Good Guys - REUNITED! Drake Bell on Touring, Fatherhood & Life After Nickelodeon

Episode Date: February 2, 2026

Mazel Morons! Oh boy, do we have a treat for you this week. Drake Bell is back on the show and immediately thrown into the madness: Josh’s flu-voice, Ben’s missing ass (as confirmed by Zepbound), and a deeply emotional discussion about… toddler pooping anxiety. We catch up on Drake’s wild year - 91 shows, 150 flights, Latin America tours, dad life in Florida, Minions Land obsessions - and Drake tells the full story of the absolutely deranged reality show that made him dive off a 33-foot platform and burst his eardrum. We also get into parenting philosophies, routines, gambling responsibly (we think), dermatology fears, how becoming fathers changed everything, and whether the trio has officially entered their “unc” era. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, heartfelt, and exactly the kind of episode fans loved the last time Drake joined the show. Leave us a voicemail here!

Mazumorons, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. We have Drake Bell here, but most importantly, I'm getting over the flu, so my voice sounds like an adorable 12-year-old with emphysema. A 12-year-old and emphysema. How did you get emphysema at 12? Listen, I worked for Nickelodeon. Those buildings. It's stressful.

All the asbestos. I like your voice like this. I think it sounds sexy. It's great. It's pretty good. I like it. What kind of flu gave you this like? What do you need?

It's all the flirting. I know. I was flirting with you off camera. Off camera. Give it to me on camera so people know. Drake, you look gorgeous. Okay, you are getting jealous. Okay, Drake, you look gorgeous.

Josh, your voice is sexy. Nobody has said one fucking thing about me. I told you, I love the studio behind you. It looks beautiful. That's not me. That's the studio. Can I ask you something? Are those actual screen grabs from the show?

Or did you guys have to like fake laugh for the picture behind you? I think they're screen grabs. Okay. Because they look really like you're laughing. real stuff. Otherwise, that's just like, you guys are great actors. Like, oh, okay. Yeah, no, it looks great. I am wondering, I was thinking like maybe we redo it.

No, it's awesome. But, you know, if you like it, we'll keep it. Yeah, no, it looks great. Let's get real madmen right now and have you, if you want us to compliment you, when you stand up, just a little twirl. Wow. Relaxed. Really good. I've been working. I've been working on my ass. I hope that it showed.

How, in what way? squats? I haven't been working on my ass. It's the one thing that just like it's gone. It's totally gone. The Zepbound. I'm on Zepbound, Drake. A modest GLP.

I actually think it's one of the kings of GLPs. It hits two food suppression centers and it just ate my ass. I used to have this big, juicy ass and it ate. Tidal. Zepound ate my ass. I can hear Eli Lilly calling now being like, that's not a side of that. It ate it. It's gone.

It's gone. Well, you both look fantastic. What's going on? How's Los Angeles? Drake, how are you? What's new? Haven't seen you in a bit. Yeah, I'm great.

I'm great. I've just got off tour finally. We had a crazy year last year. We did like 91 shows. We got to do some appearances together, which were really fun. So we had to go out on the road and see the fans. And we've done some really cool stuff. And so now it's cool.

I'm here being able to relax for a minute, and it's not freezing cold and windy outside finally. Yeah. This guy never stops. How many different countries last year? A dozen? At least. Yeah, yeah, like a dozen.

Because we didn't do Europe or anything. We were all Latin America. But yeah, I mean, the last leg was wild. We were all over Argentina, Peru, Montevideo, Chile. I mean, it's all over. And it's crazy.

I was trying to figure it out. So it's like 91 shows. And each one of those shows is like a round trip flight. So it's either direct or it's connecting. So it's like, maybe like 150 flights last year. And don't tell me, don't you pull a Drake on this one. Because you're going to upset me here. What loyalty programs?

Are you getting your miles? Are we in? Tell me the point, Drake. I want a point. Well, I fly so many different airlines. Do I know this kid? He's willy-nilly. Sir, do you have your loyalty number?

His manager saying it right now, he's like, Drake's like any scene he gets the back of the play. Do we at least have like global entry TSA? Like we're flying through the airport. I do. Yeah, yeah. I fly through the airport. I have free check and clear.

Great volunteers for the extra search. You want to go take me in the office room? No, I travel easily. But no, it's just like we did a lot of travel. We did a lot of travel last year. 91 is amazing. Yeah, that is a show every four days, Josh. Yeah.

When do you sleep? It's awesome. And that is, it's amazing. On the plane. On the plane is where I get the most, the most sleep, yeah. But, and tell me now, because I don't know. And Olivia, feel free to chime in here. Are we unc?

Are Drake and I unc? I've heard it. I've heard it. Are we officially unc? I don't think so. I don't think so. Because doesn't uncunk mean uncool? No, it means uncle.

Uncle. Right, but uncle, but it also isn't, isn't it an act like un, like not cool anymore? Now, here's the distinction. If you are a chopped- Un- Usually not cool or there's something. Then you're not cool. If you are just a regular, you know, fancy sh-ma-if you're just unk, then you're just an old, you know, an older person.

But if you're a chopped-unk. You're not-knob. I've heard it a few times. I've heard it a few times. I don't know what this trend is. You're not unk. Maybe with your beard, you're a little unkey, like a little. But you've got a little bit.

You went from hunky to unkey, man. I don't know. Oh, true. You're hunks. That's good. Hunks. not unks. Well, because, like, obviously now you've been touring for two decades,

basically like, do you find it? All the travel wears on you a little bit more in your unkness? Okay, I'll be Jason. Definitely have to tour differently. Yeah. It's not so much of a, you need your rest. You need your sleep. You feel it.

Back in the day, dude, I could burn the candle at both ends. Oh, I've got a show. I mean, now, I mean, there's. shows now where they're like, I'm like, oh, what times, when do we start tonight? Oh, it's a late one. We go on at 11 and you're like, oh, like, that's past my bedtime. Like, how are I going to perform? It's going to be an hour and a half show. I'm not going to be at home until one o'clock. And oh, man, and I got a flight in the morning. Before I'd be like, oh, cool. And then where are we going after that? And then we'd go straight to the airport. And then I'd sleep on the plane. And then I, you know,

but you had the energy to do that. Right. And I, well, I think having kids to get, you know, when you're only thinking, I think meant, not just physically, but like mentally, if I'm only thinking of myself and I'm like, oh, I can do this, I can do that, but you're, you know, when you have kids, you're like, okay, what's going on at home and are they cool and this is that? And, oh, I can't go out and, you know, I have to be like clearheaded and I need to be this because if something happens at home and with the kids. So I think there's just like so much more. Yeah. Not just like, oh, my bones, my back, you know, even though that does definitely play a part. Well, so you're touring solo and then you're coming home after every show

to see your family. You're not staying out there. They're not with you. No, I, family stays home and then I, I'm on the road, yeah. Wow. Yeah. And it's cool. That's got to be tough. It is. It's, it's tough. I mean, we've, we've gotten used to it. It's become like a very night. I mean, I would, I would, it's, it's longer stints, but it's like, oh, uh, I get time with mom and mom and, you know, Wednesday through Thursday and I'm with dad Sunday through. It's just kind of the same thing, just longer blocks. Understood. And so I have, you know, I carve out tons of time to be home in Florida with my son. And I have a place out there.

And, you know, so I do get to have, you know, the wake up in the morning and get him ready for school and take him to school and have routine with him and all of that. I just have a job that takes me on the road for blocks at a time. I didn't realize that you were in Florida. What part of Florida are you in? I'm in celebration right in Orlando, right next to the parks. Okay. Amazing. Let's go celebrate. Dude, let's go.

I mean, I'm at the parks all the time. I just got it. My son loves minions now. Yeah. I make his whole bedroom, I mean, you know, I make his whole bedroom, Sonic the Hedgehog. Four days later, it's minions. So, but now we were always going to the Disney parks. And it was funny.

I was sitting watching, he was getting into Dispicable Me Now and he's loving the minions. And I was sitting there watching the movie with him. I'm like, oh, man, I wish Disney had something for minions. because we have our Disney passes and I could take him to Disney. And I'm like, wait a second. Universal has an entire Minions land. And it's literally we're 10, 20 minutes from the park, you know?

I was like, Wyatt, get in the car. Your mind's about to be blown. Like you have no idea what you're about to see. I'd never been, you know? And so I took him and we walked in and he's like, wait a second. Go on the Minions ride. We go on this. So I went and got passes for Universal.

So now it's rad. Like right after school, we can just go straight to you. He's like, oh, right after school, I go to Minions Land. You know, it's so good. Yeah, it's cool. That's so good. You know, Ben, since our last interview, Ben has had a beautiful son.

Yes. We're all the proud owners of some boys over here. That sounded weird. We are. We are. We are. You don't own a person. That's horrible.

I was absolutely, I don't know what it was, but I was absolutely 100% convinced I was going to have a girl. Me too. I just was like, that's what I'm going to get. You know, I'm going to get a girl. So, I mean, And it's my first. I don't know what I'm doing.

I went out and I bought all these cute girl, like, outfits and pink blankets and things for the room and just all this stuff. And then the doctor calls. And it's like, all right, so do you guys, you keep it surprised. But I'm like, no, I got to know. And she's like, hey, so you don't want to know? Like, yeah, yeah. Congratulations. You're having a boy.

I looked at, I was like, what are we going to do with all this stuff? It was the dumbest first dad move ever. So like buy everything before you know anything. And not buying anything neutral, not buying anything. Like it was strictly like, oh, I'm going to have like a princess daughter. Sure. Do you almost think that those purchases made you have a boy? It could have, you know?

Like you literally pushed the universe. The universe was like, I'm going to show him. He's so sure he's having a girl. Nope. No, I am not wearing that. I'm changing it. No. But I've already like been.

you're naturally athletic. Drake and I are a little more of the razzle-dazzle types. Like, I've already seen my seven-year-old look at me with disappointment of how I throw a football. Like, like when it, when it's sales, like a couple of them, they're going right to the bread basket. Can I tell you something hilarious? And I can't tell. He's like, I can't rely on this man. Josh, last night I played in a mid-30s to mid-40s pickup basketball. game. Hi.

And first of all, great game, lightly competitive, exactly what you want. And this guy, I knew it the second he got on the court. He introduced himself. He was first time playing in the game. He's like, yeah, I haven't played in two and a half years, but I love it. I'm like so happy to be back and play. I see him just go way too hard to the basket. Tore his knee first play.

Oh, yes. Really bad? Like, really bad. Like his knee was in a different place. We had to get a stretcher. And of course, because it's mid-30s, to mid-40s Jewish guys. Two people were doctors.

They looked at him, diagnosed him on the spot. They come back after. They're like, what was the diagnosis? They're like, it was a torn, whatever it was. And it was so fucking funny. It was, and terrible. And terrible. Of course, I hope he recovers.

But speaking of just, like, being less athletic, like, people should be very careful. Just because you were good at a sport at one point, just because you were athletic, be careful. Yeah. I saw it happening from mile away, and it was just brutal. Tell me about, first of all, your performance. And what's the warm-up look like? And are you wearing any fun clothes? Yes.

My performance was great. It's lovely to be lighter. It's a smaller court. Drake, you wouldn't know this, but I'm quite the shooter, a good shooter. I shot a little bit too much, but I made a lot. It was good. I really, they made me their leader. Like, by the end, it was like, they're like putting me on their shoulders.

Like, not actually on their shoulders, but it was a good game. Rudy. Rudy. It was a good game. I stretch for sure. before I'll do my, what is that, what do we call it? Scorpion stretch. Sure.

You know, I used to watch this video of George Burns when I was a kid. I just loved all this old comedians. And that was one of the things. At the beginning of his stand-up special, this was when he was like reaching 100, he showed you his morning routine. Like, this is, wow, I am able to be 100, you know? And one of his biggest things was stretching. Yeah.

So I think, you know, if you want to. reach 100. That's something that you should focus. It's big. And maybe Josh can show it to you later. Even if you go on a jog, even if you're going up Runyon or something, if you don't stretch, like, you're screwed. Yep. No, I stretch. I learned one stretch. It's a very embarrassing stretch. It involves being on my stomach and completely contorting my leg over to the other side. Josh probably has it on video. He can show you later. And that's my one stretch. That's it. It loosens up my back. It loosens up my legs. Then I'm ready to rock. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by my boys at Skins.

Do you like when I say that? You should tell me in the comments. Okay, and you obviously love skins. Let me tell you I'm doing my skims aderee in my underwear. Okay. I walk around in my underwear. My general complaint is that more people don't let me just walk around in my underwear wherever I want to go. If I could only be in my underwear all the time, I'd be in my underwear.

You know why? Because I'm not wearing these weird little tidy whitties. I'm wearing my gorgeous, beautiful skims. They come about, I don't know. thigh high. They really look like a bathing suit. I don't know what's wrong with it. Why can't I walk around the hospital while my wife is giving birth in just my underwear? Why can't I do that? The answer is I can. I have free will and people need to stop taking that away from me. Okay? People need to stop not letting me just wear my skins wherever I want because let me tell you,

I want to wear my skins every because they are so unbelievably comfortable. There's B.S. Before skins and A.S. After skins. You never, you can, never go back to your old stuff. Okay, you can't. It's too scratchy. It's not soft. It's not comfortable. It's just not you. I feel like I've been living. I haven't been living without my skins. And now, folks, I am living. And let me tell you, okay, their cotton five inch boxer brief, okay, listen to this, folks. At this point, let me tell you, I've tried every boxer, every boxer on the game. Nothing ever fits right, but we found a winner. Okay, they don't go all the way up. They're really nice. Sometimes, I'm sorry, these three inches, why don't you just work?

tidy whitties. They're too tight. They're too, too short. Not for me. But they are so comfortable. They're so comfortable. If you're a brief sky like me, this is the one for you. And let me tell you, if you're not a brief sky, you're a waddy and nuts. I don't know what to tell you. I don't what to tell your wife. I don't want to tell your boyfriend, your husband. I don't know what to tell any of you. If you're a tidy, witty, and you're not a brief sky, I don't know what to tell you. Folks, what I do know to tell you is that you should shop skimsmen at skims. Let them know we sent you. after you place an order, select podcast in the survey and select our show in the drop-down menu that follows. Folks, that is skims.com and shop skims men's.

A new documentary film from Paris Hilton. I've loved music ever since I was a little girl. What's your name again? I'll have, Drew. I think when people would see me out at night, they just saw this carefree girl. I knew somewhere deep down that if I listened to all those hateful comments out there in the world, that I would never recover, so I decided to own the narrative. Paris Hilton's Infinite Icon, a visual memoir, playing only in theaters, January 30th.

Get your tickets now. Stretching goes a long way. Like, even when we did, I don't know why we're talking about stretching, if this is interesting to anyone, but this is interesting to me. This is on. This is unk. This is very unc. But, no, funny enough, when I was doing that diving show, I was working.

Do you remember this, Ben? No, no. And then I also want to know, do you stretch for shows? I did this high dive. I did this show. My agent calls me, he's like, hey, would you like to do like a diving with the stars, right? Right. I imagine.

Wait, wait, like, like Olympic diving, like off of a, like a diving room. It was real deal. I love the dream. Okay, okay. I'm saying, you see that. No, but you see the questions you're asking? Yeah. That's what I should have done.

You see, I was just like, how much? Yeah. Yeah, it really was. I was like, how much? And diving with the stars? And I'm like, okay, so I'm imagining like a little diving board at the, at the pool. And we're going to be like spinning and doing funny things. And maybe we'll be in funny costumes and it'll be ha, ha, ha.

So I say yes. And I get to the pool. It's down in Pasadena, this Olympic swimming pool. And there's this 33 foot high dive. That's three-story building. Three-story building. High dive. And I get there.

And, and it's, we've all done reality TV. Okay. They don't want you to see anything. They've got to get your reaction on film. You don't get to see anything. So I'm in my, this robe. I'm talking to everyone. Oh, this is going to be fun.

We're all going to be, you know, synchronized swimming. You know, hey, whatever. And they have the people walk out one at a time. And I walk out and I'm like, oh, that's a, what the hell is that thing? Okay. Well, that's, that probably has nothing to do with us. And I'm like standing there. And then Greg Luganis walks out.

on the high dive and does an armstand somersault right into the thing and then comes out and shakes all over our hands and goes, are you guys ready to go up to the high dive and see what you're going to do? Now, I'm already afraid of heights, dude. Yeah, I'm like afraid to be on a balcony of a hotel, all right? I get sweaty palms. Like airplanes, I'm fine because I'm like, there's a different psychology there, but I'm afraid of heights, dude. And there was just no way I was going to do it. I'm like, there's no way, there's no way.

So they have us walk up just to experience what it's like. to stand up there. And when I, when you see those movies where someone's high and the camera goes like this, that's what it feels like, bro. You look down and just the whole world goes and you're like, how I,

first of all, I can't be this high without something to hold on to. And then you think I'm going to jump head first off of here? That's insane. It's, it's not possible. I mean, there's no way I'm jumping off of this head first.

So, but, you know, I've got, Rory there. I got all these other guys around me there and everyone, you know, hyping people up. Some of the girls are jumping off. And, and I'm like, all right. So peer pressure comes in. I'm like, I've jumped off of a like a cliff before, but not something this high, really.

You know, this was incredibly high. So I jump off, just feet first and kind of get a feel for it. But then I'm like, there's no way I'm going to do this. Okay, long story short, we end up doing all of the practice on the trampolines and the harnesses and learning how to do flips and learning how to do all of this stuff. And then you move it. We go on the small boards, then the 10 meter boards, then the 7, 5, 7, and then we're up at 10. And then once we get to 10, it's just muscle memory.

You basically just, they're like, just do exactly what you did on 5 and 7. Don't change anything. And then you just, you just do it. And your body just does it and you land. And you're like, oh, it worked. It's crazy. Didn't you burst your eardrum? Well, so there was one.

There was one where they were having us progress. That's why they only did one season. They were having us progress way too fast. All of our coaches, dude. These are Olympic diver coaches. They're like, you want our upgrade to celebrity self-mutilation. They're like, how deep will he go this week? Yeah.

They're like, oh, this week, because it would really be like, okay, this week we want them to jump into the water. Oh, next week, yeah, a 301C. And you're like, I don't know if that's the right. numbering divers, don't get me wrong. But that's like, one of the hardest dives in Olympic diving, right? And you're like, oh, I mean,

they're having us, okay, look at this. This is like week three. I'm 33 feet in the air. I'm facing the diving board. Now, the way you do... I have to watch this. Now, the way you do a dive, the way you do a dive, watch this.

Watch this. This is my face. This is my head. With my, all my job, with my accident, all that stuff's in my brain. You know, I'm very sensitive. Like you touch this, it breaks. I'm very sensitive with that because of my car accident. You jump, you can't jump away from the board.

If you jump away from the board, you're going to get a bad dive. You're going to splash. It's going to be horrible. So you have to jump straight up. And the force from when you jump straight up and then do your tuck is what pulls you away from the ledge of the diving board. And then you straighten out and go straight down. That's just physics, big dogs. So you're looking at the diving board and you're like, oh, I'm supposed to jump straight up, tuck,

and then go into my dive and not smack my face on the front of this diving board. Nightmare. That's not, has no spring. It's a, it's a platform. It's just, it's, it's this. It's so good. You're on the curb of a sidewalk and you jump straight up. And they're like, and our coaches were like, no.

No. Like that it's impossible. It's not safe. We're going to have injuries. Dude, first week, a dude, uh, Chewy broke his ankle just getting onto the diving board. He was like climbing on the diving board. slipped and it was like he's out but he would this was Chelsea

Handler's Chewy right I mean he's not built for extreme sports I can't believe they put Chewy in it I can't like they put him in a dive that seems a little hectic

we had Louis Anderson sitting dude he was rad he went all the way to the top and just sat and went backwards and did a whole flip and landed in the pool it was incredible Louis Anderson it was actually really cool because Because behind the scenes, you know, everybody's got, you know, when you're on a movie set,

we're all talking about our shit at home and what, you know, what's going on. And we get to know each other kind of intimately. And you actually did get to see like Louis and other people over, because, and like me, for example, too, with like heights, fear of heights. Like you did get to see, like, if they were, like, battling or, like, just whatever it was, they kind of used this to, like, channel. So you got to see, like, actual, like, victory and overcoming, like, these, like, The wins on the show were happening in practice, and it was like really cool.

Like, you know, we were, we were getting to points where like we're sobbing, we're crying, we can't do this. It's impossible. They're asking too much of us and breaking down and breaking down. And then finally someone gets up and it's like, F it. Like let me just do it. Like they're like, just do what you did in practice. Do what you did on the trampoline.

Come on, do it, do it. And then they get up and do it. And it's like, like those are real like, it was a cool experience, you know. What I love about what I love with Drake and I is like, He'll do a couple like janky reality competition shows. And I'll just do a brand deal for Raytheon. Like I'll like do one for like the Shah of Iran. I'll be like, listen.

I'll be like, I know how many. We'll work it out later. Pay power's out. You know? They're like, it's got to be Bitcoin. Oh, so scary. I can't do that. But anyway, to bring it back, to bring it all back,

what was impressive and really strange to me was these, I was working with, you know, Olympic gold medalist divers, Greg Luganis, these huge people. And their prep for before they dove, you would think would be like, they would be showing me some new type of stretch or like something that divers do or something.

And dude, it was literally like, all right, we're going to get ready. And they'd just like roll their hip, they would like do their neck. Yeah. They would like do their arm. And I'm like, dude, this is stuff that I did in Little League, like, getting ready for baseball. And they're like, yeah.

I mean, these are those, these are the stretches. And, and like, I don't know. There's just something about seeing that and going, oh, yes, it takes, like, a lot of work and dedication and this and that. But you also, like, don't realize it's sort of just repetition and, and, what's the word, consistency? Sure. over like, oh, I had this incredible talent or, oh, I'm stronger, or I'm faster, or I'm this. It's really like, oh, man, you guys are just doing these types of stretches and then, but it's really like the determination, the focus and how, you're, but they're doing it every morning.

They're doing it every day. Right. They're doing it with this. And then they become gold medal. They're loose. That's why you're the leader. They're loose. They're loose.

Yeah, exactly. I once, I once tried trapezing. No way. And I went to the top. and I actually thought that if I went down, my arms would just be floating on the bar and my body would be at the bottom. So I walked that walk a shame all the way back down.

But let me tell you, there is no fear like heights. No. It's terrible. Well, the other thing is too is at the place we were practicing, they had the kids practice. They had like the actual kids who were there for their real divers. But they're like four and five years.

years old and they're like that's when they're like no fear no fear no fear yep are you gonna go and I'm like sorry sorry no go ahead go ahead she gets off she's like bye and she's like does like a flip thing and she's like four years old and I'm like okay I guess I can do this no fear no fear well I will say the listen the only thing's scarier than heights is what my wonderful beautiful three-year-old son shy is going through and that's called a fear of pooping what my boy's shy he's a little anal retentive he might say got a little anxiety and I wanted to share this with you

because I just think it's freaking the cutest thing ever so now when he goes we have him record a height video for his future self to be like now tell your future self like how well this went

how good you feel so he made a video for his future self to tell him he made a video for his future self to be like, you can do it. Come on, let's get it done. Here we go. Hi, shy.

What you do? What you said? I'm going to poop and I feel so much better. You can do it, shy. You will feel so much better. I love it when I'm trying to pouch. I'm proud of you. That's the cutest thing I've ever heard.

in my life. It hasn't helped. And by the way, that is, and that is great parenting, by the way. Did you come up with that concept yourself? Anything good. Anything good is great. No, it was chat chippy-tie. What a great idea.

Anything good is my wife. What a great idea. Page came up with all of it. So good. He's afraid of like, I don't, I mean, I'm a dad, so I want to know. I don't know if this is too much for the podcast, but he's afraid of, like, the way it feels or like the act of it. Like, oh, no, it's going to hurt or something like, like.

From the readings I've done, like, boys tend to have a more challenging time or it clicks a little later. And yeah, I think it's just like the idea of, and it was funny. I've, like, I said to him, I was like, here, shy, pinch yourself and who pinch himself and he'll binge himself on his hand. And I'll go, you know, like, you can control whether that hurts or whether it doesn't. I'm like, that's what pushing's like. I'm like, you can control how much, how uncomfortable it gets. and then you'll be done so quickly. But now I think he just thinks

that the pinching thing is like a pressure point. And it's not helping. So he'll sit on the pot and he'll be like, dad. I'm like, like that's supposed to be the on switch or something. I'm like, you missed it.

Yeah. Not working. Yeah. My son, my son luckily is so, he's like a clean freak. Like he. How old is he?

He's four. And if, I mean, he, I mean, he can be in a full white suit and eating ice cream. And the second a drip, he's like, da, da, da, da. Like, not a drip on, like, he's just like, as soon as his hands get dirty, he needs them washed. Like, he's like a clean freak. So I did the thing where it's like, I'm just going to let him run around without a diaper at home. And then he's going to realize, like, oh, I don't have a diaper. Like, this has to go somewhere.

Yeah, I don't want to be dirty. one time he went uh and then he was like oh okay this is not how this goes this is parenting look at this and he got party train pretty quickly that's great I know what can you do

back to reality TV or wait you had something? No Ben tell us your what will does Claudia kind of does she institute the parental strategies and you kind of always follow her lead. Yes, and I always think so, Drake, my eight-month-old is knock on wood, just like, he's unbelievable. He's so happy. He's been sleeping through the night since two and a half months.

Oh, what a blessing. He's like, no, he really, it's insane. Yeah. He's amazing. And I, my wife will, like, since he's born, I've thought she's doing everything too early. I'm like, you really want to start giving him nightly baths now? He's so little. Why are we doing that? And I eventually learned that she is 100% right every step of the way. And it's, I think her, I think it's the routines that she's put in place that have created this environment where it was just easier for him to sleep train. It was easier for him to nap. It was easier for him to eat. It's also, I was just going to say exactly that. I'm like, well, it's, it's, she's mom and she's going routine. And it's not just getting your baby in the routine. She's getting her routine. You're getting your routine.

you're going, okay, so around this time of night, the lights go lower, the baby's getting ready for bed, okay, this is how the house is going to feel, this is how this is starting. So it's setting you up for, you know, oh, well, when you feel that the time's ready for them to be doing that, you're already in that routine. And that's so important for kids.

Like even if you're in a, you know, like sort of the situation that I'm in with my son with traveling so much and not being the, you know, not being able to be there every day, every morning, every this. but as long as there's structure, routine, okay, this is how it goes and this is what I can expect and it's going to happen and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like that is really important for a child. And that's, I think the motherly instinct is to do that. Yeah. And people from the outside were like, it's like, oh, like you're, you really need to run home. Like, why are you so militant with it? Like, you can't stay for dinner and just like let him fall asleep at the restaurant. Like, no, no. And it was definitely, it was a concerted effort over the first six months to, Six o'clock is we start bath bottle bed. He's asleep by seven and he sleeps till seven.

And what's so great about that is it seven o'clock and what a lot of couples don't realize is that between when your baby's sleeping through the night, between seven o'clock and seven a.m. It's you two. So now you guys get back. Yeah. You want to watch you want to watch Netflix. You want to snuggle. You want to hang out. You want to do your thing as a couple.

It gives you that time. I had a friend of mine who he, his, his wife, he had already had like three or four kids. And then his wife got pregnant and she had four. Quint tuplets. Wait, no, she might have been quintuplets. No, Quinn is five. It might, yeah. Quad tuplets.

Quadruplets. Quadruplets. I think it was quadruplets. It might have been quintuplets. And he had already had three or four kids. So he ended up having like seven kids, but at one, at one time. That's a TLC show. At one time, we had like four babies at the house.

And I asked him, I was like, what in the world is, you know, how do we do? And he just described what you were saying. He's like, my wife is so, like, we just made sure to like make a routine. He goes, Drake, I have, we don't have kids between seven and seven a.m. I just have my, it's just my wife and me. And I'm like, how do, and he's at the gym. He's working out. He's got time to do this.

He's got time to do that. They just had some way of, like, routine. and structure that made it work to where, and then the babies were, had a routine where it was like, they were sleeping through the night. And I'm like, that's wild, man. All of us were like, you have, but.

Okay. This is a fun question. Ben, you have eight kids tomorrow. Where do you move? What's the plan? How does your life change? Okay. Obviously, we move from apartment to house.

We need to be in a house. Where? I think that we are moving to, I think it's Florida. I think like Florida or Westchester, but it gets cold. I don't want eight kids in the house in the cold. It's got to be somewhere that's warm. I'm going to go with,

we're going to go to Florida. Tax purposes. Otherwise, I'd be coming to California. Tax purposes in Florida. We need more money. We've eight children. We've got to keep more. Maybe I'm coming to celebrations. Okay, we're getting a house in celebrations. It's going to be fantastic because I want to be near the theme park so I can

shuttle these kids. They're going straight. They're seeing minions. They're seeing Mickey. They're seeing Donald. They're seeing everybody. Yeah. So that's probably where I'm living. And what am I doing?

We're just going to podcast. I'm going to have to live off the podcast. And then I'm going to have to raise them. I'm going to have to rear these kids. That's, you'd have to move. Yeah. Like, if you could move to a lower cost city and then just like hang out with your kids, like figure out a way to like make a living, but like nothing crazy.

You just, you just have to figure it out. But not even a lower cost city. like that's where taxes really play a role. Like imagine like how could you possibly do that in New York or California? No. Like I really don't know how. But you also wouldn't fit in. Like I don't want to do it in Idaho.

Oh my God. I was thinking Idaho. Utah. Utah. Utah. Utah. I thought Idaho. But then where do you go?

Where do they go? Okay, they're playing in the field. They're eating a bunch of corn. They're hanging out. I'm sure they do other things besides playing fields and eat corn. But that's what they're doing. Okay. They have what their friends.

Join the Latter-D Saints, babe. Yeah. Totally. They're going to end up in a cult. Oh, I'd start a cult. Oh, that's what I'd do. I was going, I was going to, I was, I was bouncing between cult and I, but probably family band.

I mean, if I had eight kids tomorrow, I mean, obviously I would instrument in each one's hand. That's, that's an opportunity for, I mean, quite a large band. Yeah. The whole horn section. That's, I mean, you've got horn sections, you've got background vocalists. And under my militant thumb. And now wait, are we, are we, what's the financial situation? Is it exactly as I stand now or do we get some, like what's the hypothetical here?

It's as it stands now, but how you use them kids. Yeah, okay. So if it's, if it's now, then it would probably be more like Partridge family bus. Like maybe like get like an old school bus, paint it really cool. Definitely like internet family vlogs, how we're building the family. Like us like playing in the living room. and like, wow, they all play instruments. And maybe we have, like, the one daughter that, like, is kind of the outcast.

Like, she didn't really, like, learn an instrument, but she dances really cute and, like, does, like, funny, like, like, where's, like, funny costumes and stuff. It's just straight behind the camera. Yeah. Well, I'm in the band, too. I'm in the band. I could, you know, I'll, it's that B-roll. You know, I keep the-he's yelling at them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What was that Frankie? What was the woman who went to jail? What was her name? The woman who went to jail? There was a, yeah, there was a family vlog Oh, oh, oh, oh, the one I just watched it. I can't remember her name. Something Frankie was her name.

I know exactly. Frankl. Bethany Frankl? No, no. Don't start that rumor. No, but I know exactly who you're talking about. Ruby is Frank. I just watched that documentary.

It's so sad. It's a very sad documentary. It's so heartbreaking. It's, I was the Olivia? Ruby Frankie. Is that her name? Yes. Yes, Ruby Frankie.

She was like an internet mom. She, like, put her kids on camera. But behind the scene she was literally starving them to death. Like they didn't eat. And it just like was a nightmare. No. No, I'm totally joking. I mean,

I probably same thing as you. I mean, I would try and figure out like I grew up going to the park. So like I, you know, living somewhere where like my kids don't have access to like Disneyland or Disney World is like. Weird. Like unthinkable to me.

You know, that was like my mall after school. We went to the parks, you know? So probably like the same thing. I mean, I really like, uh,

not a. crazy fan of Florida, but if I can be close to parks, then. Where are you going, Josh? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to Idaho, babe. I'm starting a new life. Unless I get a TLC show, you know, like Josh plus eight. My thousand pound eight years or whatever. Yeah, yeah.

What is it? Or no, the eight of us all add up to a thousand pounds. That's what I'm saying? The collective weight. What is it? Yeah, that would be hysterical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe they're all, all my children are overweight and I start like a sleep

camp like camp shane in new york right with my kids and i'm like ralph like ralph that is like the head of water sports we run the camp why do you have to give them fat names i'm sending him there there all my kids are going there brie's going there is ruby a fat name they're going he's going there he has a son named ruby oh man yeah they're all going there. Ruben is Slim. Ruby is, yeah, he's Oscar. You're saying your own son to Husker? No, he will be. He's perfect.

He's perfect. He's perfect. You know what? And I think I brought that up on the podcast. I went to go see my cardiologist the other day because Yolo. And I read my notes. I was reading my notes. And it said, well-nourished, 39-year-old. I'm like, well-nourished.

Yeah. Is that that? What does that mean? Oh, wait. Is that what that means? That's what he called me, well nourished. When did he call you that now? You could, your fit is a fiddle.

Your fit is a fiddle. Is well nourished just like exactly those words? He's nourished well. I think that for you it meant he's nourished well, but I also can recall a time where I've gone in at like 280 pounds and they've said well nourished. And I think it meant something different then. I think it said something different than. This episode of The Good Guys podcast is brought to you by my boys at Nutraful.

Yeah, they are. They are. I mean, they would write that in my chart as they heard my steps around the corner. Yeah. They'd be like, capital O. Heard the floor.

Yeah. Should I? Are you? Should you have a card? Should I have a cardiac? Am I not doing the right stuff? Okay. I don't think you need physical?

Oh, you neglect. Every once in a while. It's like the shell. You're neglect. No. I just don't know. You don't go for a physical tree? I mean, I probably, like, yeah, I think I had one recently, like six, like a year ago.

You go, okay. And the year before that? I don't go every year, by the way. I don't go every year, by the way. You know what usually happens? You don't go every year? No. and I can just take supplements.

We get the physicals for like jobs and stuff. This is not a real physical. The physical is to insure us on jobs is just to make sure we don't actually have a heroin needle in our arm when we get there. Yeah, yeah, we could sign off. He's insurable. I try to go.

Those aren't real? I can't use those as my checkups. Olivia, are you going for a yearly physical? I am going for a yearly physical. I do that. Yes. That's true. Yeah, I got it.

I need to make sure my pH is right. Yeah. Sorry. I don't know what that means. You know, I like to go in. I like to. Oh, my God. I have a wonderful time with my doctor.

And the physical is good because they have to give you 30 minutes so we can really chat. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I think I like going to the doctor because the first 10 years of my life was such a bad experience at the doctor. Because they would come in and they'd be like, you're in a lot of trouble. And now it's like a celebration. They're like, your numbers are normal. I think having kids makes you focus more on like, oh, wait, should I be getting physical?

Should I be getting checking on myself? Should I be making sure that I'm like going to make it? And like, you know, it's a little bit more like. Survive. Yeah. And yeah. Yeah, I think you start thinking about that a little bit more when you have the kids. You're like, oh, man, I need to like make sure I'm good to go.

At least blood drawn. Blood drawn once a year is very important. It doesn't like sometimes the, when you say physical, like I don't need them to take my height and weight and like a, like a, but. Take my blood. Look at my blood. Read my blood. That I definitely need. And also, I'll go to the dermatologist once here and make sure there isn't a new lump. Okay. Like, that's important. I think that's maybe more important than the physical. People don't go to dermatologists the way that they should. And I'm just saying, I've had things that the dermatologist that I thought were just normal that he's like, I'm getting. That's got to come. That's got to go. And it's just like a little like skin tag. You think it's like a skin tag or something? Yeah. I've had that before. Something worse. It's no good. They're like, yeah, that could turn into something. We're alive.

Yeah. Anything, Olivia, Ben, while you have Drake and I together, it's just so rare. Anything we didn't cover in our first paramount groundbreaking interview? Any, any Drake and Josh mythology that has still gone unanswered for the masses? Anything you want to know? I think we went really, first of all, what an incredible two-parter last time. but what a joy it has been to be able to laugh during this episode. Let me just just say that.

And I've had a lot of fun in this one. The last one was super important. I like this one. I like this one a lot because it's so fun. I travel a lot. We're laughing. You know what? Seriously, though, I don't have very many friends that have kids.

Like, I don't, like, all my friends like are, you know, like Rovi and Man. Like, they don't have kids. They don't get it. So it's cool to like hang in a room with like two other dads and be like, oh, wait, what's going on with your wife? And oh, wait, how are you doing the things? thing with it like it's i i really like that that's us that's all we talk about it's just all we do yeah so true it's it's hard to to to try and explain stuff to people who don't have kids

you're just like wait what like no you don't like it's it's really it's really interesting to especially you know working and touring and all this and trying to explain like no well i need time for this and i have to do this like huh like like it doesn't really compute sure yeah and it's also, I, you know, with Jimmy Carr has this great joke. I love him. And he was like, having kids was just going to a higher stakes table at the casino. And there's plenty of people who love the slots because they're like exciting and loud and flashy.

But like, you have a very low chance of winning. Now, Blackjack, Baccarat, you could lose your shirt, but you could also win big. That's having kids. It's just a high. your stakes table. And, you know, sometimes, like, I can look at a friend and be like, aren't the slots great? And he'd be like, so good.

But most of the time, I'm like, you're not playing it for real. Yep. Like, you're not playing on the hard table, you know. Yeah. I mean, and I only say that because Drake has become a degenerate gambler. Sorry, I don't mean to air out your baby. Listen, I love Vakara. I love Vakarot.

If there's a casino within 40 miles, 50 miles, I'll, yeah. Yeah. I like, but I never lose my shirt. I always gamble responsibly. I never take more money than I want to, than I have fun to lose. I literally treat it like admission to an amusement park. I'm like,

because I love amusement parks. And I spend to get, to go to amusement parks. I buy the yearly passes. And so, you know, so I go, okay, look, if I lose, that's how much it costs me to get into Disneyland and,

because I still have fun. Whether I win or lose, it's still the rush of it, the excitement, the fun with their friends and with the dealers and whoever you're meeting people, the tables and it's fun. Were you one of those people on polymarket betting that we invaded Venezuela?

No, no. I don't do any online. I got a little intel. He had a little inside information. Oh, totally. By the way, if you see anything, you let us know. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. You see anything on the ground?

But I, uh, but yeah, no, I do love, do you, have you ever played Baccarat? No. Oh, it's so fun. It's so fun. It's so fun. It's such an easy game and it's something that, I don't know. I've always seen it in like James Bond. And like, oh, do I want to play Blackjack or Bachar, Bacharach?

Yeah. Like, oh, that's going to be hard. I don't understand the rules. And everyone that's playing that is like, they're all like, you know, foreigners. And like, it's going to be something I don't understand. And it's a flip of a coin. And it's 50. Now that you're in.

You need to go to like some of those like sick casinos. And where? Now that you're in. Like I'm just like thinking like a James Bond. Oh, well. Like Monte Carlo. Well, I live, I would, yes, I would love to do that. I do live, it's cool being, you know, when I'm in Mexico a lot, they, uh, that you can

gamble there. So they have casinos. So I can just like go down the street. There's a casino at the mall, you know? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You imagine that. Get a little chicken terriaki bowl. Yeah. Hit up, you know. All of a sudden my chicken terriarchy cost me five grand. Yeah. Go lose your, your kid's scholarship money. But yeah, no, I don't, I don't advocate like anybody going gamble or anything, but it's, it is.

It's fun. You know, and I don't play with like, I literally like, Oh, I won 500 bucks. Woo. By the same to play. Yeah. I wish. Yeah, no, we love, we love gambling.

Polymarket is actually new, I think they're a new sponsor or they're coming on. Did you see at the Golden Globes they had literally polymarket predictions? You could bet on who won best actor. Oh, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. Isn't that crazy the way that they are gamifying? It's crazy.

Yeah. But I have to assume. Vegas has always been doing that. Vegas is always. Oh, wow. I didn't know that. Oh, you didn't know that? Oh, so you could bet on best actor in Vegas?

You bet on who's going to win the presidency. You bet on best actor. Really? You bet on, I mean, I mean, the sports is, you know, obviously. I had no idea. But no, it gets, there's things that are like, you can bet on, oh, do you think, oh, like, for example, after the cold play situation, people were betting on whether or not the CEO was going to resign or be fired.

I didn't know that you could do that traditionally in Vegas. Oh, yeah. I thought this was like a new wave of just like game of fire. It's probably just moving to the internet. It's probably just moving to mobile. But in Vegas, you could literally bet like, oh, the CEO after the cold play situation, I've got money on he's going to resign before he's fired.

No, no, no, he's going to be fired before he's resigned. And there's payouts. Has anyone imploded their family at one of your concerts? No, no. Thankfully, no. Strange things have happened, but thankfully not that. People tried to blame Chris Martin for that. Yeah.

That's 100% not his fault. No. No. It's not. It's their fault. I mean, all that you had to do is keep making out and nobody ever knows a thing. The fact that you just like acted like something was wrong and ducked. It was their fault.

They just should have like, they could have done anything and it wouldn't have gone viral. Like their family never would have seen it. But that's their fault for being cheaters. I do have a quick question when you're asking about, you know, if there was anything else that we didn't cover maybe last time. And I know you guys talked about like how. you would do, I believe it was a story about like going bowling and having a sleepover when you were in like middle school, like 12, 13,

something like that. But I was just wondering if there was ever a time where you two like got in trouble together or gotten to any like hoodwink shenanigans. If there's anything that comes to mind for you to or just like your friendship at the time like what that was like. You can't speak on. Anything that you feel comfortable actually say?

I, I, uh, here's a problem. A few things come to mind. Like when people will ask me about my partying days and they'll like want some like real, they'll want to know anything I had done in the past. And I always am vague about that because that's the headline.

Right? Like more so than any part of the story, it's just like Josh Peck did X once. Not X, not like X's not like. Sorry. Daily Mail, I will fucking come for you, man. New York Post did not fix it out of Olivia Pitchin

Olivia Pitchie XYZ Josh Pek did blank this you know one time so it's a little bit hard to I don't know

anything stick out for you I guess also when I say hoodwink shenanigans I'm thinking like when you were like kids like younger like just like a you know

something Did you ever rob a car Do you ever rob a person Do you ever steal a car Was there any grand theft auto? Or pranking anybody like anything but in that kind of vein.

I do remember once that we were, you know, Drake's dad was sort of like the tour bus driver for your mini kid band when you were a kid. And for me, you know, I had like a single mom. She was pretty uptight, understandably. And so like a lot of times, Drake and his dad would be like,

I know what we're going. Come with us to like Drake's going to be performing somewhere in Orange County. And like my dad is, you know, he didn't. mind if I stayed up late. He didn't mind if I watched Quentin Tarantyton. Well, he wasn't into that.

But like, you know, my point is like he was a liberal dad. He didn't really, you know, so, hey, you need to be home by this certain time. Wasn't really like. Sure. Well, we were at one of Drake's concerts and I'm sure at a house of blues or something like this. And, you know, it became nine o'clock, 10 o'clock at night. And we're in Orange County, by the way. I think we were at like the galaxy or something.

Yeah. And so we're already like an hour away from Josh's house, you know? Yeah. I think Joe got me home like just shy of 3 a.m. And I will never forget this, right? We pull up to my house and I see my mom looking over our, like, looking over our terrace like this. and God bless Drake's dad

Joe literally goes Good luck Josh And I go You gotta go up there with me And Joe goes I'm not going I'm not going I was like

Joe you're the grownup You have to explain what happened He goes No no better you go And yeah That was fun Yeah That's so good

So yeah I do remember You know Just just stuff like that And I I can't remember specific situations, but I do know that there's probably a few set teachers that have some stories because I was always trying to get out. I mean, school to us was like, I don't know.

I mean, at least for me, it's like just this annoying thing getting in the way of like doing the fun stuff that we do. Like I want to be on set with Josh and I want to be like rehearsing and I want to be, oh, I got to go to school. So we were always trying to get out of doing our work or, or, or, you know, get around it or procrastinate or do whatever. So I'm sure that the teachers have like some stories of us being nightmares. Okay, one more story.

I'm probably going to cut this out. One time we were like 19 years old, the show was pretty much just about ending. And we said, we should go to Las Vegas. No, no. I'm not telling this whole story. I'm telling one part. No. One part.

All I remember is this is that we were acting like cliches. We'd have a couple pops. And we decided, or I decided, because I'm not a smart boy, I said, we should go see Circus Soleil. Oh, yeah. So we go see Cirque du Soleil, but again, as I said, had a couple pops. So about halfway through, I started going, this isn't funny. Oh, no, dude, let me tell you. Wow, I remember this like it's yesterday now.

I forgot about this. There was this character in the show that was like the comic relief. like it's all this amazing acrobatics and then there's this recurring character that is the comic relief and I'm telling you Josh is not having it I mean he's like this isn't funny

what is he doing is it there's not even getting laughs do you hear the audience Drake not even getting laughs I mean and everyone is sinking into their seat and I'm looking at like Tammy from you know Tampa and I'm like Tammy this is not funny

right not going. It was horrible. Oh my God. Oh my God. I totally forgot about that. And I remember it was this little clown guy and he kept doing this thing and he was so upset. He was so offended at somebody trying to pass this off as comedy.

And for the $300 tickets that we spent and this is what we're getting. He was so over it. It's so bad. You know, we're pretty nuts. We go see Cirque du Soleil drunk and do diving shows. Yeah. We're Hollywood bad boys.

It's pretty good. Do you remember breaking down on the way to Vegas? Oh, yeah, and we almost died in the middle of the desert. We were driving to Vegas on our way to Vegas, and we're like, dip-to-doop. And you know that point when you see Vegas and you're like, yes, we're there, but you still got like 45 minutes to go? We broke down right there. and there's no exits to go to like, oh, a tow truck will just come pick you up. So we basically waited until the sun came up because they had to go all the way down and then

come pick us up. And our car was broken down and they had to come pick us up and take us to a mechanics. So we sat on the side of the road for that was where we started our Vegas trip, was on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck to finally get us there. And then we rolled into Vegas at 8 o'clock in the morning. Yeah. That was a, that should have, yeah, that was crazy. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by my boys at Good Wipes.

Go to speakpipe.com slash good guys. Keep a brief. Brevity is key. Hey, let's hear from Anonymous.

So what are these? These are moron mail. This is like people call in. They ask us for advice or they tell a bad story. Oh, cool. I'm sure Josh picked a good one, though. All right, sweet. Yeah, yeah.

This one should be really cute, and I'm really good at this. Let's hear from Anonymous. Hi, Josh and Ben. My sister is very... To give you some context while keeping it brief, he currently has a problem with anxiety that he's been struggling with for years. I don't think he's handling it in the most appropriate way.

There's some X and drinking involved. Not a lot of therapy. Not a lot of leaving the house. So any advice on that piece because she's not very confrontational, and won't bring up that that's not the best way to handle things. Along with that, he's just extremely lazy, has no drive. She does absolutely everything around the house.

He was let go over the summer due to his lack of effort and drive and performance at work. Even during that time, he did nothing around the house, doesn't help with anything. And I just don't think my sister deserves that. I think she deserves somebody who can, you know, take care of her or at least give half of the effort that she's giving. But I don't think she's brave enough to confront the fact. that this is definitely not the right choice. Was she on the can? Was that what I was hearing in the background?

Was she just like, blushing? Okay. Or peeing? Okay. It's unfortunate to watch people that you love, date somebody that you don't think is right for them. I hate when we get speak pipes like this, Josh, because we don't have any context from the actual person. So it's so hard to judge.

Like, he sounds terrible. The way that you described him, he sounds absolutely like your sister should not be marrying him. That said, I don't. know what's going on behind closed doors that your sister's still with him. Well, that, that, that's what exactly what I was going to say is, well, I would like to hear from the sister. Like, why? Why are you with the guy like this?

Or, or not, I mean, look, you can be with somebody and, and say, hey, you know what? I, I love this guy and maybe people see him as a couch potato, but look, I've got, I've got my own job. I got my own shit. I do my own stuff. And I like to come home and be with my couch potato boyfriend. and I don't need anything from him and that's cool. Like, I can get that.

So I would want to know, like, well, what's the motivation to move that to marriage? You know, like, is there something, like, is, you know, are you, is he pressuring you into, like, hey, we should get married so we can put our stuff together? Or is this something that you're wanting to do? You know, what's the motivation to move this relationship from just like what it is now to marriage, you know, and then is that, like, what's, you know, I think that's also. That choice from the sister, basically. It's also a softer way to broach the subject.

Like not saying, like, I don't think this guy is right for you. It's more so, okay, I don't see what you see, but clearly you're happy, but I don't understand how your life improves by marrying this person. Stay with them, but just, like, explain to me what I'm not seeing. Yeah, you don't have to shit all over the boyfriend other than just asking the sister, like, oh, okay, like, what, why? Are you wanting to, like, yeah, is there kids? Do you want a family?

Like, what's the motivation? And then maybe, and then that's the thing, too, is like... But do you think when people are with people that aren't great, they're easily triggered when you question their logic, their motives? Like, Olivia, have you ever had from speaking from the female perspective on this? Yeah, actually, unfortunately, an instance like that just happened and the relationship ended. Fortunately, after like four years, we were so scared that she was going to stay with this. guy and he's such a loser and she's so amazing. But I tried for years to like say it gently and

she didn't really take my advice on it. And it was to the point where I'm like, I love my friend. And I want her to be happy even if I think this guy sucks and she's like a million times better than him. Like if that's who she's happy with, I'll let her ride with it. And then when shit hits the fan, I'm here when you need it. And any time there was an inkling, I'm like, tell me about it. and let's talk through it and see if we can get you, you know, a little more confidence to maybe, you know, pull the plug on this one. But yeah, I think like it really depends on the caliber of your friendship and, you know, just being there for the person, even if you know better perhaps.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I had a buddy who was dating a girl who we just were not a fan of, but he was all about it. He was just with her. And then we even found out through a friend of ours. who worked at her job that she was cheating on our friend, like had made out with another guy at their work.

But our buddy was so, first of all, our buddy knew we didn't love her. And so we were like, even if we tell him, because we didn't have proof of the cheating, we had just heard from a reliable source, we're like, he's not going to hear it because he's like, I know you guys don't like her, you're trying to find the worst things. And so we're like, we just have to wait it out.

And then one day I was like, how's everything going? And he went, ah. And I was like, do I have a story for you? It was like, sometimes you just have to find that in.

And I remember we were sitting at a restaurant when I told him and we had just ordered all this food. And then I told him and he's like, I think I'm going to be sick. And I'm like, we just ordered. I've never understood that, by the way.

I've never understood that. Have you ever, ever, ever been so shocked or sad that you couldn't eat? Never. I'm the opposite. I'm not opposite. Thank God all this food's here. Now I'll eat all of it. Yeah, what's the best food to get broken up to? Pat tie. Tie. Yeah, pad tie. Just give me a pad tie, a pad see you, three extra peanut sauces. I'll drink one of them. I'll pour two of them on it. And then I'll think about killing myself, but then I won't. I won't do it. I won't, but I'll think about it. I'll think about it. Oh, my God. By the way, do you think this guy is a huge dick? Like maybe, I was just thinking in the back of my head. Like, maybe that's why I think. Going back, The sister doesn't know that drink? Was there anything in the message?

I don't remember of her saying like, like he treats her terribly. He's horrible to her. No. Or is it just like he's a loser couch potato? Like, I mean, I don't know. Lose or low motivated couch potato. That's why I need to hear from,

that's why I need to hear from the girl, I need to hear from the sister. Me too. I've heard a lot of friends who are like, I mean, I've had friends who are, yeah, my, my husband is my rock.

My husband is my this. My husband is my that. but I'm the breadwinner and I work and he stays at home and and we have kids and he takes care of the kids and and that's I went into the situation knowing that and that's what I planned on. That's what I like to do. And so, but there's plenty of people who look at their situation and go, oh, the husband's a loser and a

deadbeat and of this and of that. Well, why? Because he stays at home. So you got to kind of get more context. Yeah. Should we get to one of your nuts? We should. Drake.

You remember the segment? I do. Okay. What are you nuts moment of the week, gripes? I don't have any about all things. Take your job. You have. We'll go first.

You have people, places and things, both big and tall, as Josh says, whatever's sticking in your crawl. I'll go first. I went to the Barnum and Bailey circus this weekend, boys. As you know, Ava Ben's mother loves the circus. Am I right? Yes, big fan of the circus. And we went 10 of us to the circus.

Okay, Josh. What I didn't know, Barnum and Bailey, this was the great circus. If you guys haven't, I'm sure you've been. But they used to be, they used to have lions and tigers and elephants. This was the circus, okay? We can't do that anymore. People were protecting the animals. But apparently, I didn't know, Barnum Bailey went out of business.

Somebody bought them out of bankruptcy. They have the name and they're touring it, okay? I go to what I think is the Barnman Bailey circus. This is the best show on earth. I get there. Let me tell you, not a circus song, not a clown. They have a DJ. They don't even have, okay, no animals, fine.

They celebrate. They have a robotic dog. robotic. And you see the guy, like the guy he's controlling the dog with his remote. And he's like,

ooh, isn't this cool kids? I can make the dog move around. It's like, what are you fucking nuts? Okay? What are you nuts? This is the worst show on earth.

This is complete drek. Like I, I was sick. Acrobatts, trapeas. One trapeze. That was a one trapeas. Motorcyclists.

No. No. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Nope. No. Trapease. Yes. And let me tell you, this was at, formerly the No clowns arena. No clowns zero.

Not even a, dun dun dunna, no. They played top 40. There was Taylor Swift and a light show, but not, dun dun dun,

nothing. Zip. Wow. Awful. Okay. Awful. What are you nuts? So just totally,

like the classic, like getting your popcorn and peanuts and hearing the circus music and the clowns on the unicycles and all that is gone. Popcorn and peanuts.

They sold Papa Johns. Oh, my God. It was awful. That's actually, that's tragic. With the garlic dip, Olivia. And they got the stuffed crust. Olivia, it's so good. The pizza was delicious.

It just doesn't belong at the circus. It doesn't belong in the circus, but it was delicious. This kid Tramana, right. This kid's the Orange County. Humble roots. My, my Woody and Nuts is the other day, I saw a cyber truck driving by, and it had a bumper sticker, eco-friendly, not Elon-friendly. Oh, my God.

First of all, let me see this. And I'm no big fan of Elon. If you have like a little Model 3, a little Model Y, I understand that bumper sticker. Okay, whatever, do your thing even though it's kind of silly. You're in a cyber truck. You're a douchebag. You love Elon. What are you talking about?

Love, love. The cyber truck is like a rolling, phallic Elon super meat. Yeah, like, you're all Elon all the time. Like, what, you just don't want anyone to mess with your cyber truck? What are you nuts? Nuts. Nuts. Yuck.

So, no, that's definitely, that's definitely showing that you love Elon. Like, like, yeah, you love them. Come on. I don't, I don't, I don't really have any, what are you nuts? I don't know. You guys, you're not having loyalty. Did you lose here, anything? You know what, I mean, having happened on your flights?

The only big, oh, man, a what do you nuts on an airplane? all of them. It's the whole process is nuts. Okay, okay. I got a wadia nuts. Okay. So I was leaving Mexico and I often go there to when I'm not working to because I visit my girlfriend. And so I was there and I just, it's very normal to just come and go and, you know, sometimes they'll ask you like, oh, why were you here?

I was like, oh, visiting my girlfriend, you know, and they're like, oh, okay, cool, whatever. Well, I'm going to get on the airplane and I, I, I, sometimes I wait until the beach. be the very last person on the plane. So I can just go to my seat, sit down, you know? Well, I was using the restroom, and I'm like, uh-oh, I got to get to the plane. So I'm walking there, and I'm the last one to walk on, and they stop me. And they're like, what are you, what were you in Mexico for? And I'm like, oh, I was here to visit my girlfriend.

And they're like, can you, where's she from? Where does she live? Where do you, this, ask me all this stuff. They're like, can you, and they actually had me pull out my phone and go through and show them pictures of our relationship. Like us sit on vac, like, I'm like, yeah, this is us this week and this is where we went

and here's us at this museum and here's us at this, in the park, and here's us this, and they were literally like questioning me on the validity of my relationship to go, but it was like the, it was just so strange. It was like the TSA at the airport in Mexico and

you know, normal question, what are you here to visit your girlfriend, blah, blah, blah. They were like, okay, well, do you have like photos? Do you have this? And they're like, and I'm going through this, like, show it. I'm like, what are you nuts? I'm like, I do this all the time. I do this. I come and go all the time.

And now I'm like, I'm like, well, wait, hang on. Like, what pictures can I? I'm like, okay, well, thank you. And thankfully, we just, the night before we were walking down by the museum. And this guy, this photographer came up and was like, oh, can I shoot some pictures of you? This looks so cool. And then he sent them to me. I was like, look, right here.

Here's us in front of the museum. But they looked like totally stayed. Like we did it for this exact purpose. Because they weren't like on my phone. They'd been like air dropped to my phone. So I'm like, yeah, look, here they are. And they're like professional photos of us like in front of Sumaya museum. Like literally like I would hand to immigration.

Like look, our relationship is real. Look at these glossy photographs of us in front of this landmark and this landmark, this vacation spot. But no, I was that was a little waddy and nuts because I, That's just such an everyday travel experience for me that to all of a sudden be like, what? I have to prove that I'm with the, it was just, that was a little strange. They thought you were a narco terrorist.

Drake's music. That's what you should be listening to. Folks, this episode is five stars. Otherwise, what are you nuts? Josh, because of what Mr. B said, we have to truncate the, the outro. I don't know what to say. I think it's going to be, this episode is five stars. Is that one of a, a suggestion from B.
