We're Moving?!
Mazel morons! This week, we’re taking on the impossible: selling milk of magnesia, toe socks, and America's least glamorous fish. Ben’s baby is officially hefty, Josh’s kids are thriving (and loving sparkling water), and the Doona stroller is public enemy number one. Plus, we debate moving out of our beloved port cities, the legitimacy of branzino, and Elon's AI chatbot's very problematic update. From hard scrambled eggs to ice cream sundae masterpieces, this one is packed tighter than your colon pre-magnesium. What are ya nuts? Love ya!

Speaker 4
Muzzlemorons, welcome back to the Good Guys Podcast. I'm here with the head of P.
Diddy's re-entry team.
Speaker 2
It's babysit. I guess we're back on these introductions.
I'm down, okay? I'm down. I don't know what we're going to do with this Diddy guy, okay? I don't know, but I'm on his team, okay?
Speaker 2 I'm doing my best. That's all we need.
Speaker 2 I'm doing my best.
Speaker 2 What kind of poppy are you drinking? That's a gorgeous can. Ginger lime, hun.
Speaker 4 Ginger lime.
Speaker 2 You're so young, flirty influencer.
Speaker 4 You're like so
Speaker 2 Gen Z Alex Earl.
Speaker 4 Like, I don't even really know who Alex Earl is.
Speaker 2
You're the it girl, Josh. You're the it girl.
I've wanted my whole life.
Speaker 4 I've never wanted to be a woman, no matter how high estrogen people might think I am and my gynecomastia, but I have always wanted to be the it person
Speaker 2 totally i mean who doesn't want to be it i do want to say for a quick second poppy is a wonderful product really good i think i think they all taste delicioso and the fact that it's soda without the dodgy ingredients or whatever i'm literally thinking of an electrolyte ad read if they're fantastic or an element ad read they're fantastic i i am a big fan and if they wanted to promote poppy on this podcast we would happily talk about them i don't think there's anything we wouldn't promote and that we would crush promoting.
Speaker 4 Olivia, not to put you on the spot, give us something that would be impossible to promote and we'll promote it.
Speaker 2 Especially because we used to do this forever. We always did this and everybody said, stop talking about how much money you want to make with brands.
Speaker 2
And yeah, we stopped it for like literally a year and a half. Okay.
So we're starting it up again. Okay.
We're starting it up again. Yeah.
Name a brand.
Speaker 4 Something unsexy, something dangerous, something risky. I'm taking my shoes off and I'm getting comfy, wompy in my little cute little crisscross applesauce.
Speaker 2 Oh my God, I love that your shoes are off because mine were off and I I was nervous that you were going to make fun of me, but now I'm going to let the dogs out to play.
Speaker 4 Yes, but I have socks and pants on.
Speaker 2 Like a great
Speaker 2 socks.
Speaker 4 You have those little quarters socks on?
Speaker 2
Yeah, and by the way, I have to. I have to.
No, I get it.
Speaker 2 The quarters are nice.
Speaker 4 I know, but you know what? I don't respect those little ped socks because I'm like,
Speaker 2 what do you, the no-shoes that go like under what? Your toms? It's not okay.
Speaker 2
No. Look, it just, it is what it is.
They're not, they're not for me. They're not for me.
The Toms. Also, Toms are like $40.
If they get smelly, throw them away. Get a new pair.
Speaker 2 You're wearing socks with your Toms. That's a what of you nuts.
Speaker 4 Okay, Olivia, give us something impossible to promote. Milk of Magnesia?
Speaker 4 No problem. Ben, you want to kick us off or I'll get it?
Speaker 2 First, just give me a little bit on it, and then I'm good with it. What does Milk of Magnesia do for you?
Speaker 4 It's a laxative.
Speaker 2
It's a laxative. It's a liquidative laxative.
Could we not do this?
Speaker 2 Of course, this is easy.
Speaker 2
Folks, last night I was making a chili. I started off, of course, a beef-based chili.
I like it when it's nice and thick. Threw in a bunch of beans, let it really soak in.
Beat a side of rice.
Speaker 2
I like to put my chili on top of my rice. And then all of a sudden, holy crap, I'm constipated at the wazoo.
My stomach is killing me. I call my beautiful co-host and friend Josh.
Speaker 2 I say, Josh, what do I do? I need milk of magnesia.
Speaker 4
We're PC. We're past constipation.
Constipation is a thing of the past.
Speaker 4
No more should you be walking around. You're feeling gassy.
Your stomach is tight. You're so uncomfortable.
We're done with that now. We've got Milk of Mag.
Speaker 2 We're telling you folks, you don't need to have a stuffed colon. We're going to loosen that colon with milk of magnesia.
Speaker 2 So come on over, go to milkofmagnesia.com slash good guys and use our code for 50% off.
Speaker 2 So the next time you have chili and rice and a stuffed colon, you will be able to irrigate your bowels with milk of magnesia.
Speaker 4 It's time to evacuate. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4
You have never had an exit quite like this. You are going to feel five to seven pounds lighter, thanks to the good guys.
And by the way, the magnesia part that stands for magnesium.
Speaker 4 Last time I heard, magnesium's fucking in.
Speaker 2 You ready for this, Josh?
Speaker 2 Oh,
Speaker 2 evacuate the bowels.
Speaker 2 oh, oh, oh, oh,
Speaker 2 oh,
Speaker 2 oh,
Speaker 2
okay, that was easy. What a layup.
Kidding me?
Speaker 4 They just re-upped for 10 more spots.
Speaker 2 What a layup. What do you got?
Speaker 4 You got another one, Olivia? This is, I mean, easy.
Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. What about like toe socks slash like toe shoes?
Speaker 2 Do you have no friends?
Speaker 2 Are you looking to continue having no friends?
Speaker 2 buy toe socks because your toes
Speaker 4 i don't know what it what it okay no let's really think about this listen your toes first of all have been imprisoned in these tight toe but what are you what are you being bound do you think this is healthy you are going to be on your feet for the rest of your life unfortunately we've evolved in a real funny way we should be on all fours i'm not going to yell at darwin okay this is my beef is not with darwin but you should feel comfortable.
Speaker 4 Allowing your toes to splay is the way we were supposed to walk around forever.
Speaker 4 You are going to be feeling the ground with every step. You are going to take lighter steps because you're not bound in by all this padding, all this mishagas, as the Jewish people say.
Speaker 4
You are going to feel one with the ground. You're going to be more centered in your work, more centered in your life.
You're welcome.
Speaker 2
And you're going to find that your toes actually have great utility. You know how we use our hands to write? We use our hands to sign.
We use our hands to lift things. Well, now you can use your toes.
Speaker 2 Did you drop your water bottle on the floor? You can pick it up with your toes because your toes have been used and strengthened. I'm telling you, folks, you gotta try toe socks.
Speaker 4
Wear a toe. Listen.
As we know, 2025 is the year of toe accoutrement. Okay, toe rings are in.
All right. Just ask Mayor Momdani.
Toe rings are in.
Speaker 2 You're telling me that you have a toe ring and you want to keep it under a sock? Why do you have it? Why do you have it? You have it to show it off.
Speaker 2 So get your toe socks, get your toe shoes, get your toe rings at toe ring.com slash good guys.
Speaker 4 Could you mention a toe mood ring?
Speaker 2
I love it. Wow.
What is it? It only regulates the mood of your regulate.
Speaker 2
It only regulates the mood of your toe. Yeah.
Like, like if you stop, I stub my big toe all the time. So the mood of my big toe is definitely lower than my other toes.
You know,
Speaker 2
I think I need to start wearing. This is a good segue.
I think I need to start wearing shoes in my home because I am really hurting my toes. I'm stubbing them everywhere lately.
Speaker 2 The last six months, I've been stubbing non-stop.
Speaker 4 I think that you're a little distracted.
Speaker 2 You think so?
Speaker 4 You forgot my kid's birth.
Speaker 2 When? Oh, oh, oh, I thought you, oh, I thought you meant, oh, I thought you meant right now.
Speaker 2 I thought you meant right now. I'm like, you had another? That was quick.
Speaker 2
No, by the way, okay. This narrative.
I apologized already. So now we're going.
I had the original date, July 5th, seared in my brain. Seared in.
I think that's the thing. And
Speaker 2
all of a sudden, we're moving it up. And now I need to remember two days.
Okay? I apologize. That's not a.
It's big lived. No.
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 4 I'm not actually mad, but I am. I'm just thinking about the times that you have really gotten hot and heated about me questioning your memory.
Speaker 2 And i'm like i feel like i have some good evidence no you don't you don't but yes so now so now i want to know okay so i'm distracted by the way do you not do this for the pringle

Speaker 2 oh my god if you're not watching on video for the first time you're you're not missing anything josh is currently currently licking pringles i dropped some on the floor he's eating the pringles from the floor so what does a pringle taste like when you just lick it is that sour cream sour cream in my mind how old is he live i dig it uh-huh i dig it because it's like you still got the seasoning on the other side but it's kind of like a little like and maybe you don't eat the chip and you just tell yourself you don't have an eating disorder exactly
Speaker 2 oh my god this is a what are you nuts
Speaker 2 this is this is a what are you nuts if i've ever seen and obviously josh if you haven't made a video of you doing this already you're just licking the pringles and and putting them to the side you must yeah that's not crazy wait wait did you ever do that as a good
Speaker 2 let me see of course the duck lips wait i messed it up
Speaker 2 you look fantastic all i have to say you're very savvy josh you were hungry and you turned it into a game meanwhile when i eat on the pod i get shit
Speaker 2 Because I don't
Speaker 2 think you ever eat on the pod. Yeah, I don't eat more.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 I used to.
Speaker 4 I'm done eating on the pod.
Speaker 2 I know it's fashion.
Speaker 2
No, you should eat. You should eat.
You should eat. I've been getting very thirsty these podcasts lately.
Speaker 2 Maybe it's that I have an electrolyte imbalance, but I think I'm just good old-fashioned thirsty.
Speaker 5 This episode of the Good Guys Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Shopify. Folks, there is no time like the present to start your dream hustle.

Speaker 4
How is the Hamptons as far? Are you finding it relaxing or are you like running around? You got the baby. It's 4k of July.
Are you feeling a bit famished?
Speaker 2 So I've been smart about fork where I'm pre-batching forks. So instead of what I did last year was just not sustainable.
Speaker 2
I was cooking a meal every day, recording it every day, putting it up every day. What am I nuts? Like that's not normal.
Sure.
Speaker 2
Versus now, I made three recipes on Saturday and I'll post those throughout the week. That's a far more regular, like reasonable way to do it.
The Hamptons is wonderful.
Speaker 2
What I will say is that I need to just recenter my mind because me and you, we're cut from the the same cloth. We're pretty ADD.
We want to go, we want to do. We love a grocery store.
Speaker 2 We love going here, here, here, here, here. Wherever we can go, we're going to go, right?
Speaker 2 And now it's more stay, stay, enjoy, and be comfortable with the calm. So it's just a bit of a balance, but that's more of having a newborn than it is being in the Hamptons.
Speaker 2 The Hamptons makes the staying significantly easier because you're in beautiful weather outside. It is wonderful and lovely.
Speaker 2
I actually have something crazy to report. My wife, who never ever, she's the pickies eater, as you know.
Josh, this summer, I made her a cooked branzino. I told you about this yesterday.
Sure.
Speaker 2
She ate it. I didn't tell you that.
She ate it. She ate the branzino and she loved it.
Also, Josh, for the first time, she's eating turkey sandwiches.
Speaker 2 The only sandwich in her 30 years on this earth that she would eat is a peanut butter and jelly. And she is enjoying a turkey sandwich with mashed up avocado, one singular strip of lettuce.
Speaker 2 This is a breakthrough.
Speaker 4 Interesting. She would never do turkey and cheese, right?
Speaker 2
She, like, she would. She just, like, her palate can't comprehend it.
It can't, her palate can't comprehend it yet.
Speaker 2 Like, I'm telling you, it's the craziest thing that she wants to eat a turkey sandwich.
Speaker 4 God, a good turkey sandwich can really put me away. I mean, it's one of my favorite things, maybe.
Speaker 2
It's the best. And I'm sorry, people, I've said this before, but I'll say it again.
The only mustard that belongs in a turkey sandwich is yellow.
Speaker 2 yellow i disagree i disagree you like a stone ground or a dijon i love a yellow i love a yellow i just think the combo of yellow mustard and mayonnaise creates this velvety sensation that is truly top-notch it is good it is good
Speaker 4 um you you prefer a stone ground or a dijon i'm i'm down the clown with with any i think like on most I think mostly like yellow mustard belongs on a hot dog.
Speaker 2 It does.
Speaker 4
It goes great with a turkey sandwich. Totally works.
And then, but in most cases, a Dijon or a Stone Ground is preferred.
Speaker 4 Although Stone Ground, sometimes those little mustard caviar morsels get a little invasive.
Speaker 2
They do. And I don't know if you've ever bought mustard seed by itself, but man, don't accidentally knock that over.
You'll be picking those up for weeks.
Speaker 4 Yeah, that's terrible. That's like spilling chia seeds.
Speaker 2 You got to sell your home. You have to sell your home if you spill a box of chia seeds.
Speaker 4 That's nuts.
Speaker 2 Do you have loose chia seeds in in your home i have a bag of chia seeds you can get them at trader joe's they're great you do you put them in like a protein shake in the morning or something oatmeal oatmeal
Speaker 4 and they help with your bowels is that the the primary reason for a chia seed they're incredibly nutrient dense they have a shitload of protein a lot of fiber
Speaker 4 protein that's interesting i didn't know that they're pretty high fat but i think that's also just because they are so nutrient dense but what's like the major thing I love it in an oatmeal.
Speaker 4 Oh, put me away.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Chia seeds are yummy.
I like anything that gives something a nice crunch, and it's a flavorless crunch. So you really just make whatever you're eating crunchy.
Speaker 4
I don't think chia is crunchy, actually. Maybe you're thinking of another.
Chia becomes rather glutinous, like almost like a boba.
Speaker 4
Because you have to get them. I guess they're crunchy if you don't wet them.
But the whole
Speaker 4 hack of chia seeds is you wet them and then they make like a chia pudding.
Speaker 2
Like they it's kind of of like a tapioca texture. I had no idea.
I've been eating dry seeds.
Speaker 4
Oh, you're macho. You never had a chia pudding? You have.
We've talked about it.
Speaker 2 I've probably, I've probably had a chia pudding, but if I've ever used a chia, because I've probably bought some dry seeds before, I'll like throw them into yogurt, but I'll throw them in dry.
Speaker 2
I sure know. Okay, so you got to soak your seeds.
Soak your seeds.
Speaker 2 The more, the more you know, you got to soak yourself. Chunks.
Speaker 2 You got to soak your seeds. Josh, what's on the menu tonight for dinner? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 4 Well, I do want to ask you about the Branzino.
Speaker 2 Okay, come back, and then you should make it.
Speaker 4 Well, you told me how you make it, but let me ask you this, because as far as I know, Branzino is mostly a myth.
Speaker 4 And if you are not getting it from the seas of the Mediterranean, it in fact is not a Branzino, but it is a sea bass that has been renamed
Speaker 4 Branzino
Speaker 4 because it's good marketing.
Speaker 2 Sure.
Speaker 4 I've heard that about, by the way, I've heard that about the Chilean sea bass. It indeed is not from Chile.
Speaker 2 There is a lot out there. I don't know the specifics, but there is a lot out there on the marketing of fish and what fish,
Speaker 2 what is it, what actually is your fish, right? There's a lot out there on that.
Speaker 2 I do think that the place that I happened to get Branzino from said Citarella, if they're selling me fake Branzino, then this is crazy. But regardless, she would still eat a thin white fish.
Speaker 2 That's all you're looking for. Thin,
Speaker 2
flaky, white. She's fast.
Cooks fast. Nothing thick.
Nothing big and thick. She would never eat that.
So she likes a thin white fish.
Speaker 4 And but this sea bass, this this branzino,
Speaker 2 tell me.
Speaker 4 It's from the seas of the Mediterranean. Is this a conflict fish?
Speaker 2
It could be a conflict fish. It could be.
Or.
Speaker 2
No, it is. It is.
It's a conflict fish.
Speaker 2 It's from the seas of the Mediterranean and it escaped.
Speaker 2 It escaped
Speaker 2 into my kitchen.
Speaker 2 Where are we moving? We haven't done this in a while. Where are we moving?
Speaker 4 There's nowhere to move. I just disagree.
Speaker 2
Like, there are plenty of places to move. Let's think internationally.
Where should we move? It doesn't have to be in the U.S. I'd like it to be in the U.S., but where should we move?
Speaker 4 But here's the thing, right? Like, okay, let's think of something real. Where are people moving in the U.S.? Like, i've been to nashville and austin
Speaker 2 you're not gonna you're not tricking me people are moving to nashville people are moving to austin you've been to these places
Speaker 2 i have people moving to dallas people are moving to miami people are moving to jacksonville people are moving to texas jacksonville florida they are they are they're moving there up and coming especially by the beach what are they what are they in the mood for a big lots
Speaker 4 they're in the mood for a cheap house josh we're in a housing crisis. Yeah, well, but that's not one particular state's fault, right? That's that's just all over the country, huh?
Speaker 2
That's all that's all over the country. Just the prices are simply too high.
People seem to be moving to Oklahoma City. What are you nuts? Come on.
Speaker 2 It can't be that bad that you got to move to Oklahoma City.
Speaker 4 It's all nuts, babe.
Speaker 2 It's all nuts.
Speaker 2 I would like to move. Why don't we move like a little bit more northeast together?
Speaker 4 Northeast?
Speaker 2
Chakamaine. Maine.
Maine. You're
Speaker 2 Bucking!
Speaker 2 Rhode Island,
Speaker 2 okay, where? Where in Rhode Island? Providence.
Speaker 2 No, no, no. Can you learn the Rhode Island accent?
Speaker 4 It's wild.
Speaker 2 You're so right. I would kill myself.
Speaker 2 Wild.
Speaker 4 It's one long family guy episode.
Speaker 2 You know, I don't want it.
Speaker 2 What about Scottsdale? You want to move to Scottsdale together?
Speaker 4 Not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 4 It's all bad, man.
Speaker 2 What about
Speaker 2 yeah, and then it all we always end back on Montana. Sure.
Speaker 2
Sure. Why not? I'll tell you why not.
It costs 30, like literally $30 million to have what you want in Montana. What you see is not what you get.
You can't go there with a million bucks in a dream.
Speaker 2 He can't.
Speaker 4 So true. That's true.
Speaker 2
Okay. All right.
So we're staying.
Speaker 4
Yeah, I think you're stuck. And I think everywhere has like these places.
I just don't want to be hoodwinked.
Speaker 4 And I also think it's hack because we've literally been yelled at for like, what's it been?
Speaker 4 Six years about how these, it's just, it's a mass exodus from Los Angeles and New York and Chicago and like the next big thing. And then the people move to these cities like Austin and Nashville.
Speaker 4 And then they got to convince you.
Speaker 2 Hey.
Speaker 4
Keep it to yourself. Go on that one street in Nashville.
Go Go to those four good restaurants in Austin and eat, eat, eat, enjoy your square footage, hon. Enjoy it.
Speaker 4 But you're not going to convince me. I've been.
Speaker 2 Not for me.
Speaker 4
It's not for me. It's like the first act of a movie where you're like, that was great.
And then you go,
Speaker 2 but there's only 40 minutes.
Speaker 2 The thing that I do always think about, though, is that in New York, in Los Angeles, in these major cities, we do have so many restaurants, so many shows, so much stuff to do, yet I go to the same four places.
Speaker 2 Sure. So, what really is the difference? Like, yeah, there are only four places to eat in Austin, but I only eat at four places in New York.
Speaker 2 I can just pretend that there are 4,000 places in Austin and only go to the four of them.
Speaker 4 But don't,
Speaker 2 you know, like, where else do you go? You go to one beach.
Speaker 4 Well, I really, I'm such a LA person because I think uniquely about this city is Elon Musk says it's the most expensive weather on earth, and he's right. And it's worth every fucking penny.
Speaker 2
That's fair. That's fair.
That's fair.
Speaker 4 So in general,
Speaker 4 the way that I don't ever check the weather ever is,
Speaker 4 you know, massive for your overall state of being. And then you have all the accoutrement of a major city, which is like art, crazy restaurants, you know, access to culture,
Speaker 4 access to just resource, you know, major hospitals, major business, you know, economy.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 4 you have the mountains and the beach. That's what I think is so unique about Los Angeles that no one can fuck with.
Speaker 4 And it's just like not a coincidence that the two major greatest cities in California are closest to the biggest ports in our our country, right?
Speaker 4 Long Beach and Newark are the biggest port cities there are. That's why so much industry comes through our cities.
Speaker 4 So no city will ever be able to compete, I don't think, unless it turns into the last of us.
Speaker 2 I think you're right. I do think that you're right.

Speaker 2 When was the last time, Josh? When was the last time time that you went to, or I should phrase it differently,
Speaker 2 is there like anything new that you are actively going to now? I guess you go to new restaurant openings. I'm just like thinking like, I like at this point, all that I care about is food.
Speaker 2
This is not, this is not new news to anybody. But like, as long as I have a new restaurant somewhere to go and try, I am good.
And I've, I'm bringing this back to, I've been to Alabama, Josh.
Speaker 2 Have you been to Alabama?
Speaker 4 No, but I believe it's great.
Speaker 2
Alabama, specifically Birmingham, had some of the greatest food I've ever eaten. I swear.
I swear.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like, and they have a new, like, whatever.
People love to throw in James Beard, this, James Beard, that. They, like, it's like an explosion of restaurants.
Like, we should move there.
Speaker 2
And then we can pop down to the Gulf shores. We can get a beautiful, it's the same exact water.
It's the same water as Naples. It's the left side of Florida.
Goes to the Gulf.
Speaker 2 The same side, it's beautiful water. I'm just saying we could be very happy in Alabama.
Speaker 4
Yeah, no, I have no doubt that we could be happy. And you're right.
Like, I go, I was in Savannah, Georgia. Like, I, I love,
Speaker 4 I love these places that aren't major cities and I find all the charm and all the things and the people are really salt of the earth.
Speaker 4 I just don't like having the fight because I think it's a, I think it's a David and Goliath type thing. I'm like,
Speaker 2 don't compare, right? No, like you, you can't compare.
Speaker 4 You take gorgeous Ruby on gorgeous walks through Central Park. I don't know if you ever go to the Met, but I know you don't live far from like
Speaker 4 arguably the greatest museum in the world.
Speaker 2 He's been too little. By the way, in terms of
Speaker 2 raising a kid in New York City, the museums unparalleled.
Speaker 4 Oh, yeah, the museums, but it's going to be an entire.
Speaker 4 I think what's great is, and I will say this, you don't have this as much, but I grew up with like certain New York City kids that like when I see them now, they never left the city, like not for, not for a second.
Speaker 4 And like
Speaker 4 they're to New York. So what I would say is just like, what's great is even if you grew up in the greatest city in the world, it's like leave for a little, you know?
Speaker 2
Yeah. Wouldn't you say? I never left.
Yeah, I never left.
Speaker 4
But you don't have that affect. Like, you don't have like, what's good? Like, I'm from, I'm from New York.
Like, nah, that's like, you're not fucking Andrew Schultz.
Speaker 2 No, no, no, it's not, it's not my personality.
Speaker 2 Right.
Speaker 2 I could have made it my personality if I wanted to, but it's not my personality. No.
Speaker 2
But what were we saying? Oh, we were talking about Alabama. And then I had a thought.
Oh, Austin. All these places like Austin.
Why do I want to go somewhere landlocked?
Speaker 2
Like, who convinced who that Austin was the next great city? Right. Like.
Why isn't, why aren't these places that are beautiful and on the water? Like, I'll bring up the Gulf Shores again.
Speaker 2 Why isn't the the Gulf Shores of Alabama the next big city? Why, like, if Charleston is a great city, like people are always trying to find new places to boat and to eat on the water.
Speaker 2
And you mentioned, like, never having to check the weather. The weather is, yeah, it gets a little hot, but it's gorgeous.
Like, why are we focused on these landlocked cities?
Speaker 4 Austin's hot, my g.
Speaker 2 It's yeah, there's no hot and there's no and there's nowhere to cool down,
Speaker 4 yeah, except that like
Speaker 4 that river that runs down the middle of it, which is a little,
Speaker 2 you know.
Speaker 2 I'm not familiar with it, but
Speaker 4 it's a city around a river, and that river is not coyote.
Speaker 2
It's brown, brown, brown, brown, brown, brown. Like the Hudson.
I always say this. If New York could figure out how to turn the Hudson back into a legitimate port, imagine that, Josh.
We have fish.
Speaker 2 We have boats. We have
Speaker 2
waterfront restaurants. There's literally one waterfront restaurant in all of Manhattan.
What is it? One.
Speaker 2
It was called the Water Club. It's like on the FDR Drive in the 30s.
It's not even like pretty. It's like, you're just not a thing.
It's so right.
Speaker 4 Yeah. One for you, Ben.
Speaker 2 Thank you. Bing.
Speaker 2 One ever. I got my first point.
Speaker 2 Mark this date. I got my first point.
Speaker 4 That it should. It should be a waterfront city.
Speaker 2
Of course it should. It's all water.
What the hell? It's an island. It's an island.
Speaker 4 Did you ever go to the South Street Seaport growing up?
Speaker 2 All the time. That was fun.
Speaker 2 Yeah, it's far.
Speaker 2
It's far. Sure.
You pop down. Nobody lives there.
It's far. It's very far east, very far south.
There are still like some restaurants there, sure. But it's not the same.
And water. It's not like
Speaker 2
Malibu Farm or like... Yeah, Waterside Plaza's there too.
Yeah. If you're trying to pick up a dime bag.
Speaker 4 Is Waterside the projects? I grew up there.
Speaker 2
I grew up there too. My friend lives there.
We've spoken about this before. My friend also lived there, and I also grew up going there.
Speaker 2 And they have a bowling alley and they have a grocery store in there. It's honestly like a little socialist haven on the FDR drive.
Speaker 2 And I don't know if it's low income, but it's like,
Speaker 2 it's just like a little
Speaker 2 yucky.
Speaker 2 Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 I had my 10th birthday party there at the pool.
Speaker 4 Son, don't laugh that hard, you jerk.
Speaker 2 I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 You said it in such a way that made me laugh.
Speaker 2 That's awesome. It's not awesome.
Speaker 2
I feel bad about it. No, you should feel great about it.
What's wrong with the Waterside Plaza pool?
Speaker 4 It's good. Maybe
Speaker 4 Mom Donnie just becomes mayor of Waterside and Roosevelt Island because it already looks
Speaker 2 like.
Speaker 2 Oh my God.
Speaker 2 You know?
Speaker 2
This is so niche. There are like three people that are listening to the podcast that know Waterside Plaza.
That said, you should know it.
Speaker 4 Shout out my boy Connor. I think he still lives there with his mom.
Speaker 2
Yeah, that's awesome. Good for Connor.
Man. Good for Connor.
Speaker 2
So Waterside is like 60 stories high. And I remember, I think it was Hurricane Sandy.
There was like a huge blackout. And my friend's dad, that's a husky guy, like probably 5'8, 285 pounds.
Speaker 2
They lost all power. Lost all power.
My vay. Him, my friend,
Speaker 2
son, his wife, and their cat. They're like, come on, let's go.
Like, we got to go. He's like, down 33 flights of stairs.
They're like, all right, we're leaving you. They walked down 33 flights.
Speaker 2 He stayed in a blackout for three days just so he didn't have to walk down the stairs. Oh, my God.
Speaker 2
That's a Barbara Peck move. Just because he didn't want to walk down the stairs.
He could. He didn't want to walk down the stairs.
He'd rather sit in a completely dark apartment for three days.
Speaker 4 My mom got stuck in a recliner once because the power went out and it was fully extended.
Speaker 2 It's not good.
Speaker 2 She was like this.
Speaker 2 By the way, that's
Speaker 2 in her defense, in Barb's defense, if I got stuck like that, I also wouldn't be able to get up. That's terrible.
Speaker 4 Josh.
Speaker 4 It's an emergency. I'm fully extended.
Speaker 4 I'm at 90 and there's no power.
Speaker 4 Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 No, I can't imagine.
Speaker 2
I can't imagine. I can't imagine.
Shadow.
Speaker 2
Shadow. Tell me about Meyer.
I need an update.
Speaker 4 Meyer is delicious.
Speaker 4 He's a wonderful boy. You know what else I was thinking about the other day? And this is how nuts I am?
Speaker 2 Tell me.
Speaker 4 So my wife and I were thinking about three names for Meyer because we basically have used up all our good boy names. So we had some good girl names in case it was a girl, girl, but it wasn't.
Speaker 4 So we settle on Meyer and the registration office is closing at Cedars the day after we had the baby.
Speaker 4 So we're like really feeling the pressure to just lock in the name because, as you know, you have to do it at the office so that they can give you the temporary birth certificate and get it filed.
Speaker 4 So I'm walking there and we've decided that it's going to be Meyer finally.
Speaker 2 And I'm like, wow, Meyer Peck, Meyer Peck.
Speaker 4 This is such a fuck you to Hamas.
Speaker 2 That's what I thought. Yeah.
Speaker 2
As you should. Another Jewish baby.
Unbelievably strong Jewish name. Really good, Meyer Peck.
It's fantastic. Meyer.
Speaker 4 Meyer and Ruby.
Speaker 2 They're both like so like 1930s, gonna go work in the mines.
Speaker 2 Like they're, they're just like strong boys.
Speaker 2 Don't
Speaker 2 you love it?
Speaker 2 Not to be that guy, but Ruby's really, he's growing, Josh.
Speaker 4
He's gorgeous. She sent me a picture the other day.
He is vital.
Speaker 2 He's a big boy. B-H-B-H-B-H, 85th percentile in weight today.
Speaker 2 85. Wow.
Speaker 4 You taking a move to a doctor out in the Hamptons?
Speaker 2 No, no, no. We weigh him and then we ask ChatGPT what it means.
Speaker 4 You have a baby scale?
Speaker 2
No, no, I weigh him. I hop on the scale.
I weigh myself. Then are you bike naked? Why doesn't this work? No, it totally works.
Speaker 4 I thought maybe you put him on the meat scale while you're doing mortgage lives.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 2 I hop on the scale. I'm disturbed at the number.
Speaker 2
I grab him. We both hop on the scale.
And then we minus me plus him minus me.
Speaker 4 Sure.
Speaker 2
That makes sense. It's gorgeous.
And then we say, hey, ChatGPT,
Speaker 2 what percentile is this gorgeous human? And it spits it out.
Speaker 4
That's good. Meyer's low.
Meyer needs to put on some weight. He's in the 15th percentile.
Speaker 2
Okay, but I'm just saying Ruby was born in the 30s. It can happen quick.
Oh,
Speaker 2 good, good, good.
Speaker 2 It can happen quick. All right, if he's got to put it on, just
Speaker 2 I don't know, shove it down. What do you do? What do you do in that case? Is he not, he's eating?
Speaker 4
No, he's eating. He's just a little bit slower to, you know, he didn't figure out eating right away.
Like his swallowing was like a little, like a little funny.
Speaker 2 But then, but okay.
Speaker 4 Slowly but surely. But now he's like really calling for the bottle and he's got a strong suck.
Speaker 2
Great. So he'll have a great two weeks.
He'll be right back on track. No problem.
No problem.
Speaker 2

Speaker 4 Weight, 15th percent. Head circumference, 53.
Speaker 2 We are going up, up, up, my boy.
Speaker 2 I can't find it, but everything that you said sounds pretty, pretty good, pretty in there. But he was like, he was very like average.
Speaker 2 The only thing remarkable now is the weight piece, but everything else is like very standard.
Speaker 2 Very.
Speaker 2 Ruvine.
Speaker 2 What will be his first food that you will let him try in?
Speaker 2 Oh, I'm very sorry. Make no mistake.
Speaker 4 In two and a half months, he'll try it.
Speaker 2
I'm very, very excited to just like make cool food. Like maybe we'll do like a nice mashed Japanese sweet potato.
How does that sound? Is that a good first food?
Speaker 4 Yes. And as a World War II historian, you can say, you know, we forgave them.
Speaker 2
We forgave them, the Japanese. We did.
And now we enjoy their gorgeous purple sweet. I had a Japanese sweet potato the other day.
Holy crap. This had to be my best bite of the week.
Speaker 2 Honestly, just like a light char. Oh, maybe there was a little honey.
Speaker 2 Maybe there's like a little honey or like a honey chili crisp or something holy smokes don't discount this vegetable folks if you have you've been scared of it you look in the grocery store it's long like what do i do with this thing slice it open throw it in the oven and enjoy it's gorgeous that that i think is good i'm not not like uh who really wants like a mashed peas or broccoli or that's not delicious we always do avocado oh that's nice a little mashed ove
Speaker 2
That sounds delicious. That sounds delicious.
Okay, so at three months, he starts having a little bit of food.
Speaker 4 Four months, they just kind of, and it's fun because they have no idea what's happening.
Speaker 2 When do they drink water?
Speaker 4 I don't want to speak out of turn here, but before they're one,
Speaker 4 we would add a little bit of water to his formula.
Speaker 2 Got it.
Speaker 4 To or to breast milk, like on like really hot days, because you have to be very, very careful.
Speaker 4 They can have little to no water because it messes with the electrolytes in their body and so it like their literal brain electricity um but you know in consultation with your pediatrician there will come a time where you can give them a little water and so we would like if he was having you know four or six ounces of formula we'd put in like an ounce of water and uh
Speaker 2 yeah keep them a little hydrated it's just crazy do you ever think about that that we go from zero water to so much water like all all we do is drink water. All I do is drink water.
Speaker 2 I drink so much water, probably,
Speaker 2
probably 100 ounces a day of water I drink. Why? At least.
Why? I don't know. I just do.
Like I, I see a water bottle. I finish it.
I'm, I drink so much water.
Speaker 4 And is it because you've told yourself that's good?
Speaker 2
Like not even. Like I think that at one point, yes.
And now I'm just thirsty.
Speaker 2 Maybe I need, a honestly like an element or something maybe my electrolytes are off right now i'm just i'm thirsty you don't have any pre-d's do you i don't i don't no because that'll give you kind of an insatiable thirst yeah no i don't but i'm it's not insatiable it's more like a it's more like a dry mouth that i want to lubricate
Speaker 2
it could also be podcasting and just like talking a lot makes you thirsty. Sure.
Like I definitely drink a lot around these episodes, but I'm just a pisher, man.
Speaker 4
I got a small blad, and I am piss, pish, pishing. I'll ruin a road trip.
You know, I just really have to be careful of my
Speaker 4 consumption. And I love, you know, me, I'm, you know, Peter's sparkling water over here.
Speaker 4 By the way, my kids loving sparkling water, and it kind of feels anti-Semitic when my wife and her family goes, they have such Jewish palates, Jewish boys, and their sparkling water.
Speaker 2 And I'm like, okay, Heinrich. But
Speaker 2 but I guess
Speaker 2 is sparkling water Jewish I think it's not Jewish but it's like I'll have a seltzer
Speaker 2 seltzer absolutely or a club soda these are Jewish no question yeah but like a well like a Perrier it's the same thing though
Speaker 2 it's the epitome of France
Speaker 2 France
Speaker 4 should we get to a story yeah
Speaker 4
let's hear one i would love to talk about a story um let's see what do we got? What do we have going on here? Page six. Everything's in the news.
Everything's going crazy. There's so much hot goss.
Speaker 2 You see this. You see this Elon thing with his chatbot?
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 2
Google this. Okay.
This is a good story. And I don't know all the details.
Google Elon Musk anti-Semitic chatbot.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 I think this happened like an hour ago.
Speaker 4 Grok made anti-Semitic posts?
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 4 The AI chatbot Grok, which is produced by Elon Musk's ex-AI, wrote numerous anti-Semitic social media posts Tuesday after the artificial intelligence company released a revamped version of it.
Speaker 4 The posts range from alleging patterns about Jewish people to praising Hitler.
Speaker 2 Yikes.
Speaker 2 Isn't that weird? And by the way, I'm not, this is not me saying that just because Elon Musk has his name on it that I think he's an anti-Semite.
Speaker 2 I thought that this was just interesting and the power of AI and how dangerous it is like i use chat gpt josh for everything
Speaker 2 i love it but if it started to give me like i guess it could start feeding propaganda
Speaker 2 oh only a hundred percent yeah it's pretty scary like
Speaker 2
maybe somebody because it's still humans humans are still controlling what goes into AI. I don't really know how it works.
Like, is there somebody there
Speaker 2 who
Speaker 2 maybe was a little anti-Semitic that influenced that? Like, how does that work? How does the gathering of information work? Do you know?
Speaker 2 Like, for training an AI bot, are those humans giving inputs and then AI taking those inputs, learning them, and spitting them back out?
Speaker 2 And if that's the case, somebody needed to have taught the AI chatbot about Hitler.
Speaker 4 Well, it's the old anti-Semitism is the oldest virus that exists. So I would imagine anything scrubbing the internet
Speaker 4 would take in enough anti-Semitic
Speaker 4
influence that it could make the leap to believe that this is so common that maybe there's some version of it. But I will say, like, I, you know, and tell me what you think.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 I don't know the answer, but I know, like, there is this famous New Yorker article called The World, According to elon musk's grandfather what happened to anti-semitic rants before social media that like
Speaker 4 i think in elon's life there was a big influence of anti-semitism coming from the grandfather from his father who famously he had a horrible was an abusive horrible guy and then elon got in trouble for spouting some anti-semitic bullshit that that was when ben shapiro and the rest of the people got on him and to his credit he did a pretty big reversal, Mia Culpa and went to Israel and like, you know, educated himself.
Speaker 4 But I think when these things like
Speaker 4 the salute, like Grock, you know, having a bit of a moment, it's like, it's not out of nowhere. Like, there is some evidence to suggest there could have been some influence.
Speaker 2
Could be. Could be.
What do you think do you think?
Speaker 2 No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 I always hate blaming like the CEO of a company for something that happens in their AI. Like he has a thousand million engineers that work for X and like a million people that work.
Speaker 2 I'm not saying that you can't look at the wealth of information in front of you and then say, oh, maybe it was because he has anti-Semitic leanings, but he owns it.
Speaker 2 It's a billion dollar company, right? Like it's not like
Speaker 2 every single AI input is run by him. It's not like Elon's personal opinions.
Speaker 2 It's the chats, right? But I hear the other things that you're saying, so it's possible.
Speaker 4 Um, because in like I remember Grock spouted something the other day, and he like publicly said, like, oh, this is no good. Like, you're getting updated, right?
Speaker 4 So, like, when he says something like that, clearly there's some knobs that can be turned to have it lean or have a propensity for something. It's not its own sentient thing.
Speaker 2 Yeah. So, let's see, let's see what he says about Grock and we'll talk about it the next time.
Speaker 2
Seriously, like, if he doesn't, if he's done that before, then he needs to come out and say, oh, Grock missed the mark here. Like, I'm not a big fan of Hitler.
What's Grock reading my journal? No.
Speaker 2 Sonny. Oh, man.
Speaker 4 I do have to say one quick thing before we get to our what are you nuts. My best spite of the week is.
Speaker 4 You know, I'm a fat boy ice cream sandwich guy. You know this about me, yes?
Speaker 2 Delicious. Yes.
Speaker 4
A freaking America's best ice cream sandwich, America's ice cream sandwich. What can I say? So good.
So delish.
Speaker 4
So, you know, I've been working with them. So they sent me a bunch and they've got like standard ice cream sandwich grape, but then they have like a mint chip one.
They have a cookies and cream one.
Speaker 4
They have a strawberry confetti ice cream deliciousness. And I said one day, I was like, the wheels are off.
I said, an ice cream sandwich by itself, fabulous, but I'm going to level it up.
Speaker 2 You want to hear what I mean? Tell me.
Speaker 4 I took a mint chip ice cream sandwich. My son Shai has started school slash camp, but it's a camp held at his school that he'll start in September.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 4
it's so beautiful. And you'll have this with Ruben.
Like, it's not that they hate school. They hate the idea of goodbye.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 And so, you know, at drop off, it'll break your freaking heart because they just cry, cry, cry. And the teacher will assure you.
Speaker 4 And this happened with Max for a couple weeks where the teacher was like, listen, I can't have a miserable kid in my class for the next six hours.
Speaker 4 It'll, you know, if he's sobbing for six hours, it's not going to work. So trust me, let me have him.
Speaker 4 He will be happy in 10 minutes and I'll send you a picture. And if he's not, I'm going to have you pick him up because like, don't.
Speaker 2 That doesn't work. Yeah.
Speaker 4 Like you're not a bad guy for leaving your kid here. Every kid has a tough transition into school, especially at two or three.
Speaker 4
So anyway, that's what happened with Shai. The teacher would send me a picture 10 minutes after drop off.
He couldn't be happier running around the playground. So I got all these
Speaker 4
things for an ice cream Sunday bar. So Friday after school, I said, I'm so proud of you.
Let's celebrate. Let's make ice cream Sundays.
And he couldn't have been happier.
Speaker 4 So over the weekend, I remember I got a little hot fudge, got a little marshmallow.
Speaker 2 So I went,
Speaker 2 I got the fluff.
Speaker 4
So this is what I do. This is what I do, Benjamin.
I take the mint chip ice cream sandwich, put that in the bowl, boom, fat boy, bang. Then I heat up the hot fudge.
Speaker 4 I heat up the fluff and I heat up peanut butter.
Speaker 2 Oh, my God.
Speaker 4 I microwave it, Ben.
Speaker 4 Oh, my God. What am I an asshole?
Speaker 2 I get it.
Speaker 4 And I drizzle.
Speaker 2 I do a triple drizzle over it.
Speaker 4
Then I hit a little whipped cream, some sprinkles, would have liked a roasted peanut. Didn't have it.
I'm making an ice cream sundae with a fat boy, beyond.
Speaker 2
Wow. Sick.
Holy smokes. Sick.
Honestly, I got to go out and buy a container of fluff. I forgot about fluff.
Yeah. Fluff is fantastic.
All of that. That sounds unbelievable.
Fluff yourself.
Speaker 4 Tippy top-notch. Be your own fluffer.
Speaker 2 I will. I'm in.
Speaker 2
Do you have a what are you nuts? I do. And our what are you nuts hoax is our gripes with people, places, and things.
You're looking across the street. Woman is wearing no shoes.
Speaker 2 You're like, what are you nuts, lady? Put on some shoes.
Speaker 2 my what are you nuts is i mentioned this to you josh this duna
Speaker 2 now let me qualify and say the duna is a wonderful if you're a parent it's a lifesaver you use it as a car seat it then becomes a stroller it's absolutely fantastic that said maybe the what are you nuts is on me josh i took this duna to the beach okay i like using the duna because beautiful ruby can sit under it's basically a built-in umbrella I was on, you're carrying this thing though through the beach.
Speaker 2
My God, you talk about I have trouble walking in the sand without holding a 20-pound, 30-pound, 40-pound duna. This thing weighs a ton.
I was out of breath. I thought I was going to drop him.
Speaker 2
Just a complete woody nuts. Make these things lighter.
It's too heavy.
Speaker 2 Completely.
Speaker 4 Could not agree more.
Speaker 2 You have one.
Speaker 4 My woody nuts is
Speaker 4 my wife is a vegan
Speaker 2 lover. She's a perfect person.
Speaker 4 That is a bit of a woody nuts, but
Speaker 2 she
Speaker 4
cooks breakfast for my kids sometimes. Usually I'm on breakfast duty, but sometimes she does it too.
And she's an amazing, attentive mother and she feeds them everything.
Speaker 4 When I tell you this woman cooks a scrambled egg so fucking hard.
Speaker 2 You have never seen an egg this hard.
Speaker 4 What are you nuts? Page, soft scramble.
Speaker 2 Could this be any harder? Like, you're browning the scrambled eggs.
Speaker 2 You cannot brown a scrambled egg, paint.
Speaker 4 What are you nuts?
Speaker 2 Honestly, it's like my sister-in-law, Jackie, she's always so petrified that like a chicken meatball isn't going to be completely cooked through
Speaker 2 that they end up just, oh, they're cooked through. All right.
Speaker 2 I'll use it to throw it at your head.
Speaker 2
But you won't get salmonella. No, she's actually a fantastic cook.
It's fantastic cook. Shout out.
She made a homemade tomato sauce last night.
Speaker 2 If you're looking just to spice up, Josh, spice up your routine, don't go for the Rayos. Don't go for the carbone.
Speaker 2 Go for a tomato, some onion, some oregano, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, blend, put it in
Speaker 2 a pan, blend it, and it makes a beautiful thick sauce.
Speaker 4 Now, when you say blend, you mean with like a hand blender or in a Vitamix?
Speaker 2
An immersion blender or throw it in a Vitamix after. But you char everything a little garlic, a little oil, and then you throw it in and it becomes smooth.
It's just like tomato sauce. It's a better.
Speaker 2
Some basil, some basil. It is fabulous.
It is fabulous. You know what else is fabulous, Josh? This show.
