The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Mazumorans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. Ben, I got something real big happening this weekend. Ooh, what's happening? A Mr. Shy Peck's birthday, third birthday. Happy beautiful birthday, Mr. Shy. That is absolutely gorgeous news. Yeah.

Where are we doing it? What are we doing? Well, and am I invited? Because I'll be there. I know. You will. Do you want to come? Yes!

Yes! I'm coming! That would be amazing. It's on Sunday. If you can come, that would be so great. I, 100% will be there. Amazing. I will be there.

Where are we doing it? Are we doing Charles Entertainment Cheese again? Charles Entertainment Cheese, Walshye, is a big fan, and we did do that for Max this birthday. We were doing it in a little enclave of California. It's like Carmel, Santa Barbara, El Segundo. It's south of the east. airport.

No, it's super cute. And a big fan of yours, our dear friend, Libby and her husband Tommy, owned an event space called Arena House, which is incredible if you're in L.A. and you need like a dope indoor, outdoor event space, the best. And so we're going to do it there.

I don't want to brag. We have some entertainment. A young person named Megan the bubbleologist. I thought you were going to say Megan the the Stallion. I'm like, what kind of? What a fucking event are you throwing?

We got Megan the Stanley, Megan McCain, Megan Markle. It's the Megan's. We just got three ass Megans. And we have a sick bounce house from my friend in the Valley who he's got a bounce house hustle. He's the greatest. And I'm going to give him a shout out next week because I don't exactly know what his company's called. But follow him on IG. even though you don't know where to go.

He's the best. That sounds epic. I will be there. Yeah. And I'm going to talk to Claude and hopefully me and Ruby, Claude can show up. Finally, I get to kiss that little rubster.

You're going to meet him. So yeah, folks, I'm coming to L.A. This good guys in person, we are going to be banging out the apps. It's going to be fantastic. Coming down for like for a while,

right? Like it's going to be fantastic. And we're going to film and we're going to hang. And it's just so exciting. I haven't been to L.A. in a minute. I haven't been to L.A. When was the last time I was in L.A.? Sometimes.

You were going to come in for the Drake interview, but then you got a serious sinus infection. Terrible. Terrible. You would have been at risk at that height with those level of sinuses. That was a year ago. I haven't been TLA in a year. No, that was much.

And it's, okay. Was I there? I feel like I still haven't been to L.A. in a year. Yeah, definitely you haven't been since Claw. Since Claw got pregnant, I definitely haven't been to L.A. How about that? How about that? Holy crap. Well, I'm going to be in L.A. And I can't wait. And we're going to eat like kings. And we're going to celebrate birthdays.

And we're going to podcast. And it's going to be fantastic. Lay it out for what does it look like? Because I don't, I've never, I've never had access to you. You never had access to me. I mean, in a regular hanging out way. It's, I'm in New York for two days, you're in L.A. for two days or we're at the Rosen shingle for two hours. You know, what's it going to look like?

What does regular access to me look like? Regular access to me looks like breakfasts, lunches. I'm a big meal time person. Okay? We set up meals. You want to meet me at a diner on Route 66 for a quick omelet at 7.30? I'm game. Okay?

That's what regular access to me looks like. Like, I love a morning. I love a walk. Okay, a walk in chat. I'm a big walk and chat guy. What about would you do another hike with me? Last time I took you hiking at Fryman Canyon. I would certainly do another hike with you.

That was a lovely time. And yeah, I, that's really meals are what I look like. Maybe a movie. We could catch a film. I would love to go to a concert. I'm a big concert goer. If there's something that I want to listen to out there, that would be wonderful. Yeah, dinners.

Dinners, breakfast, lunches. Food. Yeah. I can see that. I have a fabulous live sporting event that you might, knowing you, you might look at me and be like, what are you nuts? But it is so Josh coded. And I just went for the first time with Max two weeks ago.

And it was the, like, second only to me sitting courtside at the Orlando Magic Game, don't mean to brag. In Orlando. That was the only time. Being on the wood like that, I was like, this is the greatest sporting experience you can have. It is. Because you never get that close. Even if you're on the glass in hockey, you're never that close.

That said, they could create a little more elbow room. Would you agree? I mean, I've never been courtside. So I was like, this is amazing. No, I didn't have, I've only been once as well. And I just remember, I've told this story. All of my limbs were unloading on Michael J. Fox. to the point that he basically called me fat.

Okay? I had no room. I had no room. He's like, can you move your leg? I'm like, no, my leg. I haven't told you this story. No, tell us. I was invited by the same lovely man once a year that will give me the beautiful Montclair's.

Yes. I was invited by him to sit courtside. For Steph Curry's game, right? For Steph Curry's game. And sitting to my left was Michael J. Fox. and I they're just they're very tight like I was sitting like this but my shoulders are wider than the seat and my legs were wider than the seat and Michael was just like can you move your fat leg and I'm like no I'm trying like I can't you're talking about my hip I can't move my hip over like it's there

yeah they're a little bit snug maybe the maybe the maybe the maybe the magic. His ones aren't as snug. Ben's so out of it. He looks at his buddy. He's like, hey, restless leg over here. He's like, he has Parkinson. Oh, my God.

That's funny. Shout out the great Michael, Michael J. Fox. What a legend. Beyond legend, the greatest. Legend. And, wow, does he have legendary fucking seats? Imagine having those to every game. He deserves something.

Do you think, though, that you, I think that actually might be one, one thing. It doesn't get old. I think a lot of those experiences do get old. I feel like having season tickets quirkside to the New York Knicks or the Orlando Magic and watching that level of skill that up close all the time. I feel like that doesn't get old. The only way I would push back on that is that old, terrible saying, show me a hot girl and I'll show you a guy who's tired of sleeping with her.

Have you heard of this? Yes. Yes. Yes. I have. Yes. And it's terrible. Best things get old.

Terrible. We hate it. I just think that people are like, the greatest things on earth. Like people could get an ick from caviar. Like, I'm sure that game 30 into, what do they have like 40 home games usually? 40 home games. I guess my thought is that like they're against different teams. Every game is different.

Yeah, like there's so, like eating caviar tastes the same every time. That girl or that guy, you know what? Let's switch it to people don't give a shit. Yes. Okay. Even fucking the hottest dude gets boring. Totally. Like, yeah, like.

Randy. Yeah, that's because he doesn't change his positions, Josh. He just does the same thing. He's plow mode all the time. Hot dudes are not generous lovers. It's betas like me and Ben. Yeah, we're working hard. We're trying.

Ben's trying to win. I'm trying to win. I'm trying to win the game. But the game of basketball always changes. That's the only reason why I feel like it could be. consistently exciting. It would certainly ruin you can never sit anywhere else ever again. If you have season tickets courtside to a basketball team,

you can't sit anywhere else ever again. No good. It ruins it for you. It's the really, the greatest thing about being that close is hearing the players talk and how much the coaches, I was surprised, talk to the referees more than their own players.

Because at that point, my friend who plays basketball was explaining to me. He's like, it's as much managing the refs at this level. He's like, what are you going to tell LeBron to go into a two, three defense? He's like, these guys know what they're doing. Like, it's about managing the reps. Yeah, and trying to make sure that they stay on your side. Because there's real favoritism, certainly.

You'll see it across the board. Like home calls are a real thing. Crowd calls are a real thing. refs hate certain players, that's a real thing. Like if you look down the lines, it's like, oh, this ref calls so many more calls against this player because this player is a dick to him probably. Like it's real. So the coach controls those expectations.

It's crazy or those outcomes or tries to control those outcomes. God, the game of basketball. So sick. I know. So sick. Well, it might, wait, when does the season start? Can we catch a Laker game? Sure.

You'll be here for a Laker game. Yes. Or. So sad that it's. It's not a, or the Kings. Aren't you, you're a Kings guy? Is that what it is? I once was.

Oh, no, oh, that's the L.A. Kings. My bad. No, the L.A. Kings, I've been a lifelong fan for over two decades, and then I copped a resentment for how they treated me during the charity game. But I love the Kings. Or, and I know you're going to roll your eyes on me. But, you know, the Clippers have a brand new stadium I haven't been to at the Intuit Dome. I'm totally in.

I'm totally in. I'm Mr. Kauai Leonard, by the way. A Mr. Kaui Leonard, who happened to get $27 million extra to a random ass charity that maybe it's just a name. What can you do? Yeah, by the way, I briefly read that. Is he embezzling money? Is that what that was?

No, I think allegedly Paul Allen, is that the guy who owns the Clippers? Yeah. Number three from Microsoft. Just like threw him some, no, it's Steve Bomber. Steve Bomber, sorry. threw him some cash under the table.

Is that just what it is? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe not.

We're never going to get free Clippers tickets now. Fuck. No, we are. We are. Bring us. And we'll stop talking. Don't bring us. And we'll keep talking.

Well, hopefully, and I think they're going to get into the playoffs because my son and I went to an L.A.FC, L.A. Football Club game the other week. Nice. I can't. Okay. You know, obviously for the last couple decades there in the MLS, there's been the L.A. Galaxy, like all these teams.

And it was great, but it never quite. took off in the States. And then I think someone got really smart and was like, why don't we bring all the great European culture from the Premier League and from, you know, all these different, like, so they have like a supporters section at the LAAFC, an entire section of like true soccer hooligans going nuts, playing drums, having all these ill flags, LASC flags,

Mexican flags, like all this unbelievable culture and passion for the game people are so in and my friend the great Steve Michaels dear family friend gave us his seats Ben when I tell you we were on the field wow we were on the field watching and they have maybe the greatest player in soccer next to Messi son number seven he's with us the L-AFC we got the cool kids he played for 17 years for Tottenham now he's playing for us these guys are unreal it's we got to go Ben. It's unbelievable. I would love, I would love to go, this is the difference between the old MLS than the new MLS. It's just the fact that they got great players, finally. They got like, they pay, they overpaid or honestly, they didn't overpay because they're changing the sport.

They brought over these guys like Messi and they're killing it. It's fun soccer to watch. And they brought, I think the Kings have more, I've never seen so many celebrity investors. I think Will Ferrell is like the owner of the L.A. Kings. And, or, or, or L-A-F-C. They've, like, a huge suite of celebrities that are owner, like true owners. Yes. Don't they? Isn't that a thing?

L-A-F-C and then also the Angel City, which is the Women's League, has a huge celebrity kind of investment. It's really cool. Now, what I can say is that I've been to a NYFC game, and it was not like what you're describing. Really? I think, yeah, it was a fun environment. I mean, it was a, it was nice. It was at Yankee Stadium.

They put it on, but the soccer was just not good. I don't know if they, this was a while ago. Maybe they also cherry picked a player from overseas. But when I was there, there was no, this was like the old MLS, which was just like watching, what is that, Adam Sandler and the replacements. Like just, it's just not the caliber of talent that you want to see. Yeah, we, it was really great. And yeah, you need a stadium like this is the Bank of Montreal Stadium, which is brand new

near the Coliseum and it's built for soccer. And it was fabulous. The Bank of Montreal. Are there a lot of people banking at the Bank of Montreal in L.A.? Yeah. Have you not noticed them all over New York? We have none in Manhattan. None?

None. They're really popular out. They're getting very popular out here. That's fascinating. Wow. It's like the Ryder Cup, which we spoke about with the great fibula, the golf tournament. Their main sponsor was city. And it's funny, I thought to myself,

there are no city banks in New York. Why are they a sponsor? Wild. Is it? I don't know. No, it's wild. Like my bank, who I bank with in California, is owned by the Royal Bank of Canada.

Interesting. You go where there are branches. As long as you have a local branch. Love a brand. I love a branch. Hate an ATMV. Hate it. Fuck you, 325.

It's a principal. It's a principal. If this Royal Bank isn't refunding you your ATM fees, you need to give them a call, Josh. You should be going to any fucking ATM and getting them refunded. It's a very normal thing. Totally. And I love that I actually went to an ATM machine in Georgia. And it was the first time in my life that I took out 300 bucks.

I heard money didn't come out. I call my bank. I go, listen, here's receipt. Money never came out. They said, you're sent. a good customer, we're going to already forgive it, and then we'll look into it. Forgive it right away. Boom. Back in my account. That's lovely. That's lovely, because normally they don't do that with cash. Cash is a scary game. Credit card companies, no problem. They

refund you willy-nilly. That's why, just saying, always use your credit card, folks. Don't use debit cards. You can't dispute in the same way, unless, of course, you're Josh Peck with the Royal Bank of Canada. But otherwise, it's scary. So to the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Element. Folks, you know we love Element here at the Good Guys podcast because we're always doing the most. We're always out on the go walking around, walking our babies, walking ourselves, walking aimlessly. We walk a ton.

Walk and talk. I love a walk and talk. So does Josh. And folks, you know what you do on a walk and talk? You drink a ton of water. I drink a ton of water. And I used to drink a ton of water because I thought that that was how you got hydrated until I found Element.

Element helps anyone stay hydrated without the sugar and other dodgy ingredients found in popular electrolyte sports drinks. Electrolite deficiency or imbalance can cause headaches, cramps, fatigue, brain fog, weakness. You don't want any of that, okay? And there's also there's zero sugar, electrolyte drink mix and sparkling water. Again, born from the growing body of research, revealing that optimal health outcomes occur at sodium levels two to three times the government recommendations. That's the key, folks. Salty, element is salty. And what you need is salt. Salt has gotten a terrible reputation of the years, okay? Without salt, we're not hydrated. And so when you're just drinking water with no electrolytes in it,

it's not doing anything for you. That's why you have that feeling in your mouth where you're like, oh, I'm still thirsty. Yeah, that's because you're dehydrated, bro, and water isn't going to fix it. Each stick pack delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes free of sugar, artificial colors and other dodgy ingredients. An element is formulated for anyone on a mission to restore health through hydration.

It's perfectly suited for athletes like us, folks who are fasting like us, folks on keto diets like us, low-carb, whole food, paleo diets, it's us. And folks, look, Rob, Wolf.

somewhere you can't get in. And then you're saying, Ben, can I get a reservation? No. No. No. I can't. I'm sorry. I'm going to start sabotaging these fucks and be like, yeah, there's this really

cute pizza spot called Sabaro in Times Square. I can get your reservation right now. I can get your reservation right now. Yeah. It's great. It's an incredible place. There's a cinema at Port Authority. That's funny.

The best tacos in the city or this place called Chapulte. I can get you. a table. It's through the roof. Delais. Perfect. I've really had enough. Can you get me a reservation at Carbone? No! No, only I can ask for that. And only

sometimes. Yeah, it's literally sometimes. As long as you're down to eat at 4.30 or 10 o'clock. It's a privilege. Olivia, what is our wonderful caller's name? Actually, I don't even... I'm anonymous. No problem. Let them in. Please. Let them in. Let them in.

All right. Caller. Hello. Do we have you? Yes, we do. Oh my God. Hello. Hello. Welcome, welcome to the good guys podcast. You are our first live call. And what is your name? You don't have to give first and last, but just your name would be great. Yeah, my name is Teresa. Teresa or Teresa? Teresa. Teresa or Teresa? Teresa. Teresa. Teresa. Lovely to meet you. And where are you calling from? Teresa was the name of Richard Simmons housekeeper who they were worried killed him. So you're in good company, Teresa. Not me.

Wouldn't that be crazy? She's here. The cop, she's here. Teresa, where are you calling from? I'm calling from Nashville. Oh, amazing. I love Nashville. What a fun city.

Yeah, it is a fun city. Teresa, what do you have for us? How can the good guys be good to you? Yeah, well, okay, so first off, have to say I am a to Tostata. So shout out to Jackson's God for bringing me to your podcast. I wrote notes for myself, so I'm hoping to keep this brief for you guys. So I'm calling for fatherly advice from both of you. So I'm a first-time mom.

My son is three and a half months old, and I absolutely adore my husband. But I could use a lot more help with the baby around the house. He is always willing to help if I ask. He's always willing to do the diaper changes, the feeding, all of that. But he is absolutely terrified for me to leave them alone at the house. So like gone for an hour, hour and a half for a nail appointment or an errand or something. And that is just too scary of a task. So calling to ask for your advice, maybe your first experience is staying home alone with the babies.

advice for me, advice for him of how to tackle this situation. Interesting. Okay, so first of all, congrats, three and a half months. That's like pretty close to Ruby. Yeah. So congrats to you and congrats to your husband. That's amazing. Do you leave him alone with the baby like in the other room when you're in the house?

Like does he ever get Tom? Absolutely. So what is he scared of? Yes, the crying. It's like as soon as he cries, oh my gosh, what do I do? Hands him back to me. Got it. Okay. Yeah, no, that's a problem. I mean, he needs to also learn how to soothe. There are things that you do, right, that calm down the baby, right? I don't know if it's a, like, what do you do, pacify or feed or burp or like run through a

laundry list with him. Stand up and bounce. Yeah. Yeah, stand up, bounce, pat him on the back. He knows the routine. Her baby, I will admit, was colicky for the first two and a half months, but he no longer is. And I think that kind of just traumatized him. So I think it's pulling him out of that baby doesn't exist anymore. We now have a happier baby. Yeah, but even if that baby does exist, it's his baby. Like, he's got to deal with it. He's got to deal with the fact that his baby, even if his baby is crying for an hour while you're not there, nothing's going to happen. He's going to do his best. And then when you came back, sure, it was a stressful hour. But right, Josh? I think it's just, it's his baby and he's got to buck up. I would say I'm not

surprise only because there's so many men like this and it still sounds like you got a winner but he's just a bit of a scared cat yeah and i think it's easy you know traditionally in many circumstances i can only speak from my experience with my wife she does a lot of the wake-ups her and my son already have a shorthand with him being three months old they're just she's queued to his small volume changes and cry to the way he's looking around his grunts his moves his squads his squads his scoves his scoes It sounds like a little mini teradactyl. It terrifies me. So I think all those things, it's easy when they start to cry.

And all of a sudden, you just, it's as though you are a second in front of your husband. So instinctively, just from being that close with your child, there's just something that goes on where it's an extra second quicker that that kid's going to stop crying. And for any dad, we're such problem solvers that were like, oh, quickest, boom, done, out of here. So again, to Ben's point, I think there's really easy ways to do practice runs where you're not far, but for all intensive purposes for the next two hours, I'm not here. And let him try. And he should know that babies can cry. It's okay.

If they're changed and fed and healthy, crying's not going to hurt them. And that's going to get clipped and I'm going to get dragged for it. but you guys know what I mean. Take, no, but no, but it's take fear out of the equation. Like nothing, you said that perfectly, Josh. Baby, thank God is healthy, like normally happy. If he's crying, he'll stop crying. Maybe it's gas.

Maybe it's a diaper. Maybe it's a bottle. Maybe it's something. You're going to try things. Maybe it's bouncing up and down. You're going to try things. Eventually it's going to work. But knowing that if the baby cries, nothing's going to happen.

Nothing's going to happen. Don't be so scared. He sounds scared. to what Josh said. So just reassuring, don't be scared. We got this. You got this. I believe in you. Superdad. I'll catch you later. All right. Well, I'll do it. I'll do it this weekend. All right. Be down the street. Call me if you need me. Amazing. Well, go sit in the car. Have you vape? Have you vape? Do what I do. Sit in your car, stare out at nothing. And imagine what life could have been. A couple different turns, you know.

That's good. Yeah. But on bad day by Daniel Powder. Yeah. Teresa, this was wonderful. Thank you for being our guinea pig in a successful experiment.

We greatly appreciate you. Yeah, I feel like I'm talking to my podcast that I'm listening to. You are. This is the future. We're here. Fuck AI.

We have live call-ins. Hell yes. This is Collins. If you want to call in, click the link in our bio. And maybe we'll choose you like the lucky. Teresa to come on our show and talk about your problems.

We're here to help. Teresa, thank you so much. Thank you. Teresa, Baruch Hashem to you and to the ones you love. B. H.

Wow. That was great. Wow. That was great. Good for us. Good for us. Thank you, Olivia.

Thank you, Ben. By the way, and that was seamless. That was easy. They're in there out. They're in their out. They're in their out. They're in their out.

And now I want to get some potential admitting to murder. Maybe we need an ambition. We need something juicy. I'm happy Teresa was our first because she was a softball. That said, folks, we need you to raise the states. Okay? I want you to commit a crime and come on and tell us about it. Larsoning, larceny.

We're inciting riots. Yes. Come on and let's talk about it. You're hiding out in the Hudson Valley after stealing a snickers from the bodega. I want to hear about it.

Yeah. I love it. You took too much, I don't know, turmeric and you're worried about your liver? I want to hear about it. You want to get out of Scientology and you need our help. Or if you want to get into Scientology and you need our help. Do you know Rita Wilson? Is that who it is?

No, Leah Remini. Yeah, that's her. Of course, Lee of Rems. Yeah, we should have her on the pod. Talk about, because we need to get informed on. We can't. We can't do it because they'll find our address. I don't want it.

By the way, that's such a weird expression. You think, like, where does that come from? I have a frog in my throat. Wonderful, Olivia, and her strawberry shortcake socks is on it. Yeah, I'm sure that expression was invented in Ohio. Like the bicycle. The bicycle, the airplane, all good things. Most likely derived from the frog-like croaking sound made by somebody with a horse voice.

Ah, got it. Okay. Cool. But there were medieval superstitions about frogs in the body and the practice of using frogs to cure throat intentions during the medieval time period. Shout out. God, we were dumb. Like, no frogs don't belong in your throat. They're not going to help you with anything.

Ooh, that would be a good. How about now? You should look that up like medieval surgical and medical techniques, like bloodletting, leeches. They still use leeches, Dr. Dubrow. By the way, I think it's kind of classy and call me craze, but I've got my new fancy socks on from. sacks or sponsors, shout those out, really fun, cute, with these fun aloe slides. And you know what? I, you would say socks and slides, you know, what do you play for the 76ers? No, I'm, I'm just here killing it. I think it's a classy look. What is the brand? Allo. Fantastic, Josh, you are,

you are there. Shout out. Allo's cool. Allo's cool. It's a nice slide. Alos where all the cool celebs hang out. Don't I know. You work out of there. Don't they have a job? Don't they have a Jim? Yeah, that's where I do the great Jake Shane and the great Brooks Schofield and all those cool kids work out. Oh, I have to tell you, as you're looking this up, so to close to bookend my LAFC wonderful time and trip. So we're sitting there and it's one of those sections where you can bring food to your section. Like there's a like a lounge area where they have all this beautiful food laid out and you take it and you bring it to your seat. So we're sitting there and a woman begins to choke.

And she's like properly choking. So everyone in the area starts going like, oh my God, oh my God, right? Now she gets up and she's like, oh, and people are like, yo, yo, she's choking. And they're like trying to get attendance to come over. So this woman, and I'm like, I know CPR from the American Heart Association. I'm ready to go. But thankfully someone else intervened.

So this woman sitting next to me gets behind her and is giving her hard Heimlich pushes. It's like, oh, my God. And it's not coming out. And I'm looking at Max, and Max is just like, and I'm like, oh, my God. So thankfully, one of the trainers from the other soccer team is like a section away and looks over and sees it. And she sprints over and starts doing the heimlich on this woman. Like, this was a civilian, Demar Hamelin. My God.

This was literally the trainer saving the life. of a spectator. And thank God, it shot out of her mouth. But it was the level of embarrassment on this poor woman's face. Of course. Unreal. Chew your food. Chew your food.

I've told this story on the podcast before. I was on a golf trip and my friend was eating a fish sandwich. He got a big fucking piece of cod. I guess he didn't chew it. Lodging his throat. I went behind him. I gave him the hymn look. He spit it out.

Hell yeah. I'm telling you, folks, chew your freaking food. And if you're giving the hymline, give it hard. Give it hard. They're going to die. Give it hard. Josh, I wish I never looked this up, okay? I'm ready.

Having a good day, how about now? Dried frogs were tied around the neck to treat throat infections. Okay? There's a list of these, okay? Ready for this? Dog fat, these are, in medieval times, folks, we used animals to cure diseases or so we thought. Dog fat was rubbed on sore joints. or used in ointments for ear aches.

Well, we killed a dog, took their fat and rubbed it in our ears. Nuts. Dog shit often dried was sometimes used for wounds. Yeah. We took dried dog shit and put it on our wounds. This is why people died early, Josh. There was so much trial and error to get us to where we are today. We thought that rubbing dried dog shit in an open wound was going to heal it.

Walk me through that, Josh. Walk me through that. Okay, one more. Pigeon droppings. No, no, no, this one's better. Rooster testicles. I didn't even know roosters had testicles. Rooster testicles were prescribed to boost fertility or libido.

Women were eating rooster testicles. Shout out. Having a good day. How about now? How about not? How about not? Well, how about this? Having a good day?

Some people believe that Bigfoot is a special operations alien in the sense of a Navy SEAL that are here to recruit other aliens. How about now? Oh, God. People are dumb as hell. I don't even know. I literally hear this. Bigfoot is a recruiter for aliens and it's kind of a Navy SEAL. He comes down.

He's like doing scouting. Like why? It's so like we need to just fix this. These people shouldn't be allowed to vote. If you think not only Bigfoot exists, but that Bigfoot recruits, yeah, he's a Navy SEAL dog. You can't vote. You can't vote.

I'm sorry. You can't. We should be monitoring people's search history and removing their right to vote. I think they're doing that. By the way, I wouldn't be allowed to vote. My search history is dumb. Oh, my God. Please.

How do you spell the? You know when you randomly forget? You're just like, T-H-E, that doesn't sound right. Are you sure? Yeah, I mean, if you saw my Pornhub search words, it'd just be like slightly overweight but not really. Just keywords like a real person's body. My keywords are a white,

praising you. Positive affirmations from normal looking woman. Why is telling you. You sleep. It's so sad. Oh, that's so funny. Oh, my God. Oh, man.

It's so sad. Should we get to a story? Yeah. What are we got? Well, the New York Post said, Olivia, like that one. Why just one can of Diet Coke may be worse for your health than regular soda. Maybe sugar substitutes aren't such a splendid idea. In eye-opening new study links artificially sweetened beverages to an increased risk of metabolic dysfunction

associated with steototic liver disease, the most common liver disease in the U.S. Surprisingly, these supposed guilt-free guzzlers carried a higher risk. than sugary soda. Our study shows that low or non-sugar sweetened beverages were actually linked to a higher risk of liver disease, even at the modest intake levels, such as a single can per day. Shit.

Look, but this is, we're living. We have so many problems, Josh. I can't even think about that problem. If we start thinking about those problems, can I do another having a good day, how about now? Because I have one. Please. Okay.

Having a good day, how about now? You know that the average person ingests a credit card's worth of plastic each week? Okay. I love your passion. I just want to, because I hear things like that thrown around a lot. No, no, no, I read it. There was a study. I'll send you the article.

Okay, but again, is what everything has a study, but there's levels of studies. There's people who drink through, from people who drink water from plastic water bottles. Okay, but who did the study? You want me to send it to you? Sure. Okay. We have the fact check all of these having a good day. How about nows?

No. You want me to go to the medieval frogs? No, no. Fact check with the person? I just think a lot of the people that we make fun of, like, the new vo, hot topic, you know, health and wellness folks out there talk a lot about these microplastics things. I know that it's happening.

I just don't know if it's in the amount or as alarming as people are making it. That's my only pushback. But I think it is. And my point to what we were just talking about is I can't do anything about it. It is what it is. You can't do anything about it. It's 100% right. That's what I'm saying.

We're our life. I'll send you the article. But look it up because regardless of if whatever degrees, it's definitely a problem. And I can't do anything about it. I was literally looking in my house. I'm like, okay, I drink plastic water bottle. every single day. So maybe I'll switch to glass, right?

But then it's like every, everything, everything is plastic. Everything that I consume every single day is plastic. And you want to like say, okay, I'm going to eliminate plastic water bottles. But then you're, you're going to go and your morning iced coffee that you get from Starbucks. You're going to bring your own jug. People do. People do. Yeah, they could.

When you go to the grocery store and you buy lettuce, it comes in a plastic container. When you go and go to a farmer's market? You could. You could. You could. The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. So should we be fearful of it? No, but when I read that headline statistic, a credit card's worth of plastic,

regardless of how true it is or not, scared me. Regardless of how true it is or not, I'm saying it. Well, I thought it was true. You made me think about it. But I don't, like, the article has plenty of sources in it. Okay. I just think it's important to find, like, like, even, you know, things like, you know, the big Tylenol bombshell and all these things.

Like, then I think, like, all of these studies, like, have caveats, and some are of a higher level where there's, like, tens of thousands of participants. And it's a, you know, what's the gold standard? Like, there's a placebo group. And then there's a control group of people who are actually getting it. And they can really see. through a bunch of different people and backgrounds and ages and ethnicities and all the ways in which it affects them differently.

And then some people would be like, oh, this study and it was like eight people. Totally. That's all I'm saying. I don't know why that's different from the Aspartame or Splendous study that you read. Fair enough. Fair enough. You're right. The study, too, that he's referencing was done by the World Wildlife Fund, which they found

plastic like on every landmass in the entire world, like in the Arctic. I can't find the exact specifics, but they say like a credit card worth is likely what everybody is consuming just based on the fact that there's so much in the environment. But then there are other studies from the American Chemistry Council that dispute the idea that it's that much, but they still acknowledge that we're consuming a ton of plastic on a daily basis. So I think you're both right. And what was concerning about the article, if you read more, Olivia, is that even if it's not a credit card's worth, even if it's tiny, plastic is like getting in our arteries. And it's causing heart attacks. It's clogging arteries. And again, I'm not saying this to scare anybody because there's nothing to fucking do about it.

There's nothing to do about it. I'm not going to change my way of life. Because it's done. What I want to know is, can we clean ourselves? And I Googled it. And they said no. Can we cleanse ourselves of microplastics? They're like, no.

I'm like, okay, so the damage is done. I'm 33. I'm full of plastic. I might as well be full of plastic. 100%. And the big issue with microplastics is they're endocrine disruptors. So they mess with your lymph system And they totally do

The great Jordan Harbinger Friend of the Pod Did a whole episode about plastics And you're right, they suck And they're in everything They're unavoidable And they mess with you And you're test

They suck They're messing with your testosterone It's why most men Except us are betas It's just so interesting And I don't want to go down This rabbit hole today We should go down this rabbit hole next time

But it's like We blame everything around us For all of our health problems What if it's just plastic, Josh? Could be? Who knows? I don't know. I certainly don't know.

I certainly don't know. All I know is when I started to look at how much plastic I use, it was like, oh, my God, I can't do this. I can't give up plastic. What do I do? No fun. I don't want to. No, thanks. It's too inconvenient.

Like, I can't do it. It's kind of like, and I don't know if we'll cut this out, but like when people talk about like the damage we've done to the environment in the last 100 years. I'm like, guys, if we've done this much damage in less than 100 years, it's over. It's over. Agreed. We've ruined this million-year-old planet in 100 years. How?

How do we reverse this? Like, I want to. I just feel, I feel so helpless. We reverse this by dying out. I guess so. No, that's what happens. Once we die out, like, then everything will reset. That's it.

I have to assume that equal damage has been done by other civilizations. And then they died. And then their bodies decomposed and something then grew over it. And the plastic sinks to the bottom of the ocean or bottom of the world or whatever it is. And we rebuild Josh. All of a sudden there's flowers on the plastic. And there's soil on the plastic. And it just goes deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.

It just looks like the last of us. It's just like a mushroom planet. Yeah. This episode of The Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends. It's Sleep Me, folks.

Don't ask for recommendations. If you're going to New York or L.A., we don't care. Let's hear from somebody good, somebody real good. Shelby. What's up, morons? What's up, Josh and Ben? This is Shelby phoning in. My boyfriend and I recently got engaged, and I'm calling in to see what are your thoughts and opinions on courthouse weddings?

A lot of us out here are not famous, rich actors starring in Oppenheimer, the last of us, the whackness, and we're not entrepreneurs where our product is sponsoring people in the U.S. Open and being sold out of Target, all right? What are you nuts? No, I'm 30. My fiance is 33. I work for the state, and he works. works for a retirement community. We're barely making ends meet. Okay?

We're barely surviving out here. I would love to know what are your thoughts and opinions. Love you guys. Thanks. Love you. You sound like you're rich in life experience and love, which is all that matters. Money is the root of all evil. Okay.

I think that marrying, getting married in the courthouse is fucking awesome. I think that long engagements are absolutely horrendous anyways. And if you want to, whatever makes you have, happy. So I think going to the courthouse, getting married, starting your life, I would recommend having, like, if you can, a dinner or have a couple of friends over to the house or whatever you can do. You should celebrate it in a way that fits your lifestyle and your means. But I would celebrate the moment, but I love a courthouse. No problem. It's fantastic. If it's good for the state, it's good for me. Josh? I totally agree. I think a courthouse wedding is gorgeous. It's easy.

it's smart. I truly believe no matter what your income bracket is, a wedding, like a big opulent wedding is truly only if you have a desire to throw money away. Doesn't mean it's negative. I was always kind of like anti-wedding because I didn't grow up with a traditional family. And I got married to my wife and all of our friends and family were in one place. And I said, this is the best day of my life. Because it really was special to have all the people who loved us in one place. That being said, it doesn't have to be for 100. hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like, you could throw a cheap party without all the pomp and circumstance and the flowers

and the valet and the thing and the thing and the band and just be like, let's get a killer mix tape. Let's get some of the best fucking pizza in whatever city we're in. I'm talking wings. I'm talking. Or like, get a taco cart. You know, there's just like plenty of like cost effective super yummy ways to like throw a killer party with the people who love you for like a couple grand. Yeah.

And it's absolutely about the people. Absolutely about the people. As long as the people will come, whatever your top 50 people or whatever that number is, as long as they come, you're going to have the best time. Get a bunch of cheap wine. Sprit society. Cheap. Target. You said it.

Cheap wine. It's delicious. Pick up a, I don't know. I love a taco truck idea, Josh. That's a great one. And have fun. Enjoy your life. Honestly, I'm jealous.

Sounds great. And you get more quickly fucked up than from top shelf liquor. Don't get belvedere. Get four logos. Get buzz balls. They have a Halloween-inspired buzzball at Costco right now, $18. It's the size of a basketball. I was like, I want a relapse.

My God, that headache. It looked yummy as hell, caramel apple flavor. It probably is yummy as hell. Probably 400 grams of sugar. My head already hurts. Let's hear this next one from Samantha Young. Samantha Young. I want to be

Samantha. I'd love your advice on a rather personal topic. So I'm a mother of a two-year-old and a six-month-old. And I work a really stressful fine wine sales job and I drink so much of my energy. My husband just got a big raise and has expressed that he would like me to be a stay-at-home mom. But I was raised by a girl boss mom. And I feel really conflicted about relying on him financially. My dream would be to just be a yoga instructor early.

in the mornings and then work at a winery a couple days a week. I feel like it would allow me to not be so stressed out and to keep my own identity beyond being a wife and a mother. My question to you is how do I balance identity, financial security, and being present with my family? I feel just so pressure to stay on my high-paying job. Yeah, love you guys. I'd love your advice, please.

Thanks. This would be a good calling. Yeah, that's a very loaded question. A great question. That would be a great calling. We should probably reach out to her. First, if you don't want to be a stay-at-home mom, then you shouldn't be a stay-at-home mom.

That's the first thing that I'll say. The idea that, like, your husband is encouraging you to be a stay-at-home mom, it's wonderful if you want to be a stay-at-home mom. But if you don't want to be a stay-at-home mom, did you not? No, here were the key words that I heard. I have a very stressful and demanding job. Yes. Nothing flowery about the job other than,

she's clearly successful and it pays well. But not like it's really stressful, but I love it. That her husband just got a raise, that her ideal would be to teach yoga and then to have like work at a vineyard. Like it sounded like her idea would be to be at home with the kids and then have kind of more of like side jobs. So what I heard, unless I misheard,

she in the middle said, my husband got a big raise and encouraged me to be a stay-at-home mom. But it sounded like her trepidation about that was only because she came from a girl boss mother. Who I think she wants to, oh, interesting. Okay, it could be that. My advice was going to be that you use the money from your high-paying job to take care of your family if you really want to work. And if you would like to be present with your children, then you find balance.

it's a very hard thing across the board. I experience it every day. Like I actively, like, I want to spend, I spend a lot of time with Ruby. I want to spend more time with Ruby nonstop. Like, he's the best. I'm sure, Josh, you feel the exact same way. And you find a balance. It's hard.

Josh is like, no. No. No. I'm with my kids a lot. And I'm with my kids enough. Fuck me. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't my kids like, because I don't have a nine to five. So most days, like, at least two to three days out of the week, I'm picking them up from school at three and with them till they go to bed.

And I'm up with them at five in the morning till 8.30 when they go to school. So I just get this little window. And I love it. I'm going equinox after this. Fuck all of you. No. No, that sounds wonderful. For me, I guess it's because it's like Ruby's sleep schedules. I just feel like I only see him like for like an hour every three hours. Like, it's just like whatever. But moral of story is do what's right for you. It's not like advice that you're going to like.

We can't make this decision for you. If you want to spend more time with your family, do that. And pick up a side job. And it seems like your husband can provide, which is really great. And he's encouraging you to follow your dreams. I wouldn't feel pressured by your boss mom. But I also wouldn't feel pressured by your husband. We need to have this person call in.

We need to ask more questions. Sure. Olivia, anything? Yeah, I was just thinking with the wine sales, I was thinking back to prior to my move out to L.A. I worked at a country club in Cincinnati. And there was like an on-site Somalier. But our shifts would only be four hours at a time. It was like a morning shift and then an evening shift. So like what if you're like a Somalié part time at some kind of place in your city? And then to what she mentioned, like wanting to be like a yoga instructor or something

in the morning and pick that up a couple days a week. But I think that there are options for her to still, you know, do something that she feels like is hers, but, you know, have more time at home and not have, like, that stress, but be involved with the industry that she enjoy, or I don't know if she enjoys it, but what she's trained up in, you know? Very sound advice. I like that. I like that. Become a Sam.

Oh, yeah. Sam all day. But I. Sam all day. Sam all day. Some all yay. They. Sam all yay.

Yeah. Some all gay. That's me. I yeah dude I really tried to like when I listened to it the first time I tried to like look for clues and when she talked about her job that she currently has now she only talked about it with some more negative connotations demanding stressful and then when it came to her having kind of these part-time jobs and being more of a stay-at-home mom it seemed like the only limiting fact The only two limiting factors would have been, one that she has this model from obviously her mother,

who sounds fabulous and was the breadwinner for the family. And then if she was like, my husband wants it, but he doesn't make enough for us not to stress. But she led with he is. And so all those things combined. I'm like, if the only limiting factors, and I get that is, you know, you grew up one way and it would feel hard to sort of change into this other thing, I'd say, lean in because you can you can go back lean in lean in trying i don't think at least in my experience i don't i've picked my kids i've been lucky enough and i know it's a privilege to be able to pick

my kids first and almost every career decision i've had since they were born and i don't regret it like i there's not been a part where i was like i i would have rather missed these three months and been in, you know, wherever, somewhere in Canada on set. I don't feel that. Good. I'm lucky. You shouldn't. You are.

Okay. Well, let's hear from Anon. Hey, morons. Just piggybacking off some of your recent discussions about cheating and relationships. I went to Europe over the summer with some friends. My best friend ended up going home with this Italian guy. They had a good time, a good one-night stand. She comes back to the hotel.

He has already followed her on Instagram. And when my best friend saw his page, she saw that he had a girlfriend for like years, like literally all over his page. So she, with a healthy dose of drunken rage, decided to DM the girlfriend saying, hey, just so you know I fucked your boyfriend. My question is,

what are your thoughts on whether or not that was called for? Should my friend just have stayed out of it and have left that stranger she slept with whose own life? Or did she do the girlfriend a favor? She definitely did the girlfriend a favor. But the girlfriend probably knew. He's an Italian stallion. Like, this is like just like him being him, you know?

He's him. You know? Like, like, this isn't the first time. Asepe. Okay. You think that you're the first American that he's canoodled with. Please. Yeah.

She probably wrote back like, that's it. That's all you got. Right. You know? Like, yeah. Duh. You think you're the first women's studies major from Wesleyan who was vacationing in Rome and got ticked down by Antonio? You're not.

No, definitely not. No, this is perfect. No, it's perfect. No, this is culture. This is culture. It's so funny. It's true. It's so true.

And fuck Wesleyan. You think you're the only sociology major from Tufts who went to Florence and had a rendezvous with a guy named Alfredo. No. No, you're not. You're not. Let's get to what are you nuts, Ben? What are you nuts, Josh? Or what are you nuts moments?

There are gripes with people, places, and things, whatever sticking in your craw, Josh. I will go first and I have to read it to you. Okay, you ready for this? AI, Josh. AI has gone too far. Okay? Claudia, my beautiful wife, is on, she ordered the new iPhone, okay? This was, I don't know, probably two weeks ago.

And she was just trying to change the delivery address. As I mentioned, we're going to L.A. It's going to be delivered during the time that we're in New York. So she wanted it delivered to L.A. So she reached out to the Apple Chatbot. And she said, hi, can I please change the delivery address? Ready for this response, Josh? Yeah.

It's, hi, I place an order. Can I change my delivery address? Here's my order confirmation. Perfect. I hope you're doing well. I hope you and your loved ones continue to stay happy and healthy. I completely understand you here that you want to change the delivery address on your order. And I can totally relate with you.

And sometimes things won't go as planned. And we need to change our addresses as well. And I generally appreciate you sharing your concern with me. I'm here to support you through this. If I were in your place, I'd feel the same as the same has happened to me in the past as well. I remember I ordered AirPods as a birthday gift for my mother, but I mistakenly selected my address instead of my mother's address.

And I change that from my side as well. I want you to know I have taken full ownership and I'm not leaving this halfway. I also see that you've already shared your web order with us. Is this the one that you're referring to? Happy to help. Are you nuts? Are you crazy? Claudia literally just wrote, shut up.

You're like, stop it. Like the empathy, the fake empathy. It's like the relatability. Just stop it. Stop it. I need a change. Sure, what's the address? Yeah.

What are you nuts? Apple? Check your AI. That's so good. It was insane. That's insane. That's insane. I was recently driving on the freeway and you know how there'll be little parts of freeway cleanup

that'll say this part of the freeway is sponsored. by or was donated by so and so. And on the 405 freeway, it said, this part of the freeway is sponsored by Atheists United, to which I'd say, sounds like a church. What are you nuts? Yes. Sounds like a church atheist. Yes, because you're united.

Yeah. And your higher power is something. You need a fellowship. You need a friend. And it's sponsored by Atheists United, Josh. that means they're probably making donations. Who runs Atheist United? A priest?

Like, yeah. What do you call your leader? God. Him, Josh, him. Folks, this episode's five stars. Otherwise, what are you nuts? Listen to us wherever you get your podcast. Watch us on YouTube.
