Speaker 1 The following podcast is a Dear Media Production.

Speaker 4 I'm Josh Peck and I'm Ben Sauffer and we're the good guys.

Speaker 4 There's a lot of guys out there and we're the good ones.

Speaker 4 Monza Morans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I'm sitting here with a guy who just found out Avici died.
It's Ben Sauffer.

Speaker 4 It was planned. I don't know who did it, Josh, but it was planned.
It was an attack. I was reminded.
I was like, oh my God, rest in peace. Avici, I absolutely loved him.

Speaker 4 People are saying that he killed himself. I don't think that's true.
I don't think that's true. I think he was gunned down too soon.

Speaker 4 I don't know who wanted it, wanted to, was out to get him, but somebody was out to get him. On the mean streets of Yemen, no less.
Yes, terrible. It's just terrible.
We miss Avichi. Rest in peace.

Speaker 4 I actually, it's funny. I saw somebody's comments the other day under a recent episode or under one of my Instagram stories.
And she's like, I can't wait to hear this on the good guys in two months.

Speaker 4 And I was cracking up. I was like, oh my God, you, you know, us too well.
We're only like a week behind these morons.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we're a week tops. And by the way, next year, oh, baby, we're going to be so topical.
It's going to be amazing. We're actually not.

Speaker 4 I think we might be a little further behind because of our editing schedule.

Speaker 4 If only we could predict the future. Then we would be on time.
Should we do that? Predictions for the following week at the end of each episode. I love it.
I love it.

Speaker 4 What's going to happen in politics? Who's going to get canceled? What teams are going to win? Ooh, that's fun. And then we look back and we see how wrong we were.

Speaker 4 Yeah, like, could you imagine if Luigi, the United Healthcare assassin, we find out that he was working in cahoots with a guy named Mario? I'm sorry. You can't be an assassin and be named Luigi.

Speaker 4 You can't. You can't.
Like, he needed to change his name before doing it. Also, the fact that, did you know that you could 3D print a gun? Yeah, dude.
This is the issue. This is crazy.

Speaker 4 So we're out here worried about gun laws, but you can 3D print a gun in your house. You know what I mean? Isn't it to be able to reprint chopsticks if they forget it when you DoorDash sushi?

Speaker 4 This is an invention. This is a necessity, not guns.

Speaker 4 This is an invention. This is a necessity.
That is just an unbelievable use of the technology. Can you imagine if you could 3D print duck sauce?

Speaker 4 No, I can't. And it's an unbelievable use of the technology.
As always, we have to go and ruin things. We have to ruin them.
3D printing guns. What are you nuts?

Speaker 4 And I don't know if you read his manifesto, but the problem is, I read it and I was like, damn, he's right.

Speaker 4 Sorry, I don't read anything called manifesto. I'll sit to a woman manifesto, okay? Fucking patriarchy.

Speaker 4 Oh my God. It was like, it was literally, I think he was saying we spend the most money on health care, yet we're, we're 43rd in terms of longevity.
And that's why he killed him.

Speaker 4 And it's like, okay, I hear you, but killing him only put you in jail forever so that you can't help anyone. So, Luigi, you made a big mistake.
You made a big mistake.

Speaker 4 I just want his accomplices to be a Yoshi, a toad,

Speaker 4 a Princess Peach.

Speaker 4 Could you imagine?

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 4 Bowser.

Speaker 4 Bowser.

Speaker 4 So good. Oh, man.

Speaker 4 So tell us about your trauma. Tell us about what happened, Ben.
Come on.

Speaker 4 The episode title here is Mercury is in retrograde, okay?

Speaker 4 Because the crystals are crystalling. I've had,

Speaker 4 I'll start with Friday. My United Airlines debacle showed up.
My goodness, got screwed. I spoke about it in the last episode, so I don't want to go into it too deep.

Speaker 4 I was screwed by United, gets the following week, flying home, four-hour delay on Monday. Tuesday night, I'm rushing.
I'm making dinner, making Claudia a nice stir-fry.

Speaker 4 And there was rushing to make Claudia dinner before Claudia was pregnant, but now that Claudia is pregnant, it's like, I'm hungry now. So I'm like, okay, I'm cutting onions.
I'm cutting onions.

Speaker 4 I'm cutting onions. All of a sudden, I cut off my finger.

Speaker 4 And when I tell you, these are brand new shun knives, these are are no joke, Josh. These are no fucking joke.
I did not cut my thumb. I cut off the tip of my thumb.

Speaker 4 So much so that I had to go back into the yellow onions and think to myself: is one of these a piece of my thumb or is it a yellow onion? Lo and behold, it was a piece of my thumb.

Speaker 4 The top left corner, clean off.

Speaker 4 Okay, any questions before I continue moving? Just said they should rename the knives as Shunda knives.

Speaker 4 Totally. Too sharp.
Way too sharp. I then go, I call my doctor and I'm like, you know, I kept cooking.
I bandaged it. I'm like, it'll be fine.
No problem.

Speaker 4 I call my doctor and I'm like, do I have to go to the emergency room for this? He's like, yes, you need a tetanus shot. Go.
I'm like, okay. I go to the doctor, to the emergency room.

Speaker 4 Shout out Cornell, 68th and York. This is the place.
It's where I was born. This is the place.
Heaven on earth. I was in and out in 90 minutes.
Professional, nice, awesome. Awesome ER.

Speaker 4 Very busy too, but they were just very professional, had their shit together, seemed like they cared. Did you get triaged? Yeah.
Did they check your blood pressure? Did they check your O2?

Speaker 4 Were you 95 and above? They checked my blood pressure. You want to guess what my blood pressure was? You were feeling some anxiety.

Speaker 4 I remember seeing in your IG story, you were like, I'm starting to feel a bit lightheaded, which I'm like, this fool's giving himself a panic attack. So I would say, I'm going to say 130 over 90.

Speaker 4 129 over 84. Pretty close.
Yes, but pretty good. Pretty good.
Pretty good. We'll take it.
We'll take it. No issues.
So yeah, they went through all of it. They checked for whatever reason.

Speaker 4 I don't know why they checked my temperature. They didn't mean to do that.
I wasn't there. I didn't have a temperature.
I digress. We go in, they clean it.

Speaker 4 Well, first, they unbandage it, and I have to see it. And I'm like, oh my God, I didn't realize that that's what I did to my thumb.
The whole top corner is missing, Josh. The whole top corner.

Speaker 4 It's indented. This is my thumb.
It's indented. They clean it out.
I see it. And then all of a sudden she's like, okay, I'm going to put this bandage on it.
She didn't say it was going to hurt.

Speaker 4 She put this bandage on that essentially carterized, which is burning together the skin, my thumb. She put it on.
I screamed because she didn't warn me. I was like, ah, oh my God.

Speaker 4 Hurt so much, so much. Cause you can't stitch it because there's nothing to stitch.
It's just open. So the only way to close it is to burn it closed.

Speaker 4 So they burned it closed, covered it up, and now it's just healing. And what are you, nuts? Just so stupid.
Like I felt, I was so angry at myself. I was just like, why, man? Why?

Speaker 4 And then I found out that Mercury was in retrograde. And do I know what that means? Not really, but I believe it.
And did they give you any shit shit for coming in the first place?

Speaker 4 No, they were like, look, this happens all the time. We see it.
Thank God you didn't clip the bone. Thank God you didn't clip your nail.
Truth is, this could be much worse.

Speaker 4 You cut it in like a good spot. It should grow back.
You could have a little indent. So you could look at my thumb and think that it's a little special.
Okay, a little special. Thank you.

Speaker 4 But I could also go to Dr. Diamond and maybe make it a little bit better.
So we'll see how bad it is. Full recovery time is three months.

Speaker 4 Short term, I should feel the thumb should start to heal over in about two weeks. You should get a wheelchair for the flight to Florida later next week.
Totally.

Speaker 4 You see this?

Speaker 4 I'm on IR.

Speaker 4 That's funny. That hurts.
No, I know that pain. I told this story about the girl.
I know I've told this before, but not one of my more shiny moments. I was dating this girl, but it was,

Speaker 4 how do I say this? I think she wanted to progress more and be more official than I wanted to be. And so I was like 23, she was 26.

Speaker 4 She was a great person, but like, I just thought this was like a casual, fun thing. And I think she wanted something more official.

Speaker 4 But one night she cut her finger badly on a broken glass in her kitchen. And she was like, will you take me to the emergency room to get stitched up? So we're sitting there.

Speaker 4 She's got her bandage finger. There's a little girl.

Speaker 4 We're like talking to her because she's like looking at us and we're like throwing a ball with her because she's like waiting for her mom who's being seen.

Speaker 4 And she looks at us and goes, is this your girlfriend to me? And I stop and go, this is my friend. She's my friend.
And I just felt her go, oh, oh, oh. Yeah.
You could have just given it to her.

Speaker 4 The woman was in the ER. I'm such a piece of shit.

Speaker 4 I heard Olivia behind the screen go, oh,

Speaker 4 that's bad, right, Olivia?

Speaker 3 It just hurts, but like, I get it, you know?

Speaker 4 I should have just said it.

Speaker 4 This episode of the Good Guys Podcast is brought to you by KiwiCo. Picture this, okay? Picture this.

Speaker 4 Late 1990s, we were just kids, maybe kids going to the park, bringing our soccer ball and kicking it around. Maybe a frisbee catch, maybe playing basketball in the park.

Speaker 4 Well, today kids are just standing in front of screens. They're sitting, staring at screens, standing, looking at the TV.
I see screens everywhere. I see these kids at dinner.

Speaker 4 They're literally on their parents' phone looking at screens. No, no, no.
Kiwi Ko doesn't believe in that and I don't believe in that. That's why they are bringing back the fun, okay?

Speaker 4 Bring back the fun with interactive activities. Kiwi Klo has clubs that are perfect gifts for curious minds.

Speaker 4 one thing that i want to quickly clarify about this thumb never did i feel pain isn't that strange i didn't feel pain when i cut it i was just looking down and it was literally i was losing liters of blood when i got to the hospital i didn't feel pain the only time i felt pain was when it it was carterized.

Speaker 4 And right now, I don't feel pain. There's no pain.
Isn't that strange?

Speaker 4 Just saying, no pain. Just ugly.
Yeah. I wonder if it's like the placement of the digit because it's not a, obviously, it's one of the furthest things from your heart, right?

Speaker 4 Like your toes, your fingers.

Speaker 4 Oh, that's interesting. Yes.
Could be. Top left corner.
Whatever. So yes.

Speaker 4 Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully I don't die in the middle of the night.
Mercury will no longer be in retrograde on Monday, so we're almost out of the woods.

Speaker 4 Now we have the biggest Yenta audience of all Yentas, and God bless them. Thank God.

Speaker 4 Were they slipping in your DMs left and right, giving you unsolicited medical advice and inadvertently breaking your HIPAA? They were certainly telling me that I was going to get first.

Speaker 4 It was like, did you get stitches? Did you get stitches? Did you get stitches? Then the ones that were really smart, they already knew carterizing. Okay.
This is a new word for me.

Speaker 4 I didn't know about this. I didn't know carterizing they were like i think it's cotterize isn't it cotterize i blow bar it's not like coach carterize

Speaker 4 um i think it's cot cotter

Speaker 4 cotter eyes yeah welcome back cotterize

Speaker 4 okay maybe whatever it is i didn't know about this they knew about it Everybody said when I, this is actually hilarious, when I said thank you to Cornell on Instagram, because it's nice to shout out a hospital when they do good work, because certainly if they gave me a bad experience, I would have read them to filth.

Speaker 4 So I told them about this beautiful experience and I got at least 10 isolated messages saying something to the effect of, oh, saying that Cornell is a great hospital is like saying Rolls-Royce is a great car.

Speaker 4 Like we know their ER is great. Apparently, I had no idea.
If you have a problem, this is the ER. This is it.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 They're all, even the former mental hospital, Bellevue downtown, it's beautiful. I mean, New York hospitals, unless you go to like NYU Langone, like in Soho, which is a great hospital.

Speaker 4 It's just not as pretty. Like some of these New York hospitals, they're just in stunning buildings.
They're stunning buildings. They're really nice.

Speaker 4 What I had experienced, though, in the past, like I think the last time I went to an emergency room, it was Lannox Hill.

Speaker 4 And I just remember the lines being so long and it taking me like five hours and I'm there in pain and I want to be seen. This was really boom, boom, in and out.

Speaker 4 And the people on call couldn't have been nicer. The guy next to me, it's funny, they put you like just between a thin sheet right next to another emergency room patient.

Speaker 4 And I just hear the guy over there, he has an itchy foot. Apparently, he's been to the podiatrist.
He's having some problems. His foot is chronically itchy.
And I hear him say,

Speaker 4 This is my wedding nuts. He goes, Yeah, man, athlete's foot runs in my family.

Speaker 4 and I'm like athlete's foot does not run in a family

Speaker 4 maybe maybe you all just like practice dunking your foot in the pool and then putting it raw in a shoe but athlete's foot does not run in a family it's not this it's not genetics it sounds like it runs in their shower

Speaker 4 oh maybe it does it does oh my god yeah nasty oof oh myth's foot have you had athlete's foot no baruch hashem i've never had athlete's foot but i did i've had a wart on my foot before which is why if i walk around if you see me in any public space i have my own flip-flops on and i'll go and you know me i'm an equinox boy through and through but some of these derelicts are in the in the schwitz with no flip-flop on i'm like that's gross it is gross that is gross

Speaker 4 It's nasty. And like, I know they say that they thoroughly sanitize these public flip-flops.
You can.

Speaker 4 The idea of a public flip-flop, that's the same thing as saying that you're going to wear bowling shoes with no socks. Been there.
That's disgusting.

Speaker 4 Now, your wonderful father, Bruce, I saw, came to the emergency room. Now tell me, did you call Danny? Daddy.
He literally happens to live. He happens to live really close to the hospital.
Okay.

Speaker 4 So it would just, I called him, I'm like, dad, because he's a chef. I'm like, dad, you know, have you had this before? I cut off my thumb.
Like, what do I do?

Speaker 4 Bruce He goes, did you buy the Shunda knives?

Speaker 4 He's like, yeah, that's terrible. Sorry.
I'll meet you. I'm like, you really don't have to meet me.
And it's nice. It's sweet.
He came.

Speaker 4 It is very sweet that he came. He brought me a fresh baked cookie, but it's funny.
He was there. I gave him my chair.
He sat. I stood.
He was next.

Speaker 4 He was next to me. I'm being seen by the nurse.
He goes up to the nurse. He says, you know, my wife has a small rash on her back.
Do you mind if I call her?

Speaker 4 It's like, I'm here talking about my thumb and you're worried about mom's rash. So good.
So, no, but he's, he's the best. And it was nice that he was there.
And me, a delicious cookie. Delicious.

Speaker 4 It was like a Marzipan type, almond type cookie.

Speaker 4 You don't get this from the store. You don't.
Well, you only get this from Bruce. Speaking of.
Our Yenta listeners and their medical advice.

Speaker 4 So on a previous episode, I talked about perhaps taking some voice lessons, not to actively lower my voice, but to take any restraint or tension out of my voice the way you would in an acting class or a yoga class working for your overall physical, because in acting, the less tension, the better.

Speaker 4 And a lot of people hold tension in their voice.

Speaker 4 And we had some, it just goes to show, in my experience, the most educated, qualified people tend to be the least absolute or sure of themselves.

Speaker 4 And it's the people who really are not qualified who are like, I know what's wrong. So we had some PhDs, some speech pathologists slid into my DMs.
They go, sounds like it could be this.

Speaker 4 You might want to try this modality. You might want to try this person.
This could be beneficial to you. Perhaps, maybe, could be this.

Speaker 4 Then I have the sienta. She goes,

Speaker 4 You're tongue-tied.

Speaker 4 You have thrusting tongue. I go,

Speaker 4 It sounds like the name of a strip club.

Speaker 4 Thrusting tongue. It's a cunnelingus finishing move.

Speaker 4 And now for the thrusting tongue.

Speaker 4 Thrusting tongue.

Speaker 4 So I go, oh my God, I'm like, no, I have an underbite, which is why I have a lisp that I've had since I was four years old.

Speaker 4 But, and she goes, you're tongue-tied, you have thrusting tongue, and I should know I'm an oral hygienist.

Speaker 4 What is wrong with people?

Speaker 4 So much.

Speaker 4 So much. So much.
So did you see? Have you seen anybody or no? No. We delayed it.
It's good. We delayed it.
I have to tell you, Josh.

Speaker 4 I don't know if we, I think we've lightly told the people, but Josh wrote an intro song for this podcast that you guys will hear in 2025 that we are both singing on.

Speaker 4 That when I tell you, Josh sent me a sample of him singing on this. Josh is, he's Michael Bouble, if he wasn't mean to his wife.
He's unbelievable. He's the voice of an angel.
You don't need anything.

Speaker 4 You're good.

Speaker 4 God bless you. Wait till you hear Ben singing on it.
It's going to be unreal. Best podcast theme song in the game.
I don't know if that's something to be proud of, but it will be good.

Speaker 4 And produced by the great Super Chris Abraham, who any Drake and Josh heads will know. He's been very instrumental in that music and he's quite talented and it'll be wonderful.
Ooh, I can't wait.

Speaker 4 It's going to be good.

Speaker 4 But, dude, no, I just have, I have crippling TMJ that I recently. Oh, tell me this, guys.
I'm at a loss here. I don't know what to do.
Sometimes I go to my boy, Dr. Serge, for Botox and My Masteters.

Speaker 4 Shout out, Dr. Serge.
Love them. Love them.
Westside Oral Surgery. Love them.
West Valley, maybe. Sorry, Serge.
Anyway,

Speaker 4 West Valley oral surgery. But I wear a night guard.
I do all the things.

Speaker 4 So I've even now toyed with taking a beta blocker at night, which is a blood pressure medicine to make me less anxious so I'm not grinding at night.

Speaker 4 Do you take magnesium? Not to be one of those yentas. Do you take magnesium at night? Well, I take element.
Can you start taking

Speaker 4 the day? Can you start taking 500 milligrams of magnesium every night? Sure, I'll try it. I'll try anything.

Speaker 4 I take 500 milligrams of magnesium every night and within 45 minutes, I'm asleep and my racing thoughts silence just saying okay okay try it try it try it continue i'm in so i finally for the first time tried acupuncture with my sister-in-law suggested her acupuncturist wonderful woman wonderful time i just

Speaker 4 I just, you know, it's interesting. She puts in the needles all over my legs, my arms, my face, my head.
And she goes, I'll see you in a half hour. I go, this is it.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 I have to ask, and before I say it, no, we're not cutting it out. This is not racist.
What ethnicity was the person giving you acupuncture? She was a wonderful white girl. I'm out.

Speaker 4 I'm out.

Speaker 4 No, but they have to learn.

Speaker 4 They learn it. Josh,

Speaker 4 this is their track. This is their profession.
This is their calling. This is it.
I don't want a white woman giving me acupuncture. I don't want it.

Speaker 4 But they can and should, but they learn from like Chinese Eastern Medicine University. Yeah, I'm just saying a Chinese woman never would have left you for 30 minutes.

Speaker 4 She would have been there by your side. I think so.
Talking you through it. She wouldn't have left you.
The white woman was overrun. She had 15 patients at once.

Speaker 4 She placed you, pricked you, ran to three more. It's just a business for them.
For the Chinese, it's life. It's life.

Speaker 4 The Chinese do it better. Title.

Speaker 4 The Chinese do it better.

Speaker 4 The Chinese do it better and Mercury is in retrograde. This would be fun.
You're going to, you and I were together right now.

Speaker 4 We go, boys' night, boys' night, boys' night, staying in next game, watching it on TV. Let's order in Chinese.
What's your order? Okay, I am going with a spring roll. Love, an ice veggie spring roll.

Speaker 4 If we're feeling fat, I'm going with a fried dumpling. Okay, that could be a veggie fried dumpling.

Speaker 4 That could be a chicken fried dumpling, but the fried dumpling, I'm telling you, you've all been ordering ordering steamed dumplings for too long because it's healthier.

Speaker 4 But the fried dumpling, the crisp, amazing, okay? I'm getting a light fried rice, something a veggie fried rice, a chicken fried rice. Love a fried rice.
I'm getting a peanut butter noodle. Wow.

Speaker 4 I love

Speaker 4 peanut noodles. Dan.

Speaker 4 Yes, a cold peanut noodle. Fantastic.
Basically a palate cleanser between courses is the cold peanut noodle for the hot items. We're going to go with the sesame chicken.

Speaker 4 We're going to go maybe a beef with broccoli. We're going to go with, I like something orange.
Like an orange chicken's really good too.

Speaker 4 I also like kung pow chicken, like when you get a little spice and a little bit of those peanuts. Yeah.
Of course, of course, a fortune cookie.

Speaker 4 We'll go with one of the, the roasted string beans, Josh, and the brown sauce. I love a roasted eggplant.
I love,

Speaker 4 that's what we're doing. That's what we're doing.
We're going to town. Are we having a nice lychee? Are you a dessert? Are we getting a lychee?

Speaker 4 Would love it.

Speaker 4 I would love a cup of lyche nuts. I'd love it.
Or maybe just, I love when they just throw in a whole orange. Like, yeah.

Speaker 4 And a fortune cookie. And a fortune cookie.
Did I miss anything? No, a perfect order. I love Chinese food.
I mean,

Speaker 4 again, you wouldn't do this. I think I would do like a general chow's chicken.
Then you need a savory offering, right?

Speaker 4 So you need those string beans with the beautiful, like the string beans with the beautiful. I'll take a white garlic sauce, I'll be honest.

Speaker 4 Then maybe, and this is, you wouldn't eat this, a nice sweet and pungent shrimp. A nice

Speaker 4 something, or a kung pao something, you know? Kung pow.

Speaker 4 You know what's really good, Josh? A mushoo. When was the last time you had mushoo? You know, mushoo, I think, and sadly, we have covered this.
It's not a West Coast thing.

Speaker 4 I love a mushoo with the pancake and the hoisin.

Speaker 4 By the way, even if we've spoken about it, you can't talk about mushoo too much. There's another episode titled, Bring Back the Mushoo.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 We need more mushoo. America needs more mushoo.
More mushoo.

Speaker 4 It's an interactive activity. Imagine, Josh, if we had the chipotle of mushoo.
We call it mushoo. You walk in, you have a huge wrap.
You throw on your hoisin. You throw on your mushoo.

Speaker 4 You pick your protein. They wrap it like a burrito and it's huge mushoo.
Love it. Love it.
Whoa, whoa. And the cabbage is crisp.

Speaker 4 this episode of the good guys podcast is brought to you by pretty litter we all know that cats are picky and their owners are too and especially when it comes to their cats as they should be and look There's so many different types of litter on the market, right?

Speaker 4 And cat owners by far are choosing pretty litter because pretty litter's non-clumping formula traps odor and moisture.

Speaker 4 It's ultra-absorbent, it's lightweight, low dust, and one six-pound bag works for up to a month. And this really gives, you know, cat owners peace of mind.

Speaker 4 Pretty litter changes color to indicate early signs of potential illnesses in cats, like urinary tract infections, kidney issues, and more. How amazing is that?

Speaker 4 And if that wasn't enough, pretty litter ships free right to your door so you never run out, but you don't have a huge kitty litter bag taking up all the space.

Speaker 4 And even better, you don't have to lug those huge tubs from the store to your car, to your house. It just comes in the mail.
So folks, pretty litter, it's amazing. You have to try it.

Speaker 4 If you love your cat, you need to get them pretty litter, okay? Because pretty litter, as I mentioned before, identifies diseases. It's also direct to consumers.
So you're getting it in your house.

Speaker 4 It's fantastic. You don't have to go to the store.

Speaker 4 well this is the last episode of 2024. Ben, anything to say? Honestly, this has been an amazing year.
That's all. That's all.
Like the podcast brings me so much joy. We work really hard on it.

Speaker 4 And next year, it's just going to be that much better. Like we're adding in this theme song.
I can't even tell you how jazzed I am, but reflecting on the year, we had some amazing guests.

Speaker 4 We had some not so great guests. We had some amazing solo episodes.
But most importantly, we enjoyed doing every episode. I laugh so hard.

Speaker 4 It's my, it's my hour a day to laugh and to just forget about everything else going on and talk about Mushu.

Speaker 4 And hopefully you're listening and you're thinking to yourself, oh, you know, I got a really busy life, but for an hour, I get to talk about Mushu and Mercury in retrograde and emergency room visits.

Speaker 4 Like it's a reprieve for me. I hope it's a reprieve for everybody else.
Olivia, should we talk about some of the big apps of this year of 2024? I sure think we should. I agree.
Yes.

Speaker 4 What was the biggest episode?

Speaker 3 We do know. We do know.
I've got them all right here. Coming in at number one, do you have any guesses?

Speaker 4 It's definitely Claudia, the first one.

Speaker 3 Josh, any guesses?

Speaker 4 Well, after I heard Olivia go,

Speaker 4 now I'm questioning, did we have anyone?

Speaker 4 Here's Taylor Lauderner. Here's 2023.

Speaker 4 Miranda was this year. She was 23.

Speaker 4 At the very end. Very end.
Gotcha. No wonder it was such a big year.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Was Taylor Lautner 2024?

Speaker 3 I believe Taylor was 2023 as well.

Speaker 4 My God, would we pull out all the stops in 23? We heavy in finance this year. We're doing fine.

Speaker 3 Chat GP Stasi, baby, with Stasi Schroeder.

Speaker 4 I forgot about that. That was a great episode.
Wow.

Speaker 4 Unbelievable. This was a long year.
We did that one in L.A. That one was really fun, too.
I think we did, that's when we did Jake Shane was this year, too. I think that's a trip.

Speaker 4 Oh, that episode was an incredible one.

Speaker 3 Surprisingly, not in the top 10, but fantastic. Fantastic.

Speaker 4 Amazing. And if you guys haven't listened to all of those episodes you should go back and listen to them maybe once twice three times non-just press play just press play and walk away

Speaker 4 yes put us on make a playlist on youtube and leave it going while you're on your vacation this year

Speaker 4 should we get into some weird stories well i think it we'd be remiss to not say that Vandals are putting hilarious googly eyes on outdoor sculptures, but local officials aren't laughing.

Speaker 4 Talk about a site for sore eyes. The city in Oregon is pleading with locals to stop taping googly eyes onto roadside sculptures, as the goofy gag is costing a pretty penny.

Speaker 4 Officials in Bend notice the oversight optics taped into metallic artwork of deer and geometric shapes at roundabouts throughout the area.

Speaker 4 While the googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, the removal has run upward of $1,500 because of the adhesive on the eyes.

Speaker 4 It's creepy. It's not creepy, but it's kind of funny.
Let me see. I'd love to show you.
Let me see. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
That's nice. It's silly.
That's nice. Look, bend, relax.

Speaker 4 You don't need to spend so much money if you just leave them. They look great.
I agree. They look fine.
Bend. Bend a little bit.

Speaker 4 Are you so worried you're going to bend? You might break. Bend.
You fucks.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Well,

Speaker 4 well, there was a plane. A passenger on a turbulent plane fears end is near as flight crew hands her cryptic item.
Are we dying?

Speaker 4 A nervous passenger was convinced her plane was going down when flight attendants began handing out a very peculiar object to travelers.

Speaker 4 The Polish woman, Jula Vadini, who was traveling to San Jose in Colombia, captured a TikTok video of the moment the flight crew began passing out electronic candles throughout the plane.

Speaker 4 Confused, she made the sign of the cross and she blurted out, Are we dying on the clip? I was now convinced they gave us candles because they knew we would crash, she added over text.

Speaker 4 Now let's see why they did it. She learned shortly after that there was a logical explanation for the candles as well.
Turns out this is a Colombian tradition on the 7th of December.

Speaker 4 One candle equals one wish. How wholesome.

Speaker 4 Oh my God, that's hysterical.

Speaker 4 Jeez.

Speaker 4 All I have to say is people who are afraid of turbulence, okay, Josh, I'm sorry, this is going to be harsh. Don't fly.
Don't fly. This is a known thing.
Turbulence is not at all dangerous.

Speaker 4 Nobody has ever crashed because of turbulence. It's not a thing.
Planes bump. You're in the middle of the air.
It is windy. The plane's going to go up and down.
It's going to go side to side.

Speaker 4 Typically the pilot's going to say, we're entering about 30 minutes of turbulence. On our flight on Monday, the woman next to us was so petrified of turbulence, so petrified.
I heard her.

Speaker 4 She pulled over the flight attendant and she said, if it gets, if it gets too, if the turbulence gets too much, we're going to pull over and we're going to divert to a different airport, right?

Speaker 4 And the flight attendant's like, no, what are you talking about? Like, no, we're not going to divert to a different airport if the turbulence keeps up.

Speaker 4 Like, don't fly if you have issues with turbulence, okay? Don't do it. It's too much for you.
You can't do it. No good.

Speaker 4 That said, for this thing here, Josh, the handing out the candles, they definitely should have prefaced, hey,

Speaker 4 we have a tradition. Woo! Yes.
December 17th, we're giving out candles. That's nice.
That's nice, but to just hand them out,

Speaker 4 I would be a little freaked out too. Right.
Like, if a plane did like a collab with a make your own will service,

Speaker 4 that would be a little alarming. A little alarming.
Just a little. So yeah, that lady deserves to be freaked out.
But if you're afraid of turbulence, stop flying. It's not for you.

Speaker 4 Did you know that pro back scratchers rake in big bucks, but it's not about sex. You have those people with their mind in the gutter.

Speaker 4 Itching for some R ⁇ R, people seeking unconventional relaxation methods are shelling out hundreds of dollars for professional back scratchers tony george the 55 year old owner of the scratchers girls in miami charges 130 for an hour of scratching using her three inch manicured nails breaking them down her clients back limbs scalps and even the insides of their ears her services are so popular that she also travels to major metropolitans new york los angeles philly to see her clientele you notice he didn't mention Boston because there'd just be guys going, oh, gosh, that feels fucking wicked, girl.

Speaker 4 Like,

Speaker 4 fucking scratch me, doll.

Speaker 4 Gosh, that feels so fucking good. Yeah,

Speaker 4 they don't scratch chests or bellies. And that's a mistake.
She requested a man who asked for his nipples to be scratched.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but the businesswoman insists that there's nothing sexual about the scratching, and she's never broken a nail.

Speaker 4 I love a good scratch. Oh, God, yes.
Love it. Love it.
That said, I could only really get a good scratch, Josh, for so long, and then you'd like it to turn into a stronger rub.

Speaker 4 So I don't really understand this. Can you, would you like your back scratched for an hour? I wouldn't.
I would like to diggy. I like this.
You see what I'm doing here? You see it? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah, this is light. This is light.
I want tickling. I want to be tickled and I want to giggle.
Now I'm getting sick. Officer, he's over there.

Speaker 4 I want to be like diggy on my arm. If there was a machine that could do that, like Elon, stop making this robot and start making just a diggy machine.
Diggy's a... Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah, for that, that light little tickly arm. Oh, fantastic.
I'm all in. I'm all in.
Please. I am all.
in Olivia. You're a professional.
Professional backscratch. You bullish on Diggy?

Speaker 3 Diggy makes me tickle too much. That little rub on the light on the arm.
Can't do it? No, but my roommate in college, she would like sit next to me while we were doing our homework.

Speaker 3 She'd make me do that.

Speaker 4 Wow. This is a very different pod.

Speaker 4 This is for Alex Cooper.

Speaker 4 I got to excuse myself. No, no, no.

Speaker 3 We're just friends, I swear.

Speaker 4 No, seriously.

Speaker 3 No, but she was a big fan of that move. That was something.
It put her to sleep.

Speaker 4 Just on the floor.

Speaker 4 and for me it's magnesium you know to each their own

Speaker 4 josh i have a best bite of the week i don't know if you want to hear it but i do i went to i had been once before just for their opening but i went back new tow group spot shout out noah tepperberg john schwartz called the crane club josh we're gonna go when you come i went to their opening night a couple of weeks ago but you know the food's never it's never perfect that night right i went the other night and it was fantastic absolutely amazing from the pastas to the steak chicken all this stuff he's a kosher steak on the menu this mensch the crane club 16th and 10th we're gonna go it's the bomb the bomb one thing that he had that I wanted to mention it was this little It's like this mushroom risotto rice like cake situation.

Speaker 4 I think maybe it's called oranchini is the name of it, topped with truffles and caviar. Oh my God.
Oh my God. Orancini with truffle caviar blew my mind.
Wow. Blew my mind.
So delicious. Love it.

Speaker 4 Shout out. Love the Tao group.
My best spite of the week is two, actually. The first, because after our failed attempt at the second time for the Jackie episode, I happened to be near Courage Bagels.

Speaker 4 on the east side at just the right time. And my wife's been craving these bagels lately.

Speaker 4 And honestly, so have I. So I've now been eating a lot of Courage bagels.

Speaker 4 And I know on an episode I got a little angry with them because they can be a little long, but god damn it, it's worth every second you wait. God, it's good.

Speaker 4 And the reason that it's long is because it's fresh bacon, baked and fabulous. But oh, these everything bagels, these, they do a sea salt sesame.

Speaker 4 They do a rip and dip. Courage bagels, shout out.
So good.

Speaker 4 And it's so like, it's so annoyingly basic of me to be like, i really like courage bagels but it's so good i can't get over it and then the other one was i don't know if i talked about this all right maybe i mentioned it on the pod but we took my brother-in-law out for a beautiful dinner right before he had his beautiful little son gus shout out will for a dinner at ospi in la ospi this is

Speaker 4 I don't think you've mentioned it. Tell me.
It's Italian food. It's really good.
It's like medium to high end, not like crazy.

Speaker 4 It's not like carbone level spending but the food is outstanding did it through dorsea shout out dorsea use my code i don't know what the code is but use it but dorsea you get the ill reservations wherever you want to go at the hottest places but they dude they do a chicken it's like a chicken melanase but it's a masala right so it's like a chicken parm cutlet with like kind of that delicious kind of creamy almost like it's like a creamy tomato sauce on top with a little bit of those Indian spices.

Speaker 4 Yum. Fabulous.
Fabulous. Give me 14 of them.

Speaker 4 I'll take a case.

Speaker 4 I'm kind of out, Josh, on chicken payard. I think it's done.

Speaker 4 Payard or parm? Hot Payard. Parm, Parm.
Bury me in Parm. I was just thinking about chicken Payard as you were saying that.
And I'm done with chicken Payard.

Speaker 4 I just don't see it. I don't know.
You're getting a pounded flat chicken. They're throwing some arugal on top, spritzing it with a little lemon.
It's not for me. Fair enough.
Fair enough.

Speaker 4 So, because this is the last episode of the year, Josh,

Speaker 4 do you have a wish for the new year? Do you have something that you hope happens in the new year?

Speaker 4 Is there anything that you're thinking about that you're like, if that happens next year, it would be amazing? No, I hope for more rain.

Speaker 4 What'd you say?

Speaker 4 I hope for more rain. You hope for more rain.
Okay, good. That's very native of you.
Good. Thank you.
You know, for the crops.

Speaker 4 You know, they call me agriculture, Josh. The Josha culture.
No, yeah, I don't. This joke doesn't exactly work anymore because of the tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 4 But I'm going to give it to you anyway because it tells you what I think about New Year's.

Speaker 4 It's the early 1900s and they're drawing the lines, the perimeters between or the borders between Ukraine and Russia. And there's a farmer whose farm is right on the border.

Speaker 4 His farm is landing right in the middle of the border between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 4 So the guys drawing the border say, sir, you can decide, would you like the border on the side of Ukraine or on Russia? Which side would you like to be on? He goes, I would like to be in Ukraine.

Speaker 4 And they go, you're giving up your citizenship to Russia, Mother Russia? Why? He goes, I just can't take another Russian winner.

Speaker 4 This is what I think of New Year's. It's just so arbitrary.
It's just made up. You know what I mean? So it's hard for me to make resolutions.
So let's reframe.

Speaker 4 Over the next 12 months, you would like something good to happen in your life, right? It's already happening. It's called Baby Safer, Baby Baruch Hashem.

Speaker 4 Yes, that's a great one. But also, fine, you did one for me.
I'll do one for you.

Speaker 4 I hope that Paige, Max, and Shai are healthy, happy, and have a wonderful year of excitement and that Joshi takes them on a beautiful trip. Thank you.
Yes, definitely. definitely.

Speaker 4 We're definitely, I want to go to Canada with them. I want to go to Vancouver.
And

Speaker 4 yeah, I just, my life, you know, I'm so, I'm really, really lucky. I'm really lucky.
And I really love the podcast and I love the people who listen. We love you, Olivia.
We love dear media. Thank you.

Speaker 4 I love you, Ben. You're a mensch.
You're a mensch.

Speaker 4 My, and our relationship is more important to me than this Fakakta podcast. So no matter what, I will do right by you before I do right by my wallet, which is why I'm going to need a loan.

Speaker 4 But otherwise, no,

Speaker 4 I'm here with the loan. The podcast is here until we die or until somebody kills us.
Somebody's going to kill us. That would be a great way to go.

Speaker 4 Look, if you're targeted, at least you meant something, right? Like, you're nuts, bro.

Speaker 4 That's the thing, though, dude. We don't mean anything.

Speaker 4 We're fucking meaningless. We will be a fucking blip

Speaker 4 like i no it's complete nonsense we're not mozart no one cares like it's nonsense it's so good it's so like oh that's the one thing and when my my friends of mine are lamenting about you know like everyone goes through like existential crisis especially at like kind of our age i would imagine it starts to lessen once you get into your 40s and 50s i hope but it's that and I imagine it happens to entrepreneurs, right?

Speaker 4 Because unless you have a nine to five or something that you went to school for a long time for, and you know, I'm going to be a doctor for the next 40 years or an attorney, people tend to go a little bit like, fuck, you know, what am I doing?

Speaker 4 Like, is it going to work out? Am I going to get my next sale? What does the next 30 years of runway for my life look like? What's my legacy?

Speaker 4 And to that, I always ask the person, is there a chance you're Mozart?

Speaker 4 Is there a chance you are a late stage prodigy that is unrealized? And maybe you're Galileo or Elon Musk? Like, if not, don't trip because you will be forgotten.

Speaker 4 In fact, even if you're Will Smith or you're, I don't know, who else is someone?

Speaker 4 Juan Soto of the New York Times. Everybody Derek Jets.
You you are going to be forgotten because there's only a couple a century. So, what's a century?

Speaker 4 Einstein, Elon, Martin Luther King, JFK, like, sorry, you didn't make it.

Speaker 4 So,

Speaker 4 enjoy.

Speaker 4 Enjoy it. Do your best.
Stop stressing. I've mentioned my same damn quote a thousand times on this podcast, but worrying about tomorrow's troubles only affects today's peace.

Speaker 4 I really live live by that whenever i'm really stressed i'm like what the fuck are you doing to yourself it's cryptic you do it to yourself so just chill i totally agree not everything is that life or death again unless you're a doctor don't listen to us by the way don't listen to us in general no not at all don't listen all right what are you nuts let's get to our what are you nuts or is that like but you know what i'm saying like with like legacy and stuff do you agree do you agree with that of course i do olivia you agree i agree as well my mom actually sent me a video the other day and it was this lady talking about like, do you know the name of your grandfather's father or did you ever get to meet them?

Speaker 3 And just showcasing like how impermanent everything is. So do what you can with right now, enjoy it.

Speaker 3 Then you're quote, you know, don't worry about tomorrow's troubles today because it's just going to impact that. And you know, just do your best to be present in the moment.

Speaker 3 I hope everybody has a really wonderful 2025. And yeah.

Speaker 4 Present in the moment is a great one. One quick thing before what do you nuts is I hope to be able to disconnect my brain a little and disconnect from my phone a little bit more.

Speaker 4 I've gotten worse this year, for sure.

Speaker 4 And the phone, while it's definitely lucrative for us, it's part of our jobs, it's also poison. So I'd like to remove my phone from me a little bit this year.

Speaker 4 What do you nuts? What do you nuts? Let's do it.

Speaker 4 I've spoken about this travel day endlessly, but one piece that I just want want to make sure, I don't, did I talk about the nuts, Josh? Did I talk about the nuts? Yes, they were too hot.

Speaker 4 They burnt your hand. I did it already.
Was it my what? $1,000 seat on you.

Speaker 4 Was it, was it my what are you nuts? I don't think it was your woody nuts, though. I think you just complained.
I think it, I think I just complained. All right, look, my what are you nuts? I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 I'm sitting in my seat. I was forced to pay $1,700 for a first-class seat.
Part of being in first class is that they give you hot nuts. So she goes, but these are not supposed to be scalding.

Speaker 4 She goes to me, you want some nuts? I'm like, sure, I'm hungry. I paid.
I'll take it. She hands me these hot nuts, literally third degree burns.
I swear my hand turned purple.

Speaker 4 The cup, she must have taken the whole cup, put it in the oven, broiled these nuts, and then handed it to me. So that's, it's a, what are you nuts about nuts? What are you nuts? That's good.

Speaker 4 That's double. Double.

Speaker 4 What about you? The other day I was showing my kids Peter Pan. It was one of my favorite favorite movies from the 50s.
And, you know,

Speaker 4 Disney Plus does a disclaimer.

Speaker 4 Yes, I've seen this.

Speaker 4 They go, hey, some of the things in this movie that was appropriate or acceptable in the 50s is no longer acceptable or appropriate. We know, but we're not going to edit the film.

Speaker 4 We're just giving you the disclaimer. So first I was like, what are you nuts? These snowflakes.
I was like, so fragile.

Speaker 4 I put the movie on. I go, thank God for this disclaimer.
This is inappropriate. I was like, oh my God.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there's some crazy shit.

Speaker 4 Was it the Native, is it the Native Americans? Is it that movie? Right? It is, right? They like make like the Native Americans look like it's just, yeah, the disclaimer is necessary.

Speaker 4 I remember I had the exact same experience. I'm like, this fucking people.
I'm never watching Disney again. And then you watch it and you're like, oh, oh, my.

Speaker 4 No, I'm nuts. Disney was right on and

Speaker 4 cartoons in the 50s are what are you nuts?

Speaker 4 They are offensive.
