Speaker 1 Make it your weekly routine. It's a good guys.

Speaker 1 And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts? What are you nuts? They're the good guys. They're not the great guys.
We're just so good and good to the good guys.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 3 Benjamin, how the hell are you?

Speaker 1 I'm splendid. How are you, Joshua?

Speaker 3 I'm good. How are those T-Rex arms?

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 I thought you might ask. So

Speaker 1 I am on creatine. I'm dosing, baby.
I'm dosing. Day four.
Yeah. Day four.
He's pissing dirty. Water is being retained.
I'm up five pounds.

Speaker 3 So I hate the creatine, babe.

Speaker 1 Water is being retained. I have been on a lot of planes.
I've been on four flights in the last six days, too. So maybe it's that.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to outright blame the creatine, but it definitely gave me, one, like a little extra energy, a little extra boost, Josh, to go to the gym.

Speaker 1 And then two, I think it gave me a little false confidence in the gym. I'm just there.
I haven't been, I haven't been to the gym to work out in months.

Speaker 1 Like I've gone, used the treadmill, whatever, but to really lift, it's been at least four months. And I go and I sit on the bench press.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, okay, I'm just going to try 100 and 100 feels good. Then I go to 110 and 110 feels good.
Then I go to 120 and 120 feels good. And the next day, I do legs, Josh.

Speaker 1 I do legs the next day and I do abs. And then by the day after that, oh my God, I can't, my, my arm won't straighten.
My left arm and my right arm, I'm like this. I'm like this.
They won't straighten.

Speaker 1 So I take to the internet. I take to our people and I say, people, what's wrong with me? My arms won't straighten.
Now, the reasonable response, Josh, would be what? You're sore. You overdid it.

Speaker 1 You're fat. You're in the gym.
The unreasonable response, Josh, is what these freaking WebMD warriors... Let me quickly just look it up on my Samsung Galaxy.
Oh, yeah. What I've written down.

Speaker 1 It's the rabbidoid gnosis. Rabba rhamohomida.
Rheumatoid arthritis.

Speaker 3 Rabramiosis, I think it is.

Speaker 1 Rhamdo is what people said that that I had. Rhabdo, rhabdo.

Speaker 1 Which means, Josh.

Speaker 3 It sounds like something Adam Sandler created.

Speaker 1 Rhabdo. Rhabdo.
Rhabdo.

Speaker 1 You want me to read you, Josh? Because obviously I had to Google it. They're like, you probably have this disease.

Speaker 3 I've heard of it, but go, go. Tell the people.

Speaker 1 Okay. Rhabdomodidoriasis is.

Speaker 1 First of all, symptoms include dark reddish urine. What are you, nuts? Like, I would have known if I had dark red urine.
Sure.

Speaker 1 A decreased amount amount of urine, muscle aches and weakness, pain areas are in the muscles, whole body fatigue, inability to exercise, water electrolyte imbalance, muscular cramping, muscular weakness.

Speaker 1 This is not at all what I have. I just said that I couldn't straighten my arm.
Like, it hurts a little bit to go like this, you know?

Speaker 1 Like, just a little bit. But at this point, I can keep it fully straight.
For a couple of days, I was completely T-Rexed.

Speaker 1 And that's the last time I asked my Instagram followers anything about medicine. I don't want your opinions at all.
I'm sharing my life.

Speaker 1 I'm showing you that that I have a T-Rex arm, but don't tell me, don't give me anything. Tell me nothing.
I want nothing from you, motherfuckers.

Speaker 3 I think, shout out our followers.

Speaker 3 Rhabdo is, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of armchair doctors who are telling me I'm nuts, but rhabdo is when you have such significant muscle breakdown from a workout that it releases a protein that basically the kidneys can't sort of, it can't convert.

Speaker 3 And so your kidneys begin to shut down. I think it's a potassium thing.
Like there's a potassium issue too.

Speaker 3 But because I know having an imbalance in potassium can affect your heart and rhabdo can affect your heart. Like you're literally like, you can go into total heart shutdown, bad news spares, not.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that the number that you're, you die from this.
If it unchecked, you die. That's what I know.

Speaker 3 It's serious.

Speaker 1 It's serious. But also, it's for people who really work out really seriously.
Do I look like somebody that could possibly get rhabdo?

Speaker 3 But like, I think you have to be a

Speaker 1 bodybuilder.

Speaker 3 I think rhabdo is for triathletes, crossfitters, and fatsos.

Speaker 1 Oh, you think so?

Speaker 3 No, I think it's for either you've hurt your body so much through constant working out, or you've been at such a satiated resting space, and then you go in and you disrupt it with a really hard workout, and your body's like, you shock it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, I definitely shocked it.
I shocked it. I was in pain, but I'm fine.
I'm totally fine now. And my plan, Josh, tomorrow is to go and do arms again.
You got to get back in.

Speaker 1 It's the creatine talking. The creatine.

Speaker 3 You get pulled over. They're like, sir,

Speaker 3 have you had anything to drink tonight? No, but I'm on five milligrams of creatine and I feel crazy.

Speaker 1 I literally called Josh this morning. I'm like, do you find that creatine gives you a bit of an Adderall effect? He's like, no.

Speaker 1 Like, what are you talking about? Like, I took creatine and it, it was, it was like, I did a bump. I'm, I'm, like, all over the place.

Speaker 3 I think you just had

Speaker 3 energy from working out, which is a wonderful byproduct.

Speaker 1 A side effect of creatine is joie de vivre, the zest for life. Yes.

Speaker 3 That's it. My take is

Speaker 1 it for Mojo.

Speaker 1 What kind of creatine do you use?

Speaker 3 I don't know, but it's called Benny Got His Groove Back.

Speaker 1 I obviously obviously had to travel with my creatine, Josh. So I put a little look.
This, I got Thorn. Josh told me to get Thorn.

Speaker 3 Shout out Thorne.

Speaker 1 Good stuff. This is apparently, this is the Rolls-Royce creatine, okay?

Speaker 1 It comes in a beautiful tub that said, I would like to discuss with Thorn that it's difficult to take the scooper from the tub and put it into a small bottle of water.

Speaker 1 I understand I should be using a canteen, but I'm not. I'm trying to put it into my little Poland Spring bottles.
I digress. I wanted to take some with me on the plane.

Speaker 1 I obviously couldn't lug this huge tub. That That would be nuts.
So I put a little bit of the powder into a Ziploc bag.

Speaker 1 And I realized as I'm going through TSA, it looks, Josh, like I'm smuggling cocaine. It looks just like cocaine.
It's this white powder.

Speaker 1 Maybe that's why it feels like I did cocaine because there's something about the

Speaker 1 material, the way it looks. Yes.

Speaker 1 Shout out Thorne.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that is the sad thing about marijuana becoming legal in many states because there's nothing like the feeling of taping some like really B-level dirt weed to your taint and walking through TSA trying not to make eye contact with people making $19 an hour.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Absolutely. Where have you, where's the craziest place, Josh, that you have inserted drugs in your body to get through TSA?

Speaker 3 All domestic, babe. I'm a domestic smuggler.
I do not do internash.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's smart. That's smart.
No, we don't, we don't need that. We don't need you in a Russian prison.
We don't need any of that WNBA action. None of that.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, thankfully, I haven't had to worry about that for almost two two decades. But when I was young and full of, full of piss and vinegar, I

Speaker 3 remember once I was in, I was in the UK and I was like 20 years old.

Speaker 1 And I was like, we need to smoke weed in the UK.

Speaker 3 And so I kind of like started asking around. And by that, I mean, you always ask the hotel valets because they're basically like Yelp for illicit substances.

Speaker 3 And they're like, oh, you mate, you got to go down to Camden, mate.

Speaker 1 Camden, mate. I'm like, oh, right.

Speaker 3 They're like, aren't you from New York? I'm like, yeah, but I want to fit in. So I went to Camden

Speaker 1 and one of the scariest dudes ever walks up to me.

Speaker 3 He's like, oi, mate, what you want, mate? And I'm like, 20 pounds worth of your finest British reefer, Your Majesty.

Speaker 1 And he pulled it.

Speaker 3 He pulled a little satchel, like a, a, like, you know, a wrapped baggie out of his gums.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's like, oh, here you go. Oh.
And I was like,

Speaker 1 suck.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 3 we smoked that up in the bathroom of the hotel room. Me and someone else that you guys would love to know whom, and I don't want to implicate.

Speaker 1 Who is this? We can believe this. I can't get out the image, Josh, of...
this drug dealer taking it out of his mouth and giving it to you.

Speaker 1 It's fucking disgusting. what is wrong with these people

Speaker 3 well i think the idea is that if the cops come you swallow it i guess

Speaker 1 and i guess it's i guess it's easier than the anus

Speaker 3 yeah i mean i don't want yeah i don't want butt weed but yeah it's a bindle right and you hear that more with like hard harder drugs but like again like you can't just swallow hard drugs you'll die You can swallow a couple bindles of marjuana.

Speaker 1 You can. Oh, so the in the lip is called a bindle.

Speaker 3 The bindle is the packaging, which is like a sealed little package of like $20 to $50 worth of whatever you're buying.

Speaker 1 Don't we call that

Speaker 1 a dime bag? Isn't that what we called it?

Speaker 3 A dime bag is a $10 worth.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, so a bindle is a larger dime bag.

Speaker 3 I think it's interchangeable. A dime bag, like a dub is 20.
A dime bag is 10.

Speaker 1 But we're talking about the physical vessel, which is a mini Ziploc, right? These little guys? Yeah.

Speaker 3 A bindle was old school, school, right? So, like a bindle for harder drugs could also be a small balloon,

Speaker 1 which was fun.

Speaker 3 Like a little, yeah, a little small balloon, like you're at a like you're at a birthday party at a chuck at a Charles Entertainment. Don't you bring Charles Entertainment into this discussion?

Speaker 3 You could have ruined it for Shylock.

Speaker 1 You go to Charles Entertainment and you ask Mr. Charles, have you heard of a Bindle? He's like, Have I heard of a Bindle?

Speaker 3 Honestly, Bindle sounds like the new hot Jewish baby neighbor.

Speaker 3 Have you met Bindle?

Speaker 1 Bindle, Josh.

Speaker 1 Bindle, Josh. Speaking of little little Bindle, you and Paige had this gorgeous announcement on Instagram.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 How is she doing? That was so beautiful. Her bump is bumping.

Speaker 3 We're bumping, Josh. We're the luckiest boys in the world.
We're the luckiest boys in podcasting. My wife is great.
This is her third time. I don't know why.
This feels like the hardest.

Speaker 3 And by that, I mean on me.

Speaker 3 I just think this one's kicking her butt a little bit, understandably so.

Speaker 3 Usually like you have the first trimester and you don't feel great, but then as reported by people I've spoken to in the past, the second trimester, you're kind of feeling great.

Speaker 3 And then the third trimester, you're just like over it and ready for it to be done. Yeah, she's just been feeling kind of blah.

Speaker 3 So how about our Queen Claude? Is she feeling okay?

Speaker 1 Yeah, first trimester kicked her in the ass. Like really, it was rough.
But she's been good. She's been really good.

Speaker 1 She went to the gym twice, Josh, in the last three days, just to walk on the treadmill.

Speaker 1 But like that, the fact that she's able to, and to do soda method, like the fact that she's able to do that mentally is huge. It's huge.

Speaker 1 And according to whatever app she uses, our son BHBHBH is the size of a corn corn a corn husk.

Speaker 1 Apparently that's just like width. I mean, that's just length, I guess.
These apps, it's so strange. They're like, he's the size of a lima bean.
And it's like, which way? Which way? You know?

Speaker 1 So the corn, I think, is the length of him right now, a large corn husk. But yeah, he's good.
She's good. And it's just amazing.
Two pregnant ladies, same time, same schedule. What a podcast.

Speaker 3 You guys feel free to combat me on this. I, like everyone else, follow Mark Wahlberg on Instagram.
I'm a fan of Mark Wahlberg. I like his work ethic.
I like his movies.

Speaker 3 They don't, what I have questions about.

Speaker 3 His page on Instagram is so homoerotic. He is constantly showing off his body in very little clothing.
He's flexing. He's constantly flexing for the camera.

Speaker 3 He's showing up what he needs to work on, his progress. And I mean, I'm talking full leg, sometime in a very short short.
He's, you know, doing the biceps. He's doing the chest.
What's happening?

Speaker 3 What's happening here?

Speaker 1 I've seen it. I've seen it.

Speaker 3 Olivia, you've seen this?

Speaker 2 I just looked it up and I'm seeing it right now. And I am everything.
He's shirtless in just about every post.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's either a lot or it's buy into my Catholic app.

Speaker 1 Yes. I think, Josh, it'shtag.
Isn't he selling? Doesn't he have like a workout line? I think that's what it is. I think his Instagram is just 100% ads.
Like ads for himself.

Speaker 1 But like when he's shirtless, he's selling a pair of shorts and he's selling the dream in those shorts. You buy my shorts, Josh? You're going to have my abs.
You're going to have my tries.

Speaker 1 You're gonna have my delts. Yeah,

Speaker 3 listen. If you tell me I can have Mark Wahlberg's rhomboids, I'm fucking in, Avi.

Speaker 1 But he obviously, he you think he takes thorn creatine, Josh? He probably takes his own shit.

Speaker 1 He has his own fucking creatine miner. Yes, right?

Speaker 1 He's a guy that mines his own creatine. Mark, you funky bunch, creatine by the funky bunch,

Speaker 3 wall cream.

Speaker 1 It's much better than creatine by the funky bunch.

Speaker 1 Creatine burgers. It's like the adult version of a hype house.
Like that's what it is.

Speaker 1 That's what it is. It's like you're in your 50s, but like, it's like OG Josh Richards, Bryce Hall.
It's that same clickbait. Look at my abs.
Shit.

Speaker 1 But he crushes it. Now all I want to know is what is he taking? Because since being introduced to creatine, now that I am a creatine influencer, Josh, my eyes are wide fucking open, okay?

Speaker 1 These people don't look like this because they were born that way. They look like this because they're taking shit.
Okay. They're all taking shit.

Speaker 1 You had me listening listening to a lovely podcast, Josh. What was the name of that podcast? Was it Huberman? Was his name?

Speaker 3 No, this is Harbinger, the great Jordan Harbinger.

Speaker 1 Harbinger. That's what I meant.
The double, the H, the H's. I got confused.
Harbinger, okay.

Speaker 1 And he had a doctor on, and they were talking all about whether it's creatine, testosterone replacement therapy.

Speaker 1 We ran the gamut and we were simply listening we are educating ourselves folks we are listening and to look like Mark Wahlberg at Mark Wahlberg's age you're taking TRTs right allegedly but I would say in a hypothetical Mark Wahlberg-esque incredible shape person in their mid-50s they're probably getting some help absolutely and I think there's nothing wrong with the help Josh there's nothing wrong with it not all nothing wrong I just think that people need to need to know this stuff, right?

Speaker 1 Like people need to understand that you can work as hard as you fucking want, but you won't look like her because you're not taking what she's taking or him because you're not taking what they're taking.

Speaker 1 It's impossible. It's impossible.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I don't think it should be taboo.

Speaker 3 I think these fitness or these just icons of human excellence that we have such idolatry for, I don't want to say whom, but someone whose name is kind of like the pebble or the stone. Anyway,

Speaker 3 like these people are clearly optimizing with certain things that are, they're not endogenous. They're not made by the body.
They're made by man and entered into the body to optimize their fitness.

Speaker 3 And it's like, let's be real about it, because I agree with you. I think it does set kind of a false narrative about what's possible naturally.

Speaker 1 Jordan Harbinger was talking about something interesting, which is that what semaglutide or ozempic or, and I have an update on on that, so what these things are are simply ways that we can bring something into the body to maximize an output.

Speaker 1 So, the output for taking a semaglutide or an ozempic or a wagovi or whatever it may be is that you're not going to have as much food noise and is thus you're going to eat less.

Speaker 1 It's going to clean the sugar from your body, whatever.

Speaker 1 But that is the vessel for so many things that we're going to be able to do to just make our bodies fucking awesome and run like a well-oiled machine. It's not all about looking amazing.

Speaker 1 Like we have the opportunity here to feel great. Don't we want to feel great? I do.
I want to feel great.

Speaker 3 Tell me about your, I recently, and by that I mean yesterday, my boy Len was like, I got to stop shooting myself up with Ozempic because I'm starting to get hard spots in my stomach.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can't do that. You can't inject in the same spot.
You got to rotate around. But I was off it for like four or five months over the summer or like just before the summer through the summer.

Speaker 1 I went back on it and honestly, like the ozempic semaglutide just hasn't been working for me in the same way. And so I went to Doctor of the Stars, Josh, Dr.

Speaker 1 Sharon Geezy, shout out, and she gave me Trezepatide, which is currently chilling in my fridge,

Speaker 1 which is Munjaro. And I am ready for that transformation, baby.
This is supposed to be it. The Rolls-Royce

Speaker 1 of these medicines. And so I'm very, very excited to try it, starting myself on a modest dose.
And we're going to see. trying to.
I'm a modest dose of 80 milligrams.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to go triseepatide, creatine. I'm getting jacked.
This is what I'm trying to do, Josh. This is what I'm trying to do.
We're going to see if I can do it.

Speaker 3 I have to tell you about my, and then we'll get to some stories. I'm a new Samsung Ultra, no big deal.
So, you know, I'm going with my family. away for a couple of days.

Speaker 3 And so I had to get my kids passports. And so to get passports, it takes a whole, it's a whole McGilla with the family.

Speaker 3 And you got to go to your local federal passport agency to the federal building in your town. And like in California, there's three, San Diego, L.A., or San Francisco.

Speaker 3 So there's a lot of foot traffic. And you have to get a lot of forms.
And then you have to get certain photocopies of forms. So last night, I look at what we have and I'm just double checking.

Speaker 3 And I realized we don't have photocopies of my wife and my passport. And to get passports for your kids, you have to like prove you're their parents.

Speaker 1 So I'm like, shit.

Speaker 3 And it's 11 o'clock at night. And this is when, and I pride myself on being fairly fairly smart and fairly tech savvy.
I'm huge on all of the socials.

Speaker 3 I'm not a moron, but I am. And sometimes my age and the fact that like I was born in 1986, like really shows.
So I go, oh my God, it's 11 o'clock at night. I got to make these copies.
We have a 7 a.m.

Speaker 3 appointment. We're going at 7 a.m.
I got to get Max to school at 8.15. We got to get this done by 7.30.
Crap. What am I going to do? I say, I know how to.

Speaker 1 I go to Kinko's because Kinko's is open 24-7.

Speaker 3 Spoiler alert, Kinkos is no longer a thing.

Speaker 3 It's only the FedEx centers. I know that.
24-hour printing is no longer a thing.

Speaker 1 Quickly, Josh, it's not your fault that you didn't know that Kinkos went out of business. They're like that Homer Simpson meme where they just backed up into the bush and disappeared.

Speaker 1 Nobody told me Kinkos was going out of business. There should still be Kinkos.
We're all of the Kinkos. Continue.

Speaker 3 I agree with you. And title.
And Kinko's merch for the good guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So, I'm like, crap.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 I know what I'll do. I'll call Walgreens.
I'll call, like, I was like, because you know, sometimes like 24-hour pharmacy has a printing center.

Speaker 1 And you just needed a scanned copy of your passport?

Speaker 3 Yeah, but I didn't have a scanner.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you know that there's a scanning app on your phone. Oh, please.

Speaker 3 So, Ben,

Speaker 1 I'm idiot, Ben.

Speaker 3 I'm an idiot.

Speaker 1 So now I go to the Walgreens near the airport.

Speaker 3 I saunter in there. I've called before.
He said, you're good. We've got a station.
I go, great.

Speaker 3 There's nothing scarier than a 24-hour pharmacy, particularly by the airport after 11 on a weekday.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 3 I'm there. A girl is in there and she looked slightly put together, but then I like went and looked at the bottom of her pants and they were all like sort of ragged.
And I'm like, that's the toe.

Speaker 3 And she's buying a two liter bottle of generic ginger ale and a box of wine. She buys it, walks out, comes back in 30 seconds later and goes, wait, can I return this?

Speaker 1 I forgot.

Speaker 3 I'm going to Columbia.

Speaker 1 What's happening?

Speaker 3 She's like, yeah, I thought I was going to kick it to my friends, but

Speaker 3 I'm going to Columbia.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 I hope you're backed. And so

Speaker 3 she's like trying to return it. And then she's like, maybe I'll just get truly.

Speaker 3 So she's like walking up and down. We're the only two people there.
So we scan everything in. He's like, great, this will print out in the next five minutes.
And then it's taking a while.

Speaker 3 And I hear him scream out to some, one of the women there. He goes, Dana.
Is our printer not working? And she goes, yeah, it hasn't worked for three years.

Speaker 3 And he goes, oh, I hoped it was fixed. Yeah, bro.
We can't print this. I'm like, oh, oh, man.
I'm like, I got to get this printed. So I go to another pharmacy.
They have no printing options.

Speaker 3 So now it's midnight and I'm driving home. I'm like, crap, what am I going to do? So I think about it and I go, what would have a business center open now?

Speaker 1 A hotel.

Speaker 1 A hotel. A hotel.

Speaker 3 I go in.

Speaker 3 Shout out, Marriott, Bonboy, baby.

Speaker 3 I go in and I, and this is like, these are the rare moments when I'm glad that I have quasi-C-list celebrity because I make eye contact with the desk kid and he's like, what?

Speaker 3 And I'm like, yep.

Speaker 3 I'm like, buddy, you got a business center? He goes, what do you need? I was like, I need my passports these two photocopy.

Speaker 1 And he goes, no problem.

Speaker 3 He runs back lickety split. It was gorgeous.
So the passport mission was successful. I woke up this morning.

Speaker 3 I tell my wife this, kind of like wanting her to be like, wow, how selfless you are to make sure that we made our appointment well. She's like, you know, you could have done that on your phone, right?

Speaker 3 Like, we have a printer. And I was like, for sure.

Speaker 1 Yep. Could have done it on your phone.
And now I hate to break it to you. That fan at the Courtyard Marriott is currently making new passports with your number and stealing your identity.

Speaker 1 For sure, right?

Speaker 3 Or the Walgreens guy. They have it too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you are fucked. You are fucked.

Speaker 3 Dude, the Walgreens guy made that joke. He was like, so what documents am I stealing?

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, Fernando.

Speaker 1 This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by ProWon. Do I love going out and hanging out with my friends? Yes.
Does all that eating and drinking start to take a toll? Also, yes.

Speaker 1 I can always tell when my body is desperately craving a reset, and Prolon by Al Nutra does just that. Prolon's five-day program gives my system a break.

Speaker 1 It's fasting, but with food, and it's pretty much a game changer.

Speaker 1 Prolon's fasting-mimicking diet is revolutionary, plant-based, and a nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting.

Speaker 1 Researched and developed for decades at USC's Longevity Institute and and backed by leading U.S.

Speaker 1 medical centers, Prolon helps support healthy blood sugar, enhanced skin appearance, fat loss, and improved energy, and focus post-fast. How easy is that?

Speaker 1 It all starts with their five-day program: snacks, soups, and beverages designed to keep your body in a fasting state. No guesswork or planning required, which is a relief after a busy holiday season.

Speaker 1 Three consecutive cycles of Prolon have been shown to reduce your biological age score by an average of two and a half years and your waist circumference by 1.5 inches. Folks, this is fantastic.

Speaker 1 Fasting with food, are you kidding me? You cannot question the benefits of fasting. Absolutely works.
I love fasting until lunchtime, but it's very hard to fast in general.

Speaker 1 And the idea that there is a program that allows you to eat, but still be in a fasting state is something that just I couldn't even comprehend until I tried it.

Speaker 1 And having tried it, I have to say it's fantastic. And the benefits, I mean, they're out of this world.

Speaker 1 So, folks, to help you kickstart a health plan that truly works, Prolon is offering Good Guides listeners 15% off site-wide, plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their five-day nutrition program.

Speaker 3 We tend to get our our stories from the New York Post, and what I'm learning about the New York Post is they're wild.

Speaker 1 These stories are nuts.

Speaker 3 Labia puffing is the latest not safe-for-work cosmetic trend. I'm getting turned on just looking at myself.
Olivia, turn off your headphones.

Speaker 3 It's the other kind of lip filler. Women are getting their labia puffed, a procedure that involves injecting dermal filler or transferring fat into their labia majora to restore plumpness.

Speaker 3 And that doctor's claim could soon become a ubiquitous,

Speaker 3 sorry, and that doctor's claim could soon become as ubiquitous as boob jobs.

Speaker 3 One day it's going to be a household type of thing where we talk about it the way we talk about breast implants, said urologist Dr. Millhouse.
Of course.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a 0% chance that a pumped up labia becomes the norm.

Speaker 1 That's nuts. I'm sorry.
Nuts.

Speaker 3 I just have never reported back to to my boys after hooking up with someone being like, dog, her labia was off

Speaker 1 with puff pain.

Speaker 1 It was, it was poofy.

Speaker 1 Like

Speaker 1 her,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 3 I mean, her labia was on creatine. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 her labia got gains. Like, what?

Speaker 1 That's strange. People got to stop injecting themselves with things as I talk about injecting myself with things.
But people need to stop injecting themselves with things. It's too much.

Speaker 1 We don't know about these things. We know about Trezepatite, okay? We know.
But we don't know. Honestly, don't inject anything near your privates.
That's not good. You don't want anything near there.

Speaker 3 I agree, and I know. Anyway,

Speaker 3 what else? The sneaky way is social media has become the ultimate infidelity machine. The so-called innocent red flags to watch for.

Speaker 3 I was halfway through my morning coffee when my phone buzzed with an Instagram DM. Hey, what's up? Harmless enough, right?

Speaker 3 Except it was from a radio executive I knew by reputation, but had never met. He was extremely successful and riding on the coattails of some big-name shows he had been put in charge of.

Speaker 3 Safe to say, I was very excited to hear from him. He wanted to take me to lunch to discuss a potential new show that I would headline.
I mean, is that...

Speaker 3 I feel like that's sort of like clearly you could read into that easy, a very sleazy inroad, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I told you about the time that my dad got a text that somebody wanted him to be a TV chef.
It's like, obviously, dad, this is fake. You have no, you have no tape online.
There's nothing there.

Speaker 1 Like this person just, oh, and you have to wire me $1,500 now for us to get your tape over to the person. No.

Speaker 1 Read the room, people. Read the room.

Speaker 3 I'm just imagining your father calling you and going, should we roleplay?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Pick up your your samsung galaxy please

Speaker 3 oh it's my dad hello hello benjamin yes benjamin yes yes i'm here benjamin you can hear me yes i've made it you've pocket dialed me 19 times today hollywood of hollywood has called and i will be having my own program it's going to be a food program and they're shooting at a new studio built in nigeria you know this this

Speaker 1 dad no

Speaker 3 It seems to be subsidized by the royal family of Nigeria. And they're calling me, they're calling me the 70-something Jewish Bobby Flay.

Speaker 3 And they've also asked for my bank wiring because they want to give me an advance.

Speaker 1 Dad, it's a scam.

Speaker 3 Benjamin, we've made it big.

Speaker 1 No one in Nigeria wants to work with you.

Speaker 1 Don't give them anything.

Speaker 3 I wanted to tell you that big big news. And another big news: I'm ordering more chopped liver, but I'm going to need to have it door dashed.
Can you help your father?

Speaker 1 Yes, Uber Eats. Mom needs her daily dose.
I take creatine every morning. My mom takes chopped liver.

Speaker 3 Your mother, your mother has been eating chopped liver at Equinox, and I'm worried we're going to get kicked off our membership.

Speaker 3 She eats chopped liver on the ellipticals.

Speaker 3 I said, Ava, this is my sugar with this chopped liver.

Speaker 1 She can't stop me.

Speaker 1 Oh my God.

Speaker 1 Okay, I have to go to work. I'll call you back.

Speaker 1 What a beauty.

Speaker 1 Oh, God.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 my God.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 Is he anything like that?

Speaker 1 No. No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Good. No.

Speaker 3 But that was gold.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 It's just like with my mom, though, like, my mother doesn't sound like this, but she does to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yes.
You know? Yes. Yes.
It's funny. I thought your mom sounded like that.

Speaker 1 I need to hear your mom's voice. You need to hear my dad's voice.

Speaker 3 Should we get to a speakpipe?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 If you want to leave us a message, if you want to ask us a question, if you want some advice, go to speakpipe.com slash good guys. Keep it brief.
Brevity is key.

Speaker 3 Don't give us your what are you nutses we don't care this first one's from I don't know

Speaker 5 okay I have a situation people give me a hard time for paying for other people in a grocery store that are in front of me or in back of me so I do it anyways especially if I think they're struggling but I also hand out money to the homeless well people are telling me I need to stop paying for people in the grocery store and only give to the homeless, but I think I should do both.

Speaker 5 What do you guys think?

Speaker 1 Love the show, by the way

Speaker 1 love this man me too that said it sounded a little uh you're bragging 100

Speaker 1 it's like i keep throwing my i don't know because of my gigantic penis should i get back surgery i don't know what to do you know i give so much and people are telling me i should only give here but i want to give everywhere obviously this is not a problem like paying for the person in front of you's groceries is so awesome and honestly josh i'm going to adopt that practice.

Speaker 1 That's a nice practice. You know, if you see someone, that said, it could get very awkward.
What if you try to pay for somebody's groceries, Josh? Okay.

Speaker 1 You think that they need you to, but they really don't. Like if somebody tried to pay for my groceries, I would be incredibly offended because I don't need you to pay for my groceries.

Speaker 1 This is a slippery slope. You have to be very careful.
Very careful. That said, it's really nice if you, if you pick somebody that actually needs it.
And yeah, give to the homeless.

Speaker 1 It's nice, but also be careful.

Speaker 3 make sure that i don't know i prefer to give food i agree and i think my only two aversions ever to giving money is recently i was going to give money to someone i thought was homeless and then but they were on a laptop and i just that was hard that one was hard and i they had starlink and so i was like maybe i'll give it to the next person and then the other one i just if you have on nicer shoes than me it's hard for me to be like here's a couple of dollars other than that i try to give give as much and as frequently as I can.

Speaker 3 And I don't try to overthink it. It's just like, if someone is in the position to beg, like you, it will be a net positive.

Speaker 3 Like if you give to 10 people, like of that, maybe two of them are have some, you know, nefarious interests. But like for the most part, you're helping someone get a bite to eat.

Speaker 3 Or so what if they're getting a beer? Like let them have a nice time. They're having a hard enough go at it.
Agreed. You know?

Speaker 1 Aligned. Yes, totally.
Can't ever give too much.

Speaker 3 Yes. Give till it hurts.
They say give till it hurts.

Speaker 1 Sure.

Speaker 3 Next one from Anonymous.

Speaker 6 Hey, Josh and Ben. Quick gym etiquette question.
So this morning I was at the gym doing my, doing my thing. It's in between like 6.30 and 7 a.m.
And I have like...

Speaker 6 a couple weights around me like maybe like two 10s 215s nothing crazy and there's a deadlift area next to me and there's a guy over there kind of doing his thing whatever and he comes over to me and he says hey like i'm not telling you to move i'm not trying to get you in my video, but I am going to record myself in a second.

Speaker 6 And like, I would probably be in the background. So I was like, okay, thanks, like, for the heads up.
But what do you think is the etiquette there?

Speaker 6 Like, I definitely think it was nice that he told me, but like, I had like a good spot where like I was kind of like near everything that I needed. I ended up moving anyways because I was done.

Speaker 6 But like, I just have been thinking about it all day. Like, what's, what's the etiquette there?

Speaker 1 The etiquette, I would say, is that you don't film. One, you don't film other people, but you certainly don't inconvenience other people while you're filming.

Speaker 1 You wait until if this guy should go, I guess she was there at 6.30 in the morning, Josh. He probably tried to go when it would be empty.
But I guess this guy really has got to go much earlier.

Speaker 1 You got to belong to 24-hour fitness. Go at 4 in the morning.
Nobody can be there and film yourself. Film when nobody's there.
You can't just film when people are there. That's not right.
I agree.

Speaker 3 6.30 is actually probably one of the busiest times for gyms because it's when people go before work. Like, I think the hot zones are like 6 to 8.30 and probably from 4 to 7.

Speaker 1 Yeah. When people are getting

Speaker 3 off of work. But

Speaker 3 yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 3 I saw someone filming at the gym today and I don't want to knock someone's hustle. And if I always appreciate it when gyms are like, cut that out.
Don't film here.

Speaker 3 Especially some gyms in LA have to because there's so many fitness creators where they're like, dude, like at this point, like there's very, there's no way to be keeping everyone's face out of this thing.

Speaker 3 But if you're going to go, then it's incumbent on you to do it at off times. Like figure it out.

Speaker 3 Either go like at two, one or two, it's going to be empty, or go late at night or super early in the morning. And it's better that way.

Speaker 3 Then you don't have to worry about like a bunch of people, you know, messing up your shot. And yeah.

Speaker 1 Jim etiquette.

Speaker 3 Little gym etiquette.

Speaker 1 That's it. That's it.
Just care about the people around you. Give a shit.
Yes. Okay.

Speaker 3 Give a shit. Yeah.
Try that. Why don't you? Next one from Michelle.

Speaker 3 Hey, good guys. Big fan.

Speaker 6 My question for you is, can I call myself a Jew?

Speaker 3 My father is Jewish, but my mother is not.

Speaker 6 I know there's a big debate about patrilineal Jews.

Speaker 3 What are your thoughts?

Speaker 1 Patrilineal. I don't know what that word means, but I'm going to.
Pater.

Speaker 1 Okay, cool. So, yes, technically, you're not Jewish.
That said, I would,

Speaker 1 I want you. We want you.
You're here. So no, no issues calling yourself Jewish.

Speaker 1 I I would say, though, that if you plan on dating Jews, it's important that you think about truly converting because then you're actually Jewish.

Speaker 1 I would say that it's more important to your, if it's important to your husband, let's start there.

Speaker 1 If it's important to the person that, the Jew that you plan on marrying, then you should probably convert. But there are probably plenty of Jews that don't care at all.

Speaker 1 And my second question would be, are you planning on marrying somebody Jewish? Because if you're not, then you can call yourself Jewish all you want and it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 It's more about the person that you're marrying.

Speaker 3 But in terms of you're you're Jewish.

Speaker 1 If you if you feel Jewish, your dad's Jewish, you Jewish, Josh.

Speaker 3 But would you say that what if their father is Jewish, but they're raised Jewish? They don't have to convert then.

Speaker 1 It depends on who they marry. It depends on what their spouse wants.
Like to me, if they were raised Jewish, the chances that the mother didn't convert to Judaism are so slim.

Speaker 1 And if she converted, then the daughter is Jewish, you know? So this is a very rare case where if she was raised Jewish, but just the dad is Jewish, it's rare. But to me, I'm the one to judge.

Speaker 1 Like she's Jewish. And I think that it's up to the person that she meets if they feel that she's Jewish enough for them.

Speaker 3 Right. But I guess I'm not understanding like, unless you're ultra Orthodox, if someone is where maybe the mother isn't Jewish, but she.

Speaker 3 isn't really dead set on, doesn't have religion or isn't really interested, like likes the idea of raising them Jewish and they observe the holidays and they have a bot mitzvah and the whole thing.

Speaker 3 And the father's Jewish.

Speaker 1 To me,

Speaker 3 the idea of saying to them, you have to convert now, she'd be like, what are you talking about? Like, I was raised Jewish. I'm half Jewish.
What's there to convert?

Speaker 1 So it's not an ultra religious thing, even the reform. Any Jew will say it goes by the mother.
It just does.

Speaker 3 But what is there to convert? Like go through conversion therapy?

Speaker 1 No, you have, well, no.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Definitely not conversion therapy, but you go through regular conversion where if the mother was Christian, technically you're Christian. That's just how it works across the whole religion.

Speaker 1 But that only matters if the person you're marrying cares. So if they don't care, then it's moot and you're Jewish, you know?

Speaker 3 I just can't imagine reform. I can understand if you're very religious, but I can't imagine a reformed person who is going to like some wonderful reconstructionist synagogue with a female rabbi and

Speaker 3 every now and then has a pork chop, would say, yeah, but that is such a double standard.

Speaker 1 Agreed, but they care through the mother. It's just, it is.
But so, because it's so rare, Josh, the, what we're talking about here, I don't even, I can't even imagine that it exists.

Speaker 1 Oh, it does.

Speaker 3 I think you live in a very secular, or not a secular, a very specific Jewish world.

Speaker 1 You think so?

Speaker 3 I think so.

Speaker 3 Okay. If my kids, if anyone told my kids they're not Jewish, I'd be like,

Speaker 3 nobody would tell the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 Of course, but nobody would tell your kids that they're not Jewish because they are Jewish.

Speaker 1 And what I'm saying is that once they go to get married, if they choose to marry somebody who's Jewish, then it will be up to them to decide if there's something more that they need to do or not.

Speaker 1 But until they meet that person, until they're whatever age, it's all about, it's, in the end of the day, it's all about marriage and then it's all about kids. Until then, in my opinion, it's moot.

Speaker 3 But I guess what I'm saying is if they met a reformed Jewish girl from like the city, from New York or from LA, I, in my circles, even if they were raised by two Jewish parents and had all the Jewish customs, if they were like, if my sons were like, we've done Shabbat a bunch of times, my uncle Ben didn't did an aliyah at my bar mitzvah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 We, you know, my dad's Jewish. My name is Shai.
Like,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 3 I don't think there's a world that a girl that they met in high school or in college or whoever, who was like very reform Jewish would ask them to convert.

Speaker 3 I think like maybe their parents would, the parents of the girl, there's a world and to which I would expect both of them to tell those parents to go fuck.

Speaker 1 Yeah. The truth is, in that specific scenario, I don't think that there's a world in which anybody would ever think that they weren't Jewish.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 Well, but that's kind of what you're saying is like, yes, but if we're going to do it by the book, but I can't imagine any reformed person caring.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it totally depends. It totally depends.
Like, it's just, it's a, it's a case by case, but in my experience, regardless of reform,

Speaker 1 anything.

Speaker 1 it it typically goes through the mother. It's just the way that I've understood it.
But that again, you're right.

Speaker 1 But again, it doesn't matter until you get married and whoever you're with do they care or do they not care and if they do care what i will say is that conversion especially to reform judaism is not the same process of converting to orthodox judaism and in that case it really doesn't matter so honestly coming full circle it probably doesn't matter it probably doesn't I agree.

Speaker 3 And I hear what you're saying, though.

Speaker 1 And your boys are Jewish. I didn't realize in the middle of it.

Speaker 1 Now I understand where we're coming from. But by the book, it's a different story.
But your boys are absolutely Jewish. Woody nuts.

Speaker 3 Yeah, what are you nuts? Let's do this.

Speaker 1 Okay, first, Josh, it's a two-part what are you nuts. I took the train here.
The train in New York City is just a what are you nuts in general? Like, I'm just, I'm looking around me.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I'm going to get stabbed.

Speaker 3 All the cops. All the cops are on it now, no?

Speaker 1 I know. I know.
I don't even feel better about it. It's like, I shouldn't be somewhere that cops are.
Like, you don't want to be around a crime scene. I don't want it.
It's just too much.

Speaker 1 That said, I'm sitting on the train, Josh, coming to this lovely podcast studio. And I look across from me and there's a girl there with literally an enormous Chanel bag.
Enormous.

Speaker 1 Like this is like a, probably a nine, $10,000. This is a big bag.
And I see she like looks uncomfortable. She's like trying to like hide the Chanel logo.
She's looking down. What are you nuts?

Speaker 1 What are you nuts? Who brings a, who brings a $9,000 Chanel bag onto a subway? Like, there are things. I get it.
I'm nervous. I don't wear a watch.
I'm wearing nothing. I'm just myself.

Speaker 1 I'm on the train. I don't feel good.
I don't feel safe because it's just, you know, you're bringing your almost $10,000 Chanel bag on the train.

Speaker 3 You're going to make yourself sick.

Speaker 1 Leave it at home. Who are you trying to impress? Take a cab.
Sit in traffic if you want to wear that bag. But if you're going to take the subway, no $10,000 bag.
What are you nuts?

Speaker 3 Love it. I agree.
My woody nuts is the other day I was, a friend of mine posted a photo of his beautiful kids. We're not really friends.
And a guy I know. And adorable.

Speaker 1 These children were adorable.

Speaker 3 Five and three years old, gorgeous. And I'm looking, you know, at him and I'm like, oh, good for him.
He's a beautiful family. This little five-year-old, such a sweetie.

Speaker 3 And then I make it to the three-year-old and I notice a passy in his mouth.

Speaker 3 The child is three.

Speaker 1 Woody and nuts. I've definitely said this before, but my grandfather, Isidore, who then decided to go by William, breastfed until he was seven.

Speaker 3 I had an Izzy.

Speaker 1 You did?

Speaker 1 Isidore William breastfed till he was seven. So.
