Speaker 6 The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Speaker 5 good guys.

Speaker 6 Benjamin, how the hell are you?

Speaker 9 I'm splendid, Josh. I want you to know that yesterday, I, or two days ago, I went golfing.

Speaker 9 The second that you see that it ticks over 40 degrees, you start to think about it in New York because we're sick. Okay, we're deprived of good weather.
I know.

Speaker 9 California, you and your father-in-law, you get to hit the links whenever you want because it's gorgeous. But over here, you know, we only have a certain golf season.

Speaker 9 I saw it was going to be 46 degrees. We went out there freezing.
I shot the round of my life. I don't know if this means anything to you.
I shot an 81. That's huge.

Speaker 9 Chance to break 80, and it was the round of my life. And I'm trying to figure out: was it because I was cold, Josh? Yes.
Was I more focused on the weather than I was on the actual game?

Speaker 9 And as a result, I was more relaxed when I was playing.

Speaker 6 What was the par for the course?

Speaker 9 The par was a 72. Nice.
6,600 yards. So I was nine over.
It was unbelievable. I played so well.

Speaker 9 And yeah, so how am I? I'm freaking great. I'm excellent.
And now today, Josh, it's 55 degrees. This whole week, it's supposed to be mid to high 50s.

Speaker 9 And all I know is that the Groundhog saw his shadow, but I don't think it means dick.

Speaker 6 It doesn't mean dick. Who came up with these fables?

Speaker 2 I have no idea.

Speaker 9 I have no idea. I have no idea.
No. If the Groundhog sees his shadow, it means more winter.
Woody nuts. That's what are you nuts.

Speaker 6 Total Woody nuts. Like, spare me.
You know, money is going into that. At the very least, the gas that it takes for the news crews to get there.
They're wasting it on that.

Speaker 9 They love it. They love that story, too.
They love all showing up, watching Chuck, who rest in peace, we all know, dropped by de Blasio, the OG Chuck.

Speaker 2 De Blasio was holding him.

Speaker 9 He dropped him, suffered internal bleeding, and died the next week. Okay, but in general, this is a nuts practice.
Nuts.

Speaker 9 I actually can't think of anything in modern times that is as crazy as us legitimizing that if a groundhog sees his shadow, it means there's more winter.

Speaker 6 Yeah, dude, because you know there have been guys who've been like, hey, is it Groundhog Day? Yeah, he sees shadow. He did.
Fuck. Like,

Speaker 2 yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 9 Absolutely. To this day, is there, can you think of something that we do that's equally as nuts as a society?

Speaker 2 I really, I can't.

Speaker 6 Just so we can tell our kids there's something called Santa Claus, but other than that.

Speaker 11 I guess that's true too.

Speaker 9 Yeah, Santa.

Speaker 6 Easter money and Santa.

Speaker 11 Yeah, what's up with that?

Speaker 6 I was going to say there's no Jew mysticism like that, except we do kind of say that a guy parted the seas.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, that would be the mysticism for sure.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like who knows if that really happened.

Speaker 9 Who knows? Yeah, and that we managed to have one night of oil last for eight nights. But eat nuts, there's a fictitious amount of oil.

Speaker 6 There was an ark.

Speaker 2 Or there's a short specific amount of oil.

Speaker 9 Not fictitious. Yeah, an ark, the Noah's Ark.
You never know.

Speaker 2 So many. You never know.

Speaker 6 First of all, that Moses was in a basket in the Nile. I don't care how tight that wicker was.
It's letting in some water. No.

Speaker 9 By the way, this, this, Josh, is as woody and nuts as Groundhog. We've reached it.
A wicker basket does not float.

Speaker 2 Okay, a wicker basket sinks.

Speaker 8 Oh, that sucks.

Speaker 6 How, Josh? How?

Speaker 6 It doesn't. It doesn't.
I'm sure that there's some archaeologists who say they sealed it with wax. No, she didn't.

Speaker 2 No, no.

Speaker 9 Please. No, there was no wax.
She made a game time decision. She's like, they're coming and dumped him.
She had time to make a wax wicker basket that 100% doesn't allow water in from the Nile. Nope.

Speaker 6 Here's another one. Here's another fun one that we never think about.
Jesus, born of Immaculate Conception to the the wonderful Virgin Mary. Shout out.

Speaker 6 You don't think he had some weirdness with Joseph, his stepdad?

Speaker 2 Probably.

Speaker 6 Probably that got weird.

Speaker 6 Joseph's like, hey, you know, pick up your clothes on the floor. And Jesus goes, my father's God.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 You bossing me around, Joe?

Speaker 9 Complex. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 6 You think you're not my real dad. My real dad is God.

Speaker 4 My real dad is God, Joe.

Speaker 6 You know, save it, Joe.

Speaker 2 Save it, Joe.

Speaker 6 Oh, I'm going to go tend to the lambs. It's enough, Joe.
My dad is God.

Speaker 6 He knocked up your wife without touching her.

Speaker 2 Loser.

Speaker 9 Honestly, such an invasion of privacy to be knocked up by God without his permission.

Speaker 2 Totally.

Speaker 9 Like, God was the original me too.

Speaker 2 That's insane. God was.

Speaker 6 He was the original me too. He was the original me too.

Speaker 2 Totally.

Speaker 9 Yeah, like Mary's just like chilling.

Speaker 2 She's like, honestly, probably like pumped.

Speaker 9 Like, she's, she's, it, like, come to terms. She can't have kids.
She's thinking about all the things that she'll do as a single woman.

Speaker 4 All of a sudden, she looks down.

Speaker 6 She's pregnant.

Speaker 2 Like, how?

Speaker 2 How? Yes. Not totally.

Speaker 6 Wait, did Mary not have other children other than Jesus?

Speaker 9 I don't know.

Speaker 6 I think she did. That's the estimate.

Speaker 2 That's.

Speaker 9 I think that... No,

Speaker 9 Mary's new, but

Speaker 9 Mary's new, but I still, I think the whole thing was that she was barren. I don't think she could have kids.
And then she magically had Jesus.

Speaker 2 Wow. Wow.

Speaker 6 I love it, man. This podcast is like, we are fully evolved.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 6 we just offer, we offer hot takes, God takes, all the takes.

Speaker 9 We offer something for everyone. I wish I knew just like a little bit more about Buddhism, a little bit more.

Speaker 9 I'd love to be able to opine on Buddhism because I really am very into, as you know, my Eastern side, Eastern medicine. I'm there.
I'm there, Josh.

Speaker 9 I found out about these new pressure points that I told you about with the hand. I'm all in on Eastern.

Speaker 9 And I just think that, or I have been told that the connection between Eastern and Buddhism is right there. And that if I wanted to find that, I also heard that Kabbalah, Josh, has a lot of that.

Speaker 9 What do you think about leaning into Kabbalah?

Speaker 6 I just think it's funny that on any given week, on any given Monday, you're injecting yourself with Ozette going. I'm really into Chinese medicine.

Speaker 2 Josh, I am.

Speaker 2 I'm all over the place. I'll try Eastern.
I'll try Western.

Speaker 6 I'll try anything. I like Southern medicine.

Speaker 6 I mean, it's called a tablespoon of mayonnaise.

Speaker 6 The new show from Bravo, it's Southern medicine.

Speaker 2 Don't feel good? Have Hellmans. Yeah, this is it.

Speaker 6 A spoonful of Hellmans makes the medicine go down.

Speaker 9 A quick crab rangoon.

Speaker 6 Can you imagine that's the new Craig Conover spin-off? Southern Medicine. We find him a new bow.
She's like this Alabamian ER doctor.

Speaker 9 I'm going to blow your mind, Josh. Southern Medicine is starring both Craig Conovers.

Speaker 2 That's it.

Speaker 6 They're both in South Carolina. I can't believe they haven't run into each other.

Speaker 9 The doctor and the stud. Southern Medicine.

Speaker 2 So good.

Speaker 2 Dude, Dr.

Speaker 6 Craig, by the way, Dr. Craig Conover, I don't know how I'm looking, bro, but I am on a full injection of peptides daily, and I feel nuts.

Speaker 9 You're looking good.

Speaker 2 You're looking really strong.

Speaker 4 Like huge.

Speaker 6 I'm on peptides, babe. I'm on it.

Speaker 2 Talk to me about it. I want to know about it.

Speaker 6 Tell us. So peptides are, they basically are, I don't know, but

Speaker 9 another Joey Comaster recommendation.

Speaker 6 Peptides are agonists, right? And so the ones that I'm on are like human growth hormone agonists.

Speaker 6 So instead of taking something artificial, like, you know, a horse's dose of testosterone or human growth hormone, right?

Speaker 6 Which is a pharmaceutical that's flooding your body with so much more than it could ever make naturally.

Speaker 6 But of course, you get those incredible gains that you wouldn't find in sort of the natural universe.

Speaker 6 Peptides are these amino acids that basically signal to your body, make a little bit more, upregulate your human growth hormone naturally? So your body's making it.

Speaker 6 Now, I guess, sort of like the discussion or, you know, the debate would be: didn't your body down-regulate all that stuff for a reason?

Speaker 6 Like, you're 38, you're fully grown, maybe you don't need that much in your system anymore. To which I say, pa ta,

Speaker 2 get over it, get over yourself.

Speaker 6 So I feel good. Like it, my aches and pains, I feel like I'm getting, you know, in better shape.
It's kind of nice.

Speaker 9 I mean, you look fantastic. And it just sounds like your guys were working an eight-hour shift.

Speaker 10 Now they're working 10.

Speaker 2 They'll be fine.

Speaker 9 They'll be fine.

Speaker 6 There's no burnout.

Speaker 9 No, they'll be fine. As long as you're not taking like an insane amount, I think it's perfect.

Speaker 2 I love it.

Speaker 8 Ben.

Speaker 6 Tell me about your cooking videos and kind of how you've been using your Galaxy S25 Ultra for that.

Speaker 9 I mean, they've completely changed the game for me. I don't know if people know because they just see a perfectly edited video.

Speaker 4 They're like, Ben, how'd you do that?

Speaker 9 How'd you make a perfectly edited video 45 to 90 seconds? I'm recording on now my Galaxy S25 Ultra from Samsung. And, you know, I like to take some ASMR, Josh, maybe a nice chop.
People love that.

Speaker 9 A nice sizzle when you drop a nice sirloin in a hot pan.

Speaker 6 Yeah, if you're burning a dumpling. Sorry.
I didn't mean. Sorry.
I didn't mean to burn you.

Speaker 2 Sorry. Excuse me.

Speaker 6 No, it looked good. It looked good.

Speaker 9 That was pre-Samsung when I used to burn things.

Speaker 2 Now at the new Samsung, I don't burn anything, Josh. Okay.

Speaker 9 And, but, you know, you have this perfect ASMR moment and all of a sudden, Romeo, woof, woof, woof, woof. Or even Claudia, Ben, can you get me an apple? Like, no, I'm cooking, honey.
I'm cooking.

Speaker 9 Okay. And all you have to do, Josh, with this new, beautiful phone, audio erase.
They literally use AI in their audio eraser to get rid of unwanted sounds.

Speaker 5 Poof.

Speaker 2 They're gone. It's like magic.

Speaker 6 Yeah, the audio eraser with Galaxy AI, it just, it makes your life so much better because it's, you know,

Speaker 6 the resolution is 8K, right? So the video is beautiful.

Speaker 6 But have you ever been filming something and all of a sudden you just feel wind and you go, here it is, you know, it's like, it's like when my mother shows up unannounced.

Speaker 6 I'm like, huh, well, you know, you could have said something. You know, I wasn't expecting you.

Speaker 6 But it could be like the slightest bit of wind or Romeo or your wife needing a wonderful apple for one of her cravings, you know, pregnant women, God bless them. But you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 6 It's like, if the sound is off, it ruins a video and now you have a tool and i think that's the game changer they care about creators josh that's what it is they care well look i think it's important that we say that you can get your galaxy s25 ultra right now not later now at samsung.com Audio Eraser is compatible with common video formats, accessible in gallery, helps minimize six select sounds.

Speaker 6 Results vary. Galaxy AI features buy Samsung free through 2025 and requires Samsung account login.

Speaker 9 Speaking of aches and pains, Romeo, my pup, has been sleeping in the crate for the first year.

Speaker 9 And this is coming off of Theo, who used to sleep in bed with us. He was crate trained until one, but then Theo was really sleeping in bed with us for six years.

Speaker 9 And Josh, Romeo had his first full night's sleep in our bed two nights ago.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 9 I woke up my back. I was in so much pain because he slept in my legs.
He slept in my arms. I didn't want to crush him.
Claudia has a pregnancy pillow. I'm in the top corner.
I had no room.

Speaker 9 And then I realized, was I, were my aches and pains coming from sleeping with my dog? Because I have felt physically significantly better since Theo's passing. I thought about this.

Speaker 9 And I think it's because I'm sleeping without a dog. It's very hard to sleep with both a woman and a pregnancy pillow and a pooch.

Speaker 6 Because is it acceptable to have a dog in your bed?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I think so. You can't do it anymore.
I can't do it. I love it too.
I love them. I love them so much, but it's not worth it.
It's not worth my sleep quality.

Speaker 2 It's not worth it. It's unacceptable.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's not worth it. It's not worth it.
It's easy for one partner because the dog only sleeps with one partner. So the other one's like, oh, it's, I had the best night's sleep.
He's so cute.

Speaker 9 It's great. It's like, yeah, he's literally tangled in my legs.

Speaker 6 Right. So he said aches and pains.
And not only that, it's like, do you wash their paws after you go out?

Speaker 2 I do.

Speaker 6 Every time?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah, we do.

Speaker 9 We do. He is really clean feet.
Really clean feet. Groomed a ton.
He's clean. I feel good about his cleanliness.
That said, you could still track in some dirt from the streets.

Speaker 9 It's definitely cleaner for him to sleep separately.

Speaker 11 Absolutely.

Speaker 9 But the real straw that broke the camel's back, if I'm not sleeping well, Josh, it's kaput.

Speaker 6 Keep the animals out of the bed, including the children. Yes.
They don't belong in the bed.

Speaker 6 I'm not kidding.

Speaker 9 I like, yeah, tell me.

Speaker 6 Look, every different strokes, different folks, stay out of our comments, people. If you do it, if you do a co-sleep situation, God bless you.
I'm glad it works for you.

Speaker 12 What do you mean, a co-sleep?

Speaker 9 Like, people do that more than once in a while.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. Full time.

Speaker 9 What do you mean, people?

Speaker 2 How old?

Speaker 6 We have couples in our life that refuse to allow their children to cry ever. And thus, the only time the kid can sleep is either on the mom or like babies.

Speaker 6 And so, first of all, everyone advises against having your baby in bed because you could fall asleep too and roll over on them. So that's...

Speaker 9 Their babies are sleeping in bed with them.

Speaker 6 Some people do it.

Speaker 2 It's this is this is insane.

Speaker 9 They can't even keep their own bodies up. Not only are you going to suffocate suffocate them, they're going to suffocate themselves.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 11 How selfish are you?

Speaker 9 I hate that. Flood the comments.

Speaker 10 You're wrong.

Speaker 6 And some people just feel like also that, you know, when you get to that age, at four months old, they no longer need to eat every three hours. They can do a eight or a 10-hour stretch without eating.

Speaker 6 And so that's usually when sleep training comes in, because they actually are okay doing a really long stretch if they take like a power bottle before they go to bed.

Speaker 6 And my wife, and it's just what's worked for us, and all families are wonderful and different.

Speaker 6 We sort of, with the help of our pediatrician, she was like, if you do it now, it's going to be a horrible three days because you're going to feel bad and you want the baby to be okay.

Speaker 6 But she's like, the baby will then be sleeping 10 to 12 hour stretches and be in such a good mood. It'll be good for their health.
They'll just feel so good having this great sleep.

Speaker 6 So if you can, and if your baby reveals that it's right for them, I would suggest it. And we did.
And it's it's been wonderful.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I think it's, it's tough, but you got to do it.

Speaker 2 You got to do it.

Speaker 9 And of course, I would assume after a very long period of time, you go in to make sure nothing's wrong.

Speaker 2 Of course.

Speaker 9 But, but, like, yeah, you, it's called letting the baby cry out.

Speaker 11 Is that what, that's what it is, right?

Speaker 6 That's always a controversy, right? There's a lot of schools of thought now of like, you don't let them cry it out. There, you know, if they could be talking to you, they'd be saying why.

Speaker 6 I was like, yeah, because I thought they were saying thank you.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah, but like, of course they're going to be able to do that.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but like, you, but you obviously go through a checklist. You're like, okay, do they need their diaper changed? Okay, do they have a gas bubble? Do they need to be burped?

Speaker 9 Okay, do they lose their pacifier or whatever it may be? But then after your checklist, if they're just crying, they probably miss you. But at the end of the day, you need them to sleep.

Speaker 9 They need to sleep.

Speaker 6 We have friends going through it right now. My wife's wonderful, longtime family friends, and they have the wonderful, their daughter, Jonah, who's so cute.

Speaker 6 And, you know, it was just Jonah's about six months old. And I think they were getting to that point of like, we want to do it, but of course, it's hard for parents to let their kids cry a little.

Speaker 6 And, and my wife was literally like, give it 10 minutes. Try for, see if you can tub it out for 10 minutes.

Speaker 6 And they were like, at nine minutes, 30, we were like, that's it. We're never doing this again.
Paige is nuts. And at 10 minutes, one second, she fell asleep.

Speaker 6 Like, and unfortunately, look, sometimes it can be 40 minutes and that stinks.

Speaker 6 But I think there's also a thing with your child where you become very keyed into their cries and they have different cries.

Speaker 6 And you can tell, like, I can tell when my little guy, like, when he is putting on a Daniel Day-Lewis Timote Chalamé caliber show for us, and I'm like, those are some gorgeous tears. Well done.

Speaker 6 Like, you're a better actor than your father, and it ain't hard. And then other times he'll cry for a second and you'll blaze in because you'll be like, nope, that's different.

Speaker 2 You just know.

Speaker 9 You just know.

Speaker 9 know you just know and i know everybody's gonna come in the comments don't relate your dog to a kid crate training a dog is an emotional process you do have to let them cry for a significant period of time i'm not saying it's the same thing i'm not saying it's apples to apples but once you get through the crate training process and then they're sleeping they're sleeping better and they're no longer crying it has to be slight slightly similar It's totally similar.

Speaker 6 And I just think people need to just, whatever works for them is great. But the reality is, I told you, my friend Luca, shout out Luca.
I hope you're listening. He has an unacceptable dog.

Speaker 6 He has a 90-pound giant golden, whatever the hell. And Duncan, named after Duncan Donuts, shout out.
Nice name. Duncan is a nice dog who still has his balls and humps me.

Speaker 6 all day, every day when I'm over at the house. The dog is completely untrained and it's 90 pounds.
It's an unacceptable dog. I don't go over.
I'm not coming over, Luca. You can't make me.
Like,

Speaker 6 you have to train these dogs.

Speaker 9 Have to. Unacceptable.
We have a neighbor, awful neighbor, Josh, that recently moved in. They have two wiener dogs.
These dogs don't shut the fuck up.

Speaker 9 You hear a door, a doorbell rings. Our doorbell rings.
I hear through the walls their dog.

Speaker 10 Awful,

Speaker 2 awful dogs.

Speaker 9 Like, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 2 Non-stop.

Speaker 4 If you can't have a dog, don't.

Speaker 10 Horrible. Don't have a dog.

Speaker 2 Horrible.

Speaker 11 And neuter your dogs. It's not right.

Speaker 9 Unless you live in Montana, it's just you and the dog. If you live in the city, you have to neuter your dog.

Speaker 4 Otherwise, it's like Jesus.

Speaker 9 It's like Mary, Josh. All of a sudden, your pooch is going to come home.
She's pregnant. Yes.

Speaker 2 Not right.

Speaker 6 Like Bob Barker said, get your dogs spayed and neutered. I think that's cats.

Speaker 6 Dr. Taz Bhatia, a board-certified integrative medicine physician based in Atlanta, recently shared the items that she says mimic Ozempic, Wagovi, Munjaro, and Munjaro.

Speaker 6 Okay, the first one is foods high in MCT oil, omega-3 fats, and omega-9 fats. So MCT oil, it's coconut oil.

Speaker 4 Coconut oil.

Speaker 9 Believe me, Josh, I've been on the MCT oil grind in my keto season days. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 I was putting that shit in my coffee.

Speaker 6 Of course, gotta.

Speaker 6 He loves a health trend. Next one is berries, berries.

Speaker 6 Berry Sanders, berries. They can reduce inflammation and improve the overall oxidation of the body.
And there's a lot of fiber.

Speaker 9 But they're not stopping you from eating. What the hell kind of crock is this? Eat berries.
That doesn't have the same effect as Ozempic.

Speaker 6 Hear me out. Chia seeds.
Number three, chia seeds. They've got lots of fiber and healthy fats.

Speaker 2 This is a crock. I'm sorry, Dr.
Batia.

Speaker 6 It's ridiculous.

Speaker 9 I'm sorry. And I liked you, Dr.
Batia, too. I liked your name.
I trusted you. And now I don't trust you anymore.

Speaker 9 Like chia seeds, I probably hold the record for the most chia seed pudding eaten in one sitting. I love chia seeds.

Speaker 6 Same here. Do you have a chia sponsor?

Speaker 9 I love chia. I'm in.
I'm in, but it certainly does not stop you from wanting to eat. I want to eat more chia.

Speaker 6 And it's so calorically dense.

Speaker 2 It's awful. Awful.
Not good.

Speaker 2 Not good.

Speaker 9 Something delicious, Josh. Last night I get a text from my dad.
Hey, I just dropped off a cork container of rice pudding at your door, man. What a sweet man.

Speaker 2 Oh my God.

Speaker 6 We're going to call your dad Aidash.

Speaker 9 He actually, he wrote, I just dropped off a cork and dancer of rice pudding and a couple of Bangladeshi treats.

Speaker 6 Bangladeshi treats.

Speaker 4 Bangladesh cookies.

Speaker 6 Yum. What are they like? Are they like pistachio?

Speaker 4 No, they were like jasmine honey.

Speaker 9 Honestly, they were just regular, like soft cookies, like or regular, like hard, like vanilla-y cookies.

Speaker 9 I don't really know what made, maybe they were from, like, I don't know what made them Bangladesh.

Speaker 6 What else did your father recently drop off of your house? Russian dressing? There was some other.

Speaker 9 Vodka sauce. Vodka sauce.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 He's so funny. Like, hey, I just dropped a cork container of tuna at your doorman.
Thanks. I'm out of town.

Speaker 2 I come back.

Speaker 2 It's moldy.

Speaker 6 Benjamin, it's your father.

Speaker 6 It's Oidash here. I'm outside.

Speaker 6 Give me five stars. Hey-oh.

Speaker 6 It's a great name for a Jewish DoorDash, Oidash.

Speaker 6 I've included a smaller container for your doorman. Jesus.

Speaker 2 He's hysterical. He's never had anything like this.

Speaker 6 I said it's like paella, but Jewish. He didn't understand.

Speaker 4 How good is rice pudding?

Speaker 6 Oh, beyond. Cozy Shack? What's it called? Cozy Shack.

Speaker 10 A plus.

Speaker 9 There was this place in the city. Did you ever go to Rice to Riches?

Speaker 6 In the village?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they had it on an episode of Girls 2, I think.

Speaker 9 They closed down because I'm pretty sure it was mafia.

Speaker 9 It was just like 100% money laundering scheme. But man, rice to riches.

Speaker 2 Oof.

Speaker 9 It was like the cold stone creamery for those that don't know of rice pudding. Very niche.

Speaker 2 Very good.

Speaker 6 The X-rated swinging symbol on cruises you might not know about. Here's how to spot it.

Speaker 6 Recently, on the Adriatic Gems of the Holland America Line cruise ship, this person learned that, oh my God, what kind of article is this? Let's just get to it.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 6 I just, I'm like, where's the symbol?

Speaker 2 Oh, my God.

Speaker 6 This is like, I think Royal Caribbean paid for this. This is just like, people should probably.

Speaker 6 They probably did, Josh.

Speaker 9 You're probably reading a paid ad.

Speaker 6 What is the symbol? for swingers on a cruise. That was definitely a paid ad, and I feel hoodwinked.

Speaker 9 What is it?

Speaker 2 Oh, is it like a banana or something?

Speaker 6 Upside down pineapple. Upside down the cabin door.

Speaker 11 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is.

Speaker 9 Upside down pineapple.

Speaker 6 I mean, how is that not like a rom-com with Vince Vaughan? Like, swingers hook up the first night on a cruise, it goes poorly, and now they have 13 more nights together on the same cruise.

Speaker 2 It's the, I'm in.

Speaker 9 I'm all in.

Speaker 6 That's, I mean, that's a layup. Well, I'm cougar swapping toy boys with my friends.
Men my age have too much baggage and are bad in bed. God bless you, New York Post.

Speaker 6 This cougar is sharpening her claws.

Speaker 2 I have that.

Speaker 6 After seven years and dating dud dudes her own age, Haley Hooper, 38. Wait, 38-year-olds are cougars?

Speaker 2 Fuck.

Speaker 2 I'm old.

Speaker 6 She's setting her sights on fellas who are a little younger. Guys my age don't want anything fun, the part-time nurse and part-time stripper complains.

Speaker 2 Let's balance.

Speaker 6 All they want is some kind of stepmom for their kids, and they always bring along baggage from

Speaker 6 being with their ex-wives. She further moaned.
More often than not, though, they're just so judgmental.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they're hooking up with 21-year-olds who they said had to save up for dinner, but it was worth it when it got to the bedroom.

Speaker 9 Oh my.

Speaker 6 Whoa, dirty birdies.

Speaker 9 I will say, Josh, 38-not a cougar. No,

Speaker 9 No, and a 38-year-old on a 21-year-old is what we call a predator.

Speaker 2 Hmm? No?

Speaker 9 Is that not predatory?

Speaker 6 Yes. Sorry.
I was trying to understand. Yeah.
I mean, it is. I don't know.
Maybe it's a double standard.

Speaker 9 I think it's a double standard.

Speaker 9 I think 21 is way too young.

Speaker 2 It is.

Speaker 9 Way too young. It would be so different if it was 50, even 50 and 25.
I feel 100 times better than 38 and 21.

Speaker 2 Would you agree?

Speaker 6 Olivia?

Speaker 3 I think there's just so much that happens in like the first half of your 20s. It's like a really transformative period, and a lot of life lessons are learned during that time.

Speaker 3 And like, I don't know, when I was 21, I was like a junior in college, like, you know, maybe like nearing graduation, but not quite.

Speaker 3 So, like, I don't know, you're just still in like a totally different headspace. So it feels kind of weird.

Speaker 3 I would even be more comfortable with like 24, 23, but like 21 just feels like you're literally, you just are now allowed to have a drink in a bar legally.

Speaker 4 You're a baby. Yeah.
you're a baby like it's

Speaker 3 even if you like i just it's too young it's too young you need to be able to make your own mistakes and like learn and live your own life and not yeah it's too young

Speaker 6 yeah i think it's too young i agree and i know i totally hear and understand and agree with you guys i guess like my brain goes to like wow like 21 year old boys are such idiot knuckleheads that like an older woman could really like teach them some important important lessons but of course just using them physically, that's where the double standard comes in.

Speaker 6 And I don't think that's cool at all.

Speaker 4 Look, good for the boys.

Speaker 9 I'm not saying it's not, it's not great. Like, it's good for them.
It's

Speaker 9 21-year-old boys might as well be 15.

Speaker 2 Totally.

Speaker 9 Like, like, you're so, so stupid until you reach your mid to late 20s. Like, and then you're still pretty dumb.
But it's, yeah, it just feels like babies. I don't know.

Speaker 9 I prefer larger age gaps of older, like 55 and 30 or 60 and 30 feels better.

Speaker 6 Totally. Like I was 18 and the girl was 30 when I lost my virginity.
Is that that's that's wild.

Speaker 2 That's wild. Yeah.
Yeah. That's pretty wild.
Wow. That's why you bleep this.
Thank you.

Speaker 6 And you really helped me.

Speaker 2 It was,

Speaker 6 don't feel bad. I needed it and you did it and I appreciate it.
And then you got obsessed with me and threatened to call my mother. But other than that, it was great.

Speaker 6 It was so bad.

Speaker 2 Oh my God.

Speaker 2 I need more, honestly. I haven't heard this story.
You haven't?

Speaker 9 No.

Speaker 6 Oh, that's a cliffhanger for next week because we're going to need half an episode for that one.

Speaker 2 It's fine. Great.

Speaker 9 Next week, Josh loses his virginity to

Speaker 6 shout out.

Speaker 6 And moms, don't listen to this episode.

Speaker 6 should we get to a speakpipe yeah if you want any advice if you want to ask us questions keep it brief brevity is key and go to speakpipe.com slash good guys

Speaker 6 here's one from anonymous

Speaker 13 Hey, Josh, I'm Ben. I'm one of your three non-Jewish listeners.

Speaker 13 And anyway, I need some advice from giving and taking criticism because my husband and I recently got married and neither one of us is good at giving or taking criticism.

Speaker 13 And criticism is a strong word because sometimes it's just like, hey, this little thing you did kind of hurt my feelings. And we both end up crying.

Speaker 13 So what can we do to give and take criticism better in our marriage? Thanks. Love you.
Bye.

Speaker 9 We didn't even get an example.

Speaker 6 I know, but they're apparently crying over their criticisms.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 9 Well, if it's worth, if it's going to make you cry, like, it better be worth it. I think that's like my message.

Speaker 9 Like, you're going to, especially early on in a relationship, early on in a marriage, a lot of things are going to bother you a lot.

Speaker 9 And I think it's very important to weed out what is really important.

Speaker 9 And if it's going to make them cry, it's probably like probably not worth it. Like, I would just swallow it until it hopefully goes away.
And then if it never goes away, you have bigger problems.

Speaker 9 But I do find that the longer you're with someone, like those little things end up sort of fixing themselves as you get to know each other.

Speaker 6 I really believe in communication. And I think, I think if there's a way to throw things out there and let them stick and give someone...
I would love to recover quickly. That's how I do.

Speaker 6 I would love to know. I've had to make my peace with that people recover at different speeds.
Men and women are different.

Speaker 6 Because my whole thing is like, let's like have it out and hard and full out and celebrate with a canodo.

Speaker 2 And like,

Speaker 6 but that's like my total, is that Olivia? Is that just my total man brain?

Speaker 3 I don't know. So you're saying like you get in an art, you want to just like hash it all out, put it out there, and then you want to make up, like kiss and make up.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like I want to dump it. Like I really want to communicate and not let it fester.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Let's get it out now. And then, like, let's quickly move on.
And, like, let's make a declaration of our love.

Speaker 4 It's like us, Josh.

Speaker 2 Yeah. People don't know.
Josh and I got in our first little fight

Speaker 9 last week. We had it out and then we had a love fest.
Except there was no sex because we're too far away.

Speaker 2 I know. Next.
We are in person, though.

Speaker 10 You would never know.

Speaker 6 We got to make sure to fight when we're on the same coast. Yeah, we got into a spat over in our group chat with Olivia.
And I literally was like, Ben, take this offline.

Speaker 9 And we did and we had our stat and it was over. I will say, I know Olivia hasn't answered yet.
It's not gender.

Speaker 9 It's by the person because my wife is the biggest, let's have it out and be done with it. Right.
She does not want to think about this tomorrow.

Speaker 9 And I definitely was more of a, I'm going to think about this tomorrow. And now I'm on the side, I think I've learned from her, I'm on the side of once it's done, it's done.

Speaker 9 And it's a much more pleasant way to live.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I agree. I don't think that it's gendered.
Ethan's definitely more like that. Like, he wants to just put it all out all out on the table at once and like, let's hash through it.

Speaker 3 And I think in the past, I was very much like, I'm going to hold on to this until it's the perfect time to like discuss it.

Speaker 3 And I'm going to overthink everything and like be very, very gentle in my approach and so on and so forth.

Speaker 3 But I think there really is something to like a blend of it where it's like, okay, let's pick a time where we can like both kind of come to this conversation and like we're both ready to have it.

Speaker 3 But also also like you can't wait too long and you can't wait because there'll never be a perfect time.

Speaker 3 So if you can try to find, you know, a time where you're both in the right space to be able to communicate and not like blow up on each other, that's great.

Speaker 3 But, you know, life together, things happen. And I think it's just important to like be transparent and then, yeah, you know, make up and move on from it.
Let it go the best you can.

Speaker 3 But, or, you know, grow from it. And if it's a bigger problem, it's a bigger problem.
But that's my two cents.

Speaker 9 It's a great two cents.

Speaker 9 And what's interesting is the people who hold on to things, I think are only hurting themselves because you're the only one thinking about it, especially if you're arguing with somebody who forgets it immediately.

Speaker 9 Like then you are the only one poisoning you with that information. So I think that if you're with somebody that likes to fight and forget, you got to fight and forget.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And I think it becomes habitual and you get into a good rhythm.
It's like working out. It hurts at first.

Speaker 6 But when you get good at communicating, my wife and I, we have very different ways in which we confront things. And I can be too confrontational.
And maybe sometimes she's not enough.

Speaker 6 And so sometimes she'll be like, why?

Speaker 6 You know, I will feel like if I don't bring it up, it just will go unsaid because, you know, she's better at just like dealing with it on her own, where I feel the need to like, let's confront this.

Speaker 6 Let's have it out. And so sometimes it will become a thing where my wife will say, like, well, why am I the bad guy? Like, why is it always you bringing this up about something I did?

Speaker 6 And I'm like, because if I'm the only one bringing it up, when I do, I'm not going to go, oh, I'm I'm so mad at me.

Speaker 6 You know what I mean? Like, yes, if I'm the only one bringing it up, it will feel one-sided. But like, please feel free to bring it up when I'm being annoying.

Speaker 6 And if we get into a better habit of that, then it won't fester and it won't feel as big when we finally have it out.

Speaker 9 Yes, agreed. If something's bothering you, confront it.

Speaker 11 Don't let it fester.

Speaker 4 It'll eat away at your soul.

Speaker 6 No gun. You know what else eats away at your soul? This next speak vibe.

Speaker 14 Hey, Josh and Ben, longtime moron and toaster. Quick question for Ben.
I am a fellow GLP-1 medication person, and I find the night before I take my shot absolutely miserable.

Speaker 14 I'm ravenous, and I want to eat quite possibly everything in sight. Any tips to help me overcome this?

Speaker 2 Thanks. Love the pod.

Speaker 9 To actually overcome it, take your shot earlier. This is a totally normal thing and people do it.
Like if you are struggling by day seven, take it every five days. Like it's a normal thing.

Speaker 9 You can ask your doctor, but that is recommended. I,

Speaker 4 because

Speaker 1 I love it, I love the seventh day and I wait for it so that I can eat.

Speaker 9 But that's why I'm probably not losing any weight because the first five days I'm losing so much weight and then day six and day seven, I'm putting it all back on.

Speaker 9 So really, I should listen to my own advice and take the shot every five days, but take the shot earlier. It'll really help.

Speaker 9 And it is miserable, like losing all of your progress that you worked so hard for over that last day, but I love it.

Speaker 2 It's also a reward.

Speaker 4 I love that stuff.

Speaker 9 I've been having in general, just like a difficult time lately after dinner, which I used to have really under control.

Speaker 9 I mentioned this like as a joke with Nicole Beyer about the yogurt, but I am having far too much Greek yogurt.

Speaker 6 I just like the taste, but I'm having too much of it this is more there's no advice to give i just need to eat less yogurt it's me to me eat less yogurt at night i want to okay let me tell you what i ate yesterday and this is a perfect day of eating for me okay i woke up and around 7 30 8 o'clock i ate a big bowl of oatmeal with the hemp seeds and the chia seeds and i mix in like some strawberry protein so it flavors it a little bit of peanut butter yummy it easily a seven or eight hundred calorie bowl of oatmeal.

Speaker 6 So good. And I'm not hungry.
I don't think about food again.

Speaker 6 And then it's like one o'clock, and I was going home, and there's this amazing Japanese market, and they have a Japanese food court with a ramen stall and a tempura stall, and like all these places that I love.

Speaker 6 So I had a spicy tuna roll. I had a like this garlic tofu bowl with rice and sauteed garlic tofu and onions, some gyoza deep fried.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 6 then as I was leaving, there was this bakery and they had a cream coronet.

Speaker 6 Coronet. I'm like, that's nuts.
What the fuck is that? And it was like a, easily a 700 calorie pastry with thick, rich, you know, like just crazy, crazy.

Speaker 6 And I said, I'm going to eat this all on my way to the car. And I did.

Speaker 6 And I didn't eat another thing after two o'clock. Had a really good workout.
Didn't feel bad at all.

Speaker 2 Felt great.

Speaker 9 No, what you see, what you just described, 99.9% of people cannot do.

Speaker 6 Okay, say more.

Speaker 2 It's...

Speaker 6 I'm so unique.

Speaker 9 If you have that cornet at 2 o'clock,

Speaker 9 you are like the normal person is ordering. General Chow's chicken for dinner and they're like they've they've given up on their day.

Speaker 4 Really? It's yes.

Speaker 9 And what you do great, which is the number one thing that I think keeps you fit, is that you stop eating so early. I'm 100%

Speaker 9 sure that none of my calories count seriously between the hours of 12 and 5. And I can't.
And if I could just limit it to 12 and 5, I could have 5,000 calories a day and lose weight. I know it.

Speaker 9 I know it for a fact. But because I eat and most people are trained to eat all the way up until they go to bed, that's where all the weight is gained.

Speaker 9 So, yeah, you eat whatever you want during the hours of seven to two.

Speaker 2 You're great.

Speaker 9 Like, it's not, who cares?

Speaker 9 You had your nice sweet treat, but the fact that you didn't need to then ruin your day because of the sweet treat, that means that you just have a good relationship with food.

Speaker 6 Cream coronet.

Speaker 9 I need a cream coronet. I also need cream corn.

Speaker 2 Cream coronet.

Speaker 9 Imagine a cream corn-filled cream coronet.

Speaker 2 So good.

Speaker 6 That sounds amazing.

Speaker 2 Okay,

Speaker 6 we finally figure out a business. The start it closes in one day.

Speaker 2 Creamed cornets.

Speaker 2 Cream cornettes.

Speaker 6 Oh my God. The New Jersey cream cornets.

Speaker 2 We start a basketball team.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 6 Last one from, I don't know.

Speaker 15 Hey, good guys. Just went through a breakup about a week ago.
It was over the phone, which is fine because we live four hours apart, so not that big of a deal.

Speaker 6 Known him for about a year.

Speaker 15 We were dating for three months, so we were friends beforehand. And I was always worried that the relationship was going to ruin the friendship, and it did.

Speaker 15 But he said immediately when he broke up with me that he wasn't interested in being friends anymore, and because he thinks that's awkward after you're in a relationship with somebody, and I disagree, but I didn't want to fight it and make it awkward for him trying to force a friendship.

Speaker 15 But I kind of miss talking to him all the time and just telling him about like daily life stuff. So is it weird if I reach out to him and ask him if he'd be interested in being friends?

Speaker 15 Or should I just let this fizzle out and be a thing of the past? Thanks, good guys.

Speaker 11 This is sad.

Speaker 9 I'm torn. I think that you're two completely different types of people.
You sound like a lovely, lovely lady. And the fact that you could

Speaker 9 just have like a nice friendship with this person means that it means a great deal about you.

Speaker 9 I think that the person you're dating is significantly less mature than you and or was significantly more in love with you in different ways than you were with him. There's clearly two ships passing.

Speaker 9 There's a miss, but I think that if one person is uncomfortable with it, obviously you're not going to, you're not going to change his mind. I think you just got to drop it.

Speaker 11 But it's a sad story, Josh.

Speaker 6 I remember I once dated a girl and we went kind of back and forth for a year after that. And I remember I text her like six months after that.
And I was like, can we just be friends?

Speaker 6 And she was like, I can't be your friend. And I remember that was like, I respected her for putting that boundary up because we had kind of gone back and forth.

Speaker 6 But I'd been the one who was like doing the breaking up and just young and didn't want to be committed. And she was hurt.
And she was like, no, I can't do that. So yeah, I think that it's really hard.

Speaker 6 It's especially hard if you don't, I'm, I'm always of the mind, like, well, we didn't get into it to be friends. You know, like we had a different thing.

Speaker 6 I think if you're friends for a long time and then maybe it becomes physical for a little, maybe you can sustain the friendship, but otherwise I just think it's a, it's a tough thing.

Speaker 6 And, and I would also check your motives because there might be a part of you that's like, I swear I just want to be friends. And if we somehow got back together, cool.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Agreed.

Speaker 6 You know?

Speaker 11 It's tough.

Speaker 6 I hope she finds a new friend.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Do you have what are you nuts? I do.

Speaker 11 I do.

Speaker 9 Our what are you nuts moment? People, places, and things, gripes with humanity, something sticking in you. You look at somebody on the street, you're like, you're a moron.

Speaker 9 That's what are you nuts, okay?

Speaker 9 I have definitely told this before, but it's something that needs to be said more than once. And it's going to sound like me, pompous Ben celebrity.

Speaker 11 It is what it is.

Speaker 9 If I'm having lunch, I have my mouth full. And you come up and you say, hey, I'm so sorry to interrupt you while you're eating.
And then start a conversation. Don't tell me you're sorry.

Speaker 9 Don't tell me that you're sorry for interrupting while I'm eating because you're not sorry because my mouth is full. I'm eating.
I have an omelette hanging out of my mouth. You're not sorry.

Speaker 9 And that's totally fine. Nobody needs to apologize.

Speaker 11 Nobody needs to say sorry.

Speaker 4 Just say, come say hi.

Speaker 9 Next time, just come say hi. But I don't want this song and dance.
Oh, I'm so sorry for bothering you.

Speaker 2 But you're not.

Speaker 9 You're not sorry.

Speaker 2 Otherwise, you wouldn't have bothered me.

Speaker 9 What are you nuts?

Speaker 6 One thing about Ben loves his fans.

Speaker 2 I'm like, Robbie Hoffman, leave me alone.
