. Sure. They have a thousand plus hotels on resorts app. And you can go, and for as little as $25, you can use the amenities of a hotel for the whole day. And then you get to walk in, and sure, you're paying for lunch or you're paying for the massage,

but you don't have to pay for the night. You don't have to be for the room. I think Olivia's fiancé worked for that. company for a while. She talked about it on the pod. There you go. I know it sounded familiar. And now it finally stuck. That's advertising, Josh. Sure is. You got to hear multiple times for it to stick in this freaking nagon. Sure, freaking is. And so yeah, you should find a local, beautiful hotel and just go to the pool, go to the beach, go get a massage, go do the whole thing. How young is too young for a massage? Max can't get a massage. It's too little. I do have a

memory in my head, though, Josh. As young as 10. Ben, can you? Can you imagine me? They should, if you book your seven-year-old for a massage, call CPS. I mean, you're like putting them on a, literally on a silver platter. Would you like to be in a brood with? I can tell you, Josh, at 10 years old, I got a foot rub. That was my first foot rub. My dad had this old waitress and she was trying to switch careers.

She was going from being a waitress to being a massage therapist. So she said to my dad, you haven't. anybody that I can trial on. He said, sure, you can trial on my family. He gave my dad a foot rub, my mom a foot rub, and me at 10. And let me tell you, she was a peach. I'm sure she hated rubbing my feet. Whoa.

But wow, what a dream that was. Totally free. Worth it. It was the best thing ever. Yeah, I'm trying to think of, yeah, we'll definitely do something. And I'm looking forward to that in a big, big way. And, you know, we didn't talk about it on. The last pot.

I mean, we intimated, but I was recently in New York over the weekend. Yes. I wasn't going to go alone because it was really a work trip because we had our first live podcast episode, which was incredible as a part of. It was incredible. Dear Media, IRL. What was it called? Dear Media at night.

Dear Media by night at night. Josh, can we quickly just, I think I told you in person, you were excellent. You were excellent. I think that we really thrived in that environment. I think we were better than here. I don't know. There was something about like the lights on. We were really good.

And we've done one of those before where it was in front of people that didn't know us. And it's very different. Like playing to a crowd that knows your schick, you know what will land automatically. Oh my God. To be a stand-up comic in a room of people that don't know you must be the worst thing ever. Like you don't know what to say. I knew exactly what to say. I knew it would make them laugh.

You knew it would make them laugh. laugh. Right. It was so fun. Yeah. Like that's, and that's in general too. Like, you just, that's why when, when someone's like a true comedian, they are on a different level because they're going out and grinding it out at a, you know, stand up club at 11 o'clock at night at the cellar with a bunch of people who are just going to eat them alive. Like that is. Yeah, they are. Unbelievable. Unbelievable and such a different talent. So, so different to make Joe. for people, you have no idea who's going to show up. You don't know your audience.

You don't know your crowd. Zero idea. And to make people laugh in that environment is very impressive. But we were, yeah, we were magic. And so it was part of, you know, shout out the great boss sticks through this wonderful event at Webster Hall. Historic. And at first it was the Skinny Not Fat podcast, which was wonderful. Surprise guest, Amy Schumer.

Yeah. That was crazy. That was crazy. Love Amy. The night was hosted by the wonderful, indomitable Taylor Strecker who, dear Osri Soffer family friend, now really Peck family friend. I mean, I just- She's the best.

Obsessed with her and her wife. Gorgeous. They're the best. Have you met her before? Yeah, with you a million times. Is that true? Yeah. When?

Um, there have been many times in New York. There have been a couple times. There's been, yeah, I've been at the U.S. Open. We were with her wife, Taylor. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I forgot that she also hosted that event for Vital Proteins, who never came back. What are you nuts? Wow.

Never came back. But yeah, okay, yeah, they're the best. Oh, they're the best. They're amazing. And it was great. So then we were the middle act. And so we were really the Toast opening act. But we had, look, having Amy Schuartner,

Summer special guest is in a league of its own, but we had a pretty pretty good league of our own. And our guests, tell the people how you introduced him. Everybody, please welcome to the stage. Zoran Mamdani and the crowd went silent. And then immediately, I was like, I'm just kidding. It's Joey Kamastin. They roared. And it was a risk that was rewarded.

It was the biggest pop of the night. Definitely. Oh, it was huge. It was, and he came on strutting his beautiful new Mujaro body that is like in a Canadian tuxedo, full denim tan, head to toe, toe to tail, and nose to tail. And he was so beloved. And what people didn't see was Amy Schumer is coming up the stairs to the green room as we're coming down to do our set.

And Joey goes, hey girl, thanks for opening for me. What did she say? She goes, no problem, babe. She was so cool. That's amazing. Oh, my God. That's amazing. Yeah, he's, he's unbelievable.

He's lost so much weight. I'm absolutely worried about him at this point. Me too. He told me he fainted. Did he show you the video? Yes. You saw it, right? So it's one of the craziest videos of all time of him fainting in his kitchen.

We have to describe it. So first of all, it was captured. on Joey's Furbo, which is a pet cam that he has for his sweet dog Piccolo. Oh my God. And he, maybe he'll let us show it on the pod because it is, you can watch it here. And now it's going to let us.

He's going to let us show it. He just showed it. He falls. He falls down from lack of eating, and then he kind of sits up and he seizes for a second. Then he grabs Biccolo, and he's looking around like, it's so crazy. Oh, my God. And he told me in person. He's like, I want you to know I used to be a big sweater.

I don't sweat. I go to the gym. I don't sweat. I'm like, I think Joey, we might have a problem here. He sweats. I felt his back. He told me. me he doesn't sweat.

You said, okay, if he sweats, then that's fine. Okay, that's good. That makes me feel better because you have to sweat. Of course. Sweating is very important. But if you're fainting, oh, yeah, yie. But boy, does he look good. He looks for him.

Good. His gorgeous boyfriend, the wonderful Billy was there, who's great. He's great, too. It was a red letter night. And Josh, the toast had us on for their marquee segment, Queenie and Weenie of the week. True. And just in case you didn't hear.

Just in case there's no beef. Right. The beef has been squashed. The running joke for multiple years, Josh, at our expense, is squashed. So, toast listeners, come on over. Come party with the good guys. We have enough toast listeners. We've scourged that.

It's done. That mountain has been summited. Totally. At least now we have Brad Williams vans. I know. Yes. All of them. Yeah, I think it was a wonderful New York getaway.

And I'm so glad because I was just going to go there for work. And then my wife was like, you know, my parents would be happy to watch the kids. Maybe we can make it into like a two-day getaway, which we never do enough. I don't know if we've ever done it. And since Max was born and it was so wonderful to be with her. And then her sister, Taylor, was like, well, then I should come to. And I said, never forget the romantic. getaway. No, it was the best. I love when she's with us. And then my wife and Taylor's best friend, Libby, came, and it made it even more perfecter. So we just had the best time running around in the city. And it was great for me because they wanted to do something. I don't want to do anything in the city. Let me tell you this, New York, I'm done with it. I'm done. I know. I'm over. As you should be. So it was nice for me to be like, you guys want to go down to Chinatown and look at jewelry? Great. You want to go to Midtown and go to the fancy shops? Great.

Whatever you want, I'll just tag along. And that's exactly what we did. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Hymns.

The only thing that New York still has, which it will always have, is great restaurants. And Josh, you ate a corner store. Did it live up to the hype?

I love corner store. I think the vibe. I think the menu. I think the martinis. I think Eugene Rem just did it again with that spot. It's so good. The vibes, as the kids call it, are immaculate. The great Ben Soffer, Mr. Connection got us a reservation for four,

an impossible reservation, some might say. I mean, we did go early at five, but you know that's when I like to eat. Yeah, me too. That's the best time. People are sleeping. Fab. Sleeping on it. So we ordered, so Libby and Taylor at first, and this will be my best bite of the week,

they ordered these espresso martinis in the waiter. He looks at them both. He goes, ladies, do you like peanut butter? They go, of course, we're American. Yes. Do you like peanut butter? Oh, I look like a carrying epipin? I love it.

He goes, because what I can do is, and it's often, I can make it a peanut butter, espresso martini. they go, we'd be crazy to say no. So they order it. They're going nuts for this. My wife, who is not a fan of espresso martini, took a sip, she goes, this is good. She had a martini.

Then we order a couple of things. The waiter looks at me, comes back five minutes and says, he goes, listen, I added a few things to round out your order. I go, God bless you, sir. This beautiful Dominican King, our, our wonderful waiter, beautiful guy. So first they bring a crudo, a nice little yellow fin, you know, beautiful thing going on first. Great. Hits of wasabi oil.

But then they bring a spinach hardichoke dip. Are you ready? With like these specially seasoned chips. Okay? Then they're bringing, they bring double fried fries with a sauce flight, three different sauces for the fries. Okay. Unbelievable. This is it.

This is the pinnacle. They have an elevated Totino's pizza roll type vibe. Okay? They're doing, they have a French dip. The meat melted in your mouth. It was almost, it was better than Passover brisket. It was unbelievable. And then we said, listen, we got to go where I'm, you know, I'm needed at Webster Hall.

I'm going on, you know, my call. He goes, you have 10 minutes. I'm going to whip up a little ice cream thing for you. He brings a Girl Scout cookie Samoa cookie Sunday. Ice cream Sunday. Knock your socks off. 10 out of 10. Unbelievable.

The place is so good. I'm so happy. It's such a great experience. My best bite of the week, Josh. Did you notice that something pretty cool happened at City Field this weekend? Did you happen to see on my Instagram stories? It's okay if you missed it. Yeah.

It's with the great Sprits aside. Tell me more. No, no, no. Shit. I didn't see it. That's okay. I tried to make a good guess. So last week, good guess, Josh.

Last week I went to City Fields. The MLB asked me to come. They said for the Subway Series, you're going to cook against a Yankee fan and we're going to judge the competition. Make something that's very New York, but make it ballpark themed. And Josh, I made Rubin nachos.

I cut up rye bread, I toasted, I did chop as yummy. I didn't see it. I didn't know you did it. I did it. It was your creation? Yes, I created. And they loved it so much at City Field, Josh, that they said,

Ben, do you mind if we make a boy with no job, Ruben Nacho stand at Cityfield this weekend for the Subway Series? That was my creation, my original invention that they served in helmets at City Field. I got tagged all the Adam Richmond, like, you name it, like these big food guys that went and tried it at City Field. They said it's a top five ballpark item they've ever had. What an honor. So describe it. Walk us down. Tell us about each ingredient.

Okay. So what they did because they couldn't do the rye bread. They did rye-dusted pita chips that are toasted. Fantastic idea. Layered with chopped hot pastrami, grilled onions. Oh, mine was from Second Avenue Deli. I think that theirs is from, where do they do it? Summer dead, I'm sure.

No, but it starts with an L. It's a very famous place. Langners? No, no. Shit, okay, but they have top-notch pastrami, Josh. They know what they're doing over there. steamed it, chopped it nice and small. That way it's kind of like when you have normal nachos.

You have like a sprinkling of ground beef or something. Okay. Then we layer on grilled onions, sourcrap, melted Swiss cheese that they melted into like a Swiss cheese whiz. I had done slices under the broiler. They did a Swiss cheese whiz, almost like a fondue. Topped with chopped pickles, topped with chopped chives, and drowned in Russian. And this, Josh, is insanity. What a turn on.

And it was so hot. I'm very proud of it. And that was my best bet of the week. Really fucking cool. You should be. That is so cool. Really cool. Did I get paid?

Good for you. No. I don't need to, Josh. Ragging nights. I'm paid in my heart. This is somebody sent me a picture. They're like, I just got your Rubin nachos. Ha-ha.

Royalties for you. I'm like, please. What do you mean royalties for me? But I hope you enjoyed. It's really cool. Yeah. It's like me. when someone says he just saw a Drake and Josh episode.

Marco, royalties. You're like, cool. You're like, thanks, man. It's great. My royalties are with Nancy Guthrie.

Where is she? I miss her bad. Fuck, dude. I'm so sorry. That sucks. No, it was great. I don't need anything.

I loved it. It's so cool. So fucking cool. It's true. Certain things like that, like, shout out Steve Cohen. Shout out the Mets organization.

Things like that are worth doing. Like I got hit up and I actually need to follow up. But Harvard Law School was like, you want to come speak? And I was like, for sure. They were like, we don't do fees, you know, historically. We just don't do that. But like, well, you know, put you up and whatever.

And I was like, oh, no, I want the bragging rights. It's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it. I got to hit them back up. It probably can't happen now. But it would be cool. I'm sure that it can happen and it would be really, really cool.

You should absolutely do it. The last thing I have to say is staying in New York, being there for this beautiful weekend, I stayed at this hotel. And you know me, I'm a, I'm a Bonvoy boy. I'm a Spring Hill Suites. I'm a man of the people. But sometimes you stay at a five-star hotel, you go, this is nice. I stayed at the fine.

You know, this hotel? I know it's Miami. And this is five-star, six-star, seven-star. top-frikin notch. I didn't even know that they had one in New York. He stayed at so early. Oh my God. This place, it's in Chelsea. It's on 18th Street. It is the best hotel I've ever stayed at New York, bar none. So beautiful. First of all, it looks like it's giving high-end, classy Alice and Wonderland vibes because the, the bellman are wearing top hats, okay? But it's chic. It's a fucking cool dog.

And so we get there, I walk into the room, they have a card printed with the good guy's symbol on it because they knew. They knew this was a special weekend for us. And this is the bad, first of all,

the room was beyond. They have a place called the living room there, which was super cool, which is like an after hours, like a bar lounge type thing with great performers and DJ. The next day, I come back and I get provisions

from my wife and I from CBS. What do I get? I get a nice big, tall boy ghost energy for me, and I get a cutesy-wutzy Celsius Kiwi Guava for my queen. She likes one flavor and one flavor only. So we meet in the lobby. We're waiting to grab a cab, and we're talking to a wonderful person from the concierge team. And she's like, oh, I love Celsius too, and I love an energy. We leave.

I come back a couple hours later on ice in the room, four energy drinks, two for me, two for my wife, Kiwi Guava, and the blue. sour patch kids, ghosts, because I'm a six-year-old, a ghost energy drink for me. And, and she goes, and I know you have a little bit of a sweet tooth. Nerds clusters in a beautiful jar waiting for us. Oh, my God. You're kidding? No, that is, that is next level thoughtful service.

Attention. That's what you get. And by the way, you don't always get that at a five-star hotel. Sometimes you just get a beautiful hotel, but they're missing that. Right. you just got, that's the fucking dream. A and P. That made your stay a 10 out of 10. Above and beyond. Faina. Above and beyond. If we have a girl, I'm naming her that on my fourth. Faina. Fina. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Momentus. Folks,

Folks, we need to get over this hurdle. Okay? Everybody assumes that GLP-1's cost a fortune. Did you do any research, by the way? Did you even Google? I bet you if you Google, cost-effective options for GLP-1s, Rope pops up first, okay? First, look, I don't even know what to say anymore, okay?

If you do your research and you know, it's not always expensive and sometimes it's covered by insurance but even when it's not it's still more accessible than people think and let me tell you they work wonderfully these glp ones have completely changed my life i get i get written by people all the time last night i got a beautiful moron mail submission this girl was telling me she was afraid of going on glp ones she heard me talking about it with row and it made her think maybe i should do this too she's lost 30 pounds and she's She's never felt better.

R.O.com slash safety. Josh, you want to do a more on mail quickly? Yeah, but really quick, I have a good story too because there were a couple. Please. Good. Well, the truth is, and this is from, you guessed at the New York Post, Trader Joe's new gummy worms are making shoppers run to the bathroom, but not for the reason you'd expect.

Forget prune juice, a Trader Joe sweet treat is the new, unexpected, laxative shoppers are learning about the hard way. The beloved grocery stores, new sugar-free, sweet and sour gummy worms contain 14 grams of fiber per eight pieces, a single serving. To put that into perspective, the amount is roughly half of the record, amended daily value, so you can imagine the effect it's having on people. The worst part is that the gummy worms, which were released this month, are not marketed as a fiber product.

Those that are like Mira fiber gummies have only 8 grams of fiber per four pieces, and Meta Musil has five grams of fiber per serving of three gummies. Hell, this is, they made this sound bad. No, by the way, this is a dream. Dream. You're eating gummies and you're having gummies and you're having. a lot of fiber. They made a way to spin it. Oh, I'm sorry that Trader Joe's didn't market that there was too much good stuff in there. Okay? A fibrous gummy there? Wonderful. I've had that said,

look, you got to be careful with these diet gums. If you see a sugar-free diet gummy, I've mentioned it before the Malatol, all this stuff. I've had a company, shameless, I think, is the name of one of them. They also have like 35 grams or something so high in fiber. And yes, if you have too many of them, you're going to get the shits. But by the way, that's better than eating something that's 10 times the calories and not getting the shit. Right. Okay? They're helping you.

If you're going for the sugar-free candy, it means you have a problem anyways. And now you've one less problem. You dutied today. Mazel Tov. Yes, take a page out of Ava Sofer's book. Diarrhea is good. Diarrhea is good. It's great.

It's excellent. Oh, you met my parents this weekend. You met them. I had the honor of meeting the wonderful sophers who really went above expectation. and I go in to hug the great Mr. Bruce Soffer, and as we all know, I do his voice, as it sounds to me in my head, which is a mix of an old Jewish man in shack.

And I always say, Benjamin, would you like some vodka sauce? I'm outside your place. And I have a small 90-ounce mason jar of vodka sauce. I should leave it with your dormant. All right, you let me know, Gizekison. So I go in and I hug the beautiful Bruce with this gorgeous set of hair and he goes, so you get to hear the voice in real life, huh?

And I look at him and I go, pretty close, huh? And he goes, not really. He was awesome. And Avo is just a beautiful parent. And your sister I got to me. Very lucky. You got to be my sister too. Very lucky.

I'm very lucky. Here's one more from the California Post, not the New York Post, the California. Just that weird. Suckerfish observed swimming in Manta Rays rear ends could impede pooping. They're sticking it with a sun ray don't shine. These fish are heading up right into some Manneray rear ends. That's right. This lead ecologist said, so I guess basically suckerfish are riding down the rear ends of Manta rays.

And all I got to say is call me a suckerfish, dog. Pete, can I call you my manteree? Because I'm trying to eat that ass. They must not know, Josh, they don't have social constructs. Right? So like hanging out in an asshole, whatever. Yeah. Right?

Like if we didn't, if somebody didn't tell us that it was weird, it would smell so we wouldn't do it. But down there, it's not smelling. Right. They can't smell. Right. You can't smell underwater, can you? Maybe the suckerfish is just an influencer.

are in manta rays are like a really cool brand. Yeah, they're just trying to get in there. Totally. I'm in. I'm in, Josh. The manta ray is fashion nova. And the suckerfish is, you know, I was going to name a couple people. Nikki Minaj.

A moron mail? It's terrible. Yes, yes. Moron Mail has been on fleek, as the kids say. Do the kids still say on fleek? Sure. I think so. I think I made it sound weird.

Good Guys Podcast 1 at gmail.com. We're getting great stuff. We need more of it. This is a good one, Josh. Hi, guys. I've been a fan of your show for years. My question is, what are your thoughts on companies

monitoring employee online activity? A few years ago, I worked at a company that introduced a mentorship program where newest employees on teams had to screen share and someone would watch their work all day for weeks at a time. It was presented as a way

to develop new hire skills while also training managers. As a newer hire, I had to participate in on Honestly, it drove me completely insane. At one point, I was clicking through something, and the person monitoring me commented that they heard my mouse clicking twice and that using keyboard shortcuts for that task would be, quote, more efficient.

That level of scrutiny went on for weeks and became incredibly stressful. I eventually complained about it and ended up leaving the company for multiple reasons. Fast forward to now, I'm looking for another remote job, and I keep hearing that things like click tracking, productivity monitoring, and constant screen sharing have become more common. What do you think of this trend? Sincerely Big Al. It's because people aren't going to work. Because you're not in the office, right?

I think she must have left out the part. She has to be a remote worker. Right. Has to be. And then it sucks, but you're home. Like, this is the tradeoff. But like, if you're a big company and you're hiring somebody that you're never going to see, it's hard.

How do you trust? them. Right. So I don't know, Josh, but you're right. Yeah, she has to be a work

from home person. It still sounds like a horrible way to work. You know, like the great, the great Brian, who I worked with, who was an executive

on my cooking competition show, I love him. And this was an open secret. He wouldn't try to hide it. But, you know, he's a TV exec who would have

to take, you know, calls, long Zoom calls all day. And he just took them walking because he's, like I just can't, and I would be the same way. But I think that is a great sort of way to take advantage of working from home, right? It's not distracting you from being on a call, right? Totally, but it's not taking advantage.

Like that is just, you're not, if you're not needed in front of a computer, no problem, but it depends on your job, right? Like, if your job is managing spreadsheets, it's Excel. Like, you need to be working and you're not at your desk. You can't possibly be doing your job. So in your example, for sure, calls, a calls a call, whether you take it walking on the treadmill, on the beach, in the Bahamas. It doesn't matter as long as you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. But there are some jobs, which I think this person must just be in if they're managing their clicks and like it must be a computer heavy job.

Sure. And so if you don't like it, you should probably find a different job. So that's still, it's not fun. but it doesn't sound like you picked a fun profession. I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm sorry. Good job.

Picking something crappy. Do you have any other moron now? I'm sure we do. Yeah. Let's see what these. Let's see. It was so great being in person to meeting the moron. So truth is we'll probably never do a live podcast.

I mean, maybe we'll find a mall in northern New Jersey and do one in August. Maybe. But other than that, we're never doing them. So. Okay. this was a great one. Hi, Josh and Ben. I saw a clip of good guys where you were interviewing Spencer Pratt. When will this episode come out? Thanks, Amy. It came out, Amy. What are you nuts? A quick Google search would get that. Good guys, Spencer Pratt. Okay? What do you nuts? Josh, honestly 90% of it is just like that.

No. We're recommending. Yeah, and stop recommending where, look, I know I mentioned one time that there's a lack of flavored coffee. Don't use the submission for flavored coffee. DM me. It's a, It's all flavored coffee. Ben, try this coffee, Ben try this coffee. Ben try this coffee. Crazy. This happened during our live event. And again, we love every single, every single moron. Yes. But we gave the caveat. We said, we're going to do a moron mail. Then we're going to go to the audience. And we said, if you need some advice, make it juicy and make sure it's good. And otherwise, maybe don't put your hand up. Correct.

First woman goes, I flew here from Boise. Good one, right? We said, ma'am, that's incredible. But I'm not sure it's going to light up the crowd. She also put us between a rock and a hard place. Like I said, thank you so much. That is so nice. It's not more on mail. That's not more on mail.

Right. It's just not. It's great. But the next girl understood the assignment. She said, I have a boyfriend. I really love him. He sweats the bed. And he is trenching our bed every night.

I call him Little Niagara. And so what do I do because I want to marry this guy? But I mean, it's soaking the bed at night. We said this we can help with. Yes, we can help with this. First and foremost, how big is your husband? And it turned out that he was a big boy. So look, you just got to make it freezing.

I sleep in, we now sleep in 68. If it was up to me, I'm sleeping in 64. We sleep in 68. And I don't sweat at all. I'm great. Or get a chili pad. Proud sponsor the Good. guys. But like for real.

No, really, get a chili pad. That's exactly what it was designed for to keep you cold. Yeah, it goes under. It's like a mattress topper, but it keeps you nice and cool. And you can do temp control. It's beautiful. Gosh, this is the, this is what 2026 is about in Vensions like the Chili. Sure is. Yeah, what are you nuts? I do.

Our Woody Nuts moment of the week are gripes of people, places and things, both big and tall, whatever, stick it in your craw. I'm a big fan of the Pope. You like the Pope, Ben? Sure. I think so. Do I like the Pope? Pope Leo?

I don't think I know enough about him. I'm sure. I like all popes. The Pope. No. Some of them are not so good. Some popes I like. Some popes I don't like.

But he's sure. Pope Francis, the last Pope, pretty progressive, wonderful Pope, really pretty beloved, Argentinian, wonderful, beautiful. The newest Pope. Pope Leo is from Chicago. First American Pope ever. I do. I do. I do.

I do. It's beautiful. So they show him. And, you know, the Pope, you know, the Pope goes. to these events and he kind of walks down these huge parades of people and people will stick their kids out which I would do this with Meyer I would I would just be like don't say a Jewish Meyer I would and then someone from the security team takes the baby and he blesses the baby and it's beautiful and what an honor right because I just think you know it's it's it's a lovely ceremonial thing so the pope is walking by and he

stops to talk to this guy and these kids and I don't know what they were saying it in an Italian or in French or what, but the guy says to the kids, have the Pope do six, seven. And Pope Leo's like, what? And they're like, like this, Pope Leo. And so Pope Leo goes, uh-huh. And they all go, uh-oh. Oh, my God.

You're meeting the Pope, and this is what you ask? What are you nuts? Nuts, nuts. And by the way, Pope Leo pretending he doesn't know what six-seven is. He knows. He knew. He follows Trisha Paitis. He knows.

He absolutely knows. He knows what's trending. My Woody and Nuts moment, it's very sad. I don't know if you've seen this before, but nannies mocking the kids that they're nannying. I saw a nanny, Josh. This is terrible. And look, she's annoying for sure, probably six years old. She's crying.

She goes, I want my mommy. And the nanny goes, I want my mommy. And I was just like, what are you fucking nudge? Nuts. Are you crazy? That's not how you, it's not how you parent kids, nanny kids. It was horrible. And like, I wish I could have, there's nothing to do. Like, I'll never see them again. I'll never see the parents. I don't know anything. But it just made me think, like how many, I really hope that the nannies out there are better than that if they pick the profession of watching kids, mocking kids. It was a huge, what are you nuts and I felt terrible. It made me feel really icky inside. I didn't like it at all. Good for you.

I didn't like it at all. You know what I did like, Josh? And you know what everybody should like doing, giving this episode five stars. Otherwise, what are you nuts? Listen to us wherever you get your podcast, watch us on YouTube, watch us on Spotify.

Spotify video through the roof. I don't even know what through the roof means, but I'm just telling you, everybody's watching. Everybody switch over to Spotify, Josh.
