A mother's dream, premium podcast team, make it your weekly routine, it's a good guys. And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts? What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys. We're not the great guys. We're just so good a good guy.

Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast and happy week after Mother's Day. Happy week after Mother's Day, Josh. By the way, we couldn't recap Mother's Day faster. What do you want from us, okay? How was your Mother's Day? You told me you had a double header at Little League. Happy Mother's Day to Page. We had a double header at Little League, which was the worst scheduling in the history of

man. Little League is a racket that's unacceptable and unnecessary. And I told you, I think we've covered this, but I'm disappointed with the human race because parenting is not that hard if you're like trying and these parents would rather be sipping on the Mai Tai than managing their child.

Wow. Wow. Yeah, wow. So is there a lot of drinking that goes on at Little League or is that like a metaphor sipping on the Mai Tai? There is. Wow, Sprit Society's got to start sponsoring Little League.

Who knew? What an untapped market. I had no idea. First of all, the fucking Little League section for the audience. I'm such a performer for the crowd. Bro, it's like a fucking

Greyhound bus terminal, okay? These fucking millennial parents are sipping so hard. I'm like, why don't you just, you know, you think you're fancy because you're putting it into my tie. Fucking put it in a paper bag and look like the degenerate wino you are. Because we all know you're about three drinks deep, hon.

They're bringing my ties to Little League. If they are, That's more degenerate than drinking a beer out of a paper bag. You're mixing cocktails. What are you nuts? It is such a joke. It is so unacceptably run. This age is so fucking awful for literally.

Because it's still this hybrid system or we're like parents just mosey on into the dugout with their fucking Mai Tai and they're like schmoozing. It's like there needs to be separation of church and state. If the coaches are going to coach, then they can talk. shit to your kids, sit in the peanut gallery and watch and root. You know? What time is this doubleheader? What time do things kick off? I have to imagine it's early, earlier in the morning, right? 11? It's no, no, no. It was from two to six. What the fuck? Two to six. What are they crazy? You're typically asleep by six. Six o'clock. You've stopped eating. You're done eating before the game even starts. This is no good. Two to six. I was expecting maybe you were going to

say, I was hoping for like nine to one, a double header. It should be sitting 11 to 1. That's normal. Right. Two to six. Two to six? Each game has a 90 minute cutoff. And then so it's basically three hours, but there's some filler time in between.

And first of all, the umpire looked like he had just left one of my 12 step meetings and he was not getting the miracle. Okay. I was like, you reekaboo, sir. And then. And then again, by the way, what is it, what is it a little league? You think you're upset being a volunteer coach? What is a little league ump supposed to do?

He's got to be plastered. I don't blame him. I don't blame him at all. Like there are certain people you look at them. You're like, maybe you should get some help. Um, no. Help would hurt him. Imagine if now he's sober doing Little League.

No good, Josh. No good. No, I was passing a muscle relaxers to keep him in our pocket because literally our umpire was so late that he had. He had a small folding chair right over to the side of the outfield that he would sit in in between innings. But the problem is, and we've covered this, Ben, is like, millennial parents are failing their kids in mass. And it's a trickle-down effect because the boomers were such fucking garbage, god-offal parents. And so because the greatest generation that raised the boomers, right, went to war.

And so the boomers were like, my parents didn't show me any love because they were busy fighting Hitler. Okay. So then they were like, they came up in the revolution of therapy. So they were like, I'm going to be a toxic shithead to my kids, but give them therapy and thus I'm good. Right? Yeah. Yeah, totally. The millennials, what they've done to their kids, and I'm part of this.

trend, except I'm better than all of them. And so are you, Ben, is that is that they've made these kids feel as though they have no limit. That I will, I've lost it, which thank God the season is over tonight, because I'm going to, it's bad.

I told you, I'm going to get punched in the face. And these kids are eight, right? We're talking eight-year-olds? Seven and eight-year-olds. Seven and eight-year-olds. So I just want everybody to know, because we're not talking about, this is, like, they've probably been playing Little League for two years at this point, a lot of them? Right? Like, this isn't their first game. They're not four.

Eight-year-olds. You should be able to coach eight-year-olds. You should be able to coach eight-year-olds. I've met some wonderful eight-year-olds. Your son, incredibly coachable. If your kid isn't coachable, get them into something else. What's wrong with the arts? Nothing, Josh. Nothing's wrong with the arts. Try the arts. By the way, one strict piano tutor commenting on the arch of their hand, they'll be fixed. The problem is nobody's sending them to have their arch hit by a ruler. Nobody's sending in their kids to have their arch hit by a ruler anymore. Okay, we need more arches hit by rulers. I used to have a Russian piano teacher named Mikhail,

and he would come in and it was like the cold breeze of Siberia entered my apartment in our Hollywood. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, that, by the way, that was the norm. Yeah. That was the norm. If you had a piano teacher, they were fucking mean. Yeah.

Okay? And the reason they were mean, Josh, is because they were trying to teach you something. something incredibly difficult at a very young age. And in order to get results, you had to be a little bit mean. Yes. You had to be a little bit mean. You had to.

And that's exactly what it has to be in sports. It's I remember perfectly. I hated early on my coach because he would make me in basketball do suicides. But by the way, looking back on it, I was a portly 10-year-old. I had to do suicides. Otherwise, I couldn't play. I had to lose weight. Otherwise, I couldn't play.

He couldn't look at me and say, hey, 10-year-old fatty, you got to lose some weight. He should keep framed that is you got to do suicides. You got to run. We got a condition. But really, looking back on it, you need to be in shape if you're going to play fucking sports. I don't care how old you are, except for baseball. Baseball, you can be nice and big, big and hit home runs. But otherwise, you've got to be in shape.

I couldn't agree more. I think one of the greatest gifts you can give a kid and they can discern whether it's true people being mean or actually mean that is inspiring growth. Everyone, like that Russian piano teacher, I have. The reason why I liked him, even though he was mean as hell, but he would bring me little Gendys too right after I blew him. No. But you know what?

I got really good, really quick on piano because he was a fucking great teacher. If you can teach your kid to be like, the person who is tough but makes you better quickly is a winning combo. And to not be afraid of that, but to appreciate that is such a gift you can give your kid. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's a problem. I wonder if this is an L.A. problem? No, I think it's...

Or if this is a... You think it's a generational problem? Like, I wonder if this is what's actually going on in Little League in Georgia. It's probably better there, but yeah, it's probably worse in cities like New York and Florida and L.A. But yeah. And L.A. Yeah, but it's still bad. Tell me about your Mother's Day, Ben.

It sounds fabulous. I like a movie, but I really want a movie where you are a Little League coach and you are teaching the youth of tomorrow. I think it's wonderful. Speaking of not wonderful, though, Josh, I just watched the worst Hallamark movie of all time. This Mahjong movie, I tried to watch it. Oh my God. This was, and somehow, for whatever reason, Tia Mari and what's her name from? Tia Mari, it sounds like a drink at the four seasons Wilea.

Tia Mori, Mory's daughter. And what's her name? Barbara Jean from Riba. What is the actual actresses name? I don't remember. They're randomly in this terrible movie. Terrible. I usually won't allow any Hallmark dragging on our show.

I'm sorry. Some of them were not good. And some of them are so good. No, but yeah, no, we're pitching, though. Look, Hallmark, this is a flop, okay? The not flop is going to be Josh as a little league coach. He's going to come in and he's going to teach the youth of tomorrow. Okay?

Let me ask you this. And just comparing this to great dramas, right? League of their own. Yeah. Coach Carter, Hardball. Yeah. What's the one with Walter Math out with the fucking, you know, the bad news bears, Gene Hackman and Hoosiers?

Has there ever been a good movie where the coach goes, you're doing great buddy when they suck? No. No. It's, we need mean coaches. We need them to fucking be tough. That is inspiring. Need it.

And also I think it's a little bit young. Eight years old is a little young, but like you need somebody that's like from the wrong side of the tracks. Like maybe one of your kids is smoking cigarettes and encouraging the others to do so. You need a storyline like that. You need something in there. Okay. But then this is this is a, this is a movie, Josh.

I know. This is it. You think I don't know? I know. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Zizol. Folks, you know Zizal?

We had such a fabulous weekend, Josh. Yeah. We had a fabulous weekend. We went to, there's a Pendry in Los Angeles, right? Uh-huh. Yeah, so we were already at this amazing hotel in New Jersey called the Pendry. Literally fantastic, Josh, okay? Fantastic.

The food was fantastic. An hour away from the Xfinity Center. And I have to shout out, I mean, what wife travels to an away Nick's game on Mother's Day? Wow. I mean, just like unbelievable. her idea. Yeah. And it's so, it's, you've gotten to see this already. It's just amazing to see things through your son's eyes. Like it's for the first time. Like, I know that she was so excited to go to that game just to watch what it was like to be an 11-month-old Ruby at a basketball game. And I love that. That's the best way to spend Mother's Day. But like, it just, it was amazing. And she's amazing. And we get there, Josh, and I had bought tickets in a suite. I literally looked on Stubhub, and we thought the only way, like, if I sit with Ruby in regular seats,

like, there's just like too much going on, right? So I bought two tickets in a suite on Stubhub. Middle of the first quarter, no one's there. We're alone. There's no one in the suite. Five minutes later, 19 Hasidic Jews walk in. I swear on my life. I swear on my life, it is a 100%

Pacific sweet. And they couldn't be nice or whatever. But I was thinking to myself, when I walked in, I'm like, oh, all the drinks are locked up. There's no food. They tried to, they got special permission to bring in their own food. They declined them at the door, but they got pre-authorized. They have these 10 platters of pastrami sandwiches sitting in the car. Can you imagine, Josh, if I walked into a fucking sweet with kosher pastrami?

That is so good. I can't. So good. And the last thing is, I broke a. seat at the suite. I went in, I sat in the first seat, and it cracked and hit the floor. And I just think that's an Xfinity problem. Like, I don't really want to get too down on myself. I think that that's like, I think that's a them problem, not really mean. What's our Zepbound milligrams? Are we, are we at a five? So we've actually been, uh, transition. We've been off

everything for about two months. Um, but we'll be back on really soon. We didn't love Zepbound. Interesting. So we wanted to recalibrate and go back. into maybe an Ozempic or O'Agovi. Hey, look, all available on row.com. All available on Roe.com. What was? Who are the absolute best. But yeah, Zepbound.

What were the issues? It didn't make me, it didn't make my head feel good, Josh. It made me a little, it made me a little sad. I had never, and I don't feel that. I know. And Ozempic never made me feel that way. Like the vials that I was getting on the street. Never made me feel that way.

And then I started to look up like, is that a potential side effect? And it is. And it made me feel a little sad. Like the world around me was a little bit grayer. And I was like, fuck this. I'm out. And I just stopped taking it. And I feel a thousand times better.

So I'll go back into Ozempic or Wagovi or it was really helping with weight loss. I think it's the better weight loss drug. But at least for me, I'm not claiming that this is a thing for everyone. But for me, Zepound made me feel a little sad. Fascinating. I, too, have felt a little bit of those. I mean, granted, it's never easy to tell with me because I'm on so many psych meds. But interesting.

I, too, have felt a little bit of that rainy cloud feeling from my microdose. So then I think you should look into switching to another one. I know a bunch of people who have felt this way. And I can tell you that I never felt that way on Ozempic. Is it maybe less effective? Yeah, but it's still really effective. Like, I don't need the best weight loss drug that also makes me depressed. I need a good weight loss drug that doesn't affect my mental health, which it definitely did.

If you think about the effects of what it has, right, it's like dealing with the dopamine center in your brain, right? Like the reward center. Yes. So if it's turning, I don't think it can decide, oh, I'm only going to turn it down for food. It's got to turn down more chemical. And so everything lacks a little bit of the vibrancy that it once had. Totally. I just never felt that with OZempic.

I never felt that with the GLP ones. Maybe it's that second one or whatever that really goes in and does what you're saying, which is why it's such an effective weight loss drug. Like people are losing, it's flying off with these GLP. Is it GLP 2s? Is that technically what they're called? Yeah, now there's Reddit True Tide, which is a GLP3. and that just means that the hottest people ever

are all going to be killing themselves. Oh my God. Enjoy being skinny in a casket. Like, I don't want that at all. I'm very, very happy with my Gen 1, GLP 1 that helps me eat less, keeps me healthy, but doesn't affect whatever's going on up here.

That was the first time that I've ever had that where I couldn't explain it, right? Like, of course, I'll be sad about something and I'll be able to explain it or identify it. This is very scary, Josh, being sad and not knowing why. Wow, welcome. I hated it. Welcome.

I hated it. Isn't that? Welcome to the worst club in the world. No one wants to be a member. It was really bad. So I was like, fuck this. I talk about it because I hope it can be helpful to anyone listening. Like, that's the thing about depression is that there's no good rhyme or reason.

And you can't throw logic at it. And it's like arresting. And at its worse, I've described it as it's like I'm treading water. And I'm alive, but it's exhausting. And it gets harder to like the gaps in between getting that big breath become longer. And you're like, oh, no. Because you don't want it to take too long. Okay.

Most importantly, when the 19 Hasidic Jews walked into the suite, did you welcome them with, Haslam al-a-a-a-a-a-a-oh? No. I honestly in my head I was just like can I go to a Knicks game and not meet Fussets? Oh my God, you attract them. I do.

It was it was amazing. Hashem was in the house. Did they give you food? By a million immediately. They didn't get food, Josh. They wouldn't let him in. He got a pre-approved and then they stopped them with their 10 platters at the door. That's horrible. That's why they were late.

Horrible. Yeah, they were late because they couldn't get their food in. Can you imagine? Terrible. So we were all there hunger. Actually, no, I was eating French fries. That is such a mistake by the 76ers or the Xfinity Center because you know those Hussids are not paying for those tickets now.

The level of kovetching that's going on, you pre-approved. They certainly shouldn't. I mean, that's crazy. It's crazy. Pre-approved, they come with 10 platters. And by the way, if you own a suite, you can bring whatever the fuck you want. I don't think that's true. Can you?

No. Why not? You don't think you can't? No. Okay, so maybe I'm wrong. But in your case, I'm sure that the religious exemption, but I don't think you could be like, we'd like to have, you know, Band Express. I'm saying you could cater it.

At least I thought that's what you could do. Like I've had, I've gotten like in a suite, for example. I've asked beforehand if they could order Spritz Society to the suite so that I had it for the people that were with me. And you go and you still pay for it. It's not like bring your own. Like you pay for it. I've at least seen that before. Maybe, maybe.

I guess the bringing in part. They should have the Xfinity Center order it, but then you never know. Whatever. Yeah, so they were, it was turned away at the door, Josh, and I would have loved to have seen the spread. Now, would you have, did you wear a Knicks gear?

Oh, yeah. I wore a Knicks hat. I wore a Knicks jacket. Ruby wore a Knicks onesy. Claude wore a Knicks jacket. We were nixed out. And let me tell you, 70% of the arena was nixed out.

Because that's brave. Because like my boy, Benchie Klein. or shoutout is the ultimate New York Knicks fan. And he's like, but I mean, he literally, like, I'll call him. When the Knicks were down, oh and two in the series, I called him. And I'm like, are you okay? And he's like, nah. And I'm sorry, in the first series before Philly.

But I was like, are you okay? And he goes, nah, nah. And I was like, and so when we were talking about Philly, he's like, I can't travel to that game because like, I'll be too, I'll be too much. And it will risk my safety at a Philly stadium. Yeah, I've been to a lot of away games, and I just don't give a fuck. I'm not looking to start stuff with anybody, but I am unapologetically screaming, rooting. Oh, you're crazy.

In Philly? You wouldn't go in Giants gear to an Eagles game. I would. No, I would. That's dangerous. That's bad for your health. I would. The thing is, the 76ers soul has been taken from them, Josh.

They're not fighting in this series. The series is over, we swept them. This was, this was a beating. There were no angry 76ers fans there. There were no 76ers fans there. It was insanity. I've never ever been to a game like this in my life where the crowd was significantly louder

every single time the Nick scored. The 76ers fans sold their tickets. They're like, fuck this. This isn't, it's not it this year. It was crazy. I've realized the problem, Josh. They need to move the Xfinity Center where the 76ers play. And literally that's right next to Lincoln Field or whatever where the Eagles play.

They need to move it way further into Philly, way further into Pennsylvania. Because it's right now way too close to New Jersey. It's a two-hour drive from Manhattan. You are welcoming enemies by being this close. I'm sure that that doesn't happen at a Pittsburgh Steelers game because it's way too far. We're not driving nine hours to go to a giant Steelers game. We are driving two hours to go and see the Knicks for a quarter of the price than the garden. Like Knicks fans are eager to go to Philly because they save $1,000, at least a ticket.

I just, yeah, rolling through Pennsylvania when you're in between Pittsburgh and Philly, you realize why that state is purple. because, let me tell you, you out in the country dog and everybody looks like Shane Gillis. It's just like New York. It's like you start driving up New York. Drive from Manhattan to Buffalo. It's every state.

And you will see, yeah, but these are big states, I guess. Like, are these big, I guess maybe, I don't know if they're bigger than most. Yeah, no, they're huge. California, you drive from San Jose to Modesto. You're going to see some different types of people. The best. That's the real, those are the real winners of California because they don't like Gavin Newsom, but they do like to party.

They like a nice buzz ball and a tiner of something good. Yeah, don't we? Wow. So there you were, man. You were there. You're Timothy Shalamey traveling for the Knicks. I was there. I'm Timothy Shalamee traveling for the Knicks.

I love it. And I'm already thinking, what away game. We don't know if they're going to play the Cleveland Cavaliers. or the Detroit Pistons, but I can tell you, I will be going to an away game. Wow. One of them.

This is the greatest chance. By the way, we're a sports podcast. This is the greatest chance we have to win a championship in our lifetimes. It's like not even close. The Celtics were the team to beat in the East.

They're dead. Philly killed them. And then we killed Philly. Now it's between the Pistons and the calves, both of which we can beat. And then we go to the fucking finals. It's the craziest. Like, this is 34 years of fandom. Like, I can't believe it. Like, are the

Knicks going to be good in my son's lifetime? Is that what it is? The Knicks are just good. It was Ruben. It's crazy. It was Ruben. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by Zeni. Folks, I have so many pairs of glasses, okay? Let me tell you, I have scratched glasses. I have glasses where the hinge is kind of off. I have glasses that I just can't possibly clean. I don't know why. They have that smudge. I don't want to wear them. They're so old that I don't want to wear them. And by the way, I get a new one and all of a sudden they're bad too. I don't know what it is. I'm just squinting through scratches. It's just, it's 2026. Why does it feel so difficult to replace glasses? If only there was a way to make it easier. And that's Zeni.

folks. Zeni Optical fixes all of that because Zeni is an online eyewear shop. Prescription glasses, sunglasses, blue light lenses, starting at just 30 bucks.

You guys make me wish I was Jewish. That's very, very sweet, especially to be the same climate. Anyways, I need advice from some fellow parents. I have two beautiful, healthy daughters, and my husband and I are over the moon for them, of course. We've decided that we feel lucky with the two and do not want any more kids. When people ask, are you done having kids because naturally people can't help themselves? I say, yes, we're done.

And they always come back with, well, you don't want to try for a boy? Or why don't you want to give your husband a boy? I just don't know what to say to these people anymore. I need something to say to shut them up, but not come off as a total bitch. My husband tells people he has two healthy kids, and that's more than he could ever ask for. But I'm at a loss for words at this point. I love any help you can offer. Thank you.

I love you both. First of all, my favorite quote is, I don't care about your boo. because I've seen what you cheer. Pinterest. Secondly, you don't need anyone else's acceptance or their unsolicited advice.

Because the truth is, no one's going to be there for you when this shit gets hard. They're not going to be there. No. Certainly not the random person. No, no. Never. Never.

never. So to answer your question, I, B.H, I want to have a big, beautiful family. But yeah, we're, we're being asked. But you don't feel that all the time. I'm only asking you because I don't want you to feel pressure or like these ignoramus is giving you a hard time. I think that, I think that because Claudia and I were together for so long and didn't have, like, didn't try for a baby, I think it, it took the pressure off. Yeah, there's no pressure. Like, we were together for nine years and we popped out Ruby. BH, healthy, thank God. Yeah, there's no pressure.

I haven't felt it from anyone. I think I must just have like a good circle around because clearly whoever's right to her or whoever's talking to her, they got to mind their own fucking business. If somebody says I have two healthy daughters, I'm good, there is no, there's nothing else you can possibly say. Why would you say, you don't want to die for a boy? Why would you say that? Like, because people are at a default uncomfortable with their lives.

They can't help themselves. They pinch, they poke, they prod. Triple P. I know. I just, I don't know why. Like, are people. People are boundaryless. They have no limits.

They want you to be as miserable as they are. They want you to be as miserable as they are. They do. They absolutely do. I work on it all the time. You know, I was, I was in a 12-step meeting. And it was sort of like the topic was, asking a higher power, whatever you believe in, to show me, to help me see where I have defects.

And I really, I really identified with that because I think that I know all of them. And the truth is, like, there are things that I'm not even aware of that I'm doing that put me in conflict with people or with just a road to happiness. And it might be subtle, it might be more glaring. It's probably more subtle, which is why I don't notice it. But this idea that like, and that's what's great about having a partner. Because what can be revealed is, oh, God, I didn't even know I do that. And so many people don't realize that they're like, no, no, I'm complete.

I'm baked. This cake has been baked. No, for sure. I, it's on a different level. But I'm very, very conscious these days of even my thoughts, which is different than what I say. I'm very, very conscious of, oh, that was a really, really mean thing to think. You shouldn't be thinking that way.

I don't know if you ever have that, but I have that internal. I think that if you train, I'm trying to train myself to just not think so meanly. Like, and it's funny sometimes too, but it's also sometimes mean. It's like, why did you immediately, why did your brain go to that? Why did it go to such a mean place?

Which I, I don't know. I'm just like, I guess it's hard to please thought, but I'm trying to see if I can train it a little bit better because sometimes I'm disgusted with myself. I'm like, what? What the hell?

Why did you think that? That's so mean. Do you ever have that? I do. I think like there's a 12 step adage of we can't control our first thought, but we can control our first action, right? So.

Sure. Okay. Well, I'm good at controlling the action. But I don't even want the thought. I don't want it. I want to just like not like, Like, yeah. Like, I think it's just, I'm quick to anger.

I'm quick. And it doesn't mean that I execute or, or, you know, deliver on that anger. But I feel it. And it's like, it's just like a sharp. It's like lightning. And I just get really annoyed really quick. I'm like, fuck that. And I just have to be like, reel it in, Peck.

Like, reel it in. So it's interesting that you say that. Another thing that I'm acutely aware. of and becoming more aware of is when I feel that way and I think I'm not acting on it, you can still see me feeling it and that means I've acted on it. Does that make sense? Yeah. When you're sitting in the room with somebody who's a fucking misery, but in their head,

they're like, I'm not complaining. I'm not telling all the people around me, all the things that are in my mind. But we can see you grumpy. and by you being a big grump, you're ruining, you're ruining this dinner, for example. But that person doesn't see it. That person thinks that they're holding it in.

It's the same way like when you'll turn to your wife or someone and say, are you mad at me? And they say no. And it's like, I know you're fucking mad at me. So just tell me. It's the same thing. Like they think that they're not,

they think that they're doing something noble by holding it in and not just being angry. And in turn, they actually end up ruining the next three hours when they could have just had like a one minute explosion and it was over. Yeah, maybe the meanest thing anyone's ever done to me is in a relationship

was a friendship where he just walked away. It was like, I'm done with you. And like never, he didn't even say that. It just was like, and we were like in contact all the time constantly. And it just was like, I don't want to work together anymore.

And it's all good. It's all good. I just don't want to do that. And then I was like, obviously and like I chased him like he was my dad for for a month or two I was like I even made an amend to nothing I was like clearly I did something or said something and I'm very sorry like and he wouldn't even acknowledge that and I was like and I know to him he thinks us not having it out was nicer and it's so wrong like you avoiding it yeah it was probably it was probably nicer for him

yeah really mean it was probably nicer for him it's not nicer for you no closure's to terrible place to be in. Especially because it was like there was nothing glaring. Like obviously you go back and you do the forensics and you think God. And of course we all think about a million things like, oh, maybe I was a little sarcastic or maybe I was a little bit too opinionated. But it wasn't like I fucked his girlfriend. You know what I mean?

Like it wasn't anything where I was like, yeah, I don't blame him. I was like, this was not deserving to be cut off forever. But even if you did something horrible like fuck this girlfriend, which you're be horrible. Like, there's still typically a, fuck you, you fucked my girlfriend,

I'm not talking to you. Like the, the act of walking away, I think is, is a very new school, very therapist way of dealing with someone. You think it's therapist?

It's this idea. I think that it's this talk that we spoke about on a recent podcast where I think that it's TikTok taking, or maybe it was that post article where it's from the past episode, where it's TikTok is taking therapy speak and making it something that is every day acceptable. This idea that if something's not right, just get rid of it.

You don't need it. You know, this idea that like if it's not serving you, bye bye or if it's, we don't need that type of person in our life. Like, you still need to do the right thing and explain to that person why they're not right because maybe you're wrong, you fucking narcissist. Like, it's not, it's not the cool thing to just ghost someone because you don't think they're right for you. Do you think, I don't know how you and Claudia are, though, like, I've had to be, I've had

to learn to be less codependent with my wife because there are times where I've done something or turned her off. and I know she's in a bad mood, but we're not allowed to talk about it until she's ready, if ever. And I have to go, okay, I was human and I messed up. I said the wrong thing, I did the wrong thing,

like, all right, within reason. But like, I don't get to, what I would initially do is mope and be like, well, the day's ruined. I'm like, oh, it's over now? Which of course, was like a fucking, Warhead ick right into her soul. Like, that's a mega-ick.

But now I just said to be like, don't be a codependent loser. Like, if she wants to be annoyed and be in her feelings, like, then you have to go on with your life and day. Right? You have to go along. And vice versa. I'm sure she does it with me.

100%. And I think that after years of doing that, you start to realize that you were you were wrong not always but there are a lot of times we're in the heat of the moment something will happen i'll be really upset and i'll be like she did me dirty and then after that couple of hours you at least for me i'm like yeah you know maybe maybe i overreacted or something and i'm like you i want to hash out everything right now right and that's why when Me and you have our once every nine month little spat. We both go after it because we want to hash it out now.

That's it. And when you run into people that don't want to hash it out now, it's hard. But you can, like, I've found some very valuable learnings from it, which is that if I didn't hash it out now, I might not need to hash it out. It might not need to be that deep. It might be just like something so much less than this deep cut that I'm feeling in the moment. It's not that deep, bro. it's, it's, most of the time at least, it's not that deep.

Sometimes it's fucking deep. But I jump, which I feel like you do too, I jump to, it's the deepest thing of all time. Right. And then I settle and it's like, it's not that deep. I do want to settle it quick, but I realize that you don't get to dictate the terms of the settlement. Like, if the person is scorned. That too. And this is specific to your wife, right?

Because even you and I, like, if you're like, I need some time, I'm pissed. I can be like, talk to you in a couple days. Love you. Goodbye. You know, like, but. Totally. Totally. It's different.

We're trapped. We're trapped with each other. Like, right? And fuck. Yeah. I want to watch, I want to watch something on HBO Max. Like, I don't want it to be weird. Yeah, it's funny.

Claude is always like, I want to watch something on HBO Max. Let's not be weird. And I'm like, but I want to talk about it. And I've gotten so. much better at that because yeah, I'm a big fucking pussy. Like, shut the fuck up, Ben. Like, she wants to drop it, drop it. Right.

You don't have to dig deeper on something. It can be over. Watch TV. Forget about it. Because it was insignificant to begin with. 99% of the time. That 1%, okay, most of the time, it's not significant. I love to blow it up.

Isn't it funny how the, but, like, I want to blow it up. But the, and once you get married, there's really, No such thing is like makeup canoodling. Like you will make up, but you probably won't canoodle over it. Why would you? Why? Yeah, because why would you want? By the way, the idea of makeup canoodling is insane to me.

Like, it doesn't even make any sense. Like, I was just so angry at you. I'm not all of a sudden like charged to animalistically have sex with you. Like I was just pissed to you. I agree to disagree. I just want to go to sleep. Like, that's it. Like, I'm done.

Okay? Or eat something. I want to eat. Ugh. Give me a fucking bucket of pad tie. Argument over? Bring on the pad tie. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Nutraful.

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Branch Basics. Here's the thing, folks, about cleaning products. You use them every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. On the counters where you prep your food, in the laundry detergent you're soaking your clothes in.

Stop lying. Of course you don't know.

You just picked up the product that you've always picked up. You have no idea. And let me tell you, your home environment plays a much bigger role in how you feel than most people realize. A lot of conventional products look clean, smell clean, even say natural, but many still contain ingredients linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and respiratory issues, all just because I clean my house?

After you purchase when they ask where you heard about them, please make sure to mention our show. Well, did you know that the New York Post says that Forskin Reconstruction is dividing penis doctors inside the promises and pitfalls. Every so often, Dr. Lawrence Levine fields a phone call from a circumcised man desperate to restore his penis to its original glory. Levine, a boarded sort of by urologic surgeon in Chicago, said he does a fair amount of penile cosmetic surgery,

but he doesn't replace foreskin lost to circumcision. A man should be happy with the appearance of their penis. And it's just that I haven't seen a technique that really works. And also I have concerns about this patient population in terms of their expectations, what can be done, which is why I really haven't engaged in the process. but it's happening maybe I'm wrong

like you can be a little bit more open about it and not judgmental but like talk about it like I would never like thank God maybe this happens in heterosexual relationships but like Claudia would never look at me and tell me something negative about my penis like would that ever happen

um no but I think it's I would bet you it's much more of these raw milk food uh you know body optimist minimizing people. I understand.

I understand. I understand. Yes, that makes sense. I don't understand it then. I understand what you're saying, but I don't understand it. Because there's some men, obviously they've said before

that there's nerve endings that get lost in the whole thing, but like they certainly can't, they can't replace those, right? So it's a purely external thing. So it's just like this feeling of like, I was intervened as a baby with something I wasn't cool with now.

And so I want to go back to the way I was made. Got it, got it, got it, got it. I understand. People are fat banking for future plastic surgery, the New York Post writes, but it's risky. Was it like to market deposit? Body bank, cosmetic surgeons are increasingly fielding requests for fat banking with patients planning for the future with a literal bound to flesh. Fat banking is a process of removing a patient's own fat, typically through liposuction,

and then freezing and storing it for potential use in future cosmetic procedures. Wow, what cosmetic procedures needs your fat? Frives. Cool. Okay. I mean, really good, here's a thing, good fat that's actually they remove it, they mold it, they make it all pretty imperfect. Like, it's the ultimate filler, right? It's from your body.

It can be used to plump, whatever you need. It's not foreign. But the issue is, from what I understand is, fat migrates. right like once your body takes it back in it'll move it yeah so you like inject it in your eyebrow or in your lips not in your eyebrow nobody wants a full full full eyebrow put a little bit in your lips and all of a sudden you just like have a fat cheat yeah it could be never know it'll probably yeah it goes to your throat you just have a big you know you're like egg i already have a big enough neck nothing worse than that you go into store like i'm thinner these days i'm still 17

You're 17? Yeah, maybe a 16 and a half these days. You're a big kid. I love it. I know. You look great. I can't get like, yeah, but like you can't. It's like, I can't be a smaller neck.

You could, but you know, it would change you. Yeah, no, I don't want it. Yeah, 16 and a half. Well, meet the cheese witch who can read your destiny in a chunk of cheddar. It's, it acts as the connection. The Wheel of Fortune is made of cheese. Cheese. Self-professed cheese witch, Jen Billock, has an unusual and edible approach to divination.

Rather than tarot cards, tea leaves, or open palms, she's reading cheddar. One of my first food memories is looking into a cheese cave with my parents and being like, oh my God, Billock told, first of all, there's a cheese cave. All I know is I need to see this woman. She's cute. I mean, a cheese cave sounds like something that they would have in like, Wisconsin at the like the the tourism board city center like come into the Wisconsin cheese cave yeah and literally like come in with your your own tools and like take cheddar off the wall

that sounds like the greatest place in the world but this lady this lady is cute look I here I don't know if you'd be able to see her but here I can't really but she looks like a cheese lover great I love a cheese lover staring through some fucking y'all's brink oh what's better than Yarlsburg. There's so many cheeses, Josh. You know, Parmesan, people love it. But then its cousin Pecorino Romano is forgotten. People love Swiss, but then all of a sudden,

a Yarlsburg is forgotten. When was the last time you had some Monsego, okay? People forget about Monshego. When was the last time you had some Monserro, 2.5 millionaires? When was the last time you had some Muster? Okay, people forget. These are the forgotten cheeses. That's so funny that you could be so fat to say,

I've been injecting Monshego for two months. I'm on 2.5. It's once a week. Road.com. Get your Monsego. Get your Monsego. It's a GLP too, Monsego.

My thing, great protein. Monsego. Should we get to Wittier Nuts? We should. Josh, please tell us. What's Wadier Nuts? Moment of the Weeks are gripes, with people, places,

but also things, Anything bigger tall sticking in yo craw. Go for it, Ben. Josh, let me show you. Let me see if you can see this picture. Okay. This is my wedding annettes. Can you see this or now?

Otherwise, I'll describe it. Down, down, down. Yeah, I can see bagels and co. I can't see below. Okay, okay. Bagels and Co. Josh, bagel store. Under it.

You know, they market the products. that they sell in the store, right? Bagels and co. Sushi, vegans, falafel, burgers and soups. What are you nuts?

And co. Is not just a free-for-all to throw in whatever was on sale. You don't have sushi and co. You don't, by the way, vegans isn't even a type of food. And co.

Vegans? What are you nuts? What happened to doing one thing well? Yeah. Okay? One thing well. That's why Salt Hanks is doing so well. Beautiful restaurant by the great Henry.

It's doing so well because he makes one fucking sandwich really well. Imagine if it was Salt Hanks & Co. And he just had vegans and falafel and what are you nuts? Nuts. Nuts. Okay. Nuts. You got one?

What do you nuts is this weekend, the Great Berkskscher invited me to a crowdwork special at the comedy store with Shaquille O'Neal, very funny. Wow. Very fun. Shaq Diesel. And by the way, anyone who, like, calls him Shaq Diesel to his face, are you okay? It's pretty wild. I forgot that stand-up clubs have two drink minimums, right?

And I don't drink. So I just feel like that should be put into the overall admission to get in. Like, if you want my drink money, like, then I'm feeling pressure, right? And then as the show is going on, I'm like, oh, my God, I ordered, you know, a non-alcoholic beer. Now I got to go get a Diet Coke. I'm looking for the waiter everywhere. I'm feeling odjura and nerves because I got to fulfill the two drink. God forbid I get charged for the two drink minimum and didn't have said two drinks.

So what are you not? Just charge me on the way in. It's fine. I'll order or I won't. Charge you on the way in. And by the way, if you do order, they can always just subsidize it. Charge you on the way in. It's much better.

charge 50 bucks and if I order two drinks, don't charge me for it. But they should want to collect the money up front anyways. Book the revenue people. Get it early. This is a great idea. You reminded me of Shaquille O'Neal, I have to go and find the video. I have a video of Shaq saying keto season, which I need to find. Keter season.

That's what it is. That's it. It's it. Folks, this episode is five stars. Otherwise, what are you nuts? listen to us wherever you get your podcast, watch us on YouTube, watch us on Spotify. The video's Through the Roof.

Okay, through the roof. I don't even know what that means. The video's through the roof, but it's through the roof. Folks, we have new episodes, Mondays and Thursdays, and we will see you. Next time.
