The following podcast is a DR Media production.

Two Jews, both big and tall, no subject too small for the good guys.

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?

They were the good guys.

They're not the great guys.

We were just so good and they were the good guys.

Whoa, Benjamin, how the hell are you?

Oh, Josh, I am wonderful.

I'm actually tired.

I'm fresh off of a golf trip.

I've been, I've told you about this.

This is my yearly golf trip.

I prepped my wife.

She let me go.

Plenty of fun.

Too much, though, Josh.

Do you know how they say you can have too much of a good thing?

This was too much.

We show up, no golf carts, Josh.

Three days, 18 holes Friday, 36 Saturday, 18 Sunday, all walking 7,000 yards apiece.

I'm broken.

I'm broken.

The thing that made me happiest right now, and by me, I mean your cardiologist, is to hear that you weren't sitting in that cart.

for nine hours a day, that you actually walked your ass down that golf field.

What are they called courses?

Yeah, centers.

Yeah, golf fields.

Yes, yes the whole the golf hole i walked down josh i walked 20 000 steps on friday hell yeah 39 000 steps on saturday 20 000 steps on sunday so and then i went to the airport hurricane watch hurricane watch showed up for a 230 flight at 130 didn't take off until 9 p.m that was my sunday Because we talked on Sunday and you were delayed and you were going to Panda Express.

Of course.

Had to.

I literally, I got to the airport.

How many calories?

I'd be curious, how many calories do you think a significant delay costs the average American?

I would say it costs somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 calories would be my guess, right?

Yeah, I mean, look, you're probably going to do a fattening coffee drink.

You're going to do a Panda run, and you're probably going to succumb to Cinnabon.

Have to.

And then you're going to go to a Hudson News.

I don't know.

What's with these BuzzFeed?

What did they, what did they, how did they get into the newsstand game?

I don't know if you have those two in California, but they have them at LaGuardia, these like BuzzFeed that were Hudson Newses.

They're called BuzzFeed.

I digress.

You're getting a Snickers.

You're getting an M ⁇ M's.

I'm getting a nerd's rope.

Claudia made fun of me.

I got a cranberry scone, Josh.

I got a cranberry scone in the airport to wash down my Panda Express.

You're Masuga.

I know.

You put in all those miles on those Gamsiers.

You're trotting down that golf field like a thoroughbred.

And then here you are.

You know, you're putting, you're, you're eating, you're eating yourself into oblivion.

Awful.

I literally, every pound I lost on the course, I gained back in that five-hour delay.

I gained it all back.

All of it.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine on my 600-pound life, Dr.

Nazardin's like, the biggest trouble we have are when our patients get layovers?

A thousand percent true.

And you know what, Josh?

How much money I add, how much money do you think the airport makes on delays?

A ton.

Well, there's such a big idea.

About everything.

A boatload.

They make so much money on delays.

Any delay, you're eating more, you're drinking more.

Any more time spent in the airport itself, they're killing it.

But I think.

Don't you you find, I find this the same way, I got to say, and I'm not proud of it, about most meals in Vegas.

If it's a Vegas restaurant that only exists in Vegas, it's probably good.

If it's a marquee, New York, LA, Miami restaurant that opens an outpost in Vegas, it's probably not good because the workforce is unionized.

And so I think like like airports, the food is never as good as it is at the restaurants.

Don't you find that?

I didn't ever think about the union.

I didn't know that.

I do agree that Vegas restaurants, especially when they're a chain, are 1000% worse in Vegas, without question.

I always thought that it was due to the sheer volume.

You just can't make food that great in that volume all the time, unless you're Hillstone.

Hillstone is the only restaurant that I know that can crank volume and hold quality.

Otherwise, it's all downhill.

Yeah, because I've heard Hillstone, their practices, they are, I mean, they run it like, you know, a German army from the past.

They are

tough, tough, tough, tough.

Yeah, well, it makes sense.

Hillstone is the only one where you go in there and you're getting the exact meal at the exact quality and the quality is high all the time.

Sure, you can go into an Outback and get the same quality all the time.

Shout out Outback, but it's a mid-quality.

We're talking high-quality for a chain, high quality.

I couldn't agree more.

And I will say, other than one,

some might say, major blemish on the Nazis' record, otherwise, uniforms, organization, paperwork, crushed it, hair touch,

crushed it, and just general, just general looks.

They were handsome as hell.

And how good is that new Kanye album?

No, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

jesus oh

oh

it's funny i was watching a tick tock recently and a kanye song came up and i was like damn he was great but i have to get off this i can't listen to it but damn he was great what a loser unbelievable the biggest tell me so you get home you've now you're seven hours delayed does your perfect wonderful our queen claudia but maybe just slightly a little codependent does she make does she punish you when you walk through the door?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I love it.

She not only punished me through the door, she punished me the whole day.

It was so, she was so chill.

Thursday, Friday.

I hope you're having a great time.

Saturday, I hope you're playing well.

Sunday, I hate you.

I hate you.

It was Hurricane Watch, but they didn't say it was Hurricane Claudia.

I literally drove a thousand miles an hour to the airport.

Josh, I booked two flights.

I got on the earlier one and then was delayed seven hours.

Unbelievable.

Like,

unbelievable.

But yeah, I walked through the door.

She was very upset at me.

A half hour later, she wasn't upset at me at all.

And that's on

God.

God.

Yes.

That's on God.

And on business.

And on business.

On God's business.

On

God's business.

BH.

Take my wallet.

You guys, I'm Gabby Windy, your host of Long Winded.

You may or may not know me, emphasis on may not, but I did have 26 boyfriends not too long ago and tragically lost Dancing with the Stars.

And now I'm back with a more freeing and liberating platform than ever, which honestly might make you sorry.

Anyways, with all of this under my belt, naturally I do have some shit to say.

In my very sweet, soft voice and public school education, I'll discuss girly topics with a bit of cheek.

Topics like gaslighting, die for it, internalized misogyny, one of my faves, honestly, and the depths of the dark dating world.

I will beg you again and again to come and listen, but most of all, I hope you enjoy.

How was your weekend?

What did you do?

What did I do?

I'm at that part, that time in my life where I don't even know what I do over the weekend.

Baseball was canceled because it's been rainy here in Southern California.

I took my kids.

What did we do?

In the morning, Saturday morning, I took them to go do things.

We went to go do things.

Oh, I took, first of all, we went to Denny's for breakfast.

Love a Denny's moment.

What'd we get?

What'd we get at Denny's?

Walk us through.

Of course, I got two kids' grand slams.

It's three mini, mini pancakes for the boys, one strip bacon, one strip egg, or one, one,

what do you call it, scrambled egg.

And then I substitute, then they also want to eat my toast.

So I make sure that I get toast with my eggs and a little orange juice moment, coffee.

It's really cute.

It's just so good.

Denny's.

So where do we go from Denny's?

So we go to Denny's.

Then we have a park moment, right?

Because now I feel bad.

The kids have consumed a thousand calories.

It's not even 9 a.m.

So we run the park, but I'm keeping my eye on both of these children, which a two-year-old and a six-year-old, they are not in sync because the six-year-old wants to be on the monkey bars and the two-year-old's constantly putting themselves in mortal danger.

But I will tell you, the great Jordan Harbinger, my friend, great podcaster, recently had on a pod about, it basically was like the overall dangers to children and how we've looked at it in the past and how we look at it now.

And as a future father, B-H-B-H-B-H.

I want to tell you what I heard.

Clearly, it's not going to change the way you probably approach things, but maybe it'll give you a little extra insight.

Overall, kids are physically in public the safest they've ever been ever.

Ever.

Interesting.

It is an extremely beyond extreme low likelihood that a kid is getting, you know, snatched from a park.

Obviously, it can happen, but like

if you lose sight of them at a store, like if you lose sight of them at Target, there are protocols in which if you alert someone immediately,

they will lock the store down.

Understood.

Yes.

Which is awesome, right?

So there's been a lot of updated, progressive, good things that have happened with keeping your kids safe.

So it makes me feel a little safer when I'm at the park with the kids because I'm like a hawk out there.

Yeah.

Where they're not safe is in your home on the internet.

Not safe at all.

They could pick up anything, a knife.

That's what's so scary once they start walking.

What do you think?

What do you think of the leash, Josh?

Thoughts on the leash?

Pro-leash.

You're pro-leash.

Have you ever used the leash?

No, but I have bought insoles for my kids' shoes with a little circle carved out for an air tag, and that will give you the most peace of mind ever.

That's really smart.

Really smart.

Okay, so why not?

So, all kids are air tagged.

Why wouldn't you?

I have no idea why you wouldn't.

That's genius.

Genius.

They're 20 bucks on Amazon.

Just go to Josh Peck's storefront at amazon.com backslash paranoid parent.

Hi, welcome to the Paranoid Parrot with Josh Peck.

It's very smart.

I don't know why anybody wouldn't do that.

That's very smart.

In our dogs, we chip them.

We throw a chip in all of our animals.

I guess that we're against chipping humans to put the air tag in their soul.

No problem.

Thanks a lot, Democrats.

Oh, sorry, AOC.

I'm not allowed allowed to chip my two-year-old.

Get them little hoop earrings that are dragging devices.

Little danglers.

They're just like little danglers.

Like, what is that?

Oh, nothing.

Just an earring.

So we're in the park.

We're not worried that we're going to lose them.

We don't lose them.

Yes.

Then where are we going?

So then we go to a,

at this age with a six-year-old, what's cool, and the two-year-old's just happy to be there.

If you can expose the six-year-old as good as something like a Dave and Busters or a trampoline park, something epic that they know they like, what is just on that level would be something super mundane that they've never done before.

Like I took him to a Pokemon trading card store.

Like baseball cards, Pokemon cards.

And this place was in a strip mall in torrents.

My G, this is like,

you know, this is nothing spectacular.

And it was a great little store, but it was like literally folding tables so nerds could do like card battles and a chip stand.

And my son, Max, was plotting.

Yeah, I love that.

Is he a collector?

Are we getting into the into the collecting game?

He loves Pokemon cards.

Yeah.

See, Josh, this is good.

This is good.

It's so cute.

More kids.

I feel like the physical is gone, right?

Because you could just get something on your phone.

I love the idea of kids still getting trading cards.

I loved cards so much.

I remember, it's funny that you mentioned the mundane.

I remember that my cousin had given me like three huge boxes of old baseball cards.

And when I tell you, these were the worst of the worst cards.

awful cards.

No good players, no nothing.

Probably the ones that you wanted to throw out.

Oh, was it a dream for me?

I remember asking my mom to buy me the binder, buy me the little,

what are they called?

Those like see-through pouches where you put in each card, the sleeve, so you could flip through them and see them.

Love a trading card.

Love them.

That said, I had Pokemon cards.

Mom lost them.

They could have been worth a fortune.

I know I had a Charizard.

Me too.

I gave my cards away 10 years ago to my friend, this guy, Ryan, who I knew was was like a total nerd and was into Pokemon.

I'm like, here, have these.

So he has them.

Yeah.

He's probably

retired.

He can't sell them.

He can't sell them.

A gift.

He can't sell them.

He must keep them.

If he sells them, split profit.

What law is that?

Is that a law?

This is a law that I'm making up that I think.

makes sense.

I'm recalling an episode of Curb.

Larry buys a house for Cheryl's sister.

Okay.

Cheryl's sister then sells the house and Larry says, I bought you the house to live in, but now you're making money.

It doesn't make any sense.

You wanted a house, so I bought you a house to live in.

The house is yours.

But when you sell it, we should split the profit on the house.

You can keep the nut, but we should share the profit, right?

So with this friend, you gave him Pokemon cards.

Sure.

he can keep the cards, but if he sells them, split profit.

Couldn't agree more.

Couldn't not agree.

Let's call him.

Let's call up this freaking guy that I'm sure made a pretty penny off of.

He's probably advertising them as Josh Peck's limited edition Charizard.

It's at least $500 more for the association.

At least.

Yes.

He's probably sniffing his fingers and watching anime.

Big finger sniffer.

Big time.

Gross.

Nobody, nobody does an ad like us.

nobody

nobody doesn't so we need we need bigger ads we need haliburton the the state of iran yes we do rafion

we would do incredible work for tourism for iran incredible i know the tourism board of turkmenistan are you kidding me Paul, call us.

Yes.

Call us.

Good guys.

I wouldn't pick you by uranium.

If Turkmenistan calls you, Josh, you're not picking up.

You're not picking up.

First of all, Turkmenistan's paging me.

All right.

They're sending the facts.

Yes.

You're not.

This is not a number I recognize.

I'm not picking up.

If the president called me, I'm not picking up because I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of a number that I don't have.

Yeah, totally.

Do you pick up numbers that are not stored in your phone?

Never.

Me too.

Ever, ever.

You can leave me a voicemail.

There's now that wonderful feature where I don't need to listen to it.

I can read it.

And 99% of the time, it's somebody trying to sell me something.

So I don't pick up.

Sometimes it's a doctor.

Rare.

Very rare.

Yes.

Even the 212s, I don't pick up anymore, Josh, which for you would be an 818.

I don't pick them up.

Or a 323, a 310.

What is the home area code for Los Angeles?

Well, it depends where you're from, right?

So in New York, it was 212, 718,

917, then 646, and 317.

Yes, and the 516, if you're a Long Island Queens.

516.

Was the home.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yes.

Yes.

The 212 was strictly reserved for the home.

Like six people have 212 cell phones.

Most of them are a 917, a a 646 a 31 a 516 and a 347 so what's los angeles los angeles is 213 the majors are 323 310 818 that was like covered our entire topography but now

they're 626

213

and i think that's it okay Good to know.

You know, Casey Neistat has a 212 cell phone.

Yeah, he's, it's rare and it's fucking ill.

It's ill.

It's so ill.

It's ill.

It's like, how did you do that?

How did you do that?

So cool.

But now that I think about it, it's so easy to do.

Like you can call and transfer a number to any phone you want.

There are a million 212s.

I wonder if those 212s are even really being used.

Like my parents still have their phone number.

It's just an answering machine.

If anybody calls it.

like their 212 is just going to waste.

I could pick up their 212 and throw it in a cell phone.

And I, yeah, I don't want to feel those calls, though.

Swayne Reed, your prescription's ready.

No thanks.

I don't want to.

This is Bonnie Greengrass.

Ava, you owe us two grand and locks over the last three years.

This is Mort the chop liver king.

Ava,

you back to

$900 worth of liver.

Who acts like this, Ava?

You can't ignore the problem, Ava.

Oh, she's got to go to Livers Anonymous.

It's too much.

And then on Sunday, and I can't wait for you to have this with your beautiful son.

Like I said, the mundane is really wonderful with kids.

I've taken Max to movies,

but like we'll get invited to like a cool little screening, right?

They'll be like, oh, there'll be like, and there'll be like a little event attached.

And so whenever I get invited to something like that for a kid, like a new kid movie, kid TV show, I always.

Renovations.

What?

Renervations.

Renovations, of course.

Never forget.

No second season.

That was a surprise.

I can't believe it.

I've never taken my son, Max, to like a proper movie at the movie theater.

We've just gone when it's like, you you know, once a year an event.

So he wanted to see the new dogman movie.

Pete Davidson, Zavoice, amazing, did a great job.

So we went to AMC in our neighborhood.

Big popcorn, big drink, nice reclining movie theater seats.

It was a ball.

We had the best time.

Just the snacks alone.

What kind of snacks did Max get at the theater?

He had crushed pancakes for breakfast.

This was a two-pancake weekend.

So we just said, we are limiting it to popcorn, no candy.

So it was, he was like, what about a Serpey for a drink?

I was like, absolutely not.

So it was sparkling water and popcorn.

Now that's on good parenting, because if I had pancakes for breakfast, that means that my day is ruined.

So I go to the movie theater and I eat everything sight.

What's your movie theater order?

I love a bunch of crunch.

Same here, fam.

Big fan.

I think it's a a fantastic, underrated snack that I can't figure out why it never made it out of the movie theater.

Like, I guess there were those crunch bars, but people didn't eat those like they ate bunch of crunch.

I love a buttered popcorn.

Buttered popcorn is fantastic, but really, my number one, number one is a nacho cheese.

I love

nachos with cheese.

I love it.

I have a distinct memory of always getting an extra nacho cheese so that I could dip my popcorn in the nacho cheese as well.

Because, man,

that cheese is delicious.

That's big fat.

So good.

That's Big Fatso style.

And I love that.

That's me too.

It's like Big Willie's style.

Na na na na na na na.

Na na na na na na.

Getting fatty with it.

Yeah, bro.

That's me.

So fat.

So fat.

And I like...

distinctly remember licking the inside of that cheese, getting every drop out, and then I'm sure I sniffed my fingers

just to get a little more cheese.

Bruce looks at Ava and he goes, should we get Ben tested?

And Ava goes,

no, no, no, he just had his nacho cheese.

He just went to the movies.

Okay.

Oh, thank God.

So delicious.

What's your go-to order?

I like a big popcorn and I like to do, as the great Lisa Lampinelli said, I like to do the fat boy maneuver of you go to the butter machine, you put a straw into the nozzle of the butter and you shove it

down to the bottom of the popcorn and you slowly but surely you butter each layer of it.

You layer it.

Yep.

Then I want to get a big bag of Reese's pieces, throw that in the hot, it's going to be hot popcorn.

You want that piping hot so that they kind of get a melty, yummy, salty, sweet moment.

Yes.

I want a diet coke the size of my head and yeah and a non-judgmental friend to diet coke the size of your head is what i forgot and it's completely essential completely need it don't i know need it olivia what about you giant popcorn all the way i'm also a huge fan of the bunch of crunch iconic snack incredible perfect

maybe like a nerd's gummy cluster too if we're sticking with the clustered kind of snack or you know if it's a regular movie theater something a little bit lower.

I don't know.

I'll get a Sour Patch kid, but 1000% doing a big popcorn, maybe a Dr.

Pepper or Mr.

Pib.

And yeah, doing that little butter trick.

You brought up a Sour Patch Kid.

I wonder, do people, since the creation of the Sour Patch watermelon, are there people who still eat the original Sour Patch Kid?

Sure.

Of course.

There are.

You think it's still a staple?

Because I, once the watermelon came out, I completely abandoned the kid.

I'm all watermelon all day.

I just am upset that we still haven't found the Sour Patch parents because there's all these kids running around and they're unsupervised.

Being eaten.

Being eaten.

If only they air tagged them.

If only we gave them that little earring.

So dumb.

Before we get into stories and speak pipe, this is the first episode after our Marquis Drake Bell interview.

So I want to just say to our new audience, welcome.

Yes.

What did you think of the Drake interview?

Because I thought it was pretty great.

I had an unbelievable time being in the room with two icons talking about past, present, future, hashing things out in a really respectful way.

being funny, but also being serious.

It was, to me, it was amazing.

I thought it was the perfect episode.

And there were so many things that I learned that I didn't know.

Like I'm sure you learned that you didn't know either.

Like sometimes we get so caught up in our own stuff that we think to ourselves, oh, you know what?

This person isn't talking to me because of something that I did.

And it's never, this person isn't talking to me because of something they're going through, which I took away.

It's like, whenever somebody isn't talking to me, I'm always, oh, what did I do?

Let me bother them them until they tell me versus asking like are you okay are you okay is something going on

so there were a lot of takeaways from it but i loved it what did you think i i loved it too i think i can't believe it took us 20 years but it's truly the first time that we sat down and i'm so glad that we did and every time we we've done some version of that um i've learned a little bit more i think with time and

progressing in our lives, having kids and whatnot, it just, you know, it gives me more and and more insight into him and in general, just like the human experience.

And

I think we are tied to each other forever and people love that show.

And so being able to have good feelings of each other, I think is really, really important.

And I'm, I'm, I'm just really glad that we were able to do it on the pod and that you and Olivia were so lovely and perfect with your questions.

And I hope the people enjoyed it.

And I'm sure he'll come on again.

So So here's the thing, Ben.

Here's the thing.

Tell me.

Drake really

wants me, and by me, I mean us, you and me, Ben, to come to Mexico.

He is unbelievably adored there.

The show is obviously loved there.

And he has sort of intimated to me over the years, like, you have no idea the amount of passion and love.

and beauty of the fan base in Mexico.

He's like, you have to come once and let me do it upright and show you what the power of the Mexican fan base for Drake and Josh.

Josh, this is how we start our Patreon.

This is it.

This is our vlog.

This is what starts it all.

You want to watch it?

Pay per view,

folks.

Pay per view.

I love it.

I'm in.

We would need to do it right now or in like nine months.

Perfect.

But I'm in.

I want to go to Mexico.

I want to go to Mexico City.

I want to do it up.

I want to meet Amelia Perez.

I want to do the whole thing.

What's so great is the difference between a first-time father, as you will be in a month or two, and a third time, as I will, God willing, be in July, is that you're like, you know, I might need to take a month off for a little bit of paternity leave.

And I'm like, literally schedule the podcast for as soon as possible after the baby is born.

I will need to get out of the house.

And both are right.

And both are right.

And both are right.

Yes, I'm so down.

I loved that Drake episode.

It was so great.

And I had something else about it.

What else?

What was it?

What was it?

What was it?

I don't remember.

All right, cut that out.

Episode was amazing.

What about, this is going to be a little past due.

I would imagine you know, since the two things you love most are the New York Knicks and Tracy Morgan.

Did he throw up at the game on courtside?

Not only did he throw up, but they took him off in a wheelchair.

His nose

and his nose was bleeding the whole way out.

So fucked up.

I'm barfing in Madison Square.

Got him.

I'm going to throw up on your court.

Poor Tracy.

Oh, my God.

Once I found out that he didn't have like cancer, which was my fear from the nosebleed, apparently it was food poisoning.

That's a bad bout of food poisoning.

Like, holy crap.

You saw the picture of just all the vomit in front of him?

It's Jalen Brunson.

I'm blowing up right now.

So bad.

Again,

because thank God he's okay.

He's okay.

He's fine.

By the way, he's completely fine, which is what now makes it funny.

Like, that's nuts.

Can you imagine having food poisoning so bad that you need to be wheeled out?

Like,

that's epic.

Who are they playing?

I know that they won because of his post that said, Well, the Knicks are one to know when I vomit on the court.

Oh my God.

He's such a legend.

I know I've told you this before, but I'm going to say it again.

I've been to Benny Hanna six times in the last six years.

Five times I've been there, he's been there.

Really?

Swear.

Swear to God.

Every single time Claudia and I go to Benny Hana on 55th Street, Tracy Morgan is there.

Hell yeah.

Every time.

I wonder.

He must go weekly.

Me must.

Yeah.

Unbelievable.

I just want to say

Tracy Morgan is a national treasure.

I am obsessed.

I love Tracy Morgan.

I am so glad he's okay, which is why we can joke.

So good.

30 Rock.

Brilliant.

30 Rock is it.

30 Rock is so good.

Have you seen 30 Rock?

Never.

Of course not.

It's not for me.

it is for you tracy morgan is godly in 30 rock oh he's so funny you love it olivia yeah 30 rock is fantastic and tracy in it is just like pure gold you would love it josh i promise you would love it i have no doubt you don't have to watch desperate housewives but you need 30 rock Well, did you know that I followed a trendy carnivore diet and ended up in the hospital with kidney stones?

This is what I ate in a day.

This is a story from the New York Post.

but a person who was doing the carnivore diet on tick tock a dallas-based content creator who goes by eve catherine ate this in a day and it ended her up in the hospital she was eating are we ready

are we ready

it is she ate a lot of protein no big surprise that what is this come on new york they hide it so you see all the ads i know they're looking for the clicks

so many clicks While you do that, just quickly,

will it pick up this snocking?

You don't think the mic's picking it up?

Okay, cool.

I don't hear.

You haven't heard anything?

No.

Okay, good.

There's just somebody nailing pictures.

So I just want to make sure that we don't pick that up.

Like, can you nail your pictures another time?

Whatever.

Yeah.

What is she eating?

She did a high-protein diet that gave her kidney stones, and it was eggs,

protein bars, steak, and that it limits the amount of fiber consumed, resulting in constipation, headaches, and foul breath, the increased risk of heart disease due to eating high foods and saturated fat, and or kidney stones.

So, a high-fat diet, she's saying, it causes kidney stones.

I guess so.

I feel like it's a diet lacking leafy greens, wouldn't you agree, Josh?

Sure, could be.

And a diet lacking water.

It sounds like she was just eating steak and butter.

You also need a leafy green and you eat a big jug of water.

That's all.

That's all.

Just saying.

How much water do you drink in a day, Josh?

I drink about 60 ounces.

60 ounces would be about

seven to eight ounces.

Yeah, four of those.

I think, no joke.

I think I drink.

at least 100 ounces of water a day.

At least.

But is

that hydration's a ruse?

No, no, no.

I acknowledge that I think I drink too much water, and

I think that I don't have enough electrolytes.

I tested a theory yesterday, Josh.

I was very thirsty, very thirsty, very thirsty.

I popped open an element, I put it in, I drank it, and then I was not as thirsty.

I think that sometimes, not think, this is fact, sometimes you're thirsty, but you're not hydrated.

You're just lacking electrolytes that hold on to the water.

And so you think you're thirsty.

Make sense?

Sure.

That's all.

You learn something every day.

Element.

Yeah, shout out Element.

It's delish.

And it's the only electrolyte pack that I will ever use.

They're great, unless they stop paying us.

No.

And then, sorry.

Should we go to a speak pipe real quick?

All right.

So we're going to go into one speak pipe.

If you have questions, you want to ask ask us anything, get advice from us.

Don't give us your woody nutses.

They're not great.

Go to speakpipe.com slash good guys.

Here's one from Anonymous.

Shalom, good guys.

Just wanted to get a little advice from my virtual besties.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for about seven years and we got together young.

So we're now at the age where we're ready to get engaged, all that good stuff.

Our friends are all kind of the same vibe that we are where they're getting engaged, getting married.

So bachelor, bachelorette parties, all that fun stuff is happening.

Wanted to see y'all's y'all's opinion because we've always been on the same page as far as strip clubs go where as much as I love to be a cool progressive girlfriend, I really don't love the idea of my boyfriend spending money to just go look at girls' tits all night when I'm literally at home, you know?

And he's never had the desire to go to one, thinks they're a little silly, and just it's never been an issue for us.

With the bachelor parties happening, it's has me thinking

if they decided to go to a strip club and he's in a big group, what is, is he just going to be the one loser that says, oh, I don't feel good, sorry.

Or like, actually, I'm just going to sit out and do something else.

Like, he can't write.

I mean, I'm not stupid.

I know it's going to come up.

But, like, what do you do in that instance when you know your significant other like thinks it's just disrespectful and really doesn't want you to do something like that?

But you don't want to be the loser with your friends.

Like, what would y'all do?

I don't know how Paige and Turdy feel, but if that came up with you guys, how would you address it?

Let me know.

Thank you.

Just so we know, I think I've spoken about this in the past.

Turdy loves a strip club, probably more than me.

Like, she loves a strip club.

There's something about it that is just so fascinating to her and fantastic.

And even if you got a lap dance?

I think she would take issue with that, but she loves a strip club in general.

And I guess I would say that if we were together and I got a lap dance, she wouldn't care.

She loves a strip club.

That said, I want to talk to this girl in particular.

There's a huge difference, in my opinion, between

a

strip club in your neighborhood that your boyfriend or husband is going to on a Tuesday versus a strip club that he's going to once in a lifetime in Punta Cana with his friends.

That's all.

I'm not saying that one is right or one is wrong.

I think that your rule on strip clubs is totally valid if he is going to the local joint.

But

this is just my personal opinion.

It's very, very different when you're on a bachelor party or you're with a group of friends, you're at a destination.

It's just different.

And you should

try to not see it as something that's gross and degrading.

See it more as like

more as like a male bonding activity.

Like it's not like him being a loser.

It's just like if all of his friends were going out to dinner, he wouldn't hang back.

It's an activity.

Like you should trust him enough to know that he's not doing anything.

It's like a bar, like he's in a bar, is the way that I would think about it, personally.

But if he's going to strip clubs on Wednesdays for the filet of soul with his boys, you have a problem.

That's a problem to me.

It's not filet of soul, it's flounder.

Totally.

They're not getting soul.

What are you nuts?

I'm getting the catfish at Jumbo's clown room.

Yeah, I think both things can be true.

It is wildly inappropriate.

It is, you know,

yeah, it's inappropriate.

Like, absolutely, you are 100% right to feel the way you feel, but it almost goes so far in that direction that it almost comes back around the other side to acceptable.

And I think both things can be true, that you cannot love it.

And you can also just let him do what he's going to do with his friends.

And trust, this is not like

a knock on you.

This is not a slight to you.

It's just something that we've accepted as a part of our culture and something that gets done during these bachelor and bachelorette parties.

And it's, I agree, if it's a one-time novelty thing every now and then, I can't tell you.

I don't know if I've been to a strip club since my bachelor party, but I haven't been invited to a lot of bachelor parties since.

Thus, I have no reason to go.

Yeah.

And also,

don't ask

like about his bachelor party in detail.

I just wouldn't.

Like my, my wife goes on a bachelorette party.

I'm, I have to assume that they took in some kind of a show.

They went to Vegas.

How was your trip?

It was great.

Amazing.

I trust her.

Like if you trust him, the problem here is trust.

If you don't trust him, then I wouldn't trust him.

But if you trust him, then you have to trust him.

That's, and it sounds like you guys have a relationship.

typically built on trust where you talk about things and you met at a young age and you love each other.

And I would trust him personally.

I think if you're having fun, there's degrees too.

If my wife was like, we went and we threw dollars on the stage, because there was a guy named Mustang and he was, you know, he was so hilarious and well-groomed.

And I would have been like, that's hilarious, babe.

Good for you.

And then if she said, and then we went to the champagne room

and

I got the nine dance special, I'd be like, hold on.

Yeah.

You know?

But would you, I couldn't agree more.

Would you ever have asked Paige if she went to the champagne room?

No.

You trust that she's not.

You trust that she's not.

She's not, because she's not.

Because you know Paige and she's not.

That's what I'm saying.

Like, I wouldn't let your mind go somewhere that it shouldn't go.

Is your boyfriend a scumbag?

No.

Then he's not doing that.

Like, if he married a scumbag, though, then you're in a little bit of trouble.

Yeah.

And you probably don't know it until you know it.

And then there's no going back.

And then you're done.

You're done for.

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

Ben, go for it.

This is, it's first a question, Josh.

Do you ever put Max and Shy on your shoulders?

Sure.

Would you ever not hold their feet?

Never.

Okay.

This is my what are you nuts, okay?

Parents that do this because they do this.

There's a guy in the airport, Josh.

He has his three-year-old son on his shoulders while he's carrying two trays full of starbucks what are you gonna do when your kid starts to fall you're gonna drop the starbucks and you're gonna grab him like what's your plan here what are you nuts if you have a child on your shoulders you can't rely on them to pull your hair or grab your ears they're going to fall they're up six feet or around six feet, as Josh would say, and they're going to fall and they're going to hurt themselves.

It's too high.

What are you nuts?

If If you're going to put them on your shoulders, hold their freaking feet.

My woody nuts is: I was taking my son Shai for a walk around Venice Beach, which I love.

And on the Venice Boardwalk, they have a lot of the things that you would see at like a normal boardwalk.

They have ice cream, and you can rent scooters, and there's all these fun little activity things, all the normal touristy things, including

draw your name on a piece of rice.

What?

Lydia nuts?

Yeah.

Get your name on a piece of rice.

On a piece of rice?

Yeah, you've never seen this?

Ever.

Get your name drawn on a piece of rice.

There's a dude, and he's got his little magnifying glass and a single grain.

I'm assuming long grain, not the short stuff.

And he will

inscribe Ben on the rice.

And he'll be like, no, that'll be 20 bucks.

How much is that?

I was going to ask.

How much is it to

$20 to engrave your name on a grain of rice?

Write your name on a grain of rice.

Does he hand it to you just loose?

What are you, nuts?

I'm sure he can upsell you for a little container.

Ow, what are you nuts?

Nuts.

There's got to be a better way to make a living than engraving rice.

I mean, you can't have it for like a God forbid moment.

You're out of rice for dinner.

You know, what are you going to eat?

One piece?

No, no, you can't.

And it's also worth nothing.

God forbid, you need to sell off all your stuff.

You're not making back 20 bucks on the grain of rice with your name engraved on it.

It holds no value.

The depreciation on that, can you imagine?

Instant.

No, you take it home, it's worth zero.

It's horrible.

Like that.

Horrible.

You know what isn't horrible, Josh?

This podcast.

So true.

It's five stars.
