Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Energy, Laziness, and Add (00:22–02:16)

• The episode opens with Bobbi and the hosts comparing their energy and motivation levels.
• Bobbi describes herself as oscillating “between being super energetic and not moving for a week.” (00:41)
• The hosts agree, chalking it up to ADD rather than laziness. They joke about starting projects enthusiastically but rarely finishing:
  • “I'm a big give up 80% of the way through… The last 20% is just not happening.” – Josh (02:01–02:09)

2. Body Image, Fitness, and Rounding Up Steps (02:23–04:44)

• Bobbi shares her effort to walk 5 miles daily, only to “round up” from 4.7.

• Ben candidly recalls:
  • “I was 290 pounds, I swear.” (04:52)
• Light banter about men lying about height and counting shoe/hairstyle “inches.” (06:14–06:44)

3. Divorce, Parenting & Advice for the Next Generation (08:44–11:25)

  • She reflects: “I hope [my kids] wait till they’re 30 to have kids...” (10:53)
• The hosts discuss being “young parents”—especially in LA where most parents are older.

4. Religion, Neighborhood, and Being the "Shabbat Goy" (12:27–19:37)

• Bobbi admits to knowing little about Judaism despite living in a predominantly Jewish LA neighborhood.
• She shares her role as “Shabbat goy”—non-Jewish neighbors ask her and her sister to perform tasks on Shabbat, like turning off lights or appliances:
  • “The first time it happened...my sister gets a knock at the door...They needed me to turn off a light upstairs...” (17:25–18:00)
• Ben and Josh explain the tradition, joke about Jewish quirks, and talk about religious workarounds.

5. Podcast Persona, Drake Interview and Going Viral (20:07–26:43, 40:56–46:23)

• Bobbi discusses her podcast origin story as pure parody—a satirical take on the podcast boom:
  • “It was never supposed to be a podcast...it was always supposed to be making fun of it...” (20:20)
  • “I did one [episode] with Funny Marco...our clips got over 100 million views...every minute of that was like—crazy.” (22:48)
• The Drake Interview was a massive catalyst:
  • “Out of nowhere, I’m getting so many people just on this little show that I thought up one day.” (42:39)
• On changing her format and struggles with being “in character”:
  • “I started to care too much about comments...people were believing that’s just who I was...I want to show them I’m a regular person, too.” (20:20–21:12)
  • “I’m taking steps way back and turning it into a shitty podcast again in character.” (21:03)

Memorable Quotes on Imposter Syndrome

• “I will always have this feeling...I do not belong here...I do not deserve this...” – Bobbi (29:29)
• Ben reframes, “It’s called imposter syndrome. It’s so unbelievably real...somebody did Drake a favor, too, and he did something with it.” (30:04)
• Bobbi: “I’m so grateful for everything I have right now...every day, like, oh yeah, this could be taken away at any moment…” (33:22)

6. Growing Up Working Class & Embarrassment (26:54–30:01)

• Bobbi reflects on her modest background:
  • “A lot of people will say I grew up with money and I’m like, I’m glad you get that vibe from me...I could not have done more of the opposite.” (27:07)
• She shares vivid childhood memories of being dropped off at school in her dad’s rusty work trailer—feeling out of place, desperately wanting to fit in, and internalizing shame.

• Bobbi describes the “six months on top” after the Drake episode, with A-list celebrities flooding her DMs.
• She underlines the temporariness: “There was a moment where...A-list celebrities are DMing me...but surely, sure enough, it didn’t last for long.”
• She recounts a demoralizing early experience, where her agency dismissed her idea as “wannabe Zach Galifianakis” and accidentally sent her the internal email:
  • “My heart like sank. I was crushed. You guys are so—” (43:21)
• Colleen Ballinger (Miranda Sings) counseled her to ignore the critics and post the episode anyway—which “immediately” went viral. (44:27)

8. Motherhood, Self-Doubt & the Bar for Dads (47:00–48:44)

• Bobbi: “All of us are just trying to do...better than our moms...we just love our kids.” (47:00)
• Josh jokes, “For being good dads...the bar is low. Like my dad was like, nice meeting you.” (47:39)

9. Anxiety About Public Spaces (51:55–54:14)

• Bobbi describes intense anxiety around mass shootings, avoiding malls, movies, and crowded places:
  • “I'm afraid...because of shootings mostly. I don't go to malls. I don't go anywhere...I'm so fearful...with my children.” (51:57)
• The hosts express concern and discuss how different US attitudes are compared to Europe.

10. Advice for Listeners: Movie Previews and Planes (50:03–54:36)

• Listener “Moron Mail” asks about movie etiquette and the importance of catching previews.
• A second question debates whether watching porn on a plane is “nuts” (unanimous: yes, “notify the flight attendant!”):
  • “There’s also kids on this plane and this man is just—it’s disgusting.” – Bobbi (56:17)

11. Porn, Relationships, and Social Norms (56:54–57:33)

• Bobbi offers a hot take: “I think watching porn is unhealthy for your brain...especially if you’re in a relationship. I don’t think porn should be consumed.” (57:05–57:33)

12. "What Are You Nuts?" Weekly Grumble (57:57–61:16)

• Ben rants about New York cabs moonlighting as UberX, and the hidden costs.
• Josh's "what are you nuts?" is four-cheese pizza—declares it unnecessary.
• Bobbi notes, “I don’t think I have any,” then admits, “Going to the movies...without fear...people do that and it is crazy to me.” (62:29–62:33)
• More light banter about veganism, struggles to cut dairy, and kids’ eating habits.

Make it your weekly routine.

[A]

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

[B]

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

[A]

They're not the great guys. We're just the good and good of the good guys. Whoa. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. We're sitting here with Bobby Altop, and she's a little lazy.

[C]

Crazy. It's true.

[A]

I am, too.

[C]

We all are. You. I'm like, lazy, and I'm not. Sometimes I'm so full of energy, but then if something like, flips, it's just, now I'm not moving for a week.

[A]

It's bipolar, too. I know that too.

[C]

I don't have that.

[A]

Oh, I do.

[C]

That's just you.

[B]

All you, Josh, I don't think you're lazy. I think you're like. I actually don't think that any of us are lazy. I think we're all a little add, though. I think that's what it is. You're really excited about something. You run into it, you're like, oh, yeah, this is my fucking jam. This is my new personality. This is me. And then a week goes by and it's just. You don't care about it anymore.

[C]

Yeah, I know. Me and my sister just did, like, a time lapse of me painting our shed in the backyard, and it was crazy to see how her, like, rewatching it, how her brain worked versus mine, because I. When you watch it back, and I didn't notice this during it, but when you watch it back, I'm, like, hopping around to different. Like, I can't finish a task in it. Like, I will start painting one side, then I'll go to the other side, do a little bit there. The whole time, she starts one thing and finishes it, like, to, like, completion. Every time she does a wall, she's not going to start a wall and not finish the wall. I start the wall and I'm like, let me go check the wall over there. Now let me go do this. Let me. I'm like, everywhere. And it's like, that's why she's able to get so much more done in her day, because I start so many tasks and, like, can't. And by the end of it, I was like, okay, you got this. And I was just starting to, like, remove tape before it was even done.

[A]

Yeah, I'm a big give up 80% of the way through that's.

[C]

Me. Yeah. 80%'s great. That's it. That's all you're gonna get from me.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[C]

I know. The last. The 20. The last 20% is just not happening.

[A]

We're like contractors, right? We want. We get all the money up front.

[C]

Exactly.

[A]

And then we give up. About that is like, you don't need that light switch to work. No walls are here.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

I.

[A]

That's so funny you say that.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Because I do this thing when I can't work out for the day that I just try to get a lot of steps. And I have a 10 month old, so. He's great for stroller rides.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

So a good day for steps is 30,000.

[C]

What the hell? I thought 10,000 was like good. 30,000.

[A]

This is my own little weird thing.

[C]

How many miles is that?

[A]

It's about 12. Look at my steps for yesterday. Because by then I went, I don't need the 30. Like, this is sick.

[D]

This is.

[C]

You were close. Yeah, that's. Well, I. I know that that's insane, but I recently started a goal of. Well, that's crazy because I thought it was like a ambitious goal, but now seeing yours, it's not ambitious. But I was like, I'm going to do five miles a day.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I do 4.7 every day. And it's like, I can't. That last little 0.3. You would think it's like just. It's whatever. Like I don't. I don't care to. But If I see 4, 7, it's like, that's okay. That's. You did it. That's basically 5 roundup. Yeah, I round up everything. I do.

[A]

I got 29,000.

[C]

How do you walk that? What do you. How many hours is that? Are you running? No, you're. Five hours of walking every day.

[A]

I call it pacing.

[B]

That 30,000 steps is a. Is a. Is a ton of steps.

[C]

So many. Me and my.

[B]

A ton.

[C]

It's. Me and my sister walked on Saturday because I was like, I have to hit my steps. We walked from my house to Santa Monica. So somebody called it an urban hike. And I was like, I love that. It was. It was all day. It was so long. It was a nine mile walk. We like went on a scooter for a mile. But I was. That's your whole day? Yeah, but it really works. My sister's in such great shape from just walking. So that's why I was like, I need to stop feeling so sorry about my body and just like walking. That's not that Hard.

[A]

Do you feel sorry about your body?

[C]

I hate my body.

[A]

Oh, you're on the right podcast. Sorry.

[B]

Yeah, me too. Me too.

[C]

No, you don't. Yeah, you do.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Of course.

[B]

I don't know. I mean, now it's definitely in better shape, but, like, we're. We're, like. We're just like, big people over here. Big hearts, you know?

[A]

Not you.

[B]

He's talking about us.

[A]

Not you. Not. But, babe, you gotta clarify. We have a beautiful woman here. We are the big one. She is not.

[C]

No, no, I'm right.

[B]

No. Oh. So, yeah, no, no. We. The R podcast.

[A]

We are.

[B]

We have big hearts. I don't know how big your heart is. I know that we have. We have big hearts from pushing £300, £600 together.

[C]

Wait, were you £300? Were either of you 300? That's not true. Who was.

[B]

I was £290 four years ago, and Josh, 20 years ago was.

[A]

No, I was. I've been 170 my whole life, and there's nothing to prove that wrong.

[C]

You lost a lot of weight, didn't you? I feel like I've. Like in your younger years, you were a little bit thicker than.

[A]

That's so sweet of you to phrase it like that.

[B]

If. If only people then told me I was thick, you know how nice that would be, instead of, like, fat slob.

[C]

Were you. Were you fat before?

[B]

Yeah, I was fat. I was 290 pounds, I swear. You think I'm joking? Swear.

[C]

You cleaned up well.

[A]

But how tall do you think he is?

[C]

How tall? Oh, let me guess. 5, 10, 5, 9. 5, 5, 9, 6, 3. You're 63.

[D]

63.

[B]

You don't.

[C]

You're sitting. You're sitting. That's not.

[A]

He's a tall drink of water.

[C]

You're okay sitting down.

[B]

Five, nine. I'm shot in the heart.

[D]

I'm shot in the heart.

[B]

How tall are you? Like five two, maybe.

[C]

I don't know. I was trying to guess accurately. I wasn't trying to be nice. If I was trying to be nice, I would have been like, six, four, but I was like, Let me try to get this right. I was wr.

[B]

Josh is. I think you're six feet, right, Josh?

[A]

I do the actor thing where I'm 5 11, but I round up to six.

[C]

Three.

[A]

No, six feet.

[C]

Oh, that's crazy. I feel like all men round up.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

We do.

[C]

My boyfriend tells his height with shoes. And he. And he doesn't see the problem with that. He's like. He's like, I'm six. He'll say, I'm six three. Or I'm six four. And I'm like, you're not your first. You're not six four. And he's like, six four with shoes. And I'm like. He's like, everybody counts it with shoes. And I was like, no, everybody does not. I've never counted my height with shoes.

[B]

But no, no one does that.

[C]

It's. It's. He's. He's six two. He just gets an extra, like, what, two inches from, like, basketball shoes? I don't know.

[B]

I think you can count it with hair. You can count your height with hair? No, you can't count hair? No. Like, if I have, like, a big hair day or something, I can't be. Okay, okay, so no hair, no shoes.

[C]

I mean, it's valid, because I feel like people get shamed for being short. So you want to be, like, taller. It's okay, Audrey. I feel like my sister and I are. I see my sister. I live with my sister, so all of my. Everything I do is with her. But we're both, like, this morning, we were measuring ourselves. Why does that not. Why are we. We're so old to be doing that still. Yeah, my kids were actually doing that in the room the day before, and now I'm over there with my sister. Like, who's taller?

[B]

Is that something you do every morning, make sure that you're still growing?

[C]

I'm not. I think I'm shrinking because she's. I used to have, like, an inch and a half on her, and now it's, like, questionable if I'm even taller. And I was like, wow. I'm really like, yeah, my posture must be shrinking me a bit.

[A]

Yeah. I think the world. I think time and children and gravity has a way of shrinking us down.

[C]

That's horrible.

[A]

Makes us smaller. But what do you think? And, Olivia, feel free to weigh in here. I have heard it said, not by me, but by people, that when it comes to hooking up with people, whatever number a guy gives, divide it by three, and whatever number a girl gives times it by three.

[C]

That's. I feel like that's great.

[A]

Is that right, Olivia?

[B]

Oh, Olivia just gave me a big nod.

[C]

She's like, absolutely.

[A]

Oh, my God. I'm thinking about my wife so differently now.

[C]

Shut up.

[A]

You run around. No, I'm kidding.

[C]

She's been with zero men before you. I don't know what she told you. If she even told you she was with men before. That was her just, like, trying to make not, not scare you. She was actually with zero.

[A]

Thank God.

[C]

Zero.

[A]

So happy.

[C]

And if she divorces you still zero. Even with three kids.

[A]

Oh man, I do think about that. I just want her to be happy no matter what. Even if one day she kicks me to the curb. I think so. I get it.

[C]

If she kicks you to the curb.

[A]

I'm not easy.

[C]

You have three kids. Nobody do any kicking to the curb.

[A]

There's gonna be a lot of paperwork.

[C]

It's too. I've. As someone who's been through a divorce. Don't, don't, don't do it.

[A]

Not advocating divorce.

[C]

Like, it's not fun. I wouldn't. I think just choose your partners wisely if you're gonna have kids with them. Get a divorce before you have kids or choose them wisely if you're going to have kids with them.

[B]

And I can't even imagine you have. I really can't. I have one 10 month old son.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

But I, but, but, but still, like, and I'm very, very fortunate to have the best wife in a wonderful relationship. Josh can say the same. Like, I would just, I don't, I don't know what I would. Fudgeing do.

[C]

How long were you guys together before you had kids?

[B]

A very long time. We started dating at 20 and 18. I'm 34.

[C]

At 20. 32.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah, we've been, we've been together like for, for half our, like, not half our lives.

[C]

Like, long enough to know you guys, when you guys got married, it was the right person.

[B]

Long enough. Long enough to know that it was the right person. We got married and then we waited like seven or eight years before we had our son.

[C]

See, I was in such a rush and I always, I like, I'm so grateful. My kids are really the best. And I know every parent says this. Like, I'm like, my kids are the best, cutest, most amazing children ever. And like, because it did work out for me, I'm like, obviously I wouldn't change anything, but I would tell my kids, like, date someone for a long fucking time. Live with them for a long time.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Before you have a kid. Because my, my mom would always be like, when are you guys going to get married? When are you going to have a baby? I was like 20, by the way. And when. And I'm like, okay. I, like, I had so much. I just, I was like, I need a baby now. And it's like I met him in. Eleven months later, I'm pregnant with our first kid. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. I was just like, oh, yeah, like, these last. These last 10 months together were great. Like, only like nine of them were we actually, like, seriously dating. But, like, I. Yeah, like, this is great. We can. We can be together forever and raise a family. And it's like, I was 20. Like, I don't know, I was 21. And it's like, I would tell my kids, like, I hope they wait till they're 30 to have kids. I'm like, wait till you're 30. Because it's just. You make better decisions as a 30 year old than you do as a 20 year old.

[B]

The blessing in disguise is God willing, you'll be such a young grandma. Like, that's fucking sick. Like, I think about that all the time. Like, I wish, I wish I have. Like, I'm sure everybody has these random friends where they're like, their mom is 20 years older than them and the grandma's 20 years older. And you see like four generations in one room and you're like, that is so special. It's so rare that it's not without its complications, as you just mentioned, for making such quick decisions. But I definitely wish. It's amazing.

[C]

It is, I guess a little bit, because I feel like. And I wasn't a super young mom because I meet people who had their kids at like 16, and I'm like, okay, well, am I saying. But I'm in LA. I'm a young LA mom. Like, people in LA have their kids 35. Yes. Like, I. Most. Most of my kids, like, school friends, their parents are in their 40s, and I'm like, I'm 28. Like, I'm about to be 29 this year. But, like, I. It. I don't even know what I was saying anymore. I do that a lot. I'm like, I'll be talking and I'm like, what? Where was this going? Yeah, my kids.

[B]

Did you have a b. Did you have a bagel before? Josh, did she have a bagel? I. I do that too.

[C]

A what?

[B]

Bagel. Bagel or Z.

[C]

What does that do?

[A]

It's an allergy pill that kind of been brain fog. But since switching over to zyzal with zyzal, you'll have zero brain fog.

[B]

Yeah. Zyzyle. You're.

[C]

You're totally good. Or a bagel. A bagel.

[B]

You have a bagel this morning.

[C]

[C]

I don't know the difference between a Jewish person and a non Jewish.

[A]

You don't See color. No,

[B]

[C]

I couldn't tell. Do Jewish people have blue eyes?

[A]

Some. He says light eyes, right? You have green eyes, right?

[B]

I have light eyes, but yeah, no, we have. I don't think that there's like a specific eye character. Okay.

[C]

It's just. I. I don't know.

[A]

Yeah. My wife's Irish Catholic, so we call our kids cashews.

[C]

Oh, cuz you're. We're talking. Okay. Because you're. Religion. Jewish, not ethnicity.

[A]

Jewish is.

[C]

I don't know. I'm so stupid. So do tell me.

[B]

No, no, it's both.

[A]

No religion.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I like that you said that, though. You say that you know nothing. And the fact that you knew that, though, that's the biggest thing.

[C]

It's both. Okay. So your wife, that's why you gave her her religion. Catholic.

[A]

Yeah. She's Irish, right? Because you could be Roman Catholic. Irish Catholic.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, she's Irish. Got it. Yeah. I'm learning so much in my adult life.

[A]

We're here to help.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Do you have any, any other Jewish friends?

[C]

Yeah, I live in.

[A]

Your manager, your agent, your lawyer?

[C]

No, my whole team actually.

[A]

Of course.

[C]

No. It's crazy. How so? My whole neighborhood is Jewish. I'm the only, like non Jewish. Like my neighbors will ask me to turn off their electricity and stuff because

[A]

we're just like, oh, wow, she's a Shabbat goy.

[B]

Yeah, you are. You're a Shabbos guy.

[C]

What does that mean? I'm going to Hell, Shabboskoy.

[B]

No, Shabboskoy is amazing. It is the way that we all

[A]

just choose,

[B]

get around, like. Like having to break Shabbat. Like, the idea of Shabbat is the

[C]

first time it happened, I was like, my sister gets. We get a knock at the door, and I'm like, I send my sister do anything. Like, I could if, like, a murderer came and was like, hey, can you, like, change my tire? Lexi, go do it. So that we get a knock on the door, and they're like, hey, can you come over to my house and, like, help me? And I was like, go, Lexi. She's like, okay. She goes. She comes back. She's like, that was so much fun. They needed me to turn off, like, a light upstairs, and I was like, oh. Then it started, like, it happened a few more times after that. And, like, I went over there, and I was like, I got to go, too. And, like, I went over there, turned off their light upstairs and. And then. And then went home or their ice maker.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. It's very.

[B]

That is amazing.

[A]

I imagine the Jews like, this is my daughter, Rivka, Chaya and Yehudis. What's your name? Lexi. Weird.

[B]

Lexi.

[C]

It's. It's. They're pretty. They're pretty. I mean, they're all, like. They wear the wigs and. And everything.

[A]

Yeah. Hasidim crime high.

[C]

No, no, no. What do you mean? I think they have their own, like, security, you know, like the patrols.

[A]

Well, they've pushed us to that point.

[C]

No, it's. I have all the benefits of it. It's lovely.

[A]

But.

[B]

But.

[A]

And Ben is the better Jew of us both and has done some religious messages. But, yes, he's very giving. But we. Let's also say it's. It's. It's crazy.

[C]

What's crazy?

[B]

That.

[A]

That we as, like, that there is a religious sect of us that find workarounds for, like.

[B]

I think that what she's describing, though. So there are two types. I actually think that what she's describing is an honest one.

[C]

Well, so they're. Their housekeeper would accidentally leave the. Like, they wouldn't do it. Their housekeeper or somebody would accidentally leave something on and they didn't want to turn it off themselves.

[B]

Correct, Correct. That's.

[C]

And it's not like, a regular. Like, every week. I'm like, did you do, like, let me turn on your. Like, they have all. They have those. You know, I've seen, like, Jewish TikTok, so I knew going into their house, some stuff like the little Lamps that you can just move to make it light or dark or whatever. So they have, like, that stuff, you know.

[B]

So what some do, which is what Josh is talking about, is they'll say, hey, Bobby, do you mind turning on the TV for me?

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Okay. No, that hasn't happened.

[B]

Oh, I'm not watching. You're watching next to me. Do you mind putting on the Masters round three peacock?

[C]

Okay, I can. Yeah. No, they're not. They're great. They're great Jewish people. They follow. Yeah, it's lovely.

[B]

I love this. I love it. I love it. So I was going to ask you, and you're. You're not in character now, which I think is. I only know you from podcasting and from videos.

[C]

Got it.

[B]

And you very much have this just awkwardness that I think is hysterical. I think it's your. It's your. You're stick. But it's not always on. You do turn off.

[C]

Yeah, no, sometimes I act normal. I don't know. I've. I've. So I'm. I've, like, played with it a lot where, like, in the beginning it was, like, super in character. I was like. And then I kind of just like, that's how it started. But then I. I think that I started to care too much about, like, comments and stuff. And, like, people were believing that that's just who I was. And I was like, I want to show them I'm a regular person, too. So then I started to, like, really just regular interview people. And then I was like, wait, this is the whole. My whole podcast started as, like, a parody of podcasts. Like, I was like, everybody has the podcast. I don't want to be everybody else, so, like, how can I? So I was like, let me just make fun of podcasts. Like, it was never supposed to be a podcast. It was always supposed to be making fun of it, which is why it only lived on YouTube. It wasn't actually going to go on, like, Spotify or anything. Like, it was never supposed to be, like, even audio. Like, it was like, you were supposed to watch me parody, like, a shitty. Like, it was just like a shitty podcast. And. And then I interviewed Drake and I got a whole team out of nowhere, and it was like, it's now a podcast. Like, you're now with the studio. You have like. Like, here's like, all these things. And it just quickly changed into an actual podcast. And then very far away from what it started out, which was a fake podcast. Like, so now I'm coming back to, like, I'm gonna create it. I'm gonna. I'm taking steps way back and turning it into a shitty podcast again. Like, I was like, I'm getting rid of the, like, whole team I had recording it on, like, I used to travel to podcasts. I used to, like, it was just. And now I'm like, we're doing it in my kitchen at my house, and it's gonna be a shitty podcast again in character. But yeah, at some point and just, like, let the character go. It was fun, though. I feel like that's what I mean. You've acted in your life. That's kind of my dream in life. I feel like I want to, like, act. And that was kind of how I was. Like, my whole life I've wanted to act. And I saw tick tock as a way to, like, get there. Like, I was like, oh, I can, like, show that I can, like, do a character. So I started my tick tock off of a character. So then the podcast was also like, oh, this can help propel me there. But then at some point, I just became, like, a podcast host.

[A]

So how did you get Drake?

[C]

I mean, that was three years ago, which is crazy. Like, I think in this summer will be, like, three years since that happened. But it's just because it was kind of blowing up around that time. Like, my clips were going really crazy because it was. It was like, weird. Like, I was just sitting with a podcast.

[A]

Yeah, it was like kind of a Andy Kaufman. I don't know if you're familiar.

[C]

I've heard the name. Yes, yes.

[A]

But, yeah, it's like Eric Andre. Andy Kaufman.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You know, in that, like, living. Walking that line of real and satire.

[C]

Yeah. So I did one with Funny Marco and he saw it. So, like, because it was. I think me and Funny Marco, our clips got, like, over 100 million views. Like, they were going crazy. Every little. It was an hour interview. Every single, like, minute of it had been broken up to a different clip and would get at least 10 million views. Like, it was. It was crazy. Every minute of that was like. And I didn't even put that one to YouTube or if I did, I don't even remember if I did. Like, I was so not focused on having it be a podcast. It was just gonna be clips that I was really post posting. And I. I get a call from Marco one day, and he's like, chuck, who just followed you? And I was like, well, I go look. And I'm like, oh, my God. So I was like, let me ask him to Be on the show. So I DM'd him, and I was like, hey. I mean, my whole. I mean, you guys are. Do you guys have guests every time, or. No, just. It's mostly just you guys, right?

[A]

It's mostly like, 75 US. 25 guests.

[C]

See that? 25. Like, that was my. That's my whole thing. So all I had to do is, like, just send pitches out to everybody and just, like, hope that they, like, take it. Right. Like, I ask people every day, like, to this day, that's all I have to do, is just DM people. But that's how I've gotten, like, the majority of my guests is just with the dm.

[A]

Really. I'm not special. That's how we connected.

[C]

You DM me. I know. And he. He said no.

[A]

I said no. At first. I wrote no. Scared.

[C]

Yes. And I was like, you know what? You. But then I saw him. What's funny is, like, I. I would rather scared than just, like, fully ignored. But it's. It's like. It's great. I was. I was, whatever. But then I see him at. Yeah. At Bird's movie premiere and our show premiere, and I was like, oh, you.

[A]

You.

[C]

It's always so awkward sending somebody a DM and then, like, seeing them in real life.

[A]

I, like, so nice. And I was like, oh, be scared.

[C]

No, that's nothing to be afraid of.

[A]

Well, we'll see.

[C]

We'll find out. We'll find out.

[B]

I mean, being with you in person. In person. Nothing to be scared of. I can say, having seen, like, that Drake episode and other episodes, of course they're intimidating. The shtick is intimidating.

[C]

Yeah. Do you know what, too. What happened and why it kind of went away is I started to, like a. I started getting more comfortable interviewing people. So, like, talking to people before, when I started, I was so uncomfortable with the idea of, like, talking to, like, I was intimidated by talking to other people and, like, interviewing them. So it was, like, easy to do the character because I was like, I can ask you questions I would never ask you in a million years. I can be so. And then I kind of started to get more and more skills, like talking to people. And then it was like, that's when it started to turn into just, like, me talking with people. But I don't want to do that. I don't want to interview people. Like, I don't want to just sit and talk to. Well, you know, I take that back. It's not that I don't want to. There's just not as much money in it.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That's mainly why it's just not. It's what's up. It makes more money to be in a character that's a team. So I'm going back to the character. It makes. It just makes more money. Like it really, truly, that is it. It makes more money if I'm in character.

[B]

It's just very different. Like, there are so many interview based podcast shows. They're very. There are no other you in that zone. I can't think of another podcast like that where you make a plus list celebrities uncomfortable to the point that they're laughing of. Discomfort is so rare.

[C]

Yeah. Almost all, if not all of the people I've interviewed, like, I'm friends with still. Like, I'm like, like we've. I've become friends. That's what's cool about it though. Like, I'm sure, like, you get to just. I mean, you're in, in the entertainment industry. It's like, it's fun to be able to collaborate with other people. Obviously it also does better, like if you have somebody else.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Who you're. It's like you get their fan base who's like, tuned into it too. But also it's just like, it's fun to meet people and like people that I would have never met before. I, I get to meet now. And it's like Drake was the very first celebrity I've ever met in my life. Like, I've never. I can't think of like a. I would have had. No, I didn't grow up in la. Like, that wasn't like a thing for me. I grew up in like the Inland Empire, like the ie, the ie, Respect.

[A]

And when you met Drake, were you like, I kind of like Jewish guys. No kidding.

[C]

Exactly. I was like, I love the Jewish people.

[A]

Yeah, we really do. Wait, you grew up in the Inland Empire?

[C]

I did.

[A]

Here's the thing about the AYYI Ben is.

[B]

Yeah, tell me. I don't know what it is. Tell me.

[A]

It's on the way to Indio, right. It's on the way to Coachella.

[C]

It is.

[A]

It's like a. It's like a desert Val offshoot. It's strip malls.

[C]

It's.

[A]

It's salt of the earth.

[C]

It's not. It's. And I didn't grow up and like, I kind of. It depend. Like, I used to be really ashamed of where I grew up because what's, what's funny is like, a lot of people will say, I grew up, like, with money and I'm like, I'm glad you get that vibe from me. Like, I'm glad. Thanks. Like, I could not have done more of the opposite. Like, I grew up in. Not even. Like, people when they think of the ie, I feel like they think of, like, Corona or something. I grew up in, like, Paris, California, but, like, not even. There's, like, nicer parts of Paris. I grew up in, like, the hills where it was like, we. It's just. It's not. It's not nice. Like my.

[A]

Yeah, like from the hills of Azusa.

[C]

I don't know where that is, but it's a.

[A]

It's not a great. It's not the best area.

[C]

Yeah, it's not. It's not the great. It wasn't like. Like, we. My mom didn't want us going to the schools that I was, like, zoned for because they were just, like, they weren't the greatest schools. So instead she. Which I always wished actually, she left me in those schools because you took me from the schools that I could have been and you put me with, like, middle class people when I was, like, lower class. And it was like. Yeah, I felt such, like, a need to, like. Like, my dad would drop me off in front of my school with his trailer that was from. It was literally before me. He got that trailer. So in 1996, he got this trailer and it was rusted. It was his work trailers, rusted. It's like always his doors to his cars. You had to, like. He had to open my door to come out because it like. Or roll down the window and I'd have to out. And I was like. I would beg him, like, please just drop me down like a mile away. I will walk the rest. Like, I will get out earlier. Like, please, like, you shouldn't be ashamed of your father for working hard. And I'm like, okay, I wouldn't be ashamed if you sent me to, like, the other school you sent me to,

[B]

the one that's like, is this a movie? This is a movie.

[C]

Is it. Is there a movie like this?

[A]

No, it shouldn't.

[C]

Oh, no, no.

[A]

My boy Len, his Russian immigrant father, Felix, used to rip cigarettes in the school parking lot waiting to pick him up and clean the tires.

[C]

Oh, my.

[A]

And he'd be like, dad, you can't smoke on school property. And stop cleaning the tire on our 98 Nissan Altima.

[C]

That's. That's why it's so embarrassing. I was humiliated. And my dad didn't like. To him, it was like, this is my work truck. Like, this is your lucky. I. And I was like, this is so humiliating. Like, please, for the love of God, just drop me off down the street. Like, I will. He wouldn't. He refused. I had to be dropped off, like, right in the front. I was, like, always so. Just embarrassed. I feel like I've spent my whole life just being, like, embarrassed and out of place.

[A]

How does that feel? You still got that?

[C]

Yeah, no, I have. Like, I feel so. I don't know if at any point, even at, like, the peak of, like, when my podcast was, like, on the top, I still felt like. Like, I will always have this feeling of, like, if I'm in a room, right? Like, interviewing someone, like Drake, for example, I will always have this feeling of, like, I do not belong here. Like, I do not deserve this. I do not belong here. Like, this is like. Like, it's just. I. Like, I, like, very grateful. Like, I'm so grateful in any room I'm in. Like, But I always feel like they're doing me, like, a favor. Like, they're like, you're like, this is like, a handout for me.

[A]

Drake was he.

[C]

And he was.

[B]

But somebody did him a favor. Josh, like, imposter syndrome is what it's called. It's so unbelievably real. It's so real. And it's important to remember that somebody did Drake a favor, too, and he did something with it, right? Like, he fucked. Like, and you are, too. But, like. And I think I have. And I think Josh has. Somebody always does somebody a favor.

[C]

It's just, like, everybody, like, unless you're a Nepo baby, like, you did have to make your way into that industry at some point, like, work your way way up. So it's like. But even if I. If I'm, like, shooting for, like, a magazine and they're putting money into, like, me being there, I feel guilty the whole time. Like, it's like, I have so much guilt being there because I'm like, you're wasting resources on me or, like, even being here, I'm like, you guys, you sure you want me on your. Like, it's. I have that feeling in any room I'm in of, like. Like, you're wasting your resources on, like, me. And I'm like, it's. I don't know. Like, I don't. That. I don't know if that'll ever go away, but I think that's, like, maybe from my childhood of, like, always feeling like I didn't belong wherever I was. Like, just, like, I don't know.

[A]

It's a hard thing. I, I'm a sober guy and early on in 12 step when I went in, guys would be like, you're self centered. I'd be like, no, I'm not. I'd be like, that's reserved for people who like themselves and they were like, if you think about how great you are or you think about how terrible you are all day, you're still thinking about you.

[C]

Oh, I'm so self centered. I would never. I'm like.

[A]

And not like it's.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because I am 100. And it's just, I think that our minds use that as an outlet for that self sabotage and that and that spiraling. So it's like, it's just whatever mechanism you allow it to have.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It'll take them. So you want to think poorly about good old Bobby who we love and appreciate and so happy to have you here. Like your mind's like, I'll take that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And if you want to think you're the greatest thing ever.

[C]

And I wish though I had the opposite of that because like I feel like a lot of, of successful people have the opposite. Like they think they're the best in every room they're in. And I, I wish I had that. Like I, I think I'd do so much better if I could get like be cocky instead of like the opposite of that which is like, I don't know. I don't think it is helpful at all.

[A]

It's not helpful.

[B]

Yeah. At least your side of it I think comes with some gratitude. You don't want to be the up. The opposite side of it where like you're, you're like my doesn't stink. People hate working with you.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And you're not grateful for anything.

[C]

There's definitely something in the middle like eternally grateful for any. I mean again, like as someone who didn't grow up with anything, it's like the fact that I can like give my kids the life I give them and like I, the, the school my daughter is at now, I was a nanny for a little girl that I used to take to that school and I take her and I'm like, I remember being like I was pregnant with my daughter nannying and taking the kid to this school and I remember thinking like she's so lucky. Like this little rich girl gets to go here. Like all these little rich kids. Like I'll never be able to give my. And like now daughter goes there and it's like I walk into that school every day. And I'm just, like, I feel so grateful to even, like, give my kid this experience because, like, I would have loved this experience growing up. Like, it's like. Like. But it's. It is. Yeah. I'm like, it's. I'm so grateful for everything that I have right now. And I. And I do live. Like, I feel like everyone's, like, live. Like, that can be taken away. And I do. Like, I feel like I live, like, every day. Like, oh, yeah, this could be taken away at any moment. And I'm grateful to, like, for today.

[A]

I had that moment three days ago when I took my boys to Sky Zone, the trampoline park.

[C]

Oh, yes.

[A]

And they were like, sir, this line is for members. And I said, good thing I'm a member.

[C]

You're like, I'm a member, guy.

[A]

I am. It's 60amonth. It just makes sense fiscally.

[C]

I'm gonna sound like, in my lifetime, a spokesperson for, like, Scottsdale, Arizona. But, like, I went there, and I was like, it's so clean. Everything. Is it. Because it's new. Like, everything that Their trampoline parks are clean. Like, I would, like. You don't feel any sort of, like, put some hand sanitizer on, guys. Like, here's some. Like, none of that. Like, I'm like, this is so clean. And I wish that there was somewhere here that was just, like, clean, you know?

[A]

Too many people.

[C]

There's. There are a ton.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

There's, like, no one there, so. And it's empty there.

[A]

Scottsdale, Palm Beach.

[B]

Josh. I was gonna say, it's like having me in studio with you, except you replace Scottsdale with Florida. Like, it's just.

[A]

He lives in Florida for part of the year.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Do you like it?

[B]

This just started. And let me tell you, it is so clean.

[C]

I love that. Like, don't you? It's. I wish we could do that here. I'm gonna start, like, picking up trash on the side of the freeways to clean it up. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I'll do it with you. We'll get a camera crew.

[C]

Yeah, exactly. But my sister is, like, the type that will pick up trash, like, on. She walks every day, and she.

[A]

Lexi is a winner.

[C]

She. So we'll walk, and she'll be like, she saw some, like, a huge pile of trash on the floor, and I'll just walk by it. She's like, I wish I had gloves in a tr. Trash bag right now. I was like, who thinks that? Like, I. I've never walked past fashion. Said, I Wish I had gloves in a trash bag right now, right? But she was like dead ass.

[A]

It's a good sister.

[C]

She's the best sister. I think everyone should have like what, what are your kids genders? Do you have any sisters in there? Okay, well, at least they're all like the same. I think that it's like so cool to have a sibling of the same gender. Like, it's like, I mean it helps everybody's life, I feel.

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Nutrafol. Folks, I have been blaming everybody but myself for my hair. I've been blaming my dad. Oh, he has such stallion esque hair. Why couldn't I get that? My mom, oh, she's such beautiful hair. Why couldn't I get that? I've been blaming everybody. I've been thinking it's genetics. I've been thinking it's everybody but me. And folks, I'm here to tell you, I think it's me. I think it could be environmental factors, I think it could be stress. I think it could be, I don't know, I guess it also could be genetic. We just don't know, folks. We just don't know. All that I know is that I've tried all of these products. Nothing worked. Until I had that aha moment of realizing that Nutrafol was what I needed the whole time. Because Nutrafol is the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement brand.

[A]

What? So from the moment that Drake episode releases, what's the ascension feel like? Is it immediate? I mean, obviously you were already killing it. Tell me about those days after. We live for that.

[C]

That was it.

[A]

I mean, when did the Jewish dream team start circling and going, we pick you, Bobby. You know, it was like the claw machines.

[C]

I mean, I feel like every person on the Internet, when they like blow up, it's like they have like a very like the right. They have like six months where they like are on top, right? Where it's like that's. That's like the hot thing, right? And you're like, you're getting all. So there was like a good six month period where I was like, oh my. And the whole time I was just like waiting for this to end. Like, there's no way this, like, lasts. And surely, sure enough, it didn't last for long. Of like, you're like. There was a moment where I was like, just like a list. Celebrities are like dming me being like, I want to get On. I want to get on. And it was like, my DMs requests are, like, people that I've, like, like, seen from afar and always been like, these people are so out of reach, you know, like, you.

[A]

Like, who.

[C]

Like, Like, I. I don't know.

[A]

Is there, like, one or two that you can say reached out?

[C]

Well, a lot of the people that were even on the podcast, like, in the. In the early days, like, were from DMing me. So it was like, all, like, most. Most people were just like. Like, a few of them I reached out to, but. And then my team kind of, like, stepped in and got me some people who I was very, like, excited about. Like, Scarlett Johansson. I remember being like, oh, my. Being in a room with her, I was like, you are literally, like, so beautiful. It's crazy. Or, like, even Jessica. Jessica Alba, like, looking at her, like, sitting in a room with her, I was like, she's perfect. Like, her face is. I'm like, you are so, so beautiful. Like, it's. It's crazy. Like, I've just looked at her as, like, someone who I've always think thought was, like, stunning. And then to be in a room.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And have it be my job to do, like, some press with her for, like, it's. It's very exciting. But, yeah, there was. It was very crazy. Like, out of nowhere, I'm getting so many people just on this little show that I, like, thought up one day. And. And I've told this story before, but, like, the show, I was with, like, a little Rinkitink agency at the time, you know, and when I told. What's funny is they're not that Rinka Dink. Like, they're.

[B]

They.

[C]

I think they just got bought by, like, dba, but they. I sent them my idea for the podcast. It was like, it's gonna be a parody of Guy Raz's How I Built this. And I, like, had this whole thing. It's gonna be called the really Good Podcast because it's a really bad podcast. And it's gonna be like. Like, this whole entire thing. And I'm gonna be, like, in character. And they accidentally sent me back their internal emails about it. And it was like, this wannabe Zach Galifianakis. Like, this is already done. Like, she doesn't. This isn't gonna work. It's their internal emails.

[B]

Whoa.

[C]

I. And mind you, I'd been excited for them to reply. So I'm, like, checking my email, checking my email, waiting for them to say what they think, because I finally sent them this like pitch deck of like what I wanted to do. I see that my heart like sank. I was like these like, you're so rude. And of course they were like very apologetic. They were like, you were never meant to see that. Like, we're sorry. We do think like it would be a good idea for you. Just do regular, just do a regular podc, talk to people. And I was like on my way to Target and I just start crying. I was like, that was so. I was crushed. I was like, you guys are so. And what's. Oh, that's what. I also had sent them the first episode and that's. That was a response back. That's how they thought. So I'd sent them the first episode that I put a lot of like time and effort into. And at that time, like I wasn't rolling in money. Like I drove with my like ex husband and my kids to la. We were living in Laguna. So I drove to la, got rented a spot, this place called the Mouth Podcast.

[A]

Sure.

[C]

Got got a one hour booking there. Asked I was, was like, who do. I wanted a big person at the time. I was like, I had a lot of influencers and stuff I was mutuals with. So I asked Colleen Ballinger if she would be my first guest. Wow. Miranda sings. And she said yes. So I go drive all the way there, get a hotel for the night. Film this hour. All of the clips too. So like I, I hadn't posted yet. I sent it to my team first thinking like, this is going to be like, they're gonna love this. They hated it when I text her after and I said, this is what they said to me. She was like, every time I've ever had something do really well, somebody's told me that. It was like, not like she was like my first like Netflix show. I had, I had said this is going to be one and they like everybody on it. And now I have my own like show on Netflix. And it's like, I was like, I. So she's like post it. Because I was like, I don't think I'm gonna post it anymore. Like, and I was really like, I waited a month after, which is unlike me. I'm the type of person that records something and the next day it's going out. Like, I can't wait. I have no patience for anything. Like I want results right away. And for that I was just, I'm not gonna put this out. So I was like not feeling any sort of like I wasn't gonna put it. And then they said That I was like, absolutely. This is just the shitty. So she is like, no, post a clip. And it was like, immediately every clip I put up of that episode got like, 5, 6 million views. And I was like, okay, maybe. Maybe I actually do have something here. So I started. I kept going back to that same podcast studio. I'd go, like, be. My boobs were crazy. At the time, I had, like, breast milk. I was, like, breastfeeding my baby. And then, like, had like. Like, I look back and I'. That's. Why didn't you wear, like, a T shirt? Like, that's crazy. Your boobs were insane.

[A]

Why?

[C]

There were two complete different sizes. They're like, like an A cup and a double D. And I. It was insane. And what's crazy is I wasn't, like, uncomfortable in my body at that time. I'm like, now somehow I am. But, like, then I wasn't. I don't know. And yeah, I like all those early episodes, I'm like, that looks so crazy. But. And I would try to, like, pump the bigger side to get it just right before to, like, get it, like, be even a little bit.

[A]

Wow. Letting a little T air out of

[C]

the tire liter, literally. Exactly that. It's. That's the best description of it. It's literally it. I had one side that was doing the whole job of breastfeeding a baby, and the other side was doing nothing. It was useless.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

So, yeah, women are so rad. It's just like, we don't. We don't have to. We don't have to do anything. That said, I. That said, I also have breasts that are two different sizes. You wouldn't know it, but my right is bigger than my life.

[C]

Wow. I didn't even know that possible for

[B]

men, but it is with formerly fat men.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

You guys have to deal with so much more. We really don't have to deal with anything.

[C]

Like, it's truly, like, the job of a mother. It's just. I love. I love moms, though, because you look around and I'll see, like, a mom, and I'm just like, look at you. You just, like, you love your kids so much. And I think that's so cool that there's like. Like, you have a mom that, like, it's like, everybody has, like, a mom who, like, even if they were, like, not great moms, like, really just loves their kid, you know? Like, I don't know. My mom was like, not. Not an amazing mother, but I'm like, she did love me. I can. I can't say she didn't. Like, it's like my, my kids, it's like all I do is pour my like, love. And all of us are just trying to do our like, best, do better than our moms, you know. And it's like we just love our kids.

[A]

Yeah. For being, being good dads. Like I think Ben and I are. It's great because the bar is low.

[C]

It's so low.

[A]

Like my solo, like, my dad was like, nice meeting you.

[C]

That's exactly. So then now it's just, if you stay around, it's like, yeah, good job.

[A]

I try to tell my boys all the time. They're like, dad, get off your phone. I'm like, I'm here. So when you talk about like that. So it was six months of feeling on top and you knew that it was kind of gonna like when you got that huge wave of, of people like that we all get. Like, I've gotten it before and people are coming after you. Like, are you like this feels undeserved or does it just level you?

[C]

I take a lot of what people say personally. Like, especially things if I'm already like insecure about it, it and then they say it to me, I'm just like, well you.

[A]

Like that's like, confirms your suspicion. Like I've been there.

[C]

It's so. I, I, it's like, it's good in some ways. Like I, I'm really great at taking constructive criticism, but I'm also really great at like taking un unconstructive criticism. If that's a word or misconstrued criticism.

[A]

That's my favorite. Like it's. You hate me, don't you?

[C]

People are so mean all the time.

[A]

Well, they are. And it's, it's so funny.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I was recently watching, I watched clips that went viral of Theo Vaughn on Joe Rogan's pot and you know, not critiquing what Theo's. And you know, Theo is a 50 year old guy like, who you know, what good is you Money unless you say fuck you. Right. Like whatever he wants to do. But what I found interesting, right, was at the point when I watched it, there were a million views on the pod and 10,000 comments. And that ratio. I was like, that's about right. Right. I was like, 1%.

[C]

Yeah. That is crazy.

[A]

99% of people watched it. Like we all would and just not comment.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because we're normal.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And a thou. And 10,000 people either loved it or hated it. And they really took issue with Joe because They felt like he wasn't supporting Theo. And all I've known is that Joe has been one of the great supporters of Theo, like, personally, like whenever he struggled in his life, that Joe's been there as like a friend. And I was like, like, you little jerks. Like, here you are thinking you're supporting this guy. But God forbid he was really in bad straits. Like, Joe would be the call, right? Joe would go help him.

[C]

Not like people also just like, don't. It's hard for people to understand that there's like a whole life that happens outside of the. What you put on, like the Internet.

[A]

Yeah, let's do a moron mail and then what are you nuts?

[B]

Moron mail. So, Bobby, moron mail is we call our listeners the morons. We're all. All morons.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Which I think is actually very apropos to the conversations we just had where we actually. None of us actually know anything.

[C]

It's true. Not. Not one thing.

[B]

But you can go to goodguys [e-mail], write us in some more on mail. Maybe we will read it aloud. This is from Anonymous. Hey, good guys. I just went to the movie theater with my sister in law and teenage nieces and all of them arrived to the theater at Showtime. I couldn't believe it. Since my one sister in law was the one who purchased our tickets, I couldn't go in and get seated before they all arrived. The concession lines were horren long, so by the time we purchased our drinks and snacks, the previews had been going for a full 10 minutes. And we didn't get to our seats until the middle of the last preview before the actual movie started. The crazy thing is this has happened before. None of them care to see any of the previews before the movie. Are you guys the type that arrive early to make sure you get your concessions and get to your seats before the preview starts, or do you take your time and not worry about getting to your seat until the movie is starting? I can't relate whatsoever to people who are purposely late to movies. Thoughts. Love the possibilities lot.

[C]

That's interesting. He says concessions. I've never even used that word.

[B]

Concessions.

[C]

That sounded. You gave it like the voice that I know he said it in too.

[B]

You know, to the movie that something's in the show. Do you remember that jingle, Josh? And smoking is a. No, no, no.

[C]

What the hell is that?

[A]

I remember.

[B]

And remember to throw your trash away. I think it was amc.

[A]

Do you remember? Thank you for coming to London. Sit back and Relax, enjoy.

[B]

No, but it's the same thing.

[C]

Never heard of any.

[B]

Oh, God. We're all in Scottsdale.

[C]

I would have known. I would have known. I'm not. I'm not a movie person. I'm not a concert person. I'm not a movie person.

[A]

You won't go to the theater?

[C]

I'm afraid, but I will if my kids really want to. Because of shootings, mostly. I won't go to malls. I don't go anywhere. Like, I. I'm really. Like, with my children. I am so. And then I won't go without them because I'm like, you're gonna be motherless. If I will go watch a movie. Was it worth it to go watch a movie now that my kids are motherless? Yeah, that's probably. I think every. Every mom. I was. I was supposed to go to the Disneyland with a mom friend of mine the night before I text her, and I was like, hey, like, I'm having a lot of anxiety about going tomorrow because I'm afraid there might be a shooting. And she said, oh, my God, I'm so happy you said that. I was thinking the same thing. Let's not go. And I was like, oh, my God. Gosh, that's literally everybody all the time. So I'm sure your wife is similar. But the movies scare me. Like, it's just so easy. They don't check. They need to have metal detectors that they use. Like, why can't they check people?

[B]

I'm so sorry that you feel that way.

[C]

It's.

[B]

I really, like, really annoying. So. No, I'm. I don't know, Josh. If you're all. You're the same way. Hearing that, I'm, like, broken inside about the fact that you and other people feel that way. Yes, we should definitely have metal detectors in movie theaters. But, like, the idea that.

[C]

That.

[B]

The idea that you feel that you can't go to the movies without being

[C]

shot, it's scary because I've. I've been friends with people who live in other. Like, live in Europe and stuff. And I'll be like, oh, you just go to the mall here. Like, you just. You just go into it like you're not afraid. And they're like. What do you mean? Like, they're afraid. Like, stabbings happen, but it's like, no one's going to go in with, like, an assault rifle and just like, kill 70 people real quick. Like, it's. It's so common here. And it's like, I. And like, this is a conversation. Me and my Ex had a lot, but about, like, public school, which is crazy. I actually do. I've kind of gone back and forth. I think public school might have more, like, police than private school, but it just depends. Like, I've been to, like, my public school that I went to when I was a kid. Had so many police officers outside, and I'm like, shout out.

[A]

It's means you're in a good part of town.

[C]

I want is no. Sounds like the.

[A]

In New York, my was locked down. My elementary school was locked down. Hard body.

[C]

Like, that's what I want.

[A]

Okay, so what do we do about this poor girl and her friends?

[C]

She shouldn't go to the movies.

[B]

Well, no, look, here's what we do. She goes early. She gets all the snacks. She, like, watches a beautiful movie. I'm so sorry that Bobby feels that she's gonna get shot in the theater. You're not gonna get shot.

[C]

You can't say that for sure.

[B]

But statistically, I think I.

[C]

That's what everybody can.

[A]

I say that Josh only go see movies I'm in. Cause that means the theater will be empty. Right? You know, you're a shooter. You're like, let's skip the Josh Penn film.

[C]

Exactly. There you go. It's not. It's no Spider Man.

[B]

Oh, my God. Well, I don't know. She should probably just. I don't know what she should do. Should we do another one?

[C]

Sure.

[A]

Another one real quick. And then what? Are you nuts?

[B]

Okay, this one's nuts. Is watching porn on a plane nuts, or am I nuts for not minding my own business? For context, I was sitting in the window seat and noticed a guy in the middle seat in the row in front of me looking at adult content. It was an evening flight, so the plane cabin was dark and his brightness was up.

[A]

I once saw a dude at our public library looking at it on the library computers, and I couldn't believe those sites weren't blocked.

[C]

That's. So that I. I think. Is that not illegal on a plane like that? Has to be. There has to be laws.

[B]

Should be illegal.

[C]

I think it might. Well, especially if he was doing anything with that information he was taking in. It's definitely illegal.

[B]

What are you doing if you see somebody watching porn on the plane?

[C]

I'm gonna be. I'm telling the flight attendant. It. I'm not letting that. I'm gonna be like, excuse me, he's watching porn. That weirdo.

[A]

I'm. I'm. I'm more upset with Teresa Giudice. FaceTiming without headphones on. On your. Like, if you're doing that in private and you're not bothering anyone, I would be more okay with that than someone making a ruckus on the plane that's ruining my watching porn.

[C]

No. That's so weird.

[A]

I. I'm not for it.

[B]

But.

[A]

But I think on the tier of

[C]

annoyances, that's pretty high up there, like, you weirdo.

[B]

Yeah, no, that.

[D]

That.

[C]

There's no way he's just watching it. Like, e. Men are so, so gross. I just. It's.

[B]

It's. It's nasty.

[C]

It's nasty.

[B]

I think I'm with you, Bobby. I think I'm telling the flight attendant. Especially if I'm with, like, my. My son.

[C]

There's also. There's kids on this plate. And she. This man is just. It's disgusting. You.

[A]

I'm like, excuse me, flight attendant. The man in 3C. He's watching a scene with Manuel Ferrara and Gigi. I mean, I don't know who, but there.

[B]

Do you mind asking him to turn up his volume and remove his headphones?

[A]

You might ask him what's his Bluetooth.

[B]

You mind asking him to pass the phone?

[A]

Ask him to turn on his air dropper.

[C]

Man.

[A]

I know. Just disgusting.

[C]

You're a disgust.

[A]

Yeah, we're horrible people.

[C]

I disagree with porn ever being watched,

[A]

but am I mishearing that it's become more popular for women to watch it?

[B]

Or.

[A]

No. We.

[D]

Ish.

[C]

Maybe. I. I'm. I'm. I think I'm in the boat of people who thinks that's like a. Like men. No one. Like, I don't think that's healthy. I think watching porn is unhealthy for your brain.

[A]

Even if it's like, super moderate.

[C]

If it's unhealthy, I think it makes men, like, more addicted to it and they're already so sex driven. It's like you. I don't think men should. I think, like, none of that. Especially if you're in a relationship. I don't think porn should be consumed. Is my hot take on porn. I would. I don't. I disagree.

[B]

Each their own.

[C]

I. I just really don't. Yeah. I don't. I've not, like, just. I think that I, like, seen in my life that that's like something that does like. It's. It's not good for relationships if a man is like.

[A]

I'd never.

[C]

I hope so. You guys are both sitting here looking, so.

[B]

I'm clean as a. I'm clean as a whiskey whistle. I'm clean As a whistle. Josh, what are you, nuts?

[A]

What are you nuts? Are. What are your nuts? Moment of the week are gripes with people, places and things both big and tall. Whatever's sticking in your craw. So

[C]

what?

[A]

Anything that makes you say, what are you nuts? We'll go first. You'll have time.

[C]

What are you, nuts?

[A]

Oh, what are you, nuts? So, like, it could be something as dumb and innocuous as it could be go going to the movies, or it could be something small, something huge. Take your time. You'll hear it. We'll give you an example.

[C]

Mm.

[B]

I ordered an Uber X the other day, Bobby, in the great New York City. Okay? The Uber pulls up. It's a yellow cab.

[A]

That's a.

[B]

What are you nuts? All of a sudden, I know that the trip that cost me $45, if they just turned on their meter would have been seven, plus the $4 in extras. You're looking at me in the face taxicab and telling me that I'm getting ripped off.

[D]

Off.

[B]

If I order an Uber X, it needs to be a Toyota Camry. It can't be a yellow cab. Otherwise, you need to turn on your meter. That is a. What are you, nuts?

[C]

Got it.

[A]

That's what he. Nuts. My Woody nuts. Let me look at my notes. Is. Oh, four cheese pizza.

[C]

I've never been anywhere with four cheese pizza.

[A]

I recently went to a place.

[C]

Okay, don't I. I don't. I don't do dairy, so don't change them up. Yeah.

[A]

You know what I mean? None of that straight mind nuts. Yeah, we figured it out.

[C]

Yeah. Stupid.

[A]

It is vegan. My wife's vegan.

[C]

So is she. I want to be vegan.

[A]

On pizza.

[C]

I'm gonna be. Is she. She. How long has she been.

[A]

10 years.

[C]

Oh, my God. I love that for her. She's good.

[A]

And she's not annoying.

[C]

I. I love a not annoying vegan person.

[A]

Verdict's out on you. I'm not sure how you do.

[C]

I think I would be a not annoying vegan person. Do you know what? I've tried really hard to be vegan. And my life, multiple times, I can only ever last, like, a week.

[A]

It's hard.

[C]

It's so. It's in everything. Like butter.

[A]

Yeah, butter.

[D]

Like, it's hard to.

[B]

It's hard to exist in society.

[D]

Yeah, you can't.

[C]

I felt so, like, I couldn't go anywhere. I was like, oh, yeah. Let me just get the. Like, what? Broccoli? Like, it's just.

[A]

It's salad and fries.

[C]

Yeah, fries. It's so. But that's also so unhealthy, too. So I was like, I, I was doing like this.

[B]

And Josh, with the big new wave beef tallow, you got to be careful.

[A]

So true.

[B]

That's not vegan.

[A]

The fries anymore, beef fat that allow lot of fry. Really yummy. Fries are cooked in now. They're fried in beef tallow.

[C]

Okay. See, I, yeah, it's too hard. I want to be like, I, I, I aspire. I don't eat a lot of meat, but I aspire. And I don't eat dairy, so I'm almost there. But I aspire just to be like that, like, lower my footprint. I've had a lot of my friends are vegan, and they've told me that, like, you don't have to go all the way. Just try to do as much as you can. And that's, like, still better for the planet. You could do that if you want. You don't want to.

[A]

I, I've been vegetarian for times.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I eat, I love eating vegan, but then I just try.

[B]

By the way, you do it. You do it, Josh, because your wife is vegan. You eat, you definitely eat less meat

[A]

than you would 100%. I probably vegan, like, 25% of the time, and I love it.

[C]

Does she cook? That's so lucky. I'm going to move in.

[A]

She doesn't cook vegan, though. Like, she cooks, like, not really. She'll, like, cook something for herself and then. Because she cooks, like, meat for the kids.

[C]

Okay, that's great. I like that. But I, I like the, like, I've, like, not making your kids do it and stuff. Like, I think that's like, let them decide.

[A]

Yeah, come on over.

[C]

I'm gonna come over. I'm gonna come over. They're gonna have chicken nuggets, and I'm gonna have a solid with your wife. It's great.

[A]

I'm just letting you know constantly.

[B]

We go every, Everywhere that you're afraid to go. Really, you do something.

[C]

If I have one thought about, like, canceling a flight, it's gone. Like, I'm not, I'm not going. I don't care how important that trip was. I'm not going. And if I like I'm so fearful of like I'm clearly someone who needs to like back on their anxiety medication.

[A]

But Lex, you're doing a little 10.

[C]

I was on Zoloft 100 milligrams you know 100 mil. You know lots, lots to fix there clinical. It was great but go back I was going on they gave me that and then I had Xanax for flights because I was, I could not.
