The following podcast is a dear media production. Monster morons, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. Josh, I went to the Knicks game last night, okay? Wow. Playoffs, game two. Game two, playoffs. And let me tell you, I don't think I've ever been to a more disappointing sporting event. Like, I'm just sitting there.

We're all having a great time. It was 97% just great vibes. And then everybody were like, oh, we won. Like, it's over. And then out of nowhere, Mike Brown puts in just a terrible lineup. It just stays in way too long. All of a sudden, we see our lead go like this, 13 to negative one. We lose by one.

It happened so fast that the garden was just in disarray. We're like, what the fuck just happened? And yeah, so I laughed. It was sad. I got home so late. 8 p.m. start. It felt like it was the middle of the night. That's crazy.

I got home at 11.30. And Ruby's been teething. And let me tell you, I slept just terribly. So if at any point during this episode, I seem a little crappy, I apologize. It's the Nix.

It's the lack of sleep. It's seeing your beautiful face makes me feel like I should be smiling. To choose both. big and tall, no subject, too small for the good guys. A mother's dream, premium podcast team, make it your weekly routine. It's a good guys. And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts?

What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys. We're just a good guy. You know what? Lately I've been looking at myself going, you're a nice looking kid. Okay. I'm feeling good. I don't know why I'm using retinal on the face.

Yeah. I'm using good products, the keels, the things, right? And I, are you doing something different to your hair? Just it's long as day, man. This wife of mine, she has a lot of thoughts on my look and I'm trying it. I feel like one of the three musketeers. I think it's good. I think it's good.

It almost looks a little bit, a little bit wetter than normal. And that's a look, Josh. That's a look. You know, people would pay for that look. Yes. Slightly damp hair. For me, slightly damp hair just accentuates my egg. So I go dry as can be. I can't go slightly damp. You have a very, very nicely shaped head. You could go slightly damp. God bless you. I, so you blow, do you judge a man who blow dries? I do. I do. I just don't know how you're a man who blow drys. So yeah, I do. I don't get it. I can't like, you get out of the shower and you have a routine.

You shake your hair. You do one of these. Maybe you brush the blow dryer. This is too much. This is simply too much. So, yes, I do judge a guy who blow drys. I've told you this, but at the wonderful Equinox, really my home base, my, my office, I incur a man and Equinox is out of their control.

But he blow dries his undercarriage. So he stands in the locker room like this, okay? Like this. You ready? Yeah. Leg up. Yeah. Getting the entire nether region and it affects me.

It stays with me. That would make me very uncomfortable. What I will say is we have not solved that problem yet. That's a problem. He's taken it into his own hands to solve it in a way. that makes everybody around him uncomfortable. Right. Okay?

So I'm not justifying what he's doing. That said, we have not solved that problem where you just, yeah, you're going to towel dry. You're going to do your best. Sometimes you leave a little moist. And that leads to chafing. And the second you're chafing, you're done. You're done. So I don't know.

I judge him for it. But I think as a society of inventors, we need to do better for him. I can't think of anything that would help to dry the undercarriage region. I'm not Elon Musk, but I just don't want to see it. It's amazing to me. I'm on the Japan side of TikTok. The truth is, in America, we just can't have nice things. We as a people, we're a wonderful people.

I'm not one of these libs who shit talks America. I love this country, despite all the things that we could be doing. better and we could be doing better with a lot. Nevertheless, patriotic. Shout out James Madison and his other fellas. Yes. But, you know, we just, we can't have nice things. The New York subway is never going to be good because of the people who ride it.

And I ride it and you ride it. We just, we can't be clean. We can't be respectful. It's not in our, it's not in our coding. And when you see the things I watch in Japan, how well, how behave these people are. This is a beautiful, conforming society.

Adigato. Of respect. Of respect. We don't have respect. We have no respect. It's a joke. We don't have any respect. And you know the one documentary I've ever watched in my life.

I'm just going to talk about it nonstop, this New York documentary. New York City was a test, Josh. Okay? It was a test. How big of a melting pot? How many people can we shove into one city? And it was a, it was a success.

But it went from 100,000 people to 500,000 people to 5,000 people to 5 million people going higher and higher. It just, there are so many people in this city, so many people that are so different from one another that I think it's just become impossible to respect anyone. I have the utmost respect for my city and my people. I do my absolute best. But even me, you know, I'm eating on the street. I accidentally drop somebody on the floor.

Sometimes I don't pick it up. I'm not a malicious person. I'm not. Sometimes, though, I'm eating my pita. A pickle falls out. I should have picked it up. I didn't. I thought about it.

I'm upset about it. Another example, Josh. Failure to act. I pick up my dog's poop 99 times out of 100. But one time I ran out of the bag. You run out of the bags. So you leave it. You do the fake phone call. You walk away. You leave it. But I think to myself every day, even the people who are respectful, who do care, accidents happen. But when you have millions and millions and millions and millions of people all making accidents, this city is going to turn into shit. And then what you're talking about is intentional and disrespect. I digress. But my God, Josh, are you right? It's enough. The city is a problem.

It's not your city. It's the whole country. And it's in the favor of the people. It's not just the melting pot aspect. It's a gift that people are given the moment they get here and move to America, whether they've been here for millions of generations or they're just newly here. Something goes into your coding where you go, I'm going to act up. I'm going to act. This shit, this American dream guy.

me acting up. I was at the gym and I'm in, you know, I have big problems in steam room. So there's been a new rule enacted. No street wear, no phones in the steam and sauna. Why? Because it's gross. Yeah. Because you shouldn't wear the shoes that you were out on the street with in a sauna

where people are needing better hygiene. 100%. This is a new law, new rule. sign on the door. Guy comes in, tank top, basketball shorts, flip flops,

and knee high socks, okay? And the attendant goes... Into the steam room? Knee high socks and the steam room? I don't know what.

He's going to get athletes foot. Do you understand what's going on in between his toes? It's disgusting. It's disgusting. I don't know.

That's disgusting. And the attendant goes, hey man, it says in the door, there's no street wearing here. He's like, he's like, I'm wearing flip-flops. It's for, it's for water activity. And we all look at them. And he goes, listen, people are going to complain, just letting you know. Tendant leaves. And he goes, can you believe that? Can you believe that? We all look at him and we go, yeah, we can. It's a good rule. It's great rule. And what do he say? Again, their only recourse is, you're not my father.

I'm like, when people, when a grown man goes to you're not my father, I go, how broken can one be? He said you're not my father? It's in that energy. This has happened to me in the sauna before where we've asked someone to take off their street sneakers and then be like, you're not my father. And I'm like, clearly not, but there is a very clear signs. People do not want to conform.

I don't know. Are they embarrassed? Are they embarrassed that they were told to correct themselves? You can't wear shoes in a steam room. You're going to ruin your shoes. You can't wear socks in a steam room. Some people want to go in and warm up. They think like they're going to go in and stretch and get warm for the gym.

So go to the sauna. No. I don't condone that. You can't wear a shirt clothes. I agree. I do not condone it. But it's significantly more insane to wear it in. the steam room.

You're going to be, you're going to be soaking wet. Like you're soaked. But yes, no street clothes anywhere. The second you walk into that locker room, you should be ass fucking naked. Okay.

And then, and then put on a towel if you're uncomfortable. But real fucking men, of which I'm not, are ass fucking naked in that place. Okay? They are naked. Because Josh,

we should have no street clothes, No socks, no underwear, no shoes, no nothing. Honestly, good etiquette. You take a shower before you go into the song. 100%. You're sitting amongst your peers. And then you're going to say to me, but Ben, I'm going to sweat. Yeah, you shower fucking after too.

Have some etiquette. Respect for people, places, and things. We're going to start a segment of this podcast called Tales from the Steam Room because it's going to be gay erotica. Because I'm telling you, I know that I bring it up all the time. I have another big issue. Maybe you can tell me how to navigate this. Please. There's a creep.

There's a creep. Who, who he's a regular. I take back what I just said. You can't be naked in a steam room amongst a creep. You can. Look, you can, I don't mind that. What I have a problem with is he wears a towel around his waist. And when he gets in, he stares at you in the eyes.

And he flashes you. He opens it. And he's clearly a little worked up. I'm serious. I'm sitting there, right? And he goes, he comes in, he goes, I'm telling you. And for our audio listeners, I'm bug-eyed. And I've got my, you know, crumb swinging in the wind.

And I, it's happened so many times me and my other friends, Muhammad, my regulars, my gym buddies. We talk about this. So what's the approach? Because I don't want to go tattle. I want to tell this guy man to man, you're making us uncomfortable. Don't do that. I would never. I would never.

I would never. I would. Why not? That doesn't get you all excited to have a confrontation? No, you know me. I'm Mr. Anti-Confrontation. Like,

I am defused the situation as quickly as possible. And in that situation, I don't know what I would do. What would you say if you had to say something? Maybe I'd like approach it like a Mexican standoff. he does it, then I would get up and I would do it. Maybe you do it fucking back to him. You're confirming.

You're telling him I want it. Or you're telling him, I own you. Okay? Like, you think you're intimidating me by flashing your nutsack. I'm going to intimidate you by flashing my nutsack. Got it. And then if that doesn't work, you switch gyms. Yeah, it's like a game of homoerotic chicken.

Yes. Yes. Who's going to bite first, Josh? Bac, bach. Who's going to bite first? Bacquah! That's good. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends.

There's nothing worse than having allergy flare-ups, okay? Folks, be wiesel, take Zizel at night. Well, should we get to a story? Yeah, please. What's going on in the news? Well, is there bad blood? Zoe Kravitz's invite status for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding revealed after a feud rumors. This is from page six. What bad blood? Despite rampant rumors that Taylor Swift and Zoe Kravitz are feuding, a source tells page six,

the actress is invited to her pal's upcoming wedding to Travis Kelsey. The Big Little Lies Star 37 is expected to watch the couple tie the knot in New York City. in July. I thought they were going to get married in Rhode Island, New York City, huh? I think that people just keep lying and news sources keep picking it up. I remember when we first covered the story on where they were getting married and we were like, there's no way that the news outlet actually knows when and where they're getting married. Sure. And that turned out to be true. So I don't believe anything. Like, maybe at this point, if invites have been sent, but if I was Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, I would send to save the date and then, like,

48 hours before, I'd tell you where you need to be. And it's Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. You just, you got to, oh, time to go. You don't do a serious destination. Otherwise, people can't come. But yeah, I think you got to, otherwise, you're going to have lunatics in there. Let me ask you this.

And you're better at coveting and holding on. I feel like you have a base level of friendships and that maybe you've not, you've stuck with a lot of your day ones. How many of your guests? Let's say 200 people went to your wedding. 250? Is that a good?

My wedding, I think was, I think my wedding was 350. Oh, my God. And when I tell you, if it was up to my parents, they would have invited another 100 people that I don't know. Don't know. Yeah. Or knew at one point, they met me. they think fondly of me.

They were at my bris. So 350 was what we ended up. How many of those people would you invite to your wedding today? A lot. A lot of them. Probably all of them. Some of them would get an invite and they'd probably be like, oh, we haven't spoken in like four years. But I'm sure you have that person where like you just can't imagine getting married without that person at the

wedding, even though it might not make sense anymore. But I would say 90% would still be there. I would say less for me. But I, I mean, I honestly, and I made this mistake, like, I have some cousins that I didn't invite just because there was a time when our families weren't close enough, which is like really a shame because they should have been there as opposed to like some rando friends who I was close with at the time. I always think probably like, even if there's like, you know a certain people have big families you have 20 30 cousins you have things like this and you're like ah we barely talk it's like lean on that as opposed to like whatever the the flavor of the year is in your friend group but dude i have i have people i have groomsmen i wouldn't invite now like it's

crazy like and and page too and she's much more emotionally normal than me she's like yeah there's like a handful of people that would make no sense to be at our wedding today that was there seven years ago But do you not like them anymore or you're just not close with them? Because I understand, I agree with you. I have some groomsmen. So for me, I don't have anybody that I can recall that I dislike that was at my wedding. I didn't have a falling out with somebody that was at my wedding. But I have groomsmen that I'm not best friends with.

I think the only thing that would change today is groomsmen. Groomsmen are... Isn't that interesting? It is, yeah. Because groomsmen are your closest friends. And I've been married now for nine years. And some of them stay the same. But some of them, like, I have a best friend right now that I, that wasn't even at my wedding.

I mean, I have two. I have, I have you. It's the craziest thing. I have, yeah, there are, there are a bunch of groomsmen that I would add, a couple that I would remove. but I think net net my wedding might even be bigger. Like I have more people that I'd want to invite that I've met over the last decade that I love. And a lot of the people that I invited then, it's sort of what you just said, right? Even if I'm not the closest with those 30 cousins, they're still coming.

They're not being shaved. But that's, but those, I make that point because it's family. So you will be forced like there, maybe it won't happen for you. what's happened for me is like there are friends who I literally were like weekly friends who I would see who I have no contact with anymore and barring some big shakeup I won't but these cousins and close people like that like we've come around and I have a beautiful amazing relationship with them now but no matter what they would have still been in my life in some capacity yeah yeah I have yeah mine's mine's the same mine's the same mind's the same

same way. People that I spoke to every day, I don't talk to anybody every day, except for, I guess we text most days. I talk to Claudia every day, my parents every day. But if you have a family and a job, you can't text with friends every day. That just can't happen. So, but I have friends that I will talk to once every four months, that when I talk to them, I, like, I love them. I would, want them at my wedding. But yeah, I talked to them three times a year. I'm sure that if I went actually deeply through my list, there are 50 people I would remove.

But like talking about it openly, it's like, I love those people. And I would love them to be there if I can afford to have such a big beautiful wedding that includes everybody. I love a big party. Like, even like, I used to, I'm a little bit less of a birthday diva, even though I threw myself a birthday party this year and went to boys like girls. But like, I used to have birthday. birthday parties. And if you wanted to bring a friend, bring a friend. Like, I just like, I love,

I love celebrations. Like I, uh, not even, not even because it's about me. I think I just, I love an excuse to eat and drink and have fun and be with people. So for me, it's a more than merrier situation. Like, I'm going to be 40 in November and obviously people are already phowing out. Like, what are we doing? And like, they know. Like my mother-in-law- What the fuck are we doing? Nothing. I'm going to get plastic surgery, I think. No, I think we're going to, I'm going to get my tits done. I think we're going to rent a small yacht off the coast of Palm Beach

and we're going to sail. Okay? That's what we're going to fucking do. We're going to sail. You mean we're going to sing. We're going to sail. We're going to sail. You're ready to sail? It's going to be me, you, Joey Kamasta. Okay. Who's going on our super yacht for your 40th birthday off the coast of

Palm Beach? Who are we inviting? Well, here, speaking of Joey Camasta, I don't know if this is, we might have to cut this and I might be speaking out of school. So recently I was in a restroom and I was propositioned by a man, I think. Okay. Speaking of Joey Kamastor. Okay.

So let me show you the picture of what was under the stall. Okay. I'm in one stall, the guys in the next stall to me and all of a sudden I see this. What is that? What is that? I can't see what it is. Is that a hand? Oh, my God.

It's somebody's hand. So there was a hand there for a while. By the way, that is bare hand on the floor of a bathroom. I need to burn my hand. It's about 30 seconds. It was there. So beautiful cuticles, by the way, clearly gets manicures.

So I wrote to Joey, I have an indelicate question for you. Should I be flattered by whatever this was? And I sent him the photo. And Joey writes, OMG, L-O-L, y'all! He totally wanted to drain your sack under the stall. Chivalry is not dead. Oh my God, I love Joey.

You should be flattered, by the way. Creeped, but flattered. And I said, that is so forward. I've heard of the knock, but this seemed aggressive. And he wrote, was he motioning like this? And he just sent me his hand going like that. That is naughty. That is so funny.

Oh, my God. Nottie is right. Oh, yay, yay. Nobody ever propositions me. I wonder why. You just don't. I'm here to be propagated. Propagated?

Propagated? Propagate? No. No. I'm here to be. Pursuid? Propositioned? Propositioned. Propositioned.

I'm here to be proposition. Yeah, maybe I don't notice. I do have my head in the clouds most of the time.

I have become elite at parking illegally and not getting tickets. Last night I parked in front of Madison Square Garden. I'm driving down 31st between 7th and 8th on the left side of the garden. Tell me this. Hold on. You left your apartment. People know you've talked about on the pod. You live on the east side of New York. Are we allowed to say that?

Yes, correct. Okay. So you live on the east side of New York. Why get your car out of the garage and drive down? Were you doing other things too? No, convenient, easy, garage is close. I love driving, and I know that I can park right in front and not get a ticket. I hop right out of the garden, I get in my car.

You're crazy, dude. And let me tell you, I'm driving down 31st between 7th and 8th. If you can envision it, traffic's going this way, and there are cars parked, including like police cars this way. They're lined up. I see an open spot. I back up. I go up, I back in. There's a, like a suburban next to me, maybe waiting for a player.

The one to the right, it's just cop cars. I'm just like, I'm not going to get a ticket. They're not giving me a ticket. They didn't give me a ticket. They didn't give me a ticket. You are going to get hit so hard one day. But what's hard one day? What could they do?

Give me a ticket. Toot it. Nah. Too much effort to tow. If I parked, again, They're, I'm not dumb, okay? I'm not parking in a bus lane. Bus lane, tow.

Okay, bus stop, tow. Overnight in front of a hydrant, toe. But these little no standings, two and a half hours, you know how long it takes for them to get the tow truck there? More than that. That tow truck's booked and busy. By the time I get there, oh, yo, you're bringing the boot? When?

When are you bringing the boot? I'm out of here. Sam? It's dangerous, but I get it. You know who Gianni Paolo is? No, but yes, Josh, I play a dangerous game. I think it's like, it really just like revs my engine. There's something about being such a bad boy on the streets.

It gets me juiced. Tell me, Giovanni, is that his name? Gianni, he's on that show Power, great guy. And him and his buddy who, they're both actors on the show, the great actors, they have their own pod. I recently did his podcast and he should come on ours. But they're New York kids through and through. And they were saying how they basically, you can only have a car in New York if you're down to illegally park.

And, you know, it's for a two-hour parking anywhere in the city, it's probably going to cost you $60 to $100. And so you do that enough times. You get a $3,400 ticket, you know, whatever. It's like worth it. Yeah. You got to do a high drink. The tickets in the city.

though, they're 65. I think the highest is 165. I've never gotten a ticket for more than 165. In front of a hydrant. In front of a hydrant. In front of a hydrant is 165. Wow.

Kind of worth it. Why? Is it more in L.A.? L.A. will get you, boy. They will. Yeah, they'll do, they'll get you on a street clear. They can get you. They'll also, if you're in the wrong jurisdiction, heavy on the dick. jurisdiction. Like,

don't come looking for me, guys. A front license plate just ain't it, dog. A front license plate ain't fucking cool, y'all. That's what's nice. That's what's nice about Florida. You don't need it. It's just back. No front license plates.

New York's front and back. Sometimes you'll get the first ticket, which is like, right? And it's like $65 for parking. And then there'll be a cutesy little one behind it. And they'll be like, where's your front plate 65? So you'll get a double, a double decker. That's not nice.

Like, those are guys trying to hit quotas. In New York, in the city, I feel like we don't hit quotas. I think they're just like, there's so many violations everywhere. You don't need to hit a quota. So they ding you? Okay, they'll ding you. But I've never been double ticketed. That's terrible.

Well, did you know that page six is reporting why Sidney's Devil Wear, Devil Wears Prada 2 cameo was abruptly cut from final. version of film. The team behind the Devil Wares Pratatoo reportedly made a creative decision to cut Sidney's cameo from the final version of the film. An insider familiar with the euphoria star's scrapped appearance opened up about the decision and what would have happened in her scene during the chat with Entertainment Weekly. They revealed that Sweeney was said to appear early in the David Frankel directed sequel when Anne Hathaway, Merrill Streep, and Stanley Tucci's characters go to the Dior headquarters.

Upon arriving at the office, a trio would have reportedly found Blunt's character dressing Sweeney, who was one of Charlton's celebrity clients and played herself in the short scene. However, the source told Entertainment Weekly that Sweeney's roughly three-minute scene felt out of place with the sequence they were going for.

Do we buy that? I don't know. What could be another reason? I think that Sidney, through no fault of her own. I think she's awesome. I think she's somehow found herself in like weird political heat.

Still? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think she's like the people call her like the poster child for MAGA because she did the jeans ad. And they just like, yeah. So I actually, this feels lightly, politically charged to me. I could be reading into it.

But I don't think you cut probably would would you say sidney swine's the most famous actress in the world right now no what would you where would you put her would you say that she's the most famous like maybe not actress is she the most famous one of the most famous people in the world i just feel like yeah sydney swiney is like in a league of her own right now she just is like uh so recognizable and you'd want that in your movie. It's like getting any A-plus list. Like, I think she's more, do you think she's more famous than Anne Hathaway today? Maybe. I just think it's weird to cut a scene then. Weird. I don't know. Yeah, it's, um, it's really interesting. I auditioned for this movie,

um, summer of last year. Yeah, to play Anne Hathaway's, um, new love interest because they were like, we're not going to go with Adrian Grenier again, but we'll go with. with an uglier version. I thought that would have been amazing. I'm younger than her. I actually had a good audition, but I was like, I don't think they're going to want to cast a younger, like that that's part of the dynamic, right?

Like, if anything, they'll probably go with like a silver fox, which he didn't. The guy looks great, the actor who got it. But, you know, it was like, it was interesting to see this whole thing come together. I mean, it's crazy that this was a movie I was auditioning for in the end of July and it was filmed in August, September, October and is already out six months later.

Like, clearly they were on a breakneck pace. Yeah. Yeah. They rushed it out. That's like, and movies like that normally take significantly longer than that, right? Like, what's the normal lead time? A full year. A full year.

Yeah, that makes sense. But that was the, that was the interesting thing about Christopher Nolan where we were, when we were doing Oppenheimer, we filmed from March to. June, let's say, or my part was from March to April, at the end of April, but he went all the way to June. And his date was already locked in for July the following year. So, like, he has it so, he has his post-production so dialed in. Like, he knows that from July to, like, November, he was going to have completely done. Like, director's cuts done. Then they're just doing visual effects or anything like, obviously he doesn't use visual effects for like visual finishing and audio. finishing and all that. He knows that he's going to drop like a game changer preview trailer in the big Christmas movies. Right. Yeah. And then like his trajectory is just so clean and the man doesn't miss. Imagine being that organized. The goal. Like the dream. I swear to God, my dream in life is to be that organized. Maybe one day. I think it's I think it's, I think it's

such a superpower that is so hard to teach. I don't know anybody that went from disorganized to organized. I just know people that have been organized. Right. It's so hard, but it really makes you it's a superpower, Josh. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Nutrafol.

that's trending on TikTok right now? No. She's like asked a question and before she answered she goes, inshallah, it'll be okay. And all that I have to say is I didn't know she was Muslim.

Is she Muslim? I don't know. People in the comments are like, you can say inshallah if you're not Muslim. I'm like, I don't know anybody that says inshallah if you're not Muslim. It's like me saying B.H. Which I guess you could say B.H.

If you're not Jewish, I just, I was taken by it. I'm literally scrolling and I see, I thought it was AI. It she literally goes, inshallah, it'll be okay. I'm like, okay, Ann Hathaway, go off. There's a couple, there's a couple great Arabic words I love, Yala, Yela, which obviously has been, Yala. Yela. Come on, let's go. Yela. Vamanos.

That's great. That was, that's great. I like um uh, uh, Pustema. Pustema is a dumb, dumb, dumb person.

Okay. Pustema is a dumb person. I think it actually, yeah, I think it actually has like a female bend to it, but Pustema. Shukron, shukharn is, uh, thank you. Okay.

And, um, no, thank you. No, thank you. God bless. Um, do we have any more on mail? Here's a hilarious one. It's just like so us that somebody would write this. Leaving negative reviews. I know you guys say only leave five-star reviews on the podcast,

but what is your opinion on leaving negative reviews otherwise? Is it bad karma or is it helpful? Honest reviews are so helpful when deciding to visit a new restaurant, hotel, etc., but I feel like an absolute jerk leaving a negative review even when it's deserved. For context, we had one bad vendor at our wedding recently, and because of how much it cost, I really wanted to leave them a three-star review, but I feel rude. Is it bad energy or genuinely helpful for others? This is tough, Josh. It's tough because I would never leave a negative review, but I read reviews, specifically negative ones on products to see if I should buy it or on restaurants to see if I should go. So I really don't know. It's such a tough one. I think they're helpful. I think that I

I think that it can't be subjective, though. It can't be I didn't like the taste of the salmon. It can be my salmon was fishy. It can't be, you know what I mean? Like, they would need to be very specific cleanliness when it relates to a hotel or a restaurant. Like bad service, that could be one server, right? Dirty is a different story. my room like my the the uh blanket was stained talk to the front desk that was like somebody missed

something right but there's a bullet hole in my wall you should probably tell somebody about that because clearly it's in the wrong wrong part of town and turrish shouldn't be there so i think it depends uh if you spent a lot of money on a vendor for your wedding i would first go to that vendor and say, look, we both know this isn't, this didn't turn out the way that we intended. Do you mind giving me a bit of a refund? Like, the service wasn't rendered. And then if you're really vengeful, you can write a negative review. I would probably just forget about it because you're, God willing, not going to get married

again. And so what's done is done. But you won't recommend them to somebody if they ask you for recommendation. But I don't know if you have to post it online. Yeah, I think something has to be pretty egregious. to for you to complain. But if it is, yeah, go for it. I live by this idea of, does it need to be said?

Does it need to be said by me? And does it need to be said right now? And if it checks all three of those boxes, sing to your heart's content. Let it go. If it doesn't, keep it in. I told you this once. I was at, this is crazy. I was at one of our favorite restaurants with my mom.

This was like 10 or 15 years ago. and this guy dropped off a plate to my mom and I were eating and he was just he like literally tossed it and my mom looked at him and she's not the one

and she's like tell you drop a plate like I mean it was as lacking any level of civility or courteous and he just like scoffed at her like and walked away

and I was like get the manager over here right now this guy and And it's an open kitchen format. She can imagine where we were. And he's, I can see him in the kitchen talking shit about me and my mom. And the manager comes over.

And I literally was like, this is unacceptable what just happened. It's him. And I see him looking at us and he's talking shit. And I go, you! And I stood up and went, you! And he was like, and like ran. Like ran. And I've never felt so good about an interaction.

in my life. Yeah, sometimes you need it. But see, you wouldn't, you didn't go and write a review online. You had a bad experience. You dealt with it in person. Like, it happens. These things happen. I've told you this story about, again, a restaurant that we both love a very popular steakhouse where the waitress, like, basically coerced us into ordering three times the food we needed. And I just said at the end, like, her job in this is to make sure that we're full and fed. I don't even care about the money. There were literally, like, three extra stakes. Right.

And I could have written a negative view. I just said at the end, I'm like, look, you know, there's a lot of food here. I'm happy to pay for it. That said, like, if the waitress says that she's going to help you order, typically, they help you order to the amount of people that you have don't have you over-order. And if I'm saying we over-order, Josh, I'm the king of over-ordering, okay? I'm the king. Yes.

You got a Woody and Nuts? My Woody Nuts moment, our Woody Nuts moment of the week are gripes with people, places, and things, both big and tall, whatever is sticking in your craw. All right, Josh, my whaty you're nuts moment. Look, gas prices, I don't like to complain about them. They go up, they go down, they go up, they go down, except on 23rd Street and the FDR Drive. Do you know this BP that I'm talking about? Well, you already answered the question. And it's the first and the last one that you see before you leave the city.

This is a very, very, very old famous BP. And let me tell you, they've been price gouging forever. And it's fine. I need gas. I need gas. $5.95. Josh, today, $8. I didn't even know I was filling up my tank.

All of a sudden I looked at it. I'm like, it said, $100 for nine gallons. I pulled it out. $8 a gallon. What are you not? My Woody and Nuts moment of the week is if you're a parent and your child's in any version of Little League or any kind of child sport and you do anything other than good job, guys. Woody you are a loser with a capital L. You really need to get it together.

They've really instituted a genius thing. And I wonder if they'll do this in New York or Florida, wherever the wonderful Ruby is the great Bambino out there, the Rubino out there hitting home runs. They've instituted kid umpires, which is really cool. That is. A, they learn a skill. They really are into it. They're really good. Our kid umpire is really good.

And also, you've got to be one big asshole to yell at the kid umpire. We got parents yelling at the kid umpire. He's 10. Yeah. Oh my God. Going ump, what are you talking about? He was safe.

I want to look at those parents and be like, let's go meet behind the snack bar. So I can do jiu-jitsu on you. Frank. But was he safe? No, the kid was totally off. The kid needs a vision test. Nevertheless. This is a problem. So true. Oh, my God. You know what else is a problem? Josh, not giving this episode five stars. That's a problem. Listen to us wherever you get your podcast. Watch us on YouTube, but really watch us on Spotify. I can't, I'm, I'm felling every time I see it. I open the app. I see us on Spotify. It's amazing.
