Good Guys - We Solved Food Delivery & Found the World's Weirdest GoFundMe

Episode Date: July 9, 2026

Mazel Morons! This week we break down Ben's disastrous haircut, debate the perfect pool temperature during New York's heat wave, and plan the most overcomplicated pizza order in birthday party history. Then things go off the rails: Josh discovers Ben ordered omakase for delivery (meshugga), which somehow leads to a full pitch for a Benihana delivery service, complete with mini onion volcanos, apartment fires on the Upper East Side, and the inevitable question - is there a market for kosher hibachi? Plus: the diet soda volume problem nobody's talking about, Wingstop's new Chamoy Tajín flavor, the philosophy of black coffee vs. Splenda (Josh is very passionate about this), and a GoFundMe story that you truly have to hear to believe.

The following podcast is a dear media production. Two Jews, 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 not the great guys. We're just so good a good guy.

Maltzumorans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. Josh, I went to my barber this morning because, as you know, I got like probably the world's worst haircut like three and a half weeks ago in Boca. And I sat down in the chair and he's like, so what do you want? And I'm like, you know, just like I got a bad haircut a couple weeks ago. I just like want to reset. And he has this thick, thick accent, maybe Romanian. So you want me to make it a little bit less eggish. And I said, yeah, I would like you to make.

my head a little bit less eggish. And he said, okay, so we're going to have to grow in the sides. But in the meantime, I will flatten the top. And I said, okay. So he's slightly flatten the top. But it seems as though in roughly four weeks, I will redo an impulse decision from three weeks ago. It was completely unnecessary.

And I just thought you'd like to know that. I thought he was going to say, you want me to make it a little less eggish? And you go, yeah. Yeah. And he goes, you're going to need a craniotomy. He also ruined my week and told me that Friday, July 3rd is going to be 1001 degrees in New York. Oh, have you heard of what term they're using? It's going to be a heat dome.

It's going to be a dome of heat. 101 in New York for those that don't live in New York. York and have never been in New York is not even like 120 where you live. 101 in New York, people are going to die. Like, I hope not, but people are probably going to die. That's way too fucking hot, okay? Way too hot. If we controlled the weather, just another reason, okay, all your stereotypes against the

Jews, if we controlled the weather, it would never sniff 80. Never. Okay? ever. We would permanently operate between 65 and 78 always. You think if the Jews controlled the weather we'd allow hail? No, we don't like the hell. Frozen rocks from the sky. We'd be like, maish, more hail.

Yeah. No, hail's no good. No, we like just simple, Josh. We're simple people. We like to go outside. Yeah. We don't like to feel. You don't want to feel the weather.

If you feel it, there's a problem. You want to exist in it. It's like when you go into a pool, Josh. If you feel that it's cold, too cold. If you feel that it's hot, too hot. If you feel nothing, bellissimo. What's the perfect pool temp? I'm going to say 81.

For me, I just lied. I'm psycho. I like a cold. I like to jump in. and I like to feel it. Yeah. But really? Most people, yeah.

So our body temperature is it 98th. Where do you start to really feel it? Like, is 81 cold? I think, would it feel cold? No, I think like when you start getting into the 86s, you feel like you're in a bath. Like, I think you want high 70s, low 80s. I think that sounds beautiful. Cold plunge, the upper end of a cold plunge would be like 58 to 60.

And that's pretty cold. So I don't think you want anything in the 60s. I think a high 70s. I think you said 81. That sounds lovely. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds lovely.

When was the last time you were in a lake? Not soon enough, my boy, not soon enough. I can't even tell you what late. You know, we have them in California, but we're not a lake society. You know, we have Lake Kavisoo. I'll tell you, I guess I do know, Lake Tahoe, which is probably the most stunning lake in this great country. Beautiful.

But it is frigid because it's a glacier runoff. So it's probably between 55 and 60. It's a coal plunge. That's also a, that's like a beautiful lake. When I think a lake, I think like some of these New York lakes, they're not so beautiful. No. Okay. They're swampy.

You should really call them a swamp. Yeah. When was the last time you were in a swamp? Never. Ideally. Okay. Okay. No, that's fair.

I'm just, we're thinking about bodies of water. Should we move on to the ocean? When was the last time you were in the ocean? Yesterday. How was? Oh, my God. Well, it was the Great Myers first birthday. God bless him.

Yes, happy birthday to the sweet boy. To the sweet one-year-old boy. So we lived by the beach. We had a very low key, very low maintenance. One first birthday for Young Meyer. It was beautiful. We had, but like, you know, me, I'm from New Jersey. You know, my people, when I think of.

party. I think tanning oil. I think, you know, tall cans of beer and paper bags. I think men with tattoos and women with co-cut with mayonnaise and and mustard on the edges of overly done up lips, overly lip-skipped lips. But no, this is not it. Not with my family, not these beach people. Did you picnic? What do we eat? What are we eating? What's the spread of the? the birthday party by the beach. We had gorgeous prime pizza, the best pizza in L.A., some might say. Many different kinds. I was in charge of this.

I did a nice order, okay? We did one gram a pie with spicy pepperoni. Calabrian chilies from Calabria. You heard of this place? These collaborating chilies, they have a wonderful public relations person. Okay? Unreal. I'm just saying it used to just be chilies.

Fresno. Fresno used to be the big chili. Now all of a sudden, it's Calabrian or bus? When was the last time you heard somebody talk about a Fresno chili? I don't know, but I'd take it in a second. I'd take a Bakersfield chili if they had. This is what I'm saying. Gone.

Fresno. See you later. Collaborian. In. I'd like a nice chili from Sarasota if they could make it. A Sarasotan chili. It's fantastic. Sarasotans.

Sarasotans. So, okay, so we start out with that. Then we had cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza for the children. These are standard. And then this is the real hack. You don't do eight slices. You do 16. You do this double cut, right?

Yes, of course. Of course, you do. Of course. Because that way they can feel like they had three slices. Totally. It's fantastic. The order should be school pizza party style. Right?

Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Then we did a vegan grandma pie, like a Sicilian cut pie for, you know, my lovely wife and whoever else is, you know, my sugar like her. And then we did a Supreme. We did a vodka pie. And then my- How many people were there? Three.

And then we did, no. 10? Probably 15. We had two and a half pies left. You had eight pies left. You had eight pies for 15 people. Six. I just want you to know, Josh, this is the only way to fucking do it.

Yeah. Okay? This is the only way to do it. We had people over Saturday night. Crazy night we played mahjong until nine. Oh, my God. And I ordered, I ordered like $400 in sushi. It's four people.

There was a little bit left over. Let me tell you, Josh, you come to my house and you finish sushi. And I think you're still hungry. I'm going to be thinking about that until the next time you come over. And then they're like, can I Venmo you? Why are you insulting me? Can you Venmo me? Get out of here.

If anybody at that party comes up to you and says, can I Venmo you for pizza? It's insulting, isn't it, Josh? It's insulting. But it's different. Your money's no good here. This is a party, though. This is a birthday party. If someone came over for dinner, I think what you're doing is right.

But I would, I also, if I went over to someone's house for like a dinner like that, and it was $400 in sushi. He said, can I throw you $100, $150? And they were like, sure, I wouldn't be offended. If they said, sure, I'd be offended. Because you didn't get any opportunity to order. That's not right. Maybe you wouldn't have ordered $400.

Maybe you wouldn't have splurge for the omicasse. Maybe you wouldn't have gotten three extra spicy two rolls. You ordered to go omacase? What are you nuts? Yeah, I did, Judge. Yeah, I did. It's actually, the cheaper level is called sushi dinner, but it's suspectively the same thing.

pieces. You don't really know what they're doing. You're writing kosher style, so there's no shellfish. And let me tell you, oh my God, sushi sake. Upper East Side. They have a spicy mayonnaise, this spicy mayo. The thing is, sushi for me, it has to be great sushi, but it really is just a vessel to the mayo. That's it. That's it. It's kind of like, it's upsetting like a spinach artichoke dip, you know? No, it's not. You don't really need the tortilla, you know? No, you're wrong. You just go straight to the dip. No, it's not. You take a spoon and you just go, I don't really need the fish. Next time I should really just order a small court container of the spicy mayonnaise. Jero.

Jero dreams of sushi just had a heart attack listening to this. And I say, hold the fish. Mayo, hold the fish. Hey, what a beautiful birthday party, Josh. I'm still stuck on that you're ordering amicassee to the house. Oh, my God. Like that is such a because half of the, here's the thing about Amacasi, right? It's a temperature play.

It's a delivery play, right? A lot of times they will literally make the bite and they do the thing when they over, they fondle the rice. Listen, all, listen, you're all freaks, you use sushi chefs. They fondle the rice. And it's a warm rice and the cold fish and they go, no soy sauce on this one right in the mouth. Right? So you're foregoing half of that.

but paying full retail. Amucasi to the house is fucking my sugar. What are you, a Saudi prince? Who orders Al Qazi to the house? By the way, when it comes to ordering in food, Josh. It's like ordering Benahamas to go. I'm a Saudi prince. If I could ensure a quality experience, Josh, on the Benihana.

Now, how would Benihana do to go? Think of Benihana. They should have done this during COVID, okay? Because everybody really figured it out during COVID the Togo experience. They really up their game. Nobu never delivered. Now they deliver because of COVID. They make it beautiful.

Imagine they give you, Josh, just like a little cast iron mini little grill or something. No. Benihana delivers it just like that. And you get at your home, you get the full Benahana experience. And you know those Tonys? the kids toy. They have a Benihana sushi chef that you put on the Tony

and he gets to listen to him talk. He's speaking while you eat your your beautiful habachi. I'm just saying, Josh, this is one of the worst business ideas. Ever. Ever. There would be so many apartments

on the upper rest. There'd be so many apartments on the Upper East Side set ablaze. Burn to the ground by people trying to make their own. onion towers. Oh my God.

Oh, they got the extinguant fire! It's like a poo-poo platter to go. It comes on fire. Oh, my God. Oh, wow. Wow. What a great, what a great time that would be.

I do want. A great last time. Great last meal. Yeah, one and only. I told you, I want to do, I, you know, we bought a blackstone. So now I have gorgeous. My house is like a waffle. house, okay? I'm like a short order

cook. Ding, ding, orders up. And, but I want to do, we've done breakfast, we've done smash burgers, you know, typical fair. Classic. I want to do habachi. And I'm wondering how I'd go about that. Habachi's fantastic. You could do fajitas.

You want to have a nice taco night, Josh. Okay, you put fajitas on the black stones. Fantastic. You put a little steak to you do steak, you do chicken, you do those beautiful roasted vegetables. It's the same thing. By the way, Fahitas are Mexican. Habachi.

Habachi. No difference. Just different flavors. Different, different spices. By the way, why? Oh, my God, I have the best idea. Why don't we make a Mexican restaurant that serves fajitas habachi style? Hell yes.

You've eight people around a table. Love that. And you're ordering. Sick. Tacos. They bring over a guacca. Oh, yeah. This is, by the way, this is a great idea.

I know. I can't believe we came up with it. What do we call it? Benahanas, Benahanas, Rocky Benahana named after the guy, named after Steve Aoki's dad. Maybe we name it after another DJ. Diplo's. Okay, diplos. As long as he's funding it.

What's Diplo's dad's name? Mr. Diplos. Dip shit. Dip. Um, fuck, what's another one? Dip high. Um, okay. Uh, what's another?

Yeah. No, we just need like a really badash, bad ass, bad ass Mexican person. Who's like the king of who's like the most prominent Mexican person? Ah, I mean, there, uh, man. George Lopez? Sure. Sure. Oh, that's good.

We can unless George Lopez. I'm trying to think of wonderful. I mean, there's so many, Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez and Lopez. That'd be grinned. I love it. I love it.

I love it. This is an amazing idea. We're going to work on the celebrity partner. We're going to work on the name. Great. But just so you guys know. I think there's no work left to be done. I think we got it.

We cracked it. Maybe coming to a tier three. city near you in 29, Mexican habachi. Mexican habachi and Modesto. We can't try it here.

We'll get eating alive. We're just going to, we're going to open one in Oklahoma City. There's going to be a Mexican Habachi next to your local big lots. Or, or we could just rent half of like a low performing Benahana.

Yeah. And we put up a curtain. And it's like, You are now entering Spanish Benihana. Ooh, baby. I love it. Do you know there's off-brand Habachi? Like in the Valley in L.A., we have Yamato's, which is just Benahanas, but Yamato's.

Josh, do you know that if you go to Borough Park, there is kosher habachi? Really? Oh, yeah, plenty. And they have kosher sake, and they're sake me, sake you, and they're spread. The Jews love Habachi, and there are plenty of, plenty of kosherabachi spots in Brooklyn. Except the kosherabachi spot is called. Benny and Hannes It's

It's Benny Benny Ghanes It's so good It's so dumb It's so good Oh man

Oh my God Benny Ganas We need to make Benny Ganas If that doesn't exist Oh my God That's so good Coming to a tier three city near you, glott kosher, Benichanas for the people of Birmingham, Alabama.

Yeah. It'll crush. It'll crush. Glott kosher habachi with TSA level security to get in. Benichanas. Just a giant target. Welcome to Benichana. Benichanas is the funniest thing you've ever said.

Benichana. So when he, when. Now that the summer is upon us, Manhattan's going to be in a heat dome. Are you making your yearly sojourn to the beautiful Hamptons? Oh, yeah. We start our walk this evening. I'll be walking there. Yes.

A nice hundred miles. I should arrive around Wednesday. And let me tell you, Josh, I'm so unbelievably excited. It's just like farm stands and rolling hills and Mr. Ruby and a pool and a grill and it's just what the doctor ordered. I cannot wait. I cannot wait. And do you need time?

Yeah, this is my time. This is my time where I really just like I love cooking during the summer. Yeah. Where I really just like settle in.

First of all, it's the summer. I'm ready to enjoy myself, but I need a cold drink to define me. So I'm all in just a disclaimer. Go, Ben.

This tropical butterfly refresher is honestly like an award-winning painting. I've never seen anything like it. I feel like I'm in East Hampton. It's 8 o'clock. I turned to my wife. I said, let's go to the beach. Let's prioritize us. And all of a sudden, I see this drink.

This is, this is it, Josh. This is a happy summer. This is a happy summer. And you know what? You're in East Hampton. I'm in the carpool line at my kids camp. My wife's frustrated with me. We've been dealing with I can't tell you what.

But the truth is, I go, I need a little something to pep up my day. Tropical refresher. Boom. It's gorgeous. This is the pep in my step that I need. Josh, can we give this a taste? Let me try this. Too late.

Too late. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It is so freaking good. Oh my God, it is so good.

Are you getting those guava and passion fruit flavors coming through? That's exactly what I'm getting. This is guava and passion fruit. You know what? They are actually, I think they're mango pineapple flavored pearls. Oh my god. Oh my god. I mean, it makes drinking fun, right?

Like I'm so tired of just like hitting the straw, getting the liquid. I want a little something like a little surprise, you know? This is the most delicious drink I've ever had. And if you want yours, you can order it on the store. Starbucks app. Every day I wake up, I put my order on the app. I go there, it's ready. This was literally ready. This drink is literally your summer cheat code. It's tropical, it's refreshing, like us. I got a nice thank you here. Sometimes I get a, you know, like a little inspirational quote. Oh, Starbucks, wow. Delicious. So good. Unlock all the best summer

memories with the tropical butterfly refresher at Starbucks. Do you need time to, I guess now that you live in Florida for part of the year, you've kind of embrace the slower suburban lifestyle. But do you need time once you get to like the Hamptons to decompress and like get sort of that city energy out? I think that now that I spend so much time in Florida, I crave that. Like I'm in this, I'm in this concrete jungle. Just stressing.

Just like figuring out when can I slow. the hell down. Yeah. So, no, it's, it's more so like, I feel like once I'm there, it's gonna, just like a deep breath. Not everything's so urgent.

Not everything so far. I don't know. I'm just excited. They have the best coffee, Hampton Coffee Company. I finally, Josh, I finally found great coffee. And I know New York City.

I should be able to find great coffee ever here. I'm a very specific guy, as you know. I'm looking for just like a nice hazel nut ice coffee. Not syrup. It's a steeped bean. I found Butterfield in New York. It's amazing. And out there, it's called Hampton Coffee Company.

If you haven't been, check them out. Phenomenal. Phenomenal hazelnut coffee. I don't want the sugar, Josh. I don't want the sugar-free syrup either. I don't want any of that. Just steep my beans and a little bit of hazelnut. And then I can drink it black.

You like hazelnut coffee? Oh, yeah. I'm down to clown for all flavored coffees. And I think you need to, I think, growing up and becoming a man is realizing that black coffee is the only way to drink it. I agree with you. I am basically at, even when I have milk, it's a tablespoon of whole milk. And what does that do for you, that little amount of milk? I think that it just like slightly changes the color and taste, but maybe it doesn't.

And maybe just black coffee, one splendor is all I need. Oh, so you're adding Splenda. Big time. Yeah, you. Big time. Sure. You, big pussy. Big time.

You know what? I'm going to try just black hazelnut. And I'll call you when I've climbed a tree and I need your help getting down. Okay? No, Splenda, no milk, no nothing. I'll be on the roof. I do basically what I do because I ingest too much caffeine. I wake up, I crack open an ice cold energy drink.

Ooh. Nice. What's your energy drink? of choice. I'll do it. I love a ghost. I love an alani. I love the great prime. I think prime makes a wonderful array of beverages. What do you think about Celsius? Celsius? Celsius? I fucks with Celsius. Sure. Yeah, they're pretty good. I had their kiwi strawberry flavor recently. And I'm not a huge energy drink guy. It's delicious. My wife, the only energy she drinks and she drinks it every day is a kiwi guava Celsius. The only flavor she enjoys. That's a nice flavor.

or Kiwi strawberry? Kiwi guava, is that what you said? Kiwi guava. Kiwi guava. That's how you know, by the way, that you're a very, very large, successful beverage company when you've dabbled into a flavor

called Kiwi Guava. Yeah. That means that they have, yeah, because that's like what, the hundredth concoction you'd think of. We're starting an energy drink company. You start with first the baseline flavors. Strawberry, raspberry,

the single flavors. Then maybe you'd go strawberry kiwi. To get to strawberry guava, it's got to be your hundredth. Just saying. Growing up this in New York, you remember when Snapple dropped? Of course.

It was the greatest. It was the greatest. And did you, I remember, like, originally there was raspberry and peach and lemon. Those were like the flavor. Yes. And typical ice tea fair.

And then the fourth flavor was Kiwi strawberry. And with kids who fucked with that, I was like, yo, these kids travel. I was like, yo, Kareem is exotic. Because like I just, I had never, that flavor profile in the 90s was brand new. I was way too fat to consume it regularly, but a great treats when I wasn't having a diet peach was Snapple Apple. Snapple apple, sure. Snapple apple was a serious flavor. But really, you had to be skin.

You can't be fat having a Snapple apple. It's too much sugar. It's too much. You have too much guilt around it. Did they ever, why didn't they ever make a diet snapal apple? I think that would crush. What is that gap? And I know it's been very memed, right?

Because you do have that break point where you get over 350 pounds where you start drinking sugar soda again. Yes. Yes. Yeah. thin, really skinny people drink sugar soda. And then people that are 20 to 100 pounds overweight, the idea of full sugar soda, full fat, as the UK calls it, is like an impossible dream. Never would we touch it. So why, Benjamin, are you and I drinking diet sodas at 250 pounds?

And there are these little pizel, 160 pounders crushing a full fat Coke. because we have, we have mental problems. Yeah. Like, because we're damaged. Like, that's,

that's 100% what it is. Right. Like, I would rather, I would rather drink a liter. You know, those big snapple bottles? I'd rather drink a leader of snapple.

It's probably even more than a liter. It's a, maybe it's a gallon, a gallon of snapple. I don't know if you've seen those big plastic bottles. I'd rather drink a gallon of diet snapple than one singular regular. snapple. And there's no way that that sugar-free gallon is better for me than the one

snapple. I think that what diet allows you to at least believe, and it's probably true because it's calories in calories out, is you can still have your volume. I don't want to drink one snapple. I want to drink five. I don't want to drink one can of soda. I want to have six refills in a diner. It's a complete volume play. The idea of going to a diner. The idea of going to a diner, Josh, and ordering a regular Coke on refills is my sugar. Right. You're going to have six regular coax? No.

But if you have six Diet Coke, the worst thing is that you had too much caffeine, but you're not going to have what would probably be 400 grams of sugar, right? It's a volume thing. It's a volume thing. But tell me, I think it's also that we overeat in areas because we think that we are under eating with our liquid intake, right? because basically our liquids are at a neutral so we go, ooh, we can really go harder

in the desserts on the side dishes. Like, tell me a nutrition fallacy you told yourself in your weight loss days. Like for me, I remember, when I started to lose weight, I would eat a rack of ribs. And I'd just be like keto season. And I would still do it with barbecue sauce. But a rack, a side of an animal,

half of their rib cage. And I would look at people who were eating like half a burger and a couple fries and I would be like, you pig. They're like, dog, you just down 3,000 calories. And I'd be like, I'm Atkins. Yeah, for sure. Those diets are especially problematic because you get used to eating such volume. The biggest problem is the volume. Like, yeah, you by the way, you'd probably lose weight.

If you said to yourself, I'm only eating racks of ribs for the rest of my life, you'd lose weight. No question. Eventually, you'd become sick of it. You'd eat less of it, whatever. But it's the idea of eating that volume that then applies itself everywhere else. Right. Like for me, the fallacy, which I still have to this day, is if I buy diet candy, I'm good. If I buy smart sweets, my new obsession is drizzleicious.

If you haven't had that. Holy shit. And let me tell you, the problem, Josh, on the front is. it says 90 calories per serving. They're just basically like Quaker rice cakes with like a little drizzle of chocolate or whatever. Love it. The problem is the whole bag,

which doesn't sound bad, the whole bag is 450 calories. It's a big bag, but you can, you eat it really fast. Like, you can crush that. And because they're rice cakes,

they don't fill you up at all. Like, this is like, there's nothing in it. So I, at one point, like, I was eating probably a bag of day.

That's an extra. 450 calories a day. That's too much. Way too much. So yeah. And smart sweets? Okay, you go and they're 100 a piece. You got to have four.

So then why didn't I just have a Snickers? Snickers is less. It's like Fruit Riot. Like, but maybe Fruit Riot is mostly fruit. And then there's also coconut oil on it. Not good for my cholesterol. I went to my cardiologist. You said, your cholesterol is up.

I've been eating a bag of fruit riot a day. He's like, oh, well. It's like fruit, right? Because it is mostly fruit, but then there's like a sugar, sour coating and some oil in there. But it's still like, yeah, I can knock out a whole bag and it's about 400 or 450 calories. And good calories, bad calories, it's still calories in. Yeah, is that not better? Like I had a, and I just, I stopped it.

Like, my fridge is full. Like, okay, so you have the drizzle,ish, you have the smart sweets. Then I have the true fruze. the fruit riots, all this stuff. And you just think to yourself, it's like, you know, you crush a bag of true fruit, that's 700 calories. And it's, if you're the type of person that can have five true fru's amazing. Right. Then that's great for you. If you're the person that can have 10 grapes from fruit riot, great. These are great options for you. Otherwise, I don't know why I'm not just picking up a fruit roll up. A fruit roll up is less calories significantly than fruit riot.

Like one of the, what is it called? Berkshire, those chocolate covered blueberries, Brookshire. Fabulous. Why aren't I picking up a pack of those instead of true fruze? That's probably 200 calories. They're fucking delicious. And in the end of the day, I'm just trying to curb a sweet tooth anyways.

But if I'm going to go and curb a sweet tooth with 500 calories and healthy candy, that's my delusion. It's not a thing. It's not a thing for people who have volume problems. I just want to do a sugar cleanse so bad and I'll never ever do it. So do I. So do I. I do want to know what it feels like.

Neil Brennan was talking about it. There was a new episode of his podcast blocks where he interviewed Jordan Jensen. It's one of the best pod episodes I've ever heard. And they talked about a sugar detox. And he said, I'm going to listen. He had a sugar day. He used to have a sugar day on Sundays. He doesn't even do that anymore.

But he would have a sugar day on Sundays where he's, where he's like, I'd literally eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because I want sugar all week. He's like, so I'd eat like crazy pancakes in the morning with all the things. And then for dinner, I would just have ice cream. And he's like, and the rest of the week is all salads and protein. I think he's vegan. So he said, and Sunday I would crush sugar.

Monday morning, I'd want sugar. But by Wednesday, I forgot about it. Like I wonder, I've heard it takes two weeks, but I would love, I know that there is a horizon you can get over and it won't be biting at you, but I've never given myself that leeway because I never go more than a day without it. Yeah, it's so interesting. I would love, love, love to do the same. I've also thought recently, Claudia, by the way, started shutting her phone Friday night

to Saturday night too. So we're just like, which by the way, it's so much nicer having her not on her phone too, us doing it together. But I've started to think to myself, which is not realistic, could never happen in the modern world, or very hard. But I wonder how amazing you'd feel after three days without your phone or five days without your phone or a week. I wonder similarly if you'd go through. It's different because it's basically impossible to function in today's society without one. It's impossible to do work.

It's impossible to do anything. I wonder how amazing you'd feel. And it's all of these things. The reason I thought about both of them is they all become significantly easier once you've done them for a couple of days. I'm sure the sugar thing, I know you said two weeks. I'm sure if you went off sugar for a week,

you wouldn't crave it. I'm sure it would get much better. And I wonder how good you'd feel. But he's still eating fruit, right? Or no fruit? Like zero sugar or zero artificial sugar? I bet you, I think,

would probably be best is to take sugar out for two weeks or take fruit out for two weeks to remove all. And then if you were going to slowly introduce it, yes, slowly introduce fruit because it's fructose. It's a different kind of sugar for sure. But I can tell you that from myself, like sugar like that never has made me not feel good. I could eat in like so much watermelon and cancel open honeydew and you, you name it. And I've never not felt good from it. But if I have I have a little too much candy, I'm screwed. I feel terrible. My head hurts.

I think it's the inflammation that comes from sugar. But I don't get inflamed the same way from a fruit or. I bought date syrup, Josh. This is delicious. You ever put date syrup in your coffee? No. Fantastic. Really?

It's really, yeah, it's yummy. Really yummy. Yeah, they say on the glucose profile, it doesn't have a big glycemic spike. God, we're so good. God, we're fucking amazing.

I don't think that it's only helped me in my weight loss. I think that it's helped me overall. It makes me a more conscious person in terms of what I'm doing. I'm very intentional and what I'm eating, what I'm drinking. It makes me feel better. I have less inflammation. I feel better when I'm on it. I absolutely feel better when I'm on it. And Roe is the absolute best place to get it. So many people, so many people write themselves off before even trying, they're like, oh, I'll never get it covered by insurance or, oh, it's not for me.

Why don't you just go to row.co? Why don't you just go to row.com and check it out? Because they are the lowest cost way to access FDA approved GLP1 treatments.

Disclaimer, for side effects of GLP1 medications, including boxed warning, go to row. dot co slash safety row dot co slash safety do you want to get to a weird story i would love a weird story what's going on in the universe what's going on this is a perfect segue because i got to say one thing first of all here's to the story wing stop's the latest flavor features jamoi and tahin jimoy keeps finding new places to show up and wingstop is the latest brand giving the sweet tangy flavor profile its own spotlight The chain just unveiled sweet heat chimoi featuring tahin as a new limited time flavor that layers a custom chumoi inspired dry rub with a drizzle of tahin chamoy sauce. Okay, now dig into Wingstom. I know that's why you brought it up.

What's our beef with Wingstap today? Wingstop made it right. Oh, nice. Wingstop made it right. Okay. Wingstop heard the pod. And they're giving us a free franchise? They said, listen.

I mean, they made it kind of right. They said, look, we don't want no trouble. I said, this is not my intention. It's just become a beautiful story for me. They go, here's an it. They gave me a nice gift card, couple hundo. It's going to take care of me for at least the rest of the year. Very nice piecemeal on behalf of Wink's up.

This is much appreciated. I will not forget. Okay. I will not forget this, uh, this act of, of generosity. Okay. I'm just saying we would, we would prefer a discounted franchisee. A massive brand deal would be better.

Sure. That, that, that as well would, would be great. Yeah. So what is this flavor? I've never heard of,

of course, I've heard of Tachin, but I've never heard of this first flavor profile. What does it call? Chimoi. You never heard of it? Chimoy. No.

We don't have, we don't have, we don't, we don't have, we don't, we don't, go to, go to Publix in, in South Florida. I mean, go to a bodega in Harlem. Go.

Yeah, in any Latin area, it's amazing. It's, um, but it's kind of like a sweet chili syrup almost. Sweet, sweet chili. It's so, okay. It's so delicious. I mean, Mexican desserts in general are elite, uh, elite, my boy. Yum. Um, fantastic.

Growing up, we see these things called Lucas candies that were, but I mean, threes leches, flan. Flan. Flan. Oh, could I put down a flan? Dude, Holy smokes. In general is so good.

God. What a gorgeous country, gorgeous people. Oh, wow. Now all I want is flan. All right, yeah, wing stop. I'm happy to, uh... Sounds good. I do you do by my boy.

It sounds amazing. Yeah. It sounds amazing. I love a sweet chili. I'm a big sweet chili fan. And that tachin, I'm good with tachin on me. I'm out on people trying to put tachin on their fruit.

I guess. I get it. I get it. Oh, it's so good. I just, it's not for me. But if you think about it, if it's like, I think you really have to have a beautiful, ripe, ultra sweet, like a mango or a pineapple because I was with my buddy who's a chef the other day and we were talking about this insane chocolate chip cookie with Florida salt on it. Delish. Delish. I said, is there a world where any chocolate chip cookies should be served without salt and he said no. He's like every single chocolate chip cookie should have salt without question.

Would you say that as a chef? I would say that you should be very careful with how much salt you put on it. Yeah, a little sprinkle, a little sprinkle. Or if you're using a floor to sell, a maldon, or our beautiful sponsor, the Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt Company, which is amazing flaky. This is fantastic stuff. Better than the rest. You sprinkle that.

and you see those flakes. If you can see the flakes, you're in good shape. Don't just crack salt and you can't see it because then you're going to have a salty cookie. You know what I mean? Be careful. High quality salt. Yeah, I totally agree. Totally agree.

Well, speaking of salty cookies, the world's smallest penis title holder wants your money for enlargement surgery, daily frustration and embarrassment. Another great one from the New York Post. How big? How big are we talking? He's seeking an endowment fund. A North Carolina man with the alleged world smallest penis is requesting $22,000 from a public go-fundme for his enlargement surgery. Michael Phillips 38 has already raised $9,000 because his manhood, you guessed it measures just 0.38 inches long.

Oh my. Oyo, yo, o'y. 0.38? Is that like, is that like, this? That's an elevator button. I mean, that's like. Is that even considered a micro penis? It's mini micro.

And he, yeah, he just was on a morning show talking about it. Wow, we're really bored as a society. That said, if they go fund me cross my path and I was in a, no, I would never donate to somebody's penis fund. he's got some sweet tats would you donate to his penis fund I think if I knew him personally and I could see what he was going for of course of course

you if you're in my life and you need money for a penis enlargement surgery you can come to me I'll kick you in a few shackle a random guy on the internet asking me to help him grow his penis you can miss me on that I'd rather spend the money on

Makase. The hardest part, I wish there was just a level of, I would donate to so many more GoFundMe's that I do. I reserve it usually for people that I know or something that's vetted just so I know that the money is going to the right place. Because I feel like you and I, Ben, and probably anyone with a public profile gets hit up daily with like dozens of tax or DMs of like, can I have money for this? Can I have money for that? And it's like, but I just don't know you. So I don't know for sure if it's going to the right thing. Yeah, we've spoken about this before. I completely agree.

It's very, very hard. It's even hard to give to charity. Like a lot of these charities, like it'll later come out. Wounded Warrior Project. What percentage of that went to like, nothing that had to do with the hero? Nothing. And it's just like, I don't know. I really like to buy someone a sandwich.

I don't like to give. And I still will sometimes. As we know, I sometimes even get emotionally robbed by these people. But I like to give somebody something. I would much rather, not that I'm in the position to buy somebody a house who's homeless, but like that's why I love when like people band together and you see the money like from one of those amazing videos, go to buy somebody a house. It's like a tangible asset that you're giving to this person versus just like, oh,

trust me. I'm going to allocate it properly. It's like, did that really make? you feel better. It certainly didn't make me feel better. Like, and I think a lot of it's that too. Like, there should be some feeling for the, the giver, right? Like, like, I, part of the reason that I will give is also that I can feel good about myself. That's just like me being totally honest. I'm going to give to a cause that makes me feel like I did the right thing. But I don't feel that way when I give to a mass charity and I don't know where it's going, even if it's something

story like at St. Jude's. I need a follow-up. Where did my money go? What happened to it? What did you do with it? That would be helpful. St. Jude's is real good to give to. Give them all your money. Yeah. But by the way, St. Jude's, now that you know, this is just light, constructive feedback, I give you a thousand bucks. Just send me an email and say, hey, you know, we decided to put it here.

Is that too much to ask? Fabulous. We should go there. You know St. Jude's gives all their treatment for free. I, by the way, let's go. They're the best. I'm down to go. You should go. I'm down to go. I think they're in Tennessee.

Okay. Let's go. You're the only 10 I see. Yeah. I want to go. I'm in. I would love to. I go and volunteer at the Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach.

Like I've gone to a couple Christmas things there. The Greek bicker staffs are big donors there. But Stamos and I have done that. And it's just the greatest thing in the world. We stopped when COVID hit. I don't know what the procedure would be now. I'm sure it would be back where we could come and visit. but yeah, those are the best.

But I know what you mean, and I think that, yeah, it's an interesting, it's just an interesting balance. And it doesn't hurt if you, yeah, it certainly helps when you know where it's going. But I also like people who always say, I'd love to give cash. And I think like maybe it's because I'm in recovery. So I kind of understand it. I think maybe differently than other people when they go like, don't give them money. He's just going to buy booze with it.

And I want to go, I hope so. Yeah. Yeah. You hope he is fun. Let him have a drink. Like, because I also know, like, to what end? I'm like, either that drink is going to drive him to get sober. Because as in my, I can only speak to my experience, you can tell an alcoholic something,

but you can't tell him much, right? Like, what we react well to is catastrophe. My life has fallen apart. I've lost my family. I've lost my job. I've lost hope. I can't live this way anymore. But if someone's teetering, you're not going to convince them.

unfortunately, and it's so painful for your loved ones and people you care about, you kind of have to watch them crash out because it's only when they hit that bottom that hopefully they go, I got to find a better way. Totally, totally. And that's not to say, just to go back to what I said, I do give money. I just prefer if there's the opportunity to buy. If somebody comes up to me and says, like I'm walking into a bodega, hey, can you get me a bacon, egg and cheese and a soda, auto yes.

Totally. Like, you're hungry and you want something to drink. Auto, yes. Versus sometimes the person on the street, you could walk by. Like, they're like not every single person on the street am I handing money to. Right. But yes, you, I'm going in somewhere for food and you want food. No question.

Then I come outside and they rob me at gunpoint. That's the positive karma. It's a good balance. I hand you a bacon, egg and cheese. You put a pistol in my neck. Like that's Or your gut Yeah

True or my gut Or my gut Should we get to Woodyya Nuts? Oh yes we should I have such I have so many good ones Josh Let me just quickly

Take a quick peek Oh yes I will take a quick Quick peek at mine And then we will Reconvene Our Woody Nuts moment of the week Our gripes

With people places and things Both big and tall Whatever is Sticking in your craw Benny What do you got Uh So I was in

In line at Chase using the ATM, I get up to withdraw some money. And I hear a woman behind me. She's talking to someone. She goes, all right, honey, I'm just going to take out $500. It won't be long. And then we'll be on our way. I take out my money. I go.

I look, woman is talking to her pit bull. What are you nuts? The pit bull doesn't need to know that you're taking out $500. Do you think that the pit bull, like, you think he understands money? You think he's fiscally responsible? I understand if you want to, people really, like, they treat dogs like humans. I totally get that. You can give them a law of affection.

You don't need to give them a play by play of how much money you're taking out at the bank. They don't know what a bank is. They don't know what they are. You need help. What are you nuts? So true. Nuts. I, uh, the other day I was, uh, driving around in this massive, I kid you not,

possibly arena-sized public storage got put up. near my house. And all I have to say is, what are you nuts? We have too much shit. There is so many public storages everywhere. And these are not commercial size.

They go, oh, we have 50 square foot lockers up to a thousand square feet. You need an apartment-sized public storage to hold all you shit. Have you ever seen storage wars? I have. It's crap. These people,

leave it. They don't even pick it up. And they make TV shows about them not picking it up. And then I got to go bid to try to win something good. And I really want to win something good. God, would I like to get a nice find in there? You know, you think it's a bunch of crap. All of a sudden, you're like, it's a fucking Mickey Mantle rookie card. But it's always, it's always a Mickey Mantle rookie card, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's just like, what are you nuts? It's people have too much crap. People have too much crap.

I would also love to know, and I don't know this for sure, with the increase in rent prices and home prices, how much storage lockers, like how much their popularity has exploded. I have to assume that the more expensive a house becomes, the more things you're going to cheaply put into storage. That said,

you don't need anything that is not in front of you. Right. Anything that's in storage, You're paying for monthly. You have forgotten about it. It's not. It's, it's, it's there. We have a, we have a sprit storage locker.

It has like beverages in it that we'll use for events and stuff. But like I've thrown random shit in there. Like these coosies that I made in 2021, I should have thrown them out. They've just been sitting in there since 2021. A storage locker is an excuse to hoard shit. Right. So I'm fucking with you. What are you nuts?

You're also fucking nuts. Oh, oh, oh, I got a good idea. Oh, good. Something fun, Spritz, pool party, and you just wrap something, and you call it a jacuzzi. And you wrap the jacuzzi, like a above-ground jacuzzi in a sprits kuzzi. Oh, my God, I love it. Jakuzy, and we get J'Rul to do it. Oh!

Oh, my God. Wow. Jarl Rul's jacuzzi. Ooh. We out here at the Fire Festival at Spritz Society 3. Okay. Yeah, you know, I'm without you because I'm real. The way you are, the way you thought, the way.
