Starting point is 00:00:00 The following podcast is a dear media production. I'm Josh Peck. And I'm Ben Sofer. And we're the good guys. There's a lot of guys out there. And we're the good ones. Mazum morons, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I'm sitting here with Kamala Harris' campaign manager and strategist.
Starting point is 00:00:21 It's Ben Safer. We got to talk about it a little. We didn't do it, Joe. We didn't do it. We didn't do it. You fucked. You fucked it. I really tried.
Starting point is 00:00:37 I tried really hard. I tried to appeal to America. And I fucked up. By the way, guys, we are not political. We're just hilarious, okay? I did my best. Like, that's it. I tried.
Starting point is 00:00:51 I tried and I failed. And you know what? That's America, right? Trial and error, Josh, trial and error. Whether Democratic or Republican, regardless of that, Like, I got to wonder what it looks like at night when you realize you're not going to do it. You're not getting the two-sev. And, like, at what point do you go, you know, I'm going to get going?
Starting point is 00:01:17 Well, I think it was 12.30 in the morning. Like, it was the saddest thing. Like, you watch that guy. I don't remember his name, get on stage at wherever the sort of Kamala watch party was. And he's like, yeah, she's asleep. I know you've been waiting eight hours for her to come, but it's not going to happen. And yeah, it's got to be disheartening. It's, I can't even imagine.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I guess, fortunately for her, she only had to do it for 100 days, which is still wild to me. But she was even able to do what she did in 100 days. It's awesome. It's, yeah, it was a great fight. It's, but yeah, look. It is what it is. It is what it is. It's a fascinating thing now because I don't know. Because, and this is, look, this is always the part of me.
Starting point is 00:02:14 And I think it's just because like I'm very proud to be American. And like I believe in the process. And so now I'm like, all right, whoever it was going to be, even if like, you know, RFK was in there being like, I've got a worm in my brain. But let's party. You voted me in. You know what I'm saying? Like now, like right now, the day after election day, I always go like, I'm in. Like, let's just, let's rally. And that, but that's, that's like being American. Like I was actually just talking
Starting point is 00:02:45 about that with somebody. Like, it doesn't matter to me. It really, like, swear to God, not a political statement, I don't mean that I am not an opinionated person when I say this. It does not matter to me who becomes president. Whether it was him, whether it was her, if you live in this country, you got to do your best. Like, I'm not going to wake up and be, oh, no, I'm so sad. No, I'm still, we're still podcasting. We're still laughing. We're still building. We're still doing. Right. Like, we take, we, we do our best. Like, whatever administration, whatever it is, like, we do our best. And it's, it's a new day. And I really, really hope it's an amazing four years. Why would I want anything else? Like, I hope it's an amazing four years. And that's not a political
Starting point is 00:03:30 statement. Like, I hope that if she had won, I hope it's an amazing four years. Because why would I root against America? I hope that we have the best four years we've ever had. And anybody that feels differently is not rooting for us, you know? Like, everybody. Like, we need to come together. Like, I actually, I saw, it's funny. Like, today is, it's like Dume's Day after tomorrow. I'm like looking on Instagram. And Andy Cohen put it perfectly. Like, he came on Instagram. And he's like, look, I fucking love this country. So you know what? I hope it's great.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Like, let's hope it's great. Let's hope it's great. Let's hope it's great. I always say that you don't want to win a war against your wife because you're still getting the same bed at night. You know? Like, when you get in a fight with your spouse, like you don't want to obliterate them.
Starting point is 00:04:24 You don't want to stand on business with the person who you've committed your life to when you have kids with and whatnot. And while I think it's easy to be like, well, it's some stranger I disagree with. So what a false comparison. But I'm like, yeah, but we're kind of all on the same subway car. Like we all share this thing. And so, you know, there's this old adage of like
Starting point is 00:04:48 when a war ends put down the guns and pick up the plows, right? Like it doesn't make sense to like gloat or, you know, whatever your side is. it's just like build like build together tell me it's it's especially dumb to gloat because you have no fucking clue what's going to happen i hate that yeah yeah my candidate won it's like yeah come to me in four years when they've fucked up like take like take accountability then okay because politicians no matter who you like are politicians and people are going to stand up and they're going to tell you that this is going to change and that's going to change and they're going to do this and they're
Starting point is 00:05:31 going to do that. And then in the end of the day, we will find out if any of that was true across the board. So when people celebrate, yeah, my candidate won, it's like, what are you celebrating? Like, nothing has happened. Nothing's here. Nothing's here. We still have, by the way, Kamala's still in the White House. She's going to be there for the next couple of months. Like, I've actually, I've never really thought about it, but like it's, it's pretty rare to have the current president running, like, they're both probably checked out. Or are they both really checked in? Like, are they like, I got three months to fuck shit up? Like, are we going to see something crazy? Or is it going to be like, I'm, I'm on a beach? Like, Joe Biden certainly doesn't care. Look, Marshall put in his
Starting point is 00:06:18 two weeks notice and they booted him the next day. So clearly, Yeah. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Yeah. If you liked that one? Yeah. I mean, I don't know who's totally.
Starting point is 00:06:35 So, yes, it's a new day. And I hope we all have a wonderful, not even four years. I hope America's awesome forever. I don't know. I wonder if like the president, no matter who they are once they've been voted out, but they have that three months a day after election day, they start to get a little insecure. And they're like, uh, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:06:55 Get me the president of Austria. And their secretary comes in and goes, he's not available right now, but they said they'll call you back. And he's like, shit. Shit. I'm losing a mojo. I mean, yeah, I think about it.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Like when you put it and you said two weeks, like when you know you're leaving a job, oh, baby, do you milk it? You're getting paid. You have the benefits. By the way, what do you think? What do you think? presidential health care package looks like.
Starting point is 00:07:29 What do you think that looks like? Wow. That's got to be top of the line, right? Like the best of the best, there's certainly no co-pays. Does it come? But we don't know that for sure. Do they get health benefits forever? We don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I have no idea. Is there a presidential pension of Pee? I'm more curious with what happens when you're in office. Like, what does your health care look like now? Like, does Kamala just have like a doctor on staff? Yes. Like is that, she does. It's sick.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Well, there's two people, right? There's an appointed position, the surgeon general, right? But then, yeah, like, remember Trump always had that doctor who was like, wild. Oh, yes. Yes. I do remember. Yes. Yeah, they have a doctor.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I'm pretty sure they have a doctor with them at all times. And they have to, like, give that report every year after their physical. And, um, yeah, where do you go for surgery? Do they go to a regular hospital? Walter Reed. Ah, so there's a presidential hospital. Yeah. And what does that?
Starting point is 00:08:35 It's a military hospital. But then I don't know. What about like who's their dentist? I think is there like a Dr. Finkelstein that like goes and, and visits the White House? Like, let me, let me give you a cleaning. Well, even more importantly, does Dr. Finkelstein look at Joe Biden and goes, now, here's your goody bag
Starting point is 00:08:56 with your toothbrush and you're you're not flossing Joe Joe Joe you've requested nitrous oxide five times this week I've always been tempted to do that although I feel like it would be like a me kind of seeking a freebie
Starting point is 00:09:16 which is the the nitrous fueled dentistry which you can pay extra for and basically you find the right dentist and they'll just give it to you. They say it is as they say it is the cat's meow, as they say. Yeah. That stuff is, ooh, baby.
Starting point is 00:09:34 I've, maybe I've had it once, actually. I have, I just got, you ever get like a flashback to an incredibly traumatic dental event? I had my wisdom teeth pulled Josh and they didn't knock me out. They gave me laughing gas. And I remember hearing the crunching of my teeth as they pulled them out piece by piece. You couldn't feel it, but you could, like, you could hear it. And you knew that they were in your mouth, but you couldn't feel the pain. Oh, I just got to shiver down my spine.
Starting point is 00:10:02 That's not as rare as you think. That's happened to a few friends. Like, they numb you, but they crack it and they pull it out and you hear it. Yeah. Yeah. Terrible. Terrible. I wonder what would have happened to my wisdom teeth.
Starting point is 00:10:16 They were apparently growing inward. So, like, they would have, like, pushed all my teeth. I would have been gorgeous. Oh my God.

This is Amanda Hirsch from the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast. You might know me from Not Skinny but Not Fat Podcast. but on Instagram where I spend my time talking about reality TV, celebrities, everything happening, and pop culture every Tuesday, okay?
Starting point is 00:13:57 I also talk to some of our favorite celebs and reality TV stars. We talk about what's going on. Tune in every Tuesday and just feel like you're talking a shit with your best friends in your living room. My buddy, I grew up with Dr. Serge Locott at West Valley oral surgery. Wow. He pulled my wisdom teeth. And so, and they were, they gave me the sedation in the office.
Starting point is 00:14:27 And so they first hit me with the nitrous before they put me out with like Propa Fall or whatever. And I was like, and if for anyone who knows who's done a little whippids, be it in a dentist office or in the backseat of their friends Ford Escort while listening to Van Anglin. Listen, I like to party. I, uh, I just, it makes your voice go super deep. And so I just remember.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And I felt so embarrassed. because, you know, I'm clean as a whistle now. But I just remember saying, Oh, I'm starting to feel it. And the nurse laughing at me. And I was like, shut up, nurse. And then I just, and then I was out, out, out, out, like a light. How long have you known Dr. Serge?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Since we were a kid, since we were teenagers. And like, isn't that a crazy thing when your friends grow up to be medical professionals? Like, I have a friend that he's now 32. He's like a full-blown heart surgeon because he's literally been studying. He's been in school till last week. Right. Like, literally, to be a heart surgeon,
Starting point is 00:15:35 you're in school for fucking 10 years post-college. Like, it's so much schooling. And then all of a sudden, you're like, hey, yeah, that kid that I did Whippets with is now operating on a heart. I know. It's wild. And you have to take that into consideration. and realize that even if the thing is most doctors you've had in your life
Starting point is 00:15:57 had a life before you met them. And if you knew, I mean, doctors fucking party, brother, because they all have God complexes and they have such crazy high anxiety in their job. They need to decompress. Every doctor I know is a fucking drinker. Yeah, we're also all just people. So like when you go to a professional, believe me, before they were a professional,
Starting point is 00:16:19 they were a crazy person just like you. Like, just remember that. You're looking at their Harvard, garbage, whatever the fuck it is on the wall. They didn't always go to Harvard. And maybe when they were there, they, I don't know, partied. Partied hard. I got sober at a meeting with this guy who was great. And he was in his 60s.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And he always called himself a physician, which I thought was fucking sick. I'm like, he's not a doctor. He's a physician. Chill. Pretty cool. Yeah, pretty cool. And he talked about when he went to med school. school and started his practice in the 60s and 70s, that drug companies would just send him
Starting point is 00:16:58 painkillers. Like they would just, you know, drug reps would give you samples and you could order a thousand samples of codeine or some of that good, good, a couple quailudes for yourself. And he's like, and yeah, I started to test them myself. And then eventually I had to go in front of a special medical board to reinstate my license. And then you have the movie Dope Sick. Have you seen Dope Sick? No, but it's about OxyContin and the Purdue family, right? Yeah, it's a wild story, man. It's just, it's really crazy. And just like the impact that these door-to-door farmer reps going to the doctors and then the doctors to the patients. And it sort of goes back to like, you trust a doctor because they're a doctor, but doctors are people and people are corrupt and it's just, it's wild.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Like they were literally just, you have a headache, Josh? Here's Oxy. And like, you never felt anything ever again. It's crazy. And the amount of money and, holy smokes. You know how hot it is in New York right now? Tell me, 78. That's how hot it is here. 78 degrees in November. Do you know how crazy that is? Nuts. It's gorgeous. It is gorgeous. But the problem is, in the blink of an eye,
Starting point is 00:18:24 it's all over. It'll be freezing and I'm going to get sick. One other thing, just because I haven't asked you, Daylight Savings. How do you feel about daylight savings, Josh? How do you feel about daylight savings? Listen, if we're not going to talk about politics here, we're not going daylight savings, okay?
Starting point is 00:18:41 I need to just know what it's like for you, to one day wake up, and now it's 5.30 on the East Coast. It's pitch black outside. Why? I will tell you this, but what I didn't realize is that otherwise, it's because I get up early now, right? So it's, I don't love that it's dark till 730 unless it's, unless you do daylight savings, right? So it's on both ends. If you, by the way, is daylight savings a political? Is that political? No, I'm kidding. I mean, okay. Yeah, yes, probably. I was like, really? But it's always on the ballot and it never wins.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Wait, it's on the ballot daylight savings? Yeah, sometimes people want to get rid of it. I had no idea. I mean, who put it in place anyways? And what is it even for? I think it was originally for farmers. And is that right, Olivia? Yeah, that's correct.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yo, Olivia, be knowing shit, speak on it, Olivia. Wait, but, wait, but Olivia, if it was for farmers, so you're saying sometimes, sometimes we want farmers, to wake up in the dark and sometimes we don't. Yeah, there is a little bit of a discrepancy there, it seems. No, but it was initially brought about, to my understanding, as like a way for farmers to maximize the day and not have to like work after dark.
Starting point is 00:20:01 But I just looked up daylight savings origin and it says it was first introduced in Germany in 1916 during World War I as an energy. Enough said, I'm out. I'm out. It was to confuse the Jew. Gustav, a lack of sunlight is very depressing. It's Uber depressing. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah, that doesn't make any sense, the farmer thing, because then I would advocate that farmers should, we should always have it be earlier so that they're always, they're always maximizing sunlight. Like, we don't need it for anything in particular. We might as well optimize it for our farmers. But it is optimized throughout like spring and summer. And I guess the idea is, is that this way they can start earlier in the day
Starting point is 00:20:52 and then, you know, finish at five as opposed to like having to wait till 830 to start tending, to start seating. But then why don't they always start at 5.30? Well, event at 5.30 you're saying? Yeah. Why wouldn't they always want to start on time? Because the sun comes up early in the spring and the summer. It comes up much earlier.
Starting point is 00:21:19 You know, not because of daylight savings? The days get longer. Oh my God. Ben. Is this? Oh, no. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:21:29 You have been sheltered over there on the Upper East side, my boy. Yes, I've been living in a bubble. I can't even see out my window. Okay, good. Okay. So the longer days get longer. Hold on. We're not going to gloss over this, kid.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Yes, yes, yes. Yes. The days get longer. I think I associated that with daylight savings, but that would make sense. Okay, clear, clear on that. Fine. How long? How does it take for the earth to go around the sun once?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Yes, 365 days. All right. Now, now my question is, so technically then. I'm just telling you, I've had this conversation with my five-year-old yesterday. No, but now we've gotten Josh to the real reason for daylight savings, which neither of you mentioned, which I think works. which is we are trying to balance the amount of daylight throughout the year. Would that be right? No, because it's the same.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Damn it. All right. Moving on. I told me this is political. We shouldn't have gone into this. I think it just has to do with the work day that people can start earlier and then end earlier if you have to do something in agriculture. Sure.
Starting point is 00:22:39 But what about us that want to just go outside at 5 o'clock for a nice walk and not be in pitch black? Right. But I think that was the issue with people going to work when it's dark at 7 a.m. Or like 8 a.m. I think that was part of it. That's interesting. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Okay. So I'm neither for nor against. I'm going to sit on the sidelines of this one. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Element.

Starting point is 00:28:51 there's a yucky factor. And then you also have to climb under houses, which really freaks me out. Yeah, you'd have to not be afraid of anything. Yeah. Human feces, dead fox. like you'd have to just like creepy crawlies you'd have to just be fine with it
Starting point is 00:29:08 fine with it all which like I am certainly not certainly not imagine fucking plumbing somebody else's big duty especially how little you like duty which is why I chose that word like there's like there's like a huge shit
Starting point is 00:29:23 you just like go into the dear media bathroom and like another co-host blew it up and you had to plum it and you had to plunge it oof yeah man does it make it better if I'm paying you a good wage. Yeah, I mean, I think, look, I think you can get good at anything.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Like, I think you can develop a mental callous for other people's poo if it's like putting your, you know, getting your kid in vassar. Pooh, poo poo. And baser. Oh. Like, so dumb. This is a worst spot. podcast ever made.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Alex Cooper doesn't even know we exist. It's so stupid. But we don't know she exists either. Fuck about us. Literally, Alex Pooper. Alex Pooper, Plumbing Incorporated. Oh, man. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Wait, I had something I wanted to talk about that I wrote down. Oh, oh, this is good. My friend, Pat, shout out my boy, Pat, just walked the Appalachian Trail. Are you familiar with the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail? I am not familiar with any trails. I am out on trails. I'm the antithesis of a trail. So my boy, Pat, he's the best.
Starting point is 00:31:04 He just walked. There are these two major trails on each coast of America. One, let me see, I'm going to get some exact facts. So the Pacific Coast Trail goes from Canada to Mexico, I know. Ooh, wow, that's a, that's long. The Appalachian, how long, where does the Appalachian trail start? Does the Appalachian? And this is basically, people decide that they're going to do it.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Usually, you know, you have to walk it. And you go, you know, it's, there's pretty much a town every day. day or every other day. So you're not, you don't have to be camping more than like a day or two. And then you can like stop off at a hostel, get some food, go into town, re-up on water and food. But okay, so the Appalachian, the appellation, where does the Appalachian beginning? Okay. So it starts in Springer Mountain, Georgia, and it ends in Cadden, Maine. And people walk it. And my buddy just walked it. It was through almost three, thousand. It was like 2400 miles.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Holy shit. And he did it in five and a half months. And like did he like sleep along the trail? Like like how did that? Like where'd he eat? Right. Are there restaurants on the trail? I wish you were here so we could just call him. So it was fascinating. He was telling me about it. He said that yeah, every other day he would basically be into town, sometimes every day. and he's like, I would wake up, like, when the sun came up at 5.30, 6 in the morning, so you got to do it in the summer, otherwise it's too cold. And he's like, I would try to get like 10 miles done, which would be like three or four hours.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And then by 11, I'm in a town, right? So then I'll go to a diner and I'll get like a big meal and I'll chill out and try to like use the Wi-Fi and all that. So I'll have like a long meal for two or three hours. and then maybe I'll go and walk like another four hours. And then either I go to bed on the trail or I find a hostel. And he's like, and I did that like six days a week, 20 miles, 20 to 25 miles a day. Holy crap. And how do you know, Pat?
Starting point is 00:33:25 I know, Pat. We worked together on a movie on that Al Pacino movie I did called Danny Collins. And then funny enough, he worked on the show I did with John Stamos and he became John's assistant. and then we just became, you know, we've just been good friends. He's a young dude. He's like 30 years old. So it's perfect for him. It's just so impressive.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Like that is, that is unbelievable. We're out here celebrating the New York City Marathon this past weekend. That's nothing. Pat runs a marathon every day. Every, I mean, if I didn't have kids, like, I would, I'd be all about it. I do, I just don't want to camp. The camping part sounds awful. I was going to say, you wouldn't be all about it.
Starting point is 00:34:04 You know how bad you'd smell? Like, he said you stink. Yeah, I couldn't do that. I can't. Like, I just, five and a half months. I like, no, sorry. But I would love to do it for like a couple of days. I like a short camping trip.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Camping's fun. I like being in the elements. I like a nice kayaking with a nice river. You like a camping errand. Not a trip. Correct. Correct. Correct.
Starting point is 00:34:30 But I like a regular, like I'll sleep in like a sleeping bag in a tent. I don't need glamping. I like a camping. real camping for a night. Five and a half months. You can sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag. Oh, yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can. Olivia, can you? I, to be honest, I bring an air mattress every time I go camping. Word up. By the way, that's just the responsible choice. Like, there's no reason to not do that. Like, that's a good move.
Starting point is 00:35:02 But, like, I'm acting as if I camp often. I've camped. I've done it. I don't know if I'm like a camper, but I've camped. Yeah, I don't, I've never camped and I don't, I mean,
Starting point is 00:35:18 I just think I would need just a very thin piece of, of, you know, some kind of like an inflatable mattress or just like a bit of a pad right on the floor. Dude,
Starting point is 00:35:30 that used to fuck me up at sleepovers. Oh, let's talk about this. If you go over to a kid, house when you're eight years old and they're like and I'd be like where's the bed dog and he'd be like you're looking you're standing on it and I'd be like what where am I going to plug in my nebulizer like first of all I need a station I'm going to have to do I'm going to do a full nebulizer treatment before I go to bed and you're talking to I'm to sleep on the floor like the dust in here I'm going to be in
Starting point is 00:35:56 I'm I'm going to freak out so I had a friend who who lived on it was on 23rd in the FDR drive I I forget what the names of those buildings are. It's called Waterside. Waterside. Yes, I used to go there too. And so I had a friend that lived in Waterside. And I would, like, the first time I ever slept at his house, I knew he had what was called a trundle bed.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Oh, Trundle Bed. Oh, Trundle's. They pull out from under the bed. That said, I don't think this trundle bed had been used in 50 years. This was the original trundle bed. I remember I pulled out this trundle bed. The bed was made. The sheets probably hadn't been done since the original trundel bed was made.
Starting point is 00:36:43 It was covered in like wood chips and dust from like the bottom of the bed. I remember heaving all night long because again, as a fat boy, like, you can't be in a dusty bed. And I'm there with my Honeywell fan that I bring everywhere with me. And the Honeywell is just sprung. spraying the dust in my face. And it's just like such a double-edged sword because do you shut the Honeywell fan and then you're hot and in dust or do you keep the Honeywell fan on? But then you're cold and you're in dust.
Starting point is 00:37:16 So, yeah, wow. But yeah, don't invite me over to your house if there's nowhere to sleep. Okay? Or share the bed. I'll share the bed with you. If Kate says bed, sure. But no, it was normally a twin. I'm not sleeping on your floor.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Totally with you. Or your couch. Fuck that. I don't even mind. I don't even mind a couch, but it's like, it's got to be a, like, it's got to be a, like, a fabric or a, you mean like a sleeper sofa. You're not talking about like a random, you're not sleeping on a couch. It's not good. It hurts your back.
Starting point is 00:37:46 If I had to sleep on a couch, I could. I don't want to sleep on a leather couch. No things. Did I feel like I'm in a porn in the 80s? And you're going to wake up and your thigh is going to, like, be bleeding when you tear it from the leather. Oh, my God. That would be horrible. Horrible.
Starting point is 00:38:03 But like I remember, dude, do you remember in the 90s when kids would, with the advent of the like the rooms plus high end bunk bed where kids would like have a loft bed with their desk built in under it? Like they were like a fucking sophomore at Wesleyan. I'm like, you're 11 and your name is Jim. Like, how do you have this? I don't know, but those kids were always strange. I never knew.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I never knew a normal kid that had that. No, never knew a normal kid that had that. no I never had that I never had a headboard either were you a headboard person uh no I I always had it like the standard metal frame
Starting point is 00:38:42 that came for free with the box spring metal frame box spring bed but never a headboard I remember like the the first time that Claudia and I like ever like slept in the same bed she's like you don't have a headboard and then I was like oh you know time to grow up and get a headboard
Starting point is 00:38:59 headboards are never a thing yeah headboards were never a thing But now it's like, how the fuck do I sleep without a headboard? My pillow would fall behind my bed all the time. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by Skims. Folks, I'm not going to lie to you. When I found out that Skims was making men's, I was like, thank the Lord. All that I keep hearing forever, Claudia, her sisters, everybody literally lives in Skims.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And this stuff is so soft. I felt that it's so soft. I've been thinking to myself, why can't they make men stuff? Well, folks, they have made men's stuff. stuff. Thank God, and they need men's underwear, which I don't have to tell you, are typically very, very uncomfortable. They don't care about the fabric at all. And these skims are A plus. I absolutely love them. I started by trying their cotton five-inch boxer brief, which mimics what I've been wearing in the past, but is so much softer. When I think about underwear, I'm looking
Starting point is 00:39:55 for a large waistband, it's a nice stretch, really soft. You know, I like to maybe wear my underwear a little bit higher than most, really tuck in those sides. And Skimms allows me to do that. It's not shapewear, but it really, really does work with shapewear. They're just great pairs of underwear that are incredibly versatile, incredibly soft. The fabric is absolutely unbelievable. And look, you hate, don't lie to me, you hate the way that your underwear feels right now. It doesn't work. You have to keep replacing it. The bands are crappy. Maybe it's tight in areas that it shouldn't be tight in, wink, wink, wink. You know, try Skims.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Absolutely give it a try. I think their underwear is fantastic, and I think you will too. So shop Skimsmen's at skims.com, and let them know we sent you.

Starting point is 00:41:09 when a young person goes through puberty and they start to discover things about themselves, I just remember that sleepovers around then stopped for me. I was like, mm-mm. It's sleepovers didn't stop, but the other thing also didn't stop. that seed that was a line in the sand i'm like you know i'm gonna say if i got to be if i got to you know feel if you got to go to the bathroom for the next 28 minutes just just know they
Starting point is 00:41:39 when you were at lenn's house and you thought he was asleep len was yanking that oh no thanks 13 year old len was cranking no way dude i remember i dude i remember an old friend of mine when we lived in Florida was like going at himself like look we're 12, 13 years old. You're so horny. Like it just, it is what it is. Well, I told his parents in the next year he went to school in Utah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Oh, my God. Yeah, dude, he had to go to a behavioral camp and I was like, good. You told his parents? I told my mom. I told my mom and she ran it out. that big mouth. Oh, bar. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:42:28 Big mouth. She'd be like, what? That's horrible. I'm going to windex your eyeballs. Oh, man. Yeah. Yucky. As you would say,
Starting point is 00:42:46 yucky. We're yucky. We're fucking gross. This is really bad. Should we get to a speak pipe? Yeah. Speaking of really bad, fucking right, make better speak pipes. They're not awesome.
Starting point is 00:43:01 I'm disappointed in the morons. Do you think, honestly, do you think that they would feel better if they could write in? I've asked this question before. Do you think we'd get better responses if it was an email or no? I mean, I'm down to try. I mean, all I know is these fucking suck. We get like a million of them a week and we pull the only two that are. reusable. So do better. Yeah, you got to get wild and be anonymous. Like, it's all good.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Oh, by the way, be anonymous and lie. You ever thought of something that was really funny? Pretend right into us. It doesn't have to be real. Who cares? This is all for comedic relief. Doesn't have to be real. So you thought of a waddy and nuts, but it didn't actually happen. Just do it. And if you're worried about people recognizing you just put on an accent and be like, right, so I was sleeping with my dad's best friend. And I was like, Jolio. you know, Kwame, what are we doing? My father's going to be right, oh, mad. I'm watching Harry Potter right now.
Starting point is 00:44:06 You just sound like, you sound like Ron Weasley. Not you, not Hermione. Wait, not me, not Hermione. Yo! So good. All right. So good. If you want to leave us a message, you want to get our advice, you have a question for us.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Go to speakpipe.com slash good guys, and we will answer it on the show if it's good. Keep a brief brevity's key. Let's hear from someone. Hey, good guys. I love your take on wedding food. My fiance and I aren't really sure if we want to do the typical wedding dinner, chicken, fish, choice, aside. You know, this guy that does homemade on the spot, Woodfire oven pizzas. He brings his own woodfire oven.
Starting point is 00:44:52 You can do as many pizzas as you want, whatever kind you want. to my vegan friends would be accounted for. He also does display of roasted vegetables. That's fun and great. But is that nuts to do Woodfire Pizza is at a wedding, or is that pretty awesome? I think that spending money on something that you're not pumped about is just a bad call.
Starting point is 00:45:18 So if the meat and fish don't sound fun to you, go Woodfire pizza. I think it's all personal preference. I think that sounds fantastic. that said, I now am picturing like slick Rick with his woodfire pizza that he keeps in the trunk. And he like brings out, you're like, yeah, it's this one guy that has a pizza of and like maybe hire like a company. Maybe not just Rick that's making his vegan pizzas and he's going one by one and he has 300 guests. That sounds like a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:45:45 But I like the idea of pizza. That's fun. Yes, I agree. I love, listen, there's nothing better than a station at an event. And especially a not overrun station. You can't go wrong throwing in one more bar than you think you're going to need and having a couple stations, a sushi stage, a pasta bar, you know, woodfire pizza. And just let people peruse, right? The buffet is the greatest invention that we have somehow made not awesome.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I don't know why. It should be, it should be the gold standard. That's right. You get, you get to come to my restaurant and eat as much as you want. That is the gold standard. Somehow it's been flipped where if you go to a buffet, it's, it's cheap. Beneath, it's crap. Beneath you.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Beneath you. No, it's a dream. I go to a wedding and there's station. I can take as much as I want, when I want. That's it. I love a buffet. Love it. And you mix in a nice buffet with a nice omelet station.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Oh, baby. You're cooking. It's fantastic. It's peak innovation. I agree. Listen, at my wonderful nephew, Jonas Bar Mitzvah, he loves breakfast food. And it was like an early bar mitzvah. So it was like one of those like midday bar mitzvah.
Starting point is 00:47:24 brunchy type things at the shul. Oh my God. He had a waffle station, a pancake station, omelets, all these beautiful. And then he had like some pasta bars and stuff, but it was, it was inspired. It's amazing. How is Jonah? Is he in prison yet or he's fine? Jonah's the best. Jonah's crushing it. He goes to a state school in Florida and he's having the time of his life. Yeah. It was great. Jonah was great. I had the great pleasure of meeting Jonah at the Rosen Schingle Institute. It was fantastic. Should we get to our
Starting point is 00:48:01 the Rosen Schingle Institute for Underprivile Jews? My father has Rosen Shingles. Oh my God. Is he okay? No, no, it's not a negative with us. It's good.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Yes. Should we get to our Woody and Nuts? Yes. Yes, we should. So our Woody Nuts moment a week is our gripes of people, places, and things, whatever's currently sticking in our craw, big or small. I'll start. Mine is, uh, so fucking Tesla, they announce or they do an update in the car where the car
Starting point is 00:48:46 can park itself. Brilliant. I mean, the technology in these cars, Tesla, Elon Musk is unmatched. When it comes to this stuff, he crushes. So this thing for days, basically what happens is as you go into a parking lot, all the spots appear on the screen, and then it'll have a pee in each spot.
Starting point is 00:49:06 You click that pee. It goes, you ready, babe? I go take over tests, and suddenly, and you want to talk about classy, it backs into the spot. It backs in. Wow. You back in on your own?
Starting point is 00:49:20 Never. Not never. I do. I do. I do. I do. Most don't. I do. I know you're the son of a valet. What else? Son of a ballet. So I'm doing it left and right. It's so darn cool. So finally, my wife and my son are in the car and I'm like, oh, good. I can't wait to show them. So this time I do one where it's going to park next, like park next to a curb. It's not a parking spot. We're on the car. the street. It's going to, and it says, would you like to park next to the curb? We're ready to go.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Hit the P. Go start. So my wife and my son are sitting in the back seat. So I hit start and I turn to them like this and I go, hey guys. And they're like, what are you doing? And the wheels turning and the car is going in. They're like, keep your eyes on the road. What are you doing? I'm like, I don't know. And I'm just looking at them and all of a sudden you hear, boom. The car, drove into the curb, road rash the fuck out of my wheel. Totally. Dude, Tesla, what's going on? I'm a fan.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Dog, get it together. I did everything right. The trust is broken. What are you nuts? That's bad. That's bad. No, you got to, if you're going to advertise that you can self-park, you can't crash your car. That's bad.
Starting point is 00:50:53 It didn't, you know, it didn't hit a car. Like it just is road rash on the wheel, which is like a $50, $100 fix. It's not the end of the world, but it broke my trust. And that costs way more. Yeah. What if that wasn't a curb? What if it was your wife's foot? Totally.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Her beautiful size 12s. Just kidding. My wife doesn't have massive. Could you imagine? It's the worst podcast. This is bad. We got to end it. Ben,
Starting point is 00:51:47 we got to end it. I'll end it. I'm ending. We have to end the podcast. These are final. This is our farewell. Let's send our listeners to, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Okay. One final. What are you not? One final. What are you nuts? Before we end the podcast, forever. Just to clarify, she's a size eight. We just forgot me.
Starting point is 00:52:14 My wedding and that's moment. It's rare these days, but they just put one in LaGuardia is the public airport piano. Oh my God. You are giving passengers too much credit. There is no great composer. People using this piano are bad at playing piano. I don't want to hear it. It doesn't belong.
Starting point is 00:52:46 What are you nuts? It does not belong. Folks, oh my God. I'm crying, laughing. You probably are two, five stars. Otherwise, what are you nuts? Listen to us on Spotify, Apple, wherever you get your podcast. Watch us on Josh's YouTube.
