Pickup Trucks, Prenups & One-Pump Chumps

The following podcast is a DR Media production.

the good guys.

Whoa.

Baruch Hashem and Mazel to you and yours.

This is the Good Guys Podcast.

Welcome back.

BH, you got where you were going safely.

I hope that you didn't hit any traffic.

You want to hear a good Jewish joke I heard recently, Ben?

Sure.

Sadie, the sad Jewish widow, is mourning the death of her husband, Saul, who recently passed.

She said, Oh, I guess I'll have to do an announcement in the newspaper.

So she calls the newspaper, says she wants to do an announcement.

They say, Well, it's $25 a word, ma'am.

She goes, My God, so expensive.

All right, just write, Saul died.

They go, Unfortunately, there's a five-word minimum.

She goes, Fine, write, Saul died Volvo for sale.

That's good.

Very good.

Very good.

The only thing that makes it unrealistic is that a Jew owned a Volvo.

Okay.

It should have been Toyota Sienna for sale.

Volvo

are sick.

Are you into Volvos?

Do you have any feeling towards Volvos?

They're amazing cars.

I just don't know a Jew that owns one.

I don't.

But

Lexus for sale.

Lexus for sale.

Really, Toyota Sienna or Hasidic.

You know, the Khmodniks or Hasida or high-low or anybody with a big family.

If you're like really rich like that, sure, you'll get like a suburban or an escalate.

Otherwise, we're big, like Honda Pilots.

We're big Toyota Camrys.

We're big.

Whatever else is a big, nice, mid-size.

We love an Infinity.

Oh, big Sadie?

Big Infinity group.

But yeah, not many Volvos.

Not many Volvos.

If I had to guess, it's probably the least purchased Jewish car is the Volvo.

No way.

Behind the Volkswagen.

That's probably number one.

But otherwise, yeah, I don't know many Jews with Volvos.

I know one.

That's it.

I would bet you.

No, no, here's the thing, though.

Volvos are above a more affordable car, right?

It's like,

it's at the beginning.

It's an entry-level luxury car.

They are arguably by far the safest car on the road.

I could see plenty of yids in a Volvo.

The thing is, and I'm just realizing this for the first time, the Volvo driver is the Subaru driver, just with some extra scratch.

Like that,

it's the same driver.

And I also don't know many Jews and Subarus.

Suba Jew.

Yeah, I don't know.

Welcome to the Good Guys Podcast.

We generalize Jewish vehicles.

We do.

With absolutely no basis, none.

What should my you can help me?

And I really need a bigger car now.

And while I know you just got a spectacular, beautiful bigger car.

And we have to talk about it because I'm having some problems.

But yes, I'm going to help you.

Oh, yeah, let's talk about it.

I think I need a proper big car now with three kids.

Right now, my kids are in a Land Rover with my wife.

It's great, lovely, safe car.

We love it.

There is a third row, but it doesn't actually house anyone, especially a kid in a car seat.

And so all my kids, all three of them are in the, the second row across, right?

Three car seats across.

It's crowded.

It's a lot.

Okay, so first of all, yeah, the X7 BMW, Josh, roomy, perfect third row.

Beautiful.

Highly, highly recommend.

Now, let me share this, okay?

This is not on BMW.

This is not on the beautiful Rally Motors, wonderful dealership.

Ben, who's it on?

I think it's on BMW, actually.

There is a feature that you cannot shut off, Josh, that when you leave the car the engine shuts what do you walk out you walk out of your car i park my car okay i open the driver's door the car shuts off it's off no matter what i guess it's to save gas auto off if the driver door opens when the car is in park and you can't but obviously there is that button you can't turn it off but you have the button to turn off the auto engine off while you're driving right correct correct okay that's there but not when you leave.

I spoke to a wonderful tech assistant at BMW and he said, it's no longer a feature that you can turn this off.

And this is a what are you nuts, okay?

I'm right saying mine early.

You're getting a BMW X7 probably because you're sporty, but you have a family.

Like that's why you need that much room.

Otherwise, you would go with a souped up X5 or something smaller, whatever.

And the idea that Claudia's in the front seat, Ruby's in the back seat, and I turn off the car to pump gas gas, and all of a sudden they're left in a car with no air conditioning is a huge problem.

Huge.

So do you.

You know, you can't leave a car on while you pump gas.

But that's what I'm saying.

So what do you do?

You have a baby in the car.

You have a hot baby.

Or you're, what do you do?

I can't have him in the car when I pump gas.

That's what this is.

But what if we're on a road trip and I'm running out of gas?

I think for at least if we're talking purely gas, where the car should be off for those, you know,

three minutes that You roll down their window.

In three minutes,

nothing's going to happen to them.

And you pump the gas without, because I don't think anyone is enjoying air conditioning while, unless it's working off the battery, but yeah, it works off the battery.

That's at least the experience that I've had, where the battery stays on.

The engine cuts, but the battery stays on.

And air conditioning can play.

Music can play.

Like the car stays on.

But we can even take it from, that's one experience.

You're totally right.

Three minutes, whatever.

You leave the car.

I go into this just happened.

We're at the gas station.

We're done pumping gas.

I leave the car to go get a couple of snacks.

Car cuts.

It's just fucking annoying.

Sure.

It's just annoying.

That's it.

We don't, we don't.

I don't want to take out the Duna and bring him in.

He's with another adult in the car.

The car should be able to be on with the air conditioning blowing if it's in park and the driver door opened.

It's nuts.

Weird.

I bet you can fix it.

I bet there's a fix.

Well, Jimmy couldn't fix it for me, so I got to find another guy.

Are you trusting a guy named Jimmy?

Yeah, I trust him.

He was good.

You're nuts.

Maybe he wasn't that good.

Who knows?

Okay, so yeah, I would say, actually, I can't now recommend it to you because there's this problem.

I can't know about this problem until you get it.

You know, I love BMW, but I think I need to start going into uncharted territory here.

I'm talking a Chevitaho and or suburban

Toyota Sequoia.

Okay, so I grew up.

I grew up in suburbans, Josh.

They are fucking amazing.

They are, right?

These are amazing cars.

Amazing.

Is that because your dad had it for the catering biz?

Yes, yes.

He had it for the catering biz and it doubled just as like our family car.

So like when he would deliver things, he would roll, throw down those back rows.

And otherwise, we were just in it.

So like that was just like my car.

Benjamin, I put you next to the couscous.

I wish it was couscous.

I'd get in the car.

I'm like, dad, why does the car smell like Kefilta fish?

He's like, oh, no, a tin opened in the trunk.

I'm like, that is vile.

Benjamin, while you're back there, scoop up the kasha.

Can he get my beach chair and a beef shank?

Oh my God, that's too good.

Give me a rack of ribs and the umbrella.

Next to the mint jelly is my tanning lotion.

We're going to Jones Beach.

Move the mint jelly, Benjamin.

Oh my God.

I am going to Jones Beach, by the way.

Google Dolls Dashboard Confessional.

Fuck yeah.

White people.

And unfortunately, I just missed Creed and Daughtry.

I could kill myself that I missed that concert.

That hurts.

Fucking shit.

Okay, yeah, you could go with the Tahoe, but I think the Tahoe is too small.

So you're going to have to go with the Suburban.

The Suburban's big.

I also, I would look at the regular GMs.

The GMs, Josh, are cool too.

The UConn's cool.

That's a cool one.

A UConn is a Tahoe.

And a UConn XL.

Yeah, they're, they're, but you're right.

They're even nicer.

They're all the same.

So I would pick whichever one's the cheapest.

You can't go with an Escalade unless you're looking looking to spend stupid money on literally the same cars.

God, but I drove one.

Cadillac let me drive one for a couple of days because I did their fun little activation in April.

And this Escalade IQ vase me.

They're gorgeous cars.

They really are.

Look, if you can do it, you do it.

I would recommend because I've been in it.

If you're really looking for a boat, my brother-in-law's a Jeep Wrangler, not Jeep Wrangler, a Jeep Wagoneer.

And this is a boat.

Okay.

This is a school bus, but a luxurious school bus.

I recommend it.

I recommend the Wagoneer.

You'll never park again on the street, but I recommend the Wagoneer.

But these Jeeps, men, these Jeeps, men, they're not known for their reliability.

It's like my father.

Interesting.

Jeep.

The Josh's dad of cars.

His name is Jeep.

This is my father, Jeep Wagoneer.

You know, you might know my dad, Jeep Rubicon.

All right, so then we don't like Jeeps.

So then look, you really, you have to go with Chevy.

Chevy is reliable.

These cars are amazing.

God, they're all American.

Or a Ford Expedition?

Ah, that's interesting.

It's a Chevy moment, I think.

I think so.

The suburban's sick.

Okay.

They're really sick.

So now

let me ask you.

But you have to get a color so that you don't look like an Uber driver.

Like you can't get black.

You're going to look like an Uber driver.

You can't get navy.

You're going to look like an Uber driver.

I think a nice gray, like a nice smoke, gunmetal.

Gunmetal is nice, or hunter, like your shirt.

Ooh, I love a green.

I love a green car, a British racing green.

Me too.

So cool.

And that in a suburban, I don't even know if I've seen it.

That might be like extra, like afterwards, like you bring it to like a local LA detailer who can do something sick.

Yeah.

Powder coat the fucking wheels, do a chrome delete.

I love it.

Yeah.

Put in a dispenser for monster energy drinks.

rip out all the back seats putting a put in a bed like a futon hell yes and then you forget why you got it for the kids smoke meth

It happens, okay?

And it's not a problem that it's happening.

The problem is not doing anything about it.

Okay.

If your hair bothers you, do something about it.

If your hair doesn't bother you, by the way, don't do anything about it.

Plenty of people look good bald.

Not me, okay?

Not me, which is why I'm doing something about it.

Okay, now tell me if I'm code switching here.

Yes, my car lease is up in January in about five months.

My wife's is up in November, a year from November.

So, you know, we're formulating.

We're plotting.

We're thinking.

We're building.

We like the idea.

Now let's build.

I might give up my car and get the said big car, the Chevy Suburban, whatever, just so that she can, you know, have a bigger car for the time being.

And I'll drive her car.

But, you know, we're both going to have to give up our car within the next year.

I'm thinking, I'm toying with, I'm flirting with the idea of getting a truck, a proper truck.

An F-150, perhaps.

I love it.

Do you?

Yeah, I do.

Josh Josh G, am I code switching?

I'm a Jew from New York.

I've never hauled anything.

I can go to North Hollywood.

You can do it.

Go with your gut on that one.

Go with the gut.

I love a pickup truck, Josh.

I think they're awesome.

And I don't think it's code switching.

Yes, I'm so here for it.

Yes, your personality will change slightly.

You've met my brother-in-laws, so you know, like I'm code switching for them, but I think that's okay.

It's okay.

You're going to get a Rottweiler that you're going to keep in the back, okay, okay, of your car permanently.

He's never going to set foot in the house.

He can't, not with my allergies.

True.

Okay.

That's why he stays outside.

Yes.

He's an outside dog.

You can lug meat in it.

You have no idea how much stuff you can put in that F-150.

I'm in.

I'm in.

Okay.

Now, let me throw one last little bit of who knows what.

There are amazing deals on like the Ford F-150 Lightning, the electric truck, or I could do like, no, I can't get an electric

truck.

I know, but I've seen

400

400-mile charge.

It's an amazing deal.

Chevy's got one.

Yeah, they're all like, they're nice, like $80,000 plus trucks for like $700 something a month.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah, with your guy.

What's his name?

Teramissu.

What was his name?

Excuse me.

What was his name?

Naninautic.

Ninik.

That was it.

I love it.

Shout out to Nairok.

Okay, yeah.

Or this Vahe.

By the way, get it then.

Get it.

Who am I to tell you to turn down a good deal?

Get it.

And everybody's got plenty of charging stations.

You charge it at your house.

You're not going on more than 400 mile trips in that anyways, because it only fits two people, four people, four people.

If you, okay, if there is a great pickup truck that I should be getting, feel free.

Jump into the DMs.

If you, I don't know.

You have a nice pickup truck dealership in the great Southern California area.

You let me know.

I want to make this a journey.

Maybe I'll do a whole video series of me picking up this new personality.

I'll buy boots.

I'll, you know, I'll change my vote from Kamala to who knows whom.

You know,

it's like that episode of Curb.

It's that episode of Curb.

Remember when Jeff gets the shucker's hat and all of a sudden he's a cowboy?

That's you.

Yes.

That's you.

You're going to go home and your wife's going to only like you in the hat.

That's it.

Totally.

Okay.

I'm in on the pickup truck.

That said, if you're willing to go with something, like, why wouldn't you just get like, it's the polar opposite, but like a cute little sporty convertible?

Well, because because realistically you're not you're not going to use that trunk you're not going to use it i'm never going to use the the bed there's there's nothing for you there's nothing for you there what are you lugging that you can't that you're comfortable risking blowing away in the wind while you drive all my baggage is in here

yeah

there's no need safely in my brain unless you're just going to use it to like store all of your medications and pharmaceuticals oh that'd be good you you could maybe you climate control it You turn it into an extra freezer.

Yes.

Is there anything in the pickup that I should know about?

Just my Claritin.

Get a sports car, something small.

I'm sure he can get you a good deal.

I'm down.

I mean, that's going to be, I got to get a couple of kids through college first before I do the sports car.

But Bill Burr has a great, great joke about that where he bought a Camaro in his 40s, the brand new Camaro souped up.

And people are like, oh, you have in a midlife crisis?

He goes, when was I supposed to buy it?

When I worked at Burger King.

He's like, I have money now.

Yeah.

Now's the only time I can afford it.

Yes.

Okay.

So funny.

Crazy.

So true.

So true.

So tell me, any goings-ons in the Hamptons?

Anything we should know about?

What's the heartbeat of the Hamps?

Heartbeat of the Hamps is great.

Ruby is doing wonderfully, sleeping through the night, going on beautiful walks.

He's a beach bum.

We're taking him to the beach like all the time.

Like the best time to go to the beach.

I'm sure you already know this.

5 p.m.

5 p.m.

It's wonderful.

The sun is no longer so hot.

It's beautiful and breezy.

He's still taking umbrella so that he's not under the sun and he sits in his duna and he sleeps.

He loves the sounds of the ocean.

He sleeps.

I get to go in the ocean.

It's lightly cold.

Josh, you would love it.

It's probably like 70.

It's perfect.

It's perfect.

I'm cooking every meal, literally like a line cook.

I will post what I'm making on for fork, what I'm posting for Fork of July, I'm not making for this group, okay?

I'm making that because I can't film and cook a meal for six, but I'm cooking every single meal, every single night, every meal, every night.

And I'm making some wonderful recipes.

I recently, I had never made, have you made a chicken bolognese, Josh?

If not, I would.

Ground chicken is severely underrated, severely underrated.

I think it's great in a chicken chili.

I think it's great, obviously, in a chicken nugget.

It's great as the base of maybe a high-protein pizza.

It's great.

It's very versatile, fantastic.

Hmm.

So that's the goings on.

Cooking a lot.

We're having a great time podcasting, getting some great work done.

I'm working out like a beast.

I told you.

Create team every day, five millis.

So much so, my T-Rex arms did not fully come back.

I can keep them straight, but I'm definitely feeling it a little bit over here,

which I need, which I need to watch.

I need to watch.

I'm like pumping it out.

And it's not even like on my off days, I'll just go and do three, 12 rep sets of the biceps.

Just like every day, I'm pumping it out a little bit.

And some days it's a lot.

But yeah, I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling good.

Absolute beast mode.

We love you.

We're here for it.

I do want to pose selfishly to the audience and just have some tact with your DMs, but feel free to DM me.

As I mentioned in the last pod, my young little boy, my young shy, he's two years old, and he's been through a lot of life transitions in the last month.

New brother, new school, new bedroom, all these things.

Sharing a bed with his older brother.

Not really.

He keeps going back to the crib because we can't get it to work.

And he's crying.

He's refusing to go to bed.

He's very upset.

I've heard this, that when a child, you know, it's when they become very picky about their food.

And a lot of times with the way they dress and now with their sleep, it's like the few things as a child that you do have control over become very, very important to you in a moment, especially when you feel like there's huge change and you feel powerless.

So we're having a really rough time with him sleeping.

And, you know, we've had these amazing sleep trained kids who basically just go to bed and they sleep 10 hours and it's perfect.

And we went through the hard couple days to get them there.

But my wife brings it up because she's so good at everything as it applies to our kids of like,

we're trying to have some grace with him because it is a huge disruption.

And so we're trying to not like be so rigid with our limits and what we require.

But if anyone has any suggestion about how to help a little Tatula two-year-old through this transition, this process, I'd love any suggestions just because we would like him to sleep again, but we also don't want him to feel utterly, you know, forced into it, forced into yet another change when

he's just being a toddler.

Should we get to your idea for us to pick out what we would order from a restaurant?

Yes.

So we were both greatly inspired by, I don't say the great much, okay?

The great Joey Camasta.

For sure.

This man is a national treasure.

And I think he has stumbled upon a series that is just going to blow him up.

He is.

green screening a menu behind him and he's walking through what he would order at this restaurant.

He hasn't seen the menu before.

He's walking through it.

And I thought, who better than to comment on a menu than two fat fatties who love a gorgeous meal?

Okay.

So, Josh, where should we order from?

Where should we look?

Okay.

He did Hillstone, which I loved.

I like kind of American fare.

It doesn't have to be Cheesecake Factory.

That said, that's interesting.

Too many pages, though.

We're looking for a one-page menu.

And what cuisine, Josh?

And what do we call this segment?

I say we do Hillstone 2.

Let's start it off with the greatest restaurant

franchise in the world.

Hillstone.

And what do we call this, just in case we like it?

Joey's idea?

Menu Mensches.

Menu Mesugas.

I'll have what you're having.

I'll have what you're having.

I like that.

That's good.

Better than menu menshas.

But

I respect it.

Okay, which menu are you looking at?

Which one would you like to go with?

I was thinking maybe Palm Beach.

Great.

Let's do Hillstone, Palm Beach.

Okay, Hillstone.

Palm Beach.

It's not.

Let's do Hillstone either Bell Harbor.

Where is it?

Bell Harbor.

No, no, no.

I've been to that one.

They're missing some menu items.

Let's do the Hillstone Park Avenue.

Fabulous.

The classic.

The classic.

And the dinner menu, obviously.

Of course.

Even though it would be much easier to get a reservation at lunch.

So true.

Okay.

I mean, I already know.

Now, for everybody.

It's the Hillstone Park Avenue menu.

We're going to read.

Should I just read down it?

I don't know.

I'd say, like, let's give.

So there's basically five primary sweets here.

We're dealing with sushi, appetizers, salads, entrees, and then there's a steaks and sides.

Yes.

Okay.

All right.

So for the sushi, by far the best item there, I'm not even looking at the menu is their Osaka style pressed sushi.

This is, this is king.

This is layered rice, tuna.

Let's see exactly what it is.

Sashimi tuna stacked with avocado, spicy tuna, and sushi rice.

It's stacked, and they give you literally little pieces of seaweed on the side where you're supposed to use them to be able to use your fingers.

You dunk them in a little spicy mayonnaise and some soy sauce, plop them in.

Josh, this is fantastic.

A plus roll.

A plus, if you can call it a roll.

I also love the Thai tuna, Josh.

You're going to think that this is a little bit crazy and out there, but it's tuna avocado, macadamia nuts, and jalapenos.

It's my favorite.

It's my favorite roll.

I love it.

It's my favorite roll.

Also, think about a nut in a roll.

It's so good.

Well, if you think about a spicy tuna roll, what's missing, right?

Something crunchy, something nutty, something macadamia-ish.

Sometimes they do cucumber, but if you want to just level it up slightly, you throw that big fatty piece of nut in there.

I love it.

I love a nut.

I love it.

Because the avocado, the thing is, I do a spicy tuna avocado, but it's too much mush.

It's mush on mush.

You need something to break up the mush.

I don't think enough people are using nuts.

I would also go as far to say and this is an off-menu thing that you can get at least at the hillstone in santa monica do they make a california roll like you've never had really it is so good and it's not the way we've come to know california rolls it is so elevated sure there's an elevation that happens and you're you're not cultured if you're thinking to yourself you're ordering sushi at a american fair this is the best sushi period period so fresh better than japan it's unbelievable literally they are japan okay it's owned by the japanese

Japanese.

Is it?

Okay, no.

No, I completely made that.

Oh, is it?

Uh-huh.

Thank God.

Of course.

Have you ever seen the efficiency?

Bring the spinach archo tip to

the two chubby Jews in the corner.

Unta, post-haste.

Unta, the Jew, the Jew booth asking for more

spicy mail.

The Jews are hungry for the spicy mail?

Oh my God.

I am the Jew hungry for spicy mail.

All right.

Appetizer.

Spinach artichoke tip.

A plus.

A freaking plus.

Okay.

This is so, it's so unbelievably delicious.

It's almost as good.

I love a grilled artichoke, Josh.

I love a grilled artichoke.

I know it's a lot of artichokes.

The spinach artichoke tip and the grilled artichoke, but I would get them both.

I'm also a sucker for deviled eggs.

Pop them in.

They're like candy.

I take deviled eggs to the movies.

Yes.

Right?

You kidding me?

Would I get kicked out if I brought in a jeep tray of deviled eggs?

Or oysters?

Yum.

I'm in.

Salads?

Or are you good on the, you have anything else to add on that?

I like

spinach artichoke dip.

Look, I think if you got two rolls of spinach artichoke dip and artichoke, you're perfect shape.

You could also do a jumbo shrimp cocktails, gorgeous.

And then salad-wise, and again,

they're like

these salads, Joss.

These salads are so good.

The Pan-Asian noodle salad, and honestly, the grilled chicken salad's been good for a millennia.

I think the seared ahituna salad is like one of the best ever.

It's with an almond sauce, a salad of mango, cucumber, sesame miso dressing.

It is phenomenal.

And yeah, that, yeah, that kale and rotisserie chicken salad, A,

the Yellow Tail sashimi salad.

This is my problem with Hillstone.

I go there, I order everything

because it's all so good.

All so good.

And then if you're going to go on, Treys, I really, this Hawaiian,

I mean, obviously there's so many good different things there, the ribs that they're so famous for, but the Hawaiian ribeye is such a moment because you usually think a great ribeye, don't put it in shit.

Don't marinate, overly marinate it.

Let the meat speak for itself.

In this case, you know what?

Say aloha.

You know, say ma fucking hollow because it's about to be a Hawaiian explosion in your face.

So good.

I love that.

And honestly, their tuna tartare, I know it's weird.

You're going to look at it in the entrees and you're going to say, why is that there?

Because it's enormous and it's unbelievable.

It's so delicious.

They give you fanned avocados, some christinis.

It's fantastic.

And don't sleep at all.

I know this is going to be crazy.

Don't even sleep on their salmon.

They do everything perfectly.

This is the perfect piece of salmon.

If you're looking for a piece of salmon,

they get the perfect just like char on top.

It's always cooked to perfection.

And they have this coleslaw on the side.

Where's the side?

It's a dings coleslaw.

The coleslaw.

Holy smoke.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

Unbelievable.

And then so good.

You end it with, you end it with the ice cream sundae.

Unbelievable.

I'm starving.

I'm starving.

This is a terrible segment.

I'm starving.

That was fun.

Should we get to a speakpipe?

We should.

And that was.

Go to speakpipe.com/slash good guys.

Keep it brief.

Brevity is key.

Let's hear from Anonymous.

Hi, good guys.

Love the show.

Jewish Canadian calling in all the way from the great white north.

My beautiful Goyisha husband and I really disagree on this topic.

And it got me thinking because you guys were talking about last week how if you have friends over for a meal, you do not want to be charged a single thing.

I totally agree but where we disagree is if you're having friends over to your country house as we know in our beautiful community a lot of people like to escape the cities on the weekends be it the Hamptons or in our case the Muskokas or the eastern townships so if we're having friends over for the weekend do we provide all the food and our guests are expected to neither pay nor provide any of the food or do they just bring the booze and we do all the food and as we know food can be up to hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a long weekend whereas you bring a couple good bottles of wine and a couple of brewskies you're in for about a hundred to a hundred fifty dollars let me know your thoughts love you both dearly bye first of all love you do we think this wonderful amazing listeners of ours is in the Hoffman family she sounds like a sibling of Robbie Hoffman she did a little she did and as we know the great Robbie Hoffman who's absolutely crushing it right now and is so deserved and by the way I feel like we were we were fans of hers before she got hot hot hot totally maybe we catapulted her career you're welcome as we know many of her lovely sisters because she's one of 10 live in Canada just I don't know it made me really excited maybe it was her sister Yehudis it's possible it's totally possible Josh what I will say is don't entertain if you're cheap I'm gonna fight you hard on this.

You can't fight me hard on it.

Go out to a dinner.

If you want to split a meal, go out to dinner.

Are you coming to my house?

You can't charge them.

You can't can't charge them, Josh.

It's not about charging them.

What is the expectation?

If you're going to come over to someone's house and completely like and

bring nothing.

You're bringing nothing.

Well, you shouldn't.

You should be a good guest, but you can't expect it.

You should be coming to my house and you should be bringing whatever you felt was appropriate, a bottle of wine, a bottle of this or that, et cetera.

If you want to be very proactive and say, hey, I'm going to order us in dinner tonight.

What do you want?

No problem.

if you want to bring a rack of ribs because you want us to cook it no problem but if you're invited to my house for the weekend the bare minimum is that i feed you in the house that's my opinion i agree i agree with you that there is an expectation of you to feed them but if you let me just say if you go to someone's house for a weekend and you're not offering up not only not only do you not bring you need to bring a gift and offer to pay for at least one meal you're a schnurrer of course you're a schnurrer Like you should be ashamed of yourself.

Of course.

But as a host, you need to be comfortable with getting nothing.

That's all.

But I completely agree with you that if you are showing up to somebody's house for the weekend and offering nothing, you're a very bad guest and you probably won't be invited again.

And it's above and beyond.

Like you need to factor in these things where it's like, okay, it's the weekend.

How much, like, how much are they going to spend on food?

Like 500.

Depending how many people, 500 to a thousand bucks for the weekend of food and alcohol like a thousand percent so you should be saying like how can i offset a third of that cost correct

correct all that i'm saying is that the host cannot demand it like that's tacky in my opinion you're right just but be a good guest offer a hundred percent and by the way as the host you can accept it you don't have to be like holier than thou no it's fine it's fine if they offer they probably mean it you can accept the offer.

And there's ways in which to do it efficiently and elegantly.

Order gold belly a week before and have a beautiful bagel and spread come for Saturday morning, Sunday morning with no bread and cream cheese, the whole thing.

They will be, they'll be talking about you to their French.

You know what the soffers did?

You know what they had sent to my home.

I thought it was an Amazon package, but it reeked.

Turns out.

I thought it was Amazon.

I left it out for a month.

And now I have cats.

I have a cat problem.

Next one's from Alicia.

Hi good guys.

I just had a question.

It may be a little TMI, but I wondered what you guys think of

when guys do the one pump chump.

Because I was talking to this guy, it was like around three months.

And then I feel like toward the end, this will be kind of like a situationship I guess you'd call it but obviously I had feelings for him and I feel like I thought he had feelings for me too it was going well and then I feel like toward the end of us hooking up it was two times I feel like let's just say it was one pump and that's why I call it the one pump jump So I was just wondering

from your guys's perspective, do guys like get so embarrassed that, you know, they just want to end it and kind of you know he didn't tell me really why I feel like he just kind of ghosted when I told him I had feelings so I just wondered if it was because of that because I feel like it was going well until that happened so I just wondered is this

guys

Is this English?

It sounds like she was dating a guy.

They hooked up twice.

He completed way too quickly and was so embarrassed that he called things off.

Got it.

one pump chump is the term i that she used yes i've never heard that before

never okay all right so what's her question like if she's calling him a one pump chump obviously she embarrassed him and that's why he left like he's embarrassed you just called him a one you made up a gross term i think she's hurt because she told him despite that she told him that she had feelings and wanted to keep seeing him and he ghosted her so he she's calling him that to us Did she say, like, despite you being a one-pump chump, I still love you?

I don't think so.

But despite you being a loser, I still want to be with you.

Ghosting's never nice.

I'll say that.

You should always tie a ribbon and say your piece.

But speak more to the one pump from a male's perspective.

Like, would you be embarrassed?

How would you handle it?

I have no idea, honestly.

I think that it would be the highest form of flattery, right?

Like, I don't know why it would be embarrassing.

It's embarrassing to think she's so beautiful.

Like, what, what is it?

Or, like, I don't know, like, is there any other reason why you would be so quick?

No, unless like you're not doing any handiwork.

Mom, turn this off.

You're just beta as fuck, I guess.

No, I'm kidding.

You could be, but, like, I think

it's I just can't relate.

You know what I'm saying?

Like,

we're 10 pump chubs.

Yeah, min minimum.

Min 10, bro.

What do you think?

Here's my thoughts on this from when I was out there dating and absolutely painting the town red.

This is my thought.

Hooking up with someone for the first time is always, there's, it's going to be awkward and new.

And it's never going to be like the 20th time you do it.

And you get into a great groove and it's just like fun and you know each other and you're more comfortable.

And from the male's perspective, I can only speak to my own, like there is performance anxiety, right?

And so I think part of the reason why I had more successful endeavors was because I made my piece with the idea, like this first time, like it's either going to be too quick, too long, too awkward, or like there's something going to be not right about this.

But here's the good news.

I'm going to be ready to do it again in like 20 minutes.

So

let's just not judge this.

Have fun.

Everyone's going to like, we're getting to know each other.

This is going to be, hopefully, you know, a great learning experience about what are each other's needs, what we like, what we maybe like less.

And just kind of like, we're going to get to know each other through this experience and we can't know each other right away perfectly.

And that's why, knock wood, I've never, I haven't had a lot of these experiences because I learned early on that like, if I'm going to be judged on this first attempt, I lose.

God, good time, Josh.

Excuse me, all aboard.

Dude, dude.

I know he just went, but ready to go again.

Yeah, dude.

I'd be like, and then dad, I can, I'm like, I can't knock your socks off this first time, but what I can give you that the rest might not be able to is a quick recharge.

Is I'm, I'm ready.

I'm ready, Freddie.

Yeah.

Ready, Freddie.

I think also, like, when this happens, there's like the guy and the girl both have a really unique opportunity.

One for the guy to say something, like say something cool or say something funny that's not going to make it weird.

Yes.

And then for the girl to respond with something cool or something funny that I think speaks more to her of like how she's able to handle the situation to just like make it a thing.

So like for him, I don't know if like he tried to say something and she made it weird and he was just like, all right, yeah, fuck this.

This is bad.

Or like, you know what I mean?

Versus if she like said something funny or cute or whatever and it was just like, oh, all right, she's actually like really cool.

i'll i'll be back we'll try this again for sure she probably called him a one pump chump

and he left that's it's very it's easy like if you're willing to tell us that over a speak pipe like i'm i i think she must have jokingly said oh you're a one pump chump and he's like what the is that i'm out yeah

did you make that up i'm gonna leave right now how about that

one pump jump

oh man yeah i'm trying to think of if like there were any yeah i mean inevitably when you hook up with people and and if you you know go through a time where you're like kind of hooking up with a couple different people it's i think you learn a lot you learn a lot about intimacy and making people there is nothing like feeling comfortable with another person and being able because we walk around so uptight and and then we take our clothes off which is like the scariest thing you can do in front of another person and just hope that they don't laugh or hope that they don't go like, what is that scar?

Why do you have that skin there?

What's going on there?

And like when someone just totally takes you in and goes like, yeah, dude, I'm in.

This is awesome.

You go like, oh, thank God.

Totally.

Right.

And by the way, if, and by the way, if somebody takes off their shirt and you say, what is that scar?

Please don't.

They'll tell you what the scar is when they want to.

Okay.

You don't need to ask.

Don't nickpick somebody's body ever, ever, unless it's us and like we're joking about fatty's.

fair.

Totally fair.

This next one's from Anonymous.

Hi, Josh and Ben.

Oh, wow, you guys really do mean brevity is key because this can only be 90 seconds.

Okay, well, first, I just wanted to start off and say that I'm a Gen Z and not Jewish.

So I know that's going to be a shocker for both of you.

But my question is, because you guys answered a couple episodes back, this girl's question, what credit card should she get, which I loved.

So my question is, what are your guys' thoughts on treatups?

Like, initial thoughts?

Because they can kind of be like a touchy subject.

Like, is it something to take offensively?

Like, I don't know.

Like, my parents have been married for 20 years.

Like, they've known each other since they were little.

So they like obviously don't have a pre-nub or anything.

So, like, their views are, like, very different on them.

But I'm also just a little bit confused by it because

I'm just younger.

So, like, none of my friends have any assets or anything.

Like,

anything that they have is like their families.

And so is there like different types of prenubs?

Because, like i don't want to take anything from my partner's family like but i do think that like what he makes and i make like i would like to share that but like i don't want to take anything from his family or anything that his family has given him or like anything that my family's given me like it can that be separated i don't know like that does just doesn't make any sense like why would you get married to someone and then all of a sudden have everything like accessible to you that like is their families that doesn't make sense anyway okay

bye Thank you.

Was she saying, first of all, you sound lovely and rich.

Was she saying pre-nub?

Yeah.

Okay.

Sweet, sweet girl.

It's pre-nub, like nuptials with a P.

It's not pre-nub, like, I don't even know what a nub, what that would be.

But yes, you can get a pre-nub is just a legal document pertaining to the financials of a husband and a wife.

You can come up with any, you can pay a lawyer any amount of money, right, Josh, to come up with anything you want.

So if you don't want to have a formal prenup, but you want to just make sure that you and your husband's rubies from

family estates are protected, you can do that, right?

And I don't think that anybody would ever take offense to protecting family, at least I would in the assets.

Josh?

I think that, sorry, I was trying to look up some prenup statistics, but I have heard some recently, something to the effect of like, how if you have a prenup, you're actually way more likely to stay together than people who don't.

Interesting.

There could be nothing less sexy and romantic about a prenup, but it is incredibly grown up.

And you're basically like facing the worst case scenario from jump street and getting like very clear.

It's also revealing of what you're because it's not until your feet are to the fire that you would see someone and what they like really care about.

So if the person you're so obsessed with is like, I love you so much, I don't need a thing except everything.

you'd be like, huh, okay, good to know.

So my experience was I support my mom.

And so when Paige and I were getting married, I just had to make sure that my mom was taken care of because I knew that if one day we got divorced, I could sleep on a couch, but my 80-year-old mother could not.

So I, and Paige knew this, like I had one meeting with a lawyer once who basically said, anything you made before the marriage is yours and that could protect your mom.

And everything you make going forward would be, you know, shared community property per California law between you and your wife.

I'm like, 50-50, me and my wife.

She's like, yep.

I said, beautiful, done.

Like, so I didn't get one because I knew that I had a little bit of scratch saved that could go to my mom and the God forbids.

And anything going forward should be 50-50 between my wife and I.

So, uh, so yeah, but I think, you know, the thing with prenups, though, what she should know is that, you know, if you do it the right way or the only way, both the husband and the wife need separate lawyers.

They both need to be represented because they both need to have someone looking out for their interest in the negotiation and what they inevitably sign.

Cause you wouldn't want one partner to be like, well, we shared a lawyer and they kind of pushed me in a way.

Yeah, you can't share a lawyer.

We also don't have one.

We met too young, right?

Like, I think that this is typically, it's interesting.

She's talking, that's why I said she must be very wealthy because she's Gen Z and talking only about each other's family money.

Right.

So to me, I never understood why family money would be considered communal property.

That doesn't make sense to me at all.

Like that should just be rewritten that if you, Josh, have, or Paige has a trust fund that was given to her at birth by her great grandfather, that all of a sudden, because she married you 30 years later, that you're entitled to half of that is like, is weird to me.

I don't know if I'm unique in that, but that's strange.

No, you're right.

Otherwise, like, yeah, whatever you make together, you're a unit.

Like, that's, I mean, maybe that's just the New York state law and the California state law talking, but 50-50, you're a unit.

Otherwise, don't get married.

It's very easy.

You don't have to, you don't have to get married.

You don't have to be.

But if you do get married and you don't have a prenup, stick around for 10 years and then you get alimony for life if you ever break up.

Partey.

Let's go.

And then never remarry because then you lose the alimony.

So don't be an idiot.

there's so many people

so many people just cheating that system god i know it's shitty oh my god oh my god do you have a what are you nuts oh you go first our what are you nuts moment of the week are our gripes with people places and things both big and small whatever is sticking in your craw mine is called crime con there's conventions for crime that's right it's something i'm learning it's new yeah my buddy was telling me about it and it's cool because there's obviously like crime podcasts crime books, and stuff like this that people love.

But then you could also just go to like the Casey Anthony booth.

And I think that's odd that you'd want her autograph.

So strange.

People that have been involved in crimes, people that have been exonerated of crimes, maybe people who've done some time.

CrimeCon, baby.

There's a kink for everyone.

What are you, nuts?

What are you, nuts?

Completely nuts.
