The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Mazumorans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. We're here with a super guest, Ben, please. Matt McCusker, thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me, man. We're here in person in Los Angeles. We're both not from L.A. We're just stopping by, just having to work out.

Josh, of course, the native. Thank you for welcoming us to your home. Thank you to you, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass. We're here to Haldon. The three-headed monster. Hold on. We're on a group chat. Let me tell them.

He acknowledged you guys. He's okay. We don't have to send the National Guard. You guys were just talking about extreme sweating, which I get and have. Yes. And you were saying it's some meet and greets that sometimes you deal with this? Yeah, it's both. I'll be sweaty from performing, but then sometimes guys will just be sweaty in the audience.

And I get like a hot armpit right on my shoulder. If it's like a guy taller, just puts that wet, sweaty armpit on me. And it's just like every second it's on me, I'm like, yeah. Are your fans more male than female? Yeah, for sure. Got it. Yeah. So it's a lot of smelly men.

Yeah, it really is. It's like just guys, this giant guys. That's kind of most of the audience. Yeah, no. I like, whenever I need a male fan, I'm like, you exist. Like, it's so rare. I have the opposite. I have like 10 male fans.

Really? Yeah. I think that since we started doing the podcast, I'm pulling like a couple of Josh's male fans. Nice. But like, really, it's like, it's mainly women. So I don't have to deal with the smelly necessarily. Yeah. They're also much shorter.

Maybe they are smelling. I just can't smell them because they're like 5-1. We're taking the picture. Their armpits at my hip. True. You know? Yeah. Maybe that's what it is.

I'll do some college gigs where I'll do like a Q&A kind of a little bit of stand-up, but mostly it's just a Q&A. And I think kids at that age are on a hygiene journey and they're discovering what they like, likes and dislikes. And they're like, am I an old Spice Man or am I just a stinky dude? Yeah. I'm no deodorant. I don't wear deodorant. Really? Don't wear it, yeah.

How long does that be? I don't smell. I don't really smell like that. But you've never worn deodor. I have, for sure. I've worn it. But the last couple of years, I just don't wear it anymore. Because I've tried the natural deodorant, and that makes me smell worse.

Right. But so I won't smell, but then once it's hot enough, it's like, same with sweating. I won't sweat. But then once I start, it's like so much with smelling. It's like, I won't smell. But then like, once I get hot enough, my wife, like, dude, you stink. That makes sense.

I don't steak on a day-to-day basis, but I go like all out working out. Then I'll shower and hit the, go outside. Does she wear deodorant? Yeah, she's like, she freaks out if she doesn't wear it. Got it. This is fascinating.

I love it. I put on deodorant like clone kind of. Like it'll, for like a wedding maybe. I'll like hit a couple of those. You're like, oh, I'm going to CrossFit. Let me just lace up. Not at all. I love it.

Not at all. Working out is like, yeah, no way. I love it. I don't love it for me. But I love it. But I'm telling you, I don't really put off like a smell very far. You'd have to get up, like, close to me to smell me. Interesting.

I believe you. I'll give you a sniff. Yeah, you guys would smell. I'm telling you. Yeah, totally fine. And then I'll trust you. How does you smell? Wow.

It's like smelling a post-it. It's completely, it is nothing there. Nothing. Honestly, are you a ghost? I think I'm smellier than you, and I am wearing, as always, my wife's deodorant. I exclusively wear women's deodorant. I've done that before. I'm just too lazy to continue to refill my own deodorant.

She is so type A. She'll never run out of deodorant. Wow. Okay, I'll get brute. But when I run out of that stick of brute, is it nice and a brute? It's like flammable. Yeah, by the way, bad stuff.

It burns too. Once I run out of a brute, I'm the label. Yeah. Once I run out of brute, which is once every, I don't know, like two months, and then 10 months of dove, Claude's dove,

that like little white bottle. I should take Brut the stick deodorant and put it on the carpet and then light it on fire It gives like a quick design that comes up and goes away We should try that on my armpits It messes the carpet up I ruined a beach rental one time I was kidding It makes it like a little bit crunchy if you step on it You're like oh there's something wrong with this so

Oh man Yeah brute stuff You think that they're they always talk about like putting stuff in women's deodorant though Like do you think I'm slowly turning into a woman because I wear women's deodorant? There's estrogen and deodorant Right? Or is that just like folklore? No, they can't put that.

That's medical. Who knows? I don't know. You can't put anything in there. You could. I make canned cocktails and let me tell you if I wanted to, I don't. I could put my dirty shoe in the big that before it goes into cans. No, no, whatever, no.

That's true. You could do whatever you wanted. Anything could be in that spin drift. The label is for what the normal spin drift is and is supposed to be. Yeah. But anything could be in that specific spin drift. Oh, Christ. They would have to be really comfortable getting sued and then being out of business.

Sure. But if they're like on their last hurrah, they're like, fuck it. We're done selling these shelters. We're going to throw fucking anything in there. Yeah. You only want that something's being recalled after people have already gotten fucked. You know? They just recalled.

Nothing's recall recently because there was rice. Like uncle, I think it was Uncle Ben or something, Instant Rice has rocks in it right now. Oh, no. People have been like cracking their teeth. There was true. There was like, maybe it was glass. Do you know it was in true? True fru? Did you see that?

There's something fucked up in true fruit, which I love. Really? I love true fru. I've never had true fru. What is true fru? It's like a frozen raspberry wrapped in chocolate. I know you're talking about. Those are delicious. I'm a big banana babies guy. The bananas wrapped in chocolate. They're so good. I ruined my home with rice. I have a resentment against rice. I have a, my son when he was born, they go, he has torticolis. You've heard of this? No. It sounds like a Greek, like Greek, like Greek ant.

Yeah. It's my favorite Greek diner on the Lowery's side. So they go, he can't really turn left. He was like Zoolander. Like Zoolander, yeah. Yeah, like his, it's a tight baby neck. Yeah, okay. And they go, we're going to recommend a baby chiropractor.

I'm like, I don't believe, a pediatric chiropractor, I don't believe in adult chiropractor. Yeah, you're an anti-carapacter guy. I'm pro chiropractor. Are you? I love him. Okay, we're going to talk more about this. Baby chirofacting is a little. I don't, I'd be scared of that.

I love them, too. We should talk about it. Doesn't mean I trust him. Continue. Fair, fair, fair. Well, so this guy comes over a very nice guy. He's like a pediatric PT chiropractic. He goes, well, what you need to do is by two five-pound bags of rice.

You're going to put them in between your baby's head at night, right? So you're going to turn them to the correct side left. Plastic bags? Yeah, like full of rice, big ass, hard-ass rice bags. His neck will turn, but he will suffocate. Yeah, and it'll just hold it. in place while he sleeps and it'll slowly start to move his, it was so

deeply dumb. Oh, you did it. We bought the rice. We did it for 20 minutes. I said, Paige, this is deeply done. She's like, this child, Max is wailing, never cried more. I was like, his neck will

probably eventually work. Yeah. So I'm like, it's good rice. Throw it in the cabin. We didn't open it. You did 10 pounds. Suddenly we have, this is like, six months to a year later, never used the rice.

Make rice. There's these little, these little mites all around my cabinets, like these little like bugs, like these little black bugs everywhere. Like, it's nuts. So the exterminator comes, he goes, this is, these should not be in your house.

Oh, no. In the rice? It was in the rice. From Vietnam. I got a mite from Vietnam. Got a free ride all the way to Brentwood. Wow. And he's like. That's crazy. Have you got imported rice for his neck?

I don't know. He's just gone with Carolina. Carolina? What's the Carolina rice? Carolina is you. Carolina rice. You're buying rice for the neck. I'm with you.

You're going to get the cheapest rice. That's what I'm saying? The cheapest rice. You're not importing from Vietnam. I get the best for my kids tight neck. No, we don't need this imported rice for the neck. It's a long grain. It comes up the bugs.

Here's the thing folks about cleaning products. We use them every single day. On the counters where we prep food, on the tables where our kids do homework, on the floors our pets walk across. But here's the question. Have you ever thought about what you're actually cleaning your home with and how it might be affecting how you feel? It sounds a little odd to think about,

but what you use in your environment really shouldn't be overlooked. It's easy to miss because there are so many products out there to clean. There are so many products out there claiming to be clean or natural, but often they still contain ingredients linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. What are you nuts? And in the U.S., cleaning brands aren't even required to list every ingredient on their labels.

So you could be using something harmful without even knowing it. Branch Basics is redefining what it means to be transparent. parent in the cleaning industry. This female founded brand is on a mission to eliminate toxins from our homes, starting with products we use every single day. The premium starter kit comes with one powerful concentrate that makes everything, laundry detergent, bathroom cleaner, glass cleaner, even pet wash and produce rins.

When Branch Basic says human safe, they mean it. Just check their ingredient list. So while you're getting back into your

habits and resetting your health routine, don't overlook this swap. Toxins add up in your body often from places you wouldn't expect.

Dot com and use code good guys for 15% off your starter kit. All right, so chiropractors, what do we think? Let's have it. Well, I want your pro-kyloprapractor.

They hate me. So let's hear. A lot of people don't like them. I had back pain in, like, my late 20s, and I went to a chiropractor, and it was the only thing that fixed my back. One guy, I went to the orthopedic guy, and he was like, you need surgery. I was like, I'm not doing that. And then I went to a chiropractor, cracked my back into place. It, like, it helped it instantly.

But the way they tell you is, and this is the difference, I think, between good and bad ones. Some of them will be like, keep coming in, keep coming in, keep coming in. This guy was like, I'm going to do this three times. I'm going to kind of realign you, but you have to exercise now to strengthen. your back muscles to keep your spine in place. Because if you overuse something or you don't use it, it can go slack like a millimeter and then hit a nerve. So he's like, I'm going to put it into place.

And then you need to start, you know, doing yoga and whatnot to like get your back aligned and keep it that way. So here's the reason some people love chiropractors and some people hate them. Because as we know, it's completely unregulated. So you're going to find an amazing chiropractor like that who diagnosed you, fixed you, said you don't need to come every week for the next. 50 years so I can pay my bills. You found a diamond in the rough.

Most of them are not like that. At least the ones that I've met, they're going to crack you, and they're going to make you keep coming back. That's what I always heard. But no, I've had like, I've had a couple. Both of them have been fantastic.

Like, they'll take your blood, they'll do blood work for you. They do a lot of, I trust them more than doctors, honestly. Wow. That's a big claim. Our audience is going to love you. Every time we talk negatively about chiropractors,

they're like, can you stop it? What's a chiropractor doing blood work for? I don't know. They test for stuff. Well, they test for stuff outside. You get a regular doctor that go, your cholesterol is high. You need blood, you need that medication. You need this.

Chiropractors are like, they do stuff that's more like, well, and I don't know if it's any of this is true, but they'll be like, well, if you stop eating so many carbohydrates, you need carbohydrates to make cholesterol in the first place, cut the car. They just go into like alternative health stuff that I've had better luck with. You have the greatest chiropractor. It sounds like you have like a ninja. Well, you know what it is, though? They do get a bad rap because there is the whole.

whole accident injury lawyer chiropractor connection and that can get really shady where they're like keep cut if you're in like a lawsuit they'll put like electrodes on your back yeah and be like we're going to do this every day for a month and get you 45,000 bucks for a fake injury so you got to watch there are there is like that greasy connection of like where is your chiropractor like what type of office is this is just a quiet little like you know it's like you again unassuming kind of like professional complex and you walk in there professional complex yeah and the other one was in New Jersey a long time ago. That guy was a medical doctor who became a chiropractor. I've had a lot of personal injury claims. They're nice. Yeah, I mean, yeah, though.

Kind of makes you want an accident. I said the YMCA. A slim and fall? Yeah, I fell out of a window at the YMCA when I was 10. No, younger. What story? How high up? One, but it was high. It was high and he was large. I was on my large journey and it was probably like eight feet. Hi. It was one of those, I went to a 150-year-old public school in New York, PS40 on 20th between first and second. This building was like a historic landmark. So the windowsills, I was like trying to look into the auditorium and I'm standing on this bench. And so I kind of hop up on this thing. It was the after-school program because I have a single mom who is only okay about me, not a big fan of

mine. And so I would go to school to six every day. And so like kind of searching into the auditorium and I can't see anything and I go to get back on the bench and the bench flips and I put my arms down and I shattered my arm. You want to see something gross? I showed this yesterday on the Berkshire. Oh, is this why? Yeah. Oh my god. We did not hear it. We don't need to see that. That was worth $130,000 from the McBurney YMCAA. Probably ruining the NDA at this point. But then of course my mom and God bless her, she's the greatest, but she didn't know that like, like literally, she's like, we got 140 grand. It only took like six years and you having to testify 18 times.

Yeah, yeah. And the process, it does take a long time. And the lawyer, she's like, and then when we got the check, it was like 70% gone. Like the lawyers took all of it. Yeah, they take a lot. Well, I didn't, I was in a taxi cab. This is how I got hooked up with like the chiropractors from like injury stuff. I was in a taxi cab.

A couple people. We got an accident in the cab. But I was like really fine. I had a little bit of whiplash. But the one person I was with, she was like, I need to go to the hospital to get looked at. I was like, okay, so she went to the hospital and I rode with her. And since I was like mentioned in the incident report or whatever they filled out, the lawyers got my number and name and they were just like pinging me nonstop.

Like, hey, we're just really worried about you, man. I'm like, I'm so naive. I was like, what a bunch of nice guys? Just go get checked out by my friend. I'm like, thanks, man. I went in there. And then the guy was like, he's like, you got to keep coming in. And I'm like, dude, I'm really fine.

He, like, sat me down. He goes, dude, you can get like 50 grand if you just keep coming. And I told my dad about it. And he was like, my dad's like a business owner. He was like, don't you fucking dare. You mother, if you do that, I'll never talk to you ever again. I don't want, you know, he was, he was like very, very anti, very anti. I like that.

But I also, I didn't get hurt. I really didn't get hurt. Yeah. It's fine to sue. You get hurt. Show me that elbow. I'm like, yeah, it sets 150 Gs for sure. I can't stop thinking about.

What you just, that was. So there were no bars on the window. This is pre-bars. Pre-bars, because it's the first floor. Yeah. So it was wild, but then it's so funny because then when these cases go, you go see the doctor that the lawyer finds you, your lawyer. Yeah.

And that doctor's like, that arm will never be the same. And then, of course, you have to go see the doctor from the insurance company. And they go, that arm has never been better. Yeah. Who do I trust? Yeah, the insurance doctor's like, I'll give you something to cry about. You want to cry out. Yeah.

Yeah. And I'll never forget when you're sitting. I'm nine and I'm sitting in these offices with all these people who have personal injury claims. So this like super Italian probably on some level of cocaine window washers like, so that kid you never guess. He goes, the scaffolding broke. 13 stories I felt. I go, that's impossible. I'm like, this is dog, I'm not the judge.

13 stories? Yeah. Please. I'm like, you're dead on impact. It's like 13 stories, unless each story is afoot. It's like a house for mice. I know a guy who like legitimately got very hurt at a job. He was about to get 100,000 bucks.

And the, you know, and he like, the lawyer was just like, look, man, lay low. It does take a while. So he was, you know, he was just in his house. He's off work. He was trying to get this monster settlement. And the insurance investigators had caught him playing street hockey, basically. Shit. He was supposed to get a big payday.

And the lawyers will loan you money too if they know you have a good case. Like, we'll pay your bills for now, but, you know, we're going to get our cut on the back end. So I think it was some, he was going to get $100,000 after it was all setting done. The lawyers got their cut. And he was in court. And he was like, you know, I had like the full set up neck brace. And the guy, the whatever, the prosecution or whatever defendants from the insurance company just hit the picture of him playing goalie and street hockey. And he said his lawyer just, he's like, I couldn't even look at him.

I can feel him just drilling him to the side of my face. I had to look straight at it. It's hysterical. Can they then sue him? Like, is there like a counter suit there where you know that he's defrauding the insurance company and all of a sudden? I don't think it would have been worth their while,

you know, I don't think he had a lot of money to begin with. So it would have been kind of like, you know, get money out of rock. So he just, they just kind of, they were just like you, you know, they took it. I guess they just took it. But yeah. We were talking about this before.

Did you know Matt Twave used to be a police officer? I didn't. Yeah. In Philly? Yeah. It's three years. She became a police officer for three years. Well, she wanted to be a criminal forensic.

like a scientist. Like CSI. She went to school for that. She had her master's in forensic science. And then when she was in Philly, they were like, if you want to do forensic science, it's better if you're a sworn officer

because, you know, you're like, I don't know, I guess you got a better job. But then she got there and they were like, yeah, you have to be a sworn officer for years before you even get to do that.

So she was just like a cop, like a patrol cop. She's so small too. She's like 5-2 or 5-1. So she was just like tiny lady out there, like breaking into domestics. Wow. Philly is no joke.

No. And her district she was in was especially like there was like legit gangs, like gang warfare. She would, she would have to watch videos every day. If you're a cop, apparently they send you all the stuff that happened in Philly, like you'd have to watch videos of like murders inside of a deli. Holy shit. We'd wake up and she'd be watching this stuff. And I'm like, turn that off. She's like, it's part of my job.

I got to know what's going on. I'm like, this is going to mess you up, man. Oh, God. It's a game tape for cops. Oh, yeah. They have to see what's going on. And the other thing, too, there's like this like, you know, like people die. all the time, even of natural causes.

If you're a cop, you have to just sit with a dead body for like four hours until the coroner people come to take it away. So you have to just like, a guy who's been in there for a week, no one knows. You got to sit with that in an apartment. It's a hardest job. I didn't know any cops growing up. And after she became one, I'm like, that's the hardest job in the world. It's horrible.

Did she ever have to pull her gun? I think she did once. Well. Because also when you're as small as her, you have more reason, you know, to pull one. Because it's like, if you're like, you know, if you're a six foot three guy and some guy comes at you, you're not allowed to pull your gun. If you're a five foot two lady to like pull your gun. Yeah. I think she pulled it once, I think.

Whenever I see a smaller, forgive me, lady cop, I'm like, pull that shit all day. Yeah. Like, don't let any of these dudes get close. You forget about it. Be like, really, Rick? Like, we're really going to do this today? Oh, they would too. Yeah, I'm terrified of ladycaps.

Is she going to? Now, where would she go for coffee break? So Wawa? This is Philly. Yeah, it'd be like a while with Duncan. Big Dunkin, Dunkin, classic. That's worth being a cop alone. Yeah, a lot of free stuff too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Say more. Yeah, a lot of free stuff. You go into places, a lot of discounts. If you're in uniform, most places are like, just take it. Wow. Just take it. Get out here.

Because they want you to look out for them. Yeah, but some of the cops get a little, because my dad never liked cops. He thinks they're freeloaders. So he was like, he does. He's like, they're fucking their freeloaders. But they're, because he had a trash company, so they'd always be like, you know,

like he would hook up someone with a dumpster and like, well, my friend wants one too. And he'd be like, okay, he's like, well, he's an officer. He's like, I don't care. I'm not giving him a free dumpster. But my dad was always anti-cop. And for funny reasons. But the, but yeah, man, that's like they do get a lot of free stuff. And you get it.

You get it. Once you get to actually witness their job, it's like, I, yeah, I get. Yeah, they deserve some free shit. And it's shit, too, man. Like, not only is the job, like, it's like, you're sitting still for two hours in a car. And then you eat lunch and then something happens. You got to get out of your car. car and sprint after a guy who might have a gun, who might not, you don't know. So yeah, it's just

a hard job. And they're doing it where like one day or six in the morning, two weeks later, you're working overnight. It's like, it's the worst.

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Signos. Folks, I love Signos and you're going to love Cignos because we love learning about our bodies, right? We love understanding, okay, I'm going to eat Russ and daughters on the podcast because Josh graciously brought it to me. That said, it was sabotage. He knew it would put me to sleep. Why does it put me to sleep? Why would a bagel put me to sleep? That doesn't make sense. It doesn't put Claudia to sleep when she has a bagel. Maybe it doesn't put you to sleep when you have a bagel. Why does it put me to sleep? And the reason is that there's something in my body where my blood sugar rises with a bagel. And I know that because of Cygnos. Signos allows you to learn where

you get your spikes. So if you wear Signos while you're eating, you're going to understand, okay, what I just ate totally fine for me. What I just ate totally not fine for me. And the thing is, all of our bodies are different. So what triggers me might not trigger you and vice versa. Who knows? I know that if I have a beautiful, juicy steak, I'm not going to see a spike. So I'm not going to see a spike. I'm not going to see a spike. I love a lentil soup. French onion, fantastic. Cheese is no spikes. But I have that bagel all of a sudden through the roof. I'm not going to see a spike. I'm not going to eat more salads. Lental soup. Lental soup, no spike. But I have that bagel all of a sudden through the roof. I don't want that. You shouldn't want that. We should be constantly trying to get better and learning more about our bodies. And I think Signos is a really great way to start to do that. Signos took the guesswork out of managing my weight and gave me personalized insights into how my body works. With an AI-powered app and biosensor, Signos helped me build healthier habits and stick with them.

I'm sure you've told the story a thousand times, but so unbelievably iconic. It's great. Iconic.

Can you tell the story? Yeah, so I got, like, invited to go to the SPs, like, you know, Shane's manager's, like, do you want to go? Your podcast co-host, the great Shane Gillis, right? So I'm like, she's like, do you want to go? And I was like, I don't know. I don't feel like going. I've been traveling a lot.

I don't want to travel. And I just, you know, that was like a thing. And then I tell my wife, like, a week before, I was like, oh, yeah, I could have went. We could have both went. She was like, I want to do it. And I'm like, I don't feel like it. She's like, I want to do something fun. I was like, we're not going.

I don't care. We're not going. And she just kept killing me just the whole week. Just like, this is, and finally, I was like, fine, we'll go. So, you know, long story short, we go. And, like, it was three days before that I decided to go. And Shane texted her being like, hey, we're thinking to doing this. joke, you know, we're going to say you're like a WMBA player.

She was just kind of like, yeah, okay. But she showed me the text and I read the joke and I was about to get in the shower. I stopped and I just went, it's perfect. It's going to work, first of all. Yeah. And that's hilarious. And I was just so excited when it finally happened. It worked out exactly how I knew it would.

And I got to see, because I was so close to the people who were clapping like, oh, yeah, give it up for her. When he announced it was a joke, even on the replay, you. see people in the back being like, damn it, you got me on camera. It was, it was so funny. And then she said she's 5'1,

which only adds to how hysterical. She's terrible. I mean, she was sitting, be fair. Sure. But also, you can kind of tell. She's,

you know, on camera, like scrunched in her seat. No, you have, for anybody who hasn't seen you, you have to watch the clip. It was the funniest thing

I've ever seen. She's literally like there's a WNBA player here. Four-time champion, by the way. Yeah. And it was like, Yeah, like, standing ovation. And it's like, no, this is a random woman.

There's also a room full of sports people. These are like the most sports people you can find. And even they were like, yeah, I think I hurt. Like, if I did that to the NFL, they'd be like, wait, huh? Who was a four-time? What name did he give her? Like, what was she? Britney Hicks.

That was her maiden name. So it was like Britney Hicks. Brittany Hicks, four-time champion standing ovation. It just go, it, you almost like attributed to, like the Will Smith Chris Rock moment at the Oscars. Oh, it was so viral. It is such revealing of a crowd. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're all, like, you're all to blame. It was so funny. And as, like you mentioned, is she currently a police officer? No, no, no. Yeah, she's got done with that. But she's a civilian, right? So, like, for her to go viral, like, how amazing and, like, did she love it? She had a great reaction when they cut her and she was like, she did the perfect wave.

She, I always told her before. I was like, she should have been an actor, like, you know, she was like really, she's always very good at that. Yeah, she nailed the wave was good. She got almost like overwhelmed by like people. Like we would get coffee and they'd be like, oh my God, Brittany. And I'd be next to her like, I'm a comedian too. I don't know.

But it was very funny to watch her just get all that attention because she was really like, because I think she does thrive on attention, but that was the point where she was like, I don't, this is too much for me, man. Yeah. But deep down inside, I think she did love it. It was so good. It was. It was funny.

I loved it. So you have this new special out that we want to promote. And I'm always fascinated to know of like, because I'm such a big fan of stand-ups. And it always seems like there's the journey of like you're grinding it out, you're doing gigs, you start to build the hour. And then it's like finding a home for it. So what did that look like for you? Honestly, I was like just, I always plan on putting them on YouTube. So I was like, I'm going to put it on YouTube.

And then like, you know, my agent called me and my manager's like, we're going to put it on Netflix. And I was like, oh, nice. Like, fuck yeah. Great. That's awesome. That's fantastic. Ian finance is like, fuck. But like, but is that also

because there's such pressure to finding a home? I love, you were big fans of Chrissy D, Chris DeCherfano. And he similarly had one of those moments where he was like, I'm going to film it and maybe it'll find out home, maybe it won't, I'm going to self-finance it. And then he wasn't expecting that Netflix was like,

yeah, because everyone when he pitched it said no. See, I got the offer before I filmed it. Oh, yeah. They were going to put it out in January. So they were like, we're going to do it in January. I was like, I knew I was going to film it in June. So I was just done with the material. And I was like, I guess I can just sit for a while.

And then they bumped it up, thank God. But the, yeah, no, I just view it as like, the special is just a commercial that helps you sell tickets. I like keep it real simple. So if it goes on YouTube, that gets a lot of eyeballs. Netflix is awesome. I was, like, happy about it. But yeah, then it's like, it is pressure.

Just for me, the pressure was, like, filming it. Because it was a much bigger production than the first one was like a couple guys with the camera. Yeah. The second one was like pretty, they went all out. It was pretty massive. Where did you shoot him? Ontario, California. Ontario improv.

A lot of people were like, don't, don't do it there. They were just like, why are you going to Ontario? Why, of all places did you go to Ontario? And I was like, it's a fair question. I'm doing the Temecula yuck yuck. I just like the club. And I had done that material in so many different clubs that I knew of. That was the only one I've done before that I didn't do that material in.

that I remembered liking. So even like the club itself was like, yeah, sure, if you want. I don't know. They were like, we're almost like, if you want to, you can. I don't know why you would. But I love it. It turned out good, man. I was pretty happy with it.

And how many of them, because I know you have to shoot multiple performances, so you have it in the edit. Like, how many times did you do it? Four. I did two nights, two shows, two nights. And is there a piece from each performance? Like, I think. I think what happens is the goal is to get one show you love.

and then use that as like they call it like the hero show so that's like the backbone of it and then like say I flubbed the line in that you just grab from another night so I think maybe we use mostly to maybe barred into like one more show if that for like certain things and you're touring now yeah yeah yeah I'm just starting back up I have like a new hour I'm trying to work on so had you settle on what you were going to wear that's big literally trying to dress like this honestly like Jim Jeffries who's been on the pod he seems cool as a cute cucumber. He made the special for YouTube just happened to go on Netflix. This is the way to do it. You set the bar low. Exactly. And then you're just incredibly fucking excited. Exactly.

Great. That's exactly what I do. It's smart because then you're never let down. Exactly. It's only positive. I'm telling you, I look at it just very nuts and bolts. It's like, I'm just a small business owner. This is what I do. And you know, you put it out there. You make the money off it. You go, great. I love it. Yeah. It's kind of how I look at it. You like performing in jeans? Yes, what I do. I always wear jeans. I just wore jeans in a t-shirt, but there was, I will say, though, the t-shirt itself, I had to really, because my wife was in my ear, so, like, you always wear t-shirts that are too big for you, but if I have a tight t-shirt, I can't especially stand-up. If it's, like clinging to me, like... Are you a very physical person on stage? A little bit, more and more so, yeah. This one, I was pretty physical, so it was like, I don't know, I just, like, finally, because I'm in between a large and a medium. Some mediums are too small, some large is too big. Yeah, you're an extra medium. I'm an extra medium. That's exactly what I know.

Yeah. I know that world. Are you an extra large, but large? I'm a true large. I'm a true large. I'm a true large. I'm an extra medium. I'm a true extra large.

Right? That's awesome. I thought I was an extra large. Now this is an exo. This is a little roomy, right? It is actually. You think I'm an extra large? What would you call it?

Large extra? Somewhere between the large and the extra large. Yeah, I think so. There's different cuts, boys. True. It's different cut. You're in a fleasure. No, by the way, I'm 100%.

This is only comfortable. because it's a wide cut. A slim cut Excel barely fits. Anything like French or like an overseas brand. Paul Smith, please, I'm not even like a triple X. I can't,

there's certain genes where like my thighs or they don't fit in the jeans. That's where like, I need the regular, it's like slim jeans. I literally can't wear them. I look insane. That's why I stopped wearing jeans. I used to always wear jeans.

I found these like stretchy pants that just look like pants. Yeah. I think a lot of brands make them. The theory ones amazing. I wear them all the time. They also double with suit pants. The black pants I wear with a suit jacket. I wear one pair of pants all week.

Yeah, you're free. I don't smell. No, it's not me. You wash them. Right? Yeah, no, I think that like Jim Jeffreys and his new special, and I only say this because it's what I would do.

He went a dark denim black t-shirt. And I'm like, that's a guy like me who wants to look slim. Yeah. Smart, slim. Get it. Good move. Yeah, I don't think. It's funny.

My wife literally just said, different pants. You look kind of fat in the Netflix special. And I was like, I see that a little bit but I just, I don't know. I don't see it. This man can't look fat. She said a little chubby. She's like, I had a little, and I get what she's talking about. That's a good wife. That's a good wife. It was a tight shirt. It was a little tight and I did it, you know,

obviously I have a little punch. So it was pronounced. But for me, I'm like, I don't know. I don't care. Yeah, live it up. Yeah, just let it go, man. Yeah, you can't do anything about it. Should we get to a story? Yeah, please. We had a couple stories teed up. Nice. You know, people want to hear our opinions on things.

They're dying for it. Well, there's a UK health agency that cites benefits of first cousin marriage and bizarre report. Unsurprisingly, sparks outrage. The UK's National Health Service came under fire after publishing guidance that experts claimed and promoted interfamily unions despite well-documented concerns. I guess the UK is like, it ain't that bad. And even having children with a once-remove relative, kind of cool. Okay. Yeah.

Okay, so the UK just, you're saying the outlawed first cousin marriage? No, they're down for it. They're down. They're promoting it. They're promoting. Since when? Since this article from the post. Since the New York Post decided.

Why do you think that is if I had to get your guys? I don't know. Maybe the queen. I feel like the whole, the whole royal family. They married first cousins. Sure. If the royals are doing it, why can't the, the pleadings? Small talk's hard.

Yeah. I wonder. I wonder why they would push that right now. I'm a big fan of arranged marriages. I am too. Now that I have a son. I have a four and a half month old son. I'm like, I would love to be best friends with whoever you end up marrying.

So why can't we just settle it now? Well, it's also like, what is your son going to have that? That was my whole thing. I always, like, arrange marriage is crazy. Then I started being like, what am I basing my relationships off of? And it was just like, I like, I like your boobs. And then I'm like trying to build a life with you on that. It's tough.

Yeah. And then imagine you get both. You get a great family and boobs. Yeah. Right. True. You could get both. Yeah.

Yeah. you really have to, well, that would be weird too because then like, my thing is like, is this, am I married to someone like my dad thinks is hot? Then it's kind of like, I'd be kind of a little bit. Your dad would think that the mom is hot. Like you would have to pick a big chested mother. True. Then you'd know that the arranged marriage had a shot, right?

But I have to think about that because I have three boys. And so like, there's a good chance that even in my 50s, I'm going to have eyes that work. And I'm going to think that their girlfriends are babes. You are. I mean, you're going to keep it to yourself. Ideally. They're wives. Sure.

Their wives. Not their girlfriends. They'll be too young. But like, you know, they're like, damn, bro. She's got to keep that one in. It's bad. Girlfriends are not babes, son. No.

Yeah. But like, that's an issue. He has a son. Yeah. By the way, it's not an issue. You keep it to yourself. Yeah. It's not an issue.

We have wandering eyes. You can't talk about it. You can't go to your son. Hell yeah. Max. Your wife, Max, is a fucking smoke. Oh, man. It's not you.

Can I say anything? I'm never going to say it. I don't even want to think it. You're going to think it. You go, she's a great girl. That's all you say. She's a great girl. Great person.

Great family. They also said, mother with a great chest. Boy, did her mother have a great chest? I keep waiting for the hype of boobs to wear off at 38 years old, being married over eight years. It doesn't. I'm so like these are awesome. Never will, yeah. It's biblical.

It's the best. Yeah. Yeah, they'll never, yeah, never wears off. No. I don't think women think that about our, our stuff. Not at all. It's not natural.

They don't at all. Yeah. I'm disgusted by myself. No good. Yeah. I wish I had boobs. I kind of do. I wish I did.

I fully have boobs. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Momentus. Folks, you know I love creatine by Momentus.

Well, in the article, it also says in every pregnancy, there's a 2 to 3% risk that a child from two unrelated people will have a birth defect. However, the risk will double to about 5 to 6% when the parents are first cousins. Yeah. Weiss did a thing on this.

Weiss did a thing on incest. I think it was, I forget where it was. But yeah, they were pointing out like, it's not cool. And people were like, yeah, we're doing it anyway. It's definitely not cool. Like, you can, I've seen it's like webbed feet. Like, you get one of those. Yeah.

Then you become an Olympic swimmer. Web feet's cool. It's a fun party trick. Yeah. True. Yeah, you can't wear Birkenstocks? Oh, God. Well, so it goes up from 3% or 1 to 3 to 5 to 6.

Kind of low. That is pretty low. It's a dice roll. I thought it was like a guaranteed. Me too. Like, you know. If your cousin's Sidney Sweeney, That's a tough guy's

You're rolling the dice with five to six Yeah, that's fair You are I'm cutting that out Okay Should we get Is you just your moron now Yeah

Oh by the way We call our listeners Morons That's right Okay good All right So Yeah

Moron mail If you want to ask us advice Ask a question Go to speakpipe.com Sosh good guys Keep it brief Brevity's key Let's hear

Or go to the link in our bio The link in our bio works as well. This first one's from Christy Murphy. Hey guys. So I've been with my boyfriend for 10 years, yep, a whole decade. And he actually proposed six years ago. And then we just never made any wedding plans. Anyway, we still live separately.

I've got two kids that aren't his. But he does come over on the weekends. We hang out. Get our sexy time in, and then he dips. But if there's like family function, or I need a date, he's always there. It's almost like he's a part-time husband. So do you think I am living the dream or just avoiding commitment?

Anyway, let me know. Thank you. Love you guys. I've never heard that in my life. Okay, so they've been together for 10 years. He proposed six years ago. They never got married. He comes over on the weekends to fuck.

Yeah. And then whenever she needs a plus one to a wedding, he's always there. Yeah. It sounds to me like it's perfect for her. so I think it might work it's definitely unconventional well if it was perfect for her she wouldn't send the message she's having doubts obviously

that's true true but I guess she tell us is it it might be outside pressure that's the main question is it outside pressure she's getting or she genuinely being like I guess you know sounds on paper sounds kind of nice yeah if that's what you want yeah true I don't know that would kind of freak me out if I just was gone also

yeah what the hell he's just gone yeah I don't know that's the question that's I don't know if she's like Am I living the dream? It's like, well, only she can answer that. That's the part that threw me through a loop. Threw me through a loop? Four.

Four. Like, clearly she's happy. If she's saying, if she's even questioning, am I living the dream? Then clearly she's happy. No, I would argue that. No, because it's like, if you were living the dream, you wouldn't even question if you're living the dream. But nobody would ever think that that's living the dream.

It sounds so bizarre. My wife would not be happy with it. It sounds more, to me, it sounds more like a thing. A dude would be like, this is the best. that a girl would be like, I can't stand this in my experience. Right. So, yeah, I think, I don't think she's living the dream. No, she's not living the dream.

But there could be, like, social pressure, too, where she's like, it kind of works for us, but I know, because of just Hallmark movies, it shouldn't be this way. That's the question. Yeah. Either she's being like, I don't like this or outside forces are going, like, this is not right. I also know that my mom has friends in their 70s who are either divorced or, like, widowed and they have this exact setup because the kids are out of the house and they're like, I don't want to, I don't want them in my bed, but I want to go out to dinner Saturday night and

hook up here and there and I'm like, sounds elite. Sounds nice. They said it makes sense minus the fact that she's a six-year fiance. That's the part that's strange. Without the he proposed six years ago and we just never got married. Yeah. That's weird. They're just boyfriend, girlfriend, living life.

They're happy on the weekends. That makes sense. Why did he propose? Well, I think he probably also checked a box for her. Like she took a deep breath when it happened. Like, all right, he made the leap, even though we haven't made it official at the courthouse. Yeah.

Like, he's mine. I got him. We're married technically. Sort of. Yeah. That's kind of all it is. It's like a, yeah, that's a, I need this lady to, I need more details.

Because this is. Like the extra medium. Yeah. Yeah. It is funny to be together to, to propose and be like, yeah, we never got married. I don't know. They sound like they're both kind of pretty indecisive and I don't know. And he has kids too, right?

Two. Two kids. And she takes care of them? That's the big question, too. We need her to call it? This is why we need a call-in feature. Oh, you have to know. The big question is, are they cousins or not?

That's what I need to know. This sounds like cousin behavior. Yeah. This is cousiny. We're pro-cousons. Sure. Next one's from Emma. Desperately need to be.

your help and advice with something I'm dealing with right now. So I am an elementary school librarian and I am also recently divorced. And so obviously that's a well-known thing around work just because I did go back to my maiden name due to not having children together. But the other night, I received a text message from a male co-worker and I will read it to you. Hello, Emma. It would mean a lot to me if you would join me for dinner this Saturday night at 530. I can't decide between Pisano's or Texas Roadhouse. Any preference? Afterer, I was thinking we could go for a stroll. Let me know. What are you nuts? Sir, you're 15 to 20 years older than me. We are co-workers and no, thank you. The problem is, obviously, I see him every day at work.

We have recess duty together. So there is no avoiding this man. I did respond and say, thank you for the hopper, but I am not interested. But now just every day is so incredibly awkward. do what do I do? Do I just hope that as time goes on, it becomes less awkward? Do I keep being a couple minutes late to recess duty to avoid talking to him? What do I do? Because I do not have enough sick leave to get me to May. Thank you.

I think just forget about it. Shooter's going to shoot. He shot. It's done. He's moved on to the next. Like if he's shooting at the librarian at his school, believe me, he's shooting. He's at the gun range. He missed you.

He caught somebody else. Older guys, too, really do that. They'll just, like, throw it out there so shamelessly. So, yeah, I mean, he said a nice text. He didn't, like, corner her. He said, hey, it would mean the world to me. It's also a pretty crazy way to put it. It would mean the world to me.

He crafted that text with somebody. I was playing golf the other day, and the caddy was probably, like, mid-50s, early 60s. And he came to me. He's like, I really like this girl can help me craft this text. And I looked at it, and I'm like, just made you fucking. minutes ago. What are you nuts? But it sounds like that same type of deal where this was a crafted text. You probably like sat with like a couple buddies. Hey, this girl's cute. She's recently single. She works at my school. Help me come up with this text. Shot is shot. Didn't work out. On to the next.

Also the options were Craig Paisano's or Texas Roadhouse. It's like, you don't be that specific. I'm debating between chilies and apple beans. I can't pick. Both are great. Can't lose. What's the other one? Texas Roadhouse and... Paizano. What's Paizano? I don't know. It sounds like a Italian.

Yeah, it should be Italian, yeah. Maybe you write back, let's do a bang, bang. You heard of this? Yeah, double dinner. Two restaurants and one night? Ooh, that's my kind of date. Yeah, that would be nice. Pie Roadhouse.

That'd be odd. Yeah, that's weird. I mean, I agree with you. He shot his shot, man, move on. He said no. And if he presses the issue, then I think that's when you'd have a real complaint of being like, now he's, pushing it and this is kind of uncomfortable.

Yeah. That would be, that would be a good revealing way of figuring out if the girl you're going on to date with, like, is on your level. If you're like, first date, double dinner. Yeah, true. That's what you. Could you imagine? Yeah, you immediately know who's on OZEPIC and who isn't. Yeah. Yeah. Like back in the day, I make it through

three dinners. Now, I can't get through half a dinner. It's terrible. It's kind of sounds awesome. What? The triple dinner? Yeah. Oh, it's amazing. Triple would be nice. Double. I've done double. It's really nice. Never. I don't think I ever have. No, I haven't either. I mean, I have, like, I've ordered in from multiple places and, like, sat on my couch and eating until I wanted to cry. Yes. That's kind of the same thing, right? Yeah, sure. Okay. When I was 300 pounds at 15 years old and on television, I would eat a large dominoce pizza bread sticks and whatever their dessert offering was. It was usually a sin of sticks and or a molten lava cake. And I'd eat it all. There's nothing more fun than when you feel like you can, you can.

an unlimited amount. You're in that groove. You're just, I'm just watching real world road rules challenge. Parmesan sauce is fucking sad. Cynistics afterwards, man. Yeah, they were so good. After you're already full from, I guess eating a whole pizza is like a loaf of bread.

Yeah. And then eat a sweet loaf of bread on top of that. It does feel good. They should name it that. It's sweet loaf of bread, sweet loaf of bread. Sweet loaf of bread. Zach Cody. All right.

One more. Let's see. I'm trying to find a good one. Okay. This next one is from Sarah. On my way to work listening to the pod as I do. It's so sweet of you, Josh, to go to a, or mitzvah. Oh, this was us.

We got, someone invited us to their wedding. Oh, nice. But they left out the important part because we said we'd love to go to someone's wedding for a low price. A small fee. Yeah. 100 grand. Okay.

That's it. That's a small fee. That's it. You'd love to attend for a small thing. Sarah invited us to her wedding. Spoiler alert. For free? Mention no fee.

Yeah. That's nice. Just send your address, Sarah. We'll send you a gift. We'll send you a gift. Yeah, the gift is not going. I'm not going. No.

Sorry, Sarah. I thought you, I was like, yeah, I've got those invites. I'm like, no. Yeah, have you gotten invited to? Yeah. Please come and be. I'm like, I, no way. No, I don't know you.

It sounds like a great idea. It's going to be weird. I'm going to be weird. I'm going. Yeah. Okay. So I'd love to know, I've loved listening, I've loved listening to the entire comedy community,

talk about the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I've especially loved Shane's counterpoint, which I think is really good and valid. Good friend, buddy, co-host, professional friend. They come to you next year. They go. Ooh. Matt, love the special.

Yeah. I can't get over it over here in the kingdom. 250, bring your wife. come enjoy, we'll have a Ferrari for you. How do you break it to Shane? I know. I know I've thought it because I really... Is there a number is also a good follow-up question?

That's a good point. Honestly, I don't... I was just saying this before. Like, I didn't know enough about geopolitics to know, like, I didn't know idea it was going on there. Yeah. So, like, if they had called me, I would have been like, for sure. I didn't know.

I didn't know anything about it. Yeah, I don't... Now with all the stuff now, I wouldn't... I just wouldn't go. because now it's like, yeah, you just, I don't know, I wouldn't want to be, like, viewed as a super greedy guy. But I think the people who got crushed on it were the people who were super outspoken about moral political issues.

Totally. Where I've always pretty much painted myself as like, I'm kind of a piece of shit. So it's like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't think I would go. If they gave me a bunch of money, I would just be like, no. Because I just don't want the headache of it. And I also, you know what?

I turned down like UK and Australia because I don't want to fly that far. Yeah. So that would me. I don't care what you do in your country. I just don't want to fly that far. That's my official stance. The thing is they have so much money, though. Like, we were talking about this last night.

Like, they come to you and they're like, we'll give you $10 million. 10 million, yeah, for sure. That's a life. That's a life changer. That's a life changer. That's what I'm saying. For them, it's nothing. Like, I was on, I was completely on the side of the people who were like, fuck those

comics for going there. It's blood money. And literally, as I'm saying it, I'm like, but I'm a huge fan of live golf. And I've defended the fact that Bryson got three. hundred million from the same fucking people. Yeah. So why is it any different? And the answer is, I guess it's lightly different because the government threw it.

So it's like a little bit propagated, but it's not, it's really the same thing. So I'm pro-Liv Gop. I'm pro-Lib Gop. I'm pro-anybody getting a bag. If it's life-changing money, I think that's what it is. Yeah. If you accepted life-changing money, good for you and your family. Yeah, I don't have strong feelings about people who even took whatever for it.

It's like, yeah, go do your thing. I wouldn't be like, how dare you? Because I just don't feel that way. But yeah, now that you're like, do you have a number? I'm like, no, you said 10 million. I was like, yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Five for sure.

Yeah. Maybe half a million. What did we put our number out yesterday? Was it half a million? Yeah. I think we said half a million. Half a million will be good. It's nice.

And there it's tax free. They're going to give it to rubles. True. You give you just like a sack of roos. Zelda money. You come back with seven firstborn sons. Yeah. Like nine camels that I need to offload.

Yeah, I honestly, if I'm being 100% honest, it's like, I do get being like, nah, I'm not doing that. Because again, like, Shane's more up to date on like just, you know, politics and geography and all that stuff. I was kind of like, he was like, I'm not doing it. When he said he was going to, like, they got offered. I'm like, oh, cool. For like the troops.

He was like, no, for like the royal Saudis. For the troops. Yeah, that's great. Different troops. He's like, I'm not doing it. He was like, why? And he's like, you know, blah, blah. And I was like, yeah, okay, that makes sense.

It's badass that he didn't do it. I will say that. It is cool. Which is funny to double, which is such like a, it's just such a weird negotiating. It's kind of an immature negotiating tactic. Like, how about, it's like Dr. Evil. Yeah. Two times the price.

It's like, what are you doing here? What is this? Yeah, it is funny to be like, yeah, I'm not doing it. And honestly, too, I don't think he had any idea what that was going to turn into. He was just like genuinely like, I'm not doing that. And it's a good point of the 9-11 thing, a bunch of 9-11 hijackers. Oh, no, they're valid points. No, I think of 9-11 again.

They're valid points. Davidson's dad died in 9-11 and he went and performed. I know. There are valid points, but at the same time. Do you think he to get, never mind, it's actually a terrible point.

I was like, hold on, how much, you know, you guys kill my fucking dead. Yeah. Oh my God. No, I also swung back on it. Like, it's like reparations. Like, if you're,

if Pete Davidson made $25 million, like, okay, but here's the thing. If he made $250,000 in exchange for performing for people who murdered his dad? I don't know. But here's the thing, right? Because Tim Dillon talked about the fee he got

because he got kicked out before he had a judge of the room. He was like, he said, I said 500,000. And they said 350 and I said, yes. And Tim Dillon's one of the biggest comedians in the world.

And that's not like, that's probably like double what he would get for a corporate gig assuming he'd ever get a corporate gig. For sure. Or even a couple theaters. Yeah, that's the thing. But it's not like,

I would think in that landscape with that amount of money. I'm stunned it was so low. I think that's kind of... That's not enough money to sacrifice your morals. I think there were tears. I think there was like... It's assuming comedians have morals.

I guess that's true. But Tim Dillon is so political. Like he has an opinion and he has a stamp. He's so good. Like he is so good. Especially to just be like a one-man podcast where he's just talking. No one can do that. No.

And he's so funny. And he's like an outspoken. kind of like, give me the money. I'll do this. And it's funny how he does it. And it's like, yeah, I don't, I just, I just, I, there's been so many, so much like, comedian infighting lately where it's like, I just, you know, it's just, just go make people laugh. You know what I mean? It's like, and if you're mad, I get it. If you're mad, took Saudi blood money, I get it. But if you also, you know, if I'm sitting with someone who just took Saudi blood money, I'll give him a high five and like, nice. And I asked him to pick up dinner. Yeah, you made something good

out of something bad. You got money for yourself, which is a good thing. Should we get to what are you nuts? Yeah. So our one of you nuts moment of the week is gripes with people places and things in LA there everywhere. You're looking at this lady. She's barefoot walking on the street. Like, what are you nuts? Yeah. Let me find one.

You have time to think. We'll go first. I have an easy one. Go ahead. Oh, good. I saw a lady walking down the street, no shirt on, tits out. And she didn't look like crazy or homeless. She looked just kind of like a normal, just walking down the street, smiling, no shirt,

tits out. And I literally was like, I wonder if she's crazy or just kind of chilling. I couldn't tell. My daughter's in the car. She pointed out. She's like, dad, she's not. naked. She's not naked.

Her tits are out. She has her pants on it. But it was, I don't know. I was like, this is cool. And I tell people like, that's really upsetting. I'm like, I don't know. I get it, man, because it's like, I don't know. I see both sides.

It's like, because there's that whole, it is a pretty massive double standard. I can have my shirt off. A girl can't. But it's also like so different seeing like women's breasts. Oh, yeah. It's like a religious vision. Yeah. I hate to break it to them.

It's like, your tits are too awesome. Sorry. Too awesome. You have to suffer. Your neck special. So that was my crazy or not. I was like, I can't tell if she's crazy or just like a,

you know, an activist. I love it. Yeah. And I'm for it, by the way. Yeah, I was with my daughter. I was like, don't you ever fucking do that. Oh, yeah. Don't do that.

No. But this lady's going to have a good time. And I'm going to make sure she's all right. So let's stop the car. Introduce myself. Take her the Texas Roadhouse. You know Homeby Park? Sure.

Fombee Park. Beautiful park. I have a four and a half month old son. We tried to figure out where every day could he go. We stroll him around. Beautiful parks. There's amazing parks in L.A. Fonby Park, I don't know what it is about.

Maybe it's a certain hours. Completely off the leash, all dogs. Of all sizes. I'm walking Ruby. Again, four and a half months old. And there is a great fucking Dane. Huge dog off the leash. And I'm sure his owner, it's like a classic.

It's like, oh, no. he won't bite. Oh no, he won't bark. Oh, no, he's super safe. No problem. Get your 200-pound unleashed dog on a leash around children. Sorry, what are you nuts? I love dogs. I never understood it. Like if you want to have your own backyard where your dog's off the leash, no problem. If you have a little, I have a King Charles Cavalier, 19 pounds. He's a little fat. You want a 19-pound King Charles? No problem. A pit bull, a Great Dane, a Dalmatian. A Dalmatian. These huge dogs, I'm sorry. They have to be on leeches and parks.

I thought it was insane. Woody a nuts. That's Woody a Nuts. My Woody Nuts moment is, I don't think he'll mind being named the great Teddy Purcell, former hockey player for the L.A. Kings, good family friend, one of the best. And he sadly has been diagnosed with the sleep apnea. Oh, no. So the other day, I go, Ted, what are you doing? And he goes, ah, he goes, I got the CPAP machine, you know.

So it's like a snorkel. He use it. He goes, but I got to, I'm like, okay, he's like, I'm using my CPAP. I'm like, it's noon. He goes, for insurance purposes, they can track how much I'm using it. And for four hours a day, I've got to be on the CPAP. And sometimes he's like, I fall asleep on the couch at night or wherever or I fall asleep. I forget to put it on.

He goes, I got to rack up my hours. What are you nuts? He's doing midday. TV with the CPAP on because he doesn't want to have to pay insurance for his CPAP. He doesn't see. He doesn't, he doesn't want to sleep with it. He does, he's like some nights I forget and so I gotta get my four hours in. So he's doing midday task.

That's insane. That's really funny. That's really funny. Shout out Teddy, hope you don't mind. Sleep app, me also is a wooden of nuts. I just like, is he a thick guy? He is, but sometimes, you don't know how his neck thickness. I guess so.

Yeah. I learned. I saw on a TikTok. Where fat comes first, did you know this is the tongue? Really? When you gain weight, the tip of your tongue is that like slithery pointer. The middle muscle, the back fat. What?

So that's why when you start to gain weight, like if I gain 20 pounds, I'm going to start snoring. And so I just think sleep apnea is fat people that are just fat. They have a fat tongue. They can't breathe. That's it. The majority of the people... More often than not when you lose weight, the sleep apnea machine goes away, too. This is not new info, though.

It's not... No. Nobody shocked. The tongue part, you didn't know the tongue. Tong part is a good fact. We all know big fat so's have sleep apnea. Fine, but you didn't know the tongue. I didn't know that.

I didn't know the tongue. Good. I'm happy I taught you something, John. I'm happy I taught you something, John. I'm happy I taught you something. Thank you, Ben.
