A mother's dream premium podcast team.

Make it your weekly routine.

It's a good guys.

And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts?

What are you nuts?

There were the good guys.

They're not the great guys.

Brings us so good and good of the good guys.

Whoa.

Ben, how the hell are you?

I am splendid, my friend.

How are you?

You're looking great.

Thank you.

God bless you.

I like my Emily and Dor shirt.

Although I keep name-dropping them left and right, and they give me zero love, no love.

Getting zero.

It's a donut.

It's a nothing.

It's tough.

It's like when you're a really cool brand, like you don't need to give people things.

But like that, like

that grinds my gears.

I know, I know.

Like give Josh a t-shirt.

You can't give him a t-shirt.

I've been into the

Amdi Leandor.

Am Leandor

at Soho.

I went in there.

I was actually surprised.

It was not as fat phobic as I would have expected a nice brand to be.

I went in there.

Their XLs fit.

It was nice.

It was good.

Almost through me.

Yeah, there's nothing like going into like a high-end Italian designer store and putting on a shirt and feeling like you're a sausage encased in a tight saran wrap casing.

It's awful.

Like Paul Smith, sorry, you can't sponsor me anyways.

I'm too fat.

You try on a freaking t-shirt that's an XL.

This is this is no XL.

Same thing with a Verlibriquin.

Happen to love the bathing suit.

Shout out that said, I wear a double, I wear a triple XL.

Yes, 36 gene should not be a triple XL.

What happens happens if you're a 40?

A 6X?

You're going to kill yourself.

A triple XL bathing suit should come with a seatbelt extender.

Did you come with suspenders?

But Volibriquin or whatever the heck, however you pronounce it, isn't that like $200 bathing suits?

Unless you go to Woodbury Commons, my friend.

Unless you go to Woodbury.

Yeah, the Volibriquin outlets are popping, popping.

You can get three for $60 a a piece.

They're good bathing suits.

Very good.

Very good.

They are very good.

Okay, okay, okay.

We're going to do a deep dive on outlets right now.

Right now.

I love an outlet.

Love an outlet.

Love an outlet.

I'm going to tanger.

We have a Woodbury.

Tell me more.

We have a Camarillo outlet.

We have the Cabazon outlets.

We have the Tanger outlets and the Woodbury outlets.

Those are the only ones I remember.

I can't remember another outlet, but I love an outlet.

Okay.

No, I went to one in Florida.

There was a Florida outlet.

What the?

it was so good i don't remember the shops so good

okay i'm gonna i'm i don't want to lead the witness here but i am googling the dirty truths of outlet shops and let's see what they say because i know okay

Outlet stores often sell lower quality versions of products or items made specifically for them rather than the same high-quality goods found in regular stores, leading to potentially misleading marketing practices.

Yep.

Interesting.

I mean, if you've ever been to a Nike outlet, you know that stuff is bottom of the barrel.

Like the swoosh is way too big.

You're like, why do, why do I have such a big swoosh on my leg?

Totally.

Okay.

And the waistband is always like a little fecocked.

And like the cotton is just like a little not cotton.

It's a little bit like will hurt your nipples.

Like nobody chafes on the nipples from a true cotton t-shirt.

You chafe on the nipples from these blends.

They're lying to you.

That would happen from a Nike outlet.

And it's always like the gear is always for a player who is good, but maybe not like an all-star.

Like, oh, cool, I got the Sasha Voyachik threes.

You know?

Yeah.

Exactly.

I got a Lou Williams twos.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

The Trevor Ariza headband, you know?

Yeah.

Great players, but not LeBron.

No.

But you can also catch, no, actually, I was about to say that you could catch a deal on a sneaker that you like, but that's actually not true.

When you go to the outlets and you look for an Air Force One, they cost the exact same amount as in a regular Nike store.

You know what would be ill if like any company who makes like a really good dad shoe, like a new balance or something, if they did like special edition shoes the way like Nike does for Jordan, but for just dads.

So like these are the Jeff 3s.

Yes.

These are the Mark 5s.

Killing it.

Yeah.

I'm trying to, what's a good brand?

These are the Ava and Barb 2s by Meryl.

Yeah.

These are the sockony Bernie ones.

Can you imagine that?

Sounds like we're Bernie Sanders.

I like my sockonies.

Burn him on the campaign trail.

He needs a collab with Land's End.

That's what he needs.

Big time on those khakis.

Yeah, let's think of celebrities and what they're like, random celebrities and what their collab should be.

So, Bernie Sanders, it's Land's End.

It's giving LL Bean.

It's giving

Eddie Bauer, even maybe.

Yeah, he could go Eddie Bauer.

Who else?

Pick another celebrity.

The boom, boom, guys.

Big jumpers.

Oh, Costco guys?

Costco guys.

Okay.

Feeling.

Hell.

For sure.

I'm thinking, I almost said D squared.

Why would they go go D squared?

Unico.

Probably Ralph Lauren, right?

Maybe like a little polo.

Maybe.

They're Costco guys, though.

They go Kirkland.

That's their thing.

Oh, man.

Costco should do like an entire fashion show in a Costco.

How lit would that be?

Sick idea.

Sick idea.

If you work for Costco and we see that happen and you didn't pay my boy, there's going to be problems.

Yes.

Okay.

Just a small finder's finder's fee.

We don't need anything crazy.

Like, again, $250 to Mastra.

Something, hey, Josh, I heard your idea.

I'm running with it.

Thanks so much, gift card.

We're not asking for anything crazy, but if you don't acknowledge this, we're coming for you.

Like, I'm the biggest idea, Josh.

Great idea.

Thanks.

Maybe they give out their signature things.

Like, at every seat is a rotisserie chicken.

Yes.

Can you imagine Michelle Pfeiffer picking away and a fucking die

while watching people walking the catwalk.

It would be almost as big as our episode with Drake.

Almost.

Almost.

Sidney Sweeney, you know, she's there picking away at a drumstick.

Yeah.

I've known that.

Me?

I'm not there.

So sad.

Of course nobody invited him.

Nobody invited me.

Fuck that.

I'm outside eating a chicken.

I alone.

I do.

Don't you ever think about it, and maybe we should thank your wife for this, like how lucky I am to have a podcast with you where the chemistry is undeniable?

No, it's, we're very lucky.

We're very lucky.

Thank you for saying that, but we're very lucky.

I'm very lucky to be able to be your co-host.

I'm very lucky to be yours.

It's very, it's lucky.

Lucky is the right word.

Nobody else has.

You think that you have a freaking podcast?

Loser?

Quit.

Okay?

Quit.

You're never going to have this chemistry.

You're never going to find it.

You're going to be searching for it your whole life.

It's never going to come.

These big podcasts, they're big because they get these big guests That's a layup try doing 45 minutes of neurotic banter like me and Ben you can't this is this is nothing.

We're talking about nothing literally we're talking about a fashion show at Costco where you're eating rotisserie chicken.

We don't even know how we got here I literally said to Josh before this starts I have some spritz news and I want to talk about getting a new car and we're talking about rotisserie chickens during a Costco fashion show.

This is it doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't make any sense.

You can't find this anywhere.

Our brains, our brains don't make sense.

They're a weird world, yet they mesh.

They mesh.

Alex Cooper's got Ellen Pompeo.

We've got Rotisserie Chicken.

And I go chicken all day long.

All day long.

Okay, so let's.

Oh, we were talking about outlets.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The dirty truth about outlets.

We've been all over the place.

Oh, misleading compare pricing.

Outlet stores may use compare at pricing to make items seem like a better deal than they actually are by inflating the original price.

Makes sense.

When you go to an outlet, Josh, what are you looking for?

Are you looking for designer for less?

Are you looking for an anti-anns?

Like,

what's your go-to?

You go to the outlets.

And what's the best outlet in California, in Southern California?

Where are you guys going?

You guys hit the outlets?

See, that's hard to say.

Yes, we have the Camarillo outlets, which are very popular.

We have Cabazon on the way out to palm desert gotta hit those up the truth is it's it's hard to know what i will do is i'll go load up at brands that i wear all the time that i know i like yep back in the day like you know i'd hit a theory and evince and just get like and get multiples like you know a couple dress shirts a couple t-shirts couple pairs of slacks and like just be done but then yeah like i once got a sick pink suit from yves saint laurent for like 70% off.

I got my mom a handbag from Gucci that was like 1800 bucks marked down to 400 or something.

Like, yeah.

I, there's no better feeling than getting a luxury, like a luxury deal.

It just feels amazing.

That said, if you go into an outlet blind, you're in trouble.

You're going to leave there with so much shit.

It's very important.

You go to the outlets, you map it out.

Okay, I want to go here.

I want to go here.

I'm looking for something like this.

Otherwise, you're really,

it's no good.

Every single time I know, I want to go Ralph Lauren.

The Ralph Lauren outlet is fantastic at Woodbury Commons.

Fantastic.

I want to go to Ferragamo just in case I happen to see like your pinky son Laurent suit.

Maybe they have a nice purple driver that normally is 800.

I get it for three.

You map it out.

You go in.

And if you win, you win.

Josh, if you lose, you have to be okay losing.

losing you have to be comfortable walking out with nothing otherwise you're gonna get something so freaking stupid that you're never gonna wear absolutely and i will even go into a calvin klein outlet and get about 10 pairs of the modal underwear that i like with the special elastine

do they josh do they give you a deal on calvin klein underwear Even if it's the same underwear, they're giving you a deal.

Yeah, no, you can get it's a deal to be had.

Okay, that's good.

It's good to know.

It could be a buy three, get one, buy two, get one sometimes.

You never know.

I switched maybe two years ago from Calvin Klein briefs.

I wear strictly Gilden, Amazon brand.

I love them.

They are stretchy.

They are great.

They're fantastic.

I order 12 of them at a time.

And by I order them, I mean Claudia orders them for me.

They show up 12 at a time.

They have an amazing waistband.

I can tuck them up, bring them up to my nipples.

They're wonderful.

Gilden.

G-I-L-D-A-N.

Oh, I'm familiar with Gilden.

i was just i just didn't know you were titled you're not perhaps you need a perhaps you need a link you're not gatekeeping gilden

okay so let me ask you because i try to abide by tom ford's style rules do you know these rules no please share okay

first tom ford's style advice find your uniform identify outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident and build your wardrobe around them would you say you do that

yes yes i do what i'm really comfortable in though i can't wear regularly.

What I'm really comfortable in is joggers, Crocs, and a T-shirt.

Yes.

So my version of daily comfort, black jeans, a t-shirt, sneakers.

And then I build around.

Like Tom Ford only wears a suit.

I want to get there.

I want to do.

I want to be full Tom Ford slash Drake Belt.

You want to wake up every day and put on a suit?

I think that if I was doing something like directing, I think there is something about,

what's the phrase?

Like dress for the party you want to have or something to that extent, but I think there's nothing more classic about a man in trousers and a button-up shirt with the collar open.

I agree.

Not even a joke.

I just think that sometimes you foster the wrong culture.

Like you're directing and you show up in a crisp suit.

Does that signal the wrong thing to the cast and crew?

Are they going to be a little bit too uptight?

Like, I don't know.

Like, and maybe I'm overthinking this but like if you showed up in a t-shirt or something that was more comfortable and they're like oh this josh peck is a kick ass actor but he's also super down to earth look at what he wears like i it's an extreme example but i see adam sandler classically basketball shorts in the winter with a winter coat sneakers dresses like he doesn't give a shit and i look at him i'm like i think you're hilarious even though most of your movies stink but i think there a lot of them are hilarious and i love that you don't care if he like tried so hard I don't know if I'd find him that funny.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what he recently, there was a clip of him talking that he used to wear oversized clothes because he was in good shape, and being in really good shape isn't necessarily funny.

So, he wanted to kind of mask his body and oversize things so he looked a little bit more everyman.

And he said, My God,

what an idea that this whole time it's been a hoax.

But now he's like, I am out of shape, and so I wear it to cover up my out-of-shape body.

But that's still so fascinating.

He was in great shape, so he dressed like he was homeless, so people wouldn't think that he was in great shape.

Yeah, just back.

You know, you wear baggy clothes.

You can't see like how ripped you are.

Can't see.

Wow.

Fascinating.

I had no idea.

I think you have to, you know, like walking on set with Christopher Nolan, who wears a uniform every day, but a beautiful, you know, three-quarter length coat.

And I mean, there is, it's the casual of the dressed stuff because it's like a blue-collared shirt that's kind of open, a vest,

and he wears that pretty much every day.

And like, a pair of, like, I remember he'd wear these beautiful brown trousers, and I'm like thinking, I'm like, are those faconable?

Like,

you're like, Nolan, send me a link.

Yeah, I'm like, are those Burberry?

Once I saw, I saw the tag or like the back of his jeans, they're Vans, brown vans, pants.

Wow.

Is that

is he an every man or what?

Every man.

Every man.

Wow.

And his AD, who's this brilliant, famous, incredible assistant director who really, you know, it's important that your AD can command and help run a set.

His name is Nilo, and he would wear a perfectly pressed dress shirt every day with the collar crisp.

And when, I don't know what it is, but like when you're in the middle of the New Mexican desert, when it's, you know, there's a sandstorm and it's windy and the elements and everyone's like dressed to their tea.

And you see this like studly Italian guy in his like late 50s, early 60s, in a perfectly pressed shirt in the elements, you go like, all right.

Yeah.

You know, it's inspiring.

It's inspiring.

I see that as well.

All right.

Why don't we do, we could do casual Mondays, business Thursdays.

If you want to do that, the only issue is we shoot both on the same day.

So we'll have to

bring a change of clothes.

I'll let you all need a dressing room.

But Tom Ford also, I remember, notoriously said that men only should wear shorts when going to or coming from the pool.

And that anything with an open toe for a man is unacceptable, which I agree.

I don't want to look at man feet ever.

No, it's true.

It's true.

I think that the thong in particular, the shoe thong, is no good.

Men can't wear thongs.

They can't do it.

If you want to, if it's your style to wear a Birkenstock, I'll allow it.

That said, you can catch me in a thong quite often when I'm on vacation.

Thong being the shoe thong, again, not the underwear thong.

I will throw on these Javianas and hit the pool with no regard for my feet.

Now, my feet aren't ugly by any means.

I do have the classic second toe longer than the big toe, which means either that you're an Ashkenaz Jew or that you are a climber, I've learned.

One or the other, not the same, but we both have big second toes.

You could catch that.

But yeah, you'll find me in a Haviana.

Sometimes it's like a theme.

Javiana sounds like my mother at a Brazilian pool deck trying to get an extra towel.

Like, Javiana, dear,

Javiana.

Two towels, please.

You have a chips, a crudite.

You have a crudité.

It's hysterical.

I don't know where I picked them up from.

I randomly have a pair of Havianas.

They like have the Jamaican flag on them.

They all get them in June.

Oh, do they all?

No, it's not the Brazilian flag because they're Brazilian.

Oh, is it?

Yeah.

Okay.

No, you must be riffing.

That makes sense.

That must make sense.

Yeah, they all have the flag.

Yeah, it's a Brazilian.

Brazilian flag.

Okay, Brazilian flag, not Jamaican.

Don't be an

Brazilian fans and Bondia.

Love our Brazilian fans.

every single target store in the country you can shop it at harris teeter in south carolina julasco in chicago or on gopuff But the fact that we are going to be in every Target is like, I know I don't talk about it a lot here, but it's something that Josh knows I work a full-time job on, and it's really, it's my Super Bowl.

Like the fact that I was able to make a canned cocktail without any prior experience and somehow get it into Target.

It's Target.

It's like, it's the dream.

It's like we're playing with the big boys.

So if you haven't tried it yet, go into your local Target and try it.

So, yeah, modzo, awesome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

And you're getting a new car on top of it.

I was going to say, in other news, tell me.

Brooklyn Land Rover, you have been amazing.

Love you.

We love the Brooklyn Jaguar of Land Rover.

That said.

But you clearly haven't re-upped our agreement for a free car.

Correct.

You have not re-upped.

You have not re-upped.

And that said, we're on to greener pastures.

Okay.

Come June, Josh, we will be flying in a different kind of style.

I don't know what I'm getting.

I tried to look honestly at some General Motors cars.

I was looking at the new Tahoe.

I don't know if you've noticed, Josh.

I think Chevy changed the front look of their cars.

They don't look the same anymore.

These Tahos, these suburbans, they don't look the way that they did.

I don't love them.

I could go for a smaller escalade.

I like that.

I like a bigger car.

A Jeep we're looking at, you know, like a nice souped up Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Grand Cherokee or Grand Wagoneer?

The Wagoneer is a little too big.

Here's lovely, though.

I don't know.

What do you think I should get?

Funny enough, my wife and I too are looking at cars now that we have three humans to cart around.

I love, I think the Chevy Tahoe is a great looking car.

I think Chevy Suburban is awesome.

And truly, if you have two kids or more, kind of what you need, because it's the only car that's big enough where you get a third row and cargo space.

You get that third row in the Tahoe, but you don't get a lot of storage for groceries, stroller, whatever.

So I think, are you thinking American because of the 25% tariff on any other car that isn't American that starts on the car?

The truth is, I wasn't even thinking about it.

So, no, but now, yeah, I'm thinking American.

I'm not going to, yeah, no, we're not.

I'm not going to pay a premium for nothing.

That's silly.

So, yeah, we'll go American.

So, yeah, GM, I don't really want to Ford.

Please don't offer me a free car because I'll be forced to take it, but I don't want to Ford.

I'm not interested in a Ford.

GM would be great.

I love the look of an Escalade.

I always have.

I just

only electric now, though.

The newest Escalade is fully electric.

Oh, God, I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I'm going to get stuck.

There's nowhere to charge it in the city.

I can't do that.

So that knocks that off the list.

You can't charge it in your garage?

Maybe you can.

My garage.

Oh, Josh, I forgot to tell you.

My tips have been going a long way.

I had a flat, a tire that was down to, it was needed air.

Josh, I come back.

He filled my tire.

My garage guy filled my tire.

They are the best.

These guys are the best.

I love them.

What about a Jeep?

You don't like a Jeep?

Like, a souped-up Cherokee is cool.

A souped-up grand Cherokee is cool, and you can get it at a screaming deal, my boy.

A screaming deal.

That's what I'm saying.

Like, I could spend, I could get a souped up Cherokee for $800 a month.

Souped.

Probably less.

Souped.

Souped up.

Souped to nuts.

The Grand Wagonier, though, is too big.

My brother-in-law, who you've met, Zach, he has the Grand Wagonier.

And this car.

Wow.

This is an enormous car.

It's wider than the suburban.

It's wider than the Escalade.

This is a bus or a boat, as they call it.

I can't do that.

But yeah, I was thinking maybe a BMW, but yeah, you can't go.

Josh, the tariff doesn't really affect if it's free.

It's true.

But no, I'm probably paying for the car.

So, all right, we'll go American.

We're going between GM or Jeep.

Well, it's funny because we have a speakpipe.

And if you want to leave us a message, get advice from us, go to speakpipe.com slash good guys.

We don't want to hear your what are you nuts.

We don't want it to be long.

Keep it brief.

Brevity is key.

But there is something pertaining to cars, and it's from a little person named Campbell.

Hi, good guys.

So I am 17, and my parents just surprised me with a car for my birthday.

And while I am so grateful, I have a slight issue with the car.

They got me a custom license plate, and the custom license plate says D-U-I-God.

And when they gave it to me, they said, well, you're driving under the influence of God, which is true.

But to me and all my friends, we read it as, I'm the God of DUIs.

And that is just no good.

No 17-year-old wants to be driving around her hometown with people thinking that she's the God of DUIs.

So how do I carefully and nicely break this to them that this might have been a mistake?

As grateful as I am for the car, the license plate is just a little too much.

And I know they've probably spent a pretty penny to get a custom license plate.

So please help me navigate this.

Thanks.

Bye.

That is hysterical.

What are you nuts?

Of course it reads as you're the god of DUIs.

Which is right.

DUI God.

That's

so fucking punk.

You'll get pulled over non-stop.

You got to change that.

Sorry, parents.

Thanks for the car, but DUI God.

What are you nuts?

So good.

So good.

So funny.

Just go.

It's not.

I mean, respectfully to your parents, it's not that much to get.

A personalized license plate's 100 bucks.

Like you can, you can get it changed.

Good to know.

Have you ever have you ever considered a personalized plate?

No,

no, I haven't.

I would sooner go with the stickers.

You have to have stickers if you're going to have the personalized license plate.

Also, if you have a personalized license plate, I don't want people knowing my license plate.

You don't want people knowing that.

No, someone else the other day cut me off in traffic because their license plate was tuna melt.

This is unacceptable.

That is an incredible plate.

How'd they get it?

It did make me not want to get into Road Rage with them because I'm like, this guy must be chill with the amount of tuna milks he has.

Oh, he's so nice.

You should have a snack with him.

What other

license plates could diffuse road raids if someone read it?

Like, whoops.

I actually saw one that said, whoops.

You saw one that said whoops?

In the wild, like a couple weeks ago.

Churros.

Good guy.

Yeah, good guy.

Yeah.

Tune him out.

Tune him out.

Tune him out.

It's good.

Well, there's another one, and this one I think pertains to our boy Ben.

He can have some good insight.

It's from Anonymous.

Hey, Josh and Ben.

So, big more on here.

My husband is a huge golfer, much like you, Ben.

He's pretty good.

Like, I would say he's better than average.

But when he starts playing bad or he gets a feeling that he started playing worse, he like actually gets upset.

He's like, do not talk to me about golf.

Like, I hate golf right now.

Like, I'm doing so bad.

And it, like, really affects his mood so much so that, like, it extends to me.

And then, like, I'm in a bad mood because he's in a bad mood.

And I don't know.

I just feel like...

We are he's gonna be turning 30 this year.

I am 28.

Like, I just feel like we're past the point where golf should be such an angsty thing.

I just feel like it's a hobby.

Hobbies should make you happy and let's not like get upset about things.

Am I wrong for that?

Like, is it normal to feel so upset as an adult?

All right.

No, this is an enormous sweat of you nuts.

Like, you're allowed to be, if you, first of all, there's nothing worse than playing with somebody who's angry.

Okay, we're all out there.

We're trying to have a good time.

We're, of course, trying to play our best.

But if you're not playing well, everybody else around you feels it.

If you're like a yeller yeller or a club thrower or a leave that shit at home, it's not good.

The idea that this guy is bringing home his golf baggage off the course is insanity.

Like you should be so thankful that your lovely girlfriend or wife, are they married?

I don't know.

Did she say?

Whatever, your lovely partner like loves you enough that she's even talking about this.

Like, my wife would not stand for this for one second.

She'd say, you are never fucking golfing again.

The fact that you're leaving me for eight hours and then you're bringing home a bad mood.

Like, no, your wife is lovely.

She let you go out, have a nice time with your friends, play a sport that you really love.

You're gonna drag home that you played bad and let it affect your mood the whole day.

This guy is nuts.

Nuts.

Golf could give a shit about you, Rick.

And also,

and I'm not speaking about anyone in particular here except for Philadelphia Eagle fans.

Don't bring home your sports mission either.

If you're at the bar and your team lost, lost, no one cares.

Your team doesn't care about you in instant, like at all.

Just leave it at home.

Like,

don't bring it home.

Leave it at the bar.

Leave it at the bar.

1000%.

Nuts.

And like the fact that there are people, plenty of people who that affects, especially Jet fans.

Like they walk around all mopey.

And it's like, get over it, okay?

Get over it.

Or stop being a fan.

But also, like, if your Super bowl is flag football in the park don't blow out your knee yes try that hobby within reason okay hobby within reason look if you're playing division three basketball for your community college blow out a knee whatever i get it it at least that is at the bottom end of something worth caring about but like if you're playing club sports or you're like I don't know,

you're in an adult intramural league, stop it.

Cut it out.

You didn't make it, Rick.

There's nothing worse than that guy.

I haven't, like, I used to, I would probably play basketball like at least once a month.

Now I'm at once every six months.

Tops.

But you'd go to a game and there's that one guy that shows up wearing the headband, wearing the jersey.

I've told this story before, but this is a person shows up just ready to fight.

Like he had a bad day and he's ready to fight you at this like pickup basketball game.

Like loser big loser energy what are you a loser totally it's you're the king of 24 hour fitness mazel

like they're not gonna give you a free membership over it no big loser energy yeah b l a big loser energy oh well you got the mvp from planet fitness mazel loser loser loser loser

Next one is from Anonymous.

Hi, good guys.

I love you both.

I need some advice.

My boyfriend and I have very different senses of time.

I'll elaborate.

If we have an eight o'clock dinner reservation, he's told himself in his mind it's 8:15 because there's always a 15-minute grace period, which, like, first of all, it's not how grace periods work.

It should be like an as-needed type of thing.

And you can't go through life relying on there being like a 15-minute buffer of time.

And what's extra annoying annoying is there's never been any like repercussions to us being late someplace.

Like we've never gotten our table given away or whatever.

So every time I say something to him, he's like, it's not a big deal.

We're always fine, which is true, but it causes me some anxiety as we're rushing out the door and sitting in the car because what if there's traffic?

What if we can't find parking?

It's just unnecessary stress.

So am I nuts here?

Am I in the wrong?

Like feel free to roast me, but I don't know if this is a guy thing or a me thing or a him thing.

I don't know.

Give me some advice.

Thanks.

Love you both.

Love you.

You're both a little nuts.

You're more nuts than him for sure.

And it's definitely a guy thing.

But if he, if you get anxiety around this, then he should recognize that and he should just be on time for you, if it's really a problem for you.

That said, being 10, I don't know anybody who's actually had their table given away.

Unless you show up a half hour late, if you're 15 minutes late, like, especially to like a local local joint, if you're going, if you got a special reservation, be on time.

It's hard.

It's very hard to get the res.

Be on time.

But if you're going out back, I think you can show up 15 minutes late and not be so stressed.

But you really think, I think it's infuriating when people are regularly late.

And I do think you should show up on time, like a few minutes, like really on time is a few minutes early.

So these are different conversations.

I completely agree with you when I'm meeting someone.

If I'm meeting you at eight, I'm seeing you at eight.

But if you're leaving the house with Paige and it's, that's what, like, it's a reservation that just for the two of you, you're not making somebody else late.

You're late together, you know?

Sure.

I just think it's all, I think one, like how you do one thing is how you do everything.

And I think it all tends to kind of coalesce, but.

Yeah, I agree.

I just think in general, the anxiety that it invokes, but the problem is the late person, it will win.

So if you're the one on time, like you will have to figure out a way to let go because they're not, they're not gonna change for you.

No, if somebody I've had this before, like Claudia and I have gone out with a couple a couple of times.

First time they were 15 minutes late, second time, they were 30 minutes late, third time, we'll never see them again.

That's wild, 30 minutes late, yeah, we'll never see them again, and there's always a great excuse, and it's just like and what part of Israel are they from?

Literally, just like regular folk that are always late and what's the excuse give me the excuse

okay i'm i need to try to mask it so i'm gonna try and think of a a story because my i was at i was at drinks with my father and he started throwing up i was at drinks with my father before this and he started throwing up but that can't happen three times like you can't have three of those Who has drinks with their father and he's throwing up before dinner?

Okay, you got me you got me

it's eight o'clock dinner you go to happy hour with rick and he's getting smashed and puking like no this isn't a thing it's impossible that this is a thing like the city's tough you get into a lot of traffic you're either gonna be early or late I definitely at one point in my life was the person that would be 10 minutes late.

I'm now the person that'll be five minutes early to a dinner.

Claudia would laugh at me for saying that.

It's really her dragging me out the door, but we're always on time.

Yes, I hate it.

I hate waiting for someone.

Not nice.

It's essential.

And I,

you know, the excuses have become more and more elaborate.

And it's like, you know, you're being lied to your face.

A thousand percent.

And

there's really not a good,

like, you know, you get, you get a forced majeure once or twice a year.

You know, you get an act of God, something happened, completely out of your control.

You, you know, flat tire, got pulled over, whatever.

Okay.

But like anything outside of that, no one.

You got 15.

Don't you be later than 15.

15 is also bad.

It's not when you're sitting, it's no good, especially these restaurants that won't seat you unless you're a full party.

Can we stop with this?

Can we stop with this practice?

It's nuts.

It doesn't, the table's right there.

Let me sit.

Actually, this is an enormous whatey of nuts.

It wasn't going to be my whatey in nuts.

Are we at whate-ya nuts yet or no?

Sure.

Okay, are we?

Because otherwise I'll do two.

How long are we, Olivia?

40 minutes.

We'll move it.

Okay, look, Mike.

This moves me.

This pushes me perfectly into my what are nuts.

Okay, we're on our way to a doctor's appointment.

BH, it was a great doctor's appointment.

BH.

And on our way to the doctor, we decide that we're going to go to a diner.

Go to this diner.

I drop Claudia in front.

I go to park.

It's, again, two o'clock in the afternoon.

It's a New York City diner.

There are plenty of tables.

I go around the block to park.

Claudia goes in.

She calls me.

She's like, they won't seat me until you're here.

You won't seat a pregnant woman at a diner without a full party?

What are you nuts?

Are you out of your goddamn mind?

Sit this woman at a table for six.

Like, there's nobody there.

What is this practice?

What is this?

And then, Josh, and then the nerve of this freaking place.

First of all, the most expensive diner I've ever been to.

I couldn't believe it.

My jaw dropped.

I'll tell you the price after.

I put in my card, I signed for it, and I go to myself, I'm like, how in the world did we just spend $160?

And I turned and I said to the waiter afterwards, I'm like, I'm so sorry that I signed that.

It was like a, it was like one of those digital things.

I wasn't even thinking.

I just put in my card and I signed.

And I'm like, you know what?

I don't really know how we got to 160.

Do you mind?

Do you mind just checking?

It was somebody else's bill that I paid.

They voided it, but still came back.

It was still $115.

Josh, we got an omelette.

We got a chicken sandwich.

We got a scoop of ice cream and we got two sodas.

$115?

That's insane.

How can that be?

It's a double what are you nuts.

First, you don't sit the pregnant woman.

Then you overcharge me.

Sick.

I don't know.

I'll never go again.

I'll never go again.

Upper East Side Diner?

Yeah, but like we go to Upper East Side Diners all the time.

This one is significantly the highest I've ever paid and I was uncomfortable.

The highest I've ever paid was 80 and that made me uncomfortable.

It's a wild price.

What?

$115 for two people for lunch at a diner at a regular diner.

It's well, it's not like when I buy my favorite donut place, which I will gatekeep in LA, it's so good and they're handmade and they're amazing, but it's not like a fancy schmancy sidecar donuts like place.

There's no signage.

It's like a really old school bare-bones donut shop.

They just make great ones.

A dozen donuts costs me almost 40 bucks.

That, I don't know why.

I just always feel like it's too much.

It is, because it costs them 20 cents to make.

But it's 12 of $3 donuts or whatever.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, but you need to give a deal on 12.

Yes, a Baker's Dozen.

Is that what they're doing?

I think $12 for $30.

Baker's dozen is $13.

$12 for $30 is the right price.

Yes.

And while you're doing it, give it to me $12 for $29.

While you're doing it, give me one while I'm in line because I'm going to house that thing before I ever spend my money here.

Would you feel better, Josh, if they did give you a True Baker's dozen and it was 40 for 13?

40 for 13?

Yeah, I feel better.

More is more.

More,

you feel a little bit better.

You know, it would be a brilliant business idea.

You know,

you know, it would be a brilliant business idea.

Tell me.

Hors d'oeuvres in line.

They should have a sample person in all lines.

Love it.

I love it.

Can you imagine you're on a three-hour wait for Space Mountain at Disney World?

You just got told that your show on Disney Plus was canceled.

Oh, wait, that was just me that really happened.

And somebody's coming around with little mini Mickey ear pancake bites.

You don't care.

Josh, this is such a good idea.

It extends past even what you're thinking.

There is is no more captive audience than a person waiting in line with nothing to do.

Yep.

Imagine that is the perfect person.

You're looking to proselytize, proselytize, proselytize.

You're looking Jeremiah.

You're looking to go in there.

Find a line.

Find the people waiting online at Crumble.

You'll be able to convert at least six people.

This is a captive audience.

Nobody is thinking this way.

Could you imagine doing blood donation while you're on the line for Big Thunder Mountain?

Unbelievable.

sir can i see your veins you know would you like 15 and an oatmeal cookie put your arm out do you have 30 seconds for me to talk about the benefits of ozempic i happen to have a shot right here

bro have you heard about the new the new new glp1 agonist coming out easily it's in step two trials and it's looking good really retrotrutide retrotrutide retrotrutide whoever does the names kills it yeah retrotruth tide should be what it's called.

Retratruthtide.

Because it's the truth.

It's already available on like the peptide, on the peptide sort of gray web, but it'll soon be.

They're thinking it's going to be rolled out end of 2025, early 2026.

It'll be nice knowing you at 165 pounds bed.

And this is like the, this is the new gold standard.

This is the new Wagovi, the new Zeppbound, the new Munjaro, emphasis on the moon.

Semaglutide, they said, was a single agonist, while Terzepatide and Munjaro, a double agonist.

Retrotrutide, it's tripping.

Oh my God.

Simintoba, mazotopa, masotuba, cementova, cimentoba, masotaba, masotuba, termintova.

We're gonna be skinny for summer.

We can finally go down to the weight of our ancestors in the camps.

Oh, my God.

This episode has been great.

I didn't do my what are you nuts.

Well, they already kicked me out of the studio.

Okay, okay, my what are you nuts really quick is when you go to buy a car, because this is a car episode, and they go, and you say, I would like my lease payment to be lower.

And they go, no problem, you'll just have to put more down and I can lower the lease payment.

You think?

I know.

What are you nuts?

I want to pay less money.

I want to give you more upfront so I can pay less later.

No, no.

They tried to screw you.

They tried to play with your brain.

But quickly, what is the appropriate amount to put down on a car?

Ideally, nothing.

Why should they hold your money?

God, you're a genius.

Yeah.

Why should they hold your money?

You could be making just on that.

Yeah, so you'd prefer to pay a little bit higher on the lease payment.

Whatever.

In a perfect world, you pay tax, title, fees, registration.

So like on a $900 a month lease, you're paying like $2,200 out the door.

Great.

I will use that knowledge when I go get my new souped up Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I'll be honest, you should use an auto broker.

I can put you in, they make money on the other side, so you don't even pay for it.

They'll deliver you the car.

God, I'm in.

What have you done?

Send it to me.

Send it to me.

And this isn't fancy, schmancy behind the scenes VIP stuff.

You too can get an auto broker and not pay them.

And when you go get that new car, you got to use Insurify, Josh, to make sure that you get the best rate for your insurance.

You're talking shopping cars?

We're also shopping insurance, baby.

We're shopping non-stop.

Shop till you drop.
