A
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 of good of the good guys. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I love working for Mormon people.
B
Yeah, me too. And I love working with Mormon people. God bless the Mormons. God bless Jesus Christ.
A
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
B
People forget, I have no problems with Mr. Jesus. Quite the opposite. Jesus was out there trying to spread his gospel. You know, maybe he had a slight different interpretation and, you know, maybe some disciples got a little carried away with it and he ended up on a cross. But look, I love Jesus. I'm here. I love Jesus. I'm here to say I love Jesus, Josh.
A
Me too. I think we should put this into action. Let's take some action with our love conversion.
C
Great. Sure.
B
I don't know what we're converting to because Jesus was Jewish. Yeah, But. Yeah, look, the Jews for Jesus movement.
C
Josh.
B
I don't know enough about it. I would like to learn more. Okay. I would like to learn more about Jews for Jesus. I'm very curious. Do you know anything about Jews for Jesus?
A
No, but what I would say is. Pick a side, would you? No, I don't know.
B
Yeah, no, no, no. The problem is every. I'm going to generalize here. Everybody that I've ever heard is Jews for Jesus is a little nuts. Like, there's something going on. Your Jews for Jesus. It's. It feels like. Yeah, fringe is. Fringe is the right word.
A
It's.
B
Fringe, by the way, a fantastic material. Fringe.
A
It's a material.
B
Is it?
C
No. Fringe.
D
A style.
B
Yeah. Okay.
C
What?
A
Okay.
B
We could have rolled with it. No problem.
A
Could I?
B
No problem.
A
You could have co starred my lies.
B
You have good. You have good fringe. Good. Fringe.
A
Fringe.
B
Fringe.
A
Fringe is like. Yeah, it's like on the edges of material, but I think it's a.
B
A shape of material.
A
I'm on too much Wellbutrin to think this deeply.
B
I forgot to say, I think Olivia is.
A
You're a beauty. A. Well, beauty.
D
Yes, I am. I am indeed. Well, beauty takes rounded care.
B
A beauty. A beauty.
A
That's so funny. You know, I could tell because they've been keeping the scissors away from me and Olivia here at Dear Media.
B
Okay. They haven't talked to Her.
C
I'm.
B
Well, you guys look well and beautiful. You like that?
A
I do like that. Maybe. Can you imagine? We do a nice ad readful.
B
I love it. I'm in pharmaceuticals. They pay, man. They pay. And the best part, it's always like, do you or somebody, you know, take Wellbutrin? And now I can say, yes, I know someone who does.
A
It's fantastic.
B
You could. They can pay me very well. Butrin.
A
It's. It's the at. What do they call it? Like, not the dark arts, but there's like, a word for, like, the dark side of commerce. And I guess it's like alcohol, tobacco. It's atf. It's alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and then also pornography.
B
Sure, but what is pornography's in there?
A
I don't know. There's like, a phrase, though, like, for those things, like, promoting them. So, like, let's do. We've done this before, but let's pick, like, two things that would be hard to advertise, and let's really. Let's really sell them.
B
Ooh, ooh, that's good enough. And? And nothing gross. Yeah, you start. As long as it's not sex toys. You start.
A
All right, let's see something that's not good, but good. Uranium. Listen, we know, okay, that nuclear power is the future. But now it's your time to own a little piece of nuclear fission. This is the material that won US World War II. Do you not love America? Now you can have some uranium of your own. Is it highly radioactive? Sure. Is there a chance you're not going to store it properly? Hey, it's called living, Josh.
B
Today, for a limited time, you can get two uraniums for the price of one and just pay shipping. Nine. 99 for shipping. Two uraniums for the price of one. If you go to www.uniumnow.com, that's www.uniumnow.com. two for one, free shipping.
C
I love it.
B
Ooh, you sold me, Josh. You sold me. Okay, what should I sell?
A
Glock. Glock?
B
Glock? No, I think it's. I would love to. No, I think it's.
C
Have you ever wanted to take a.
B
Magical trip through the forest? Perhaps skip around, look at the trees and think, oh, my God, is the tree talking to me? Or is that just my deep, dark inner thoughts? Well, folks, I've got the perfect medicine for you. Medicinal magic mushrooms. Okay, they're gonna come in 1 gram packs, 5 gram packs, 10 gram packs. The more you buy, the more you save. 30 grams for the price of 20 grams, 40 grams for the price of 10 grams. Don't do the math. It's all great. You're gonna go to magicmushrooms.com goodguys to get 20% off your magic mushrooms today.
A
Shiitake cremini. It's making me crazy.
B
I love mushrooms. Not magic. I just love regular mushrooms. Magic, too. Sure, regular mushrooms. Josh, these are fantastic. Except the portabella. I don't know why the portabella. There was a fantastic PR campaign for the portabella mushroom. This is an inferior mushroom, okay? There's so many better mushrooms.
A
If this was a Family Guy episode, it would just cut to Ben at Burning man in khakis and just a bunch of weirdos being like, yeah, and then goes, portobellos. What's the deal? Who is Portobello's publicist? I'm telling you, they're working with the same people as pasta water, which, by the way, I'm done with your starchy pasta water. Oh, what is this?
C
You didn't.
A
You didn't discover a new element? Get over it.
B
I'm done with it. Josh, this is a wonderful, wonderful thing that you've brought up because it is far too hard for us to cook pasta perfectly al dente. And remember to reserve pasta water. Sorry. We use a strainer. We're straining the pasta. And by the time I remember that that starchy pasta water was called for in the recipe, it's down the drain. Josh, we should make bottled pasta water.
A
Wow, that. Now that's smart. This kid.
B
You like that?
A
You have a bachelor's. You just.
B
You like that? Josh, bottled pasta water, okay? It's starchy, it's cheap, it's fantastic. You're gonna buy it, okay? It's gonna be the amplifier for all of your pastas. Pastinas or orzos, whatever you want, okay? It's going to be a gluten. No, not gluten free. It's going to be a healthier alternative to a cream based thickener, okay? And it's fantastic. I love it. We could also sell them almost as, like, bouillon cubes. You like that too? You drop in a cube pasta water.
A
I like it.
C
Magic.
A
I wanted to. Look, we got to put it in one of those bottles that you get it. Supercuts. You know what I'm saying?
B
Yes. You know, I love it. A spray bottle? Yeah. Or the Graza bottles. You know, those with the squeeze. Braza knows what they're doing, man. Those squeeze bottles, all they did was take olive oil and put it in a squeeze bottle. I'm buying it. Are you buying it?
A
So smart. You know why? It's because everyone wants to feel like they're in the bear. You know what I'm saying? They grab that olive oil, they put it on their wildly mediocre dish, but they think they're Jeremy Allen White, dressing it up like they're someone special. You're not special. You're not Jeremy Allen White. You have two names, not three.
B
You're not. You're not. You're not special at all.
A
He's a good actor, that Jeremy Allen White, huh?
B
Yeah. And he's also a handsome devil. He's got the. He's the total package.
A
Is he?
B
You don't think so? I think so.
A
I think he's.
B
I think he certainly has a look.
A
I'm not disparaging him in any way. I think he's the total package. But I think if you look at him and you don't, and you didn't know that behind it is this brilliant actor, sex appeal thing, maybe you wouldn't like. I don't know, is he stunning?
B
I don't know if he's stunning. I will agree with you there that if I pulled him out and Jeremy Allen White was just a model, ok? No acting, no nothing, just a model. He's definitely a worse looking guy, but knowing that he is frigging cool. Okay?
A
Oh, yeah.
B
And that he's got. And that he's got like all these great parts and roles and I've seen Shameless. I don't know how old he is. Is he. Is he. I don't know how old he is. He's 34 now.
C
How old he is?
A
34.
B
God damn it.
A
He sure is.
B
Wow. He's in it.
C
He's in it.
B
Josh.
A
He's accomplished so much.
B
Yeah, please. But is he happy?
A
Do I sound like a hater? I don't mean to sound like a hater because he is handsome.
B
He.
A
He's the whole package. And, and you know what A mensch. A sweetie. A sweetie Petey.
B
I've never met him. You don't sound like a hater at all. But you've met him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
I knew him, you know, I knew his ex or I know his ex wife, Addison, and so we had some, like, fun kids, birthday parties. Addison and I grew up together. We went to the same performing arts high school in New York. And, and every. Every interaction with Jeremy, he couldn't have been nicer, which is just so annoying because he's so talented, too.
B
Yeah, yeah. Total package.
C
Total package.
B
We've spoken about him recently. We spoke about Glenn Powell. Or no, that's another total package.
A
Total.
B
And I've been watching. We talk about Chad Powers yet or no? No, Josh, I love this show. It's dumb. It's dumb funny, but it's like a fun 30 minute episode. Watch. Big fan of what's going on on Netflix with him and that show. He is a disgraced football player and his dad is a makeup artist in Hollywood and he misses doubtfires himself and sneaks onto a team and it's just like a cute, funny, great show. And he's a really nice guy. Like, I just, I don't know why I think of him and Jeremy Allen White, I guess they're both total packages and they're both the future of Hollywood. That's why I put them together.
A
They really are.
B
Three of you. The three of you are the future of Hollywood.
A
I'm the future of Hall. Mark.
B
By the way, great.
A
I'm ready to go.
B
You're the future of Bollywood.

B
We need the chai guys. Bollywood, Josh. You know what they pay in Bollywood?
A
Plenty, right?
B
More than plenty. If you got. If, okay, somebody approaches you, they say, josh, you are going to be the number one, number one actor in Bollywood.
A
Keep talking.
B
You can't act in. You can't act on Hollywood anymore. Oh, you're done with loss.
A
But you are in 10 years going, where's Josh Peck?
B
You are going to be the number one actor in Bollywood. You're in, right?
A
So in so quickly.
C
What?
B
Even if you have to move to India.
A
How long?
B
Forever.
C
Forever.
A
That's long.
B
You're the king of Bollywood. How do you leave India? You leave your house and everybody's, like, shaking the. The Bollywood Whatever the fuck they're called Tambourines. Like, you're Bollywood, man. You're there.
C
Max is gonna leave.
B
Max is the prince of Bollywood.
A
I just wake up every morning, I say to Paige, I'm like, should we go get coffee? Like, yeah, we leave our house. We just go.
B
Exactly. Matt, literally, your life would be amazing. You wake up, you say hello to your gorgeous family. You walk downstairs, you get a piece of naan, you walk down the street, and everybody's celebrating you. They're like, josh, the Bollywood king is here. You're the Bollywood walk of fame. Honestly, we could probably create this on AI and I would love to see it just like a video of you being the king of Bollywood. I need it. Somebody, a moron, should make it. Make that AI video. Ok? Make it.
A
I see it. I see it for myself. It would be an honor. I've never been to India. I'm dying to go. And I just see, you know, when you see these. When you see these big stars in other markets in Asia, in Europe, and in the Middle east, right? And they're, like, good and famous. They're just not as famous in America. Their lives seem cool. They're always driving Bugattis. They're always hanging out with Cristiano Ronaldo. Is there a chic involved? Hey, probably. But you know what? They're having fun. Old school fun.
C
And.
B
And they always somehow have 80 million followers on Instagram. You notice that they always casually have, like, 80 to 100. Because if you're not popular in the US you're popular everywhere else. OK, there's the US and then there's the world, and these people really are global icons. I feel like we here. Unless you're like, Kim Kardashian, okay, nobody knows who Glen Powell is. Again, respect to Glenn Powell. He's fantastic. Nobody knows Glen Powell in India, do they? Do they know Glen Powell in the beginning?
C
I guess.
B
You think so. Like, that's like. I just like. Like, I think of, like, okay, Kim Kardashian. They're global superstar icons that live in the US But I feel like it's like a. There's like a very small percentage. DiCaprio, Tom Hanks.
A
Kim Kardashian is a global. The Kardashian brand is as global as global gets.
B
As global as global gets. Yeah, Agreed. Agreed. As global as global gets. And yeah, you know, it's just interesting there are people here who think the shit don't stank. Well, go to a different country, your shit stinks.
A
Yeah. You know, good luck in Malta. Ok. It doesn't translate. You know Roberts. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know.
B
Was, was, was Malta in your head? Because they, they have. I read something. By read I mean I saw a TikTok. For ten grand you can become a citizen of Malta. There's nothing else involved. It's just cash.
A
That's cool, right?
C
100% open border policy.
B
As long as you have 10 grand.
A
Yeah. I'm down to clown. I suppose it would be good to have two passports. As long as you don't have to like pay heavy taxes in the country you're not living in.
B
I can't imagine that they're. That they have taxes in Malta. It just feels like a tax free place. You know, I think it's pretty, it's.
A
Fairly wealthy but like I'm also a day one ride or die. So like I'm going down with the American ship and I don't even ride that hard for her. But like I'm. I'm down to go like a. Like I want to go down like a patriot.
B
I was going to say you, you ride for her. You ride for her pretty hard as you should. I ride for her hard. We live here. It's like the same thing that I'm going through right now. It's like. And I don't want to talk about the election. The election, by the way, has now passed. When this episode comes out, the election has passed. And what I'd like to say to my future self is that whatever happens, happens. It will it. What will be will be. But I'm going to love my city no matter what. Ok? Just because New Yorkers were idiots and did the wrong thing, I'm going to love my city no matter what. Okay, I'll love him.
A
Should we do a choose your own adventure and you should record duel. Congratulations. One for Cuomo. One for Curtis Iwa. No. And one for Mamdani.
B
We can. Yeah, sure. It's going to go something like this. In a shocking turn of events, Andrew Cuomo has become the mayor of New York. He was the best of the worst. I wish him well and I'm very thankful to New Yorkers for realizing that there was a radical running. Curtis Sliwa. Ok? Curtis Sliwa. There's no fricking shot that he wins. This guy he must. He must honestly be on Mamdani's payroll. Josh Curtis Sliwa is on Mamdani's payroll. He's a 0% chance of winning. He's going to suck up 10% of votes. And because these idiot Republicans are going to vote for him, even though New York will never, ever turn red. It will never turn red.
C
Ever.
B
He shouldn't be running, so I'm not even doing that. Zuran Mamdani, no shocker wins. I'm very sad today. That said, we are going to pick ourselves up by our bootstraps, and we are going to pray that all of the things that he is trying to do that seem radical in nature won't be achieved. And I hope that over the next four years, we learn our lesson and things get better. I'm in.
A
Well, I wish. I wish you'd gone a little funnier with it. Jesus, Olivia, make it known.
B
There's nothing funnier. There's nothing funny. There's nothing funny about the future of the city.
A
No, it's great. Our show either gets five star or one star reviews.
B
It's so good. There's nothing funny about it. Then why'd you bring it up if there's nothing funny about it? Why? Holy crap. What were you talking about? Glenn Powell. Yeah, Glenn Powell's got a great ass. Like, that's great. Love Glenn.
A
He's a handsome kid.
B
Booty. He's a handsome kid. We can't. Can't comment on it, Josh, but I don't know if you saw that Sydney Sweeney was practically naked on the. On the Runway yesterday.
C
See this?
B
Oh, yes. Airing.
C
Everything.
B
Everything, Josh. Everything. You might as well just look for. It's purely for informational purposes.
A
I don't doubt it. I mean, she. When she was on Euphoria, she. She had some pretty provocative scenes.
B
Yes, yes, certainly.
A
All right, well, just for your research purposes.
B
And I'm going to make sure this. No, I'm kidding. It's just for. It's just for research, Josh. It's just for research purposes. There's no other reason why you would be looking at this 100%.
C
Just. You should.
B
You should stay informed and everybody. Everybody listening, you know? You know, everybody listening. You should all be informed. You know, I got to give her.
A
A lot of credit because it's kind of. It's fun. You know what it is? It's a. It's an. It's a bait and switch in the best way, because you see her haircut and you go, oh, did Fox News get a new Anchor. And then you go below the collarbone and you go, this is msnbc. No, I don't know.
B
You're like. You're like, Good for you, Ms. Sweeney. So, yeah, I highly encourage everybody to do their research.
A
I just want to say I love my wife.
B
Me too.
C
Me too. Absolutely.
A
Okay, I think we can talk about this. Let's say, I mean, Claudia is a very famous public person. My wife is more. Obviously, is much more on the private side of things. But imagine, Claude, she's feeling herself. She wants to wear a similar thing out. How do you feel?
B
Yes. Great.
A
Really?
B
Honestly, Whatever. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care. Whatever she. Whatever she wants to wear, whenever, like, I. I am not. If anything, it's the opposite. I'm gonna leave the house wearing something. She's like, you look like a clown. Change and I'll change. No, I absolutely do not care at all. Not what she wears, perhaps. Perhaps that. Yeah.
A
But if. Guys, people were commenting a lot in. About her, you know, more, you know.
B
Her bits about her body.
C
Yeah.
B
Perhaps it's because she is not a revealing person that I feel this way. But I. I would like to think that I wouldn't care. Perhaps I would, though, and I just haven't been challenged to know that I would care. But as of right now, I wouldn't care. Whatever she wants to do, totally fine with me. I assume you're on the opposite side.
A
No, not at all. I. And I. I don't want it to sound like in any way a male giving a woman permission to dress anyway. Like, this is not a permiss, just an honest of, like, how would I feel totally.
B
If. If. If other people were commenting on your wife's body in a sexual way. That's. That's not a permission thing. Totally. I understand it.
A
And my answer is it would be lit. I'm down the clown, I think. Yeah, he's got it going on. And it. I would be like, you have three kids. They're going to see this one day. But no, I'd just be like, yo, feel yourself queen. And be like, go off.
B
Yeah, feel yourself.
A
Yeah, feel yourself queen. Is that the right way to be, Olivia?
D
Yeah, absolutely.
A
Okay. Please police our speech. Cause we don't always know what we're saying.
B
I was gonna say, I have no idea. Yeah, both of you. I have no idea.
D
Right answer.
B
Two minutes ago, we were talking about Mom, Donnie, and now we're talking about breasts. And before that we were talking about Glen Powell. We don't know what we're Talking about.
A
These are a few.
B
We don't even know where we are. Zoron. And boobies.
A
And boobies. Mom. Danny.
B
What would you do? What?
A
If Zoron was like, then I've heard your criticism, and I've taken it in, and I would like you to be part of my Jewish outreach team. I think you've got a great.
B
He literally found, like, four Jews that were living in this gutter to film this ad. My God, I have to send it to you. These rabbis. Holy Smokes was the worst video I've ever seen. They're like, we hate ourselves, but we love Zoran. Jews for Zoran. I'm like, can you stop it? But what I thought you were gonna say is. Yeah. No. Why. But I would. Because he doesn't know. But what I would. What I thought you were going to ask is if you wanted to meet and, like, talk. I would love to hear him out. Yeah, I would absolutely. Like. If he wanted to come on this podcast, I would love. As long as he was open and honest, I would love to be able to ask him some hard questions and feel him out. Because from afar, he seems like a complete bill of goods. Snake oil salesman selling New Yorkers down the river, telling people whatever they want to hear. Like, it's just.
A
Olivia.
B
The truth is, you guys aren't living through it. No, it's really tense times here. No, no, you. You can't unless you're here. It's really, really tense times here. I temper it down as far as I can because I get so heated about it. People are really scared, and, like, they. They. They really. They really think that their life. And I'm hoping that it's just. It's just not going to happen. I don't want to be serious. I don't want to be serious. Stop it, Josh. No, I can't.
A
Listen.
B
I can't. I don't want to. I don't want to be serious. I just want him. Mamdani's going to come in. Hopefully. He's great. He does Mamdani salami. We do a food collab. I pray that he's. I just hope that he's completely different than what. By the way, politicians do that all the time.

Lately, my kids have been getting into the classic Willy Wonka to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But like the proper good one with Gene Wilder, shout out to me. Shalom. No shade. And so they really love it. I have bought a Willy Wonka costume, and I'm going to surprise my whole family in a full Willy Wonka costume. And I think I want to do the entrance like Gene Wilder does in the movie where, like, I walk with the king and then the cane gets stuck and I do a full tumble. Can you imagine that?
B
I love it. You'll be a great Wonka. It's fantastic. I love it. And by the way, shout out Timothy Chalamet. I actually loved that movie. I don't know if I was in the minority. Angry Gene Wilder, definitely superior. But Timmy shall was. I liked that movie. I think I just like Wonka. Anything Wonka.
A
This is a fun game. This is a fun game. You know Gene Wilder's real. Let's ask Chachi pt. But I've seen it before. Here. Hi.
B
And then I'm going to tell you what me and Claudia are being.
A
Oh, yes. I want to hear. Will you please give me a list of actors who are Jewish who have had to change their original surnames to.
B
Something else with Wilder like Wolowitz or something?
A
It's good. It's okay. So Gene Wilder, his real name was Jerome Silberman. Jerome Silberman. That's hot.
B
I think he's the only Jew named Jerome. Jerome.
A
Head up to the bema.
B
There's no jews named jerome. Okay. Yes, there are. Who?
A
Jerome. Pass it to knock dog. That's hot. Jerome it.
B
By the way, I have nothing against the name Jerome. I just don't know any Jewish Jeromes. That's all I know. Yeah. Jerome Williams, basketball player. I don't know. I don't know any Jewish Jeromes.
A
Well, Woody Allen was Allen. Or is Allen Stewart Konigsberg. Alan Stewart. Konigsberg. John Stewart. Anyone want to take a swing?
B
John Stewart was John Schwartzman Leibowitz. Wow, that's interesting. Went from the Lebowitz to Stuart a little bit.
A
Winona Ryder. Winona. Anyone want to give a guess?
B
Winona Rivka is a Jerome.
A
Rivka.
D
That's a first name, though, right?
B
Winona Rivka. Jerome.
A
It's a first name. It's Winona Horowitz.
B
Oh, lovely.
A
Mm. Let's see who else. Natalie Portman.
B
Herzog. That I know her Schlag.
A
It says that.
B
I don't know.
A
It says her name is Neta.
B
I'm positive it's Shorts.
A
Netta Hershlag.
B
Wow. Wow, that's a strong name. Beautiful. That said, you can't be a. Can't be a famous actress named Netta Herschlag. So I'm happy that she. She Angloed for the. She Anglowed properly. Sometimes it's necessary. Not always, but sometimes it's necessary.
A
It's kind of hot.
B
Kind of smells like something's burning in here. So if all of a sudden my hair catches on fire and you see smoke, Josh, just let me know, okay?
A
Yeah, of course.
B
Yeah.
A
I wonder if there's any.
B
Smells like. Yeah, something's burning.
A
Whoa.
B
And I hear sirens.
A
Solid. Can you just tell them we have the president of Instagram coming? This is no time for a fire.
B
That's fine, Josh. It's fine. It'll be fine.
A
We'll see.
B
We get more views. We'll get so many views. If I burn to death on YouTube, like, what are we going to do for a follow up, Josh? You take the podcast. You run with it. Me and your father, you can do with me.
C
Me.
B
Oh, I love that. So much. More than me. AI. But if you want, it could be you and me, AI. It could be. And you get 100% of the money.
A
Ooh.
C
That's just.
B
I like that.
A
That I like.
B
I'm just saying.
C
Did you.
B
Did you set this fire?
A
Can you imagine me and Bruce Mazamoron would be.
B
The fact that you like, you must meet Bruce. You have no idea. Okay. This man last night, thank God, successful, he had a little mini surgery at his prostate trunk. Okay. He was peeing a little bit too much in the middle of the night. My uncle has had the same surgery as well. I guess the prostate, like, hits on the bladder and it makes you feel the need to pee. So he had it shrunk or constricted. He's doing great. You know where he's going next week, Josh?
A
Where?
B
The Live Method.
C
The Live Method.
B
He's getting in the gym, he's going to start working out. When I tell you this man has negative core. Negative core. Ok. Like he's Gumby. Negative core. The only reason he stands up straight is because there's steel rods up and down his back.
A
Yeah.
B
And he is Gumby with negative core. So I'm very excited to see what the great Matt at Live Method is able to do with him. My God, he's gonna be a fox.
A
Benjamin, I just hit a PR. Benjamin. I hit a personal record. Benji. I deadlifted 20 pounds. Benjamin, what was that thing you take? Kriya?
C
What now?
B
Oh, I forgot to tell you. He's taking creatine.
A
Of course he is, Benjamin. I'm on creatine.
B
I take it with my glucosamine right now. Every morning he takes his AG1 and his creatine. So if you momentous. I'm giving him the chews. I hope that's cool.
A
His prostate's fine. It's the AG one that's making him pitch. Oh.
B
Oh, my God.
A
Should we get to a speak pipe?
C
Yeah.
B
Or pipe it up more on.
A
Now, if you want to get advice from us, if you want us to answer your questions, go to speakpipe.com. good. Guys, keep it brief. Brevity's key. We don't want your woody nuts. They're not awesome. And don't ask us for travel tips when you go to California or la. Google them. Maybe we don't care. This one's from Anonymous.
E
What's up, Josh and Ben? Based on every single other caller you guys have, I. I assume I'm your only male listener, which I don't get. Like, I know you guys are both gay, but I assume you got at least one guy needing some advice.
B
Is that your own?
E
So with that, I'm in my mid-30s, a young kid, and it's entirely possible that he'll soon be old enough to be on social media and to see pictures of his dad at high school parties from, like 2010. Obviously, those have all been deleted, but the hypothetical still stands. So I was curious as to how you guys would approach that situation with your sons in the future. Josh, I know you've been very public about your non sober years. And Ben, I know you've discussed on this show, like, doing coke in a near bathroom or something. So in this new age, when your sons are old enough to possibly hear those things or see you guys speaking about them or to read your book, Josh, how do you think you guys are going to approach those discussions with your sons? Appreciate you guys.
B
Jerome Fisher, I think you meant drinking a Coke in a New York bathroom. That sounds much more like me. That said, you sound like a fantastic guy. Thank you for the wonderful speak pipe or moron mail? Speak pipe. It just. God, moron mail. Josh. I am totally good with it. You know, dad was cool. You were cool. Like, what do they want from you? Like, especially like on. On the sober end, like, it's you. You conquered something, and unbelievable. You climbed Kilimanjaro. Like, it's like the greatest in, like, at least from across the room. It's the greatest accomplishment ever.
C
And for me.
A
Yeah.
B
So a little coke. Like, what are you.
A
What.
B
What are we gonna do about it? Honestly?
A
Wow.
B
Okay.
A
So I booted some meth at Marquis.
B
So what? I put something up my ass and I don't know what it was. Who knows?
A
So dad did Poppers with Joey Kamasta. Live a little.
B
Live a little.
A
Who.
B
Who cares? We need Kamasta on the show asap. He just did the toast so good. Holy crap. He. He is so funny. Like, like, so, so funny and underappreciated. Joey Kamasta is the most underappreciated man of our time. Okay.
A
God, so funny.
B
Geniusly funny. And so quick. So quick. We got to have him on. I'll text him. He's too good next week.
A
I think that works well in general as far as my kids go. Like, the one thing is, is I don't know how you will be.
B
I'm.
A
I'm literally, and I'm not kidding, going to try to keep my kids off of a phone till they're 16. Like having a proper phone, they'll have maybe an iWatch with phone capabilities so that if they need to call me, if they need to call a family member, whatever, but I just don't. And I know what people are gonna say is while their friends and the people that they're that are in their lives are going to have social media and whatnot, and they're going to feel. Feel bad, but I don't care. Like, I don't think you can present me a world in which definitely before 14, where it benefits them definitely to have social media and in general, the phone.
B
I couldn't agree more. Claudi and I turned to each other in bed the other night, and we made a conscious effort to watch a movie without phones. And that felt. The fact that we needed to make that conscious effort is so sad and so scary. We watched a movie. I forget what movie we watched, but we watched it to completion. It wasn't that good. Otherwise I would have remembered it. And oh, it was Freakier Friday. It was whatever.
A
Let me put my phone down.
B
That's it.
A
That's it. James Elohan sequel.
B
That said, Josh, people will understand this. Jamie Lee Curtis and Sydney Sweeney have something in common. But. Yes, but. But honestly, Josh. But honestly, it made me feel so bad that I felt so much better about myself being able to put down my phone for a movie. Like, we are addicted. We're addicted to our phones. It's really, really bad. We get constant dopamine hits from apps like TikTok and Instagram. And if we were. If we were children, we need to be outside getting dopamine hits from running and playing and jumping and having friends and sunshine. And I'm a thousand percent on the same page. I don't know how we do this. They are going to be pissed. But maybe more parents do it. Maybe everybody does it. Like, it's not good. It's not good. It's too much. Too much stimulation.
A
Just cut to Ben and Claudia in bed watching Oppenheimer and they're like. And then cut to them watching Freakier Friday.
B
No, we were. No phones during Oppenheimer, Josh. Except when to take a picture of you pressing the button, obviously. Fair enough. Really important, you know, it was really important.
A
God bless you.

B
It is hilarious that our phones down movie was Freakier Friday. That is really dumb. That is really dumb. Like that's the ultimate phone movie.
A
Let's hear from anonymous.
D
Guys, I will keep it brief. Brevity is key.
B
I have said hi, gay guys in.
D
A relationship with a married man with children. He's about 10 years older than us and only a few of us know. No one in his life knows as far as I know. But it's been going on for a few months and I've noticed, I've started to kind of judge and distance myself from her. She knows I'm really against it, but I'm curious what you guys would do if you had a friend in this situation. So let me know. Love you guys. Thanks.
B
Spoken about this in the past and I know that it might sound harsh, but it is okay to grow apart from friends if you no longer can sort of see yourself in that friend. Like I would absolutely express the fact that this is something that you don't approve of. That it's something that makes you feel icky that like she, she shouldn't be. It just like it just doesn't sit right with you. But I, I don't think that you don't. We don't need to keep the same friends forever. And if you're opinions change of a person, of course you reach out, you try to solve it. But if you drift apart, I think you drift Apart again, sounds harsh, but I couldn't be friends with somebody that was, like, actively breaking up a marriage. It just wouldn't sit right with me, especially for somebody who's so monogamous. And if the shoe was on the other foot and somebody was cheating with my wife, like, how awful that would make me feel. So at least for me, it's like a. That's like one where if you're. If you're willing to do something like that, then just makes me question your morals as a person. And I don't need friends that are like that, you know?
A
Yeah. I think I totally agree with the sentiment of what you're saying. I think as you get older, life is unfortunately just context and nuance. And sometimes you hear about, like, somebody will be in a relationship with someone who's. They're in a loveless marriage, but they're together for the kids and blah, blah, blah. Not. Doesn't make it okay. But I've certainly heard of it. But I totally agree with you, Ben, which is like, you don't have to co sign bad behavior, and if it feels icky to you and it doesn't feel right, like, you can just sort of lovingly detach and either they'll get over it and you guys will come back together, or they'll completely sort of commit to that person, and then it's just not right. But I think you can totally protect yourself. You do not have to root on friends and co sign their bad behavior if it doesn't. If you know that it's. It's not the right thing.
B
But of course you should get all of the information. You should have a conversation first. I completely agree that if this person is in a loveless marriage and they have an agreement and the wife is also seeing somebody on the side, there are. There are specific instances.
A
Yeah.
B
Where I wouldn't question a person's morality, but 99% of the time, I think it won't be that situation. I could be wrong. But regardless, have a conversation with your friend. Don't. Don't judge them until you have to judge them. And then feel free to judge them.
A
Yeah. And also don't be righteous about it. Don't be like. Because it could be you on the chopping block next. Like, that's the beautiful thing about life is that totally, you know, there could be a moment where you're like, wow, this was not in my character, but hey, shit happened. So I wouldn't be. I would just, like, lovingly detach and if that person give them the dignity of their own experience. And if they come to find out it wasn't right for them, welcome them back with loving arms. But, like, certainly don't make them feel bad or, like, hold it over them that you're casting judgment.
B
No, no, it's not your place to do that. I absolutely hate when people do that. Like, it's not your business, but that doesn't mean to what you said that you have to co sign bad behavior and just sit through it.
A
Right.
B
But no, it's not your job to reprimand. Not your job.
A
I have a buddy who's just a scumbag and like, But I can appreciate a good scumbag if their hustle is only affecting, like, the US Government or whatever. No, but, like, what I cannot stand is that he's a hypocrite, right? So he's ultra critical of people. And when. When people, he. He like, actively defrauds and, like, it's not a crime if he does it. If he finds some, like, little sly angle in which to, like, save a little on taxes or commit a little insurance fraud. But, like, if anyone commits, like, a socioeconomic crime of like, stealing from a store or like, what he considers lower level crimes, it's like, he is the most judgmental. And I'm like, dog, get over it, bro. You are breaking the law all the time.
B
Yeah, it's. Don't throw stones in glass houses. It's like the worst. Yeah, the worst. Like, just. Just keep it to yourself, man. No good.
A
And then there's. And then there's the two of us. We're just so. We're so honest. Too honest.
B
We're too on. We're too honest, Josh. Yeah, we're too honest.
A
I call the government sometimes.
B
They go, you need anything? No, I'm kidding.
A
Do you.
B
Do you know, Josh, last week I overpaid my American Express bill by three grand. I have a credit with Amex.
A
Thank God they're on.
B
This is not nice. This is. This is not.
A
This is.
B
No, it's too good. Josh, nobody wants a credit with a credit card company. It's the. It's the other way around.
A
You'll use it. You'll use it for sure.
B
Oh, yeah. Really quick, too. My God.
A
What about. Okay, one more from. I guess maybe we should get into Woody and Nuts.
C
Our.
A
What do you Nuts Moment of the week are gripes with people, places and things both big and tall. Whatever is sticking in your craw.
B
We need Woody Nuts to be sponsored by Rochester. Okay, that would be hot. We need it. That would be hot. I'll go. The other night, Josh, I had a sweet tooth, okay. But I'm trying not to, like, eat traditional candies. So I went on Gopuff and I saw Fruit Riot, which I happen to love, you know, before. Absolutely fantastic. I put you on your daddy Fruit Riot.
C
You did.
B
You did actually put me on. And they have wonderful, colorful ads that are on, like, buses and stuff. And I saw it and I was just like, this is for me. I love, like, a true fru. This is like candy coated grapes. Those are like, chocolate covered raspberries.
C
Whatever.
B
I. I love. I love the Fruit Riot. Okay? So I'm ordering it on Gopuff, put in a relatively big order, couple of different flavors, some body armor, light. And I hit go. Maybe, I don't know, 45 minutes later, I'm like, where's my Gopuff order? And I get a text, Josh, from Jonah Platt, saying, you should see a dentist. And I'm like, what do you mean I should see a dentist? He's like, did you send a bunch of candy to my house? I'm like, oh, my God. What are you nuts? I sent him. I had sent him Spritz Society for a Shabbat dinner that he was having. And he was the last address that I had put into my Gopuff in L. A. And I got back home to New York. I forgot to change it. So I sent all this Fruit Riot to his house. It was so unbelievably funny. And it's just like, what are you, nuts? Check your address. Like, and then I had to place it again. So I paid. I paid double for the Fruit Riot. It's a riot. What are you, nuts?
A
That's nutty. I've done that. My mom does that a lot where she'll send us Amazon packages because she'll send the kids, like, toys, and then she'll accidentally send herself what. What she was ordering to us. I told you this. She sent me nipple covers.
B
You did, bro.
A
He's like, olivia, can you believe that?
B
No, I just. I want. I want to know more, but I also don't want to know more, but I want to know more.
A
I was like, is there a gala at the assisted living? What's going on? Like, are you wearing a sequins gown to Dunkin Donuts?
B
Like, what's happening?
A
My God. But shout out, mom, she's the best.
B
That's so funny. This is a.
A
This is a positive. What are you, nuts? I think we forget that there was a time where There was a band called the Black Eyed Peas, and they were arguably the greatest band to ever live.
B
I didn't know where you were going with this, Josh. I. I take no Black eyed peace slander. I'm happy that I thought you were like, black Eyed people Peas or. What are you doing? So like. Are you kidding me?
A
They are so. I was listening to the song. I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night.
B
Okay, so good.
A
And I don't know what was going on, but I was really tuned into the song listening to it at the supermarket. And there's that great inclusive line. Fill up my cup. Mazel tov.
B
Mazel tov.
C
Time.
A
That's my. What are you nuts? Is. I've. I always knew they said mazel tov, but if you really listen, I am.
B
I don't know if it was Will.
A
I Am or some of the other members who done it or go see it or not me, I don't know what these guys names are.
B
No, Will I Am. His real name is Jerome.
A
Jerome.
B
He's Jewish. He Anglo'd.
A
I just could. It's very. It's low and it's like, fill up my cup. Mazel tov.
B
Mazel tov. L'. Chaim. So good. The best. No, they, by the way, they knew what they were doing. They knew they were making the bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah song of the century.
A
You're so right. You are so right.
B
They knew it. They're like, if we just like, throw in a little Easter egg for the Jews, they're going to play it at every event. We need to do that, Josh. We need to do that. We need to write a song. I don't know. I don't know where this is going, but we need to write a song and we need to pick another nationality. Maybe it's for indie, maybe it's for India.
C
Yeah.
B
Okay, back to Bollywood. I think that's in our. In the cards. Will, I am. They're fantastic.
A
Hold on, let me look at Black Eyed Peas.
B
Unbelievable.
A
How we say cheers in Urdu.
C
Yes. Great.
A
Cheers in Indian culture.

In this lively episode, Josh and Ben riff on everything from religion and pop culture to snacks, social media, and moral dilemmas. The title, "Jews for Jesus," is only the jumping-off point for a freewheeling, humorous conversation about fringe religious movements, celebrity sex appeal, American versus global fame, ethical friendships, parental anxieties in the age of social media, and, as always, an abundance of tangents, bits, and personal stories. Listeners are treated to the classic Good Guys blend of jokes, heartfelt moments, and candid takes.
