Good Guys - The REAL A-List...

Episode Date: January 19, 2026

Mazel Morons! It’s another immaculate Monday and the Good Guys are officially topical… allegedly. We’re kicking off 2026 with a wide-ranging, unhinged conversation that somehow becomes spiritual... along the way. From Ben’s shocking courtside experience at a Miami Heat game to Josh’s Costco gas-line confrontation that turns into a full-blown moral reckoning, we break down why Florida might secretly be the best place to live, how New York keeps making life harder for no reason, and why hospitality actually matters. We also weigh in on celebrity mom group drama, the rise of “Hallmark hunks,” GLP-1 stigma , and the strange comfort of realizing your salad might be worse than your sandwich. Plus, the first Moron Mail of the year delivers real relationship advice, questionable hypotheticals, and a reminder that some questions truly shouldn’t be asked. We’re topical. We’re spiritual.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Mazumorans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. We're topical now, but I don't know what to do about that. By the way, Josh, topical, it's really a state of mind, okay? It's whatever feels right. Right. We are topical. It doesn't mean that we have to be topical.
Starting point is 00:00:50 We can just say we're topical, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm into saying things that aren't true, right? We're topical. What are you going to question me? We're topical. So true. We're topical, Josh.
Starting point is 00:01:00 So I went to the Miami. Amy Heat game the other night, Josh. Can I tell you about this experience quickly? I'd love it. First and foremost, first and foremost, you've sat courtside, okay, at that magic game. There's nothing like it. Okay? That's right.
Starting point is 00:01:13 I sat on the wood. I had a wonderful restaurateur to my left in Jeff Zalaznik, Mario Carbone's partner. And to my right, I had Caleb Presley. You know the barstool interview? This, Josh, it wasn't necessarily star-studded, but it was fantastic. The seats out of this world. Josh, they don't even have free water. The hospitality suite for courtside at the Miami Heat Arena, you walk in, you see the buffet
Starting point is 00:01:42 like you're used to seeing in Madison Square Garden, $100 a person. Oh, that's for a time that you sit. That's awful. So before the game, you go, you're going to pay $100 for the buffet. You're then going to go at half again. You're going to pay $100 again. They don't even have free water. This is, I have another what are you nuts for later.
Starting point is 00:02:02 This was the biggest what are you nuts I've ever seen in my life, ever. You have season ticket holders paying $3,500 a ticket and you can't give them water. I was like, I was blown away. That's insane. And I'm thinking to myself, unless they went through a hospitality change, the Miami Heat right now, they're experiencing a low. They're a fine team. like they've had amazing teams.
Starting point is 00:02:31 You're telling me that with LeBron, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosch winning championships, the people courtside were paying for the buffet. By the way, this can't be. This Miami Heat, they have not mattered. They mattered for three years. They have not mattered for decades before and decades after.
Starting point is 00:02:49 And I think this is why. I think so too. You're not treating your customers right. You're too money hungry. You can't give out water. You can literally go. They could 100% go to Zephyr Hills or whatever the local water is and get free water. They literally go to those people if they cared.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And they say, we want to advertise your water to the most premium clientele in all of Miami. Give us free water. If they, for whatever reason, don't want to foot the bill for a thousand waters a game. Like, I didn't even know what to do. I actually did know what to do. I paid. I paid for the buffet begrudgingly. I paid.
Starting point is 00:03:27 What was I going to do? Not get it. And let me tell you, this was not even a good buffet, Josh. Oh, I could have to do that. It's not possible. It's not possible for it to be good because you're dealing with. And God bless you, know I'm a pro-union guy, except for the writers. But you know stuff the industry guys.
Starting point is 00:03:47 No, shout out the writers. No, we've recovered. But the problem is it's like any of these things. It's like hotel food, arena food, convention. center food. It's highly unionized. There's so many rules in place that like no one has an incentive to go above and beyond their job scope. And so they just mail it in because and I don't blame them. I don't blame them either. There's something about it's if you think you're getting something for free and then you have to pay for it, it better be fucking amazing. Right. And it just
Starting point is 00:04:24 wasn't. I'm sorry. It just it wasn't amazing. And I feel totally comfortable saying, all of this because I paid for my tickets. I am a patron. I went to the game, a normal Joe. Sure, did I get last minute tickets so that I didn't pay so much money? Absolutely. But I paid for my seats.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I went and I was floored. Floored. The Madison Square Garden, for those of you that don't know, let me just paint a picture, okay? There are two different sections. If you're in the courtside room, there's an even nicer section
Starting point is 00:04:54 than just this room, which is general court side. Like the thousand seats or 500, seats that are all around as close to the court as possible, you go into the Delta Lounge. Yeah, that's good. And in that Delta Lounge, you get unlimited, if you eat it, you get unlimited shrimp cocktail, okay, you get unlimited sushi.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Love. You get unlimited chicken fingers, fries, burgers, every soda, every candy you can possibly think of. The only thing you pay for in that room is liquor, okay? The only thing you pay for in that room is liquor. And they have top of the line, everything. Then in the court side area, you can't. you don't even pay for liquor.
Starting point is 00:05:31 That's free too. I just, and there's a reason. It's because you're a hospitality venue. Be hospitable. Yes. That's what it is. You're welcoming them into your home. I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I couldn't believe. At Miami at the Orlando Magic, did they give you free food? Of course they did. If you can live anywhere other than San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, New York City, L.A. and Miami, right? I mean, wouldn't you say? These are like the major cities in Boston of the United States.
Starting point is 00:06:03 If you can think it's hot to be, if you can be in Milwaukee, if you can go crazy in the Tampa Bay, your life is going to be beyond. If you're rich in those cities and you like living there, you have the golden pass, my boy. You have the golden pass. I looked just the other day. I was thinking, you know, maybe I'd taken a Florida Panthers game.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Josh. Just maybe, okay? You know how much it is to sit glass on Stub Hub at a Florida Panthers game? 500. 320. Yeah. At Madison Square Garden for the Rangers, two grand. That's secondary market. Like, it's just, it's night and day. It's night and day. And you probably live better. One, you get to be near the beach. The other, you get to be with Zoron. Like, what are we even talking about? And by the way, we're not, we're not saying 320 is nothing. We're not. Don't you. Don't you put that evil on our name. Okay. We're saying comparatively.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I am correct. Comparatively. Comparatively, anybody would agree that is, that is nothing for the seat. It's just a fact. Yes. It's a fact. $320 for first row at a hockey game in this day and age is nothing. That might have been nothing, honestly, Josh, in 1990.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Right. Like it's just, it's so cheap. It's so cheap. You're so right. If you can live, Tampa Bay. It's absolutely fantastic. A friend of mine, friend of the podcast, Pete Alonzo, our dear friend, just went from the New York Mets to the Baltimore Orioles.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He got a fat fucking contract and we can't be happier for him. You know much better he's going to live in Baltimore, Josh? He could buy getting space. He's old house. He could buy Baltimore. Yes. He can buy all of Baltimore. Buy all of Baltimore.
Starting point is 00:08:03 You don't need to be in New York and pay New York taxes. Go be in Baltimore. If you're a ball player, you can be anywhere. Dude, my boy, Jared, we always talk about this. Who I was at the Orlando Magic Game with. Shout out Jared. Love him deeply. Him and his wife and our kids are friends.
Starting point is 00:08:19 They're the best. And his father-in-law is a maher in Orlando. And I don't think I'm speaking out of turn here. This guy does well. And him and his wife could not be the loveliest couple, loveliest people. But I love this story. Last name, Rosen Chingle?
Starting point is 00:08:34 Are they the Rosen Shingles? Probably the heir to the Rosen Shingle Fortune. And my favorite story of his is like, he's like, you have to understand how much my father-in-law has Orlando dialed. Because when you have good, like, he's got like big city money in a medium-sized city. And so he like, for instance, He got sick when he was out visiting my buddy in L.A.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I needed to be in the hospital for a couple days for a procedure. Procedure. Now, Jared goes, well, thank God you're here. We're in California. We're in Los Angeles, Cedar Sinai. Arguably, the top three best hospitals in the country are here. This is where you want to get sick. He goes, no, no, get me back to Orlando.
Starting point is 00:09:22 He goes, yeah. Because he's got a wing at the hospital because at Cedar. He's another schmo at Orlando General. I don't know the name of the hospital. He's Zaron Mamnani. He's the king. Mickey, Mickey Mouse Corner. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:41 He's got a freaking five-room suite and doctors like literally begging to do work on him. Because, you know, I'm sure he, you know, I'm sure he built a wing there. You know, Orlando is a very interesting one because you have Disney World. There's so much money in Orlando. Right. Like there's so much money being spent in Orlando. It's one that I've never really thought of. Like there are tier two cities and then there are tier two cities.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I don't think like Orlando, I feel like just flies right under the radar because it probably generates the revenue of a tier one. But it's sitting in a tier two, Josh. It's very interesting. It's not like an Oklahoma city. Okay. It's not. But when I think of would I want to live in Orlando or would I want to live in Oklahoma City?
Starting point is 00:10:24 At first, I'm like, you know, you can pick either. It doesn't, one doesn't really jump out over the other. But the amount of money going into the economy of Orlando, Orlando's probably fantastic. I haven't spent enough time except the Rosen Schingle. Sure. When we did our beautiful BBIO, uh, presentation for the youth, that was really that in Disney World.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I've, otherwise I haven't spent time. But now I should. Now I would. Oh, please. Orlet, I just love, now you tell me, because you've been spending a more time in Florida. You've been there for, for almost a month over the holiday. what are you getting away from the things that I know you would love? The golfing, the, you know, the, the obvious things.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Like, what are some small, I love the subtlety. I love the little, you know. Two things. One, the beach. Not enough people. That's obvious. I want. So then, vine, not obvious.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I want silly. Getting in your car. Is that obvious? Is silly random? Like, just get it. Like, I'm always in the car. 24-7. I'm always in.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Okay. Silly random. You ready for this? Yeah, yeah. This is elite. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I don't think you have, I don't think you have this in California. I think that they took it away.
Starting point is 00:11:31 They took it away from us in New York. Josh, you go to fill up your fucking gas tank and they, and you press the handle. And then you can pull down that little lever. It stays. No, we have that. It stays. We don't have that in New York. We don't have that.
Starting point is 00:11:47 They removed it a long time ago. What? So you have to cramp your hand. No clue. Every single gas station in the entire state of New York, you can Google this. They've removed the ability to hold in the clamp. That was probably Cuomo. You know, I'm sorry, Kat.
Starting point is 00:12:03 That was probably Cuomo scrambling. They were like, Cuomo, there's girls coming out saying you hug too hard. And he goes, let's fuck with the gas. He's like, get me something. I need a story. I need a distraction. I'd love to know when it happened. I can't remember a time in, I can't remember a time where I've driven and
Starting point is 00:12:26 I haven't had to do that in New York. It's been a very, very, very long time. And it's funny, you'll notice, they didn't replace the handheld. They just shaved it down. Weird. It was there. They just shaved down the stopper. See, it can't click it.
Starting point is 00:12:41 What are they afraid of that it's going to overfill? Those things are monitored. It clicks out when it's full. Right. Like, I don't, there must have been like one lawsuit in New York and they ruined it for everyone. So yeah, that's my little thing in Florida that I'm, Just love it. Fantastic.

Starting point is 00:15:21 As you know, and now as a Tesla driver, a new Tesla driver, by the way, that was another thing I did over the break. I haven't had to go to a gas station unless I'm filling up my wife's car. And you realize in our ADD culture where you have five minutes to burn when you're getting filled up, this is the perfect time as you're automatically filling up. You do the windows. You clean out. You get the garbage. You throw the garbage out of the car.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It's like the idea of standing there and pumping it for five minutes is just wasted time. Awful. Awful. Right? Awful. You end up watching the TV. You have to. No, thanks.
Starting point is 00:15:59 You have to pass the time so they can sell you. No, I don't need to watch the TV. Correct. Maybe that's why they do it, Josh. Keep your attention there. Maybe that's why they do it. I don't know. I had a, that you sent me up perfectly for a gas station story, which really led to maybe my most,
Starting point is 00:16:15 one of the most spiritual moments I've ever had in my life. You ready for this? You tell me this. I'm ready. This is spiritual. People that are on the mountaintop. They get visited by, you know, the. Maharishi, they go, oh my God, I'm spiritual.
Starting point is 00:16:30 This, you want, you know, you want blue collar spiritual. This is it. So I'm with my kids in a line at Costco. There's always a line for the gas. But the gas, as we know, I can be quite frugal, but I just think it's being smart. If you have a SUV, you probably have a 20-gallon tank. Now, no matter what, Costco is going to be $1 less a gallon. So people always give me a hard time.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You go to Costco to fill up, like isn't it inconvenient? It can be. but if it's the only place you go, that means you're saving 20 bucks every time. Like, that's real money. And so... That's not you being frugal, by the way.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I'll always call you out. That's you being smart. No, that's smart. And you have a Costco card. You pay for it. It's like being a member of a club and not going. You should go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:16 If you're in the mode for a hot dog, go Costco. They're taking a loss. They're taking a loss on the gas. They're taking a loss on everything, Josh. Almost everything. They're in, operation is to break even and they make all the money billions a year on the fee for the membership.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Their entire operation is break even. That's why they're so much cheaper because they don't need to make a dollar on gas. They break even on every single thing sold in the store. Everything. They make money on however many hundreds of millions of people that pay $60 or $70 a year for the card. So they're $1.4 billion a year in profit just off the membership card. Wow. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Genius. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Continue, though. Continue. So I'm filling up and there's a line of two or three people, but, you know, there's pumps on each side.
Starting point is 00:18:14 And of course, Costco being freaking brilliant, any Costco gas insider knows, such as myself, it doesn't matter what side your gas tank is on because the hose. are long enough where you can actually pull it to the other side of your car. So it's not like where you have to go on the right side if your tank's on the right. You can go to either side. So I'm in line. There's like two or three people ahead of me. And I notice the line next to me and the other side is completely empty.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And somebody pulls out and there's a pump open. I go, I'm going to go over there. What are you kidding? So I go over there. I fill up and I'm backing into the spot. I'm about to go fill up. And a guy, one of the guys who works there, like basically like comes up. me pretty hot. He goes, you just cut the line? And I go, no. And by the way, both of my kids are in
Starting point is 00:19:01 the back seat. He goes, do you not see there's like three people waiting? Like, were you on the other side? I go, yeah, I was, but this was open. Like, and there was no one behind me. He goes, there's three people waiting for this pump. You're on the other side, right? And I go, and it was one of those moments where I go, like, I'm not, listen, I'll steal water from work. You know what I mean? I'm no sailor. You know, I don't know what that reference is. I'm no angel. It was like, I'm no sailor.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I'm no sailor. You know what I mean? I'm not going to go sleep, you know, I'm not going to go sleep with some girl during Fleet Week. Okay. It's like, you know, like, I'm no angel. Like I definitely have my little things, my, that I do that aren't exactly, the most gentlemanly.
Starting point is 00:19:58 But like this is to cut a line so publicly is not my cheat. Right. So it felt very odd that this guy was saying because it was like I truly and he goes, look behind you. And then there were a couple people there. But of course, I had just been there for 30 seconds. Like maybe people drove up. They drove up all day.
Starting point is 00:20:16 But they certainly, I did not see them there when I moved over. And he goes, you know what? Just stay. And I'm like, no, no, no. I'll go around. No problem. And like, again, I'm like, okay, your kids are in the back. I'm not going to fight this guy.
Starting point is 00:20:32 He came at me a little bit sideways, and I know I didn't cut anyone. I go, but, you know, no problem. So I drive around. And I did the right thing. The spiritual part was, as the day went on, an hour in, I go, you did the right thing. You didn't get into a fight with this random guy who's just probably doing this job in front of your kids. You didn't get heated. respect, Josh.
Starting point is 00:20:57 And another hour later, I thought, maybe those people were there. That's really, that was the most spiritual, where I literally was like convinced I didn't do it in the moment. But an hour or two later, I went, maybe I was wrong. Like, maybe I saw it incorrectly. How rare is that that someone can go, I was sure of it, but there's a total possibility I didn't see it right. you know what I mean? Not that rare. Not that rare, Josh. And I'm telling you, you were right. I've had enough of this shit. Okay. I've had enough. I'm the person. I'm sorry. If you, uh, Granny Sue, want to be the hundredth person in line to get off the exit. That's your prerogative.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Me? I'm going up to the top. I'm not cutting you off. I'm just waiting to see. Did you leave too much room, Deborah, did you leave a little bit too much room between you and the Tacoma in front of you? Skirt right in. That is my right. For you, Josh, finders keepers. Okay? Finders if they were too slow, maybe you saw them. Maybe you didn't see them. It was open, Josh. How'd you get there so fast that the person behind you didn't call you out on it? That was my thought too. The person who worked there called you out. But Josh, if you really cut somebody off, Oh, they'll tell you. Bobby Sue or whatever I called her would be honking at me, calling me an asshole or whatever it is. If I cut her off and she was upset, if I cut her off seamlessly where she created space and I entered, there's never a honk.
Starting point is 00:22:33 There's no problem. You didn't interrupt the system. You, Josh, didn't interrupt the system. You didn't do anything wrong. Otherwise, the person waiting in line, the three people in line would have let you hear it. Okay. So no, it can still be spiritual if you want, but no, I think in that scenario, you were right. But I want to be spiritual. I don't want to be right. Josh, we're two things, okay? We're two things. We're topical and we're spiritual. Yes. We can be spiritual. We can be because we're saying we're spiritual. We're topical and we're spiritual. Yeah. And I'm sure by the end of this episode, we'll have a third because things come in threes. Totally. Topical and spiritual. Okay? This feels very weird doing a three like this, but I don't think you'd do it any other way.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Oh, my only nerve. This finger's numb. It just went. I saw it. I saw it. Pop. Your forearm started to shiver. You saw it? It just went. That's it. It went. It's numb. This guy. Wow. Just relax, Ben. Just let it out. Well, did you hear that Ashley Tisdale exposes toxic, select? mom group filled with mean girl behavior and high school like isolation. Her lips aren't sealed. Ashley Tisdale took shots at her former toxic mom group, which included Hillary Duff, hard to believe, fuck that noise, Megan Traynor and Mandy Moore in a scathing essay for the cut. The former Disney Channel star reflected on feeling not cool enough after being excluded from
Starting point is 00:24:11 hangouts in Thursday's space. Thursday's piece. Excuse me. She recalled sitting alone one night After getting her daughter to bed Feeling totally lost As to what she was doing wrong To be left out
Starting point is 00:24:23 The actress 40 went on to text the group This is too high school for me And I don't want to take part in it anymore Although she never considered the moms To be bad people Except for maybe one She chose to cut ties with them After the dynamics stopped being healthy
Starting point is 00:24:37 And positive I can believe it about every girl in there Except our Hillary Duff, Megan Trainor and who else? No, Hillary Duff, Megan Trainor and who else? Hillary Duff Megan Trainer, Mandy Moore, and I don't recognize anyone else. Hillary Duff, Megan, Trainer, Mandy Moore. Josh, what's the difference between Hillary Duff, Megan Traynor, Mandy Moore, and Ashley Tisdale?
Starting point is 00:25:01 Oh, you're a son of, you're rough, Ben. I want no part of that. No big. Hillary Duff, Megan Traynor, and Mandy Moore are actually famous. And what does that say for me? And currently relevant. I just, Josh, Josh, first of all, you are so much more famous than Ashley Thesdale.
Starting point is 00:25:24 This is not even a comparison. I don't even know why you're going. She's a very nice person. Okay. That said, we're talking about, we're talking about three incredibly, incredibly A-list famous women, okay? A-list. Hillary Duff, A-list.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Ashley Tisdale, not A-list. Mandy Moore. A list, Josh, A list. Okay. Ashley Tisdale, not A list. Megan Traynor, A list. Ashley Tisdell, not A list. So what I'm going to believe, Josh, is that Ashley Tisdell had a great run with this group. Okay?
Starting point is 00:25:58 She had a great run. She was lucky to be included. Okay. Now she's on the outs. Maybe they realize they're like, you know, we don't need this anymore. Ashley needs this more than us. Because Ashley needs stuff to revive maybe her career. But the others don't.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Okay. Nah. This is my hot take. Josh wants no pardon it. This is my hot take. Okay. I'm willing to take all the flames. Topical.
Starting point is 00:26:23 We're topical. I'm willing to take. We're like an ointment. We're like hydrochornezone. We're so topical. We're topical. Topical, spiritual. And we got all the, I'm down to take all the flames.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I'm made. Okay. I got it. Look, whether I'm right or wrong, I think it's a good take. I think it's a good take. Well, the government's keeping track of what people get stuck in their butts, and these were the worst items last year. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission actually keeps a database of ER visits
Starting point is 00:27:01 and what's bringing people in. A lot of people are just saying, really, Doc, I just fell on it. In addition to numerous sex toys, including a 24-inch-long dildo, whoa. The highlights include nails, screws and nails, baseball, reason given to see what it felt like. Uncooked pasta. I wonder what shape the noodle was. Egg. Dog chew toy, dryer sheet, sandal, wine stopper, corn cob holder, film canister, battery powered light.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Josh. Nose hair trimmer. Josh. sandal No big deal I can I can make a case I can make a case
Starting point is 00:27:51 for you trying to put a rigatoni up your rear but a sandal like babe where are my Tivas
Starting point is 00:28:02 babe where are my Birkenstocks not again not again Dan oh my God well All right, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:28:14 People are weird, Josh. Well, corporate girlies are desperate for Hallmark Hunks in real life to satisfy a rom-com itch. It's quite a fantasy. This winter, a growing number of high achieving city women are swapping cubicles and slack notifications for something straight out of a wintry hallmark movie. Blue-collar boyfriends with callous hands, pickup trucks, and jobs that don't involve outlook calendars. Dubbed the rise of the real-life Hallmark Hunk. The trend has corporate women in New York. New York City and beyond swooning over men who looked like they wandered off the set of a small
Starting point is 00:28:48 town rom-com, rugged, charming, and blissfully unconcerned with office politics. Dude, this is just going to lend itself to like a bunch of Williamsburg and Silver Lake, carhart wearing, redwing boot wearing, freaking Trader Joe's tote carrying losers. Give me a break. Yep. Because I've said this before. I shout out Blake, my sister-in-law. I love you dearly.
Starting point is 00:29:17 But like, I always used to give her crap because she used to do this. And before she met the perfect man of her dreams, my brother-in-law will, who's truly the perfect guy for her and the perfect guy in general, perfect guy for me. But like my wife and her sisters, but also like their friends would like, they would do this where they would like romanticize these like versions of like real men. And while we all love it, I'm like, I'm like, guys, you're a bunch of girls from Manhattan Beach, California who are used to a certain lifestyle. Like, you're not getting dinner at Walmart.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Like, I love y'all. But it's just like, not regularly. Like, you're going to do it every now and then, but like, you ain't living that life. Come on. No, no. And the real man that you're looking for in California, you would need to move Josh to find that guy that they're looking for. Right. You'd need to find that that hunk in the tier B city, tier C city even. You need to go to some great town in Nebraska and find that flannel wearing hunk. But if you see him in L.A., there's a problem, Josh. Big. It's not what it seems.
Starting point is 00:30:29 It's not what it seems. There in Nebraska, he's being completely himself. In L.A., he's hiding something, Josh. Yeah. I don't know what it is. He's a corn farmer. He's certainly closeted. He's in love with his farmhand.
Starting point is 00:30:45 But he marries you. And he'll learn to love you. But in his heart, he loves Roger. He loves Roger. Roger's him. You're going to be with him in the sack, and he's going to be calling out Roger. And you're going to say, my name is Regina. And he's going to pretend that it was just a close call when in reality he was thinking of Roger.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah. Rogers burly grounds keep her hands. No, I'm kidding. Okay. You're going to find Roger's car keys, shoved up his rear. Yeah. And he's going to try and explain it away. I just sat on them.
Starting point is 00:31:25 It's crazy. Roger doesn't drive the key of Sorrento, honey. I swear. Babe, what are these Hyundai Palisade keys? I don't know. They're not Rogers. Oh my God. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Nutraful.

Starting point is 00:36:04 Melanie. Hi, good guys. I love the pod. I need some advice. I gave birth to my third baby girl earlier this year. And my husband absolutely carried our family through the newborn phase while I dealt with postpartum depression and some lingering health stuff. He truly pulled more than his weight and never complained. I want to say a real meaningful thank you, but I'm feeling stuck. Do dads actually want a big gift, weekend getaway, tickets to a sporting event? Or is there something better coming from a wife and mom?
Starting point is 00:36:38 of three since the two of you are both dads of little kids. I'd love your perspective. Thanks, guys. Wow. Well, I hope you're feeling better and sounds like you have an amazing husband. I personally, I don't need a gift. In that situation, if my wife came to me and just acknowledged, like, he's probably thinking it, but he sounds like too nice to ever throw it in your face or ever talk about it. I honestly think just you go into him and saying, look, I'm like so, aware of what you've done over the last year. It's meant the world to me. It's been like everything.
Starting point is 00:37:14 You're the best husband. At least for me, I don't need tickets to a jet game. Like, maybe that's just me. I just need the, the acknowledgement would go a long way with me. What do you think, Josh? I would want canoodle adjacent favors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Oh, I think we're going to say something like I want like a boat or like that. I can buy myself a boat. Yeah, by the way, for sure. Canood. You can also buy yourself can noodle adjacent flavors, but hey, no, I can't. No, you can't. Like, I can buy myself the iPhone 17. Like, I can't, like, to me, like that, but that's me.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Like, that's, that's my love language. It's a lovely love language. I, I hear it while I'm words of affirmation. Your blow jobs. Yeah. Like to each their own. By the way, I'll take one too. Sure.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I just, you're giving them out. Because, and here's something, before it sounds too chauvinous, what I'm saying is, I know job is in the title. I, like, I can't believe it. Like, I can't believe that it is. It seems miserable. It's a job. It's a job.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah. Like, I honor that. So if you're really, it's an active service. If you love me enough and like to do a couple like, you know, bi-monthly blow, I don't know. I've never thought about it. But like, I'm just saying that would mean, I would be like, wow. Like she, I feel seen.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I feel seen. Definitely more, definitely more than concert tickets. I think we agree on that. I would, I would do something less materialistic. I can buy my own tickets to Megan Trainor. I could see hosier. There's very few things I can't do for myself. And that's one of them.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah. Yeah. I agree. You can't. And you also can't compliment yourself. Otherwise, you're going to the looney bin. Next one is from Anonymous. Hey, good guys.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I'm a Canadian moron and swirley. This past summer, I started on a GLP1 journey, postpartum mom, it's been life-changing. My husband has been incredibly supportive and so happy for me as I have found such confidence and energy. Now, like many new dads, he has gained some weight. I personally don't care. I still think he's sexy at AF and will always adore him. But lately, he's been so down on himself. He says his clothes don't fit and he just doesn't feel good without a shirt on. I've mentioned a GLP1 is an option, but he insists it's just that he needs to work out harder. Now, living in Canada, there's a huge stigma still around GLP ones.
Starting point is 00:40:17 So help me out. How do I get him to see that a GLP1 isn't just for the postpartum moms or the diabetics or the severely obese individuals? I want him to know that regular good guys use them to love always, a Roman Catholic who wishes she was Jewish, BH, BH, BH, BH, BH. Wow, love you. What a great moron mail. First of all, your husband sounds fantastic. I would tell him, Josh, we both know this. Before we even get to the GLP discussion, you can't work out harder to lose weight. You have to eat less to lose weight. You've gained
Starting point is 00:40:55 weight and you're totally allowed to. Like my dad always jokes that he also had a baby when my mom had me. My dad gained like 200 pounds or something. There's a gorgeous, photo of him somewhere, just like at his peak weight when my mom is also at her peak weight. It just happens. If you're not like a schumuck like me, when your wife, when your wife is pregnant and you go on a gLP like me, like I didn't want that to happen. But it easily, for me, if I wasn't personally on Zepound or Ozempic or whatever it is, I'm positive. I would have gained 100 pounds. Like you're in the house more. You, are just, you're not as active.
Starting point is 00:41:37 It makes complete sense why a guy would gain a ton of weight. It makes complete sense. Now, to lose it, you either need to eat less food by yourself or make better choices with food by yourself. You cannot work out your food away. Well, you can. Working out helps. If you, if you, it would be hard, Josh.
Starting point is 00:41:56 It is hard. You're right. It would be really hard. If you increased your workout and kept eating the same in theory, but you're right, you're Right. In theory, but it would be much easier for him if you just cut a meal. Like, no longer eat dinner and you will lose weight. Like then, or cut portions in half. All of these things are done for you in my experience by taking a GLP. So I love them. They've changed my life. They're fantastic. And we have a great code with Roe. Shout out Ro. Rob. Body's a great place to do it. Love it. But, yeah, you can't do this for someone, though. Okay?
Starting point is 00:42:39 Like, if they want to, great. He now knows it's available. Maybe you'll play this clip for him. Maybe you won't. But there shouldn't. There's no stigma. Like, unless you're listening to other people's opinions, which are completely useless.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Like, you're going to do it. You don't need to tell anybody about it. You're going to lose weight. You're going to feel good. And if you're really into working out, then you're actually the perfect candidate for GLPs because the worst thing is when you have a person like me who hasn't gotten that itch in the gym and then they lose weight but they also lose muscle mass. If you're a gym rat, GLPs are great.
Starting point is 00:43:14 There's actually nothing. There's no downside in my opinion. So, yeah, good luck. Good luck. But he sounds great. What do you think, Josh? I think you just need to have a heart to heart, a Canadian heart to heart and be like, what are you so worried about?
Starting point is 00:43:31 Like. A bunch of goofs in fucking Saskatchewan judging you for doing Mungaro? Like, you got to stop it, eh? Like, you got to hit yourself once for Justin Trudeau. You know, do it for Wayne Gretzky, the great one, you know? Do it for the Bebs. Do it for Ryan Reynolds. And by the way, Ryan Gosling while you're at it, you know, from the great state of Nova Scotia,
Starting point is 00:44:01 the great province of Nova Scotia to flip in Winnipeg. Okay? And it's socialized medicine here. So it's basically free. Yeah, dude, just do it and don't tell anybody. Stop it. That was A plus.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Well done. God bless. You do it and don't tell anybody. Like Josh did. And like I did. I didn't tell anything for like a year. I'm on it right now. I haven't told a soul.
Starting point is 00:44:28 No. I do. I've been microdosing it again, and I love it. I think it's great. Okay, next one is from Trinity. Hey, good guys. I'm a vet tech, and a question that we've been asking everybody around the clinic is, pretend your pet has a disease and there is no treatment for it.
Starting point is 00:44:50 They are going to die 100% guarantee. However, the only way that you could save their life is if you lick their asshole. Are you going to do it? For me, personally, I've got four dogs, and there's only one whose asshole I would leg. Wow. Yeah, let me know. Thanks, Trinity. I'm so happy. We have such amazing vets in this country. That's the first vet I've heard from.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Oh, my God, Trinity, you're a gem. That said, Josh, I know who put a sandal up their butt, okay? It was Trinity and her vet tech pal. Okay, they're putting objects up their ears. Would I lick my dog's asshole one time to save his life? Yes. Sure. I would lick anyone's asshole once to save their life.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Unless I'm going to get a disease. Am I going to get a disease? Like, if I'm going to die, then it's not worth it. If it's just like you're licking because you're being asked to lick. I'm licking. Okay. Like, you need me to save your life. Call in the liquor. I'm here. I got a liquor license. Are you, are you, a license to lick. Oh. Are you licking? You're licking, Josh. You're licking. Even if it's not, veterinarians lick. Even if they have eczema, you know, what do you got? Josh, put down my chihuahua. He has eight.
Starting point is 00:46:33 D-D. Gross. It's so good. Do you want to, should we do a how about now? Having a good day, your rap has more calories than your sandwich. How about now? Yeah. Is that a good one?
Starting point is 00:46:52 That's great. Yeah. Your rap is killing you. Wait, having a good day, your salad has more calories than your sandwich. How about now? Facts. Dressing. Dressing.
Starting point is 00:47:03 season. Driesen. Yeah. Oh, oh, I like it with the dried fruit and a little crunchy crusties. It's 900 calories, hon. It's 900. It's on the menu. That was me today. That was me today. I got, I got my salad with candied walnuts. Oh, please. And crazons. Easily 500 calories, just in those two things. It was delicious, Josh. Oh, I'm sure. Delicious. Yes, and my beautiful GLP, I only had half of it. You want to get to what are your nuts? Yeah, sure. What are you nuts? Gripes with people, blazing things. with big and small, whatever, sticking in your craw. I was shopping for a new toilet seat, Josh. Okay?
Starting point is 00:47:38 And I went on Amazon. Just looked it up. Toto toilet seat. You ready for this, Josh? The options? New or used? Wow. I took a screenshot to send you.
Starting point is 00:47:50 What are you nuts? Who's buying a used toilet seat practically new? What does that mean practically new on Amazon? You can't sell used toilet seats. What are you nuts? It's disgusting. My Woody and Nuts is, oh my gosh, I just had it and then I lost it. Wouldn't you know?
Starting point is 00:48:11 Oh, my. It also would have been a good. How about now? Amazon selling used toilet seats. Just thinking. Yuck. My Woody and Nuts is mini golf with the fam. Took my boys mini golfing over the Christmas break.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Wonderful, good time. One of Max's favorite activities. Hey. If you're at mini. golf with a bunch of kids and you're an adult and there's other adults, you don't get to golf. What are you nuts? This shit takes forever. You've got four or five, six kids with you.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Be on crowd control and keep everyone moving. What are you nuts? Nuts and pick up the ball. Pick up the ball. Okay. You kid, he maxed out. Pick it up. And strokes.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Move on. I've seen it. It's no good. You can't have it. And people love to hit. Wait. The next person hits. The next person hits.
