[Josh Peck]

No subject too small for the Good Guys. A mother's dream premium podcast team. Make it your weekly routine.

[Ben Soffer]

It's a Good Guys. And if you don't give us five stars.

[Josh Peck]

What are you nuts?

[Ben Soffer]

What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys.

[Josh Peck]

They're not the great guys.

[Ben Soffer]

We're just the good of the good guys.

[Josh Peck]

Mazlomorons. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I'm sitting here with my co host, Ben Soffern.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm sitting here with my co host, the gorgeous bare leg, Josh Peck. Do tell, Josh. God, you're looking so leggy. I've never seen these legs look like this before. What's going on? You're looking like me.

[Josh Peck]

I know, and it kills me. No, it's unacceptable. It's unacceptable. That's Chrissy D's joke, by the way.

[Ben Soffer]

Chrissy D. Ledge, legend in the biz. Not a good friend. I thought we were. I won't say that.

[Josh Peck]

Definitely not.

[Ben Soffer]

Just. Just an acquaintance. That if he wanted to pursue a more formal relationship with me, I would be open. But for me to call him a close personal friend would not be true.

[Josh Peck]

No, you should not be sending him your best bereavement notices when you think that his father, who's very much alive, has sadly passed.

[Ben Soffer]

That was so nuts of me. Like, top five most nuts things I've ever done nuts.

[Josh Peck]

You was I thinking you thought that his father passed away from an Instagram post and you reached out, which is nice.

[Ben Soffer]

I did reach out. If you haven't listened to this episode, you should go back. You should honestly listen to all of them. I'm not even gonna tell you what episode it's in. Listen to all of them and find the story. But yes, I saw Chrissy D. Posted something about his father. He did, in my defense, make it seem like his dad had passed. So I reached out and I said, I'm so sorry to hear that your father passed. Wishing you well. And he said, dude, my dad's alive. And I was like.

[Josh Peck]

Then what did you say?

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, no, I don't even remember. What did I say?

[Josh Peck]

Yippee.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, tell me about the shorts. Stop deflecting.

[Josh Peck]

Well, these shorts. Vori. Shout out. Love them. Shout out, Yori. So listen, I wear pants on this podcast because I'm old school showbiz babe. And there should be just. In life in general, but a dress code, okay? The way these people dress. And yes, I know I'm slightly including you in Here. But I love you. You wear your underwear at Sinai West. Okay.

[Ben Soffer]

Do you see these slippers? These are fantastic. I'll get you a pair if you want. It's called, the company's called Brunch and they did a collab at the Beverly Hills Hotel. My feet have never been cozier.

[Josh Peck]

You're a wild kid and I do support you and I accept you.

[Ben Soffer]

That's true. That's true. Thank you.

[Josh Peck]

I, on the other hand, people say Josh Peck. What do they say? They say Paul Newman. They say old school class. They say, you know, the white Sidney Portier. And they do usually say Paul Newman.

[Ben Soffer]

That's, that's what they do.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

Josh Peck, Paul Newman.

[Josh Peck]

Yes. A Jewish icon.

[Ben Soffer]

King of salad dressings. Newman's Own.

[Josh Peck]

Newman's Own. So good. So I was shooting a, you know, one of my signature tiktoks earlier today and I needed some breadsticks. So I went to a famous Italian eatery that's probably in direct conflict with Applebee's. So I will not be naming them. And they definitely don't have a 2 for 25 deal. No.

[Ben Soffer]

And they have a, they have a 2 for give you diarrhea deal.

[Josh Peck]

100 zinger bang, poop bang. And so I go and I get breadsticks and I'm like, while I'm here, I might as well get a chicken and shrimp carbonara. Sure. I just want to bite. I just want to taste. I want a little something. I went to yoga this morning. That's how sick I am. That's how you know you can't fix me. No GLP1 is going to rewire this fucking hornet's nest in here that goes after a 60min yoga class. I'm going to eat pasta and cream sauce on my drive here.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm not even worried about the pasta and cream sauce. I'm specifically worried about the shrimp from this venue that will remain unnamed.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, it was those micro mini shrimps too that you know was made by Cisco.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh man. Lab grown. Nothing like a lab grown shrimp.

[Josh Peck]

That's how I like it. Farm raised. You know, I'm usually an expert driving an eater. I don't drink and drive, but I do eat and drive.

[Ben Soffer]

Wait, you're eating a fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and shrimp while driving? What are you nuts?

[Josh Peck]

It's a carbonara, dick.

[Ben Soffer]

How did you even hold it?

[Josh Peck]

This is safe fusilli, okay? It's a classy noodle, you fuck.

[Ben Soffer]

This is not safe driving. What did you do, hold the tin with your teeth? One hand on the wheel and one hand scooping. That's insane.

[Josh Peck]

I drive a car from the head of the Doge department, okay.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, so you were self driving? It was self driving while I was doing it?

[Josh Peck]

No, I was. I had my knee on and I was.

[Ben Soffer]

You're like, no, I specifically turned off self driving. I wanted to test myself how many.

[Josh Peck]

Shrimps I was in a shoe.

[Ben Soffer]

How many shrimps can I eat while going? 75?

[Josh Peck]

Apparently not many. Cause I spilled that shit all over my. My favorite reigning champ. Pants that are like an athleisure wear, but classy. And I was like, oh, God, this is beyond repair. Like, this is cream sauce on black pants. Like, I cannot show up to dear media like this. But I always have gym clothes in the back of my car. So here I am, lights out. I'm sorry.

[Ben Soffer]

I think you're. I think you're just far more approachable in shorts and I would recommend you wear them more often. You work on those legs and I'm just saying you look like you're ready to have a good time. Sometimes you show up in pants. I'm like, what, did this guy just get out of a date in court? No.

[Josh Peck]

Am I ever unapproachable?

[Ben Soffer]

No, not to me. But I'm just. I'm just saying that you are very approachable right now in these shorts. Yeah, those cap, those calves are looking great.

[Josh Peck]

Can you imagine? Olivia, you might want to excuse yourself.

[Ben Soffer]

No, those calves are through the roof. Those calves clearly are not on a GLP that's slowly eating away at the lean muscle mass. That is full blown muscle mass.

[Josh Peck]

Okay, what about those?

[Ben Soffer]

Those are. We're currently looking at his. His traps, tries, thighs, quads. Quads, Quads. Wow, that's nice. I'm just saying, if you're only listening, you're missing out on what is basically OnlyFans. Like, Josh just fully showed us like.

[Josh Peck]

A little bit of some fans. Not only fans, some fans.

[Ben Soffer]

He showed us just like a little bit of his sack. This is just a touch.

[Josh Peck]

This is remnants of 300, my documentary.

[Ben Soffer]

Remnants of 300. Remnants of 300.

[Josh Peck]

And it's just a little extra knee skin right around there.

[Ben Soffer]

Did you see Josh that they're casting for the new season of 1000 pound sisters?

[Josh Peck]

Where do we sign up?

[Ben Soffer]

I sent you the length.

[Josh Peck]

That's so awesome.

[Ben Soffer]

Right? I'm just saying, like, I would transition if they let us be 1000 pound sisters.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, then we're going to need a GLP 1000 to take that weight off.

[Ben Soffer]

When do you Be the role of a lifetime. Josh, to play a £1,000 sister, you're going to need to gain £800 and transition. But you could do it. And then the reversal, I mean, it's no different than what's his name in the whale?

[Josh Peck]

No, he. Yeah, totally.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm in. I'm in. You tell me when and where I'm in.

[Josh Peck]

Tell me a. I know we've. I think we've done this on the pod before, but, like, completely. I'm not talking wheels off, like trying to be Brendan Frazier in the Whale. But, like, just, you're like, I've had a great. Okay. You weigh in at like the lowest you've ever weighed in. And you happen to play a full court basketball game at 5am before you have eaten anything for the day. You go, today is a free day. I'm not going to judge. I'm not going to limit. I'm not going to be an insane person. I don't want to make myself sick. But what does that day look like?

[Ben Soffer]

Ooh. Okay, so it's already an insane day. If I'm having a gluttonous breakfast, like, if I'm having. If I'm going in IHOP style and I'm grabbing just like syrupy custardy deliciousness, it's over for me. So if the day is over for me, if that's what you're saying, then, oh, baby, I'm getting a nice challah French toast drenched in syrup. I love that. So nice and thick. Absolutely fantastic. When it's undercooked, it almost creates a custard. I love a chocolate chip pancake, Josh. Yeah, I love just like piled high chocolate chips again, some butter, pat of butter, some beautiful syrup. The theme here is syrup, Josh. I love syrup. I love jelly, I love powdered sugar. Anything like that, that's what's going in for breakfast. Then for lunch. The thing is, I might be asleep. Like, that type of breakfast will knock me out. But I'll go in for a pasta. I liked what you said. Maybe a nice fettuccine. Maybe a nice fettuccine. I like some hard peas. I love a fettuccine with peas. And then at night, I don't know, I'm continuing down this carb train. I'm going pizza, we're going pasta. Get all that protein out of here. Unless it's going to be a chicken parm. But for me, it's going to start in the morning with a gluttonous breakfast and it's going to end with An Italian feast.

[Josh Peck]

You sure? So I wake up and I bang a couple Adderall, right? Cause it's like, you know what I'm like, I deserve it. But any professional taker of amphetamine has learned to eat through it. My good friend Jaime, may his memory be a blessing. He said, the thing about speed is, Josh, once you learn you can eat through it, you do it. And I said, jaime, there's a lot going on back, back behind those eyes, isn't there? And he says, you have no idea, brother.

[Ben Soffer]

That sucks.

[Josh Peck]

It really sucks.

[Ben Soffer]

Tell them Ben Soffer, celebrity chef, sent you to Applebee's because Applebee's is iconic and you need this chicken parmesan fettuccine and their new bangin burger. I'm telling you, folks, otherwise. What are you nuts?

[Josh Peck]

So then I'm waking up. Okay, what? Let me. Here's the thing. Like for you, it's French toast, It's syrup. It's like that's when you know you've fallen off the rails. For me, it's a sugary ass drink. I'll go to Dunkin Donuts and bang, like an ice culada, delicious whipped cream, 6, 700 cal, super caffeinated, super delicious caramel crunch macchiato. Fucking jerk off thing.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, my God, like 128 grams of sugar. One of those situations. A big guy.

[Josh Peck]

Sick.

[Ben Soffer]

Sick. You know what's so funny? I never. That never did it for me. I like diet drinks. I think I just like the artificial taste. I could have, Josh. I could have 12 diet peach snapples in one sitting. 12? Yeah, sure, like endless. But the second I get one regular Peach Snapple in me, I don't want any more. Same thing with Coke. One Coke, 40 Diet Cokes. What's better for you, Josh? One Diet. 12 Diet Peach Snapples or one regular Peach Snapple? Probably the one regular.

[Josh Peck]

You know, they don't pay me the big bucks to think that big.

[Ben Soffer]

I don't know.

[Josh Peck]

But you know what? It's 12 more facts.

[Ben Soffer]

12 more.

[Josh Peck]

12 more facts on the cap.

[Ben Soffer]

12 more facts on the cap. I love a Snapple fact. All right, your culada. 128 grams of sugar, 700 million calories. That's when you know you've fallen off the rails.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, I'm banging that. But here's the real thing. This would make me, Josh, super happy. I wake up and I have five, six cereals, big boxes, right?

[Ben Soffer]

And I get a big metal bowl.

[Josh Peck]

Out like you would be you'd use.

[Ben Soffer]

To make a cake.

[Josh Peck]

But I'm using it to feed my big fat face.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes, yes.

[Josh Peck]

And then I take.

[Ben Soffer]

What kind of spoon are you using? You're using a big spoon.

[Josh Peck]

A ladle, my boy. It's ladle season.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay, Leesin.

[Josh Peck]

And now I'm smacking. I'm throwing them in there. I'm throwing. And I don't need whole milk. That's nuts. But I'm doing 2%. And I'm banging Lucky Charms, Reese's Puffs. I'm doing, you know, I don't know, whatever. Whatever. I feel like I'm doing some special edition where they're doing, like, tricks, Lucky Charms mix, you know?

[Ben Soffer]

You know that there are people in the world, Josh, who use whole milk and then drink it after. What are you, nuts? Cereal milk in cereal is simply meant to soften the cereal. You get a little bit of milk with every bite. But guzzling down 2 cups of milk after you've had a bowl of Reese's Puffs. I'm sorry, that's crazy.

[Josh Peck]

You have said that before. But I'm that guy.

[Ben Soffer]

It's crazy.

[Josh Peck]

It's skim milk, but. Or sometimes I use protein milk.

[Ben Soffer]

All right? So, by the way, skim and protein milk, fine. Let's harp on the whole milk. Too much.

[Josh Peck]

It's A lot.

[Ben Soffer]

Too much dairy in the morning.

[Josh Peck]

Then I want to make my way. So now I've banged out like literally 15 hundo calories of cereal. Then I'm probably. I want a mid morning snack. It's probably donuts. Couple donuts, get, get four to six and eat a quarter to a half of both or of all. So now I've had six donuts, but I've really only had about two and a half to three. That's how. That's my mental calculus.

[Ben Soffer]

Donuts are so good. Donuts are so good.

[Josh Peck]

Asian lunch. I'm talking either like a sushi feast or a Shanghai rice cakes din Tai Fung soup dumpling type lunch. Bang it out. I want some high gluten rice, sticky as frick. I want to get nuts. I want to black out at din tai fung in the dumpling making station.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm swapping out my lunch. I need Chinese. Give me a general chows and a million soup dumplings. God, that sounds good.

[Josh Peck]

Then I'm doing my favorite combo. I call it a sober shotgun. It's two ibuprofen, one tylenol. This is a sober speedball and it is fun, fun, fun, fun. Right? And that's gonna get me through. Then I'm napping and then it's a carbone type Italian dinner and some kind of mint chip lava cake for dinner. I guess I said I wasn't gonna go off the rails. I'm off.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm far off the rails. You're off the rails? That sounds fantastic. You brought up donuts and it made me think of something. Josh, the donut to bagel, okay, is like the tortilla to a wrap. Why is it so much easier if I asked you? Josh, I want you to eat 10 plain wraps. You couldn't do it. But if I asked you to eat 50 Tostitos, you have no problem.

[Josh Peck]

Sure.

[Ben Soffer]

Similarly, if I asked you to eat 10 donuts, if I asked you to eat 10 bagels, no chance. Why?

[Josh Peck]

God, that is a good question, Ben.

[Ben Soffer]

Right. Why? Why? I don't know. That's why I asked you.

[Josh Peck]

Why?

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. Why? Olivia, say something. Why Produce. Would you let me say the wonders of the world? Why? I think it's the density of the caloric density, right?

[Josh Peck]

I don't know. But chips have gotta be more dense calorically than wraps. They're fried.

[Ben Soffer]

I'll take it. The caloric density. That's it. That sounds good to me. Lighter. I don't know why. I don't know why.

[Josh Peck]

It's hard to know. It's hard to know. All right, so give me. Give me a Ruby update. I need a rubes update.

[Ben Soffer]

My little Ruby.

[Josh Peck]

My Russian ruble.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay? Ruby is just so unbelievably gorgeous and fudgy. The boy is sleeping well, Josh. Last night he gave us a nine to three. How special is that? A nine to three?

[Josh Peck]

This boy is eating well. That's how you know he's eating well. He is satiated.

[Ben Soffer]

He's eating great. He's growing great. BH, he's doing great. He loves being outside, Josh. He loves like a nice three hour stroller walk. Just the walk. It's fantastic. It's fantastic. Just walk and talk and, you know, take some calls. He's great. We took him to the beach. Ruby's first beach. He stayed in his duna under the shade, slept to the sound of the waves. We have this little fan that we kept on him. So he stayed nice and cool. Man, this kid is killing it. He's loving life. And BH. He is fantastic so far.

[Josh Peck]

Did you put his tootsies in the sand?

[Ben Soffer]

I wanted to. We didn't though. Get too hot. I'm just too nervous. I don't know. Maybe give him. He's still. He's still so fresh. I wanted to put his feet in the ocean. I want him to reconnect with the ocean.

[Josh Peck]

Yes.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. We got to wait.

[Josh Peck]

Maybe under an umbrella. You couldn't. I mean, the sand's cool under the umbrella. No.

[Ben Soffer]

I guess. I guess we could have. I guess we could have. But we didn't. Too worried. I gotta stop being such a worrywart. The number. I'm so worried. Number one time that I'm worried. Josh. The bath. Bath time scares the shit out of me. I'm just. Even though I'm holding his head. Claude's washing him. We're doing. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. It's great. I'm just always worried he's gonna drown. I'm literally holding his head. But I'm worried he's gonna drown.

[Josh Peck]

That's cuckoo. But it is a first time. Dad.

[Ben Soffer]

No. I'm cuckoo right now. For sure. I'm cuckoo. But he's sleeping great. He's living life, bro.

[Josh Peck]

Shai fell down the stairs yesterday. Okay? It's all going to go away quick. No one called the authorities on me. These things happen.

[Ben Soffer]

God forbid.

[Josh Peck]

God forbid. I. I go. Shy.

[Ben Soffer]

What? What do you say?

[Josh Peck]

Dad?

[Ben Soffer]

I don't want any of your carbonara. Shut up. Shy.

[Josh Peck]

How dare you. I told him. I said shy. Don't go up the stairs alone. How many times have I said this? All of a sudden I just hear, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

[Ben Soffer]

He goes, I fell down the stairs. It's honestly, is there anything sad? It's so sad. But, like, then do they learn? People love to say then they'll never do it again. They learned. I feel like they'll do it again.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah. The second time he. It was only about three or four stairs. He just kind of rolls down and he like, comes out at the bottom. And then I do my quick neurological scan where I go, look at me in my eyes.

[Ben Soffer]

And.

[Josh Peck]

And he goes. He, like, scowls at me. And I make sure that none of his pupils are dilated. And then I start asking him, because he's not, you know, he's only. He's not even three yet, so I can't be like, you know, what year is it? So I go, who am I? And he goes, josh, who's your teacher? He goes, miss so and so. And I'm like, who's that? And he goes, max.

[Ben Soffer]

And I go, you're fine, you're fine. Poor boy.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, dude, these things happen, bro. We've talked about this on the pod, but it also is public knowledge. Billy Stamos, John Stamos, his son, who's about eight months older than Max when Max was. Couldn't have been. I don't know, I don't even think he was one yet. Billy, who was like, you know, only eight months older, so a little over one bit Max in the face. Like, bit him in the face. Yeah, he's fine.

[Ben Soffer]

These kids in the biting. God, it's so scary out there. Like, a kid bites my kid. God, that stinks. You don't know where that kid's mouth has been. I guess you know where Billy Stamos his mouth has been, but in general, you know where you. You don't know where these mouths have been. That's the best Chappelle. What is that? What is that? Is that grease on your shirt? Dad, it's Duck. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Function. Folks.

[Josh Peck]

Everything is good, man. You know, we're just like. I have three kids. It's pretty wild. And we're out here living like truly living. My kids are in camp and school and then Meyer's just like chilling. I take my son to basketball camp, college near our house. It's very official, very official. And yeah, we're just doing the thing and, and I don't know, it's interesting. I. I don't know how this will come across. So maybe we'll cut it out, maybe we won't. But I think it's interesting, right, because it's July. I don't think I told you this, Ben.

[Ben Soffer]

Tell me.

[Josh Peck]

Was supposed to be born on. On July 5th, and then the doctor decided he needed to come a week early and it's this, you know, it's really. It's even less regimented. Cause camp hours are weird. They go to different camps throughout the summer. It's not like when Max is in school and Shy will be in school. So everything's kind of set for 10 months, right?

[Ben Soffer]

Yep.

[Josh Peck]

So Paige really needs me. And as you know, her and the great Claudia both had major surgeries. Can't drive right after. It's takes some recovery time. It's amazing what women do. A week before Paige is due to give birth, I got offered the biggest thing I've ever been offered.

[Ben Soffer]

What the hell?

[Josh Peck]

And to go do a TV show, to go replace someone through December in Canada. And I.

[Ben Soffer]

You tell me. You tell me nothing.

[Josh Peck]

Because I turned it down still. I had to, right, Olivia?

[Ben Soffer]

No, no, no, no. By the way, you had, you had, you had to. You had to. It's. Yeah, no, you had to. And I'm just letting you know that because you turned it down, something bigger will come. Much bigger, I'm telling you, Much bigger. Not in Canada, in lager.

[Josh Peck]

Than Oy to the World, the second Jewish Hallmark movie. No, I'm kidding. I did get offered that too, though.

[Ben Soffer]

Well, that you should have taken.

[Josh Peck]

Oh, Shout Out. I would love to do that, by the way.

[Ben Soffer]

Just me in as an extra. Just like let me be the rabbi or something.

[Josh Peck]

Can you imagine? It is going to happen, Hallmark, we are threading that needle. This is going to work. And you just keep coming at me and I'm going to keep coming at you and we are going to come together and it's going to be flipping fireworks.

[Ben Soffer]

Come together. But Josh, I am proud of you for turning it down. It must have been very, very difficult to do that. And honestly, something better will come. Everything for a reason. I'm telling you, it's good.

[Josh Peck]

I appreciate you and I know it was the right move. And it was hard and it wasn't hard. It was, it was hard for the old version of me that is so indoctrinated with the style in which I lived my life for so long before I had a wife and kids. And then the other part of me, the moment I said, I'm sorry, I can't do it, I was so relieved. And it was, it was so interesting because I literally got a call at like Thursday night at 5:00 from my agent, was out of breath. This has never happened. He's like, this just came in. Sorry for the brevity. What do you think? Amazing part. Huge show through November in Canada. You have to leave Monday. And I'm like, paige is giving birth in two weeks. He's like, I know they'll let you come home for the birth for a couple days and then you'll go back and you'll be back and forth through November. And so I was like, I can't. Let me ask Paige. So I, I went and talked to Paige and she's great, as she always is. She's like, do it. You might miss the birth. Because the doctor has already told me I could go anytime in the next two weeks and Canada's not close. And I was like, gotcha, I won't do it. And that was it. And I knew she needed me. And of course the next day they moved up the delivery a week, so I definitely couldn't have gone and done it. And.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Josh Peck]

And you know what? And it made me really think about what I want because it's. And I know this is champagne problems and I really appreciate it, but trust me, like, usually like I'm. The big offer that's come in is like, do you want to do, you know, a two episode arc on iCarly, the third reboot, shout out.

[Ben Soffer]

Do you want to be Neville Papperman's granddad? Yeah, Pappy Papperman.

[Josh Peck]

They're like, oh, they're rebooting Saved by the Bell, and they need, like, a new Screech, and I'm like, I guess I'm available. How much is it?

[Ben Soffer]

They're doing the life of Leno for.

[Josh Peck]

Peacock Digital here to nail him out. I don't know what to do. I really love Kash, but do I do Letterman's My Friend? I love you, Mavis.

[Ben Soffer]

You do that scene of him falling down the hill. Great.

[Josh Peck]

Can you imagine? They put me in age makeup up. Oh, just get a quick bite before my.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, shit. Bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk. So dumb.

[Josh Peck]

I'll never stay at the Hampton Inn again. He was at Hampton Inn. So, yeah, it makes me wonder about, like, I'm always going to choose my family, and I know that I'm in a uniquely privileged place that we make a nice living from this. You and I both have other businesses and whatnot. I'm no longer that typical actor story where my sole income is based on booking something and it affords me the.

[Ben Soffer]

Opportunity to say no and not to preach too much. You know, I'm like a spiritual person. Attract. What? Like. Like the laws of attraction. I'm telling you that by you declining something that could have been so big for you and putting out of your head what you need, those things are just gonna come.

[Josh Peck]

Mm.

[Ben Soffer]

Like, I'm telling you, it's like, such a weird thing. At least with me, for the longest time, the things that I chased and never got, when I stopped chasing, they came.

[Josh Peck]

Sure.

[Ben Soffer]

And maybe some people are turning off the pod now because I sound like Jay Shetty, but I swear, it's a thing. It's like, if you are so focused, it's the same thing. It's like if you're so focused on what's wrong in your life, you're only gonna see what's wrong. But if you're so focused on what's great in your life, you're only gonna see what's great. If you're so focused on what you don't have, you're never gonna have it. If you're so focused on what you do have, you're never. You're going to have the things that you didn't have. It's wild. So I'm telling you that by declining, you're going to get tenfold back.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah.

[Ben Soffer]

God, I'm so insightful.

[Josh Peck]

You really are insightful and sounds good. As long as it doesn't, you know, disrupt the podcast I'm in. But I don't really care.

[Ben Soffer]

This is. This Is a traveling pod. Look, this is not. You went to Canada, you needed me at odd hours. We're good. Honestly, Canada would be easier. I'm done with pst. Okay? I want to record in the morning. Can we record at 7am I'm down. Great. Go somewhere on E.T. no problems. That's good.

[Josh Peck]

Care of it. Stranger family dynamic. I need to record at 9am Just go. Should we get to a story?

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Josh Peck]

Please don't stop masturbating. It'll make you depressed and stressed out too. A new study says I won't. The New York Post. And they're. They're crack recording. Just beat it. A new study seems to confirm what most of us already knew deep down in our throbbing loins. Sexual pleasure is a boon for body and mind. And denying yourself that pleasure in any way is bad. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. In many ways, of course. A survey commissioned by the makers of a popular vibrator. What way to bury the lead? The Magic Wand would say that. But the statistics seem to be real. And experts appear to agree with the findings, citing a shift towards sexual wellness with a general understanding that using toys and giving yourself pleasure can have a positive impact.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay, sure. I believe it. I believe it. Yeah. You? Yeah.

[Josh Peck]

Why would you deny yourself? For what?

[Ben Soffer]

You shouldn't. You get all horned up. Go take care of yourself.

[Josh Peck]

It's so easy. I'm ne. My hand has never had a headache.

[Ben Soffer]

No.

[Josh Peck]

Gross. Gross. Ever in the history of us knowing each other.

[Ben Soffer]

Never.

[Josh Peck]

Yes. It's horrible. Oh, man.

[Ben Soffer]

I don't know. There's just like something. There's nothing wrong with it. It's not taboo. I mean, it's. People say it's taboo. There's nothing wrong with it. You do you. If you're feeling it, do it. Okay, do it. But do it for you. Don't do it for somebody else. Do it for you. And also, if you're with a partner, this I'll say. That's very anti. You doing it. Red flag.

[Josh Peck]

Super red flag.

[Ben Soffer]

Come on. You're not doing anything wrong. There's nothing wrong with it. Nothing. Nothing at all. That said, if you do it very frequently, I would highly recommend trying to stop for maybe a week. You'll feel much better. Yeah.

[Josh Peck]

Like my friend used to do it in the bathroom at work. You know that friend is hi me. My answer to you would be, stop it. Stop it now.

[Ben Soffer]

I would. I would stop it. It's very difficult to work while covered in your own cum. So walks out of the bathroom.

[Josh Peck]

Hey, Jimmy.

[Ben Soffer]

You have the Clam chowder again. Oh my God. What?

[Josh Peck]

You spill carbonara on yourself on the way here? Call back.

[Josh Peck]

Well, in the New York Post, serial killer inspired baby names are trending, revealing how culture can creep into our minds. Expecting parents are taking a stab at it. Villains, crooks and knife wielding nuts. Bad guys of society have quickly become good options for moms and dads as far as baby names go. So currently there are some pretty significant serial killer names that have come into fashion. Names like Anna of Anna Delvey or I'm sorry, she's just a con artist, not a murderer. Ted Bundy is one of the mass murderer names that has become more popular. Ted, I suppose.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. Okay, look, these are full names. Ted is a normal name. Anna is a normal name. The Post, you are reaching. Give me more.

[Josh Peck]

Well, they did say that Carol of Carole Baskin, the famous animal activist.

[Ben Soffer]

No one was thinking of Carole Baskin when they named their Daughter Carol. Please. It's a. You like Carol is a name. I don't like it.

[Josh Peck]

This article is a fucking mess.

[Ben Soffer]

I love it. I love it. There a mess. It's really. It honestly makes it funnier.

[Josh Peck]

Oh my God. The New York Post should be ashamed.

[Ben Soffer]

That's hilarious.

[Josh Peck]

What kind of racket are they running?

[Ben Soffer]

Parents are naming their kids after serial killers.

[Josh Peck]

Oh my God.

[Ben Soffer]

Ted and Anna. Maybe Ted they named after the bear.

[Josh Peck]

Ok, sure.

[Ben Soffer]

And Anna. Maybe they named after Wintour. Please, please, please.

[Josh Peck]

Well, I love Red Bull so much I got a barcode tattoo. It even scans at the grocery checkout. A Swiss woman is such a fan of Red Bull that the energy drink cans barcode tattooed on her skin and it amazingly works at self checkout. Pretty sick.

[Ben Soffer]

That is really cool. I love it. Red Bull should send her cans for life.

[Josh Peck]

But then what would she. What would she need the barcode for, Ben?

[Ben Soffer]

Ding. Oh God, you're so right.

[Josh Peck]

Ding.

[Ben Soffer]

You're so right. She played herself. She loves the brand so much that she can't ever get it for free. Otherwise she'd need to have her tattoo removed.

[Josh Peck]

How do you know if you're trashy? You've got a monster barcode.

[Ben Soffer]

By the way. How do you know you're trashy? You have a Red Bull barcode.

[Josh Peck]

Tell me you're from Bakersfield without telling me you're from Bakersfield.

[Ben Soffer]

Damn it, Josh. Now all our Bakersfield fans have left.

[Josh Peck]

No, they love us.

[Ben Soffer]

I agree.

[Josh Peck]

The Inland Empire loves us. Temecula.

[Ben Soffer]

I agree. They love. We should do a POD show in Temecula.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, we should do a podcast tour of the Central coast. Okay. I'm talking Stockton. I'm talking Fresno.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm in. You tell me when and where.

[Josh Peck]

Let's do a podcast tour of the worst cities in America. We're starting in Dayton.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm so down. We. We would just need to make sure that there are actual fans there. But I'm down the worst cities in America and we have to go to their local Denny's to try not to get shot.

[Josh Peck]

And it'll be a city in every state. So we're not like we're not picking on. Every state has a city that just. And maybe we donate some money to that city to make it better.

[Ben Soffer]

I love that, Josh. It's great. We could donate all the proceeds. So we make no money from the tour. We visit the worst cities in America and make no money.

[Josh Peck]

What a sign up tv.

[Ben Soffer]

They would for one season. Then we'd be axed.

[Josh Peck]

It's my Trend.

[Ben Soffer]

We need a home. Renault show. That's the dream, Josh. Okay, these frickin. What are they? What are the brothers called? What are their names?

[Josh Peck]

The Property Brothers.

[Ben Soffer]

God, what a dream. You show up, get a check, buy some crap house, throw in a couple of shekel, show the people, here's your new home. They're so happy. They're always so happy. Because what you showed them before was a dump, Josh. It was a dump. It's the opposite of being catfished. It's the opposite. Imagine if. Imagine if the premise of catfish was that you think you're meeting the ugly person. That's who you think you're meeting, but then you. You get the 10 out of 10.

[Josh Peck]

Love it.

[Ben Soffer]

Wow, that's two good shows. I'm just saying, if only TV weren't dead. Yeah, you know, dead. What a shame. What a shame. You know, it isn't dead. Josh, I had an amazing, amazing meal today. I just want to tell you about it. Do you have a best bite of the week?

[Josh Peck]

Sure, go for it.

[Ben Soffer]

Maybe we do. Best bites. Okay. My best bite of the week. Popeyes. Josh just came out on Uber Eats with their chicken dippers with a signature sauce. This sauce, Holy smokes, it will literally knock your socks off. A true 10 out of 10. You gotta try it. Outrageous. And until July 20th, they're running a bogo. So you can get one for you and one for Max. I'm just saying.

[Josh Peck]

Say less, fam. I've been a Popeyes fan since forever. It is the king of chickens. More than churches, more than kfc.

[Ben Soffer]

But this sauce, Josh, let me tell you, I wouldn't be surprised if this sauce, you know, they have the Chick Fil a sauce, and now it's bottled. If they bottled this Popeye signature sauce. Wow. It is outrageous. So good. It's a little bit smoky. It's got a little bit of that heat. I like a little heat and sauce. My number one sauce. Ooh, this is fun. My number one sauce, spicy mayonnaise. Your favorite sauce, if you had to pick one.

[Josh Peck]

Spicy mayonnaise, huh?

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah.

[Josh Peck]

Are you the kind of guy that orders an extra side of spicy mayo with sushi?

[Ben Soffer]

Of course I am. Of course, I'm also a guy. I'm a guy that if my sushi comes and they forgot my spicy mayonnaise, I'm throwing a fit. And then I'm making my own. And let me tell you, folks, if you spicy mayonnaise couldn't be easier to make. Okay, Mayo sriracha and then a drop of sesame Oil. That's what you're forgetting. You're just doing mayo and sriracha. And you're like, why doesn't this taste like what I want it to taste like? The sesame oil.

[Josh Peck]

You're a wild kid.

[Ben Soffer]

That's true.

[Josh Peck]

That tracks.

[Ben Soffer]

That's a fact.

[Josh Peck]

That tracks with underwear at Sinai West.

[Ben Soffer]

There's also Josh for a burger. Okay. Russian dressing. Add in a little bit of sesame oil and a little sriracha next time you make a spicy Russian.

[Josh Peck]

I believe you. I believe you.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay. You have a favorite sauce, and then I want your best bite of the week.

[Josh Peck]

I like a ponzu.

[Ben Soffer]

That's your favorite sauce.

[Josh Peck]

What do you want me to have? Stroganoff.

[Ben Soffer]

What are you putting. What else are you putting ponzu on besides sushi?

[Josh Peck]

What are you putting spicy mayo on besides sushi?

[Ben Soffer]

A turkey sandwich. A chicken sandwich.

[Josh Peck]

An Asian inspired. You're getting that kick of sesame oil.

[Ben Soffer]

Yes. Trust me. Try it. When you get home, you'll never go back. This is. This is the king sauce. You can use it across anything. You can't put honey mustard on your sushi. I guess you could. That's called having a bad day.

[Josh Peck]

That's it. That's like.

[Ben Soffer]

It's like you're buying. Getting a spicy tuna roll and putting Kens on it. That's like.

[Josh Peck]

That is the electric chair. I found out Paige cheated on me.

[Ben Soffer]

Give me the Kens.

[Josh Peck]

I bring a bottle of Kens into a hailstone and lathering them.

[Ben Soffer]

Oh, my God. Give me the Osaka style and you just drown it.

[Josh Peck]

Look at me. Look at the. I mean, if you looked at my body right now, you'd be like, is that Glen Powell? Is that a Yiddisha Glen Powell?

[Ben Soffer]

A Yiddisha Glen Powell. I see it. For sure. I see it.

[Josh Peck]

Thank you. No one else does. Okay. Do you want to get to a speak pipe?

[Ben Soffer]

Yes.

[Josh Peck]

If you want to ask us a question, get some advice. Go to speakpipe.com goodguys. Keep it brief. Brevity is key. We don't want to hear your what are you nuts? Is. I know people give me crap because they're like, but you play some what are you, nuts'? You have no idea how many bad what are you nuts's I have to sift through to find like a one singular. You don't. I would tell you we get anywhere from 50 to 100 speak pipes a week. If we play five in a week, maybe two or three per episode. Those are the best of 100 of 100,000.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah. We get like two and a half million speak pipes a week just from overseas. Oh, and we play five of them. Yeah, and 99% are Drek.

[Josh Peck]

Oh my God. This one person, I don't want to pick on her. She leaves one every week and it sounds like this good guy. I'm a big fan of the show Toaster. Shh. I'm like, hun, close the window in your car when you're leaving us a speak pipe. The audio quality is garbage.

[Ben Soffer]

No good.

[Josh Peck]

This one kid, another. Don't get me started. This other loser leaves me to speak pipe once a month. He's like, I miss your old podcast that you had with your friend Joe. I'm like, babe, it's been three years. Joe wanted to end the podcast and I'm glad he did. He went and did his with Ilya and I'm doing mine with Ben and we are all flourishing. Get over it.

[Ben Soffer]

Get over it. Dude, what are you bringing up an ex for?

[Josh Peck]

What?

[Ben Soffer]

I'll do that to you. I don't come to your house and tell your wife about your ex girlfriend in case she misses you. Who gives a shit? Who gives a rat's ass? That's right, Jimmy. Who gives a rat's ass? Ted Bundy.

[Josh Peck]

I don't get it. I do not get it. Anyway, this first one is from Tara.

[Ben Soffer]

Six year old daughter and I have recently jumped on the Labubu craze and started collecting. And it took me right back to trying to get rare beanie Babies with my mom when I was her age. It just made me wonder what your take is on the Labubu craze and have you guys ever bought into the hype of anything like that? Also, congrats on both of your babies. Love you guys. I have no idea what a Labubu is, so.

[Josh Peck]

You have no idea.

[Ben Soffer]

Tell me about a Labubu. I don't know what a Labuu is. It sounds like like I stubbed my toe and I got a Labubu.

[Josh Peck]

Olivia, you know, right?

[Ben Soffer]

Yes, a Labubu is. The beanie Baby comparison is a great.

[Josh Peck]

One, but it's basically like a keychain of this little doll that looks kind.

[Ben Soffer]

Of like a bunny with a big head. And then the face, it has like.

[Josh Peck]

Sharp teeth, but they're smiling. I don't know, it's I guess more.

[Ben Soffer]

Furby adjacent, but they're keychains and they.

[Josh Peck]

All come in these little cardboard boxes.

[Ben Soffer]

So the excitement behind it is like you don't know what you're going to get and then you open It. And which one I get? I don't have any, but that's the trend, so. So it's trading cards meets beanie babies. That's a little boo Boo.

[Josh Peck]

No, I mean, it's really just. It's a vinyl doll, so it's kind of like a hardish doll. It's about the size of my hand, and it became popular, I think Rihanna.

[Ben Soffer]

So really small, right?

[Josh Peck]

Shut up. But my hands are wide. Look at that. It covers so much.

[Ben Soffer]

My whole face. So the labu is about five by five. That's it.

[Josh Peck]

The labor is the size of a pack of cards. And I think it became popular because Rihanna had one that she was, like, attaching to her purse. It became like, on. You would attach it to your belt or your, like, you know, really expensive bag. And now they've become like a craze. Like, they're selling on the black market for hundreds of dollars. It's. People are waiting in line all night.

[Ben Soffer]

I gotta get. I gotta get in the labubu train. Oh, I gotta get in.

[Josh Peck]

My boy Luca is all over labuboos, and if you get a fake one, it's a loveufuu.

[Ben Soffer]

Very nice. Okay.

[Josh Peck]

All right. Well, apparently Ben is not interested.

[Ben Soffer]

I'm interested. I'm gonna go and buy all the labubus. I just was unaware. I was unaware.

[Josh Peck]

Next one from Trav. What's up?

[Ben Soffer]

Good, guys? Hopefully everybody's doing well. Congratulations on all the baby making. Brevity is key. I've let my homeboy borrow $20, and I sent it on cash app, right? But then that man sent it back a week later on like Apple Pay or whatever.

[Josh Peck]

What do you know?

[Ben Soffer]

It's like, literally just send money back on the same app that you sent. I'm sorry. Because now it's like, you need to set up Apple Cash, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, dude, there's just a $20 bill floating in the air, bro. Love you guys. Stay safe. Love you too. At first, I was going to say, what, are you nuts? But now I'm thinking to Send back a 20 on something that you don't have is terrible. Never loan that person money again. Okay? That said, if somebody venmoes you and then you PayPal them. But if you have both things, I think it's no problem. I don't know. But if you have to download an app to retrieve this 20. No good.

[Josh Peck]

So true. So true. Yeah, I. You can't. You can't use a difference. Just send it back. Why do you have to make it so when people say certain things, when people go, zell, I go, we're not going to be. We're not compatible. It's not gonna happen for us.

[Ben Soffer]

I also wanna say, Josh, and if you think that this is insensitive, you may lift it, but if your friend needs a 20, let him keep it. Like, I don't know what the financial situation is of the guy, but if he needs. If he needs to borrow $20, let him keep it.

[Josh Peck]

I mean, I think people. It depends. He sounds young, right? At our age? Yes. Like, here's 20 bucks. I don't expect it back.

[Ben Soffer]

But like, if you need. If you need 20. I guess I'm thinking of it in probably the wrong way. Maybe they were out. He covered him 20 bucks for like a bar cover charge or something and he venmoed him 20. Or did he need the 20? My mind immediately went to, this guy needs $20, he doesn't have 20, so let him keep the 20. But maybe it's not that, but is there.

[Josh Peck]

Is your brain better than mine? Because there's this great Mike Birbiglia joke where he says there's two types of people in relationships. People who keep score and people who are losing. And I'm that way where it's like, I don't want the money back, but if enough of those instances happen where I don't feel like the scales are even, I will get resentful.

[Ben Soffer]

Totally.

[Josh Peck]

And you don't have to pay it back with money. But like, if I've loaned you a couple times, I need to feel somehow that you're aware of it and not just taking it for granted.

[Ben Soffer]

Yeah, no, we all have. I think we all have that friend or have had that friend at one point or another that is agreeing real mooch, like supreme mooch. But you love him so much. But at some point, when push comes to shove, they gotta give you back in some way. It doesn't have to be money. It can be a nice gesture or. Yeah. There are people who take and there are people who give. And as givers, Josh, we're always gonna be susceptible to the takers.

[Josh Peck]

Givers.

[Ben Soffer]

We are. We just give. We absolutely just give. You got a what are you nuts?

[Josh Peck]

My woody nuts was me eating while driving and spilling carbonara on my black pants. My athleisure raining champ pants.

[Ben Soffer]

That is definitely a what are you nuts?

[Josh Peck]

Total.

[Ben Soffer]

That is a big time what do you nuts? My what do you nuts. My what do you nuts, Josh is. This is a sad story. You ready for this.

[Josh Peck]

I'm ready.

[Ben Soffer]

Okay, so we're in the Hamptons. I go to. I'm not going to name the bagel place, but it's a very popular bagel place here. There's literally one bagel box.

[Josh Peck]

So if you.

[Ben Soffer]

So if you know. No. So if you know, you'll. You'll know the bagel place I'm talking about. I go in, I wait in line. You know, Josh, I don't wait in line. I do not wait in line, this man. But I did.

[Josh Peck]

Sure.

[Ben Soffer]

But I did. Normally, I leave. I did. I waited 45 minutes because I was shopping for a bunch of people getting a bunch of bagels. It was a Just a Sunday spread, and I didn't want to abandon it. I wanted the bagels. It's the only game in town. 45 minutes. I get up to the counter. I ordered everything. Bagel, lox, cream cheese, onions, scallion, cream cheese, not regular onions. My bagel order takes another 10 minutes for them to prepare it. Check out. I got like $200 worth of stuff again for a lot of people. I get back to the house, I undo all of the stuff, give everybody their bagels. Open my bagel, Josh, they forgot the lox. What are you nuts? I ordered a bagel, lox, scallion, cream cheese, and onions, and I got a bagel, scallion, cream cheese, and onions. Do you understand, Josh? The trust issues. The trust issues that have now, I'll never. I'll never be able to order a bagel again. I have to search the bagel before I leave the establishment.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, what are you, the tsa?

[Ben Soffer]

And what am I going to do? I'm going to call the bagel place and say, hey, you left out the locks. Send it along. Or, hey, I want my $15 back. No, I say nothing. I say nothing. Now, they're lucky that I ordered prepackaged locks on the side, so I was able to rectify and make my own sandwich that said. What are you, nuts? Imagine, Josh, you order a chicken salad sandwich, and they don't put in the chicken salad. You order a turkey sandwich and they don't put in the turkey. This is the main event. How do you forget the main event?

[Josh Peck]

Yeah, man. And I don't know why, but I do judge these people. And I always feel like a nerd doing it when I check the order. Cause I'm always like. I look at the people. They do that no matter what in my head. I go like, checking ass, caring about that order and shit. I look at people going look at. Look at that loser caring about that. He got all his things.

[Ben Soffer]

Don't.

[Josh Peck]

Don't miss a condiment.

[Ben Soffer]

No. And you need it.

[Josh Peck]

I know. It's good. You should be checking it, but I judge.

[Ben Soffer]

It's funny, Josh, by the way, even if I checked, it's not funny. If I checked, I still wouldn't have known it said locks on the outside.

[Josh Peck]

Yeah. What, are you gonna split it open?

[Ben Soffer]

That's what I'm saying. I have to split open every bagel you go through.

[Josh Peck]

The butcher's. The butcher's paper.

[Ben Soffer]

What are you, nuts? Terrible inconvenience, folks. You know what else is nuts? Not giving this episode five stars.
