This playful and punchy episode of Good Guys dives deep into the multifaceted worlds of parenting, sports fandom, and the wild side of online relationships.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Father’s Day Recap: Traditions, Joys & Parenting Wins

(00:37–10:23)

• Josh’s Take: Father's Day is quickly rising as his favorite holiday because it's “so easy—the ethos is ‘let’s do but not too much’.” He shares details about enjoying low-key celebrations: a donut breakfast, city field trips, and a nostalgic soda shop where family members mix wild flavors (“apple cranberry” and his son’s “pineapple coconut” blend).
• Ben’s Perspective: Ben doubles down on the value of spending the day with kids (“What are you nuts? Spending Father's Day without your kids?”). He describes taking his daughter Ruby to the Natural History Museum, marveling at the immersive exhibits, and gifting his dad at Ralph Lauren.
• Funny Aside: The segment about whether museum animals are real or fake (taxidermied vs. artificially recreated) provides some classic banter with light research and a “what are you nuts?” moment.

Notable Quotes:

• Josh: “Father’s Day is so easy, because basically the ethos is let’s do but not too much.” (01:37)
• Ben: “The idea of Father’s Day is being celebrated by your children and being with your children, I think.” (04:51)

2. Concert Confessions: Icons Past Their Peak

(15:36–22:09)

• James Taylor Concert Review: Ben recounts taking his dad to see James Taylor at Jones Beach, only to be disappointed by the setlist and pace (“he didn’t play half of his big songs and changed guitars after every song”).
• Josh’s Musical Reminiscence: Both reflect on aging legends: sometimes it’s better to remember them at their prime. Josh parallels this with seeing Stevie Wonder and not feeling the magic he’d hoped for.
• Discussion: They debate whether legacy acts should keep performing for personal fulfillment or if it’s time to hang up the mic.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben: “Every song, he changed guitars… Can’t we be efficient here?” (16:27)
• Josh: “I want to remember him through his albums and his earlier stuff, I think.” (18:25)

---

3. Parenting, Nostalgia & Zestiness

(09:03–10:23)

• Social Media Reactions: Ben reads out comments about his dad Bruce being called a “zaddy,” a running inside joke woven into their Instagram birthday tributes.
• Identity and ‘Zesty Men’: The duo poke fun at their own perceived “zestiness” and coin a new season title—“Hella Zesty.”
• Anecdotes: Josh jokes about the “cute, kind of gay” archetype becoming husbands.

Notable Quotes:

• Josh: “I saw this TikTok the other day that said if you see a boy who's kind of cute and you also think he's kind of gay, it'll probably be your husband.” (10:04)

---

4. Sports Fandom: From FIFA to the Knicks

(33:28–43:07)

• Live Events Philosophy: Josh and Ben debate the merits of attending sports games live vs. watching on TV. Josh, typically a “TV is better” enthusiast, describes attending the opening match of the World Cup at SoFi Stadium: everything from super-tight security to kid-centric logistics.
• Parental Lessons: Their strategies for maximizing enjoyment and minimizing stress at big events revolve around early arrival and setting realistic expectations.
• Knicks & Kings Fandom: Ben’s sense of contentment after the Knicks’ improbable championship win is palpable: “I don’t care if they’re dog shit forever. I got mine.” Josh echoes this about his own teams, reflecting on the joy and futility of lifelong allegiance.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben: “Me trying to chase that high again is so completely unrealistic—I got mine. That's it.” (32:59)
• Josh: “What are you trading? Another half hour of email... Or, you're just stressed for an hour. Or I could come earlier and just not be stressed and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime thing.” (38:48)

---

5. Weird News: Catfishing, Dating & Modern Courtship

(47:17–52:52)

• Catfishing on the West Coast: They react to a news item that Seattle is the nation’s capital for online romantic catfishing and swap personal tales—Josh even suspects he was catfished in his youth.
• Changing Dating Culture: Ben points out the decline of bar culture with the rise of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, decreasing alcohol use, and social anxiety. Both muse on the lost art of approaching potential partners in person.
• Advice: They encourage listeners to “put up numbers”—not to fear rejection, as attraction is subjective and context-driven.

Notable Quotes:

• Josh: “Remember, it’s not a reflection on you. They're a stranger. You could be someone’s flavor or not. But it’s not personal. It really isn’t.” (52:16)
• Ben: “It’s not fun. I like the rush.” (On the thrill of buying weed the old way, in the context of their catfish stories) (50:22)

---

6. What Are You Nuts? Moments of the Week

(53:34–55:02)

• Ben’s Gripe: Annoyance at being hounded by political canvassers—some fraudulently posing as a candidate’s mother.
• Josh’s Gripe: Being misrecognized by a crew member on set (“You’re from Drake and Josh? What’s your name? You’re Josh? You played Josh, right?”).

Notable Quotes:

• Ben: “Stop telling me about a candidate... I don’t care if you’re their mother. What are you, nuts?” (54:46)
• Josh: “My name is Josh and I played Drake. What are you, crazy?” (55:35)

---

Memorable Moments & Lighthearted Banter

• DIY Soda Combinations: Josh’s family soda “suicide” flavor adventures (04:16).
• James Taylor Fandom: The multigenerational tradition of singing “Sweet Baby Ben/Ruby/Claudia” instead of “Sweet Baby James.” (22:10)
• Parodies and AI Songs: Extended riffing on viral TikTok songs and Ben’s AI-generated Knicks theme (24:46–32:10).
• Reflections on Body Image & Fashion: Their playful honesty about weight, shorts, and personal style (52:46).

[B]

It's a Good Guys.

[A]

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. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast.

[B]

Welcome back. Yeah, that's right. We're here, we're alive, we're fathers. Josh and I think we'd be remiss not to talk about Father's Day. Okay, Perhaps it was last week, perhaps it was three weeks ago, depending on when we release this episode. But what I will tell you is that you can't keep us down, okay? This is our freaking day. You think we're not going to talk about it? Of course we're going to talk about it. Josh, I want to know, what did you do on Father's Day?

[A]

I got to say that Father's Day is quickly becoming my favorite holiday.

[B]

Makes sense to me.

[A]

It's really like, it's so. Okay, I got it. So your birthday, right? Your birthday's about you. But there's a mortality aspect, right? You're getting older.

[B]

No, when you, you know.

[A]

And then it's also what do you want to do? What do you want to do? What do you want to do? Are we going to do? You're going to regret if you don't do. Should we do?

[B]

We should do, by the way. But yeah, I digress.

[A]

There's a lot of build up. Father's Day is so easy because basically the ethos is let's do but not too much, right? Yes, let's do like what's something. And I'm the king of not too much. You can see in my performance,

[B]

you

[A]

know, my acting work. But you know, like my wife's like, how about this? We'll have a barbecue at, in the evening at my parents house. So we'll, you know, honor her father, my father in law, Baruch Hashem. And if you want to go work out, I'll order donuts in the morning. I know you love that. Maybe we'll go, you know me, I love a field trip within the city limits, right? I love a little mission. So I get fed. And you will soon too. I get fed. All these like kids activities on my phone. SoCal play days. It's like great, great parks and things and fun and I just love it. So in Highland Park, California, which is, like, above Dodger Stadium. Basically, the whites have come in, and we've totally gentrified it, but it's a gorgeous, historic Latin area that is so cool and cultural, and unfortunately, we're kind of ruining it, but it's still great. And so they have this old school, like, soda and candy warehouse. So you go in and it's like all these throwback drinks, old Hershey bars, old, like, kids toys. And they had a make your own soda bar. Okay, how good is this? You can choose the level of carbonation you want in your. In your sparkly. It's hot.

[B]

Ooh, wow, that's fancy.

[A]

My wife went mild. Me and my son Max, we said we want heavy. If one is good, 10 is better. That's the alcohol.

[B]

And how are the creed. How are those burps?

[A]

The burps were burping.

[B]

And at a 10 on the carbonation scale, you're getting a hot dog you ate three weeks ago. It's coming up and it's. And it's yummy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I was. I was burping my face off. Max. I did an interesting blend, which was apple cranberry. I did Granny Smith apple cranberry syrup. A little light cran apple was delish. Max did pineapple, coconut. I'm like, the dog. That's a pina colada, Homie. I was like. And look at the taste on this guy loves.

[B]

That's a very refined palette. Yeah, Pineapple coconut is very refined. I'm proud of him. That's good stuff.

[A]

I'm like, what'd you do? Max is like, bergamot. And then shy it all up. Shy basically made a suicide. And it was wretched. But we had the best time. It was so nice. And then we went back and had a nice little lunch or had a nice dinner. And what'd you do?

[B]

So first, before I get into what I did, that sounded amazing, and I'm just going to say a light. What are you nuts? I love that. That was your day. My day was very similar. What are you nuts? Is spending Father's Day without your kids. Right? Like, people do that. I'm like, what did you do for Father's Day? Oh, I golfed. It's like, you can golf, I would hope, any other time. Like, the idea of Father's Day is like, being celebrated by your children and being with your children, I think. And I think it's a woody. And that's not to be with your kids. I woke up in the morning. We split the day. Morning. Me Claudia and Ruby. Afternoon. Me, Claudia, Ruby, my parents, my sister. In the morning, we woke up, we went to the greatest museum in the world. Josh, I'm just going to say that, ok. The Natural History Museum is outstanding. I don't know the last time you've been. It is. They. And it makes sense because they have so much money. But let me tell you, the way they put it to work, the building, the. I felt almost like I was at a zoo. That's the level of art that goes into these installations. And I had forgotten. I hadn't been since I was a kid. Like, you walk through a beautiful exhibit and you see a white shark. And the way that they have just. They've made the installation look like you're looking at a white shark who's frozen in time. It doesn't look like a painting. It's amazing. This place is amazing.

[A]

Now, let me ask you. I loved it. I'm real stupid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I've always wondered this about a Natural History museum. Are the animals taxidermied or are they completely artificial?

[B]

So this is an excellent question, Josh. I have no idea. I have no idea.

[A]

I bet AI is.

[B]

Claudia and I. I'll take it up one notch. We went into the dinosaur exhibit area where they show bones.

[A]

The fossils are real.

[B]

The fossils are real. But is the whole build real?

[A]

Like, yeah, they don't get every vertebrae.

[B]

No way. It's impossible. It looks perfect. After, what, a billion years? It looks perfect. No, they probably threw in one real bone and the rest of it's not real. But, yeah, I don't. I have to assume that it's not taxidermied. I think it is 100% fake.

[A]

Let's see. Okay, well, if we're talking about the Natural History Museum of LA county, the animal.

[B]

Why would we be talking about that? Okay. It's fun. It's good. I've been there like five times. If we're. So if we're talking about the Natural History Museum of Wyoming, Ohio, then yes, they are real and caught recently.

[A]

Okay. Yes. The vast majority of the animals in the famous mammal halls are real taxidermy specimens. Not.

[B]

Wow, that's really cool. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it looks like it. They're. They're legit as hell. This is a glorious place, Josh. I absolutely loved it. Ruby loved it. I don't know if it's all the stretching that I've been doing, but I put the great Ruby on my shoulders. I was able to get him behind.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

He went up nice and high near the big whale Big sperm whale. Oh, it was fantastic. And then he went down for a nap and I treated daddy to a massage. Oh, what a rub I got while the Reuben was sleeping. This is an unbelievable back rubber. I got home, he was still sleeping. We then went to my parents. I ordered $500 in tow. We ate a bunch of sushi and celebrated. My dad, who earlier in the day we went to the best Ralph, the RALPH Lauren on 72nd in Madison. This is the most beautiful store I've ever been to, went and got him a couple of a cardigan and a nice shirt. He loved it. Maybe he's returning one, who knows? Gave him the gift receipt. But this is a wonderful day.

[A]

That sounds just fabulous. So your dad's birthday was the same

[B]

day as Father's Day the next day. So we had three days of Bruce. Ok.

[A]

I call it the Bruce trilogy, Benjamin.

[B]

Oh, I love that he did the voice. I posted him on Instagram for his birthday. Like him, like drinking a bourbon lemonade that he made saying, how easy is that? And the comments. This is another. What are you nuts? Disgusting. Calling him a zaddy, saying Bruce can get it. Just because he can get it doesn't mean you have to say it to my face. He can get it.

[A]

He can.

[B]

He can, though. He has such beautiful flowing hair. My mother's a lucky woman. My father's a lucky man. My mother's beautiful as well.

[A]

I thought you were going to say that. People were commenting on my impression and

[B]

how wrong is they were also saying that they were. They were saying I never. Based on what I heard, I never thought this is what Bruce looked or sounded like and it was really funny.

[A]

That's so good. Well, his voice is a little, and I see this with love. A little zestier in real life. Or was that just the Ina impression?

[B]

It was the Ina impression, but he's a zesty fella. I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. We're zesty men.

[A]

Me too.

[B]

We're zesting. Josh.

[A]

I saw this TikTok the other day that said if you see a boy who's kind of cute and you also think he's kind of gay, it'll probably be your husband.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, that's nice.

[A]

It's true, right? Like, that's us.

[B]

That's 100% us. Kind of gay. Kind of cute. Kind of gay. Hella Zesty.

[A]

The name of season four of the Good Guys podcast, Hella Zesty.

[B]

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Chilipad by sleep me. All right, morons, listen up because this one's for every single one of you who is still sweating through your sheets while your air conditioning is cranked down to the lowest possible setting. Your wife is wrapped up like a burrito under 17 blankets. You're lying there next to her, generating enough body heat to to warm a small village. The thermostat is set to whatever temperature. Lost the last argument. And shocker. No one's sleeping well, especially you, Biggie. What are you nuts? Meet Chilipad 2.0, the completely redesigned, upgraded and now even better bed cooling system that ends the thermostat war for good. Because quality sleep should not depend on who won the last fight about the temperature. Folks, here's how it works. Chillipad 2.0 is a water based mattress topper that sits on your existing mattress and controls your bed temperature from 55 degrees. You ready for this range? To 115. You set your side, your partner sets theirs, they stay toasty warm. You cool down to something as low as 55 degrees. I mean, you're going to be shivering. You're probably going to sleep great. They say that the colder you sleep, the better you sleep. You didn't hear that from me. You heard it from a doctor. I don't know which doctor, but somebody definitely said that. And regardless, everyone sleeps. Because if you're at your perfect temperature, everyone sleeps, nobody suffers, and there's peace in the bedroom at last. Also, if you don't yet have a life partner, I highly recommend recommend picking one that doesn't love hot when you love cold nightmare. Me and Claudia love to sleep at the same temperature. I don't know what I would do if my partner preferred it hot. I mean, you're just not compatible. You should really get divorced. And the Chilipad 2.0 is a serious upgrade from what came before. The new dock is quieter with a bigger internal water tank, so you're not stopping to refill it every couple of days. The topper is now a premium waterproof cover that unzips and goes right in the wash. Because life with kids is messy and your sleep setup should be easy, the nightstand remote is the part I want every moron listening to hear about. Each side of the bed gets its own dedicated physical thermostat with sensors that detect the moment you get into bed and automatically kick off your sleep program. No app, no fumbling with your phone at midnight, because we shouldn't be on our phones at midnight. You just get in and it handles everything that's how good gear is supposed to work, folks. Visit www.sleep.me goodguys to get your Chilipad 2.0 and save up to $225 with code goodguys. This special offer is available for our listeners of Good Guys, but only for a limited time. Plus, it's chips free and you can try it risk free for 30 days with flexible payment and financing options. And if you don't like it, return it at no cost. That's Sleep Me Good Guys Because Chili Pad is cheaper than couples therapy and more effective than the thermostat, this episode of the Good Guys Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Aria.

And then Tuesday night, I took him to see the great James Taylor at Jones Beach. Let me tell you, Josh, James Taylor is no longer great. And Jones beach is too far, okay?

[A]

Oh, too far.

[B]

I love James Taylor. Love him. Josh, have you ever been to a concert that had two acts?

[A]

Say more.

[B]

An intermission. For 30 minutes in the middle, he played eight songs, none of which anyone had heard of or remembered. James Taylor has, like, eight to ten killer songs.

[A]

Bangers.

[B]

Killer. Caroline, In My Mind. Sweet baby James. How sweet it is to be loved by you. Fire and rain, you've Got a friend. Okay, first of all, he didn't play half of those. What? Second of all, he played. Yeah. Yeah, Josh. Yeah. And my dad said maybe it's because he's older and he doesn't like the way that he sounds on some of those tracks anymore. But yet he didn't play You've Got A Friend.

[A]

Was he acoustic or did he have a band backing him?

[B]

He had a band backing him. Some of it was acoustic. Every song, he changed guitars, which. Like. Can't we be efficient here? Can't you play three straight songs with one guitar, then the next three with the next guitar? Every. After every song, you change guitar. Every song.

[A]

It's like these rockers with all those pedals. Oh, you know, distortion.

[B]

It's not that hard. Okay.

[A]

Oh, you're distorting.

[B]

It's not that hard.

[A]

Play it like it sounds. You know.

[B]

By the way. By the way, throw on Spotify and Lip Sync. That's all I needed out of Great. James. That's it. That's it. Yeah, Josh. So it was a little bit disappointing. Bruce had a great time, which is really all that matters. Jones beach, the weather was fantastic. But, Josh, this is a far venue. It's 50 miles. No, that's not right. It's 60 minutes, maybe 27 miles. But in traffic, it's far. It's not. It's not close to the city. It's far.

[A]

Well, growing up, that was like. People would elect to go to Jones beach over the Jersey Shore, which I never understood. My people are from Jersey, so we always made the schlep. But I guess that's at least an hour, too.

[B]

Yeah, they're. The Jersey. Jersey Shore is a little bit further. Technically. It depends on what part of the city you're in. I guess if you're in downtown Manhattan, it's a little bit closer. If you're in northern Manhattan, it's a little bit further. But Jones beach, you run into that Long island traffic, you're screwed. But it's a beautiful venue on the water, completely outside amphitheater, which we don't have that many of those, so it's a lovely venue. I'm just saying it's a little bit far.

[A]

It is far. It's a shame. Look, James Taylor is an icon of all icons. First of all, the muse of Carole King. Need I say more? The great Carole King, Jewish excellence. Also the first person to be signed to Apple Records, the Beatles record label.

[B]

Really?

[A]

And he's. Yeah, dude. And I hate to say this because he's literally my favorite artist, but I saw Stevie Wonder in the last 10 years, and I was like. Because I wanted to be able to say I saw him, and I was like, it's okay. I don't. I didn't need to at this time. He's still an icon and a legend, but, like, I want to remember him through his albums and his earlier stuff, I think.

[B]

Yeah, it's. It's the same thing. I wonder if. So if they're touring for them, which. It's very, like, common knowledge, the fastest way to die is to stop doing what you love and to stop working.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

Like, people say that they lose their minds the second they stop working.

[A]

So if.

[B]

If these guys are touring for them, I love it. If you're touring for me because you. I don't. I don't need it anymore. And if you need money, I'd much rather set up, like, a GoFundMe or something. No, no, I'll pay. I'll pay him and not go. I don't need to see that again. I don't need to see it again. I really don't. And I'm sorry. I love James. I love him. I don't need to see him again.

[A]

There's no accounting for taste, though, because I promise you, there were plenty of people who left that venue going. There has never been a greater performance than what we just saw.

[B]

You're right. I'm also. I'm turning into such just, like, an old pessimist Jew, because everything, like, literally, we. Literally, we left. I was so excited. I got my dad to leave before the encore. And as we got in the car and we're driving away, I'm like, this is the best part of the concert that we were going to beat all the traffic and he looked at me like I was fucking nuts.

[A]

You all you just hear and then in the background you. In my mind I'm going to

[B]

literally. I forget what song it was. It was my late and skin I

[A]

See Fire and I've Seen Rain.

[B]

Get in the car. It's such a funny and nuts thinking about it. We're literally like. I looked at the set list and my aunt passed away when I was one his sister and her favorite song. I'm blanking on what it was like was the first song of the encore and my dad's like, tomorrow's her birthday. Can we see it? I'm like, get in the car.

[A]

It's your aunt. My sister Davina. This was Davina's song.

[B]

Benjamin.

[A]

Dad, open the door.

[B]

Closer.

[A]

My beloved sister. She would listen to this when she would make her perogies. My dear Divina would play bridge while listening to James Taylor sing on the Hot cold railway. I don't know.

[B]

Oh my God. I have to look up what song it was. It's going to bother me. Oh, it's going to bother James Taylor. Setlist 2026.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

A lot of people googled that.

[A]

Oh God. How could you do this? This is like going after Mickey Mantle.

[B]

Secret of life. The secret life is enjoying the passage of time.

[A]

Is that how the song goes?

[B]

Yeah, it's a lovely song. Beautiful. Beautiful.

[A]

A little, you know.

[B]

And by the way, that's one of his best. All right, we gotta move on. It's too much James Taylor slander.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

I'm sorry, James. I'm sorry. I really do love you. And let me tell you, we have such a special relationship, me and my dad, surrounding James Taylor because he would sing instead of Sweet Baby James, he would sing Sweet Baby Ben. I now sing Sweet Baby Ruby. At one point I even sang Sweet baby Claudia when she couldn't fall asleep. That song is a big song for us and he didn't fucking play it. Okay. It wasn't even on his set list.

[A]

I just have to say that it's so nice that you have reverie for great music of the past and future like James Taylor. Because my wife has had a non stop earworm for the worst social media music ever. If I have to hear in my house one more time. You never take me to Bangladesh.

[B]

What? What is? You never take me to Bangladesh.

[A]

You don't know this? Oh my God. It's no Hot Hot hot on the charts.

[B]

I'm not. By the way, I'm not surprised that you never take me To Bangladesh.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

It's like the 200th place that I take you.

[A]

There's a song on TikTok where a guy's going, you never take me to Bangladesh. You never made me sausage on an open flame.

[B]

You're lying.

[A]

I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it justice. Hold on. You need to hear it. Here. Hold on. Is this gonna get us demonetized? If this gets us demonetized, I'm gonna lose it. Ok, ready?

[B]

That's fine.

[A]

Ready?

[B]

This song is playing in your home?

[A]

Dude, my wife and now my kids are singing it all the time. And then they're also singing this freaking.

[B]

It's all an earworm. Nice. Groovy. By the way. I couldn't hear it at all, but I didn't want to just have a straight tell. Sing that song for me down in San Juan. Oh, I know that song. I know that song. Wait, so are both of them. AI, because the second one's AI.

[A]

The Puerto Rico one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Thanks a lot, Sam Altman.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, fully.

[A]

AI.

[B]

That.

[A]

That.

[B]

There's like an app Sumo or something where you can like, make these songs. I made a Nick song. You? Oh, I made a Nick's punk rock song.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

Do you want to hear it? No. No. Are you sure?

[A]

No, no.

[B]

Are you sure? No. I have to find it.

[A]

I'll judge you.

[B]

I have to find it. I have to find it. It's. I have to find it is like

[A]

that hellacious Jesse Itzker, whatever his name is song.

[B]

Go to New York. Go, New York, go.

[A]

I can't.

[B]

I. I have to find it. Who.

[A]

What's his name? Jesse. Sarah Blakely's husband.

[B]

Yeah, it's Gitz.

[A]

No, it's not.

[B]

You just completely.

[A]

Oh, my God. You Jew faced his last name.

[B]

It's. Oh, my God. This is it. Can you hear?

[A]

No, I.

[C]

You know what?

[A]

It's that doom setting where it cuts out music. It's so annoying. But I want to hear.

[B]

I'm going to send this to you. See, we're at the course.

[C]

One second.

[A]

God, I'm so sorry. Listening.

[B]

They're going to love it. It's so good.

[A]

You can find this on Spotify. You don't even have to pay for it. They'll. They'll give it. They'll pay you to. To listen. This is the first song where Spotify pays you to listen to it, even if it's day.

[B]

Men. I can't believe I never said this to you.

[A]

When The Knicks are 25 and 90 next season, we can blame the curse of that song.

[B]

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Diamond Crystal Salt Company. We're talking gorgeous kosher salt flakes. Folks, as a celebrity chef, I don't need to tell you that you can trust my opinion. Let me tell you, this is the best salt, okay? It's not only the best salt for salting your meats, your soups, your salads. That's right, you should be salting your salad. Are you not salting your salad? Salt and pepper on your salad. That's why your salad tastes like crap. Okay? Not only for salads, omelets, eggs, you name it. Okay? Smoked salmon. But also for topping. It's so nice and flaky, you could literally do that little drizzle. Do you still call it a drizzle?

[A]

No.

[B]

Little waterfall. You can't say waterfall. It's not water. You can literally disperse the beautiful salt flakes on top of an avocado toast. You name it. This stuff is absolutely the best. It's fantastic. I highly recommend it. Look at how big this container is. I got this at Whole Foods, but you can get it really anywhere, okay? This stuff is amazing. It's absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it. It's significantly less difficult to over salt something when you have these big crystals because you can crystallize it, okay? Then you taste, crystallize and you taste. Meanwhile, if you have that grainy shit, that's not real salt, okay? All of a sudden, it seeps into the pores of your meat. You're screwed. It's over salted. Your wife's yelling at you. You don't need that. If you're looking for a better way to season prepare everyday meals, you really need to try Diamond Crystal kosher salt. A chef trusted salt made with light flaky crystals for easy control. Available online and nationwide at your favorite stores like Target, Kroger, Albertsons. I said Whole Foods and more. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Roe. Folks, I'm the poster child for GLP1s, okay? I've been on them, I've been off them, I've been on them, I've been off them. And let me tell you, it's the only successful diet I've ever had in my life. Why do I go off it? I don't know. I don't know. I should never go off it because it's wonderful. I'm not a doctor. I'm just telling you how I feel. It is so great for inflammation. Even if you're, you've reached your goal weight, right? And everybody says, oh, I want to be able to do it myself. It's just nice to have less inflammation. It's nice to have less hunger cravings. It's nice to have less food noise. So why do I ever go off it? I don't know. This isn't a therapy session, this is an ad. But I'm just telling you the way that I'm feeling, okay? And let me tell you, if you are at all interested in this journey and I highly recommend this journey, this is a great journey. You're going to love this journey, okay? It's a great journey. You're going to feel good, you're going to look good. And by the way, a lot of feeling good is looking good and a lot of looking good is feeling good. You hear me? Are we simpatico? You hear me? The best thing to do is to go to RO company. They have a free insurance checker that you're going to use because the only thing better than GLP1s are insurance covered. GLP1s. Okay, I've been insurance covered and then I've not been insurance covered. When I was a portly £290, they were, they were rip roaring ready to cover it. And then somewhere along the way in my journey, maybe they weren't covering it and they're covering it again. Mean you check and even if you're not covered, they still have the most competitive prices on the market. But if you are covered. Holy crap. Okay, throw a party, have a parade. Your GLP1s are covered by insurance. What a dream. But it's also, it's right. These are meds and they're not to be taken lightly. Should absolutely consult with a doctor. Should talk to anybody in your life. Or you can talk to me and you're just gonna hear from my experience. My experience is that I love them. My experience is that they changed my life. My experience is that they took me out of I need to go on a diet to. I'm just living, I'm eating whatever I want, but I'm naturally eating less. And because I'm just eating slightly less, I still feel like I'm eating everything. I can still order that pad Thai. I'm just having half of it. And half of it means half of this here belly. Okay, this is a turnt ad read, but you get the point. Rocko. Good free insurance checker row is where you go for your GLPs. Of course, Roe is FDA approved. And folks, you're gonna go to Roe. CO Good to get started on your GLP1 journey today. Row co. Good

[A]

now for your beloved Nicks. If by chance,

[B]

You love it. Yes.

[A]

Yeah, I get, I get it. I, I do get, I get, I get the sentiment.

[B]

You have to go to the chorus.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Go to the chorus now. The Garden's going crazy.

[A]

Okay, here we. I can't believe you like this music. Okay.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Great.

[B]

Really good. Wow.

[A]

Okay. So that happened. That definitely happened.

[B]

That was a great time.

[A]

That was a moment in our lives. Glad everyone could go take a pee break during the pod. What? Ben, be real. What if the Knicks don't even make the playoffs next season? What happens then?

[B]

I'm ready to be a fan of a different team. My quest, my quest has ended. It has, like, oh, yeah. Like, I, it's funny. I, I, I don't need them to ever do anything ever again.

[A]

Right?

[B]

I'm good. I'm good. In fact, me trying to chase that high again is so completely unrealistic. I don't care if they're dog shit forever. I got mine.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

It's done. That's it. I'm thrilled. People are like, it could be a dynasty. It's like the chances of the Knicks being a dynasty.

[A]

No, please.

[B]

Okay? Let's not, let's not overshoot. We somehow won the championship. It doesn't even make any sense. The Knicks aren't supposed to win championships, okay? They're just not. It's like a Jewish basketball player dunking. We're not supposed to do that. So when it happens, like, it's very. We celebrate it. It's very exciting.

[A]

Keep it pushing.

[B]

But then we don't expect it again.

[A]

This is what happened with me being a lifelong Los Angeles Kings hockey team fan, which, in 2012, we had a historic season. We beat the New Jersey Devils and we became Stanley cup winners for the first time ever, mind you.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

We had Wayne Gretzky on our team.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Wow. So we had all the help we needed, and we still can do it. But up until that, being a Kings fan was like just a lot of heartache. Cut to the next year we lose the year after, we win again. Okay? And I got to say, since then, I have to remind myself of, like, what are you doing? Daring. Having any hope for the Kings. This is no shame on my beloved Kings. It just is what it is. They've gone back to the King's ways. Shout out, respect. They're a bunch of Dirty dogs. Like, I like my hockey players and they're trying to win. Will they? Maybe not, but I'm still going to root. But like the fact that I expect them to win another Stanley cup soon, I think I'm being selfish. I think I'm being greedy.

[B]

As we're talking about sports, Josh, are you into this World Cup?

[A]

I'm so glad you brought it up. I attended the opening match.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

At Sofi Stadium with my beloved boys.

[B]

Tell us about that experience, Josh.

[A]

So I really don't. While you and I respect this about you, Ben, you have decided that lives live events are worth spending the money for.

[B]

Yes. I have not understood and I don't understood.

[A]

It's mostly because I love the TV experience and I think it's superior in 95% of the things that agreed. That being said, it was such a once in a lifetime moment. I love soccer. It was in my backyard. I don't live far from Sofi where the stadium was that had the opening match in America. America versus paroi. Beautiful country. Okay.

[B]

Beautiful.

[A]

So shout out the great FIFA hospitality. They were able, I was able to secure me plus one for my oldest son. I said, I can't do this to my dear Shai Meyer. You don't get to come. You're one. You can't appreciate this.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

But my dear shy, you're three. You're not gonna really care either, but at least you can have bragging rights that you went.

[B]

Yes, yes.

[A]

We drive up, FIFA hospitality comes through and they go, you and your two sons may come. I said, wow, this is FIFA.

[B]

Beautiful.

[A]

You guys know how to make a video game and you know how to make dreams come true, you know?

[B]

Yes, they do.

[A]

And somewhere in the middle you do soccer. But I'm all about the video games in my life.

[B]

Me too. Me too.

[A]

And so we drive up to Sofi and I gotta tell you, this is really. And I think this is sort of anti the way you and I approach things, but I gotta say, it's kind of better. They said to me, they were like, look, all we'd like is for you to do walk down the carpet and take a photo. And that's all we ask. And maybe an Instagram story, so. Kidding me. Please, you know, ask for more reciprocity here. But they said the carpet closes at 430, so we need you there around four. But the game doesn't start till six. Sorry, sorry.

[B]

Oh, my God, the match.

[A]

So. But you know what? Everyone was like, josh, this is going to be super bowl level security. Like, it is going to be at a level you have not experienced. So if you don't get there early, you're done Anyway. So we left the house like it. We picked up young shy from preschool at 3:15, me and Max, we drove to Sofi. We get there, it was a flipping breeze. We walk through the carpet. It's now like 4:15. There was a 45 minute wait on the merch line. That's how many people were in line to get merch. But am I stressing? No, we're early. I go to the snacks, I'm going things. It was like so nice because, you know, I just, everything I do, it's like I'm so tight and white knuckling and rushed. And this was like, we'll get the merch, we'll get food and we'll still make it to our seats on time. It's kind of a leak, I guess. So it's not your way, is it?

[B]

No, no. Hearing that, it's like a nightmare. It's like, what am I gonna do for two hours before the game? But I guess you're right. I guess you wait on the merch line, you get some food. I guess you could just smell the roses and not think about what you'd be doing with your time back. I suppose it's a way of existing.

[A]

I know, very, very sarcastic, but like, think, think about it. Right? I know you. So that means from five to six, you're white, knuckled, stressed. In that car, you are, because you're in gridlock, traffic, praying that parking is going to work. Then the moment you're out of the car, you're like, let's go. Ruby on the shoulders. Flexibility, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're rushing, rushing, rushing. Then you're like, fuck, I want to get some merch. I know you loved your, your New York Knicks merchant. Like, that's out, right? Because you show up five minutes before, it's an hour and a half line, you're done. So, like, we're not going to get the merch. There's no food and I was just stressed for an hour. Or I could have come earlier and just not been stressed and enjoy this like once in a lifetime thing now.

[B]

I think that. Go. I think that, I think that the. I think that going with kids changes the whole equation. I agree with you that going with kids, you show up early, you do the experience. This is me and you going, I'm showing up right before. Oh, I didn't get FIFA merch. I'm gonna be okay. Okay. I'm gonna watch a beautiful match. I'm gonna go home. I'm actually gonna leave. I'm telling you. I'm leaving in the middle of the second half.

[A]

We did.

[B]

Because I did. Okay, good. Yeah. I'm leaving in the middle of the second half. And that's no shade to soccer. I did that. I forget what Islander game I went to. The game was going to overtime out. That was the perfect time to leave because I can't sit. It's a disease. I can't sit in that traffic. I can't sit there for an hour trying to leave a stadium. It would. It ruins the whole experience for me totally.

[A]

And we left during, you know, probably around, like, minute 70, partly because by then it was almost 8. And shy goes to bed then. And we got to see three goals from America. At this point, Paraguay hadn't even. They hadn't even scored yet. So it was like.

[B]

It was three. It was three. Zip us.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, you went to a route. Isn't that gorgeous? That's the best. That's why. That's my. Baseball's fun. Like, you could go up 18, nothing through five innings. You can leave.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, no action's happening in six through nine. Basketball's tougher because you never know. Imagine I left that fucking Nick game. Game four. There's a version of me. It wouldn't have been the NBA Finals regular season. I would have left, of course. Down 29 at the half.

[A]

Please.

[B]

I would have left. I would have left.

[A]

Yeah, man.

[B]

I would have left.

[A]

I think it's like. Because also, what are you trading? That hour that I. I see it with all the OGs in my life, they're like, I'd rather be 20 minutes early and not be stressed the whole way there. Then, like, what do you. Like, what are you trade. That's what I want to. Like, am I trading a couple extra emails? A little more scrolling. Another half hour of the show I was watching, like, what am I really missing out on? And exchanging it to be stressed.

[B]

I. No, I. I think you're right. I definitely think that you're right. And I think that it is. Maturity is about better time management and setting expectations of the people around you. Even if it's not what you just said, even if it's legitimate work, you have a lot of work to do, legit work. Just take a half day. Take a half day because you know that you have something that's going to stress you out if you don't finish working at one. I'm totally with you, especially if you're something that's once in a lifetime. FIFA at home, World cup. This is once in a lifetime for sure.

[A]

It was.

[B]

And it was beyond.

[A]

And you know that.

[B]

I agree with you.

[A]

That's the thing too. I'm learning about the great David Epstein has a book coming out that he's been. That he's been promoting. And he talks about the time fallacy, the time expectation fallacy. He's like, things never take less time than we think. Almost there's no task. He's like, we always give ourselves too little time. He's like, so give yourself a goal of one, maybe two things for the day. He's like, yeah. Because once those are completed, anything else is bonus. But there's a good chance that those things will be the only things you get done that day. But you hit your goal.

[B]

I mean, that's what like monster CEOs do. Like, they, they will have like one actually important thing to do that day.

[A]

Right?

[B]

And as long as they got that thing that is really important done, they moved the business forward. Yeah. The person like me with literally like a chicken Scratch list of 250,000 things that when I don't check them all off, I'm cryptically stressed. I could use better time management, for sure.

[A]

This episode is brought to you by Starbucks.

[B]

Josh, have you ever seen a more gorgeous beverage? Do you know what this is?

[A]

First of all, it's the summer I'm ready to enjoy myself, but I need a cold drink to define me. So I'm all in. Just a disclaimer. Go, Ben.

[B]

This tropical butterfly refresher is honestly like an award winning painting. I've never seen anything like it. I feel like I'm in East Hampton. It's eight o'.

[A]

Clock.

[B]

I turned to my wife, I said, let's go to the beach. Let's prioritize us. And all of a sudden I see this drink. This is. This is it, Josh. This is a happy summer. This is a happy summer.

[A]

And you know what? You're in East Hampton. I'm in the carpool line at my kids camp. My wife's frustrated with me. We've been dealing with, I can't tell you what. But the truth is I go, I need a little something to pep up my day. Tropical refresher. Boom.

[B]

It's gorgeous. This is the pep in the. This is the pep in my step that I need. Josh, can we give this a taste? Let me try this.

[A]

Too late, too late.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It is so freaking good. Oh, my God, it is so good.

[A]

Are you. Are you getting those guava and passion fruit flavors? Coming through.

[B]

That's exactly what I'm getting. This is guava and passion fruit.

[A]

You know what they are, actually, I think they're mango. Pineapple flavored pearls. Oh, my God.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I mean, it makes drinking fun, right? Like, I'm so tired of just, like, hitting the straw, getting the liquid. I want a little something, like a little surprise, you know?

[B]

This is the most delicious drink I've ever had. And if you want yours, you can order it on the Starbucks app. Every day I wake up, I put my order on the app, I go, there, it's ready. This was literally ready.

[A]

This drink is literally your summer cheat code. It's tropical, it's refreshing, like us. I got a nice. Thank you here. Sometimes I get a, you know, like a little inspirational quote.

[B]

Starbucks. Wow. Delicious.

[A]

So good.

[B]

Unlock all the best summer memories with the tropical butterfly refresher at Starbucks.

[A]

Should we get into some weird news?

[B]

We should. Josh, did you see that on polymarket? You can trade who the Spotify top global artists is going to be. Did you see this look with polymarket,

[A]

I'd be trading left and right. It's fun for me. But tell me, who are we thinking?

[B]

I mean, I went to a James Taylor concert last night at Jones beach, and I'm not going to lie, I think he might win New Artist of the Year. Yeah, this, like, new hit song, how sweet it is to be loved by you, One of my favorite. Just might just win. Okay. It might. He might be like. I know he's probably an underdog, okay, in the. In the polls. Okay. But then you can trade for some good stuff. Josh, I think I'm going James Taylor.

[A]

You look right now, Bad Bunny is at the top of the list, but I think people are sleeping on Soulja Boy.

[B]

You know, I. I agree. I think Soulja Boy and maybe, maybe Jo. Josh, we could get Soulja Boy on a James Taylor song.

[A]

What? A collab? Like when Elton John and Eminem did something.

[B]

Correct. You know, Rockaby, Sweet Baby James. How about Rockaby Sweet Baby Soulja Boy? Tell him, soldier boy up in my

[A]

mind I'm in Carolina.

[B]

Oh, my God. But seriously, you can trade it Bad Bunny. Look at this list. Drake, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars. I mean, Bruno Mars. I think Bruno's a good trade, Josh. I like it. Bruno's a good trade is polymarket.

[A]

It's available on the U.S. app Store. Yes. I mean, I think it's straight popping.

[B]

It's available on the US App Store, and you can trade on culture, entertainment and more all in one place. Josh, you just gotta download the app and use code Goodguys for a free $50 to get started.

[A]

And you know what else on the Spotify Top global artists of 2026, right now on Polymarket, Drake is trending. Is it Drake the rapper? Is it my Drake Bell? You'll have to go and see, won't you? California cities dominate national catfish rankings as major west coast hub takes the crown of shame. There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but a new survey says west coast singles are getting hooked up by catfish. That's right. San Francisco was ranked second in the nation as San Diego tied for third with Las Vegas. But number one was. I'm sure the New York Post, where this is from, is going to make this super easy for me to find. Seattle took the crown of shame with a not so perfect score of 100, with nearly 94% of locals saying they had been catfished online.

[B]

Wow. What's going on on the west coast that people I've. It's very, very rare that you hear on the east coast somebody was catfished. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know anybody that was catfished. Like, catfishing is specific to dating, Correct. It's not just like being swindled to sign up for a credit card or like, somebody trying to get your banking information. Cat, being catfished is specifically related to. You thought there was an eligible bachelor or bachelorette on the other side of this exchange, correct?

[A]

Yeah. Let's call it romantic.

[B]

Okay. So, yeah, I don't know anybody that has been romantically catfished. Do you?

[A]

I don't. I've been catfished. We talked about this with Nev. Showman.

[B]

Yes, yes, yes.

[A]

The Great Showman. That. Where I just. This person appeared in my life when I was, like, 19, like, texting me, and I, like, they were so good because it made me feel like I had met them before at an event or something. And then we chatted for, like, over a year, but it would just be, like, passing tax. And then like, sure, on a random drunken Saturday night, sometimes we get, like, a little saucier. And then basically I was like, when I would be in New York, I'd be like, hey, we should go grab dinner or something. And somehow something always came up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's interesting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then I told you one time, because I was lit. Josh Peck. I was, like, trying to Find some weed in the city. Got any connects? And she was like, for sure my friend will meet you at a Dwayne Reed. And I was like, sick. Weed is lit. And I met her friend, and I think maybe it was her. And she gave me some marijuana. And I don't know.

[B]

How fun is that?

[A]

I know.

[B]

You know what I'd do to get in a 2002 Honda Civic with a $20 bill in my palm? Fear for my life. Shake a hand and pop out and get some good gonge. It's too easy now. That's why I don't smoke, Josh. That and many other reasons. The thrill was a part of it. What? I'm gonna go to my local dispensary, meet Ted, and pick up a 20 bucks in weed. No.

[A]

No fun.

[B]

It's not fun.

[A]

No good.

[B]

No fun. No. I like the rush. I like the rush.

[A]

Is there.

[B]

We got any.

[A]

There's another. Yes. I'm happy to hit you with another story, which is desperate singles beg cute men to approach them at bars. Can y' all please start going out? The New York Post reports. As fed up singles swipe endlessly on dating apps or hire pricey matchmakers to find their happily ever after, it's fair to say that the days of meeting a potential suitor at a bar are long gone. So, yeah, basically, ladies are begging cute boys to actually approach them at bars.

[B]

We're in a tough spot, Josh, with the rise of GLPs, shout out, Ro, we love you.

[A]

Sure do.

[B]

People are drinking way less. In turn, people are going to bars less. Because, like, the real attraction of a bar is liquor and then an event and meeting people. Sure. But you're missing that social lubricant. And I just think that with the AI and with our phones and with. There's so much social anxiety and I don't know, we gotta right the ship. But I'm certainly happy I'm not single today.

[A]

Absolutely. And I think you just gotta, like, get over it. I mean, it's so trite. But this was the thing when I was, like, an insecure, you know, young man trying to meet, like, a cute girl. It was like my boy was like, bro, just put up numbers, dog. He's like. He's like, put up numbers. Don't be afraid to know Maji. And boy, was it helpful?

[B]

No. That's unbelievable advice. It really is. It really is. Because a lot of people are very scared, myself included. I can remember a time I was petrified to put up numbers. Like, you just got to try. You Got to put yourself out there.

[A]

Remember, it's not a reflection on you. They're a stranger. Like. And you could even be like.

[B]

It's good advice.

[A]

Let's assume you're a hard six. You're like, not that cute, but you're not ugly. You're just like, fine. Like, you could be someone's flavor or not. But it's not personal. It really isn't.

[B]

Yeah. Even if you're a little fat, it's no big deal.

[A]

Especially if you're gonna try. I feel like that's more in lately.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

God, I'm 188.

[B]

A little fat. I wish I was a little fat.

[A]

You are.

[B]

I'm a lot fat. Do we.

[A]

You're not.

[B]

No, I'm a lot fat.

[A]

No, you're not.

[B]

I think.

[A]

You know what? It upsets me when I watch the pod back and I see those games out now. I hate you in shorts, but no, I like you in shorts. I hate you in shorts. On the bod. But you have beautiful legs.

[B]

Thank you, darling. It's way too hot to not be in shorts. What am I going to do? Wear sweatpants? You. You'd see. You'd be. I'd be sweating.

[A]

Put on tear away pants that are licensed by fanatics and have them on for the podcast and rip them off as you can.

[B]

Tear away. Would work. Or I could do what you do, which is sit at a nice desk. This is a lot. This is lovely. Then I could wear Whatever. I don't even know if you're wearing pants.

[A]

And we're keeping it that way. Hun. Should we get to. What? Are you nuts?

[B]

We should. Folks, our what do you.

[A]

Nuts?

[B]

Moment of the week is our gripes with people, places and things both big and tall. Whatever's sticking in your craw. I'll tell you, it's sticking in my craw.

[A]

Josh. Tell me.

[B]

I guess we're electing a new congressman in New York. And the only reason I know. And the only reason I know that, no, this isn't political at all. The only reason I know. The only reason I know that is because incessantly, on both sides, I'm being stopped every single day. Would you like to hear about Alex Boris? No, I don't. I don't want to hear about him. I didn't even know. I don't know who he is. I don't know what he is. No, I don't want to hear about Alex Boris. And then I go to the next one. It's like, would you like to hear About? No, I don't want to hear about anybody. I was just walk. I just parked my car. I'm just walking home. I don't want to hear about anybody. Okay, this one, Josh, it gets, goes up a notch. I walk out of my building, I'm approached by a woman. She says, I'm ex candidate's mother. Do you have time to hear more about him? And I think, oh, you know, that's sure. Okay, I hear about it. I get to the next block. I get to the next block. Josh, I'm so and so's mother. Would you like to hear more about his campaign? Are you kidding me, Josh?

[A]

Deceit.

[B]

Deceit.

[A]

Ugh.

[B]

So it's a. What are you, nuts? Stop telling me about a candidate. I'm just walking on the street. I, I, I don't want to be met with politics when I'm, I'm just walking around. I know. I don't want to hear about him. I don't want to hear about her. I don't want to hear about them. I don't care if you're their mother. I don't care. What are you, nuts?

[A]

I don't care either. My woody and nuts is the other day, I was walking around on set, and this crew member comes up to me. He says to me, whoa, hey, man, you're from Drake and Josh, right? You're from Drake and Josh? I go, yeah, yeah, man, I am. He goes, what's your name? I go. I said, josh. I'm Josh. He goes, whoa. You played Josh, right?

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

I was like, what are you nuts? No.

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

My name is Josh and I played Drake. What are you crazy, Dude, Come on.

[B]

No, the whole exchange. That's terrible.

[A]

He was not a smart boy.

[B]

No, he just, like, he was probably trying to, like, somehow play it cool. Like, stop playing it cool, people. It's not cool. Okay?

[A]

You like drinking, Josh? Not cool. No, I'm kidding.
