Speaker 1 Whoa. This episode is sponsored by Samsung.
Make sure to get your Galaxy S25 Ultra at Samsung.com. Benjamin, how are you? I'm splendid, Joshua.
How are you? I'm better now. I'm better now.

Speaker 1 I don't know what was wrong before, but I'm better now. Tell me, what's on your mind? Nothing.
What's beating away at you? What's keeping you up at night? What's giving you the night shivers?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I mean, I might up my antidepressants, but other than that, everything's fine.
I've been, speaking of taking pills, I've gone off of magnesium completely.

Speaker 1 And Josh, I have stopped taking creatine. I have.
Why? You are bloating. No, it's not that.
I just wasn't going to the gym.

Speaker 1 And Claudia would look at me and she's like, what the fuck are you taking creatine for if you're not going to the gym? And I'm like, the mental benefits.

Speaker 1 And she's like, you can't take creatine if you're not going to go to the gym. So So, what I said to her was, that's fair.
I will take creatine when I plan on actually going to the gym.

Speaker 1 And hopefully, I can get into a nice rhythm and then just be taking creatine. But I took creatine like five, straight days, and I didn't go to the gym.
Like, I don't know. She didn't like it.

Speaker 1 What do you like? What does she care?

Speaker 1 She cares. She's worried.
She thinks it's going to kill me. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 What about?

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 wow. Yeah.
It's an interesting line to take that creatine was the thing that she was like.

Speaker 1 This, I'm putting my foot down. The Cypriani cake in bed, it's fine.
She wasn't putting it.

Speaker 1 It's funny. She wasn't putting her foot down, but she said it enough times.
I was like, all right. Clearly, you seem to be uncomfortable.
I think she just doesn't like the way that it looks.

Speaker 1 I think that she just, like, she sees a white powder. She thinks I'm doing drugs.
I'm not going to lie, though, I felt, I felt worse today. I felt worse.
I like the feeling of creatine.

Speaker 1 It makes you feel like big and alive. I'm going to take it again tomorrow.
It's highly, highly researched.

Speaker 1 If it was almost anything else, I'd be like, ah, well, yeah, you never know, but it's pretty darn researched. And other than the bloating, I'm not sure of a lot of negative effects.

Speaker 1 I didn't see bloating, and maybe that's because I'm always bloated. Like, when are you not, when am I not bloated? Title, resting bloated.
I'm always bloated.

Speaker 1 So, like, what's what maybe creatine made me not bloated? Like, I'm so bloated that the creatine was an an anti-bloat. Is it bad that Claudia cares too much

Speaker 1 that my wife doesn't give a fuck? Like,

Speaker 1 I could be smoking creatine and she'd be like, did you take out the trash?

Speaker 1 Could you imagine? I'm such a drug addict. I started.

Speaker 1 You start smoking creatine in a bite

Speaker 1 outside of a bally's.

Speaker 1 Were you hitting fucking delts or what, pussy?

Speaker 1 Can you snort creatine for the same effect? You can snort anything, but if you're willing to deal with the pain,

Speaker 1 yeah, you can. I love it.
I mean, not to get too druggy. Great.
I can't wait for this episode to get flagged on YouTube, but

Speaker 1 that's good. But the thing that you don't realize is because, you know, when people do the gucks, you know, the devil's dandruff, the cocaine, there's cane in it, right?

Speaker 1 The cane part of it is lidocaine, novocaine.

Speaker 1 It it has a numbing agent it's used in medical procedures for like ear nose and throat surgery because it is a localized numbing agent and if you were to snort other drugs that do not have the cane aspect it's so much more painful because there's no numbing to it that's why so I've heard your nose goes a little numb because of the cane.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's right. That's what I've read online.
Yes.

Speaker 1 That's what I've read. And so, and the coke part, what is that? It's coca leaves.
Interesting.

Speaker 1 Interesting. Okay.

Speaker 1 And a fun fact is, and I believe this is true,

Speaker 1 that Coca-Cola, I believe, I think I read this, that they actually make,

Speaker 1 because in the process of refining the cocoa out of the coca leaves, there is a byproduct of the ability in which to make cocaine, which was what people talked about hundreds of years ago.

Speaker 1 Wow. They actually have a medical, a very small medical subsidiary that makes medical grade cocaine for surgeries.
Wow. Yeah.
Holy crap. We can't waste this.

Speaker 1 And then the CEO of Coke's like, let me try.

Speaker 1 Could you imagine medical grade? Yikes. No, that'll, that'll knock you off your feet.
Or put you on your feet, send you straight to Boogie Town.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Booger Sugar. At this point in my life, it is so darn scary to do anything like that that I just, I like my heart skips a beat talking about it.
So then let's not. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 No, I'm fine. I don't want to skip a beat.
Doesn't it scare you? I mean, I know you only stopped doing it three months ago, but doesn't it scare you? It's been years. Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 And yeah, it's horrifying. Honestly, the second that, the second that people started dying,

Speaker 1 it was like, okay, not that fun, not that fun. And to watch people still do it after people were dying, it's like, oh, you, you don't, you don't care that much about your life.

Speaker 1 Like, and these aren't, these weren't drug addicts. These were just people that, like, I guess maybe they were, were addicted if they couldn't, or they didn't want to stop.

Speaker 1 But the second that you found out that people were dying of fentanyl, like that to me is, it's no longer fun.

Speaker 1 Like, imagine if, again, Coca-Cola or any kind of soft drink, you knew that there was a, there was a chance that upon the second that you drink it, you're dead. Like it's a fact.

Speaker 1 You're not going to drink it anymore because it's not worth it, right? Like, so yeah, definitely scary. It's a bug out for sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I think like back in my day, like people would always cite Len Bias, who was the, it was a star basketball player who tried something once and he died. And I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 I think it's the fact that like in most people until you're 25, not in most people, this is all all people your prefrontal cortex isn't fully formed so your ability in which to compute risk is not as well formed as it is once you get in your late 20s and 30s this is why we send young men to war right it's true because they're just like funny but yes yes let's get after it you know like they don't understand like the true implications of these things so i don't know i i think no matter what just kids will always be dumb yeah right yeah but yeah but be dumb and have fun but find less scary ways to be dumb i don't know what's your tactic with your beautiful child to be brokashem with that kind of stuff like do you have you even started thinking about it no because it's so it's it's crazy to think that like at some point he will be big enough to like do those things but like i don't know i i think you just gotta parent to the best of your ability and raise a good kid and teach them right from wrong And I hope like my number one thing is that I have instilled enough trust and not too much fear to the point that he could come to me to ask me anything.

Speaker 1 Like I feel like I will have failed if you can't come to me and ask me anything. Like I'm a judgment-free zone.
Come to me and then I will tell you why it's wrong. But I always, I always hated that.

Speaker 1 Like I have that relationship with my parents. Feel very lucky in that.

Speaker 1 Like that if I went to them i feel like i could ask them anything would i be embarrassed asking them sure but like i could ask them i could have my whole life asked them anything and i i feel like when you don't have that relationship and you don't have the ability to have that conversation with your parent or parents that that's when things sort of go awry like when you can't gut check like oh is this a bad idea oh i did this what do i do and then it like compounds your problem so long winded answer but like I just want to build trust what do you think it's it's a really hard thing I think it's 90% of it is in your parenting throughout every situation before they come to that crossroads right you set them up as a person totally you model through behavior I agree like I don't think you can overly scare someone out of it I think My big thing too is like they've seen now in studies, like smoking weed even, which I would imagine is pretty benign and I actually think is medicinal in some cases before you're 25, again, as your prefrontal cortex is sort of developing and finalizing, marijuana really inhibits a lot of sort of that fine finishing that's required.

Speaker 1 Like there's major implications of doing drugs before you're 25 where you will actually hurt yourself in the long run.

Speaker 1 Whereas if you weren't, if you were like, I'm going to dabble, but at 28, it's just going to have much less deleterious effects than doing it at 16, 17, 18, 19 when people start to do it.

Speaker 1 I would make that clear. Yeah.
But I also, I really do believe in this. Like you can't be overly scary to your kids and you certainly don't want to like put them in a state of fear.

Speaker 1 You want them to feel they can come to you with anything. But your kids need to know when they're teenagers that you can sufficiently fuck up their lives if they fuck around.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And there are too many parents who forego discipline because it would be an inconvenience to their life to take their kid's car away.

Speaker 1 Cause it's like, well, yeah, but then I got to drive them to school. It's like, yeah, like you're now going to get dropped off at 17, like by your parent because you fucked up.
And like,

Speaker 1 you're going to have to figure out like how to get in touch with me other than a phone because you're not going to have that. Or you're not, or they'll be like, well, I can't take the internet away.

Speaker 1 Like, how are they going to do their homework? I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 But like, I just, I'm a big believer in if your kid fucks up, like, inconveniencing them majorly because you're the parent so that they learn. Of course.
Otherwise, they're never going to learn.

Speaker 1 I also, I'm sure you grew up with this type of parent or your friends. You grew up with this kid who had this type of parent, which is like, I don't care what you do as long as you do it in my house.

Speaker 1 And to me, that is fucking insane. Totally.
Like, are you crazy? Like, no, I, I don't want you, I don't want you smoking weed in my house.

Speaker 1 Like, at least, like, the whole point of, in my opinion, like, adolescent experimentation is like, you feel like, ooh, it's a bad thing. I'm trying it once.
I drank at a party. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 If you can drink at home, that's you're raising an alcoholic. Like, you can only have drinks if it's with me every night.
Totally. You can only smoke in your room and I'll buy you the pound.

Speaker 1 Just want to make sure I can see you. It's like, are you, are you stupid? Like, it's drinking about liquor.
Have a cosmo with mom. Yeah.
don't, don't go to parties. I want to watch you party.

Speaker 1 I'm a cool mom. Like, no, you won't be having parties at my house with alcohol and drugs.
You will have

Speaker 1 my umbrella policy. You'll have a pizza party.

Speaker 1 We'll watch a movie. You want to

Speaker 1 rent Terminator, which gave me nightmares when I was eight? Sure. We can have a movie party.
No drugs and alcohol in my house. Wouldn't you nuts? All Amazon Prime board games.

Speaker 1 We can, yeah, we can cook.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I want to, and to my in-law's credit, they had the house where everyone came to eat.
And that's huge. Like, huge.
If you know, my mom always talked about this.

Speaker 1 My great Aunt BD growing up, my mom's Aunt Bea, she had, and this is like in the 50s and 60s, but my mom said she would have the cake at a diner on a cake plate with a cover.

Speaker 1 And you just know every three days, that cake was re-upped. There was a new cake.
So you went over to Aunt Beauty's and any time of day, you lift the cover, you take a slice. Oh beautiful.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 Shout out Ambidi. Cake with a cover.
What's better than that? It's so moist. It's so good.
It's so good. I'm telling you, man, there's just so many things that you can do.

Speaker 1 Olivia, are you going to have the drug house with your

Speaker 5 drug house?

Speaker 4 My mom was very like, she tried not to make things taboo for me, but not in like a way that was like, go and do it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 But it wasn't wasn't like, if you, if I ever did anything, she was like, you need to call me if you ever drink at a party or anything. And I want you to know that you can do that.

Speaker 4 Not that you could like, you know, go get drunk or whatever you want, but like, if you're going to like do it in a safe way and like let me know.

Speaker 4 And I didn't end up like drinking or doing anything until I was like a senior in high school.

Speaker 1 So I love it. No.

Speaker 1 That's what my mom, my mom was so, that's not my mom. My mom was so nuts with cigarettes in particular because her dad died of cancer when she was 13 from smoking tons of cigarettes.

Speaker 1 And so she was just very, her number one thing was no cigarettes, no cigarettes, no cigarettes. And I would always ask, I remember, have you ever smoked a cigarette? Never, never smoked a cigarette.

Speaker 1 And I remember me and my sister were going through, my parents have an unbelievable amount of photo albums. We were going through an album and my mom was there with a nice cigarette.

Speaker 1 Fucking chief in a Winston.

Speaker 1 I'll never forget it. It was so good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And that, like, plus, like, as you get older, your parents, maybe they start to let their guard down a little. My parents never never cursed when I was younger.

Speaker 1 So all of a sudden the cursing's coming out. They wouldn't really drink in front of me.
All of a sudden the drinking's coming.

Speaker 1 And it's just funny, like when they start to turn into real people and you realize, oh, like I'm my parents. Like I'm going to be my parents.
I'm going to have kids.

Speaker 1 And like, it is, in my opinion, so important to shelter kids to the best of your ability. Like having a drink every single night at dinner, if you're going to do that yourself, that's fine.

Speaker 1 But doing it in front of your kids makes them think that they should be drinking alcohol with every meal, or they should be smoking all the time, or they should be like, sheltering them is important, in my opinion.

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude, I remember growing up, there was this kid, Bill, in my neighborhood. And when I hung out with Bill, I realized I was sheltered.
Cause Bill,

Speaker 1 Bill's,

Speaker 1 Bill didn't have a dad. Surprise.

Speaker 1 And Bill and his mom, they managed like a storage facility. And so they had a house connected to the storage facility.

Speaker 1 And the way to get into Bill's house was you had to go through the window in his room. And like, Bill was 15, and we were like ripping Coors Lights, smoking sigs, and mom was cool with it.

Speaker 1 And I was like, I don't know if things are going to work out for you, Bill. Yeah, no, like, who names their kid Bill in the mid-2000s,

Speaker 1 Bill, man?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's funny. I had you had had Bill.
I had, I had a, I had a kid named Phil.

Speaker 1 Come on, you had a kid named Meish.

Speaker 1 It was Phil. It's where I saw my first pornography video.
It is, it's always, it's the, the ILs.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you. And the kids whose parents just don't, don't care.
And it's, it's not cool not to care. It's just because it's happening in your house doesn't mean it's not happening.

Speaker 1 You'd rather them be scared. They got to be scared.
These things are scary. My wife always talks about, she's like, I was always worried about letting my parents down.

Speaker 1 She was like, it was less scared because I don't think her parents are like the yelling, you know, grounding type, but they're like very high worth individuals.

Speaker 1 Like they carry themselves in a way and they expect that from their kids. And my wife, who talks about how her and a bunch of her girlfriends were considering sneaking, you know, booze into the prom.

Speaker 1 And at last minute, she chickened out. And because she knew that her dad, her dad was a football coach with the school and the whole thing.

Speaker 1 So he was like connected to the school, but she was like, just the idea of like my dad finding out that I was one of the girls who was getting sauced at the prom.

Speaker 1 And she's like, and those girls got suspended. I think a few of them got like kicked out of school because they all got caught except her.
Wow. Yeah, disappointment.

Speaker 1 Having a parent tell you I'm disappointed in you really hurts. It's like a knife to the heart.
And if it doesn't hurt, then you got problems, but it hurts.

Speaker 1 It hurts. Being judged.
Wow.

Speaker 1 What's better than a French fry, Josh? You know, the only thing better than a French fry is the Galaxy S25 Ultra. I'm so glad you brought it up.
Samsung, Josh. Only thing better than a French fry.

Speaker 1 Because, Josh, this is a true AI companion. We got these phones.
These phones are it, folks. Out with the old, in with the new.

Speaker 1 I have to say for me, sort of the marquee thing that I'm most into about this phone is that it has a 200-megapixel camera, which is absurd, but it also has a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

Speaker 1 So whatever I'm shooting, whether it's a social media video, whether it's just something for my family, like I'm actually getting the best version of it.

Speaker 1 And it's, I can say this totally honestly, it's the best

Speaker 1 camera in a phone I've I've ever seen by far. You don't need anything more.

Speaker 1 And the best part, Josh, is that whether you're making a video for social media, something for your family, I'm cooking up a storm. What always happens, Josh? What's inevitable?

Speaker 1 Sometimes there are people chattering around you. Sometimes there's that extra noise and you don't know how to get rid of it.
So you refilm, right, Josh?

Speaker 1 If there's somebody talking, if Romeo is barking, you got to refilm. You're like, Romeo, what are you, nuts? Can you shut up for one minute? I'm trying to cook.
Okay. I'm trying to cook.

Speaker 1 But folks, what's amazing about this amazing Galaxy device is that there's an audio eraser with Galaxy AI that reduces all of that noise. So regardless, Josh, of what you're doing,

Speaker 1 you don't even have to block out the noise because Galaxy AI does it for you. How easy is that? It's easy, Ina.

Speaker 1 No, it's true. Like AI is incredible.
And I know of some pretty famous filmmakers that I've worked with, no big deal, who use similar features like this

Speaker 1 that allow them them just a freedom when you're dealing with different audio.

Speaker 1 And I have found, and until the S25 Ultra, like it took a long time for, because the cameras were always getting good on phones, but the audio sucked.

Speaker 1 And that was like always the distinguishing factor. But now with this AI feature, you can clean up the audio, you can reduce sort of the outside noise, any sort of weird,

Speaker 1 it's great. What else I love is whether I need to like get recipes or I want to get like the stats from my favorite sports team.
You know, me, all-man Josh over here. I like

Speaker 1 Joshi Sports. Yes, but I love that I can do that.

Speaker 1 I can also just get directions to whatever I need to get directions to, but it's all done in AI, so it's sort of like an upgraded way that a phone can react to the things in which I need and also anticipate what I'm gonna need.

Speaker 1 And in the spirit of AI, it can handle multiple tasks in just one ask, which is the whole idea behind AI. Do anticipate my needs, beige.
I mean my ultra Samsung, not my wife. This isn't the time, me.

Speaker 1 It's the future, folks. It's the future.
It is what it is. It is what it is.
And the Samsung Galaxy makes it that easy.

Speaker 1 I don't mean to cut you off, but I, you know, I, you know, I'm a bit of a stylus king, and I just think that having this cutie babe stylus is fun.

Speaker 1 It's just, first of all, you don't notice it. You don't notice it.

Speaker 1 But when you want to do like something exact for doing sort of those more fine things that you need to do because you have like butchers hands like mine like fat diabetic hands that like you know i'm like

Speaker 1 boom stylus comes in stylus and so josh i just have one question for you are you ready to let ai do more for you so you can do you then get your galaxy s25 ultra now at samsung.com certain features compatible with select apps and require Google Gemini account.

Speaker 1 Olivia?

Speaker 7 150,000.

Speaker 1 You're both right. 150 to 300,000.
I would pay Whoopee $300,000. $150,000 seems too cheap.
By the way, worth it. Worth it.
Oh, my God. Worth it for a minute.
For the pictures alone.

Speaker 1 For the pictures alone. Fabulous.
Fabulous. What about, okay, so we did Whoopee.

Not bad.

Speaker 1 What about 500 grand? It's good. Just don't charge us that to be on our podcast for one hour.
No, please. We can't afford it.

Speaker 1 Okay, what else should we do? Music acts we did. Hootie is not giving it up.
What about, let's see, who do you want to hear? Jewel, the Pentatonics, Fleetwood Mac? Pentatonics,

Speaker 1 150. They got to split it.

Speaker 1 $150,000 to $300,000. Really? What the fuck? Yeah.
Jeter, that's brand degrading. Take that off.

Speaker 1 I know. What about the flying tomato himself, Sean White? Oh, Sean White.

Speaker 1 What's interesting about Sean White is I guess he made a lot of money through endorsements, but he really like his big thing was only twice a year. And you don't really get paid for his big thing.

Speaker 1 I'm just trying to compute, Josh, how much money he really has jeter has so much freaking money why is he doing 150 i guess 150 an hour it's a pretty good rate but sean white if jeter was 150 to 300 200 40 to 75 000.

Speaker 1 oh i'm gonna some i'm gonna cry are you kidding me we did it for way less at the rose and shingle sean you know what a layup it is he's sean he's sean white he's olympian he's a legend i know but listen you know what you're right honestly we did it at rose and and shingle for less i know what were we thinking honestly we should we should put it's on it's it's for it's good clout josh we should sign up for this site minimum 750 see if somebody pays it yes

Speaker 1 we should be 250 000 each or 400 as a pair we give a deal oh i love it yes i love that too don't think 475 i think it's too steep of a deal we'll cut we'll knock 25 off the top i just i oh

Speaker 1 okay and we'll end with this The great Shaq

Speaker 1 O'Neill, owner of Papa John's. What are we thinking?

Speaker 1 He does so much. Like, I think that he, like, he's not going to price himself out because he wants that money.
100 grand.

Speaker 1 $250,000 to $500,000.

Speaker 1 And you know, he's doing 20 of those a year. So smart.
So smart. Oh, what a legend.
Shaq, the big diesel. Good evening real estate agents of southern california

Speaker 1 good evening oral hygienists of central florida

Speaker 1 oh man oh he's so cool i mean

Speaker 1 it's just so easy to make money when you're that that famous. I know.
And there are only a couple of people that can put their name on everything and it still means something.

Speaker 1 It's him, Snoop, and Martha. I don't know anybody else.
And The Rock. That's the fourth.
Yeah. Where they can just put their name on anything.

Speaker 1 Otherwise, most people, you put your name on too much stuff. It no longer means anything.
You're done. Shaq can put his name on anything.
So true.

Speaker 1 What about we don't talk sports a lot, but a massive, major trade in the NBA happened last week. Yeah.
Luca Doncic, the, the, is that right? Doncic, Doncic. Doncic.
It's fine.

Speaker 1 Same thing.

Speaker 1 Luca, who was the centerpiece of the Dallas Mavericks. I mean, literally a young kid, 25 years old, had already brought them a championship.

Speaker 1 In theory, should have retired in Dallas, was somehow traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. This is, this never happens.
The idea of it is like, you know, the Bulls trading Jordan, really.

Speaker 1 And what do we think about it, Ben? You know, sports. It's really crazy.
It's really, really crazy.

Speaker 1 Mark Cuban said when he was still the owner of the Mavericks, there's a famous quote that he would trade his wife before he traded Luca.

Speaker 1 Like, like, Luca was it. He's like a once-in-a-generation unbelievable, been a professional, like from like age 13 to 19, and then came to the NBA.
He's been a pro forever. He's so good.

Speaker 1 I have no idea what happened. No idea.
They traded him, I guess, because they thought thought they had conditioning issues. They didn't want to pay him so much money, whatever it may be.

Speaker 1 For Anthony Davis, who is a very injury-prone guy, he's very good, but he's very injury-prone.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if you remember, probably at least 15 years ago, there was a deal on the table, Kobe Bryant, for Chris Paul. There was a deal.

Speaker 1 And David Stern, who is the commissioner of the NBA, vetoed it. He said, this trade is not fair.
And it's not happening. And if he was still here, I think he would have vetoed it.
He's dead.

Speaker 1 so it went through but to me this was you're you're talking about david stern just for clarity yeah sorry david stern is dead kobe too but no yes but but david stern and yeah it just crazy it's so for us laymen out there because i think this can be interesting so basically he was on a contract renegotiation and at this point dallas would have had to pay him hundreds upon hundreds of millions to in theory sign him for the next what six years ten years six years yeah and when you are a player of that caliber, you're eligible for what's called a super max.

Speaker 1 And so it's like an extra 150 million when you're like the centerpiece of a team. So they had to really pay him, but you're not going to find anybody better ever.
Ever.

Speaker 1 Like they'll never, ever, ever in the history of the Dallas Mavericks have a player better than Luca.

Speaker 1 I watched his debut last night for the Lakers and I was sort of like on my computer and half watching, half on my computer. And all I hear go, well, that's the end of the first half.

Speaker 1 The Lakers are up 38 points. I was like, oh my God.
Luca and LeBron are so similar. Like, the way that they play is so similar.
They're both these, like, 6'8s, can pass, can shoot, can rebound.

Speaker 1 Like, it's just, it's just nuts. It's nuts.
God,

Speaker 1 so jealous. I went to the Knicks Celtics game the other night.
They got blown out. Like, the Knicks got just screwed.
Nothing worse than going to a losing home game. Does that hurt?

Speaker 1 Are you like really affected when they lose? I'm only really affected when I buy tickets. Like if I get seats for free and they lose, whatever.
Right.

Speaker 1 But spending money to watch somebody lose really stinks. Like you're going to watch them win.
So yeah.

Speaker 1 You're stung for like a second. It more stung that I walked outside.
I drove, of course, Josh, because I'm driving everywhere. I drove.
It's a snowstorm. So I, and I had to park a block away.

Speaker 1 Where did you park near the garden?

Speaker 1 I've parked outside of the garden illegally and not gotten a ticket twice you're nice

Speaker 1 twice no ticket i parked on 31st and 6th i got back no ticket but because i drove i nor i normally don't bring a jacket who wants to lug a puffer into the garden so i didn't bring a jacket but i parked over a block away and it was a snowstorm i got in i was i got out i was freezing oh my god what's the weather like we're about to go to the snow on thursday and it's going to be chilly tonight's supposed to be a monster snowstorm so i could pop out of here and it could be snowing like crazy that said this podcast studio i must just say josh i i'm drinking i'm drinking herbal tea unreal i get fresh herbal tea so i'm going to be warm i'm going to pop out i won't even feel the snow are we now tell me are we never allowed to film in the toast studio again no we are redesigned No, my area hasn't been redesigned yet.

Speaker 1 Ah. So I'm, we're setting up so that when you come to New York, we can still have two seats.
But the way that the toast is now set up, it's just one singular frame. So we're setting up a good guys

Speaker 1 area that will cater to me or if Claudia and Jackie want to do something. So it's still being, I'm waiting on wallpaper and then we're locked and loaded.
It'll be gorgeous.

Speaker 1 Can I share a gripe, a grievance, some might say? Please. If I know you, we don't know each other well.
But if we know each other, fellow celebrities, and you're talking about me? What?

Speaker 1 Are you talking about me?

Speaker 1 Celebrities of our caliber and a little above us. Yes, yes, yes.
And you tell me you want to come on the podcast, and I go, great, shoot me an email, or let's connect. When and where, babe.

Speaker 1 I can't believe we didn't even talk about this. And they got,

Speaker 1 let me, let me connect you with my publicist.

Speaker 1 Just say no. Don't have your muscle tell me no.
Don't say you want to do it. It's like my whole thing with like how people FaceTune and filter photos on social media.

Speaker 1 I want to say to them, you know, I'm going to see you one day, right? You know, I'm going to notice you don't actually look like that. It's like, I'm going to see you again.
You told me yes.

Speaker 1 Your publicist the next day was like, we're not currently taking any interviews. I'm like, dog, this kills me.
Just say not right now. And Josh, what did I say to you?

Speaker 1 The morons will never know who this person is. Yes.
Ever. But we've talked about them twice twice and had to censor them twice.
Yes, but you'll never know.

Speaker 1 What did I say to you, though, when you said that this person would come on the show? What did you say, Ben? I said to you, I can't stand this person,

Speaker 1 but they'd be a great guest. Right.
So it would have been nice. That said, it's no skin off our backs.
We can go back to having nothing to do with this person, muting them on all platforms. I am out.

Speaker 1 Okay? Dead to me. Dead to me.
Totally. Dead to me.
I couldn't believe it when I read it. Josh wrote the nicest email from Josh.
Hi, it's Josh Peck.

Speaker 1 I have a podcast called The Good Guys with my co-host celebrity chef Ben Soffer. We heard that this person would be interested in potentially coming on the show.
Can you please send available dates?

Speaker 1 Thank you so much. Hugs and kisses, Josh.
And they wrote back, sorry, Charlie. They're out of commission.
Not gonna happen. Like, what? Are you nuts? And you know what? I got to give a lot of credit.

Speaker 1 And I even say, I always say this, we record in LA or New York. It will take an hour maximum.
Whatever is best for your client. We're so easy.
We're easy. Easy, easy, easy.
You like this whole thing?

Speaker 1 We have this. He has herbal tea.
This place has herbal tea. This, this

Speaker 1 world class. Pod stream, shout out.
God bless pod stream. But I will give a shout out of recognition and I will name them by name.

Speaker 1 The great Victoria Justice, we did a speaking gig together a year and a half ago. And I brought up, I said, love for you to do the pod.
And she said, great, let's talk about it.

Speaker 1 And I will text her twice a year and say, hey, just. mentioning the pod.
And she will be so lovely and say, now's not the right time.

Speaker 1 I'm either working or I don't have anything to promote I want to talk about yet. But when I do, we'll do it.
And I go, say less, Victoria. Thank you for letting me know.
So classy, so lovely.

Speaker 1 That's it. Just be a person.
Two things. One, I would love to have Victoria Justice on the same.
Two, like, oh, wait, I lost my train of thought. What did you say? Victoria.
Victoria Justice.

Speaker 1 What about Victoria? What about Victoria? Department of Justice. I love her department.
Want to have her on? It's great. There was a TV show called Justice.
Yeah, the Justice.

Speaker 1 Victoria Justice. She's great.
She's fun. She is great.
She's cool.

Speaker 1 Victoria.

Speaker 1 All right. Maybe it'll come back.
It's gone. Lost forever.
Neurologist. Lost forever.
Just like my love for that person that almost came on the podcast. Lost forever.
Ashunda, Ben.

Speaker 1 And I've gotten many of those that I've kept you off email from where I'm like,

Speaker 1 what the heck? I'm going to. No, I need.
Can I say some names and you bleep them? I'll bleep them.

Speaker 1 What? As a friendly. Did you tell him?

Speaker 1 Did you tell him that we went ab to ab, belly button to belly button in the pool in Mexico and he still said no? Pub effed me. That publicist gave me a big hard no and he was in.
He was in.

Speaker 1 Oh, I remember. It's the publicist, Josh.
Okay, Victoria Justice, and to anybody else. We do not need to come on this show to promote something because we can just have fun.

Speaker 1 Sure, you could promote it, but we're not. We're not that serious.
We're not out to get you. We're just here to have a good time.
It's fun. It's conversational.

Speaker 1 You'll end up probably learning something about Judaism. Yeah.
It's fun.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine the publicists? They're pitching it to their client. They're like, it's really fun.
They get a hundred thousand downloads per app, and you might learn something about Judaism.

Speaker 1 Do not be alarmed if they try to convert you.

Speaker 1 They might try to bathe you in something called a mikbah. Should we get to a speak pipe? Yeah.
If you want to ask us questions, get advice from us.

Speaker 1 Go to

Speaker 1 what?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 hell yes

Speaker 1 sound like a wrestler. Hell yes, brother.
God,

Speaker 1 I'll see you in the race.

Speaker 1 Speak pipe.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you want to ask us a question, get advice, go to speakpipe.com/slash good guys. Keep it brief.
Brevity is key. We don't want to hear your witty nutses.
They're kind of bad.

Speaker 6 Here's from who knows hey dear guys i'd love to hear your take on the controversial topic of remote work should people be allowed to work from home should they be allowed to work part-time at home part-time in the office i want to know what your take is because obviously you guys do your podcasts remote from across the country and huge argument especially in canada our government's fighting back and forth about letting uh half the government work from home so give us your thoughts give us your hot takes i'd love to hear your thoughts josh you can't get as much work done from home, just flat out.

Speaker 1 There's something called an economics Parkinson's principle. And the idea is, is that work either expands or contracts to how much time you allow for it, which is why deadlines are important.

Speaker 1 Because if you give yourself a week, you'll figure out how to make it work in a week. If you give yourself a month, it'll somehow take a month.

Speaker 1 So I just think at the very least, some sort of hybrid style needs to happen because I've seen people who work at home and they're just not putting the time in, even though it can work.

Speaker 1 But I think you're going to to get maximum efficiency if you're putting in some FaceTime at the office. I think it needs to be age-gated and I think it depends on the industry.

Speaker 1 I think that in your formative years, if you're in a nine to five, you cannot start remote. You can't.
I'm sorry. Like you will be at home doing nothing.

Speaker 1 But if you spent a decade going into an office and now all of a sudden you're remote and you understand the inner workings of a company, it's a totally different story.

Speaker 1 But I'm definitely in favor of like, if if you're sub 25 in an office, and then you could like graduate to working from home.

Speaker 1 That said, if you are able to do your job from a computer and from a phone, it doesn't matter if you're sitting in an office or if you're sitting at home where you can make your lunch, where you can walk your dog, where you can just be a happier person.

Speaker 1 And I've found having people that work remote, they work later and they work all the time. Like they end up never being off because they're, to your point, never fully on.

Speaker 1 Like when you're in an office, it's eight hours, but when you leave, you're done. But when you work remote, depending on what you're in, you could end up putting in 75% of the time all the time.

Speaker 1 And then the net net is more hours. So tricky question.
Tricky. Depends on the industry.
Obviously, if you're a mechanic, no working from home.

Speaker 1 But if you're in marketing, you could probably work from home sometimes. Agreed.
Let's hear the next one from Anonymous.

Speaker 6 This is a message for the king of Ozempic, fenced offer celebrity.

Speaker 6 How are you eating normal foods on your Ozempic? I feel like I eat a piece of cheese and I feel like I am in insane pain for hours after. I eat one bite too much.

Speaker 6 I need to be rolled out like Christmas dinner. It's crazy.
So you need to know, how are we surviving off this? Because I don't think I'm losing weight just because of the drug.

Speaker 6 Like I think I'm malnourished now, which I mean, great, because, you know, the jeans fit tighter, fit less tight. But, you know, I just need advice.
What are we eating?

Speaker 6 How are we surviving off this drug? It's great because you have no appetite, but I also, you know, I need sustenance. Any tips are appreciated.

Speaker 1 You're on too high a dose. Also, it's working for you.
So like if you, like the fact that I'm able to eat normal portions is not a good thing.

Speaker 1 You're injecting yourself for an appetite suppressant, but it sounds like you're probably taking too much. And there is a such thing as ramping too quickly.
Like I ramped very, very slowly.

Speaker 1 There was a time where it was really suppressing. Like days one through five of this nutrientide, I was at that place, but you can eat through it if you work hard enough.

Speaker 1 But what you're doing right now is ideal. You're trying to lose weight.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be on it. Believe me, you're not malnourished.
We don't need nearly as much food as we eat.

Speaker 1 So as long as like the meals that you are eating, you're getting enough of the stuff that you need. then it's a good thing.
You're on a weight loss drug. Lose weight.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine being on a Zembic and complaining that it's working?

Speaker 1 That's literally what she was doing.

Speaker 1 Like, what are we doing? Like, about the fact that I'm not hungry?

Speaker 1 Julie's screwing with my Tillamook Tuesdays. You want to take down a block of cheddar.

Speaker 1 You inject yourself once a week to be full and you're pissed that it's working. I've never heard of this.
I can only eat. There are 11 bay bells now.

Speaker 1 Baybells. I don't have a bay bells.

Speaker 1 Oh, they're so good. And the wax.
What is that?

Speaker 1 It's a gouda. It's delicious.
Cheese. Delicious.

Speaker 1 Love taking an English muffin, Josh, slicing it in half, putting on a little tomato sauce, cutting the bay bells in half and throwing them in the toaster. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Little mini Gouda pizza. Yeah, you little fats.
I would just crush it.

Speaker 1 Crush it a homemade pie. I love it.
I used to do that too, but with that horrible cake agent sliced name brand or store brand cheddar cheese over crappy broken tortillas. Yeah, of course.
Yeah, I love

Speaker 1 microwave nacho. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 That should be in a restaurant as an athlete. Microwave

Speaker 1 nacho. I love it.
You throw down some tostitos, some craft American singles, a little bit of scallions. You're having a party.
Microwave nachos, toaster pizza. In hell yes.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 Reheated rice, yes

Speaker 1 it comes in the Chinese food box, it's just stale,

Speaker 1 there's only it's only half full,

Speaker 1 there's a remnant of like black bean sauce.

Speaker 1 Oh, is this a water chestnut? Sorry,

Speaker 1 so good.

Speaker 1 Next speak pipe from who knows.

Speaker 6 Hey, Josh and Ben. I just wanted to respond to the speak pipe where the lady says that her boyfriend lied about his height and she had to measure the dresser to see how tall he was.

Speaker 6 And I took a leap of faith and dated a short king. And I just want to encourage everyone else to do the same.
Being short kind of does for your personality what being fat does for it.

Speaker 6 And it's fabulous. I've never laughed harder.
I don't even care that I see eye to eye with him. Such a man.

Speaker 6 So I just wanted to speak out against the short Kingslander and encourage everyone to, you know, date shorter. You never know what's in that great little package.

Speaker 1 Love it. Date shorter.
I'm in. It's a movement.
Yeah, date shorter. Okay.
And I like what she said that being shorter, you get a chip on your shoulder. So perhaps you're funny.
And better fucking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you gotta. Got quite the hog.
Share clothes.

Speaker 1 One more from, I don't know.

Speaker 5 Hi, Josh and Ben. This is Brittany from New Jersey.
I love you guys. I'm a new listener.
I'm obsessed. Keep with the good work.
You're like my best friends. So, anyway, trying to make this fast.

Speaker 5 I work at a nonprofit. We are small.
We're only a staff of three.

Speaker 5 And here's the thing: my executive director, great guy. He comes into the office when every time he comes in, no set schedule.
He comes in and he uses the bathroom shore.

Speaker 5 You know, the men's room is down the end of the office, and then the women's room is up towards the front.

Speaker 5 The reason I'm mentioning bathroom is because when he leaves the bathroom, when he goes number two, the smell envelops the office and I don't know what to say or not to say.

Speaker 5 And let me tell you, he said to me that he has no sense of smell anymore.

Speaker 1 There's one, so he can't smell anything. I'm dying.

Speaker 5 My assistant director doesn't say anything. So should I just donate an air freshener and then every time he leaves the bathroom, run over there and spray it? Will he notice? I don't know what to do.

Speaker 5 I just can't keep smelling it anymore. I'm getting sick.

Speaker 1 What should I do? I love you guys. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I love this podcast.

Speaker 1 What to do?

Speaker 1 Let me tell you, they're not talking about that on fucking Smartless. Okay.

Speaker 1 Those three cannot help you with a question like this. Joe Rogan's talking about fucking UFOs in ayahuasca.
We're talking about shitting at your office. We are.
Specifically at a non-profit.

Speaker 1 And Josh, I just want to say this is what happens happens when you work at a non-profit. So true.
Like, it just, you're going to have that guy that is going to drop a stink bomb.

Speaker 1 And it just, so look, you've, you've chosen the route. It's probably a relatively cushy job.
I never really understood working for a nonprofit because they're not profitable.

Speaker 1 But in the end of the day, I don't know if I would.

Speaker 1 Yeah, put something in the bathroom. Put something in the bathroom.
Put in a little Febreze. One of those air wicks.
Get somebody too expensive. You don't need to come out your own money for this guy.

Speaker 1 Do it when he's not there. Definitely don't go and like spray out.
That's too dramatic. But go in, put in an airwick, air freshener.
Otherwise, consider using a different restroom.

Speaker 1 But that's very unfortunate. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that.
Nothing worse. And I'm sure I'm getting a visual.
Like, I feel how hot that toilet seat is. Ugh.
Yuck.

Speaker 1 Listen, I know you're in a nonprofit, but so one kid doesn't eat one night. You take that money,

Speaker 1 you pool it, right? You take the $20 and you go get, I'm talking, you get a candle, you get a poupourry, you know, the spray that you put in. You're just going to leave a lot of hints.

Speaker 1 First, just leave a lit candle in there all day, a stinky one. Go to Bath and Body Works and get an offensive one, like the strong, like, yeah.

Speaker 1 And then the pupourie spray. I'm trying to think if there's anyone.
You can get those glad things that plug into the wall and they heat up and they like they're blasting scent.

Speaker 1 And I think by then someone will get the picture that they're stinking up the joint. Or I'm now thinking about it, Josh, because you work at a non-profit, anything goes.
Just tell the guy. Right.

Speaker 1 Hey, dude, stop shitting so much. Like, what are you here? Like, what are you eating? What are you eating? Like, honestly, what you should do is you should ask him about his diet.

Speaker 1 You should go up to him and you should say, like, why are you eating beef stew for dinner every night? Right.

Speaker 1 If it's, by the way, if his bowels are truly this smelly, Josh, then he has a, he has gastrointestinal problems.

Speaker 1 He could be polypy. He could be polypy.
You never know. So feel for the guy.
Give him some AG1. That'll straighten him out.

Speaker 1 I agree. And this is why I will never ever share a bathroom with my wife because I'm like, listen, thank God.
Even when we just lived in an apartment, we had two bathrooms, a guest and a main.

Speaker 1 I said, the main is yours. Enjoy the counter space on.
Take the shower.

Speaker 1 I will be in the guest's bathroom and I will be free farting and doing what I need to do to feel like a skinny mini without your judgment, without fear.

Speaker 1 But will you not even in the middle of the night? If you have to pee, where are you going? This is assuming we were sleeping in the same room. Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to use my imagination on this one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I will. I'll piddle, but I need to close the door because I got a loud piss stream and it could wake somebody up.
So, or I got to sit. Fair.
Fair. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because, yeah, if I'm going to, if I'm going to do the nasty, I'll go to the guest bathroom. It's only courteous.
Yeah. The peen, yeah, I'll go in there.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 Should we get to our woody nuts? We should. Let's do it.
Our winny nuts moment of the week are our gripes with people, places, and things, big and small, whatever is currently sticking in your craw.

Speaker 1 I'll start. I have someone who's on the other side of the political spectrum to me, a buddy of mine, guy, love him, great guy, but we're nuts and we go at it all day on text.

Speaker 1 And I finally said, dude, you need a hobby. He sends me like 10 articles a day.
He's constantly writing me all these things. You would think he is like

Speaker 1 the head of Fox News. I'm like, dog.

Speaker 1 I said, and then he'll tell me when I say, you need a hobby, he'll go, I don't have time. I work too hard.
I'm like, you totally

Speaker 1 have time. I said, because when all is said and done, you could be learning French.
You could be learning woodworking. You could get in really good shape.
But, like, do not waste your time on this.

Speaker 1 Like, okay, you're dunking on me. Like, you will have nothing to show for it when it's all said and done.
What are you, nuts? Nuts.

Speaker 1 And also, just stop foisting your opinions onto other people when they didn't ask for it. I hate it.
I hate it. I don't do it to you.
You don't do it to me. It's just, let's talk about fun things.

Speaker 1 Like, life's stressful enough. That person sounds like he's sick.

Speaker 1 He's sick. My what are you nuts moment? Speaking of sick, Josh, I went to unbelievable diner.
I didn't get sick there. Delicious diner.
Delicious.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to name drop it because I don't want the lines. It's too good.
So good. Madison diner.
So good.

Speaker 1 Fantastic. I went there, me, Claudia, our friends Matt, Adina, and their eight-month-old Jaden.
We're having a beautiful spread. We order the silver dollar pancakes.
We order the omelets.

Speaker 1 It's a beautiful brunch. Now, Jaden's eight months old, so he really isn't a, he hasn't had too much screen time yet, right?

Speaker 1 And they're, it's the parents' job to choose how much screen time their kid gets, right? We are chatting. All of a sudden, we look to the left.

Speaker 1 The hostess of the restaurant, Josh, has put a cartoon on her phone and is showing it to the baby. The baby is watching the cartoon.
The hostess is holding her Samsung Galaxy at her abdomen, okay?

Speaker 1 Showing this cartoon and the baby's watching. What are you nuts? This isn't your kid? Are you crazy? I thought it was insane.
May I retort? Folks, this episode is five stars.
