Happy Shaqsgiving!

Speaker 1 The following podcast is a DR Media production.

Speaker 2 good guys.

Speaker 1 Mazamarans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I'm sorry if I look at my phone a few times.
We potentially might have a caller. So I will let you know.

Speaker 1 I will keep you updated throughout the episode. It probably won't work out.

Speaker 2 It will work out. That is so exciting.
I love a beautiful live call. And Josh, how was your Halloween? That's what I want to know.
What were you? Did you and Paige dress up?

Speaker 2 What did the kids dress up as? Did you have trick-or-treaters? Were you trick-or-treating? I need all the goods.

Speaker 1 My Halloween was gorgeous my oldest son max was a glow stick ninja because okay

Speaker 1 shy was elmo and meyer was a cow and it was just so gosh darn flippin cute i i always say this that halloween and christmas eve are the two greatest nights when having children and it's true it lives up to it every time

Speaker 2 I love Halloween so much, Josh, so much. I did make a large error.

Speaker 2 We have trick-or-treating in our building. And

Speaker 2 we have to convince.

Speaker 2 Yes, and we are quick to sign up. Claudia loves it.
And now with literally, they opened the door and it was just Ruby. He greeted all the trick-or-treaters in this like horse costume.

Speaker 2 It was super cute. But I forgot to buy candy until the last minute.
So Claude's like, can you run out and get candy? And I'm thinking to myself, the shelves are going to be barren.

Speaker 2 But I went to CVS and lo and behold, Josh, the shelves, I got last licks on candy. I was able to find some Butterfingers, some Hershey's.

Speaker 2 But then the only thing, the only thing they had a surplus of was double XL Shaq gummies.

Speaker 2 So literally, there's just these kids. They're like, what the hell is this? It's literally Shaquille O'Neal's face on peach gummies.
like these big gummies.

Speaker 2 So we had we had a lot of double XL shaq gummies. But God, Halloween is just so fun.

Speaker 2 Just so great.

Speaker 2 I love it. I love it.
Oh, and I cross-dressed again for the toast. I was, I don't even know who she is.
Summer I turned pretty. Her name is Belly.
I was Belly with

Speaker 2 Belle out.

Speaker 4 I didn't see it, but I'm familiar with the story. And so you were the one that is like trying to decide between the brothers, right?

Speaker 2 Your heart. I was the one trying to decide between the brothers and Claudia and her sister were the brothers.

Speaker 2 And yeah, I just like wore crop top and did what I did best: wear a wig and dress like a woman. So, what does that say about me, Josh? Every year, every year, Ina, Belly, Donna Kelsey.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what does it say about me, Josh?

Speaker 2 What doesn't it say?

Speaker 2 What doesn't it say is right?

Speaker 2 I, yeah,

Speaker 1 I, as feminine as I am, and the fact that I sound like,

Speaker 2 yeah, Ben. What does it say?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I, as feminine as I am, and as much as I sound like a 12-year-old with emphysema, like I've tried cross-dressing before, mostly getting paid for it, and not in that way.

Speaker 2 And I, I'm not,

Speaker 2 I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 I think that if I was a woman, that I would probably just wear like a lot of athleisure wear because I don't know.

Speaker 2 I just,

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah, Josh.
I got to be honest.

Speaker 1 There's like, how do you feel with long hair? Like, the long hair touches my neck.

Speaker 2 Horrible. Yeah.
It feels horrible.

Speaker 1 Confining. And hot.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So hot, Josh.
Hot, itchy. I feel terrible.
When I'm in it, I feel terrible, but it's just so damn funny. I think that's what it is.

Speaker 2 I just like the second I throw it on, I feel instantly funnier. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Instantly funnier because I don't, you don't, there's nothing better than when you don't have to say anything, but you're just funny.

Speaker 2 And that's, I think, what happens when I throw on a wig or I throw on a crop top, or I'm sure it's what Burt Kreischer feels like when he takes off his shirt.

Speaker 2 It's like, you like, the shtick, it's, it's, it's part shtick. But yeah, I love it.
My mom sent me, like, this was when I was really concerned. She sent me a photo.

Speaker 2 She's like, Ben, did you know that at 13, you also dressed as a woman for Halloween? I was like, mom, what does this mean? Solid. And she said, it just means that I'm in touch with my feelings.

Speaker 2 And that's it. That's it.
She said, don't look deeper into it. Don't ask anybody professional for help.

Speaker 2 You're not going to want to hear what they have to say.

Speaker 1 No, that's what your mother's therapist said.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was like, okay, mom. Thanks.

Speaker 1 What do I tell him, Doc?

Speaker 2 Say this.

Speaker 2 It's fine.

Speaker 2 What do I do? My son wants to dress like a woman every Halloween.

Speaker 1 Is he self-supporting?

Speaker 2 Yes, doctor.

Speaker 1 So you don't have so much to worry about.

Speaker 1 She's like, I also brought chopped liver to the Big Apple Circus.

Speaker 2 Thought?

Speaker 2 What a queen your mother is.

Speaker 2 I wish it was liver. I think it was lamb or lamb chops.
Oh, no, that was in the car. What a queen.
Unbelievable. What a queen.

Speaker 1 What an absolute.

Speaker 2 She's going to bring Ruby. Like, you know how much lamb Ruby's going to have? Like, three years old.
He's going to go to the circus eating lamb. Great.

Speaker 2 Good for him.

Speaker 1 I don't go to Ringling brothers because of the way they treat the elephants veal

Speaker 2 that is too good oh my god it needs to happen already it just needs to are you coming to new york anytime soon are we do do don't we potentially have an amazon thing we're doing Oh, we haven't even spoken about that, but yes.

Speaker 2 So are you coming in for that?

Speaker 1 I think so. I mean, as far as my manager just called me, so unless it's bad news, I think so.

Speaker 2 No, I don't know why I thought that it was fully remote, but yeah, I will be in the city. You will be here.
That will be wonderful. I hope so.
Yeah, I hope it works out.

Speaker 2 I don't, if you go in, yeah, okay, we'll figure it out. But yeah, like you should 100% come over.
My parents would love nothing more than to meet you.

Speaker 2 Love nothing more.

Speaker 2 That would be glorious.

Speaker 2 But yeah, wow. Our first deal together.
Oh, I guess we had Joe Malone, but the Amazon lives are fun. Oh,

Speaker 1 listen, we've had, we have had, first of all, it all started with the BBYO Rose and Shingles.

Speaker 2 The shingle. The shingles.
The shingles. Speaking to the day we got shingles.

Speaker 2 Yeah, about shingles.

Speaker 1 We should have come up with a shooting.

Speaker 1 We should have come up with a cool Star of David gang sign.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Totally.

Speaker 2 That's what's up. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 That's cool.

Speaker 2 That can make its way through the synagogues everywhere. A thousand percent.
Yeah. Wow.
Shingles, the rose and shingle. Got to go back.
I miss that place.

Speaker 1 The sooner the better.

Speaker 2 I'm thinking about going to it. I'm thinking about going to a NYX magic game in Orlando.

Speaker 2 We could hit the shingles before that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Want to come with me? You know, I've been to

Speaker 1 Orlando magic game.

Speaker 2 Oh, I do. And this was my way of secretly asking if you still have your courtside hookup because I would love to go.
I'm probably not famous enough, but I would love to go.

Speaker 1 I wasn't famous. I was doing something for the Chabad of Orlando.
Wow, this is our most Jewish-coded episode ever.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 1 I think you totally qualify, my boy.

Speaker 2 I didn't even know. Wait, you were doing something for the Chabad of Orlando? You didn't tell me that.
So they got you the tickets? Yes.

Speaker 1 And I did a big talk after. Yeah, it was like Chabad night for the Orlando Magic.

Speaker 1 We took up a small section.

Speaker 2 That's excellent. Wow.
How fun is that? It was amazing. It It was such a good experience.

Speaker 2 I love that. I love that.
I went to the Knick game last night. Who'd they play? Those Knickerbockers are looking good.
The Bulls. The Bulls.
The Bulls were 5-0. The Knicks won.

Speaker 2 I saw the great Andrew Schultz to my left. I saw Ben Siller.
It's always so star-studded, Josh. Really is.
So star-studded at the garden. And

Speaker 2 it was my first Knick game of the year. And there's just nothing like the garden.
We should go to a game when you're here. That's what we should do.
We'll do it again, like the last time.

Speaker 2 We don't have to.

Speaker 2 I get it. No, we don't have to.
I agree.

Speaker 1 I just, you know, I like being somewhere where you can hear each other. Like, and I also,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 1 you were so kind to get us those tickets from your hookup for the Knicks. And

Speaker 1 I was like, this is amazing. Wow.

Speaker 2 And then months later, I don't, I think you said something to the effect of like, I thought we'd get court side, but Josh couldn't pull.

Speaker 2 And you're like,

Speaker 2 oh, I thought rotan was pretty darn good. So now it's like, no, I'm

Speaker 2 such a Nick snob. It's like, so not right.
Those seats were amazing, and the game was amazing. I just like, somebody needs to like pull me aside and be like, Ben, like, shake me.

Speaker 2 Like, Ben, your entire life, you grew up going to games in the 300s, and now you're complaining about free tickets

Speaker 2 in the 100s section. Like, are you okay?

Speaker 2 Are you okay?

Speaker 2 It's mixed, give me any free seats. Like, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 But I don't want to, like, that's the thing, too. And maybe it's just because I'm, I don't know, I'm not really insecure in that way anymore, but I used to be.

Speaker 1 But, like, if I show up and like Stiller's row one and Schultz is row three or row two, and like, I'm going to start, like, comparing despair, comparing despair. Where's Joshi at?

Speaker 1 Why is Joshi not enough? And it's like, for what? For what? I could watch it from my house. I could DoorDash in Chinese food.

Speaker 2 I'm happy.

Speaker 2 And the truth is, it has nothing to do with Josh. It has everything to do with maybe like the PR person, like being friends with Schultz's PR person.
It's such an inside thing.

Speaker 2 There's like one person who does the booking. They have to like you.
If you do stuff at MSG, you get like preferential treatment. So I'm sure Schultz has done like a million shows.

Speaker 2 That said, his court said, Seats, Josh, I'm not going to lie. Not that great.
They buried him in the corner.

Speaker 2 Stiller dead center. Come on.
dead center now schultz was i mean he was wasn't even on baseline he was dead in the corner ouch that hurts just yeah you have to go over there

Speaker 2 yeah you don't need them no oh i was walking behind spike lee to get out of the like to get into the the lounge And my God, Josh, did he smell amazing?

Speaker 2 It's like he took a shower one minute before he got there. He smelled, I'm trying to think what he smelled like.

Speaker 1 I bet he layers.

Speaker 2 I bet he layers Joe Malone.

Speaker 2 He smelled like fantastic Joe Malone.

Speaker 1 That's what it was. It had to be the Joe.
I bet there was Bergamal.

Speaker 2 It had to be the Malone.

Speaker 1 Yes, I bet there was a ball. It was.

Speaker 2 So it's Bergamon.

Speaker 1 You know what cologne of Joe Malone, and they're not paying us, by the way, so I do not know why we're going at it this hard.

Speaker 2 No, they're not.

Speaker 1 I wear a cologne from Joe Malone called Scarlet Poppy, which is also my rap name.

Speaker 2 That's...

Speaker 2 I need to break out the Joe Malone. I don't have a scent, Joss, except B.O.
I can really use a scent.

Speaker 1 I'm sure they have something like, you know, bergamot and brisket. That could be your cologne.

Speaker 1 How nice would that be to smell like Paris and Passover?

Speaker 2 I need it.

Speaker 2 I need it.

Speaker 2 Oh, that'd be so good. It's like a nice pastrami rub.
Ooh, that would be good. It would be great.

Speaker 2 Oh, you know how like they have like those like rubs for the bath or for the for the shower that you like rub on your arm to get off the it like makes your skin soft yeah exfoliate a nice pastrami exfoliate thank you for digging into my brain and finding that very basic word you could have a pastrami rub exfoliator that would be good that would be like a joe malone old jewish men uh collab that would be the ultimate yeah so

Speaker 1 i love it

Speaker 2 This episode of the Good Guys Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Roe. Folks, you know, we love Roe here at the Good Guys Podcast.
You know that I love Roe because I love GLPs.

Speaker 2 The only thing that I love more than GLPs is getting GLPs covered by insurance. And that's what Roe is doing.
Roe created an insurance checker.

Speaker 2 You can go to row.co slash good and you can check to see if insurance will cover your GLPs.

Speaker 2 And let me tell you, if insurance will cover your GLPs, you absolutely must, of course, consult the doctor, blah, blah, blah. You must go on these GLPs.
Okay. They are life-changing.

Speaker 2 Of course, only if you need them. But obviously, it wouldn't be covered by insurance if you didn't need them.
Okay.

Speaker 2 If you need them and if they're covered by insurance, they are absolutely life-changing. I've lost now

Speaker 2 70 pounds collectively on GLP ones. And let me tell you, it's the only sustainable way that I've ever been able to lose weight in my life.
I've lost it over three years

Speaker 2 and it used to just be crash diet after crash diet, ketis season, you know, like we make fun, but like it's hard. Like you, as a lifelong fat person, you go on a diet.
you lose a bunch of weight.

Speaker 2 Eventually you realize it was too restrictive. You go off it.
The food noise is in in your brain. Okay.

Speaker 2 And then you gain all the weight back. And what GLPs have done for me is they have trained my brain to say, no, Ben, you actually don't need more food.
You're actually not hungry anymore.

Speaker 2 You don't need it. So go to row.co slash good to see if row will cover your GLPs, use their free insurance checker.
And if they will, I'm telling you, it is absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 2 At least for me, it completely changed my life and it could change your life. Again, that is row.co slash good to see if your insurance covers GLP-1s completely for free.

Speaker 2 Go to roe.co slash safety for boxed warning and full safety information about GLP-1 medications.

Speaker 1 Speaking of great Jewish food, I recently, and we talked about it in our great Ryan Sorhant interview, I went to the great Phil Rosenthal restaurant tour, his daughter Lily Rosenthal, and her husband, Mason, who's the executive chef, and Nancy Silverton, celebrity chef, who created the menu for a new diner in LA called Max and Helens.

Speaker 1 It's on Larchmont. It's opening in November.
We got to go to a friends and family tasting event.

Speaker 1 This place, Ben, this is so up our alley.

Speaker 2 It's an old school

Speaker 2 dinner. It's

Speaker 2 get me through it. The top hits.

Speaker 2 Eat it. We want to live vicariously through you.

Speaker 1 First of all, they had a Reuben sandwich. I mean, you had me at Reuben.

Speaker 1 I said, I know him. I know the guy who created the sandwich.
He's six months. You know him.

Speaker 2 He's so freaking cute.

Speaker 2 One day he's going to be like, who is I named after, daddy? Yeah. A sandwich sudden.
A sandwich. Enough said.

Speaker 2 Enough said.

Speaker 1 We had that.

Speaker 2 I love a Reuben.

Speaker 1 My boy Jordan Oaken from the Great Air Jordan podcast was there. He was like, try the waffle.

Speaker 1 This waffle, first of all, there was, it was a freshly made, beautiful, like a sourdough waffle, Belgian waffle, with maple butter on it.

Speaker 1 But, you know, like maple butter, I feel like can fall into that,

Speaker 1 it's the oil, a truffle oil type thing, right? Where it's just like, it can taste artificial. This was just a touch, just a hint of maple flavor in that butter.
Gorgeous.

Speaker 1 Then the beautiful syrup on it. So nice.
Then there was, okay, you ready for this? An iceberg wedge with homemade Russian dressing with horseradish in it.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 kidding me? Oh.

Speaker 1 There was, but all the hits, grilled cheese and tomato soup, I did an egg salad sandwich. Paige is vegan.
I think better the eggs.

Speaker 2 What's better? The egg salad there or at 7-Eleven?

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 1 you're setting me up.

Speaker 1 And you know my love for 7-Eleven. My son is having a 7-Eleven-themed birthday party in two weeks.

Speaker 2 Okay. This is so sick.

Speaker 2 I love love it! I love it! I love it.

Speaker 2 Shout out!

Speaker 1 Yeah, shout out, Ninja for the Slurpee Machines. So we got it going on.
I pulled all the favors. I reached out to Prime.
I reached out to Feastable. Shout out, Mr.
Beast.

Speaker 1 Everyone's coming through for Max's birthday. God bless him.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 1 But it was, it was good. You know what? And the egg salad was a little orange because it was those good, good yolks.

Speaker 2 Ooh, those. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Love that.

Speaker 1 not like a not like and like not like a fully overcooked yolk, you're saying it was a little jammy, yeah, but it was also you know, like when you get those good organic eggs, the yolk is almost orange.

Speaker 2 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes, my like this was like a from a chicken who living in Provence, like a real

Speaker 1 you know, a real socialist chicken.

Speaker 2 Good

Speaker 2 imported eggs, orange

Speaker 2 unbelievable.

Speaker 2 No, I'm getting

Speaker 2 It's so stupid.

Speaker 2 So good.

Speaker 1 And then, oh, for dessert,

Speaker 1 Oreo ice cream milkshake that had, like, I think what they do is they whip it and finish it.

Speaker 1 And then, really smart, almost blizzard-esque, they crumble up the Oreo cookies and put them in after the fact and just do a quick swirl. She's eating real chunks of Oreo in there.

Speaker 2 Wow. Yes.
God, that's a dream. What's best?

Speaker 2 I love a diner so much. And the fact that Phil and Lily have made it their,

Speaker 2 I was going to say life's mission. It's not, they have gone on a side quest to make something so just important, live on.
Diners are dying out, Josh. They're dying out.

Speaker 2 New York used to be flooded with them. Now you really only have a handful of great diners.
And we need to make new ones. It's very hard to make money in them.

Speaker 2 So you have to have a lot of money and you have to be doing it for the passion. But if you have the passion and you have the money, it is absolutely good for the neighborhood.
Why?

Speaker 1 They are so great. Why do you think they're dying out?

Speaker 2 I think at least in New York, the only way that you really make money when you own a restaurant is through liquor. And most diners don't have alcohol licenses.

Speaker 2 And even the ones that do, it's just like a little weird. Like you don't always want to go and order a Bloody Mary when you're having pancakes.
Like, I just think,

Speaker 2 I just think it's hard. And then you'll see the places that are charging it $30 for pancakes.
And everybody's like, that's egregious, which it is egregious, but otherwise, they can't make any money.

Speaker 2 Like, the price of rent is so high. The price of they're paying their staff appropriately.
If they're paying their staff appropriately, it's just hard to make money.

Speaker 2 And you, at a diner, you love being able to walk in and order an orange chicken, gyro, gyro,

Speaker 2 and calamari. And it's like for them to hold stock, Josh, of so much all at once to be available, their food costs are so high.

Speaker 2 So I just think it's like the diner is the old school diner, it's tough. Boy, oh boy, do I love one.
I love one. I also went, Josh, to an amazing restaurant this weekend.
Tell me. Amazing.

Speaker 2 Brand new to New York, very popular in Miami. It's called Motech.

Speaker 2 And this is like Middle Eastern, Israeli. It was so good.

Speaker 2 Like just unbelievable, like schnitzel sandwiches, lamb shwarma dips, like tzatzikis and chummis and baba ganoush and just like huge chunks of feta in their Greek salads.

Speaker 2 It was like unbelievable food. Unbelievable.
I ordered so much. I ordered so much food.
I felt so bad for the group I went with. I ordered so, they put me in charge.
They're like, Ben, you order.

Speaker 2 I'm like, are you sure? I'm on day seven of My Myozempic. I haven't had my shot yet.
I'm hungry. Like, I'm going to have my shot when I get home.
Yeah. I'm on, like, my dose has run out.

Speaker 2 Are you sure you want me to order? I over-ordered so much, Josh, that I just paid for it. Like, I felt bad.
I was at a dinner. It was me.
It was us and two other couples.

Speaker 2 I couldn't, I like, it was, it was at least $200 more than it should have been because of me. So good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was delicious. We should go when you're here.
It was amazing. The food was sick.

Speaker 1 Sick.

Speaker 1 I was listening to my boy Jordan's podcast, the Air Jordan Food Podcast, and he brought up a great point because him and his co-host Max Shapiro were talking about, you know, gripes and grievances with restaurants.

Speaker 1 And they were saying this, and I think it's spot on.

Speaker 2 If

Speaker 1 per se, you order a shrimp cocktail for the table, right? Great, happy, great. There's four people.

Speaker 1 There's a chance, or maybe he brought five people, there's a chance that there will be an odd number of

Speaker 2 shrimp.

Speaker 1 In cases like this, it's incumbent on the restaurant to just assume that each person should be getting their own shrimp and that they should always throw an extra one on and put on an extra five bucks, whatever it is.

Speaker 1 Like, do not bring an odd amount of appetizers for the amount of people sitting there, correct?

Speaker 2 I couldn't agree more. Me too.

Speaker 2 Like great restaurants will, great restaurants will say, like, if you're ordering a Krispy Rice that's four to an order, but it's five people, you should really add an extra one.

Speaker 2 Great restaurants will say that.

Speaker 2 i don't know if i love the idea of them just throwing on another one and charging me more like just in case because i was like looking at the price of krispy rice or shroom cocktail and it was 29 and all of a sudden it's 35 like i'd like to be told but i 100 agree with you that bringing four krispy rice for five people that's messed up Let's go around the room.

Speaker 1 And by the way, you haven't met him, but we have the great Kevin who's been sitting here at the newest addition to Dear Media, an old school friend of mine, one of the original engineers and producers of my first podcast, Curious.

Speaker 2 Wow. Yes.
Hey, Kev.

Speaker 1 We've made our way back together. Can you imagine if that's a shitty boss?

Speaker 2 Not a boss,

Speaker 1 a shitty talent. What do we think? Let's all say what we think is the ultimate appetizer, shareable appetizer for a group at a restaurant.

Speaker 1 And you can't be too specific. You can't be like buffalo bites from the blazing buffalo bites from Cheesecake Factory because you can only get them there.

Speaker 1 But we all know that would be the clear winner.

Speaker 2 winner yeah it would be i think josh i love like a yellow tail jalapeno from nobu with like that like delicious yuzu sauce over it you have a bunch of chopsticks there's probably like eight pieces i love something like that or a crispy rice and spicy tuna i also love the one at noo where it comes with like the pint of spicy tuna where you can put your own amount of spicy tuna on the crispy rice which is ideal because somebody who's a big, fat, fatty like me will take a big, generous helping

Speaker 2 and like, look, you snooze, you lose, Josh. If you don't get the spoon in faster than me, you're just not going to have as much tuna.

Speaker 1 You think I don't know?

Speaker 2 You think I don't know?

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's go with spicy tuna crispy rice because let's try to keep it like general. Like I feel like a lot of places have spicy tuna crispy rice now.

Speaker 2 So that's good. Spicy tuna crispy rice.

Speaker 1 Yes. I'm going to go classic spinach artichoke dip.
I just think you cannot.

Speaker 2 What an answer, Josh. What a good answer.

Speaker 1 when it shows up anything in a ramekin

Speaker 2 it's like family food not family food family feud good answer

Speaker 2 good answer

Speaker 4 what about you olivia i was gonna say kind of similar i think any kind of dip is usually fantastic but in the effort of diversifying a little bit i think i'm gonna go with the nachos I feel like it's a crowd pleaser.

Speaker 4 It's easy to share for the table. You can get a protein on it if you like.
It can be made vegetarian, you know, if you have a vegetarian at the table. But I'm going to, I'm going to lock in nachos.

Speaker 1 Yeah, nachos. Great.
Kev, what do we got?

Speaker 2 Going Super Midwest, the potato skin.

Speaker 2 Cheddar, bacon, salad.

Speaker 2 Well done, Kev.

Speaker 2 I love that. Well done.
Delish. That sounds fantastic.

Speaker 2 This episode of the Good Guys Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Ollie. Folks, you know that dogs play an incredibly important part in mine and my wife's life.

Speaker 2 Our first dog, Theo, he was like a son. He really was.
He was unbelievable. He was it.
He died at seven. Rest in peace.
Very sad. We now have a new boy, Romeo.
Romeo is fantastic.

Speaker 2 Romeo is almost two years old. We love him so much, and I really can't imagine my life without him.
They're like, They're like humans. They're just so sweet.
You're either a dog person or you're not.

Speaker 2 And I'm absolutely a dog person. And wanting the absolute best for my dog, I switched to Ollie.

Speaker 2 They offer fresh, protein-packed meals made with real human-grade ingredients, and they offer five tasty recipes, also cooked for top nutrition. And look, Romeo is a much pickier eater than Theo.

Speaker 2 This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Krusties. Folks, I love Krusties.
I'm obsessed with them. All of their products, they're all unbelievable.

Speaker 2 Get them at your grocery store, literally any of them, the pancakes, the waffles, it doesn't matter. It's going to be the best breakfast you've ever had.

Speaker 2 You can also create really fun, exciting recipes outside of breakfast, maybe a fun brunch item. I don't know.
You're going to,

Speaker 2 I don't know, you can be creative, but let me tell you, Krusty's is it. And the holiday season is all about creating memories, sharing traditions, and savoring the magic of festive moments.

Speaker 2 And Krusties is here to make that easier and more delicious than ever.

Speaker 2 This season, celebrate the effortless joy Krusties brings to holiday traditions, helping you and your family embrace the warmth, ease, and versatility of the season.

Speaker 2 Whether it's a cozy breakfast, a festive treat, or a simple way to bring everyone together, Krusties is the perfect companion for memorable holiday moments.

Speaker 2 The holidays are here, which means more cozy nights in, more time in the kitchen, and way more opportunities to bake up something delicious. That's where Krusties comes in.

Speaker 2 With their festive flavors and easy-to-make mixes, Krusties is here to help you put a fresh twist on holiday traditions without the stress of scratch baking and nobody will know that you didn't make them from scratch.

Speaker 2 It takes the work out of cooking so you can enjoy those little moments with family and friends and elevate your festive spread with delicious bakes that don't require professional skills.

Speaker 2 Their food is so good. These mixes are so delicious.
Normally, if you take like something from a box, you are compromising flavor, taste. Everybody's like, oh, this came from a box.
Not Krusties.

Speaker 2 These products are absolutely fantastic. If I'm making pancakes, I'm not making them from scratch anymore.

Speaker 2 And you know, I can because I'm a celebrity chef, but I'm going with Krusties because it tastes better. Okay.
Make this holiday season a little easier and a lot sweeter with Krusties.

Speaker 2 Pick up your favorite Krusties mix wherever you shop and start creating memories one batch at a time.

Speaker 2 Speaking of food, Josh, did you you see what obviously should win Halloween costume of the year? Did you see the person that went as a Hillstone waitress?

Speaker 1 So good.

Speaker 2 Unbelievable. So good.
Unbelievable costume. Yes.
Literally, I thought, I thought somebody was at Hillstone recording a waitress, and then I realized it was a Halloween costume and she's at a party.

Speaker 2 It was the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 We've got our seasonal artichoke.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's so good. Because that's what you want to hear.

Speaker 1 That's how you know winter's upon us. It's like Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2 If the artichokes are available, winter's here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Winter is here.

Speaker 1 Well, should we get to a story?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I would love to hear the goings-on,

Speaker 2 goings-on on the interwebs.

Speaker 1 Well, the goings-ons and the goings-ons is that I didn't know this, but I guess that Justin Baldoni Taylor Swift lawsuit is finally at an end. Do you know about it?

Speaker 2 Oh. No, no, there was a lot of chatter and I didn't know that it came to, I didn't know that it came to an end.

Speaker 1 Well, Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation and extortion countersuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, has officially been ended by the judge overseeing the case.

Speaker 1 On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Louis Lyman entered a final judgment stating that Baldoni had declined to file an amendment complaint according to court documents obtained by page six.

Speaker 1 Lehman said he had contacted all parties in mid-October to warn them that he would be entering a final judgment to conclude the case, noting that Lively was the only one to respond. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 Baldoni just didn't want to keep going forward?

Speaker 2 I think that Josh, she probably ran out of money.

Speaker 2 I think so.

Speaker 2 I think that there's just like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds money, and it's very hard to compete with that.

Speaker 2 Like, I just think that even if you're wrong, even if you're right, like the idea of going up against somebody with infinite money in a legal suit, like they can bury you like for years and and years and years and years and like i feel like the guy he probably wanted to go back to acting or like like this is like another job is this suit i don't know that's just that's just my thoughts what do you think it's like that um billy joel song you may be right i may be richer you know think about it yeah um totally i think assuming i'm working here's where i'm coming up with this opinion and i'm working off the facts that like maybe both parties were less injured as they said.

Speaker 1 Like, in the final assessment of all of this, like, it came clean that both people were just kind of there were two frustrated parties involved.

Speaker 1 I think at this point, Baldoni can go on to work and have a life. And obviously, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are going to be just fine.

Speaker 1 So, it's unfortunate that this whole thing had to happen, but now that everything's cleared, I think I don't see one party never being able to recoup and have a life and have a career again.

Speaker 1 So I say like, good, be done with it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's also just like a good general life lesson. This was the biggest thing in the world for a minute.
Yes. Right.
Like the biggest in the world.

Speaker 2 And even this, we have completely forgotten about. Like until you brought it up, I hadn't thought about it for one second.
And I completely agree.

Speaker 2 They can both just return to their jobs as actors and actresses and moguls. And I just like,

Speaker 2 even, even on like smaller scales like if there's like something in your life that seems enormous like it's just it'll time heals everything even things like that it's wild definitely except diabetes time will not heal that no no you're gonna need to remove your foot so that's that's why we're on preemptive diabetes medication with Munjara

Speaker 2 BH yeah dude BH we need to make a GLP one called BH

Speaker 2 yeah definitely you like that? Just like the Baruch Hashem.

Speaker 2 I take seven milligrams of the Baruch Hashem.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think of like other great names for GLP1s, like Ozempic, Munchari. Like, where did those names come from?

Speaker 2 Marketing firms. I have absolutely definitely like another one.
I'm staring at my roadcaster. How many of you have

Speaker 2 come from?

Speaker 1 That one's really withstood the test of time.

Speaker 2 It's an amazing, it's an incredible name. I have no idea where it came from.
So many good ones. Claridin.

Speaker 1 You know, Clarity.

Speaker 2 It's fucking smart

Speaker 2 that's smart no claridon is very smart zyrtech i don't even know what it is and josh screw those we are we're zyizal men now don't you

Brevity's key.

Speaker 1 And make sure you include your email because we might follow up and do a live call-in on the show. This first one is from Mads.

Speaker 2 And this versa one is from Mads.

Speaker 6 Hey, Basties, honored to be here. Came for Drake.
Save for you guys. I'm just wondering, have you guys watched? Nobody wants this.

Speaker 6 It's such a great show, and I'm really curious what you guys think think about it and what you would do if you were in the same position as the main character.

Speaker 6 He is a Jewish rabbi, and that's his like dream career, but he's fallen in love with a woman who is not Jewish and isn't sure if she wants to convert. Such a great show.

Speaker 6 So, just curious your thoughts and opinions on it. Also, Ben, my last name is Ruby.

Speaker 2 So, what a cool name you gave your baby. Love it.
BH, BH, love you guys.

Speaker 2 BH. Josh, have you seen the show?

Speaker 1 I actually auditioned for it, but I don't watch it.

Speaker 2 Okay, so

Speaker 2 I loved the first season. Loved.

Speaker 2 I actually stopped watching the second season. I turned it on.
I liked it.

Speaker 2 I thought it was just like the normal shtick. I forget the actor's name who's also in Veep.

Speaker 2 He's the brother in it, but he's fantastic. I forget his name, but he's hilarious too.
And

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 It became,

Speaker 2 I just like didn't find it as funny as the first season. I thought the first season was hilarious and it was very like true to like LA

Speaker 2 Jews, like wealthy Jews. And like, I thought it like portrayed it well.
The second season was very, or at least the episodes that I watched were very about that whole, like, wanting her to convert.

Speaker 2 He's going to lose his position as a rabbi.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 it just, it just like didn't hit for me, the plot line. Like, he's a rabbi who's dating a non-Jewish girl.
Sure. And so, like, you i i don't really i just like didn't get it like he like either she

Speaker 2 if she's dating a rabbi would probably want to be jewish otherwise why are you dating a rabbi sure and if he and if he's a rabbi but is willing to date somebody out of the community then then like that's cool you know what i mean like he he made that conscious choice they like built it up to be this big plot line like oh she won't convert and i don't know what happens because i stopped watching it but i stopped watching it for this reason it just like the plot was lost on me you're dating a rabbi.

Speaker 2 Like, if I'm dating an imam, Josh, I'm probably going to convert to Islam. Yeah.
Because I'm dating an imam. Like, it just doesn't, like, you're dating the pope.

Speaker 2 You, all of a sudden, you're not religious. Like, you're not a religious person.
You're dating the pope. She's framed as not religious.
And she's dating a rabbi. Why wouldn't she convert?

Speaker 2 It just, it's like an obvious thing to me.

Speaker 1 Like, always the time

Speaker 5 to bed, you know, like.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's his job.
Like, it was so so weird. And they, like, made it like a sticking point.
That was the flaw in the show. He didn't need to be a rabbi.

Speaker 2 He could have just been like a Jewish guy, like, just like a regular Jewish guy. He didn't, like, and then that plot line would have made a little bit more sense to me.

Speaker 2 I know you made, I think that's a fair, a fair point.

Speaker 1 If you marry someone whose job and a real calling in life is that, like, if Paige just hated the entertainment industry, like, it wouldn't, it would, it would be too much at odds with her being with me like because it's kind of all-encompassing

Speaker 2 it's everything like it it just it's so

Speaker 2 yeah i so i thought that was like a flaw in the show but shout out to the foster sisters and shout out i mean the show the first season was amazing they've crushed

Speaker 1 shout outs they seem awesome awesome the foster sisters and and people love the show i i think i only didn't watch it because like my big brother who works in finance and has written like 10 books on hedge funds and and the stock market i would always ask him like, do you like that show Billions?

Speaker 1 And he'd be like, no.

Speaker 2 He'd be like,

Speaker 1 he's like, I live it. He's like, I don't need to watch it.
He's like, even though I knew it was so well done.

Speaker 1 So similarly, I remember when the show first came out, like my mother-in-law, who's the cutest ever, was like, I know what the word shiksa means.

Speaker 2 And I was like, awesome.

Speaker 1 Like, but I just think for me, it was like, I live that. I'm married to an Irish Catholic brad.
I'm, I'm the super, you know, hot-blooded Jewish guy.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, I think when you're living it constantly, it's like you're maybe not as incentivized to watch it. But shout out, people love this show.
100%.

Speaker 1 And I think they've totally crushed it, which is awesome.

Speaker 2 Totally crushed it. The only thing that I will say, because you make a great point, like people who are watching it and don't live it, like just like any show, things are exaggerated.

Speaker 2 And these are like very specific types of Jews. But the great Robbie Hoffman comes on all the time and reminds us very poignantly that there are plenty of incredibly poor Jews.

Speaker 2 And like that being like the only type of Jew that you see and hear about, where they're like snobby, rich, entitled mother-in-laws, like they're also really nice, normal mother-in-laws is all I'll say.

Speaker 2 They definitely lean into, and I don't mind it.

Speaker 2 Like I like like stereotypes often have some truth in them, but I do, I do find that that show is like, is definitely sways one way on this is how Jews are and for that community it certainly is but not everybody

Speaker 1 just remember Jews we're not just accountants okay we're not just wealthy we've done other cool stuff Jewish leader Karl Marx created communism heard of it yeah okay okay heard of it son of Sam a murderer a Jew heard of him yeah heard of Jeffrey Epstein okay

Speaker 1 too much

Speaker 2 okay my bad. My bad.
I was just trying to

Speaker 2 be in on the joke. Okay, my bad.
Yeah,

Speaker 2 I know. We've heard about him too much.
Oh, man. Jeffy Epstein.

Speaker 2 That's funny.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine, like, after he got arrested, maybe there was like one or there were like a couple evil guys on their way to the island. They show up, you're like, what happened? Like, where's Jeff?

Speaker 2 It's like Fire Festival.

Speaker 2 Like Fire Festival, they show up.

Speaker 2 I was expecting John Rule and a bunch of hookers.

Speaker 2 And it's just a big sign that says foreclosed. I can't get on.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's

Speaker 2 immense, hysterical.

Speaker 2 Oh, man.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's so funny.

Speaker 1 This next one is from Anonymous.

Speaker 2 So funny.

Speaker 6 Hey, good guys. Huge moron here, and I'm in need of some advice.
So a little backstory here.

Speaker 6 I recently delivered my first child and was very pregnant last Thanksgiving. So the best time in the world to be pregnant is obviously during the holidays.

Speaker 6 I have a distant relative who is an elderly woman who will not get off my ass.

Speaker 6 So the whole dinner, she kept making little comments about, you know, how I was feeding and eating for two,

Speaker 6 how I, you know, had gotten thirds, hope that I would leave enough food for everybody else, with all just like a little smile on her face, trying to joke. It made me super uncomfortable.

Speaker 6 But obviously, I just kind of laughed it off, didn't know how to respond.

Speaker 6 Fast forward to recently, and she spent another family gathering talking behind my back to my husband and my brother about how I am spoiled rotten because of how much my mom helps with my child.

Speaker 6 So, what do I do? Obviously, with the holidays coming up, she's going to be talking her shit again.

Speaker 6 And while it's super irritating, I also want to be respectful to my elders and don't want to scoop to her level.

Speaker 6 So, I'm looking for some funny but not super rude rude one-liners that I could potentially use on her.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 This is like so not her problem, Josh. Like somebody needs to step in on her behalf.
Yes. And

Speaker 2 go and say,

Speaker 2 like, like when she's talking shit with your mother-in-law about like, like.

Speaker 2 like about this, your mother-in-law needs to turn to her and immediately course correct her. Yeah.
Because then she won't do it anymore.

Speaker 2 Like, she doesn't realize that she's not being funny, like in the moment. And she probably doesn't realize that she's hurting your feelings.
Like, I often find that people keep repeating things

Speaker 2 when

Speaker 2 they don't think that it fully resonated with you. And then

Speaker 2 once you're just like, this is no good, they stop.

Speaker 2 The old shitty aunt sees her putting food on her plate and she goes, There she blows. blows.

Speaker 1 And then she doesn't acknowledge it. She goes, I say,

Speaker 1 there she blows.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we heard you. Okay.

Speaker 2 We heard you. You're not funny.
She adds a horn.

Speaker 2 Oh my God.

Speaker 1 You're so right, though.

Speaker 1 It does take someone else to be like, are you okay? Like, what are you talking about? Like, stop that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because if you say it yourself, then you're like the combative person.

Speaker 2 All of a sudden, it's like

Speaker 2 your problem. But if your husband just turns to her and is like, like, one time, that wasn't nice.
You know how awkward she'll feel in that moment? Like, that wasn't nice.

Speaker 2 Somebody needs to stick up for you. It shouldn't be you.
Somebody needs to stick up for you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what I would do.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 Last last one from Kate hi good guys this is Kate I

Speaker 6 just want to know if I'm the asshole years ago my dear family friend had passed away and left my parents almost a million dollars

Speaker 6 all the time my mom is saying that if she won the lottery the first thing she would do was wipe away all of my debt

Speaker 6 well I know a million dollars isn't the lottery but here I am school teacher, still have student loans, and I just found out that not only did my mom book a trip to London, my dad just bought a brand new truck.

Speaker 6 So obviously they're not hurting.

Speaker 6 I'm not asking for it to be all wiped clean, but if they want to throw me a good 15, 20K,

Speaker 6 that would totally help not looking paycheck to paycheck. But now I can't tell if I'm being an asshole or not.
Thanks.

Speaker 2 Oof.

Speaker 2 I mean, I don't think you're being an asshole. I think if your mom really said, if I ever win the lottery, I'm paying off your student loans.

Speaker 2 And all of a sudden, somebody died and gave her a million dollars, then that's the equivalent of her saying that she's going to pay off your student loans. So I don't think you're being an asshole.

Speaker 2 That said, it's also not your money. Like they're...
allowed to do with it what they want to but and i don't know what your relationship looks like with them um

Speaker 2 i

Speaker 2 i think that

Speaker 2 like

Speaker 1 as a parent i would i would want to run to help immediately but i i don't know what your relationship looks like what do you think josh i agree with you i think it's that great saying do you want to be right or be happy in this case you are right but if you stick to that you're not going to be happy because yeah it's absolutely what your parents should do but they also have no requirement in which to do that so instead play psychological warfare on your dad, right?

Speaker 1 And so whatever he bought, a Toyota Tundra, a Dodge Ram, right? Put, you know, itching powder in the, in the driver's seat of his new truck. So every time he gets in, he has a Pavlovian response.

Speaker 2 He goes, this fucking car gets really itchy. And he's going to think God's punishing him.
It's light locust, you know?

Speaker 5 Let me think God's punishing him for being such a selfish fuck

Speaker 2 i wish he got like a cyber truck so you could pre-program the horn that just just says, you could have paid off my student debt. Yeah.
Like with every, with every honk.

Speaker 2 Because obviously he won't know how to change it.

Speaker 2 So good.

Speaker 1 By the way, in my Tesla, you know, they have the feature where you can put the whoopee cushion under each seat and it'll play a fart sound. Yeah.
Boy, do my kids love that. They're so stupid.

Speaker 1 Should we get to what do you nuts?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Our what do you nuts moment of the week are gripes with people, places, and things, both big and tall, whatever is sticking in your craw.

Speaker 1 I'll start. The other day, I was listening to an advertisement, an advertisement about this medication that helps prevent HIV.
I was like, wow, that's fabulous that there's a medication like this.

Speaker 1 And they were talking about some of the requirements. And they were like, you have to be this age to take it.
You also have to not have HIV.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 What are you nuts?

Speaker 2 It's to prevent.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Gotcha.

Speaker 2 Check. What do you nut? Check.

Speaker 2 Nuts. Nuts.

Speaker 2 These companies with their legalese so dumb.

Speaker 1 So stupid.

Speaker 2 My woody and nuts is, I was in my elevator the other morning and I'm there with my beautiful, I actually have two woody and nuts. There's my beautiful little dog, Romeo.

Speaker 2 He's smaller than the average Cavalier, probably 12 pounds. And this woman looks at him.

Speaker 2 Everybody's consistently like, oh, he's so cute. I love him, blah, blah, blah.
She looks at him. She's like, huh, he looks like a squirrel.
Silence. Like, I don't say anything.
And then she's like,

Speaker 2 very cute. I'm like, what are you nuts? What in the world is you telling me that my dog looks like a squirrel? A compliment.
Very cute.

Speaker 2 The second woody nuts, Josh, is, and you'll be happy to hear this because you've lived with me as a dog dad for a long time before I became a human dad.

Speaker 2 And I'm going to tell you, Josh, that it is a what are you nuts when people treat dogs like they're kids. Sorry.
And I did it. You just don't have a kid.

Speaker 2 So it's not what are you nuts when you're in it, okay? I get it, but it is nuts for you to compare being on the other side of it as if you have a child. Because you don't.
You have a dog. Sorry.

Speaker 2 What are you nuts? Yeah.

Speaker 2 You like that growth, Josh? That was growth. Love it there.
Twink.

Speaker 2 Growth. You know what else is growth?
