Starting point is 00:00:00 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. They're not the great guys. Is Baron Trump too tall?
Starting point is 00:00:34 Yes. No, the thing is the, yet he's too tall. He looks, I saw it hysterical. I'm sure he saw the same video where they made him like actually 45 feet tall. Did you see that video? No. I have to find it and send it to you. It's Trump and Melania.
Starting point is 00:00:51 They're walking into the White House and Baron is behind them, but they made him 50 feet tall. Whoa. Walking behind them. It's so funny. Yeah, he's tall. Jealous. Oof. That's good height. We touched on the inauguration last episode.
Starting point is 00:01:08 First, I want to just say something. Somebody was giving us crap about us talking about the fires and whatnot. And they're like, you shouldn't get political on the show. And I felt inclined to say one thing. First of all, it's not political. It's in my backyard. It's like 10 miles away. It's like affected everything.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Like so many people I've known. So like it would be weird to not talk about. a literal fire in my backyard. But more so, the beauty of this podcast, well, you people don't know. You think Ben and I, we have such differing viewpoints? The truth is, we are so close on everything we think. And what's cool is a little bit of conflict.
Starting point is 00:01:45 We know what sells. The truth is, we go out, we eat steak together. We're laughing. We're booking more hero bread spots. We have no conflict. But the beautiful thing about our relationship I find is that you give your opinion on something. I give my opinion on something. And if you really had to find the truth of the situation, it's probably somewhere in the
Starting point is 00:02:11 middle of what both of us said. And we know that. And I think that's something that should be more embraced. I completely agree. And if you don't want us to, the term political, fires are not political. There's nothing. Perhaps you politicized the fire, missy, but fires aren't political. Politics are political.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And the only time that we're ever going to talk about something is when we want to, because this is our show. And when we want to escape, we escape. And when we want to dive in, we dive in. And that's the beauty, folks. The beauty of us having our own show. So if you had an issue with us talking about the fires, take it up with Karen. Karen.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Karen Bass Pro Shop. Can you imagine the collapse? Oh my God. My head just exploded. Oh my God. Karen Bass Pro Shop. That is a dream. Somebody called Lauren and Michael Bostic.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I see a podcast. I see it too. Karen Bass, like having an outdoorsman series? Because she won't be mayor anymore. No. No, she's going to be a part of the homeless population. You're going to feed her and feed the streets. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Can you imagine? What I have to say, Josh, I message this to you. The work that you do, I don't know if everybody knows this. And yeah, maybe he posts about it because he wants us to know he's doing it. But Josh does so much charitable work. He's out here feeding these streets. He's there looking for an extra nutra grain bar. Can you give him some more non-perishables?
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yes. He needs non-perishables for these people that are hungry. Josh is out here every day Just feeding the streets And I just have to say Josh Bravo Love you Ben Thank you
Starting point is 00:03:59 You and your wonderful wife Are incredibly benevolent And philanthropic And I You're right I would give myself I would say One out of four posts
Starting point is 00:04:08 Or for me With the charity stuff And you know My favorite quote is Do something good And don't get caught doing it Right It doesn't count
Starting point is 00:04:17 If you tell people Oh you'll never guess How good I was today But these these organizations I work with like feed the streets and so on like we need volunteers it's great when people donate so that we can you know feed first responders or we do four feeds a week on L.A. Skid Row and in MacArthur Park and you know having a big social media following helps
Starting point is 00:04:40 support that so a lot of times they want a shout out and I'm happy to oblige so yes I love the compliments but I'm mostly doing it to help these organizations I feel like though, like, there's enough sponsors, there's enough big companies, like, there should never be the lack of non-perishables at a feed-the-streets event that you're at. Like, these people need to pony up, okay? Like, I'm trying to think of what sponsors we have that are in that universe, but like, give them, donate some free snacks. Like, where, they're not a sponsor, like, where the fuck is Kind Bar? Kind Bar can't give you nine million Kind bars. They can. I can. I think they probably, I mean, it has been, we, through my buddy Nick Antonian, some very reputable Armenians from the Valley,
Starting point is 00:05:27 they created an amazing donation center at the Santa Anita racetrack where I was for like the two weeks after the fires. And the amount of donations was so incredible. Like, people were so generous. So many different companies, so many people selling, sending just truckloads, pallets of water and foods and things. And it was my buddy Nick's friend, Ponch, who was like the. head of all of it. And I don't think he appreciated that every time I saw him, I was like, I just want to hang out with you and call it the punch bowl or like, you and I go on vacation. That would make you tropical punch. If I can tell my kids anything, if I have to like,
Starting point is 00:06:08 and it'd be interesting for you to start thinking about this. I'd love to hear what you think, because you're a deeply good person, Benjamin, is like, I think if I had to tell my kids, like one thing, it would be that, you. you know, giving back is the cover charge for your life. You know, like that's, it's kind of it. It's just like, it's the only free high I found in life. And it will, it will set a great cycle of goodness in your life going. As Jews, we learn about it from a young age.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I'm sure everybody does. But like, I distinctly remember. I actually don't remember what my Mitzvah project was, L.O.L. But you have a Mitzvah project for your bar about Mitzvah. And the whole thing is. surrounding what good are you going to do in the world? And in Judaism, I wish, I don't do this. I should do this. You're actually supposed to give 10% of everything you make to charity. Right. 10%. And I would like to reach a place where I can do that. One day I hope to be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Today, I'm not doing that. I do give as generously as I feel I can, but I can't give that much yet. But yes, giving back is everything. And when you get somebody, like an appreciative person, nothing feels better. I know that's not why you're doing it, but nothing feels better. I'm going to tell a story that I never wanted to tell because I did it out of the goodness of my heart,
Starting point is 00:07:26 but this city is so fucking cold, Josh. I'm on my way home two weeks ago, and I see outside of Bloomingdale's, there's a homeless man whose right hand is literally purple. He's sitting on the street, his hand is fucking purple. I go into Bloomingdale's. I'm like, I'm going to buy this guy, gloves and a scarf. I go to the men's section.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Do you know that the cheapest glove in Bloomingdale's? Actually, guess, what do you think of the cheapest pair of gloves in Bloomingdale? Dells men's store brand. Bloomingdale store brand. Yes. Yes. $50.
Starting point is 00:07:52 98. Wow. I spent $250 on a scarf. Men's Bloomingdale's brand scarf and gloves. I gave it to this guy. And when I tell you, it was a look like from from God. His hands were so cold. So I'm telling the story because it also, it's important to do the right thing.
Starting point is 00:08:12 It feels good to do the right thing. And it can become addicting. So give. If you see a homeless man on the street, give the homeless man money. Of course, not if he looks scary. Don't look him in the eye if he looks scary. But if he doesn't look scary or she looks scary, give the money because you really don't need the $10.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I'm sorry. Like, you don't give it to him or her. Yeah. And I would check your intellectual fortitude. Like if you're using some intellectual justification of why I'm not going to give money because of this, I'm like, or have you considered maybe you're just greedy? Yeah. Whatever you've told yourself to make it okay to not.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I love, Robbie Hoffman talks about this all the time. I love what she said on our pod, which that her mother, when she was growing up, and she talked about having huge financial struggles, and her mom would sometimes see a homeless person and give them a five. And she'd be like a five. Like, I thought we're tight. Like, I thought we were broke. And you're giving like, not giving just a one, you're giving a five.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And the mother would be like, you know, sometimes you have to, you know, give it away. even if just to remind yourself that you can, right? Like in this situation, you can. So I try to remember that. And I think it's actually better to give straight to the people, which is why I like feed the streets because we're small and scrappy than a huge charity organization. This is the problem, honestly. I have problems with giving money on a link to these huge places and not knowing where it's going.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Like I can't donate $1,000 to. a random organization. But you also can't give it to one person because that just doesn't, there needs to be somewhere in between. There needs to be a place I think that people would give so much more if they actually felt like what they were giving was going somewhere. Like I remember, I'm sure you know this, Wounded Warrior Project, it came out that they literally like kept 75% of the money.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Something like, something insane. So I'm giving all of this money to U.S. veterans' families thinking that I'm supporting them. Meanwhile, this charity is getting rich. And it only takes one bad apple to create a stigma that when you donate to a huge company with all of these important people on payrolls that you just have no idea. So I think that the system is a little bit broken here where we need to feel confident that when we give money, it goes to the right place.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And if we did feel that way, I think a lot more people would do it. You know what the second part of one bad apple is to that same? Two bad apples? One bad apple ruins the barrel. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ruins the barrel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:47 By the way, you ever seen apples in a barrel? I haven't. No. It's weird. No. You know? No, I've seen them. One bad apple ruins the, you know, the display at Safeway.
Starting point is 00:10:57 You know, that's what it should be. Exactly. One bad apple skeaves you out. Yeah. That's nasty. Oh, my God. A bad apple is gross. Brewed apple.
Starting point is 00:11:10 dude. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Quip. Folks, brushing your teeth can be a chore. Not for me.

This is Gracie Norton from the Wellness Survey podcast, the ultimate sanctuary for a welcoming approach to wellness.
Starting point is 00:13:16 It seems like every day there's a new food we're not supposed to eat, a new cleanse to take part in, or a new workout that claims to give us a flat stomach within a week. Rather than hopping on trends, we're going back to the roots of wellness and making a home of our body, mind, and soul. If you're seeking physical growth, emotional abundance, or simply a more fulfilling life, Tune in to the Wellness Survey podcast on November 6th. Get ready to embrace your body through all its forms and get back to the roots of wellness. I love sharing this with you, Ben.
Starting point is 00:13:52 You are going to see with kids, you're going to have to take out a home loan for berries. The amount of fucking berries that you go through with these children. Who knew these berries could be eaten so much? And I have not found a sound set of berries since I've had children. These things, they grow mold faster than you can imagine. It's no good. I actually, I've been on quite the blueberry kick. I have been a little bit hungry at night.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I'm looking for something to snack on. I started to dip my toe, Josh, into Greek yogurt. I like to take a little Greek yogurt, a little granola, a little honey, little berries. I might as well be eating a Snickers. That's how much sugar is in what I'm eating at night. I, two nights ago, Josh, I blacked out, and I must have had like an entire pint of Faye yogurt. Oh, my God. with with like a mountain of blueberry is just so much healthy granola
Starting point is 00:14:52 was like no no no you know the pint you know the pint containers i'm talking about of yogurt i had it's massive i had a pint i looked at claudy i'm like oh my god it's a trough i was like oh my god my stomach, my gas could literally kill someone. Yeah. Like, this is terrible. Your stomach's name was your ghost after that. Yeah, the blueberries were no good. Blueberries were no good.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Strawberries, I find, lasts a little bit longer. Blackberries. Yeah, the berries. It's a big, big berry kick. I love berries. Well, we've got to talk to somebody at big berry. Because they're making sure that these things, I mean, I'm getting 36 hours out of these things sometimes. And you always see the TikTok trends where people go,
Starting point is 00:15:42 oh, you got to wash it and have 50% vinegar. I'd rather throw them away. I'd rather lose all my money. I'm not putting vinegar on my fruit. I know. Vinegar belongs nowhere near fruit. Nowhere. I know that.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I don't want that. That's no good. Also, the reason why they're dead when they get to you is because it probably took like two weeks for them to get to the grocery store. They sat at the grocery store for a week and then you got them. We need farm to take. table. Well, the great Anthony Bourdain quote is when he says, I've never eaten a restaurant that isn't farm to table. Where else is the food coming from? Yes, it's true. But I don't want
Starting point is 00:16:24 any middleman. Farm table. Quick, in and out. I have such a routine at night to walk off my anxiety. once my children are asleep from like eight to nine, I'll walk to the local supermarket in my town, which is about a mile away from my house, and I see all my friends in the supermarket, and I peruse the discount cart because I want to see the damaged product. And 90% of the time I don't get it,
Starting point is 00:16:55 but then, like, sometimes I'll get a chunky peanut butter 50% off, and I'm just, I'm walking home, ripping pods, eat me fucking zins, And living a great life. Not yet. It's so funny. I've never seen a discounted section in a grocery store. Oh, please.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's not in New York thing. Upper East Side. No, by the way, in New York, they just, they leave it with everything else. Dented? Like, fingers crossed, he buys it. Like, it's just open. Like, they're trying to trick you. Like, the best.
Starting point is 00:17:30 That's so funny. The best with kids is when you're going and I'll be with Max and Shy. and we'll be at the supermarket or at Costco or whatever and they'll be hungry and or I'll be hungry and I'll just rip open a package of something that's in the cart and my son Max will be like like but Papa he doesn't call me Papa I don't know I said that
Starting point is 00:17:50 but he'll be like but Mr. Peck like you can't eat it we haven't paid for it and I'll be like I'm gonna I could eat all of it if I want to like son I'm a big eating line guy Oh, yeah, babe. Big eating line. I'm also a big walking eater.
Starting point is 00:18:09 When it's not 10 degrees, literally, Josh, I can't feel either of my big toes exactly in this room. Like, they're frozen solid. When it's not this cold, I will go get a salad and I will eat the salad as I walk. Love it. You'll catch me with a bowl in my left hand, a fork in my right, and I'm eating and walking. I'd say more of my lunches are spent walking than sitting. Totally. As it should be.
Starting point is 00:18:31 But I always think to myself, like, am I going to choke? Is that how you find out? that I died. I got a piece of salmon lodged in my throat because I was eating a salad while walking. Worth it. I guess so. What are you going to sit? These people when they're at Starbucks and they've got three computer monitors out and I'm like, I know you're unhoused. How do you have this many electronics? No, but like, and they sit and they enjoy their meal. And how do you, how do you have the time? Yeah. How do you have the time to enjoy meals like that in the middle of the day? You don't have anything better to do? Like I also, I'm just an impatient person.
Starting point is 00:19:04 If I can pick up five minutes, I'm picking it up. Yeah. My wife hates, I'm right out of the pot over the stove three to seven minutes. And she's like, you know, I made this. Like, you could plate it. Can you? I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know I'm, I live with Danielle Ballou.
Starting point is 00:19:21 You know what I'm saying? Like, excuse me. Like, can we just eat it out of the old clad? Can we eat it out of the caraway pot? Paige. Yeah. You have so many burners. There's one meal, 19 burners.
Starting point is 00:19:34 We need these many burners. Oh, we've been watching. When was the last time? Have you watched Barefoot Contessa from the beginning? Not from the beginning, but I've watched it for 20 years. You must watch it from the beginning, Josh. First of all, Ina Garden isn't a queen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:49 She has all these gay guys over. She's kissing them all on the lips. I've never seen something. Poor Jeffrey. He's just there. He's sitting there in the corner while she's smooching her interior designer. But the show is unbelievable. unbelievable. The amount of waste, though, that she has with the pots, which is what made me think of it,
Starting point is 00:20:08 she will take something out of her pan, put it into a bowl, out of a bowl, into another bowl, into the other bowl, into the food processor. Love, queen. She doesn't care. She's not doing the fucking dishes. Ina's kissing gay men. Hold on. I'm trying to think. Could you imagine if we could just free kiss some lesbians? You had to see it. I only brought it up because I was so shocked. She's like, how are you? I'm like, oh, this is cable. Oh, hello, Dale. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And you see Dale like this. Chip and Dale are two of our oldest friends. And boy, is Dale good at kissing. Chip loves my roast chicken and Dale loves my lips. And oh my God, Josh. does she loves salt? She'll put salt in everything in the vinaigrette on the salad, on the steak, and at the very end, could use a little bit more salt. Everything needs more salt. And she, know what, Josh, she's right. Totally. Everything could use a little more salt. Well, you're an authority,
Starting point is 00:21:21 you're a chef, so tell me if this is right. And it's another Bordainism, but it's something I experienced the other day at this great restaurant called Cento in the West Adams District in Los Angeles. They have an open kitchen concept and part of the kitchen. My buddy Avner is the owner. It's so good. It's like Mediterranean, Italian. I know that Italian is Mediterranean technically, but not in the way you would think. But they have some incredible pastas and things.
Starting point is 00:21:47 And Bordane always says the biggest difference between going out and eating at home is a stick of butter. He's like, there is a stick of butter in your food when you go out. And that's why you like it so much. And you know what? Watching them cook for an hour, I was like, Oh, yeah. They are liberal. 1,000 percent. I'm there watching, Ina.
Starting point is 00:22:06 She's making a rib roast, Josh. She took, she made her own, it's an herb butter. She put butter all over the whole roast. This is a big roast. She buttered the whole roast. Put it into the other. I'm positive. It was the best, the best ever.
Starting point is 00:22:21 It's the same thing with Lugers. I love a Lugar's steak. But the reason that you love a Lugar's steak is because they are putting a whole stick of butter on the steak. Yes. A whole stick. And that's why people always come. complaining about kosher steakhouses, they're like, why doesn't it taste good? Because there's no butter. They don't mix milk and meat. That's why it's worse. Sorry. Somebody needs to find a suitable
Starting point is 00:22:40 alternative to butter because it's not margarine. No, you could put a heaping dose of olive oil on it. The problem is too is that it's pre the meat salted for your kosherut. Some, yeah, some cuts are more salted than others. Some aren't like, like really like a skirt. It's super salted for sure and you need to get out the salt. But the nuance is, I'm telling you it's the butter. The butter is the real problem. That's the real problem. Olivia, what's like the meal, like a date night meal or the meal that a young Ethan trying to make you swoon? Like, what would be the perfect meal for that, for you? For me, honestly, like a well-prepared steak, like a New York strip really well prepared with like some delicious roasted vegetables. Like I need them seasoned well,
Starting point is 00:23:27 you know, like a good, perhaps like a crisp on it. I'm not entirely. really sure, but anything with a big steak and some roasted potatoes, too, on the side. That's it for me. Wow. I'm in. Love. I would love a steakhouse steak, some good sides, a queen spinach, a nice mashed potato. But that's starving.
Starting point is 00:23:47 But that's also the problem with traditional steakhouse places, like the great Jerry G, and I've talked about this before, Jerry Greenberg of Sugarfish and Kazunori and the genius behind all of it. He has a place called Matu in Beverly Hills, which is a steakhouse I love, because they do have a cream spin. They do have some sides, but they're all super light and good. And the focus is on the Wagyu Australian steak. And it's just not, you're not going to get your ass kicked. And you'll certainly be full, but it's not the same as going to a mastros or a Morton's,
Starting point is 00:24:26 where you can be eating eight pounds of buttercake and, you know, bread baskets. That sounds so good, though. Oh, it's so good. That sounds so good. Love. What I would do for that buttercake? Beyond.
Starting point is 00:24:39 That buttercake? Beyond. It is it. Yeah. It's it. It is it. What's the difference between cream spinach, Josh, and spinach artichoke dip besides the artichoke?
Starting point is 00:24:52 I guess in theory, cheese, right? There's traditionally not cheese and cream spinach is there. I guess just heavy cream. Right. And flour. They do a roo. A rue. They thicken it.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yes. A room Mclanahan. Shout out the Golden Girls. Perhaps. And before we move off of steaks, I accidentally, people were very upset at me. I bought a wagu and I marinated it and people were very upset at me. The steak was fantastic. But they said, you do not marinate a wago.
Starting point is 00:25:25 You do not. Otherwise, you're not entitled to buy a wagu. you. So I apologize to the culinary community. That said also, fuck you. Okay. What the hell do they know? I will say it looked more like a ribro. Like it looked like a skirt steak. It didn't look like a proper. It was a kosher waggo. It wasn't this. Okay. It wasn't this. It's it's funny. Cougine rode under Snake River. I'm like, I wish. Same here. Snake River. It's Shlomo River. It's Slomo River. It's, it's, It's called it's the Dead Sea. It's a Shonda River.
Starting point is 00:26:04 This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Mac Weldon. Folks, we know men are hard to shop for. You ask us, what do you want, honey?

Starting point is 00:28:26 Most newly weddings get a shiny toaster or a new fat check in celebration of their holy matrimony. However, this troubled twosom just got an annulment by request of the furious bride who claims she thought that her wedding ceremony was a social media prank and not a legally binding union. He told me that he's organizing a prank wedding for his social media, the unnamed woman at 20-something from Melbourne, Australia, recently explained to a family court judge. Judge, to be precise, Instagram continued the bamboozled bride, saying the fella had 17,000 followers, he wants to boost his content and wanted to start monetizing his Instagram page
Starting point is 00:29:07 with a fake sham wedding. Turns out it was real, real, real, real, real. This girl is nuts. Yeah. What are you agreeing to? This is your fault. You walked in, what is it, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. This guy is no good.
Starting point is 00:29:23 You agreed to marry somebody for a prank. He wasn't even famous yet to help him go viral. What are you nuts? Your fault lady. Your fault. You get a haircut. Your fault lady. Your fault.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Totally. And even if it was true, even if he was a successful TikToker, like you're marrying a successful TikToker. No, thanks. No, I don't want that. What's next to a podcaster? Well, also in the New York Post, want to have better sex. Find yourself a man who cries, sex experts, say, Catch of a lifetime.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I told you, Paige! I told you! Boys who blubber make better lovers. Turns out, sobers are better in the sack. Men who cry are the best lovers. Mariana Lazarus said relationship expert and author of Men Need Love 2. Oh my God, this was like written from me to page.
Starting point is 00:30:24 It's been rough. They get pregnant. All of a sudden, you don't exist anymore. That's fine. And I don't say anything. You did. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I know. You're creating life, but I'm creating loneliness here on the couch. I could use a cuddle. You cuddle the baby all day. It's in you. Big baby needs up too. The fine line between vulnerability and masculinity
Starting point is 00:30:47 is the biggest challenge for men. She explained that finding a man in touch with his emotions will allow people to find the catch of a lifetime. rather than just a day. Yeah. What do you think? Yeah. Honestly, I was laughing too hard.
Starting point is 00:31:01 I caught, I missed the whole thing. I mean, I missed the whole thing. What the hell is this? I guess. Just find yourself a low teacoc. And you'll be happy forever.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I can say, kudos to Claudia. I'm a crier. True. I see, I see a nice movie where at the end, like a homeward bound. I'm crying.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Homeward Bound. Oh, my God. God, who is it? I'm crying. I'm crying in Mrs. Dalfire. Okay? When he loses custody of his kids, I'm crying. Okay?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah. So, I guess I'm good in the sack. We want to stay with him. What is my most? I want to stay with him, Daddy. I want to be with Daddy. This is my guy sucks. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:31:55 That movie is so good. It's so good. Good. Oh, sir. I saw it. He was an angry member of the kitchen staff. Did you not tip them? Oh, it was a run by fruiting. Also, how did they get Pierce Brosden? Was he just in 007? Or had he not done it yet? I don't know, but it's Pierce Broson. It's Sally Field. Brilliant actor. I mean, Harvey Firesteen. Come on. No, no, no. This is, I also, I go around town or I went around town for at least two years shouting from the rooftops. People need to watch Mrs. Dowell. They did. It literally like won an Oscar. Like, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:34 They watched it and they loved it. It was incredibly critically acclaimed. I know. I know. Ben thought he was gatekeeping Mrs. Delphire. I fully thought for years. I was like, you guys have to watch this movie. And then I found out, like, yeah, bro,
Starting point is 00:32:50 and then I found out like, yeah, bro, we did. Belove. Bro, we saw it. We loved it. It's awesome. Yeah. Have you seen the birdcage? Have I seen the birdcage?
Starting point is 00:33:05 One of the greatest movies ever. Now that movie, I'm convinced not enough people have seen. And that is a great movie. Everyone older than you has seen it, right? Like, that's the hard part is I think that people, and I think that I really believe there was a cutoff and it's people like 30 and below. Like, I think you have much more in common with people, my. and up until like 40s and early 50s, your references are much closer than someone who's 24.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Of course. Right? Because I see one new movie every four years. I listen to one new song every four years. Everything is older. Everything. Also, though, these movies are just better. They're better.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Sorry. They're much better. Nathan Lane is a stud. Right. Oh, the bird cage, which is based on one of the great musicals called Lucky. Kaja Foe, which came out in the 70s. Brilliant. And then they turned it into a movie.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I mean, and people are going to be like turning off the pod because whatever, but screw you. It is Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Brian Weist, who plays his wife, Hank Azaria, in maybe one of the great performances ever. I've done nice shoes. Yeah, it's so good. It is so fucking good.
Starting point is 00:34:26 By the way, the only reason you should be turning off. podcast is to watch the birdcage. You have my permission. You can resume it afterwards, but it's brilliant. And you also have to appreciate, because whenever that came out in 94, whatever, like, I'm so glad that today that two men being married and being introduced to their son's fiance's family who's like from the Midwest and more in quotes traditional, whatever, now that just seems as natural as natural can be and it should be.
Starting point is 00:34:55 But in the 90s, I was fucking daring. Like a movie like that was new and it was done so well. But Robin was daring. And then we can go off Robin Williams. But Robin Williams, every single movie was daring. Everything that he did, he was so funny. He was so compassionate. I'm going to cry.
Starting point is 00:35:13 It's back to being a crier. So I'm good in the sack. He's smart. He's funny. And he's dead. And that really sucks. He was one of the great. And I remember I did, you know, it's a meme that has even gone around even more.
Starting point is 00:35:28 as recently, of me cursing out a bunch of kids on a boat when I was very overweight. What? Send it to me. I've never seen it. How have you not seen this? You're Mr. Oh, I don't know. I made this movie. I can already tell Olivia knows. So it's a meme of me when I was 16 in a movie called Mean Creek. The conceded of the movie is I'm a bully and I beat up this kid at the beginning of the movie, Rory Culkin, Kieran's little brother. And he, and his older brother and a couple other kids decide, like, this bully sucks. We're going to invite him out on this boat trip,
Starting point is 00:36:04 and we're going to say it's a birthday party, and we're going to really befriend him, and then we're going to play a really evil trick on him. And it goes really terribly. And that scene is me getting wind of the plan, and that this wasn't them trying to endear me to the group because, as, of course, the day goes on, they find out, like, I have a learning disability.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I'm totally misunderstood. I don't mean it. I'm so happy to have. friends in this moment and they start to feel really bad about what's going on. But anyway, we made this movie for 300 grand. It won Sundance. It did really well. And we won a special distinction award at the independent spirit awards because we were all like between 14 and 18. And it was like these six performances of like these pretty unknown kids. So they were like, we don't we don't know whether to give them like put them in a category together. But then
Starting point is 00:36:54 they have to like beat each other to see who wins. Let's just give the, them, the movie and their performance of Special Distinction Award. And Robin Williams was there. And I was the one who gave the speech for the award and I did a pretty good job because I like had some jokes
Starting point is 00:37:12 written and I worked on it. And he came up to me and my mom after and was like so lovely. He went on to make a joke on the stage. He was like, oh, I want to congratulate the Mean Creek cast and Josh Peck who will be the future head of Paramount. It was
Starting point is 00:37:28 just like really nice. I'll never forget that my mom actually, Robin Williams came over and was schmoozing with us and my mom goes, I'm calling my brother. And Robin Williams said to say hi to my uncle Richard. It's so classic. Oh my God, that's amazing. The end of the story is years later,
Starting point is 00:37:50 I did another indie movie with his daughter, Zelda, after he had passed away. And we were just chatting and she like somehow, could see to my eyes and she was like you love my dad didn't you and i was like yeah of course like he meant so much to me and she was like you know when he was doing maybe i won't share the story oh that's a good this i'll tell you ben off mike and you olivia she do have to and then we'll turn it into an eight minute clip i don't know i don't know i would have to ask her if it's okay for me to share it but she told me an awesome story about when he was in good morning vietnam like a very
Starting point is 00:38:25 special story about him. And it's just innocent and interesting. I just don't know if she's ever told it publicly. But it was just, you know, she's awesome and great guy. Shout out Robin Williams. Why don't we have, if you, we should have her on the show. Yeah. That would be really fun. I would love that. She's great. I love, I love him so much. We'd have to also talk about her, not just him. Oh, well, yes. Should we get to a speak pipe? Yes. If you want to leave us a message, if you want to get advice from us, ask us a question. Keep it brief. Brevity is key.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Go to speakpipe.com slash good guys. This first one is from, I don't know. I love listening to the podcast. You guys are hilarious. I have a question for you. I've talked with my husband at length about this, but you guys feel like the brothers. I always wanted, so I want your opinion. I have worked for a company, a small company for six years now.
Starting point is 00:39:21 I'm pregnant with my first baby and wondering what I should do. do once baby is here. This company has had its ups and downs over the years. Now I'm working remote for this company and I have to drive to the office once a week, maybe twice. It's an hour and a half away. This past year for Christmas, I got a Christmas bonus with air quotes of $100. And I'm just wondering if that's my sign to pursue freelance and contract work. I'm a graphic designer and have always thought about doing that. But is now the time to do that and shake things up? Or should I stay with a consistent salaried income? I guess I'm wondering, am I a spoiled millennial brat that thinks that I don't have to work a consistent job to support my family and that it's
Starting point is 00:40:10 selfish to take this risk right now? Or should I do it because I'll be happier and potentially make more money doing freelance? Let me know your thought. Thanks, guys. My first thought is that, boy, are you long-winded? No, okay. So you do not shake things up right now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You work for this company.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Keep your salary. I am going to assume, I hope you work for a good employer. It sounds like you do that that employer would give you insurance. Unless your husband gets insurance and then maybe you can go off of his plan. But insurance is important. Don't take that for granted. planet. And when you're freelance, you just never know. You're relying on clients, relying on them staying. It's just you. You can't slack. I feel like you in your job, you said you go in twice a
Starting point is 00:41:05 week. Talk to them. Say, look, I'd like to work from home completely. I'm a young mom. I'm going to be able to do more if I don't have my six hours of commuting a week and see what they say. I bet you they say yes. And I hope you're getting paid well because a $100 gift card to Amazon after six years at a company is a drag Christmas gift. It's bad. It's really bad. It's almost, I was thinking that. Why'd they give her anything? Right. Just say, just say that the company can't do bonuses this year. Sorry. Like, we didn't do well enough. That's a, that's a fine thing to say. But $100 is worse. It's worse, especially because, Josh, that $100 is taxed. 50%. Bonuses are taxed at 50%. Frickin government. And if you really want to do a shitty move,
Starting point is 00:41:47 gone maternity leave and on the last week, then leave. Yeah. That's not cool. But no, it depends on how big the company is. I actually think it's incredibly cool if it's a huge company. I think it's really fucked up if it's a small company. If you work for Google,
Starting point is 00:42:02 do that all day. Apple all day. Amazon all day. Mom and pop. If you work for Sprit Society and do that, it would be really depressing. If you do that while we're doing our V8 collab launch. You are dead to us.
Starting point is 00:42:17 No. No. By the way, with this Tom Holland making the, you know, the non-alcoholic beer, these moments, these mocktail moments, non-alcoholic, it's getting hot. When am I getting my collab request? This is so fucking clearly a layup. A non-alcoholic Sprit Society brought to you by your boy, Josh Peck. Great.
Starting point is 00:42:36 We can do it. Pencil it. It's in. Olivia. I don't believe in non-out, Josh. I know that you and I will finish this pot and talk about how unenthusiastic. he seemed and how much of that heard. Josh, Josh, I would rather, do you really want a non-alcoholic? Let's talk about it, okay? I would do it if you wanted it. I'd rather, you want, don't you want
Starting point is 00:42:57 soda? Don't you want, you want something that tastes delicious? What am I making? These non-alcoholics, I don't get it, Josh. Why do you want beer that tastes like beer that doesn't get you drunk? I actually have a question. As somebody who's sober, if you had that, wouldn't you just want real beer? It's a great question. I come from an old school meeting where I got sober was a bunch of old school guys 40, 50 years sober. Their feeling was, and it doesn't matter because everyone can do whatever the frick they want. Their feeling was, don't drink Odules or 0% beer, especially when you're getting sober, because you'll never lose the taste for it. And also, what are you going for here? It's not going to get you drunk. Yes. So I don't. But I know plenty of sober people who do,
Starting point is 00:43:41 And funny enough, recently I was at a friend's house and I was at my friend's in-law's house and they were like dead set on giving me a hynika, a hynican 0.0. And I'm like, I got 16 years sober. I don't want to offend these people. Okay, I'll have a sip. And I've had a sip here and there of 0% for like a movie or something when it has to look like beer in my glass. And I was like, this is delicious.
Starting point is 00:44:06 It was crisp and refreshing. But I probably wouldn't make a habit of it. I just think it's strange. I don't, I don't understand it. And like, like, you're seeing full-blown, like, non-alcoholic wine. Who wants juice? What about non-alcoholic tequila? But they don't make it Josh tastes like juice.
Starting point is 00:44:26 They make it taste like wine where it's bitter. Why do you want something you, like the tequila that you were just about to say, they make non-alcoholic, it burns your chest. Mm-hmm. You're drinking this and you still have a burn. The only benefit of the burn is that you're drunk. So, moral of the story, if you want to, if you like non-alc, I would love to. Otherwise, let's make a soda for you. Let's make a coffee for you.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Let's make something that you fucking love. Let's make egg salad sandwiches to go. Yes. Okay. At gas stations. Let's do it. That's my babe. Yeah, you got me hot and bothered.
Starting point is 00:45:00 The non-alc thing, it just, I just don't get it. Drink soda. What's wrong with seltzer? Ever heard of ginger ale? Love. Oh, have you ever had the Canada dry zero calorie? ginger ale? Of course. Unbelievable. Take me away.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Yeah, especially. You drew to the cranberry version. You ever have the cranberry? Fabulous. Unbelievable. I have a distinct memory. My grandma would buy it by the big bottle. And we'd sit in Queens at her table and we'd drink that red 40. And my mom would wonder, why haven't you gone to sleep? I miss her. Yeah, she's been dead a long time.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Bob Ishka. Yeah, good woman. Next one. Hey, Ben and Josh. Your theme song is so amazing. the first time I heard it, I rewineded your intro and listened to it again because it's so freaking good. Yes, Josh. I also wanted to say that I recently watched a clip of Joan Rivers in an interview and she said something along the lines of life can be hard. If you can laugh to make it easier, do it.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And if you can make someone laugh, it's like you're giving them a vacation. I feel like you guys do that for me and wanted to say thank you. Oh my. Also, my God. You might think my idea's nuts and that's okay. But what if you changed the name, speak pipe, to food for thought? Love you guys. Bye.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I love this woman. Me too. By the way, another thing, speak pipes, okay? Leave us compliments. Okay? Yeah. Come on. We'll play them.
Starting point is 00:46:31 I had to share that with you. Although I think it was amazing. And everybody's probably like, what are these guys nuts playing a compliment out loud? No, we don't get them enough. You guys just consume, consume. It's never, how are you? It's what can you do for me today? Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:47 How are you, Ben and Josh? You know, we're pretty great. But we're better now that we heard that lovely compliment that we made her day better. That's why we do it. It has nothing to do with the money. It's to make her day better. Just her. Honestly, Josh, we should stop running ads.
Starting point is 00:47:02 We should stop putting this on the RSS feed. We should just do it for her. You and her in a living room, an hour, two hours a week. As long as we make her happy. I would have. Nothing else matters. Next one from, I don't know. I have your opinion on whether or not I'm being dramatic or petty in this situation.
Starting point is 00:47:23 So I have an ex-buss friend who I had been a part of key moments in their life, like them getting married, I gave a speech. I was the first friend to meet their firstborn son and several other key moments. Then when it was my turn to get married, she ended up saying no to being a bride. made and did not attend the wedding, didn't send a card, nothing. So after I asked her to be a brismaid, I hadn't heard from her since. Then now it's been over a year since I got married and I'm pregnant and I posted about it on Facebook. She commented on it congratulating me. I liked everybody else's comment except for hers. I did not acknowledge the message because I just feel like it's
Starting point is 00:48:04 rude to not talk to me for over two years and then comment congratulating me on my baby as she's my friend still. So I guess I'm just wondering, do you guys think I'm dramatic or petty? Am I overreacting or am I justified in my actions? I think you have too much time on your hands. Look, I'm sorry. And if Olivia Josh,
Starting point is 00:48:25 you guys disagree with me, let me know. I think that this woman severely misread their friendship. If you invite somebody to be your bridesmaid, okay, you could think that you guys are really close. and they could say yes, but maybe they just weren't that close. It seems very strange to me, or you offended her in some way.
Starting point is 00:48:47 There's no way that all of a sudden she just cuts off communication for absolutely no reason. And then if you don't want somebody commenting on your photo, don't be their friend. It was this Instagram, be private and unfollow them
Starting point is 00:49:03 or don't let them follow you. Like, I don't understand. I think get over it. Olivia? I think that I've just noticed this like with my like aunts and my mother. Like some some of them have had instances with friends that they've had since they were like in middle school. And those friendships have ended for like a number of different reasons. But one that I know happened was jealousy and like not being able to like some relationship issues.
Starting point is 00:49:34 But nobody like did anything wrong really. But anyway, all that to say like it. sounds like something happened that offended this friend or, you know, perhaps maybe there was something that came up or that she didn't disclose to you. But I think that it's really like so, it's, it's really self-centered. I do think to like comment something like that, but not reach out personally after that much time. And it doesn't seem fair to say that publicly without like having it, ever giving an explanation for what the reason to like say no to such a big life. event and then just like turn around and never speak again. It seems really weird.
Starting point is 00:50:14 No good. No good. I love it. Actually, I mean, I do have experience with it. I have a friend who was a groomsman at my wedding. I was not asked to be a groomsman at his wedding, but I recognize that when I got married, we were much closer than when he got married. Sure. Like, I don't know if that's the same situation, but two years is a long time. And it also kind of sounds like this girl was just, she was upset that she wasn't included or that the girl just declined and didn't say anything. It doesn't sound like she ever asked her why. Like she didn't do what you did. What you did would piss me off. Somebody's upset at me. Tell me why you're upset at me. And then we can never speak again. But tell me. Tell me what I did wrong. At least closure. But if she never
Starting point is 00:51:05 even asked, that's weird too. And maybe the girl just like, I don't know, maybe it's just like, it sounds like it could just be like crazy miscommunication. Like you never know what somebody else is going through. Maybe she declined, God forbid, because her grandmother passed away. And she couldn't go and she forgot all about it. And she went to the funeral and, you know, they just weren't really that close anymore and they lost touch. And then she saw that she had a baby, so she wrote congrats. Like, you never know what somebody else is going through and thinking. I'm not saying that that's this situation, but without asking you'll, you'll never know. Right. How stupid would she feel? She goes to that girl. She's like, by the way,
Starting point is 00:51:40 what the fuck happened two years ago where you declined? Oh, I'm so sorry. My mother was hit by a car. How fucking stupid would she feel? God forbid. It's a hard. No? It's a hard balance. Olivia, tell me what you think. I like, not that I had very like meaning, you know, super long term relationships before my wife, but the one or two girls that I dated before my wife, like, we would break up and I was the one who instigated the breakup. And I like them as people very much and I would always feel bad and like their birthdays would be three or six months or even a year after we broke up and I would ask friends I'd be like can I like wish them a happy birthday or can I like send them flowers and unanimously people are like fucking no like leave them alone you
Starting point is 00:52:23 broke up with them it's hurtful like and of course right and like I have a buddy who I went to high school with and his name's crazy Steve and no I'm kidding But I have like buddies who I was like, we were thick as thieves as teenagers and in our 20s. And then we've totally lost touch. And like, I've seen from afar that he had a baby and he's married and he moved. And I'm like so happy for him. But it would be, you know, I want to say I'm so happy for you, dude. I love you, man.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Like even though we never see or we'll talk to each other. But it'd be too weird to reach out. So maybe on that person. because I see an event from somebody that I was really close to a full-blown decade ago where I feel in my heart I'm so unbelievably happy that you are married and you had a baby and I'm sorry that we lost touch but I still love you. Yeah. Like we're not friends anymore but just because we're not.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Nothing happened at least from my perspective and like you have those people that you grew up with that you just love. Like I, I, if I saw them, I would want to be. want to give them a huge hug. Maybe that's just me. Maybe they want to like, maybe they don't want to hug me if they saw me. But I don't know. But isn't it great? But then there are those great friends like, I would say it was like you and I before we started the pod where like we would talk quarterly. Or if you were in L.A. or I was in New York, we would make sure to have a meal. And it was great. Like I love you and I love seeing you. But it was like and I believe that if we didn't do the pod,
Starting point is 00:53:59 like we probably would have grown closer. But like I think we could have had that forever where it's like Ben's one of my best friends. I talk to him four times a year. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do. I do. And those are the best types of friends. Totally. Those are the low maintenance friends. Those are the ones that understand. It comes back to what I said before. Like you never know what somebody else is going through. Like some people are so neurotic and selfish that they can't think that the reason why maybe you have an attitude problem is because you're going through something, not because you hate me. Like I hate that. I hate that with people.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Like, oh, oh, you didn't respond to my text. What, like, like, I didn't respond to your text. Not because of you. I didn't respond to your text because I was clearly, I was busy. I was doing something. It was an accident. Call me tomorrow. I'll pick up.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Like, yeah. Those people that are just like, and I have these people too, where they just like, they always assume that you're angry at them. Yeah. And it's like, no, man, life's busy. I'm not angry at you. Shout out. funny you say that.
Starting point is 00:55:02 It reminds me of my good buddy, who's one of my best friends who listened to the pod. You know who you are. And who recently I couldn't get back to him for a day. And he was feeling slightly emo and said, hey, not sure if I did anything. And I'm like, you didn't. I just have children. Love you. I will call you ASAP.
Starting point is 00:55:17 But he recently has told me that he's been dating girls who, when they are canoodling, they have asked to film their canoodles and they leave his face out. He's pretty lazy fare. He doesn't mind. And I think it's 100% they are filming it for only fans. And he's like, no. I'm like, I don't think that's a new kink. I think they're monetizing, hooking up with you.
Starting point is 00:55:42 He has multiple girls doing this more than one or two. Olivia, love your thoughts. Yeah, he's probably meeting them at like an only fan's luncheon. And he's like, it can't be. No. It's impossible. He's meeting them at the AVNs. No.
Starting point is 00:56:00 No, they're definitely doing it for them. No, dude, it's multiple girls doing it. They all know each other and you're on the internet. No, but like on date, yeah, maybe they have a Reddit form. They must have a Reddit for them. On Hinge or whatever, on OnlyFans, not OnlyFans on like dating apps. And I'm so old. Oh, so you think the word is out.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Yes, absolutely. Oh my God. Absolutely. Josh, Josh, come on. Multiple girls are asking him separately to film sex. Can we call him? Yeah. Call him.
Starting point is 00:56:40 They won't hear you, Ben, but whatever. I'll relay. Oh, my God. Well, we're going to know who it is now. Oh, my God. My dog. Okay, listen, you're on the podcast right now. Feel free I can cut this out.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Do we have permission to record you? Are you kidding me? I'm waiting for this moment. Okay, Ben, are you hearing this? Yes. Oh, gosh. But he can't hear me, right? You can't hear Ben.
Starting point is 00:57:09 We're not that technologically sound yet, but I brought you up in a vague way. And Ben has... Wait, put him into your headphones. What? Flip one ear around. Okay, but, okay, I don't know. Hold on. I'm going to try to make it to that Ben can hear it.
Starting point is 00:57:23 You can hear Ben. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, my God. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is happening? Oh my God, hold on. This is a big moment. Okay, I can't hear anything.
Starting point is 00:57:38 What is happening? No, you're funny, you're funny, Dave. Okay, I just want, okay, Ben, talk for a second. Well, give him context, Josh. Can you hear him? No, you can't, right? No. Okay, I'm going to relay.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I'm going to relay. You know, okay, really like. Okay, here we go. All right, so really quickly, Dave, I told Ben that you have been going out on dates with girls and canoodling with more than one girl who is asked to film you guys hooking up. That's accurate. That's accurate. Okay. And I think it's because they are recording it and monetizing the canoodles for their only fans.
Starting point is 00:58:18 And Ben said, you're clearly on a message board or like the word is out. Like this isn't a coincidence. Oh, my God. Like what? Like Reddit or something? He's being hunted. You're being hunted, dude. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Ben, you talk and I will repeat. Okay, you are being hunted. This is not normal. Not normal. You think that you're just so lucky that you just find all these women that want to film having sex with you? You think you're so lucky you just found all these women who want to have sex with you? No. On camera.
Starting point is 00:58:48 I don't know. I think it could be some type of Gen Z revolution and I'm not trying to like corner myself in the age range on dating. but like I don't know. It's only in the past like two years that it's been happening. Like it's insane. And I'm not even talking about like the second or third day once we get to know each other. Like first time, first time we're hooking up like, hey, like I've always wanted to film. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:59:13 The word's out. Ben says, yeah, dude. The word's out. Where in which the word would be out? On love line or on Reddit? I actually had a girl. tell me that they looked me up on Reddit to see if there was any bad
Starting point is 00:59:30 stories, so maybe it's in the same message board. Yeah, maybe it's old school. Maybe it's on like a bathroom wall. Do Ben connect the dots from the previous episode about your mystery story? Ben, sorry, sorry. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:48 My TikTok account was just hacked. Claudia texted me, so. Oh, you've been hacked. I've been hacked. How do I, how do I change my password? I mean nuts is that when I asked them to send me the video, they don't do it. They want to send you the video? They're like, let me get a copy. And they're like, it's like, you know, they don't send it.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Here, Ben's dealing with his TikTok account being hacked because people are sick. People are sick. So I'll let Olivia weigh in on this. What do you think that these flusies aren't sending in the videos? It's not right that they're not sending you the video. You are in it. You're participating. You should have access to that footage as well.
Starting point is 01:00:26 well, it's like a huddle highlight. Like from, you know, like, the football players, they have, like, their tapes from the previous game. Like, you got to watch it again. No, I have no idea why they would be doing that or, like, what the, like, where, like, what, you said it's happening on the first date? Yeah, like, like, not the first date, but the first, the first hookup. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Like, it'll be the first time where, we're, uh, sexual with each other. And, like, they're, like, one film. And I'm like, uh, sure. Like, but there's, there's. There's a number of issues with it, which is one, like, if they are doing only fans, like, I want residuals. And two, it's like, that's my property, too, because I'm 50% of this production. Dave, will you come in in person and we can do this the right way? Because I really think we need to do this the right way and make this a whole segment and maybe bring in some experts.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I love you. Goodbye. I love you. Okay. Okay, now that, oh, I'm sorry, only fans isn't as interesting as your hacked TikTok account. Go, Ben. I wasn't hacked. Password frantically.
Starting point is 01:01:38 I wasn't even hacked. And I don't even understand. Claudia texted me. She's like, ignore Maddie, my sister, respectfully, blank. You're not being hacked. I'm like, what? Hey, bay. Well, that's your witty and nuts.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Wait, no, my sister commented on my last TikTok and somebody wrote back, thanks, Hart for your love and support towards my career, sweetheart, kindly message me privately to chat. I definitely was hacked. But that's, if they commented on your thing that maybe that's just like an impersonator in one of those accounts that looked just like your real account, click on it. Okay. It might go to an unverified fake. Oh, that's interesting.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Yeah. Oh, you think I have, oh, okay. All right, whatever. Sorry, folks. Sorry. You've made it. My God. This one was unhinged. Wow, this is an amazing episode, Josh. This was fantastic. And we still have what are you nuts. Would you want that to be your what are you nuts? Yeah, that's my what are you nuts. Was I hacked? Was I not hacked? I missed all of Kid David. We're here talking about him having sex on camera? I'm trying, I'm changing my TikTok.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I can count frantically. That's true. That's nuts. What are you nuts? He'll come in in person. My, yet again, another wonderful thing that I can't wait to just have gripes about with you when you have your beautiful child. Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem. Kids' birthday parties, you pay per head.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Kids, when they get to my son's age, five, six, seven, it's assumed they have siblings. When you are invited to a children's birthday party, and it says on the invitation, we kindly ask you not to bring siblings. If you bring said sibling, when on the invitation it says, we kindly ask, leave your little, your little nebish child at home. Don't on cocoa melon. Give them some fruit snacks and leave the little pisser at home. Figure it out. Or I know what the, oh, here we go.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Up, Josh is going to get beat up because what if we, well, what are we going to do with the other child? What if we don't have anyone to watch the other child? You drop off the child who's been invited and then you take the little whippersnapper and you sit in the car with them. How about that? They don't get to enjoy the festivities. They were not invited. It was said you cannot come.
Starting point is 01:04:11 What are you nuts? It's nuts. It's nuts. Of course it is. It's like if I was invited to a wedding and I decided to bring my sister, Claudia and my sister's fiance. Yes. No, I was invited.
Starting point is 01:04:24 This is nuts. Just because they're all young. Who knows? It's still an inaccurate count for pizza. Kids are going to be hungry. Kids are going to be hungry, okay? It's inaccurate. Maybe you paid per head for the laser tag or for the Charles Entertainment cheese.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Yes. Or for Dave and Busters. They run out of tickets. Scooters jungle. If anything, you can't just show up. If anything, Josh, call ahead. Say hi. I know that it says on the invitation, no siblings.
Starting point is 01:04:53 I would really appreciate it. the sibling could come. And then if you want to be a cock sucker, you can say no. But because they asked you, no, you're probably going to say yes. We set precedence. And listen, I'm sorry, there's no room at Charles entertainment cheese for Little Aiden. No, too young, too young. That's another thing. Be age appropriate, okay? Be age appropriate. This is a 60 year old's birthday party. Don't throw in your two year old randomly. What are they going to do? Listen, my wife and I, we did not specify for my son Max's birthday because we wanted the siblings to come because we've got it like that.
Starting point is 01:05:28 But some don't got it like that. Ben take us home. Some don't got it like that. Folks, this is, this is the end of that episode. Excuse me. Oh my God. If not five,
Starting point is 01:05:37 so bad. If not five, I'll do it quickly. I'll do it quickly. I'll do it quickly. If not five starts, what are you not listening to us on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast,

Starting point is 01:05:53 Wait, wait, are you still recording on your side? Yeah. Yep. Okay, are you still recording on this side? Uh-huh. Okay, everything's up. Okay, this will be for a separate episode, but I figure whether we want to air it or not, it'll be fun to have it recorded. Ben, Paige is pregnant.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Ah, yes. Excellent. Oh, that's so exciting. Thanks, guys. How far along are we? She's been pregnant since October, but we didn't want to say anything because you guys are having your first, and we didn't want to like take anything away from you guys. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:06:26 That is so exciting. Thanks. Thanks, guys. Oh, my God. I know. I could cry. We're both fathers. We're so lucky, Ben.

So we started to really tell. people and uh you know again i just wanted you to have your moment because having your first is so special and uh i don't know when we'll air this but i thought it'd be fun to just have and we can throw it on an episode whenever we have it then this is a great youtube short oh my god this is the best one now we just have to figure out how to extend it to eight minutes so we can do mid roll ads oh my gosh if i have another boy it's gonna be we're not gonna find out the gender because

Oh, man, am I putting out a spread? Walk us through because I'm down to make this eight minutes. Walk us through the spread for your child's bris. Listen, I'm going to have to.

You're going to hear me talk about the baby's name, why we chose it, how important family is to us, how thankful I am for our friends, how thankful I am for this life, this baby, upbringing, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:08:50 it'll be wonderful. Then we're going to move over and we are going to go for the spread. Okay. We are talking, first and foremost, there will be an omelet station.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Okay, you can make your own omelet. We're then going to move over. There's going to be like some classic hot dishes. We'll have like a French toast. We'll have a pancake, etc. But in the middle,
Starting point is 01:09:10 this is a bagel bar like you've never seen. We're talking everything. We're even going to throw on the Biallis, but we're talking plain sesame, poppy, everything, onion, garlic, biollies. Maybe a butter fountain. Like the chocolate fountain.

Okay, hear me out. Ooh. Oh, go the bagel on the machine. You shoot them with cream cheese from every angle.

Starting point is 01:10:22 What, what grandparent are you supplying a herring for? Just whoever shows up. Whoever's there. Somebody's going to need a herring. And then we're going to have a gorgeous, just table of desserts. We're talking everything from black and white cookies to Eclaires to, we're doing rainbow cookies. I demand a rainbow cookie.

Rainbow cookie. Yes. Hot coffee, ice coffee bar, both of them, and of course, a fresh squeezed juice station. Josh, would you like fresh squeezed orange?

Starting point is 01:11:11 That's right. Yeah, we are. Yeah, we are. I thought you're going to say fresh grapefruit juice, which you know could kill me. I'm on cholesterol meds. But it also, imagine, oh my God, the heartburn from a sip of fresh grapefruit juice. I love grapefruit juice. You do a 50-50 grapefruit orange split. Take me away. It is just, who, it's delicious.
