Good Guys - Josh and Helen REUNITE! with Yvette Nicole Brown

Episode Date: November 4, 2024

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Good Guys and Gals… Do we have a show for you! Today we’re joined by none other than the incomparable Yvette Nicole Brown, AKA your favorite movie theater manager on Drake and Josh AND Miss Shirley on the hit comedy Community. Yvette shares what it was like on set working with a young Josh Peck, their relationship, her disappointment during Josh’s years of using, and *just* how little she made working on the hit Nickelodeon show. Yvette lets us in on what she’s doing instead of partying (Hint: It’s Legos) and according to Ben, gives the BEST advice to our callers via Speakpipe. Remember folks - you’ve gotta kick sugar to keep the feet! We laugh, we cry, we do improv, and *perhaps* even reenact one of the most iconic scenes from the show. It was truly a gift to have Yvette on the show, and essentially, this timeline is the happy version of A Star is Born. Hope you enjoy, love ya morons! What are you nuts?!  Leave us a voicemail here!

The following podcast is a dear media production. I'm Josh Peck. And I'm Ben Sopper. And we're the good guys. There's a lot of guys out there. And we're the good ones. Mazumorans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I'm sitting here with a person who's endorsed by nine out of ten health care professionals

and the 10th one's anti-Semitic. It's Ben Sopper. And I am here with literally somebody that we've wanted to have on the podcast for so long, Yvette Brown. You don't even know what you're doing for us today. What? Today, folks, we have Helen and Josh. Josh literally never lets us talk about Drake and Josh.

And that's all we're going to do today. That's all we're going to do. So folks, welcome to the movie theater. I'm crazy Steve. Let's get going. Oh, wow. This is exciting. You never let them talk about Drake and Josh?

No, we talk about it. He hates it. He hates it. No, this is good, though, because you know why? Yvette, you were paid and Josh just just wasn't. Trust me, I was not paid. Yvette was not paid. I was definitely not paid.

Are you kidding me? nothing? There are no residuals for adults either? I mean, it's allegedly, it's like maybe $20 or something. Like, it's not, you don't get anything? That guest starts getting residuals, right? Do you don't get anything? Oh, it's a big donut. It's a bagel. Oh, that's a shame because they air that crap like crazy. But I will say this, it took me probably 10 years before I got anything because they prepay. There's some weird, you probably have talked about it on the pod, but we signed a contract not with Nickelodeon directly. We signed a contract with, I can remember the name of the company. and then that company would then pay us money,

but you basically agree to that company that they're going to, whatever they pay overscale, they get to eat up in residuals until you eat it up. And so I finally, after 10 years, got to the point where, and I wasn't getting that much overscale,

trust me. But it took about 10 years before I would start seeing $20 or $30. Oh, wow. Yeah, you've seen nothing. That's, I would sue. Can I? I think you can.

Ben, I don't know if we can, but I'm down. No, but I mean, that's ridiculous. because they run that show to this day, like crazy. Oh, yeah. I've made my piece with it. And by that, I mean, I'm on a lot of antidepressants. Oh, that's so upsetting.

Yeah. What can you do? It's just, it is interesting that they did get, they got us at a bit of a bargain. I'll say, especially you guys. I mean, you, I only did, I think, 14 or 15 episodes total. People think I was on every episode. I was not. That was your power.

That's how good. That really, that says a lot about who, you are, how beloved your character was, and just how talented you are. Thank you, Fran. You were, it felt like you were a cast member on every episode. Yeah, you know, it's funny. If I get stopped on the street, I think I get stopped for Drake and Josh more than anything, even more than community.

People still love Helen. And I'm like, it was 15 episodes, you know, 20 years ago, but yeah, they still, they still love the old girl. For me, it's Turner and Hooch. It's weird. Is it really? People don't really. No.

No way. No way. No way. They don't love Tray and Josh. They certainly don't. I don't know Turner and Hooch. I'm not good Disney Plus days. I'm not good in a duo.

I think you realized. As a consumer, I can say Helen was just iconic. Thank you. And really the relationship that the two of you had on that show, the movie theater was just like, it was the best. Like that was the laughs were nonstop. I was going to ask, what was it like working with a young Josh? You know what's so funny. Every time I see, I'm almost like close to a tear every time.

my sear-a-low face because one, Drake and Josh was the first or second thing I did that was actually something that endured beyond like one episode or something. And I had done a pilot before. I did two episodes of girlfriends, a pilot that I didn't know was going to become a show. And that's why one episode, Helen's not there because the show got picked up and I had to go and do it.

I told you a story before, right? Oh, well, tell the story because I was going to say that there is, if people want to do a deep dive, there's an episode with a Helen. That's not me. That's not Helen. That's not Helen. Frances Collier played Helen for one episode. She's awesome, too.

She is amazing. It's really funny. So I booked this show called The Big House, which was Kevin Hart's first sitcom. We did the pilot, and then I, in between that pilot being shot, I booked Drake and Josh. So I came to do my, what was supposed to be one episode of Helen, she was just going to do one guest star. And then they decided they wanted to bring Helen back. By the time they wanted to bring Helen back, the Big House had gotten picked up. And I thought I was about to be on an ABC show and I wouldn't be able to get away.

So they ended up recasting Helen because they needed her. in the show. So new Helen is there. And then by the time they wanted to bring Helen back for the third time, Big House had been canceled. So we did six episodes and were canceled. So then I was free again. And that's how I was able to come back. So that's the Helen saga. God bless the cancellation. Oh, good. And a young Joshie. What was that like? Okay. So the thing about a young Josh Peck is that he has always been, don't look, I don't look at you while I say this. I'm going to look at the camera. He's always been very talented, very professional, an old, old man. He's always been an old old man. So we were just talking out in the lobby about it. Me and Josh, it was my really kind of the first thing I ever did,

and you had just been in Hollywood just a little bit of time. And so we have never been Hollywood. To this day, we're not Hollywood. We're in it, but not of it. So we would see shenanigans on set and tantrums and people acting up in a thousand different ways. And me and Josh, he's like 12, and I'm 28, 29, 30. And we're like, I don't know why they're misbehaving in this way. We just never were in on the Ballyhoo, you know, for the most part. And so every time I see you, I'm so proud of you of the man that you've become, you've never changed. You've always had just a heart of gold and been just the sweetest person, which is so funny that Helen hated Josh so much. But, you know, Yvette loved Josh.

Like, you're just lovely. Well, you're a little gum drop. You're the greatest. And truthfully, it needs to be said that there were two cases on Drake and Josh. I remember of characters who came on, who became in an instant. And it really, look, inevitably, it's like words or words. And especially when you have the core cast of a show, these people have been, you know, really, there's been basically like a surgery done to these characters where it's like every nuance has been worked out.

And, you know, all the creatives have figured out exactly what your sparkle is and how to integrate that into the character. A guest star, you kind of don't know what it's going to be, right, the first time around. Absolutely. And it was you and Jerry Traynor. Jerry Traynor. Crazy Steve. So good. We did literally take one and they were like, give them all the parts. Like done.

And there were plenty of people who came and did a nice job with their two scenes and then they didn't come back. Yeah. But you and Jerry Traynor, they were like, gotcha. It was so great.

I'm a model and influencer and a new mom who's not afraid to be open and honest or challenge the status quo. I may know what I'm doing in front of the camera, but parenting is all new and there's a lot I want to learn. Every week on this season of Milk Drunk

We'll get real with trusted experts, parents, friends, and more to learn together and support each other with empathy and humor on this wild ride called Modern Parenting. So check your parental guilt and anxiety at the door, because I got you. Make sure to tune in every Tuesday and follow so you don't miss a feeding. I mean, any of the action. Milk Drunk is brought to you by Bobby, the only mom founded and led organic infant formula company

who was evolving the conversation around feeding. I remember there was the scene where you, you come in and you said, when I said, give me a hot dog, and you say, do you want me to put mustard on it? I'll never forget your line reading because it was sober. You want me to put mustard on it? It's not going to put mustard on itself. And that, for me, was when it clicked, that these two were going to be nemesis and it was going to be really funny. And, you know, I think that you and I had a lot of chemistry. So it was really great. When did you, now you were also, and I remember because we were like, we were our own little buddy comedy on set. Yeah. And then Josh lost about a hundred pounds.

and his mind. And I was on a funny island. And we call it cliche island. And Yvette was, you know, was perfect, but was the kind of person that was not going to hide her disapproval. I was very disappointed. Because, no, because you had been my little gumdrop and you had been my steady and my buddy.

And, you know, I, the thing is, I was scared for you. Like, I was scared. I was scared that this Hollywood beast had gotten you. And I felt like, you know, what was beautiful about you has always been your heart, right? And I felt like you were losing the connection to what made you special. And not that you have to be anything for me

or for anybody else, but I felt like you had already withstood so many of the other things that this business tries to do to you. And I just was like, oh, come on, baby, come back. Like, don't let this take you away. And so I always felt like your mind. mama. And so I just felt like there were a couple of times where I was like, let me just kind of peek in and see if I can see if he's still in there and kind of tell him, you know,

I think we had one blow up on set. It didn't hurt. My feelings were hurt. I was hurt. Because you spoke to me in a way that I never, my sweet little baby never would have said, and I can't even remember what it was about. I really don't remember. But I just remember I, and in fairness, I had overstepped my bounds because I wasn't your mother. And I had said something to you like, you know, like, what are you doing or I can't remember what it was. And you, you told me that listen here. And I was like, well, damn. The baby then told me what the, you know, so I had a moment where I was just like,

and that's when I was, that's when I knew that it was time for me to let you be who you were. And if you were going to come back, you would. And you did. You found your way back. So, yeah. Well, thank you. And I, I think at that time, how I, Ben, Ben looks like he's going to need therapy after this.

I would watch that movie. No, what do you mean? I don't need therapy? That is fucking, that is beautiful. Do you understand, Josh? the rise and fall and then the rise again and Yvette is there and it's just there is something to pitch. I don't I know it?

This is like the happy version of a star is born. We're literally suing Nicolodeon taking that money and self-funding this production. This will be funded by Nick. I, you know, and I look back at that time and while I'm not like proud of acting like a total cliche or out of pocket, as the children say, or just not being myself.

I also look at that time of being like, that was really from 17 to 21, where kids are especially stupid. Yeah. And testing boundaries. Absolutely. And I had been working since I was so young. And you had been so good.

Like, this is the thing. Up until that point, there was nothing on your list of misdeeds. Nothing. You had been that kid. And so almost if you had made it to adulthood and not had a moment where you were out there a little bit. Drinking.

and being done. Yeah, come on. You have to, it's a right of passage. You'd be a square. This is good. I like this. You'd be a total square. I'd be like, I don't know.

I'm literally. I literally am a total square now. It's funny, like I have one best friend who got sober at this, around the same time I did. And, you know, but we were running buddies because we were both using at the same time. And everyone will be so kind to me now in my life. And he goes, let me just make it clear about who good old Josh Beck was before you met him. I didn't even know. the extent of it. I just knew

I knew that it was something. You know what I mean? And again, it was not my place to be like, what are you doing? I said what I could say and then I just prayed and hoped that it would be okay. But I just, I don't remember being a long span of time and I do remember you bringing yourself back from the brink of what it was. Because I think

you've always wanted more for your life than what this industry has to offer. I think you always could kind of see, this ain't it. You know what I mean? You did but tow in, but you don't, you didn't stay. No thanks. Ben is the celebrity over here. He's the one who loves the entire scene. Love it because I'm an outsider.

I'm not an actor. I love it. I love just the intricacies, the inside baseball of it all. What was it like working with snot-nosed kids? You know what? I feel that the kids on Nickelodeon and also on Disney,

because I did some Disney stuff too, were really consummate professionals for the most part. And also because I was the adult there, they weren't showing me what they were doing. I didn't know. And I didn't want. want to know. You know what I mean? I would do my job and I would go home. And I'm the same way now

on sets. Like I go to work. I do my job. I make friends. I'm kind and all that. But if you're going to the party, I don't go to the parties. I don't go to the after parties. You know, go see me on any tapes of nothing. I'm at the house doing Lego. That's the right way to do it. I never understood people. Corporate America going to a happy hour. What are you trying to prove? Exactly. You don't have any regular friends? Like I don't know. Wait, I think you just got the exclusive. Yvette, you're in the Lego. Oh, I love. What are we talking? Are you 500 piece 2000?

I love Lego. I love Lego. I love Lego. I love Lego too, Ben. Let me tell you something. No, I love Lego more than you. The amount of 10,000 piece Legos I made during COVID. Oh, literally.

Well, COVID, it was crazy times. Like, I would say this, I have not reached the Titanic Eiffel Tower level just because I don't have the space. I have the skill. I just don't have the space. Sure. But I think the biggest I did was probably Batman's layer and then I did the Black Panther. If you saw my house, I have the,

Pac-Man machine. I have Nintendo and Atari. I have the Disney Castle. I have everything Star Wars. I have R2D2, Grogu, Yoda, Darth Vader's. I have some of the dioramas from Star Wars. I don't think what else I have stranger things. I literally build Lego all the time. Oh, you're the cool. And every vehicle, every vehicle that comes out I make. And do you keep them? Like, are you one of the people that like puts that, like, what is it, like glue around it to the stay? No, I don't keep them to stay. I've started to, there's some that are nostalgic for me. Like I love, I build Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street. Those sets, the Sesame Street set is one of my, is my favorite build I've ever done.

And I have like all the friends and I have Seinfeld and I have the office. So when I build it and I don't feel a nostalgic sentimental thing, I will break it up, put into the huge Ziploc bags and give it to Goodwill because there's some kid that can't afford it that would love the chance to build it. So I put all of the instructions in there and all the pieces and someone else can have the joy. If it's something that's special to me, like my Pac-Man. machine or my Atari, I'm going to keep it forever. So in my office, I have shelves. And so I put them in there or on display in the house, different places in the house. Legos really saved you. It really is. It saved me. I, you know, I started doing it when my mother passed because it's a very, you can any, this is, sorry, here we're going to get serious for a minute, children. If you are dealing with any type of

grief, the best way to deal with it is to take your mind off it, right? So things like knitting, puzzles, drawing, sorry. Stop it. It's my brain. Lego. Stop it. Anything that gets you, stop it, get you in the flow. You guys know that flow. Like if you're an artist, when you start painting or drawing, there's a moment when you look up

and 12 hours, five hours have passed and you're like, where the time go. That's the flow. So anything you can do to get you in the flow is good for grief.

And so Lego was the flow for me. So that's when I got into it. I'm better now, but I still enjoy it when I need just to take my mind up things, I'll start building. Have you had a Lego sponsorship?

I don't, Lego, come on and call me. I don't know what I got to do to get a sponsorship. This is one of the biggest podcast in the, the world. And I'm just saying brands, listen. So Lego, let's go. Come on. Yeah, they did send me one. They sent me the piano. I made that they sent me the grand piano for my birthday one year, which was

worth the price of admission. So that might be enough. But this is how you stay a good person. You do Lego, you mind your business. Do Lego. Don't go to a freak off. That should be, that's the motto. Listen, worked for me. Right? Worked for me. Gosh. I love Lego. Big fan. Huge fan. Huge. Do you remember when we had a young Diana Agron as a guest star on Drake and Josh? One of Drake's people. He had a lot of, aren't there a lot of now famous people that cycle through Drake and Josh? I think Vanessa Hudgens was one. Yeah, I remember the episode with Diana. She was at the premiere. They were meeting at the premiere for a date, which might be the, you know, every person he dated met at the premiere for a date. But I remember her, yeah. I remember that you

were so adorably pure. And Diana. I loved it. And Diana, you know, I don't think she wasn't on Glee yet. No, she wasn't quite famous, but she was as lovely as she's always been and so wonderful and beautiful. And I just remember, I was like in my funny weight stage then where I like I had long eyebrows and about 60 pounds to go. And no, no, wait, no, I had long sideburns. It's not long eyebrows. I'm not to say, I'm going to long eyebrows.

I didn't say, what the fuck is a long eyebrow? I had long sideburns and about 60 pounds to go. And I remember you so sweetly came up to me and said, now that's the kind of girl you should go on a date with. Maybe that's when we had the blow up. Was that when we had the blow on? You were like, don't tell me who to date, Evet. No, go ahead.

No, you said, you were like, you should ask her on a day. I was like, Yvette. Thank you for believing in me. But I don't think that's ever going to happen. Oh, I think she would have loved you, honey. Well, let's ask her. Diana, come on. Diana, come on.

Oh, that's funny. I was always, I'm a matchmaker at heart. I love to see young people get together. Love that. So, Ben, tell me more about your experience with, like, a healthy childhood. You know, me and Bruce, Bruce is my father, park it on the couch, and we watched Drake and Josh. And then when my sister got old enough, she watched, too.

Like, we loved that show. Oh, I loved it. How did you guys become friends? I think also, like, I was, I'm still fat, but I've lost 70 pounds of Zempick is a miracle. Wow. A miracle-eat. But as like a fat, I don't know, 13. year old watching Josh was the best.

Like I can't like there was just like and it's it's so funny because we really never talk about it. And Josh and I've been doing this podcast for over two years now and we're best friends. But like watching him then it's just it was it was finally somebody relatable on TV. How did you guys become friends? How did this? We met through I think the first time was like through DMs like maybe five or six years ago. But I used to work in marketing and I brought Josh a deal for Little Caesars.

And he was kind enough to send me a beautiful gift card for a wonderful steakhouse called Nastros. And somehow, how big was this? And somehow, some way we became friends because we have very similar Yiddishy Jewish humor and overbearing mothers and obesity. And just the list sort of goes on. But it's been 20 years, Ben. There was never like a funny. By obesity. Yeah.

Really weed with the negative. There was never like a, there was never like another fact. boy on TV. I don't know. Like it just like was so nice and hysterical. Yeah. Do you ever deal with like I will say recently I've been promoting this new show. Mm-hmm. That I host called Best Bite Wins on Roku and it's about hors d'oe and everything. And Ben and I talk about this. You know, it's, I appreciate it. But sometimes people will bring the weight up to me and I'll be like, it was 20 years ago. Right. But I can honor that when I had something that was probably my most popular thing. I look different. And it's still airing like it was yesterday. That's the other thing.

They just saw you, you know, as that little boy. That's probably what it is. Yeah. And so I was doing this interview with this guy on the radio and he clearly didn't do a bunch of research. He was like quoting things. He's like, so what's it like on grandfathered? I'm like, it was canceled nine years ago. It's gone. It's gone. Yeah. It's bad. But and then he brought up the show and he's like, you're hosting this food show and you've lost all this weight. Do you find that triggering? Oh my God. What a fucking idiot.

I was like, would you fucking save it, Oprah? I mean, not to disparage Oprah. It could never be Oprah. I'm like, dog. And I just, I was like, how do I get out of this elegantly? But have the smallest boundary for myself. Right. And I said, you know, I understand why you're asking.

I said, I lost the weight 20 years ago. go, so it's not really an issue for me anymore. Yeah. And that was it. And he just moved on. I would have lit him up. Like, what a fucking loser. What would you say?

Here, let's roll play. Let's roll play. Let's roll play. Okay, go. Okay, I'm going to be the radio host. You're the radio host. Do you want to be Ben's publicist? I will.

I'll be Ben's publicist. I'll be the radio disc jockey. Zell Ben, you know, you used to be a big, fat, fat, fat. Oh. Big fat, huge. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Ben, Ben, Ben, excuse me, sir, I'm sorry. That's inappropriate. Ben, we gave him a list of things not to bring up your weight was one of them. So I'm going to ask him to please move on to the next question. Well, we're live. Ben, what's it like working on this incredible food show Best Buy Wins on Roku and having to see all that food all the time? Ben.

You're a fatty. Fuck you. Fuck you. Ben. Okay, we're going to end this interview right now because it's just. Okay. All right. Ben, Ben, you have a deal with Disney.

This is not the time. Ben. Ben. You fucking Brendan. Ben, you have a moral spas, Ben. Hold on. I'll play, I'll play the president of Disney. Bring him, ding, hang, calling it all with this.

Yeah. Event? Yes. I'm watching this live. You are. Ben's having a meltdown and just told him to go fuck himself. He said the host was fat. I know, sir.

Ben has been triggered. And we had asked him not to say anything about Ben's weight. And you know how this is. This is NG, not good. I know it's not good, sir. But we're going to, listen, he's going to go to Reha. He's going to apologize first. he's going to go to rehab.

And he's going to say that he's in anger management. And this will be gone in like 48 hours. Yes. You're right. Wow. Thank you. Excellent. Well,

to improvise with the professional. That was phenomenal. But really, I would have like, what could, that's such a weird question. How do you feel around food? What does he think you eat from a tube? Like, yeah, he still has lunch and dinner and he lives on planet Earth. How do you feel around food, Josh? I think it's weird to bring up people's bodies anyway.

You know what I mean? Like I'm not happy to hear that it happens to men to, but at least I feel better knowing that it happens to men to. Why are we discussing people's bodies?

Yeah. No, I got sick. So what are you going to do? That could be a good campaign. Keep the feet. Keep the feet. Keep the feet. Put down the sugar.

Should we get to some stories, Ben? Yeah. Yeah, weird stories, though. Something weird. Uh-oh. Well, it's worth talking about that a nursing home releases bizarre job listing to bring sexy back to elderly patients. A tongue-and-cheek recruitment ad for a $145,000 aged care position. has promised to bring sexy back to the female dominated industry.

Mars recruitment uploaded several ads to seek on Tuesday for clinical nurse manager positions, available for an unnamed aged care not-for-profit provider with the headline, Bring Sexy Back to Age Care. Yeah. Okay, so it's in Australia, and maybe aged care will never be labeled as sexy. But let me tell you what it always was and always is and always will be, absolutely undeniably beautiful. So it doesn't sound like it's anything sexy.

I don't understand what is, what do you do with that? Do you dress sexy? Do you bring, what, what is the job? Well, I think the job is, I think it's dressing sexy. Dressing sexy for the older people. I think so for the old people, which I just want to know, they're talking about bringing sexy back. Were people like looking sexy in old age homes?

Like, was that a thing? I don't know that that's ever been a thing. Well, there is the sexy nurse, right? So I've heard, which is like, I don't know, if you want to wear. are revealing figs, that's up to you. These guys can't even see. There are some figs that are or scrubs that are very tight though.

You know, it says a lot how someone wears their scrubs. Say more. You know what I mean? Because I'm a caregiver and so my dad had a fall recently, so we were in hospitals and nursing rehabs and all that. And some of the people like to show what they got in the scrubs. And some people like to wear like a burlap sack.

I think it depends on who you are as a person. Like there's some that wear their scrubs so tight. I'm like, how, are you sitting down without ripping the seams off of those scrubs? So it's a choice. You wouldn't know it, but at one point in time, I was a dental hygienist's assistant. Okay. I wore those.

How did you wear your scrubs? Were they tight or were they loose? Loose as a goose. Loose as a goose when I wear my sleeping scrubs sometimes. They're very loose. Me at 280 pounds with tight scrubs, they wouldn't, they would have closed the office. The interior is too bad. With a rain delay.

We're close. This is a tarp. Oh, no. Wait, you sleep in scrubs? They're very comfortable. It's like a nice pajamas. Not all the time, but yes. What's your scrub brand?

Oh, gosh. Fix is good. Cherokee's got some nice ones. I was a Dickies, man. Oh, Dickies is old school. Dickies is old school. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Well, I didn't know. Since you guys brought it up, do you guys want to hear the STD rates in nursing homes over the past 20 years? Sure. Wow. Wow. Sure. Thank you, AI. Bring sexy.

The most common STDs diagnosed in patients over 60 years old are, well, we've got the HERP at 16% or assorted others at 29%. I mean, yeah, it's a lot. It's hot. Well, this is, these are hot in nursing homes. This is why, though, because there's no fear of pregnancy. So a lot of them are not, not strapping up because of that, probably. I've never even thought about it, though. People are fucking in nursing homes and giving each other herpes.

Oh, it's big, Ben. Apparently they are. Holy crap. My grandmother, who was at Daughters of Israel. Don't finish this. In North New Jersey. Don't do it. Don't tell us about your grandmother.

My grandmother was sour and sweet, my boy, because she would say, it's wonderful here. They bring me my juice every morning. I love it here. And that's my favorite nurse, Michael. I love you, Michael. Michael would leave the room and she'd go, he steals. I'd be like, I don't think so, Grandma. She's like, I haven't seen three out of four of my Werthers butters' scotch.

Like, dog, no one's stealing your Wothers. Worthers are stealable, though. Delicious. They're very delicious. They're fantastic. They really are. But you can't go with the sugar freeze. I recently had a bad, I had a bad run in.

I had a bad run in Yvette with sugar-free candy last week. Bad. I went in, got a bunch of it, like the jelly beans and the Wurth. and all this stuff. Oh, man, my stomach was a knot. It's not good sugar-free. Like, my thing is, if you're going to do it, get the sugar, just don't eat a lot of it. And listen, I think you can't really appreciate Wothers to you at least 40. You can't, before that, it's just disgusting. But when you turn 40, you eat a Wurthers, and it stays in your mouth for about 20 hours because Wurthers takes forever to dissolve. That's what's so great about. You can do one and just that you can't bite it,

Ben. You got to let it dissolve. Oh, I bite. You can't bite it. That is unbelievable. I'm a control. My Werther is done in 30 seconds. That's why you both look like, what, 20 hours? If you just let it dissolve, you can have Werther's deliciousness for hours at a time on one. Wow. Do you ever have moments like a cheat day where you're like, I don't want to lose a foot, but this is so good. I'll lose a toe. Yeah. Like, what do you go for? You know, I'm on a Mike and Ike kick right now and it's dangerous. You like sugar. Yeah, I mean, I ate myself into diabetes with it. And you know what else is really good? Tutsi roll. has these things called fruities. So it's like fruit. Yep.

Livia's like, yes. It's fruit flavor tutsi rolls, but they are the most flavor rich. Fruit flavor you can have better than Starbursts, better than mamba. It's just concentrated lime or cherry or whatever. They're called fruities. They're so good by Tutsi roll.

Ooh, yum. Are you a Twizzler person? Hmm? Are you a Twizzler person? It's not sweet enough for me. Have you ever had the individually wrapped Twizzlers? No, because it's like a hit. of sugar. I don't like a hit of anything. Like if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it.

I don't want a flavor type of thing. It needs to be the flavor. And so Twizzlers is sort of like strawberry or sort of like cherry. I want to get in. Give me cherry. So like a peach ring. Yes. You like a peatring? Yes. Or like a, what about like a nerds rope or a nerds gummy cluster? The nerds rope is will send me right into diabetes heaven and I'll go smiling. I'll look at me Jesus and go, welcome. I made it. Oh, I'm telling you. A nerds cluster. Oh, you don't. You those little ones. Please. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. When ever you're, whenever you're ready, you're like, all right, I don't need my feet. You call me. Oh. We're eating. Who makes those? Like, why do they do that? It's a texture play.

It's a, it's a, that's what it is. It's a texture play. I didn't realize I was into it, but one bite of those things and the whole bag is gone. Sick. You know what I know? I fly with those. I only give them to myself when I fly. You know what else is really good, you guys?

Hot tamales. Yvettes booking a trip to seven. Francisco. Just to get my clusters. I need my fingers. Hot tamales are delicious. Never liked him as a kid. They're delicious now.

That little cinnamon goodness. Yeah, my wife loves. They're amazing. What do you do? Ben, what is your lovely, beautiful wife love as a little snackaroo

other than you? She loves a Hershey kiss. Big Hershey kiss. She likes also like a Hershey's bar. She likes like a chocolate bar. She's actually more of like a savory. She loves a pretz. or like a potato chip.

She's far less like candy, candy. For me, if you put like, I'm the same as you, if you put one nerd gummy cluster in front of me, the whole bag is gone. And if you give me one chocolate bar, if you bought up thing,

I could eat chocolate until I die. It's done. Halloween is dangerous for me. Like there have been years where like I would go and like, I'm that kid that goes like in the building, steals the whole bucket of candy. I ate it all that night.

like 200 pounds. Yikes. Yeah. Snickers. Oh, yeah. Snickers. Oh, Snickers are great. Well, there's another big story, which is swinging couple reveal how they got started and their major rules for intimacy.

Oh. A couple who have been together since 2009 reveal the conversation that sparked their swinging lifestyle. Of course, this is Olivia and Gage because only a guy named Gage could be in a successful open relationship. Long story short, it was a mutual. decision. Conversations happening over a couple of weeks about our Olivia's sexuality and as it applied to gauge. And here, I'm trying to find the rules. Where's the rules? The couple realized that

there was a huge issue with apps and forums. So they decided to create their own for a really a safe environment. And you can't screenshot any images on there. Important. Sure you can't. And so people can be as discreet as possible. There's no photo sharing, but it's okay to be non-monogamous. Is it? I give it to the floor. Is it? I would like to point out the SDDs at the center of the old people.

So it is not safe. I don't know. It's not my thing. I feel like if you would somebody be with them. I don't like the inviting other people into the situation. That's just me. Amen. Yep.

Agreed. I'd be too scared too. I can't even imagine. I just don't want it. Listen, it's hard enough to. show my body to the one person. I don't know trying to have everybody looking at my body. Yeah.

I don't want to do it. And I've also now, like, the beauty of being with a partner for a long period of time is, like, you've, like, through, you've, like, numbed yourself to their reaction to your body. You know? It's like a callus for your brain. Whoa! God, it hurts. Hilarious.

Well, we do something called Speak Pipes on the show where we get, messages from people who want advice or have questions. So I think we can get into a couple of those. If you want to leave us a message, go to speakpipe.com slash good guys. Keep it brief. Brevity is key. Let's hear from Allie. I'm not great at this.

Hold on. Let me refresh it. Hey, Allie. Hey, good guys. More on Allie here. I need some advice. I have drunkenly hooked up with my coworker twice. And always in the moment, I'm like, yeah, this is nice.

And we're teachers. So I see him at school, and we're very cordial and nice and whatever, but I see him in person and I'm like, I actually don't think I like you. What should I do? Should we go on a date? Should we continue to hook up? Should we hit this in the bud? Let me know. Transfer.

Operative phrases, you don't like the man. So it sounds to me that you're hooking up with him because you maybe had a little bit of alcohol. the hall, the alcohol, the hall, and you're making not great decisions. You said that when you see him in the daylight at your job, that you don't like him. So I would trust yourself and not go on a date with him and not drink around him because apparently you cannot control yourself when you're on the alcohol and just let it go, honey. The babies are watching. What are you doing? Yeah. That's my advice. She's a teacher. As you said at the beginning, Yvette, we do our work and we go home.

Stop going to the office holiday parties. Stop going bins drinking with the gym teacher. Go home. Read a book. Do some Legos. Okay? Stop making out with other teachers. What are you nuts?

Ew. I just feel like you got that's a, you don't, what do I say? You don't eat where you, what do they say? You know shit where you eat? There you go.

That one. It's like if Josh and I started making out, that would be weird. That would be so weird. Well, we wouldn't do it for free. Again. Which is why you should subscribe.

to our Patreon. But isn't there, haven't there, and I know everyone's different, but there have been cases, or at least, so I've heard I've never been involved in anything like this, where people was like, I hate them, but I'm attracted to them. Or I, you know, or like, I like, I like hooking up with them, but like I wouldn't introduce them to my mom. Well, she didn't sound like she even liked hooking up with them because she said in the moment, it's fine within the next day.

So she's feeling guilt. Like it'd be different if she's like, he's like, he's. not my dude, but we have fun. And then I see him at school and we kind of wink at each other, whatever. She doesn't seem like she likes him. It seems like the hooking up is something that happens, not something that she wants to do. And she didn't say, I hate him. She said, I don't like them.

And that's different. The love, hate thing, like you can sometimes hate, it's like that powerful, like, ah, I can't stand you, but come here and give me kids. Yeah. Not liking someone is different. When you don't like someone, you don't like them. True that. Agreed. True that.

Yuck. Well, we have another one from Anonymous. Ooh, I love Anonymous. I'm going to know your voice. Mazel morons, my husband eats too much, and I don't know what to tell him to get him to stop eating so much. He's eating, like, all day long. He eats very large portions, not healthy foods. He does not care about, like, healthy foods.

He doesn't care about what he eats. He just is eating too much, and I can see a substantial amount of weight gain on him. He's not a big guy. He's kind of short. So if he gains any weight, it just, it looks really silly and it's like all in the belly. And I'm on my health and fitness journey. I just lost a very large amount of weight. And I'm working out and I'm trying to eat better.

And I'm just trying to get him on the ball with eating right. And every time I bring up anything about food or his weight, he gets really offended and asks if I'm calling him fat. So what do you suggest that I do to try to get him more motivated to eat better, eat clean, and just lose. some weight. Like I think he could stand to lose like 20 pounds, but if I even mention it, he gets offended. Any help us appreciate it. Thank you. Don't air it out on the biggest podcast in the world. I can't believe Paige would call in like that. That is, I was going to make that joke and I was like, that's not nice. So just feel good about yourself. By the way, it's very simple. Wally's sleeping, inject him with OZempick. I, you know, I think

That was horrible. You know, first of all, I think the bigger issue should be, if she loves him, figuring out why he's eating. Most people that are overeating are overeating for a reason. They're stressed. They're scared. They're sad. And maybe he's not happy in his marriage. And that's why he's overeating the way he is.

You know, I don't think that there's, if you're in a relationship with someone and you see your partner making good changes for themselves and you're happy for them, you naturally do kind of fall in line. Okay, well, let's eat salads today, babe. So the fact that she's doing all this great stuff for herself, as she put it, and he's not joining, then there might be something she's saying or doing while she's making her changes that are making him feel less great. And he's now eating his emotions. I think she's attacking this completely the wrong way. And if it's a health issue, she can go to her husband and go, babe.

I'm concerned that, you know, you might get diabetes or high blood pressure or whatever. But I'm telling you this. If he goes to the doctor and he's totally healthy, she needs to lay up off of him and leave him alone. I don't think this is going to go well for them if she keeps berating him about it. That's my two cents. You give amazing advice. Do I thank you? Like amazing.

Thank you, I totally agree. And it's not nice. And all I just have to say, if the roles were reversed and this was a guy, she would hate it. Saying that his girlfriend needed to lose 20 pounds and she was looking big and he's like, we would be destroying him. Absolutely.

So, yeah, he's probably, it sounds like she was also rather husky. with him and then she made a bit of a drastic change. And now she's mightier than God because like she's got it. But like give him time. Absolutely. I agree. There's nothing worse than like someone who was overweight who's losing weight. Now they're an expert or someone that was single their whole life. Then they get a married or a boyfriend. Now they won't tell everybody. But this is just sit down and let it breathe. Let it. Oh yeah. I hate it. And no. And if I didn't ask for your opinion, your love advice or your weight advice, Let me live my life.

And again, if she loves him and he's unhealthy, that's the way you would talk to. Baby, I'm concerned about your health. But just you don't look good. You're short and now you got this weight on you and you need to lose 20 pounds. I'm thinking that she's thinking because I look good and I'm going out in the world.

I need something that looks good next to me. I just don't like her. I didn't like her attitude. I didn't like it. It's attraction rather than promotion. Mm-hmm. Right. Think about that.

Absolutely. Think about it. Very good. Well, we have one final segment called, what are you nuts? where we basically, every week we come up with our gripes, with people, places, and things. Whatever's currently sticking in your craw, big or small, no wrong answer. We'll give you time to think about it.

I don't have to think about it. Oh, good. But before we get to that, we do have a segment when we have a fellow Thespian on the show. Is the Thespian in the room? Because I feel like such a hack when it comes to acting. But go on. I'm serious. I'm not going to allow you to be not nice to you.

All right. Thank you. Watch the way you talk to my friend. Okay. Okay. And sometimes we do a short acting scene. Oh, no. Perhaps a scene from a great movie.

Okay. Play. Okay. Maybe even a TV show. A TV show. I see where this is going. Maybe a TV show from the mid-Ox. I know where this is going.

Maybe a TV show. We were both on. Yeah. Yep. That one. We're going to do a scene from Drake and Josh. Let's do it. Let's do it.

Let's do it. Yep. Ben. I'm not getting you a Christmas. gift this year. And Olivia, you either. Okay? This is in Gatoswans last year. So what's different? This is as close as anyone's ever going to get. Here you go. Thank you. This is from the Paramount episode of. Oh my God. Helen, get surgery. We have an eye surgery. Okay. A touchstone episode for some, their favorite. Ben, when I say you go, because I didn't send you this, here, wait, I'm going to,

Ben, I'm going to send you a picture of, because you're going to play the man. You have two lines. Okay. So just follow along. Oh, God. This is going to remember. Are you going to remember this? Because, okay, I'm trying to remember. Oh, I'm off book. Oh, excuse me. I never forgot it. I do this completely off book. You're like, dog, it's been 19 years. Move on. I do remember how I did one line on here already. Wow. Oh, my gosh. This is, this is crazy. This feels I feel like I'm... Are you nervous?

I'm... Okay. I feel like I'm on a microdose right now. Let's go. Let's go. Ben, are you ready? Yes, I'm ready. Just follow along. It's only two pages and it's on the first page.

Your line, so... Okay. It'll come. Ready? Wait, let's get... Should we give some backstory? Sure. Helen, I'm working at the premiere.

Yes. Helen has just had a surgery. On our eyes. We assume you're going to be gone for days. Yep. And she shows up with patches on her eyes. You ready? Yeah.

I'm back. Oh, jeez. Helen, what are you? I sound the same. Helen, what are you doing here? You just had laser eye surgery an hour and a half ago? That's right. I had my surgery, dropped off my dry clean, and stopped off for a fish taco, and here I am.

Hey, hey. Shouldn't you be home? You can't see. I see you getting on my nerves. That's what I see. I drop my soda. Can I get another one, please? Yeah, I'll get it.

No, I'll get it. Oh, oh, stop. Oh, man. That'll be... Helen, you just colded that man in the face. Oh, well, I guess maybe I should go home for a while and get my rest on. Well, you mean that I get to be assistant manager the rest of the day? Oh, you're going to manage all right. You're going to manage me. Huh? You're going to help me get me situated back at my condo.

Now, here's the keys to my Buick. Let's go. You drove here when you couldn't see? Yeah, not my best idea. Come on. Wow. I mean, come on. Do you remember? Wow. I missed one line though when I said that'd be 375 or whatever it was. Incredible.

Wow. You haven't lost to study. Well, I remember her well. I mean, now how was I? You were great. Do you remember? I sprayed the guy in the face with the fountain. Yeah, with the fountain.

Excellent. Wow. Listen, I don't do that for everybody. I'll do it for you. Wow. This were honored. This was an honor. I feel like I make a wish kid.

So, Ben, do you want to start with your, what do you not? I have one too. Yeah, no, I can go. I've been on a bit of a diner kick. I live in New York. We are supposed to have the best diners in the city. They're honestly few and far between these days. I go, I try out a new diner.

I try it a new diner. I order eggs and potatoes. It's very safe order and omelets and side of breakfast potatoes. I go to take a bite of these potatoes. Oh, my God, I almost passed out. So unbelievably sour. Awful. quickly, I glance, I glance around the diner.

I'm like, who else has eggs and potatoes? I look, all the potatoes are sitting on the woman's plate to my left. All the potatoes sitting to the right. I get home, I'm throwing up nonstop. I got food poisoning from fucking breakfast potatoes. So I'm here to tell people, okay? Okay, if it smells rancid, don't eat it. You should know that already.

But breakfast potatoes, watch out. Watch out. You think that potatoes can't go bad, maybe? They can. What are you nuts? Serve me good potatoes. So wait, so tell me this. You're saying you look to the left and the right.

These people had potatoes that were just sitting there. What's the deal? They had potatoes. They had ordered eggs and potatoes. They finished their eggs. They didn't touch their potatoes. Which means their potatoes were also rancet. They were also rancid.

And you ate them. I had one bite. One bite made you sick. And it sent me over the edge. Oh. Wow. That's a bad potato. Awful.

That's wild. But you know what I don't like? I don't like this. And you see this at Waffle House. You see this at places where they got the big surface. and the thing with the short orders like, one am I in the 50s? I don't want to watch you flip eggs.

They had the big surface, Josh, and they had the fucking potatoes pile pie. And they leave it on there. They've been there all day. All day. They were there all weekend. Yep. Oh, it's gross.

Disgusting. And another, what do you nuts? If you're going to let me see into your kitchen, clean up. Clean your kitchen. Clean your kitchen. Otherwise, you can put up a wall. I don't need to see.

Not everything needs to be like Benny Hanna. But if you're going to let me look, It better be clean. You better say it. Disgusting. Say it, disgusting. Say it been. Nuts.

I once had food poisoning so badly that I had to call my buddy Lenn. Like this was not a good moment for me. And I was like in my underwear shaking on the bathroom floor. That's bad food poison. I was convulsing any game. And it was like, I don't know, midnight. And I was like, you sleep over? And we shared a bed.

Oh, but you didn't want to be alone. I didn't want to be alone. In case you died. You wasn't might find a body. Yes. Yes. That said what is better than being a fat person and having food poisoning? You lose the couple of pounds.

It's fantastic. I know. Three pounds, Josh. Three. Three, good for you. Worth every, oh yeah. Every throw up. So my Woody and Nuts is a dog size.

Okay. The size of a dog or the size of a dog? The size of a dog. Okay. You want a little cutie, little teacup. Fine. for me, fine. Yeah.

I like like a Maltese. Like, I don't like anything under five pounds. Okay. Crazy. It's all bones. Yeah. But like, you got something five to 20 pounds. Yeah.

Go to ski board. Five to 20 pounds. Great, beautiful little Maltese. Yeah. You know. And then you go bigger. You know, classic. A Labrador retriever.

Yeah. Chocolate lab. Beautiful. Even I'm a pit bull guy. I like play. 305 in Worldwide and the dog. Yeah. I like all pit bulls.

right? My issue is with 100 plus pound massive. What do you doing? Dude, there are these dogs that walk around my neighborhood. They're as tall as the owners. Yeah. They're mini dinosaurs. And look, I'm Turner from Turner and Hootches. As we know, no one watched it, but I liked it. I'm even cool with a hooch, but those are a proper sized dog. When you get into like these gigantic greyhounds that are massive, what are you nuts? It's too big of a dog. This is true. What are you trying to prove? Especially. They have them in Manhattan. They stick them in these apartments. No. What are you doing to the dog? No. Let the dog. Those dogs belong on a hundred acres.

Yeah. Yes. That's it. Outside. They belong. If you can't have a horse in your apartment, you can't have a dog the size of a horse in your apartment. Okay. Yes. Okay. I agree. I agree. Vette. What do you go? Okay. This is going to get a little serious. Elections and people not voting. It is driving me crazy. Well, we're anti-voting here. I just want to say that. You and this entire studio over. Let me tell you something. This is the way I look at it. I just went canvassing this weekend. Everybody knows who I'm voting for.

And I said, you know, you remember the movie Deep Impact or Armageddon with the comet or whatever is coming? The meteor or the asteroids coming to destroy. I feel like there's a big orange asteroid coming right for this country, careening towards us. And everyone has seen it coming. And everyone has been warning that it's coming. We know what the impact will do. It will be an E-L-E event. and somehow there's still people going, I don't know.

I don't get getting it. I don't want to hear your reasons why you have not registered and vote. You have got to vote. This is not the election to be a one-issue voter. Anything that you are upset about, I don't care what it is. You get the right person in and they will fight for the thing that you're upset about. Voted up. People got to register to vote.

They have to. Absolutely. It's something that people fight for the right for us to do. And not voting is a huge problem. in New York and I found a jar of buttons and it was in the sewing notion section and it made me remember that my people, my black people used to have to count jelly beans and marbles for the right to vote. They used to have to pay to vote. There was a poll tax that black people had to pay $3, which is equivalent to $30 today. And $3 would be how they would feed their family for that

week. And some people would pay it because they knew how important it was to vote. And we get to vote for free and we're not doing it. We have got to, we've got to vote. We've got to vote. Well, look, I think, Yvette, you and I are going to vote the same. Ben's a green party guy. So I think he's going to vote for, he's going to do a write-in. And I don't believe, you know what? God bless him for that. No, I do not.

Hey, look, the green party is legitimate. Until they are viable, Ben, don't you, then I'll come to New York and feed you a sour patented. Don't you dare vote for the green party this year. Don't do it. We are all on the same page. But I agree. As you both said, it is a gift and a privilege,

the opportunity to vote, and everyone has to do it. Absolutely. Definitely. I love you more. Could I love you more? What a wonderful, one of the great gifts from the show that we... Was you meeting you. Yeah.

I feel the same. I feel the same. Our love is always endured. It's never, it's never waned. Take us home, Ben. Folks, five stars. Otherwise, what are you nuts? This has been a dream.
