And Vital Proteins has a new RTD.

30 grams of protein, folks.

So much collagen.

Let's do it.

So much collagen.

Listen, how about we do a live taste test, right?

We should, honesty.

If you know me, I don't lie.

They call me Josh.

The honesty here.

Let's

go.

I'm a walking polygraph.

That's delicious.

Lachaim.

That's delicious.

Cheers.

That's delicious.

Lachaim.

This is chocolate milk with collagen and protein.

And oh, no sugar.

Wow.

30 grams of protein.

I'm looking at this crowd, and I'm sorry to say not everyone's hitting their protein minimum.

I know it.

I can see right through you.

30 grams right here, like it was nothing.

Wow.

And do you see this fan?

You try this.

You try this.

I feel like I'm on drag race.

You try this.

This is amazing.

Do you know what my drag name would be?

What would it be?

Delta variant.

Hold on.

Yes.

Wow.

Very good.

Good queen, sir.

Yes.

Ice queen.

Please meme that immediately.

Sir, turn off your camera.

Okay, turn it on.

Yeah.

All right.

By the way, give that away.

Throw it.

Oh, should we give this away?

Yeah.

All right, here.

Throw it.

Come on, sir.

This is it.

This is like air conditioning here.

Woo!

Very nice.

Did you know, I was once on an episode of, um, what's the one where you have to know how to sing the, um, what's that show?

The Mass Singer?

No, where you lip

lip sync battle?

Yes.

With what's his name?

LL Cool J and Chris.

You were on that show?

I was on that show.

I did incredible.

Wow.

And what has sort of...

Is that don't forget the lyrics are that's different?

That was a great show right after Family Feud.

Lip sync battle, right?

Okay, I don't know.

Maybe.

All I remember is that we had these big inflatable beach balls on the stage.

Yes.

And L.O.

Cool J tried to like love, couldn't be nicer.

Yes.

Uncle L.

The best.

Sure.

Uncle L.

He tried to.

Is he Uncle L?

Like me and Chris DeStefano are friends?

Totally.

Okay, cool.

Just checking.

No, he would not know me in his crowd.

But he's Uncle L.

Never.

He would actively ignore me.

If you saw him, you'd go

unk.

Yeah.

You would.

Unk.

Okay, cool.

Unkh.

Yeah.

And he'd be like, who are you?

No.

He'd be like, get this guy out of here.

But we had these inflatable beach balls on the stage for a theme.

Yeah.

And he wanted to give them to the crowd.

Fun.

When I tell you, this guy dropped, kicked this into the audience like it was like the championship of a kickball tournament.

Wow.

Did it pop?

I'm pretty sure it definitely hit someone in their upper.

torso.

Well, we'll do that at the end.

If you stick around for the whole episode, we're going to pelt these at you, okay?

You're going to run away.

I'm going to be chucking it.

And if I hit you in the back of the head, that's your prize.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Well, Josh, you flew in last night right how was your flight it was lovely it's my first time being away i have a seven week old little baby yes one of three babies meyer mire meyer thank you thank you and ben has a beautiful three month old ruby yes thank you yes god bless yes they didn't clap for me but yes thank you no listen yeah that's right

our wives are so lucky that we have infants and we're here you know yeah how lucky are they i know

i said hun i want to be here with the baby yes but vital proteins called and they said, we have a new RTD with 30 grams of protein and a fuck ton of collagen and we need you to shill it.

I said, listen, do you like hair, nail, and skin benefits?

Yeah.

Collagen, huh?

I do.

I love it.

Collagen.

Do you see our hair?

Do you see our nails?

Do you see our skin?

Do I dye my hair?

A little on the sides.

Yeah.

I know you didn't ask.

Thank you.

Shadow.

I feel seen.

I would say that it has a little to do with genetics, but a lot to do with collagen.

Right.

Collagen all day.

I'm collagen forward.

Me too.

Me too.

A collagen adjacent.

So you said your flight was fine.

That can't be true.

Flights are always terrible.

Something must have happened.

I'll tell you exactly what happened.

I'm not going to mention the airline because I hope to work with them one day.

Jet Blue.

I will say.

We hope next year that this podcast is sponsored by, you know,

Jet Blue.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

Basically, Basically, right as we took off, the entire top panel above us fell.

It's unbelievable.

Yeah.

You know what it is, Josh?

They took the planes that they first made in the 1960s, renovated the inside, and thought that we wouldn't know.

When I go to the bathroom and I see no smoking, I know.

I know it's an old plane.

Yeah.

Because people used to smoke on planes.

But if it says no smoking, That means, Josh, that people were once smoking in that plane because they have a little ashtray.

If you have an ashtray, you're on an ancient plane.

Yes.

Okay?

Why can't we vape on planes?

Thank you for teeing me up.

I wanted to ask, because when you think tennis, you think vaping.

For sure.

Why isn't there a vape section of Spirit Airlines?

Why can't you vape everywhere?

What's wrong with it?

Why can't you vape on the airlines?

I'm pro-vape.

It doesn't smell like anything.

You should be able to.

Can you smoke here?

We're outside.

Can somebody pass me my Marlboro lights?

Can we light up a cigarette in between having our vital proteins, 30 grams of collagen?

I'm sure they're going to love that.

I think collagen counteracts the effects of smoking, right?

I've heard that.

I'm pretty sure that's not true.

It's okay.

We can't say not true claims.

It's us.

That's all what podcasts are.

Check.

Unsubstantiated claims.

Is there an app that substantiates claims made on podcasts?

Encyclopedia.

There should be.

Yeah.

There should be like an AI bot.

Is this true?

No.

Right.

You like it, right?

Keep it to yourself, Theo Vaughn, or whomever.

Or Ben Soffer.

You like it, though.

You like it.

So, okay.

The whole top came down on the plane.

The whole top came down.

But what was redeeming was they did an ice cream Sunday bar.

Okay.

Can you imagine

on the plane?

They brought you vanilla on the screen and cleared it out.

Thank you, God.

We love you.

If you leave.

I'm not saying

this is.

We have 31 minutes left.

There's some audio.

I would leave too.

Josh.

It's okay.

It's audio and video.

Nobody left.

There's at least 10,000 people watching us.

They'll never know.

Oh, right.

Yes.

The swarm of people is unbelievable.

The masses.

This is incredible.

I don't believe it.

So many people.

Yeah, so the ceiling fell.

Yes.

They made you ice cream.

They did an ice cream Sunday bar with hot fudge.

Amazing.

Butterscotch.

Let me ask you what.

Okay, so they presented to me.

Yes.

Hot fudge, butterscotch, a raspberry remalade.

Delish.

Okay, and then whipped cream nuts.

Yes.

What's your topic?

I personally love a raspberry remalade.

I'm all in.

I'm all in.

I like the fruity flavors.

Claudia always makes fun of me.

I go into an ice cream store.

I'm immediately asking to try their raspberry soft serve.

She's like, what are you, nut?

I think it's delicious.

Yeah.

Delicious.

That's my thing.

But you can't, I don't really like the mixture of raspberry and chocolate.

I would just go raspberry.

You definitely avoided the raspberry and went for everything else, right?

I went butterscotch, sure.

Because I like to feel like I'm 90.

It's too indulgent to the butterscotch.

Is it?

It's too, it's viscosity.

It's through the roof.

It's so thick.

Here's the hard questions that no one's willing to ask.

What is butterscotch?

I don't want to know.

Me either.

I don't want to know.

Definitely sugar.

Definitely sugar, which you will not find in here.

Okay.

No sugar in here.

You won't find that in here.

Not even close.

No sugar.

Yeah, it's definitely sugar.

I'd assume some coloring.

I wonder where that caramel color comes from.

Maybe tar,

right?

Like something that they were not going to want to know.

know let me tell you this it's delicious I don't know if these are gonna be next you know what the ball there should be a vital proteins drink boy yes or girl yes and just you know whenever like Naomi Osaka is like I'm parched and hungry

and hungry

of collagen it's fantastic and protein 30 grams of protein that's good you're Mr.

Macro did you go to the gym this morning of course I did you kidding me you did fantastic

fantastic what'd you do?

I did 30 chests of cardio and I did 15 minutes of arms.

Light hotel workout.

How much creatine did we take this morning?

I'm not like you.

You know what?

I do a little bit of,

I'm not in a full-time thing.

I'm like in a,

how would you call it?

Like,

me and creatine, we just hang out.

We're not in a relationship.

We're dating.

But I call creatine at 10 o'clock at night.

You up?

Yeah.

And then I'll, you know, take a creative.

At night?

You know?

That's crazy.

How much creatine did you take?

10 milligrams a day.

By the way, vital proteins.

Throw some creatine in here.

That would be sick.

Right?

That would be sick.

Yeah, five milligrams.

It's good.

I haven't worked out.

Actually, no, that's not true.

I worked out four days ago.

We did a Soto method, me and Claudia.

My legs were shot for three days.

I'm in that rebuild phase where I need to do it more so that I feel less pain.

But right now I'm in the pain phase.

Pain phase.

Tell me, since we're at the U.S.

Open,

what is your history with tennis?

Have you played?

Do you play?

I love, I, professionally, of course.

No, I dabble in racket sports, really enjoy it.

It's definitely exhausting.

Like, if you've played singles tennis, it's exhausting.

Exhausting.

Doubles is more my speed.

We've been to the U.S.

Open like probably 10 times.

This is like a New York staple.

Like we're, we're at the mecca.

They say it's, they say it's Madison Square Garden.

It's Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Like this is the storied history.

It's fantastic.

We love it.

And there's nothing better than great tennis.

Great tennis.

There's so much action.

We love it.

So you've been 10 times.

We've been 10 times.

And let me tell you, you guys are here at the right time, okay?

12 o'clock.

She's not here.

I'm sorry.

He's my wife.

Her name is actually Claudia, in case that's confusing.

The great Claudia Oshri, the toast.

Shout out.

Shout out to her.

Shout out to Peace, Mom.

Shout out to Claudia's mom.

You're here.

And we have the lovely Zach here.

We do have the lovely Zach here as well.

He's here.

He's here.

You guys are here at the right time.

12.20 on a Tuesday.

It's not so hot.

It's actually quite lovely.

Lovely.

Beautiful breeze.

Let me tell you, if you catch the U.S.

Open, 7 p.m.

in there, it's like 109.

Really?

You feel the sweat dripping straight into your crack.

It is so unbelievably hot.

Unbelievably hot that it's a woody nuts.

It's so funny you say that because I was observing in the beautiful vital protein suite, which what a spread.

Funny of all.

you want to talk about a sponsor fantastic the first ever collagen sponsor of the u.s open mix doubles i'm not saying that right but you get the gist yeah we got it okay this this suite i noticed there were people dressed like us in athleisure yes then there were some people in some wool chanel suits by the way it's nice to finally see you dressing like me this is what i wear on every podcast i'm always ready for a game of tennis It's August in New York.

I thought it was going to be 110.

If you give it a couple of hours, it will will be.

The mornings, they're fantastic.

This also is just a perfect day.

Perfect day.

But what is the fashion for the U.S.

Open?

Is it like Wimbledon?

What's it giving?

Yeah, no, it gets fashionable, especially later at night.

The later we go in the U.S.

Open when it's really meaningful matches.

People show up.

Oh, yeah.

People will show up.

But he'll always catch me in this.

Always ready.

It's so funny.

I'm like that guy who brings his mitt to the baseball game.

What am I expecting to go on the field?

What am I expecting?

They're going to call me.

Naomi Osaka goes down with a knee injury.

God forbid.

God forbid.

God forbid.

And they slot me in.

Like, why am I dressed like this?

Just in case I want to play?

I want to be there with the guys.

I want to be there with Tiafo or Al Caraz.

Just not in a coaching capacity, but in a hype man capacity.

Did you know Tiafo and Al Caraz before we booked this?

Yes.

Or did you do your research?

I want to know.

What's your real level of tennis fandom?

These are, I will say, top 10 players in the world.

They are.

So I do know them.

Okay.

Yes.

Okay.

I feel like I try to be well-rounded about most things.

Yes.

But if you go into like the details of the sport of tennis, I know a little less.

Yes.

We had the great fortune of seeing Tiafo live last year.

This man.

Oof.

He's a specimen.

He's alpha.

Fantastic.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Is he high T?

Like

a lot of tough stuff.

The physical,

the thighs on these guys.

Unbelievable.

We're not going to objectify women.

The thighs on these guys.

Yes.

Through the roof.

Yes.

Gorgeous.

I like the tennis physique.

Yes.

Because you have these pillars that they stand on, right?

You got three trunks.

They're gorgeous trunks and then slender uppers.

Yes.

Right?

It's like they're probably wearing size 38 pants and a 40 jacket.

Yes, exactly.

Wow, that's a visual.

We call them the pyramids.

Did you know growing up, I played tennis.

Really?

At 300 pounds.

Did you?

As a 12-year-old overweight boy, I went to a little something called the Randy Manny tennis camp.

You know,

that is...

I'm trying to picture it.

The problem is, is that I would get into it and they'd be like, wow, for, you know, a very overweight tween, he's got quite the forehand.

I said, thank you, Randy.

Of course, seven minutes in, I would be so winded that I would have to lay down on the court and they would put my feet up.

I would look like, this is how overweight and me playing tennis, this is where you'd find me on the court like this.

Just getting the blood back to your head.

Yeah.

I was in a trauma, a trauma position.

Yes, yes.

Because I needed to catch one of the...

The court is always hot.

The sport is played outside.

It's tough for an overweight team.

It's tough out there.

Yes.

It's tough.

But yeah, okay, good forehand.

I also had a good forehand, okay?

It's the backhand that's tough for me.

It's hard.

It's hard.

Are you a two-hand backhand or a one-hand?

One-hand.

Lazy.

Lazy.

There's no reason to do one-hand.

I think that that's like the problem.

I would always go one hand.

I think I could just whack it and whack it.

But no, you need the two.

Yes.

Did that look coordinated?

Everything you do is coordinated.

Yeah.

The better I get at golf, the better I get at tennis.

And I found that they're the same.

You use your core to get into it the same way that you would hitting a golf ball.

Isn't that interesting?

I just want to be, you know what I want, what I really dream about?

Not playing in the U.S.

Open, not being out there on the main stage.

I want to be the loved one of someone who wins.

Yes.

Like when Coco golfed one years ago and she goes into the stand, she hugs her gorgeous family.

That should be me.

It should.

Okay, so how do we get Paige?

Paige looks like a professional tennis player.

Yes.

Honestly, she does.

So how do we get her into the game?

Okay, wait, let's act it out.

Let's get it prop.

Okay, I'll go first.

Okay.

I'm going to be

the loved one, coach, husband, partner, life partner of someone who just won the U.S.

Open.

And this is match point.

Okay.

How hot is that?

Okay,

servings.

I'm serving, right?

I'm serving.

I'm on serve.

And you're the win.

You got an ace.

For the win.

Okay.

Okay, ready?

Ace!

Woo!

I won!

Yes!

I won!

Come on, I'm on top of the world!

Okay, okay.

I'm on top of the world.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes!

Okay, now your turn.

Okay, now I'm the one.

Now you be the love one.

It'll look like what we're going to do.

Okay,

do the ace.

Ready?

Hold on.

Let me do my ready since.

I'm going going to do a couple points.

So, a couple rounds.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

And I'll tell you what I

on my third hit.

Okay.

It's going to be four hands.

Okay.

This is for the win.

And I win with a backhand cross.

Okay.

Okay.

That was fun.

Who doesn't love an act out?

I love it.

I love it.

I'm sure the listeners will hate it.

And I was, they're like, what are they doing?

I was picturing you were the father I never met.

Yeah.

That would be fun.

But I want to go back to getting Paige into tennis.

Does she play?

She plays, and you know, my sister-in-law, Taylor, is a big tennis player.

She played this morning at 7 a.m.

These are tall, blonde women.

They were born for this sport.

Lanky, okay?

Lanky.

Gazelle-like.

Yeah, she'd be great.

I feel like she'd have a great forehand, great backhand.

What else do you do besides forehand?

Slices.

Volleys.

Volleys.

Sometimes between the legs.

Oh, that's a cool move.

That's a cool move.

Let's take a guess.

I'm going to say that that is a jet blue flight coming in from Milwaukee.

I hope so.

I hope so.

You know what?

When they said the U.S.

Open, I said, you had me at Queens.

Yeah, Queens is great.

I love Queens.

Is Queens an underrated borough?

No.

No.

Thank you.

Shout out.

No, it's not.

It's a great borough.

It's not an underrated borough, though.

Okay.

It's a great borough.

I think people love Queens.

We have Arthur Ashe Nader.

We have the borough.

We have the City Field.

Sure.

No, no.

For this crowd, we got to go Queens one, obviously.

Queens one and Queens.

Yes.

But then we'll do it for real later, okay?

No.

Arthur Ashe, we have City Field.

We have Parkside.

We love Parkside.

Josh and I go to Parkside for fun, even when we're not in Queens.

Corona Ices.

Remember when we went to Corona Ices and the guy gave us a free ice and that made me give a $20 tip?

That sucked.

Do you understand how inconvenient it is to be given a free $5 ices?

It's not a choice.

Because then we have this choice, but to give a $20 tip, I would have preferred to pay $5 for the ices.

100%.

These are some of the trials and tribulations, being celebrities.

Do you remember the other controversy after we got said free ice?

Yes.

What?

What?

Wait, I don't remember.

You ridiculed me.

What did I ridicule you?

Because I picked grape.

That's a terrible flavor.

I totally forgot.

Raise your hand if you think grape is a terrible flavor for ices.

You.

Raise your hand if you think peach is a delicious flavor for ices.

Okay, people like grape.

You got a couple ringers in here.

People like grape.

Who knew?

My own proteins.

You got to come out with a grape smoothie collagen.

30 grams of protein, no added sugar, ton of collagen.

mixed doubles, okay?

You're mixing things up.

Did you know that the U.S.

Open, there's a $1 million prize.

For mixed doubles.

For mixed dubs.

Crazy.

I love that.

That's great.

Let's shorten it to M-dub.

By the way, why can't we participate?

What do you need to do to participate?

Can't we participate?

We're doubles.

We're mixed.

Yeah.

Right?

Yes.

What qualifies mixed double?

I guess it's men's and women.

Okay.

Yeah.

We were joking before.

We were looking at at the wall.

There's Pete Samperson Billie Jean King.

And when I put on my glasses, I look a little bit like Billie Jean King, don't I?

A little bit.

Right?

Queen.

They don't agree.

Yeah.

They don't agree.

Love it.

Who cares?

I love Billie Jean.

Did you see the movie?

The one with Emma Stone?

I don't know.

Yes.

She played Billie Jean King.

She was great.

God, is she a great actor?

Emma Stone?

The crash.

She's fantastic.

And then, wait, there was another one recently with Shia LaBeouf played John McEnroe.

You mean Shia LaBoofstein?

Yeah, Shia LaBeoufstein.

Shia LaBuffstein.

God bless him.

Shia the Beef.

Shia the Beef.

Would you know that my mom has a really,

really deep crush on Rafa Nidal, so much so it makes me uncomfortable?

That should make you uncomfortable because you don't look that different.

The more I see you in this environment, You look like a European tennis player.

You look like you don't speak a lick of English.

And you're going to come here and you're probably ranked like 84 and you're going to make it far.

You're going to make it far.

Under some flag that has a little bit of red in it, you're going to make it far.

I'm better as a foreign tennis player.

That's what you look like right now.

Then I am as some American schlock podcaster.

No, you look like a foreign tennis player and I look like your Jewish agent.

That's what it is.

I'm here.

We're going to get you a deal.

Did you just close Cadillac?

Yes, of course.

Yes.

The number one sponsor of this random country's random athlete.

You know what?

It's cool, though, is because, like, obviously, basketball, baseball, American sports, amazing, right?

They get killer contracts.

Sure.

But when you have these European things like tennis, you know, even F1,

they get those, they get

the watch.

Yes, they do.

They get that hot watch.

You see Sabalenka in a Rolex?

They do.

They do get those.

It's golf and tennis.

They get those high-end deals.

So Rocketlow.

Fantastic.

That's a Patek deal.

That's class.

Pay me in Patek Philippes.

Okay?

That's what I want.

Pay me in Patech.

We get TJ Maxx.

Yes, we do.

We do.

I'm fine with it.

Tag Hewer.

Is that what it's called?

Sure.

We get paid in tags.

We're citizens.

We are.

We are.

We're citizens.

We are.

What's the Casio?

We get paid in Casios.

Fine.

We should be getting paid in Patex.

We just did a G-Shock campaign.

Yes.

All right.

So you're at the U.S.

Open.

You're here.

Honey deuces, Josh.

We got to talk about the honey deuce.

Yeah, I know.

How many honey deuces have we had thus far today?

Two.

Who would fail a breathalyzer?

She would shout out.

I'm guessing 0.09.

Josh, they're holding honey deuces.

B.A.C.

They're on their 14th.

Good for them.

14th?

14th.

Ma'am, can you go like this right now?

Very good.

She's fine.

I'll let you drive my car.

I won't be in it, but I'll let you drive it and and then report it as stolen and claim the insurance money.

What is the honey deuce?

Okay, the honey juice is first and foremost the most delicious cocktail in the whole world.

Okay.

Honeydew belongs in alcohol.

I didn't know it.

They make these melon balls.

Okay, they're delicious.

It's some kind of like a, I don't know if it's like a raspberry liqueur, but it's some type of fruity liqueur with just like some soda.

It's fantastic.

So good.

We read the stats a couple weeks ago.

Do you know that last year the U.S.

Open did $13 million in just honey and deuce sales?

Unbelievable.

From us.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

And that's because it tastes so delicious.

No other sport has a drink.

No, no, none.

No.

None.

None.

None.

They made it.

I think it was originally a brand.

I could be wrong.

I feel like it was like an American Express or something.

Somebody made the honey deuce.

Is that right?

Who was it?

Grego's.

Gregos.

She's right.

Greygoose.

Wow.

Grey goose.

Unbelievable.

American Express.

Why?

What is a credit card company?

Not an alcohol company.

Grey goose.

Obviously.

Thank you for the assist.

Okay.

Please, let's start.

Let's try to figure out drinks for other major sports events.

All right.

Okay.

So like maybe the Masters Margarita.

Love it.

I'm in.

That's fun.

Yeah, a little Casamingo Splanco.

Maybe we throw in some Tahin.

Tahin, Tagin, Tachim.

Maybe it's a little spicy, right?

Or maybe it's a Peach Marg because it's in Atlanta.

Oh, my God.

And hot Josh.

Wow, that sounds fantastic.

What's better than a Georgia peach?

Would you say that I'm your little Georgia peach?

I would say so.

Not so little.

Not so hard.

Medium.

Excuse me.

You're a medium.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Yeah, because

you want a hearty peach.

You do.

Succulent.

You want a peach to feel like a nice caboose.

I'm just thinking about it for the first time.

When you bite into a peach, you want it to be like you're biting into a fat, juicy touch.

What's more delicious, a fat, juicy tuchis or a vital protein?

30 grams of colleague.

My God.

I'd say vital proteins.

Here's the thing about vital proteins is it's in the name.

It's vital.

You know what I like about when, not just they're ready to make...

What's that RTD?

Ready to drink.

Ready to drink.

This is the man in the josh.

In the beverage space.

He knows Akron.

This is ready to drink.

Shake and enjoy.

Make sure it's cold.

But I've tasted their powders before.

You know what I love about them?

Tell me.

How smart this is?

Unflavored.

Genius.

No matter how good the flavor is of your supplement, it's not great.

No.

Unflavored, it takes.

Did you see me go to push up my glasses?

They're not there.

I do that often.

I really do.

I really do.

Yeah, no.

Unflavored is underrated.

Because it takes on the taste of the juice, of the thing, of the smoothie that it's in.

It's not conflicting.

It's just good.

You're not going to make a better tasting flavor than like a gatorade why don't you just throw it in a gatorade kind of genius right throw it in an orange juice throw it in your morning smoothie never thought about it yeah unflavored is the move vital proteins coming up with flavors vital proteins is it they understand it all right so after this what are we eating i wanted to go to well you tell me what are the main food staples here you mentioned you have to get the chicken nuggets with caviar Right.

I think that's where we go.

I think we beeline straight there.

Explain how it's put put together.

It's a box, right?

Chicken nuggets, caviar, creme frache, open it up, scoop and do it all.

Josh.

Wow.

This is it.

Simon Kimmett code, he thought of everything.

Fantastic.

$100, $200.

How much?

Something like that.

It's expensive.

It's expensive for sure, but money doesn't exist here.

Okay?

Money doesn't exist here.

It's like Disney World.

It's like Disney World for tennis.

Disney World for tennis.

I heard Alex Garnashelli has a restaurant here.

We got to check that out.

We love her.

This is an American Express event.

Listen, if you spend money, you're getting points.

Just charge it.

What have you guys eaten?

What's the best food here?

Anybody?

Best food?

No, I can't hear them.

Okay.

They're like honey deuces.

I see a moe over there.

What other food is here?

Chicken sandwich?

Steak.

Steak sandwich?

That sounds nice.

It sounds okay.

Get some ribeye on a ciabata.

I'm not a big steak sandwich guy.

I don't feel like it.

I feel like cheesesteak's different where it's really cut up with those thick chunks of beef.

Yes.

Right?

It's crazy.

It's hard to make a good steak sandwich at the U.S.

Open.

I think.

I feel like we're on the tarmac of JFK.

We are.

No, it's loud, but it's great.

I love it.

And the best part is you feel like you're on the tarmac, but you're not worried.

You're not worried.

Imagine a plane fucking crash right here.

Would that be our biggest episode yet?

Yeah, if we died?

we would be the most viewed.

We're like Picasso.

We would get millions of views after our death of this episode.

I think Picasso was pretty famous while alive.

Was he?

I don't think so.

I think very much.

I'm thinking Van Gogh.

I think none of the artists are really recognized until they're dead.

I'll fight you on this.

I think he was super famous.

I think so.

Yeah.

But I think when they die, obviously then it limits the person.

The value shoots up.

Van Gogh wasn't famous at all.

Interesting.

Van Gogh cut off his ear.

If you had to cut off an extremity, what would you cut off, Ben?

Oh, that's a really good question.

I actually did lose the tip of my thumb.

I thought it would bother me more than it does.

It doesn't.

It's fine.

Was it when you cut it when I was young?

And your father brought you vodka sauce?

Yes, yes, yes.

And Claudius was belling at me.

Finish my chicken before you go to the hospital.

That really happened.

Did she do it?

Yeah.

She didn't think it was a big deal.

Because it's like, what, like a little kitchen injury.

This, I sliced it off.

They had to carterize it.

If you've ever had anything carterized, this is the most painful thing of all time.

Right.

So painful.

And she didn't even tell me.

She's like, okay, one, two, three.

Ah!

Awful.

Wow.

Awful.

Awful.

But yeah, my dad did meet me and he did bring me penne a la vodka homemade with a fork.

I ate it when I got home.

It felt like in poor taste eating it at the hospital.

These other people are having jello.

I'm having penne a la vodka.

It would be in poor taste.

That's a gift.

He's a giver.

What are you going to bring?

A teddy bear?

Flowers?

You can't eat those things.

I need carbs.

Yes.

I need carbs.

To repair.

Yeah, fantastic.

And you probably need some collagen, right, to rebuild the skin.

So you should down some vital proteins.

You said that the tubes are unflavored.

You could put it in your penne ala vodka.

You'd never know.

Why don't you put it in food?

Can you imagine vital proteins and carbone to a collapse?

I love it.

I'm in.

They should put us on their marketing team.

These are fantastic ideas.

I think we're consultants.

These are fantastic ideas, Josh.

So tell me, once this ends, okay, now you tell me, I love this.

I was watching the Netflix series about tennis.

Something.

You know, they do a lot of these series.

I was just saying, which one?

I have no idea.

Who knows?

And it was when Sabalenko won a big, big thing.

Okay.

Really big.

Big, big time.

And my happiest moment was watching her and her coaches eat Domino's pizza apple.

Fantastic.

I said, well done.

You deserve that slice.

And there's nothing more relatable than when you see something like like that.

Like when Andy Reid wins the Super Bowl and he's so excited to go grab a burger.

That's how you become America's sweetheart.

You win and then you go and get fast food.

That's how you become America's sweetheart.

But what fast food?

For you, In-N-Out.

You win, you go to In-N-Out.

Me, honestly, we don't have great fast food in New York.

We have the classic Chains, the McDonald's, the Burger Kings, whatever.

Sure.

I guess like a Shake Shack?

Shake shack?

Shake shack.

Is that considered fast food?

Maybe you go to a White Castle.

White Castle sounds delicious.

Yeah, something.

Even though they really got to ditch the clams.

You'll ran.

They advertise that out to the Hamptons.

You'll see.

We now have clams.

Has anyone had a White Castle clam?

Why do you now have clams?

That's right.

And she's

like walking.

You like the clams at White Castle?

Shout out.

She said it's so subtle.

You're too risky.

You're like my mom.

My mom literally saw a sign that said there's listeria in this deli.

She's like, I'll take a turkey sandwich.

I'm like, why?

Why, mom?

They told you there's listeria in the meat.

She's like, I don't care.

I'm here.

I want turkey.

It's the same thing.

You see, clams are back at White Castle.

Run.

Run away.

They don't belong there.

God bless Seva.

Right?

When am I going to become listerical?

The turkey wasn't even close.

Josh, you have a what are you nuts?

By the way, our what are you nuts moment is the pinnacle of a classic good guys podcast episode.

Of course, what are you nuts is our gripes of people, places, and things.

You were waiting in line and the lady in front of you isn't wearing any shoes.

You're at the U.S.

Open and she's barefoot.

What are you nuts?

That's strange.

You have a what-a-you nuts moment, Josh?

My what-a-you-nuts moment of the week, inspired by the great U.S.

Open shout-out.

And I don't mean to be critical at all of my beloved U.S.

Open.

It's outdoors.

I know.

What are you nuts?

I know.

We have roofs.

I know.

Make the whole thing.

You know, you look at the court right now, half of it's in the shade.

Yes.

I say, and look, we all love the outdoors.

Yes, tennis traditionally, almost always outdoors.

Embrace air conditioning.

I agree.

Especially with Arthur Ashe.

Just cover it so that you never get those 112-degree days.

Yes.

That's it.

And if Casey, if a beautiful day like this, up retractable roof.

Okay?

Perfect.

Okay.

Like, come on.

My what are you nuts moment of the week, tennis inspired as well, is the ball boy.

Okay.

Growing up in New York, it was always a storied tradition.

If you can become a ball boy, what prestige?

What prestige?

Unpaid, you get yelled at, you're running around, you're standing in the heat, you're gonna get dinged by a tennis ball.

Being the ball boy is a what are you nuts?

I'm sorry, I'd rather be a patron.

What, do you think that you could qualify to be a ball boy?

Or they might have said, You're, sir, maybe you're not what we're looking for.

I think that right now,

at this current weight, I could be a ball boy.

At the age of being a ball boy, what is that?

15,

280?

No good.

No good.

I trip.

This is me as a ball boy.

Donkevic, will you get my legs?

I'm overheated.

I'm running out all of a sudden.

I puke on the court.

No good.

No good.

There should be a ball, bro.

And they just scream out and be like, hey, no back.

Hell yeah, bro.

Let's get it.

Oh, my God.

Oh, man.

You know what else is nuts, Josh?

Shout out to the U.S.

Open.

I want to say, growing up, I used to go to the Arthur Ashe Kids' Day.

I have a big brother from the Big Brother Foundation, the great Dan, who I love dearly, and his father of the great Jonah, who we love dearly.

He's fantastic.

And they support the Big Brothers Foundation, and we would come every year, have the greatest time.

It's so nice to be back here.
