Speaker 1 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Speaker 3 It's kind of like we're at a bar mitzvah and we're hoisting the chair.

Speaker 3 Applebees 2425.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine getting Applebees to cater your bar mitzvah?

Speaker 3 Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
I mean,

Speaker 3 this is, look, and I know that they must have like a catering Josh department that gives you even better than the bees. And the bees is already, how much better can the bees get?

Speaker 3 But when you go to Applebee's catering, you just know that stuff is off the charts. Like at corporate, like at corporate, they're eating a different level of the bees.
They're eating the bees' knees.

Speaker 1 I want to go to Applebee's Corporate. I think I make sense there.

Speaker 3 I would love to go to Applebee's Corporate. Josh, if you, if you worked at Applebee's, okay, what would you do?

Speaker 1 Listen, I'm the fun bar manager, okay?

Speaker 1 I'm behind there. I'm like Tom Cruise and Cocktail.
I'm shaking up Sangrias and whatnot.

Speaker 1 You know, there's a couple cougars at the bar who's giving me eyes. And

Speaker 1 I'm letting them believe I could be interested while I have a wife and kids at home, but it keeps me alive. It's

Speaker 1 fun.

Speaker 1 It's fun. It's the promise that it might be, but it never will.

Speaker 3 I think, Josh, I could have two. You let me know what you think of this.
I could either have a boring job.

Speaker 3 I think I would be great at like licensing and like putting together new big Appleby's, but then also.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're thinking you'd work at Applebee's corporate. I'm over here at the car manager.

Speaker 1 This is what I think of myself.

Speaker 3 Corporate. But then also, I'm just saying, I also think I would make a kick-ass Mater D.
You come in, by the way, you slip me a five on getting you a seat.

Speaker 3 If you're not coming in with any cash in hand, you can go back to your car. Okay.
You can go back to your car. Any little,

Speaker 3 small. five bucks you're getting a great table i'm even giving you a soda on me we're gonna rank it we're gonna there's going to be different rewards based on how much money you give me.

Speaker 3 You give me a 20, that two for 25 just turned into a four for 25. Don't tell corporate, okay? You give me a hundred.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's steal from corporate.

Speaker 3 Who knows?

Speaker 1 You as a matrix, I see you charging for mints and toothpicks.

Speaker 1 You know, I see you seeing someone with a little something in their tooth. You go, listen, I might have something that can help you, and it might be $3.

Speaker 1 just put it right here put it right here and the wooden stick is yours i see me and a cook named anthony ripping darts outside of the local applebee's we're talking about our life our struggles and then i go i got to get back to the fryer i got a couple boneless swings in there i got to get them out what would you say are the percentage chance of if your name is Anthony, your God-given name is Anthony, that you end up being a line cook.

Speaker 3 What are the chances? Likely. Likely.

Speaker 3 Likely, right? Like very, very high. Very high.
And such a great chef's name. Chef Anthony.
Fantastic. Yeah, Anthony Brest.
Rest in peace. Rest in peace.
Yeah, you agree. He loved Applebee's.

Speaker 3 I can tell you that. He loved it.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. And the truth is, you could say anything about the dead.

Speaker 3 Of course, Amber and Robin Williams loved Applebee's.

Speaker 1 They loved it.

Speaker 3 They loved it. And let me tell you, I heard that Joan Rivers choked on the 2 for 25 right before she passed.

Speaker 1 True.

Speaker 3 She was eating that fet of chi and they told her, you can't eat within eight hours. She's like, I have to get the two for 25 before I go under.
Dead.

Speaker 1 Yes, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was a beehead. Okay.

Speaker 1 This guy said water to wine, more like water to a banging burger. Who wants wine?

Speaker 1 You could have be,

Speaker 1 oh my God.

Speaker 1 I have a burger.

Speaker 3 And Josh, the unlimited, let's talk about the unlimited sodas, okay? You go, this is a classic establishment.

Speaker 3 You go, you order a beautiful, you order a beautiful soda, and that those free refills are just coming. They're coming.
They're coming. They're coming.
All of a sudden, I've had 15 Diet Pepsis.

Speaker 3 All of a sudden, I go to the bathroom. I come back.
It's fantastic. It's the best.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm banging

Speaker 1 Diet Pepsis, Sierra Mist. Does that still exist? Has it become starry?

Speaker 3 I think it's starry.

Speaker 3 I still don't know. I don't know.
It's so confusing.

Speaker 1 Delish PepsiCo. Shout out.

Speaker 3 Gosh, we need a great night. Okay.
Let's talk about this night out. It's not just Applebee's, right? Applebees is a part of our beautiful night.
We're going, me and you, we're going to suburbia.

Speaker 3 Okay, that's where the great bees live. We're going to New Jersey, the great state of New Jersey.
Me and you, we're driving out there. We're listening to what on the radio?

Speaker 3 What are we listening to as we drive out smash mouth taylor swift creed on repeat by the way there was a creed concert last week with daughter and i missed it i wanted to literally kill myself i literally saw that i'm like oh my god i can't believe that i missed it we're listening to creed can you take me to applebee's and we're driving down we're driving down we see applebees in the distance but we think to ourselves josh do we want to eat applebees before we go to the movies or do we want to go to the movies before we eat applebees it's a tip it's a question, an age-old question.

Speaker 3 Do you eat before or after the movies?

Speaker 1 I think, look, the truth of the matter is you're going to get tired in the movie. Eat before.

Speaker 1 Yes. That's what I say.
Eat before, get a nice base layer.

Speaker 1 Then, you know, you can do a little snackies at the movie theater, but you're not going to go in, because you want, if you're going to go in substantial, you want to fill the belly with the bees.

Speaker 1 And then maybe you sprinkle a little, you know, movie theater snacks after. Just a dusting.

Speaker 3 So you're the type of person you're seeing a Broadway show, you're seeing Othello Denzel, you're in the city, you're eating at five o'clock before

Speaker 1 that. Would just fit into my feeding window.
I just

Speaker 1 get out at nine o'clock. Who wants to eat then?

Speaker 3 I know. It's funny.
Now that I think about it, I really'm asleep most nights. You text me at 5:30 PT.
I'm not seeing it till the next day. I'm

Speaker 3 like phone down at 8:30. Wow.

Speaker 3 Because Ruby goes down at 8:15. And if I don't get my Z's, when he gets his Z's, I don't get my Z's.

Speaker 3 So I'm out. I'm out.
So yeah, the Othello, I'm probably eating before.

Speaker 3 I'm going in. I'm catching the first 10 minutes, and then I'm going home to go to sleep.

Speaker 1 I think it's really wild to eat. past nine o'clock.

Speaker 1 Like, I remember it being a thing, and I know I'm showing my age, and I like to think of myself as a youngish, middle-aged guy, but something about eating late is as masuga as masuga gets.

Speaker 3 It's so crazy. And I distinctly remember a time where, like, if I got a reservation before 10 p.m., I was a loser.

Speaker 3 Like, you're going, I guess it's like you're going out so you know that, like, your night isn't really starting until 12. Right.
Like, that's when that made sense.

Speaker 3 But if dinner is the last part of your night, it must be latest 7:30. I really, my latest dinner these days, I love eating at 5:30, 6, 6.30.
It's the only way.

Speaker 3 It's fantastic. It's the best.

Speaker 1 And the truth of the matter is, too, is that, I mean, in LA, New York's such a later town, but in LA, everything's shut down by two. So this was a move, right?

Speaker 1 When you're, you know, you're 23 years old, you're, you know, you just had a show with your name in it. You go.

Speaker 1 You meet up with a club promoter named Buster, right? And he's been out at all these day parties.

Speaker 1 He's got these Saudi billionaires with him and all these randos out here from, you know, Dayton, you know,

Speaker 1 some of Dayton's best have been here.

Speaker 3 The CEO of Applebee is

Speaker 3 killing us.

Speaker 1 And he goes, come on, we're going to go Katsuya before we're going to do a little spicy tuna, Krispy Rice. I go, can't we go to the Bees?

Speaker 1 I'm not just going to go waste my time at Katsuya.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God. The 2 for 25 table side.

Speaker 1 Table side?

Speaker 3 Oh, my God. They need a partner with like Marquee Day Club so you can get a two for 25 on your tab.
Holy smokes and

Speaker 1 it's more like bees service.

Speaker 1 Should we should we open? Should we start eating some of this? It smells so good and mine's hot.

Speaker 3 We should

Speaker 1 smoke mine.

Speaker 1 Oh baby.

Speaker 1 So as you said the two two for 25 deal

Speaker 3 This is a nice portion of chips.

Speaker 1 And you know what? Those chips, you can tell, they're going to have good mouthfeel.

Speaker 3 Of course, and listen to this crunch. You ready for this? This is going to be a nice ASMR moment.
Listen to this crunch. Let me hear it.
I don't want to drop all my chips. One, two, three.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 Like, I just stepped on a crack and broke my mother's back. That type of crack.
Ready for this? Sorry, mom. I didn't mean for you to catch a stray.

Speaker 1 Man, sorry, Ava.

Speaker 1 And we all know that it's been Bruce with the back issues.

Speaker 3 Yeah, look at this. Look at that.
Nah.

Speaker 1 Look at that. Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Spinach.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 It's so genius.

Speaker 3 And if they wanted to, they could really make a spinach and artichoke soup, Josh, and not change the recipe.

Speaker 3 Two, you talk about a two for 25. Imagine getting a spinach, artichoke dip and a spinach artichoke soup.

Speaker 3 I'm going to be 225 by the end of this episode.

Speaker 3 I've been 225 since I was 13.

Speaker 1 Unbelievable. Okay, I got another app here from Aptown.

Speaker 1 And these are called a little classic called

Speaker 1 Onion Rings. Heard of them? Oh, my God.
Heard of them.

Speaker 3 Josh, is there anything better in the whole world? It literally makes you want to play the lottery.

Speaker 1 When you go to a diner, you order.

Speaker 3 Maybe it's a grilled cheese, maybe it's chicken fingers. You order a side of french fries, but they give you two loose onion rings.

Speaker 1 It's unbelievable. And they're a little too crispy because someone was willy-nilly with the fryer.
Correct.

Speaker 1 I like when I can taste, and this isn't Applebee's, but you go to those renegade diners in the middle of wherever the hell in New York, and you go, they haven't changed the oil in some time, and I'm fine with it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, absolutely. No, you're good with it.
Whatever diseases coming my way, I wished it.

Speaker 3 I wished it, Josh. All right, so you're trying those onion rings.
And Josh, I'm sorry, I can't wait. I'm digging into my entree.
I got this chicken parm dedicine. Like, are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 And it comes with a, and it comes with a gorgeous, juicy breadstick.

Speaker 3 Oh, oh, my God.

Speaker 1 What? Why? Can you imagine you're going to some, you know, some place you're trying to be a poser, right? You, you know, your wife's been giving you a hard time.

Speaker 1 You usually do the B's, but your wife's like, oh, it's our anniversary. You're like, yeah, let's go to the B's.
And so she makes you go to some Michelin star BS restaurant.

Speaker 1 Would you hate if they gave you a a breadstick? Would you hate if you were having amikasi sushi at that one spot in the Japanese subway terminal?

Speaker 1 And after that incredible piece of mackerel, they go, and here's a breadstick. Whoever says no to one?

Speaker 3 No one, Josh. No one says no to a breadstick.
That's why, look at this gorgeous breadstick. It's fantastic.
It came. I didn't order it.
I ordered a chicken parmettaccine and it came right on top.

Speaker 3 How easy is that? Josh, I talk so much like Ina these days, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 She's in my lexicon.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. I know, right? What is our special onion rings? Applebee's Olivia approves.

Speaker 3 Do you want me to wait for you to try this chicken barn pettuccine?

Speaker 1 I'll jump in right now. How good does it feel, Ben? And I know that you're going to agree, to be a great eating partner.
Because you know how some people are not good eating partners.

Speaker 3 Oh, oh, I know. My wife.
My wife. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Say more about that.

Speaker 3 I just, I order everything. That's why I order so much food because I want to try things, but she doesn't want to try anything.

Speaker 3 That said, she tried this chicken barn fettuccine from Applebee's and even she said that it was a 10 out of 10 because the bees are it.

Speaker 1 That's big.

Speaker 1 So she's Claudia approved because she's a picky poly.

Speaker 3 It's turdy approved. She's a picky poly, but you know, she loves, she doesn't want that over-the-top Michelin star omikase.
She's not dazzled by that. She's truly dazzled by a breadstick.

Speaker 3 She's dazzled by a breadstick.

Speaker 3 As am I. All right, folks, look, I'm going to try this gorgeous fettuccine.

Speaker 1 I think think if Christopher Nolan puts me in another movie, I'm taking him to Applebee's to celebrate.

Speaker 3 As you should.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say. As you should say, Sir Chris, well, let's go to Serbies.

Speaker 3 Sir Chris, let's go to Serbes. Let's give it a taste.

Speaker 3 Oh.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 3 Oh,

Speaker 3 are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 Baby girl, what's your name?

Speaker 3 Let me talk to you. Let me buy you a drink at Applebee's.

Speaker 1 Sheesh.

Speaker 3 I'm just saying, T-Pain, if you sue us, honestly, you got no chill.

Speaker 1 You're misguided, T-Pain.

Speaker 1 By the way, you know that when I used to do all these college gigs, I think I was like on the same tour as T-Pain because I would go do Northeastern. I go do, you know,

Speaker 1 wherever the heck, SUNY Oneonta. And they'd be like, you know, we just had T-Pain last week.
And I'd be like, wow. We should tour together.
Could you imagine that?

Speaker 3 The T-Pain Jock Peck tour. Double header.
Honestly.

Speaker 3 Honestly, I love it. I see it.

Speaker 1 I totally see it. It's kind of goals.

Speaker 3 It's kind of goals. Josh, that was so good.

Speaker 3 That was so delicious.

Speaker 1 You know what else Applebee's would be good for? A good, like, like, I remember growing up in the city, there was an Applebee's in Times Square, and it was right by this movie theater.

Speaker 1 So we would go to the movies. We'd go buy one movie.
We'd see three. And then we'd hit up the bees, right?

Speaker 1 And we're knocking down, you know, the boneless nugs, you know, the boneless wings we're hitting a couple happies and i remember like at 17 18 i remember i went to go see the movie scream i think scream two or three

Speaker 1 okay scary with some really lovely girls that were out of my league from queens and they were like what should we do after this and i was like clearly we should go to applebee's and

Speaker 1 And while we never, you know, we never kept in touch, it was a nice afternoon.

Speaker 3 It was a nice afternoon.

Speaker 3 Josh, is Applebee's, i mean you obviously have it on the west coast but i feel like it's a very east coast thing or maybe it's just a nationwide thing because let me tell you when i was growing up it was a destination to go to the bees this was a beautiful night we're going to the mall catching a bees in the mall right that's it that was like the all-time bees the bees in the mall where you have an amc you're getting you're getting ready for that beautiful movie.

Speaker 3 I don't know what we're seeing. Maybe I'm seeing School of Rock for the fourth time and I was grabbing a

Speaker 3 meal. And let me tell you, this, this Applebee's has been

Speaker 3 here all along. And the fact that I hadn't had it until recently again, now I'm hooked.
I've had it five times this week. Applebee's is it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I had it yesterday. I went to the one in Long Beach with my sister-in-law and she was like, and listen, my sister-in-law,

Speaker 1 well known, not a nice person. Sorry, Taylor.
No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 She's the best. But

Speaker 1 she loves, like, this is her jam to the 10th power. We always joke with Taylor that it's like the girl loves a hot dog.

Speaker 1 Like she loves good American continental fare, chicken parmesan, you know, fettuccine, totally up her alley. And she was like, this is so good.

Speaker 3 I was like, yeah. So good.

Speaker 1 I only take you to the best places.

Speaker 3 So good. Applebee's is it, folks? I'm telling you, you got to try the two for 25 deal.
You get an app, you get two entrees. It's the perfect date, man.

Speaker 3 As my wife wife would say, it's a great grab a slice place. Do you know that story, Josh? Grab a slice? No.

Speaker 3 So, and I got a lot of shit for this. My, one of my best friends, his name is Jack.
I've known him since I'm 13 years old.

Speaker 3 His girlfriend at the time, I don't know, I guess we're 20 years old, loved to grab a slice. She was just like, her date night was like, let's grab two slices.

Speaker 3 And one time I turned to Claudia and I was like, why can't you just want to grab a slice like Ashley? And she's like, and that put me in the doghouse.

Speaker 3 And so literally ever since she'll like, when she grabs a slice of pizza, she's like, is this grabbing a slice that's good enough for you?

Speaker 1 Oh, my. What do you think is like,

Speaker 1 can you think, I like, I have a memory of spilling champagne all over Paige in Paris at some very rich person's table at a club. And I just was like, we're getting a divorce.

Speaker 1 Like, she just looked at me in a way I was like, I think, I don't think she thinks of me the same way anymore.

Speaker 1 And it was just me joshing it. I was just being kooky and zany.
And an arm went as she was pulling back her champagne and

Speaker 1 she was just saturated. Like, you know, when someone comes back from getting hit with some liquid and they go.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 Olivia, you know. It took me a second.
My brain froze. It took me a second.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. It was so bad.
And literally, the person who was paying for the table looked at us and said, you guys should go. Like, you should go handle that.
And I was like, okay, leave me.

Speaker 1 I don't want to be alone with her. Yeah.
Yeah. That was really tough.
By the way, really quick, I'm eating a penne. It's a penne pasta.
It's a chicken and awey sausage.

Speaker 3 Holy smokes.

Speaker 1 It's wild.

Speaker 3 With what, Josh? With another free breadstick. Are you kidding me? These people are so generous at Applebee's.
Okay, some places charge you for bread. You don't even order the bread.

Speaker 3 They give you the bread.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine charging for bread?

Speaker 3 I mean, it's

Speaker 1 nothing could be less American.

Speaker 3 It's just not right. It's just not nice.
If you're smart, sure, charge for the dips, but there's nothing classier than you go to a nice restaurant like the Bees and you get a free bread basket.

Speaker 3 Bread baskets are it. You need it.
A nice side roll with your dinner. You need it, Josh.
You need it.

Speaker 3 Absolutely. It's good.

Speaker 3 Man, tell me about it. Tell me about it.

Speaker 1 Listen, I don't know what the word andouille means, but it's and doing something to me because it is

Speaker 1 freaking good, dude. And the penne hosta, dude, it's just like...

Speaker 1 I just think penne, it's a superior noodle. It's got a, there's a little bit of cream in the sauce.
It's also got some nice veggies on there.

Speaker 1 So I do feel like this is a well-rounded meal oh my god applebees if you don't re-up this sponsorship after you're nuts oh my god no one has ever shilled like this

Speaker 3 we're really giving we're really giving and we're gonna stop in a minute no we're really giving i'm just kidding but josh also we should note this was delivered It's hard to get food like this delivered and have it still hold up and be delicious.

Speaker 3 And that's what it was.

Speaker 1 So true.

Speaker 3 This episode of the Good Guys Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Applebee's. Folks, we're talking to you today about a very, very special cause.
It's Alex Scott's vision, folks.

Speaker 3 Let me talk to you about this origin story, okay? Alexandra Alex Scott was diagnosed with neuroblastoma before her first birthday.

Speaker 3 At four years old, she held her first fundraiser in her front yard and raised over $2,000.

Speaker 3 By the time she passed away at age eight, so sad, she'd raised over $1 million, leaving a lasting legacy of hope in the fight against childhood cancer.

Speaker 1 And it grew from a lemonade stand to a national foundation.

Speaker 1 For 21 years, Applebee's and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation have partnered together to raise over 18 million to help fund research into getting rid of childhood cancer.

Speaker 3 And, folks, you might be thinking, How do I help? How do I join the mission? The answer is the strawberry lemonade sunshine.

Speaker 3 Every time you buy a strawberry lemon sunshine from 7:14 through 8:31, a 50 cent donation is made to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. It's dining only, so you got to go.

Speaker 3 But if you're not at the bees, what are you nuts? Every lemonade makes a difference.

Speaker 1 And look, you're going to have the lemonade anyway. Do it during these times.
Boom, you're doing a good thing. Nothing better than that.

Speaker 1 Anyone with a kid knows it's one of the scariest, hardest thing when a parent, when a family has to go through this to endure that and to know that foundations like this exist to to hopefully god willing one day eradicate this it's super meaningful

Speaker 3 and i think it's a wonderful wonderful foundation and folks you can also donate by buying gift cards it's not just the 50 cents when you go in store maybe you can't go in store right you can get gift cards you can also donate online and a dollar five dollars ten dollars twenty dollars maybe big mothers a little bit more yeah but you give what you can what do you what are you what are you buying labooboos with your money no give to something that matters.

Speaker 3 Give to something that matters, folks. Alex Scott's vision: the strawberry lemon sunshine.
It's so easy. You drink it and you're donating.

Speaker 3 Or if you can't drink it and you just want to donate, gift cards or donate online. And, folks, National Lemonade Day is August 20th.

Speaker 3 And to celebrate National Lemonade Day, you should go get a strawberry lemon sunshine and support the fight against childhood cancer.

Speaker 3 After Applebee's, after this podcast, what are we doing tonight? What are are you doing? What's happening? What are the kids doing? What's up?

Speaker 1 It's a lot. The summer is a lot.
I did not plan having a baby during the summer well, because I've never, I've always had fall and winter babies, and it's much better. You're in the swing of things.

Speaker 1 Now it's camp. It's things.
Everything's in limbo. It's all, we'll play it by ear.
Will we? Can't we just set it? So it's a lot of driving. It's a lot of taking care of kids.
We out here. It's a lot.

Speaker 1 I'm turning on a fan because eating makes me hot.

Speaker 3 Yeah, eating makes me hot too. It's an incredibly labor-intensive sport.
Eating is a sport, especially the way that we do it, folks. I'm telling you, eating is a sport.

Speaker 3 What else should we talk about while Josh is gone? Josh ordered, I just want to say, I'm not calling him a schnorrow, but they asked one appetizer, two entrees. This man, what did he order?

Speaker 3 The whole menu, I got one extra appetizer and one extra entree.

Speaker 1 It's two for 25. You messed up the deal.
Where's Where's your second entree?

Speaker 3 Oh, true. No, it's fine.
It's here. It's here.
Oh, I heard.

Speaker 1 It's a bang and burger, dude. I know you're going to demolish that thing as soon as you get off camera.

Speaker 3 The second I get off camera, I'm eating it. I'm eating it good.
It's going to be tricking down my bag.

Speaker 1 It's a bang and burger, brother.

Speaker 3 Bang and burger. I'm going to bang while I have my banging burger.

Speaker 1 I think I should save this. I have something I want to talk about, but maybe I'll save it to the next episode.
What else was I going to tell you? Oh, so tell me about you're in the Hamptons now.

Speaker 1 Your sister-in-law is making sourdough bread every day. You're doing your dinners.
It's 4th of July. It's so much going on.
Are you going to make any pilgrimages back into the city?

Speaker 1 Are you pretty much like Hampton set?

Speaker 3 So I made a pilgrimage recently for a Briss, B-H-B-H-B-H friend of ours. I had a beautiful son.
We drove in. Ruby went in for a doctor's appointment.

Speaker 3 And so we went in and we'll go in, but not for anything that we don't need to. I'm really, I'm trying to spend as much time out here as possible.

Speaker 3 You mentioned that having an infant in the summer in LA is tough.

Speaker 3 I got to tell you, the polar opposite here, having an infant in New York in summer is a blessing because if it was any other season, it would be much, much, much, much, much harder, much harder.

Speaker 3 Also, the weather is too unpredictable. Like for you, your winter's gorgeous.
Your spring, honestly, your summer is probably the least gorgeous because it gets hotter.

Speaker 3 Does it get hotter or it stays sort of?

Speaker 1 It's fabulous. It's just the scheduling with the kids and their thing.
My son, you love this. He went to LMU basketball camp for a week.

Speaker 3 Love it. Love it.
Properly

Speaker 1 basketball camp.

Speaker 3 I went to a basketball camp a couple of years. It was fantastic.
It was actually Stephon Marbury's basketball camp. You walk in, you get a nice signed autograph by Stephon Marbury.

Speaker 3 They throw you into a good three-on-three.

Speaker 3 I was obsessed. I was obsessed.
So fun.

Speaker 3 So fun. But yeah, so yeah, we're Hamptons.

Speaker 3 And I must mention, Josh, I ordered Applebee's to the Hamptons. They got it out here too.
The bees worldwide.

Speaker 1 That's that's so hot. Are you doing any of like the Hampton-y things? Like, what is it? The Surf Lodge? And why is that place a thing? That's like the real happening spot, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah. So Surf Lodge is in Montauk.
We're not in Montauk. We're a little bit closer to the city than that.
But normally without Ruby.

Speaker 1 No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 Is there a hierarchy?

Speaker 1 Is Montauk like literally the Bel Air and

Speaker 1 where you are is Beverly Hills? Or what is it? I have no idea.

Speaker 3 I would say that the hierarchy, look, there are great areas in all of them. There's one road called Dune Road that actually goes from west to

Speaker 3 south through Bridge, Dune Road, wherever you are. If you're on the beach, Josh, it's a trillion dollars.
It doesn't matter what Hampton you're in.

Speaker 3 If you are beachfront and you have a house on the beach, you are going to spend at least $15 million for a shack. It doesn't matter where you are.

Speaker 1 Are people renting, like if they want, if you're people, not you, but people renting a really nice house near the water in here? I would imagine it's 50 to 100,000 a month over the summer.

Speaker 3 If they're, if they're renting on the beach, Josh, you would throw up how much. It's nowhere near 50 to 100,000 a month.
It's it's probably like 500,000 a month.

Speaker 3 No joke. Cool, cool.
No joke. No joke.
And I would say that there are very, very, very few people, if any, that would rent a house on the water in the Hamptons. It just doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 Because if you're going to spend $500,000 a month to be on the water, you might as well just put a down payment on a house. Like it's such a ludicrous amount of money.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You can buy like 10 kias.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 you can buy so many two for 25s.

Speaker 1 The most.

Speaker 3 That's actually what is that math? Is that 100,000? No, that would be 5.

Speaker 3 Oh, here's the best.

Speaker 3 You're by 25,000, two for 25.

Speaker 1 That's right. And that's a college education for you.
Fuck yeah. I double a major and a minor.

Speaker 3 That's right. That's absolutely right.
So yeah, the hierarchy really goes beach and then in. And then when you talk about the towns, Southampton is amazing.
Montauk is amazing.

Speaker 3 West Hampton like has its thing because it's closest to the city. Is it like the most desirable? No, but it's the shortest drive.
So that's pretty desirable to still go to a beach.

Speaker 3 But the happiness spot, always surf lodge. Josh, you would love it.
Surf lodge is just great music, great food. They'll bring you a lobster roll at the table.

Speaker 1 Okay. And is it like, I've heard it's like 50 bucks for guac and chips.

Speaker 3 It's expensive for sure. But like when you get a table, think about a nightclub, right? You can, you have a table minimum and you can use it towards food.

Speaker 3 So even if the guac is 50 bucks, you don't care. It's better than ordering a shop that you're not going to drink, you know?

Speaker 3 So like, yeah, it's priced for a table and it's outside, which is just a vibe. Like, being outside, there's something about dancing and partying outside that's fun.

Speaker 3 So, normally, most summers we go this summer, we haven't gone yet. I don't know if we're going to go.
Like, I don't want to leave Ruby to go get plastered. That seems like a little nuts.

Speaker 1 And you have to get plastered. Like, you don't feel like you're getting your value if you're not

Speaker 3 dropped up.

Speaker 3 You're driving so far. Like, if I, if the house is in Montauk, if I lived in Montauk and it was down the road, no problem, right?

Speaker 3 But I'm like a solid hour from it.

Speaker 1 god the hampton stretches from west to montauck it could take you two hours just to get from one part of the hamptons to the other so if i'm driving out there which i'm not driving if i'm motoring out there yeah i'm getting silly now where do you think what do you think about jon stewart has this joke which i love because he grew up going to the jersey shore like i did And he goes, the problem with the Hamptons and why the Jersey Shore is superior is the Hamptons is everyone you hate in the city wearing shorts in the woods.

Speaker 3 You've mentioned I think you said this last summer.

Speaker 1 I probably did.

Speaker 3 And what I will tell you is that if you want to, I think I said the same thing last summer. If you want to find those people, you can find them.
Like no question.

Speaker 3 But if you want to find regular folk, there's, I'd say that 90% of the Hamptons are people that live here full time. Like there are plenty of people that live here full time.

Speaker 3 Remy Bader lives in the Hamptons full time. Her family's just from West Hampton.

Speaker 3 So like you have just people people that live here, and then you have the public beaches that are still unbelievably gorgeous.

Speaker 3 And you need to pay, it's like $500 a year, and you get access to the beach. Like, if you want to find, if you just want your beach town, it exists.
It does.

Speaker 3 What I love about the Jersey Shore is that they have so many of those great dive bar beach bars. Like, that's my jam.

Speaker 1 Men with tattoos, cut-off jean shorts, lifetime fitness, parking tickets, crystal meth.

Speaker 3 What is what is this? What is this? On the shin, a shin tat. That's what it is.
A nice shin tat.

Speaker 3 So yeah, you see less of those, but it's funny. Montauk used to be that.
It used to be that. I used to go, and if I told this story last summer, I'm still eating.

Speaker 3 I know you are.

Speaker 1 I came here from the gym.

Speaker 3 Oh, well, I actually went to the gym this morning as well, Josh. I'll tell you that story later.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 Montauk used to be the beach town. Like it used to not be built up.
There was no surf lodge. I would go out there with my parents.
We'd stay at like

Speaker 3 a bed and breakfast. It was really like

Speaker 1 it was more rustic.

Speaker 3 It was rustic and it was fun. It was still beautiful water.
And now it's basically ruined. It's ruined.
And it's like, yeah, it's ruined.

Speaker 1 Wow. Okay.
And so then tell me the lifestyle with like the Aina and the stores.

Speaker 1 And, you know, the great Joey Camast is always talking about like his bespoke homemade jams from a place called Jamoganzit.

Speaker 3 I think we're all just like trying to get a little bit of Aina's aura. Like, that's what it is.

Speaker 3 Aina is just such a vibe. Like, I'll go past this place called Loaves and Fishes.
It's uh, it's like a grocery store. They have great fish, but that, like, it's been on Barefoot Contesso.

Speaker 3 And I see it, and I'm like, oh my God, I have to go to Loaves and Fishes. It's just, it's just the lore, Josh.
It's the vibe. It's the greenery.
It's the hydrangeas. It's the cooking for Jeffrey.

Speaker 3 It's all of that, you know?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 And Joey Camasta is the gay Aina. He is.
Yes.

Speaker 3 He's the gyna.

Speaker 1 Gyna Camastia.

Speaker 1 And I think he had gyna Camastia. By the way, meat tans over.

Speaker 3 What a crossover.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. Clip that.
I hope he sees it.

Speaker 3 I actually saw him today take, it's funny, he made sure to tell us that it was a sugar-free cracker, a sugar-free, gluten-free cracker with a scoop scoop of chicken salad and a dollop of caviar.

Speaker 1 I saw that.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 3 People are obsessed with this place around Swamp Farms. It got really popular from Bethany Frankel, who I won't comment on.
And honestly, Josh, every time I try and go, it's closed.

Speaker 3 They're open like Tuesday to Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Is this her chicken salad thing? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't like the way she chews.

Speaker 3 Josh, do you know how expensive this place is? Let's see, Bethany.

Speaker 1 She's a queen.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but we don't like the way that that she cheeses, but she's a queen. Do you know how much this chicken salad is?

Speaker 1 Tell the people.

Speaker 3 Like 40 bucks.

Speaker 1 For like eight ounces.

Speaker 3 For like a little container.

Speaker 1 Four ounces. Yeah.

Speaker 3 For a container. It's like you go there, you see like prepared.
I once went in, saw like these prepared chicken fingers. I thought Claudia would love them.
It's just like six chicken fingers, $39.

Speaker 1 It's nuts.

Speaker 3 It's like, what? What's happening here?

Speaker 3 But then you realize all of these farms, like they're sitting on such primo real estate like all of these farms sell goods but they don't need to make money on their goods so i'm thinking myself why is rounds home so expensive what they need to mark up they need to make 99 on their chicken salad josh why isn't it free considering they're sitting on 300 million in land

Speaker 1 i don't know it becomes a joke I did I tell you recently, and I mean, nothing could be more hacked than to complain about airwan pricing.

Speaker 1 But still, I was driving home and I was going through Culver City and they have an Erewhon in Culver City.

Speaker 1 And for anyone who doesn't know where you've been, but it's, you know, this incredible, super expensive, healthy market, but really they're bread and butter.

Speaker 1 And it is flippin delicious is their hot bar where they have, and it's just so rare. I don't know, there's more versions of it in the city because you have a Zay Bar, a Citerella, whatever.
But LA,

Speaker 1 it truly doesn't exist. And there's nothing better than food being prepared that's good and solid and that you can mix and match.

Speaker 1 So they have like a two entree, or I'm sorry, they have like a, you know, an opera two for 25.

Speaker 1 If only.

Speaker 1 They couldn't shine Applebee's shoes.

Speaker 1 But they have like a plate, a combo plate, right? So it's two sides, one entree.

Speaker 1 So I got a...

Speaker 1 maybe a six ounce piece of salmon,

Speaker 1 a side of mac and cheese, so good, and their famous buffalo cauliflower. Now, arguably, the most expensive thing on this plate is the salmon, but yeah, you know, I didn't get any crazy sides.

Speaker 1 40 bucks.

Speaker 3 Oh, 40. That is a crime.

Speaker 3 That's a crime. That's a crime.
That's a crime because

Speaker 3 the two sides that you got cost them 50 cents.

Speaker 1 That's so little.

Speaker 3 That's no good. And meanwhile, we're here.
Two entrees in an appetizer for $25.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 3 Come on, Josh. Come on.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 3 but yeah, these places are too expensive. That said, their food is delicious.
And it just begs the question, why aren't there more delicious places that have high quality food that are cheaper?

Speaker 3 Like, it's unfortunate that there really is that. Like, it's such a wide gap, but the gap is real.

Speaker 3 Like, the reason I'm shopping at Citarella here is because I know every single time I go to buy their overpriced salmon, salmon, it's going to be fresh and delicious.

Speaker 3 I have gone to King Cullen or stopping shop, sorry, bought their salmon, and it just wasn't.

Speaker 3 That's not to say that it isn't always, but for me, if I'm going out of my way to go to a grocery store to cook something, I come back and the fish isn't fresh.

Speaker 3 Like I, there, and maybe it's just the marketing, but I know that if I'm overpaying for this fish, it's going to be really fucking fresh. Otherwise, I'm never going back.

Speaker 1 No, in LA, I think this is in general. Like you're always, there's always probably in your town an elevated supermarket, and that's where you go for fish, and that's where you go sometimes for meat.

Speaker 1 I think you can get like...

Speaker 1 ground beef or chicken from a regular supermarket. But if you want to get fish and usually if you want to get good produce, you're going to go to like these higher end supermarkets.

Speaker 1 My favorite thing is we have a supermarket called Vaughn's. It's like, I think it's in the Safeway family.

Speaker 1 And they deep fry fried chicken that's off the chain, my boy. Wow.
Love it. Oh, my God.
Do I love bringing this to a party? They go, where did you get this? This is, what did you, you find a place?

Speaker 1 You go on Yelp. I go, better.

Speaker 3 Vons.

Speaker 3 Vons.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 oh, my God. There's no better feeling.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's funny. It's like Claudia loves the rotisserie chicken from Ori's.
It's like a specialty grocer in the city.

Speaker 3 It's so good. She just walks out with that gorgeous rotiss.
Nothing better. How do you, you can't make a rotisserie chicken at home? Because I don't, you don't have a rotisserie.
It is the one thing.

Speaker 3 That's something that I think a lot of people get from grocery stores, a rotiss, right? You like how I shorten that rotiss?

Speaker 1 Or Costco?

Speaker 3 A good rotiss. Oh, true.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 But, Josh, have you ever been to a grocery store and you see that the fish is on sale?

Speaker 3 This is a thing.

Speaker 3 What are you nuts?

Speaker 3 You can't do that. You can't mark down fish and you can't buy marked down fish.
The only reason something is marked down is because it's on its way out. You can't.

Speaker 3 And you can barely trust the fact that they're freezing these things overnight. Once it's defrosted, Josh, it's not going and getting refrozen.
It's out. It's done.
It's kaput.

Speaker 1 The great Ruthie Kirsch, my surrogate grandmother, may her memory be a blessing, would always say about house guests, they're like fish. After they're in the house a few days, it smells.

Speaker 1 I was like, yeah.

Speaker 3 Is your refrigerator also just like one step closer to the garbage? Because that's what my refrigerator is. Like these days, I'm cooking something.

Speaker 3 And then if I put it away, I'm just forgetting to eat it. I just am.
Like I really, these days, I need to cook exactly what I want to eat in that sitting.

Speaker 3 Otherwise, my leftovers, I might as well just throw them away. They are one step closer.
I put them in in the fridge. They go through like a quarantine period.

Speaker 3 And then I'm like, okay, it's been five days. I can throw them away now and not feel bad about it.

Speaker 1 I do. I feel so bad, but I am guilty of, I think the statistics for food waste in general is off the charts in this country, but I feel terrible about it, but I do it too.
And I love a clean fridge.

Speaker 1 And we get there like

Speaker 1 by Saturday afternoon. And then Sunday, my wife goes, we have three kids.
Like we need to load up. I'm like, do we? It looks so nice.

Speaker 1 A couple bevs, condiments. Can't we just fucking leave it? And then we go and we stock it up.

Speaker 3 There's nothing nicer than a minimalist fridge.

Speaker 1 A minimalist everything.

Speaker 3 When you can see the organization of your beverages,

Speaker 3 it's just such a great feeling. So good.

Speaker 1 So good. It's why I respect your wife, our little sweeper.
She does not allow for clutter, this woman.

Speaker 3 No, she doesn't. No, she doesn't.

Speaker 3 She doesn't seem like a minimalist when it comes to like, like, I know she loves a good bag or like clothes like does she have a big closet yeah she's she's a high low queen like she loves she she only spends money on things that she feels cannot be replaced by things that are cheaper like she loves a great bag she loves the way a great bag looks makes her feel all those things and you can't replace a great bag with a cheap bag you just can't sure right but you can replace expensive aloe leggings with something

Speaker 3 target you know you can replace those things Like there's, she doesn't fall for marketing gimmicks, Josh. She's a smart woman.

Speaker 3 So yeah, she has like, she only spends money on things that she feels that she needs to.

Speaker 1 Love that. Love that.

Speaker 3 Hilo.

Speaker 1 Love it for all of us. What about, did you hear Pete Davidson is having a baby with El Cuitt, his new beau?

Speaker 3 I did see this, Josh. I did.
Have you met Pete?

Speaker 1 I know Pete a little bit and I know Elsie a little bit. So I have some thoughts that might differ from what other people think because I know them.
I'm friendly with them.

Speaker 3 I mean, like, for like friendly, like the way that I'm friendly with people. Exactly right.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 I DM'd Chrissy D when I saw that he did, he replaced Valon. I'm like, great job, Chris.
He's like, Thanks, man. So we're back, you know? Hot.
Me and him, we're in cahoots.

Speaker 1 We're back. I had lunch with Pete once, and I went, I told you, I told the story, and I, he invited me to his father's memorial at Soho.
Yes, it's closer than you and Chrissy,

Speaker 1 but not by much. Not by much.

Speaker 1 Like, and it was years ago. And Elsie, I shot a couple of things with.
And

Speaker 1 I guess,

Speaker 1 you know, when she made the announcement, people, as they do, were kind of like, Elsie, you know, has dated some famous dudes.

Speaker 1 And so I think people were like, oh, like, you know, you locked one down, people were saying. And

Speaker 1 I just, but I was like, but.

Speaker 1 And Olivia, tell me your thoughts. It felt like a real double standard because Pete is certainly known for dating famous people.
So they both clearly,

Speaker 1 you know, to a certain extent, they have a little bit of a type and they found each other. They're both lovely, nice people.
They seem very happy. And so what? You would too.

Speaker 1 Like, you would have, you know, Pete's dating record if you could. You would have hers if you could.
They found each other. They're having a kid.

Speaker 1 Like, I just think it's kind of hack to give him a hard time about it. Am I tripping? What do you think?

Speaker 3 No, it's just crazy that Pete has reached the level. He dated so many famous actresses that he became the one that a famous actress or a celebrity would want to date.

Speaker 3 You know, like he like went, it's a full circle where now he's the guy that somebody's proud of dating versus the narrative was always, how did he, how did Pete get Ariana or how did Pete get Kim Kardashian?

Speaker 3 And now it's, how did she get Pete? It's crazy. It's crazy the way that the world works.
So yeah, I don't know. They got each other.

Speaker 1 I think it's great. I think it's great.

Speaker 3 I'm pro-love, Josh. I'm pro-love.

Speaker 1 What do you think, Olivia? I think it's like a double standard, no?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think it's a bit of a double standard, too. And I just think like, it's unfair, I think, to compare either of them to one another and like hold them.

Speaker 4 I don't know, like, can they not just like both be on the same level and like like each other? And that's what matters and their personalities. Like they mesh well together.

Speaker 4 Whereas like it's always like, oh, you're doing this for, you know, some level of attention or something.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 4 Like, I think that it's a little unfair to both of them historically to like say that.

Speaker 4 But yeah, I think it's a double standard to put that on her when that's also what like he's, you know, experienced.

Speaker 1 But they, you know, when you can date fun, exciting, powerful people, like

Speaker 1 I think a lot of people would gladly make that choice, you know, like a guy like me, if I wasn't with the love of my life, the great page, I would be dating a CBS pharmacy tech.

Speaker 1 Like Olivia would be too famous for me.

Speaker 1 You know, like, that's me. I'm old school, babe, but not everyone's cut from that cloth.

Speaker 3 No, you have to be, you have to be confident to be cut from that cloth. And you have to want just not like a life, I think, like so in the spotlight.

Speaker 3 Like, what happens when you're, they know this, when it's celebrity on celebrity, you're spotlight. You're PR, you're, that's it.
They're going to make a story about you.

Speaker 3 But I have to assume, I'm sure that this isn't for everyone. I am generalizing, but it's a lot.
Like you're talking, you're competing against each other. I got this role.
I got this role.

Speaker 3 I got this role. Oh, I didn't get this.
Oh, I got this. Oh, I didn't get this.
I got this.

Speaker 3 And I have to assume that just because that's natural progression in Hollywood, that some people are going to make it and some people aren't, that would drive serious resentment, serious resentment.

Speaker 3 So, again, generalizing, but that's why I think that these things are tough.

Speaker 1 Do you guys also think, I also have to say, whatever you think, not making a judgment on on the people themselves but

Speaker 1 you have to be a very special kind of person in Lauren Sanchez to be with Jeff Bezos right to be with the second richest man in the world and to be a part of that lifestyle like I think when people kind of have a track record of dating powerful people it's because a certain thing is required of their spouse of their partner Yeah, that they seem equipped to do and like you probably I'm saying you out there any of like the naysayers like you probably couldn't hang.

Speaker 1 I couldn't hang. If I was dating, you know, Ina

Speaker 1 or

Speaker 1 Martha Stewart, I don't know, but like, who's super powerful? Like, you know what I mean? Like, if I was dating,

Speaker 1 yeah, it's it requires

Speaker 3 full circle.

Speaker 1 I would love to. Oh, my God.
I'd be so lucky. But I'm talking, like, who's

Speaker 1 such a legend. She can kind of like, who's someone who's Jennifer Anniston? Yeah, Jennifer Anniston.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or Sidney Sweeney, even. I couldn't handle that.
It's too much. I'm not flying to Monaco.
I have yoga.

Speaker 1 I'm busy.

Speaker 3 It takes a lot to be Lauren Sanchez, and people are probably rolling their eyes. It's 100% true.
You have to be completely numb. Again, don't know them generalizing.

Speaker 3 You have to be completely numb to meeting anyone cool. You cannot fangirl for a second.
if I had to guess.

Speaker 3 Because the second that you are impressed by somebody that you're meeting, you're not cool anymore. Like, and it's, it's weird.

Speaker 3 It's like once you're in the room with all of these people, like, sure, you can like congratulate them on their accomplishments, whatever it may be, but to be real friends is not to be a fan.

Speaker 3 You can't be a friend and a real die-hard, crazy poster on the wall fan. And I'm sure that she's meeting legends every second of every day.
So yeah, it takes somebody.

Speaker 3 It also, it takes a lot of fun out of it when it's that, right? And it also takes a lot of fun out of,

Speaker 3 I would think, just like your, your routine being so gaudy, all of a sudden it's not fun. I don't want it.
That's what I'm saying. Jeff Bezos, stop DMing me.

Speaker 1 I don't want it. Yeah, I would love to see you be his man partner.

Speaker 1 And you have to stand up to a man who never hears no. Like powerful people like that never, ever, ever hear no.
And you have to be like, nah, that doesn't work for me. And that's powerful.

Speaker 3 And again, I don't know him. It's basically impossible not to be a narcissist.

Speaker 3 How can you be a billionaire non-narcissist like Bezos? You can't. It's impossible.
So, dating a narcissist, worst nightmare.

Speaker 1 Should we get to our what are you nuts?

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Our what are you nuts moment of the week are our gripes with people, places, and things, both big and small, whatever's sticking in your craw. Go for it, Ben.

Speaker 3 Honestly, my what are you nuts is you not going to Hafflebee's and getting the two for 25 deal. They have the new chicken parm fettuccine.
They have the new Big Bang and burger.

Speaker 3 Josh had 19 other things, even though they told him to order.

Speaker 1 You are a real trick. That hurts my feelings.

Speaker 3 That's a beautiful spinach art choke dip that I had. Ooh, it was tasty.
Josh got the onion rings. Folks, you got to go to the B's because the B's is the B's and E's.
Two for 25, two entrees, one app.

Speaker 3 If not, what are you nuts?

Speaker 1 Totally agree about all those things. I literally got one extra appetizer and I honored the deal as it's listed on like this jerk who's just willy-nilly with it.
Where's the baker burger, Ben?

Speaker 3 I'm just messing.

Speaker 3 I'm just joshing.

Speaker 1 It was so good. I'm sweating.
