Joey (0:56)

I do it on my stomach from. I. I go from either side, so I don't want scar tissue. But mine's pink, and it's like. Because it has B vitamins in it.

Ben (1:03)

Interesting. Okay.

Joey (1:04)

You're getting compounded.

Ben (1:05)

You get it from the streets, basically.

Joey (1:07)

I get it from a dermatologist that gave me Botox once.

Ben (1:09)

Oh, okay. All right. That's good. The only.

Joey (1:11)

Yeah.

Ben (1:11)

Pink.

Josh Peck (1:12)

Oh.

Ben (1:12)

Because the B vitamins, I thought it spoiled.

Joey (1:14)

I thought it turned. Yeah. I don't know.

Ben (1:16)

I always feel like when you pick up, like, a pink vitamin water, and they claim that Vitamin water. Coconut water, and they claim that it's young coconut. I just think it's just bad.

Joey (1:22)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (1:23)

Sounds like a rapper.

Ben (1:23)

That's a young pink coconut.

Josh Peck (1:25)

A Barbados wrapper.

Ben (1:26)

Yeah. I've never seen a pink coconut. They're lying. I think the same thing. They're lying to you, Joe.

Joey (1:30)

Zoe.

Ben (1:31)

They're lying to you.

Josh Peck (1:32)

You get, like. Do you take that deep breath with the injection of just.

Joey (1:35)

I love it.

Ben (1:35)

You do.

Joey (1:36)

I'm a medical queen. I get off. I love, like. I love going to the doctor. I think it's more for the attention. Like, you know, when you had a band aid on. When you put a fake band aid on when you're a kid, just for attention, like, oh, I gotta cut. I have that. But, like, with, you know, with surgeries, medical, you know, medical malpractice on my part.

Ben (1:51)

I spent a lot of time in the nurse's office in elementary school. I love the splint. Who doesn't love a splint? You know, you go Back, two fingers taped together.

Joey (1:59)

Yep.

Ben (1:59)

It's fantastic.

Joey (2:00)

It's like you went to war.

Josh Peck (2:01)

When I was a kid, if someone. I broke both arms, so I had splints ready to go, but, you know.

Joey (2:07)

My arms healed at the same time.

Ben (2:09)

Tell Jo the story of you falling out of the window.

Joey (2:11)

Were you doing a death drop mama on the dance floor?

Josh Peck (2:15)

I was nine years old before she.

Joey (2:17)

Was a seasoned queen.

Josh Peck (2:20)

Doing my death drop.

Ben (2:21)

I was.

Josh Peck (2:22)

What was my drag name? Delta Variant. I was at the McBurney YMCA at my school. Had like an after school program. Cause I went to school right here at PS 40 on 20th Street. And I was like, trying to look through a window and I fell out of the window.

Joey (2:38)

You're being nosy. Yeah, she was a nosy queen.

Josh Peck (2:40)

Nosy queen fell on my arm.

Joey (2:42)

A yenta looking out the window for drama. Yeah, looking, looking.

Josh Peck (2:45)

They brought me to Bellevue. Right. For the crazies.

Joey (2:47)

That's what I always said. I always know Bellevue is like, that's the insane asylum. Yes. Yeah. But they also do. They also do Brick and bones.

Ben (2:53)

Apparently they're good.

Josh Peck (2:54)

I think it's a good hospital now. In the early 90s, it was not.

Joey (2:57)

It's on the highway, right?

Josh Peck (2:58)

Yeah.

Joey (2:58)

But when I go to Costco, it's also beautiful.

Ben (3:00)

Like, it's better than Costco.

Joey (3:01)

Nothing. Especially one uptown.

Ben (3:03)

Unbelievable. But you actually go. I just do it.

Joey (3:05)

I don't do it anyway. I do an Instacart nowadays.

Ben (3:07)

Yeah.

Joey (3:07)

Yeah. You know, they won't get you the candles. They won't. They want you the housewares as much as, like, if you want towels and sheets and like all the other things, they don't go. It's mostly for groceries. So I will have to go and pick out my own candles. But sometimes you can, like.

Ben (3:16)

They don't put that on Instacart.

Joey (3:18)

It's not on there. But you can tell them. Like, I can talk my Instacart person and be like, listen, I know they're over there. Just go to third row on the shelf and just grab them for me.

Ben (3:24)

And is it more expensive when you shop on instacart versus store? Right.

Joey (3:28)

Yeah. I'm sure you ate them at some point.

Ben (3:30)

Wow, that is some engine.

Josh Peck (3:31)

Will they swing by the food court for you and maybe bring you, like. I've never tried double chocolate chunk cookie or something.

Joey (3:36)

Are you friends with those guys?

Ben (3:38)

No, but Jackie had her. Like, when Claude was out, Jackie had the dad on the pod. And that was quite.

Joey (3:43)

I thought they ran into him like at a Store.

Ben (3:46)

They also ran into him. He's just everywhere. They're everywhere.

Josh Peck (3:49)

Are they in Florida?

Ben (3:50)

They're in Florida, yeah. In Florida, Yeah. The Costco guys are in Florida.

Josh Peck (3:53)

Taxes on all that boom money.

Ben (3:54)

My God. We bring that one.

Joey (3:56)

Is that what's going on over there? That's Florida. Yeah.

Ben (3:59)

Yeah. You pay 12% less tax than you pay here.

Joey (4:02)

Tax for what, though? If you buy something, income tax, whatever.

Ben (4:05)

Money you make, you keep 12% more by living in Florida.

Joey (4:10)

Even if you earned it other places.

Ben (4:12)

Yes. You're going to earn it anywhere, wherever you live.

Joey (4:15)

So you don't have to own it there. You can just. I could just rent a. Rent a flat.

Ben (4:17)

You can rent a flat there. You would have to spend over 181 days. You have to spend your time.

Joey (4:22)

That's my partner that my old boss used to. Not only allowed in New York for. Exactly.

Ben (4:27)

He lives there. Yeah. Because when you're making like him, I don't know how much he's making. Let's say it's not $20 million.

Joey (4:33)

Not more than us.

Ben (4:34)

No, not more than us.

Josh Peck (4:35)

We're making not more than giggly squad.

Ben (4:36)

Yeah, he's saving, I don't know, an extra 3 million bucks.

Joey (4:40)

I think all those rich people don't pay taxes anyway.

Ben (4:43)

No, they do. Oh, they do. They absolutely do. Well, I think they can write off a lot of things so their net taxes are less.

Josh Peck (4:49)

But it's why the.

Ben (4:50)

They pay taxes.

Josh Peck (4:50)

It's why the Pauls are in Puerto Rico. They're Puerto Ricans.

Ben (4:53)

Yeah.

Joey (4:53)

Oh, that same applies in Puerto Rico. Better Puerto Rico.

Josh Peck (4:56)

No taxation without representation. They don't have elected officials that represent them in Congress and. Or the Senate. Thus no taxes, nothing.

Joey (5:04)

Do they have free like pharmacies there? We can walk in and buy any pills you want or Is that Mexico?

Ben (5:08)

I think that's Mexico.

Joey (5:09)

I got to go back down there.

Ben (5:10)

For better than a Mexican airport.

Joey (5:12)

Oh, nothing. I mean I. I want to go back down there for a hall. What are we getting?

Josh Peck (5:15)

Let's do a little cyber Monday gift. I have every.

Joey (5:17)

I'm lucky enough to. To have a shady doctor so I can get anything I. I need, I would need. But if I was going there, I'd probably get like anything like the youthful things. Like I'd probably get like Botox if they're selling that by the Latisse.

Ben (5:29)

Do they sell. I'm sure if you've done your own Botox.

Joey (5:32)

I haven't, but I could just bring it to like, you know, I'm sure I'm an injector queen. Sure, I'm sure. I can figure it out. Sure. Yeah.

Ben (5:37)

Would you inject Botox in me? Where do I need Botox?

Joey (5:40)

You never had it.

Ben (5:40)

Yeah, no, I never had it.

Joey (5:41)

You don't need it here. They can't do that. Believe it or not. You want filler for like to fill under the eyes, but it's such a taboo subject. Tired.

Josh Peck (5:48)

But I had a blepharoplasty, so.

Joey (5:50)

You did?

Josh Peck (5:51)

I did, hun. I needed it.

Joey (5:53)

Bad. On top or bottom?

Josh Peck (5:54)

Bottom.

Joey (5:55)

Bottom left.

Josh Peck (5:56)

Bottom left.

Ben (5:57)

And his eyes look fantastic.

Joey (5:58)

I know. You're so. You are so hot.

Ben (6:01)

What color are those eyes? Green.

Joey (6:03)

We have the same color eyes, I think.

Ben (6:04)

I think yours are more on the blue side.

Joey (6:05)

Blue, Green.

Ben (6:06)

They're nice. Very nice color, your eyes.

Joey (6:08)

Blue. Green.

Ben (6:09)

My God, it's your hat. I can't even see.

Joey (6:12)

That's why a lot. That's why I get. Everyone thinks I'm Jewish because we have similar coloring. You don't see it. You don't see like a mutt with green eyes like I have.

Ben (6:20)

I mean, you would J. Crew model. Nobody's ever. You look fantastic.

Joey (6:23)

Well, you know, I. I live in. I lived in Paris for so long. It's like. And I came back here. It's just like. It's our lifestyle, the way we live there. It's just how we carry ourselves.

Josh Peck (6:29)

Tell us about your Parisian trip with your beautiful boyfriend.

Joey (6:32)

Oh, thank you. Yeah, we had the best time in our life. You've been to Paris?

Ben (6:35)

No.

Joey (6:35)

Oh, you haven't?

Ben (6:36)

No.

Josh Peck (6:36)

Oh.

Joey (6:36)

So I'm sorry, I'm speaking the language. I'll. I'll speak slower. It's just, you know, I've been all over, you know, Europe a bunch of times. I got to say, it's the. It's the classiest, chicest one yet. I said it makes. It makes Italy look like, like slums of place.

Ben (6:52)

The slums.

Joey (6:53)

Not all of it. I'm not saying Italy's Islam, but this is just like so much more like the homeless people. I was telling Claudia the other day, the home, there's homeless men drinking champagne in. In a paper cup.

Ben (7:01)

That's fantastic.

Joey (7:02)

With like, they had a dog. It was like two homeless guys hanging out, smoking. They had packs of cigarettes and they were just like pouring sh. Pouring it up. I was like, I'll be a homeless person.

Ben (7:09)

And people are smoking all over.

Joey (7:11)

I smoked. I chain smoked all time. I'm not a smoker. I mean, I'll vape when I'm Drunk, but, you know, but I'll like. I would never, like, pick up a cigarette during the day, but now I can't even have my coffee without them.

Ben (7:19)

And it's those nice, slim, long ones. Right.

Joey (7:21)

Well, you know, I didn't know what they were, and I just. I just mumbled the name of the cigarette, like, pointed and mumbled. And then whatever they gave me, I got. Because, I don't know, like, everything. Nothing has branding there. So if you're looking for cigarettes, it's all the same black packaging with a woman coughing blood up into her napkin. I love those. Yeah.

Ben (7:36)

They honestly make me want to smoke more.

Joey (7:37)

I had that one, and I had a husband and wife, like, all cuddling, and then I had her standing over his casket. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they. They will just. So I like to. I like the cask of husband casket cigarettes better than the coughing blood cigarette. I don't know what the names were.

Ben (7:48)

Yeah, know.

Joey (7:48)

That's good. So you never know what you're getting with it. But I just buy them, and it's just. It's just a thing. Like, you sit in a cafe all day long. So you know how like, in. In New York or the U.S. if you're out, the outdoor seating, it's facing each other like this there. It's not. Everything's so performative there. So, like, everyone's sitting like an audience. Like, you would sit this way. So everyone's watching the street. So you all, like. You're all. Backs are all to the building.

Ben (8:08)

Oh, you're side by side.

Joey (8:09)

Yeah. And everywhere.

Ben (8:10)

Interesting.

Joey (8:10)

Everywhere. So everyone's like, almost like an audience going out. So I had to perform the whole time. That's why I was carrying leaks around in my handbag.

Ben (8:15)

Got it, Got it. Just so everybody knew that you were native.

Joey (8:18)

Yes. And then you just drink. I drink coffees and just drink champagne and red wine and eat snails and. Yeah. Fries. Escargot. That's good.

Ben (8:27)

How was the French onion soup?

Joey (8:28)

It was to die for.

Ben (8:29)

That looked amazing.

Joey (8:30)

Everywhere I went.

Ben (8:31)

And that ham and cheese sandwich. Oh, that looked unbelievable. Do you have that and that baguette? No, but I can have the baguette and I can have the cheese.

Joey (8:37)

Do you eat that? I have a feeling that you eat things behind closed doors, but when the Lord's. The Lord turns his eye.

Ben (8:41)

Absolutely. Not ham and not shellfish. Yeah, but, yeah, like, that's me and Josh. I'll get him to eat a little.

Josh Peck (8:46)

Calamari at Carbone if I get him nice.

Joey (8:48)

And sauce. Can I say That I think about you all the time. Because you're my only, like, close friend that keeps kosher. I know kosher people exist everywhere. But, like, you're one of the only close friends I have. So I'm making. Every time I cook something, I always. And I swear on my life, I think about, like, literally every day. If I. When I'm cooking something, if I add something, I'm like, wait, does this mean Josh can't have it? I was like. So I was making beef bourguignon the other day and I added a pat of butter to it. Is that sack religious?

Ben (9:11)

Yes, but it's too good. Joey, there aren't.

Josh Peck (9:14)

Doesn't stop you. You eat that.

Joey (9:16)

No, no, no.

Ben (9:16)

I'll definitely eat it.

Joey (9:17)

I feel like.

Ben (9:18)

But I'd rather not. Like, if I could. If I could. If something can be made just as good without it, I will opt not to have it.

Josh Peck (9:27)

Sure.

Ben (9:27)

I just made a Thanksgiving turkey.

Joey (9:29)

I saw. Lovely bird.

Ben (9:30)

And let me know. I rubbed that bitch and butter top to bottom.

Joey (9:34)

You gotta dry it off, otherwise it won't stick. Of course, I was slipping and sliding all over the titties.

Ben (9:38)

Oh, no, no, no. I patted her dry and then gave her a deep tissue massage with that beautiful butter, that herb buttery.

Joey (9:44)

Oh, so that's allowed because it's a bird. It's not allowed.

Ben (9:46)

It's not allowed. Technically, it's not allowed. Technically, it's not allowed.

Joey (9:49)

But birds don't have milk.

Ben (9:51)

I know. It's actually, if we want to really get into it. Yeah, let's do it. The reason the main meat and milk is a mother's.

Joey (10:00)

The mother. Okay.

Ben (10:02)

The cow makes the milk. You're not supposed to mix the cow meat.

Josh Peck (10:06)

Don't bathe.

Joey (10:08)

Circle of life, essentially.

Ben (10:10)

Now the rabbis got together and they said, if Joey is eating a turkey burger with cheese and somebody walks by the window and sees him eating a turkey burger with cheese they could think that he was eating a beef burger. Beef burger with cheese. And he might give the impression to somebody that that was.

Joey (10:28)

Okay, that's enough for me. So they just said, that's enough for me.

Ben (10:30)

To any turkey, any chicken. And.

Joey (10:33)

And is that united? Is that a united thing across the board? Everyone knows that. That. That was like. It was like they were just being polite about it, just in case. Oh, then all bets are off. I'm eating dummy. I'm eating chicken parm every day.

Ben (10:43)

You should be eating chicken parm every day. We should, Joey. We absolutely should. But, yeah, rub it. I think I read online I didn't make this. I read that you could use Earth Balance like a vegan butter and it would taste just as good as.

Josh Peck (10:53)

I don't buy my wife's vegan.

Joey (10:55)

You like vegan butter? Balance is good. Yeah.

Josh Peck (10:58)

You can do. You can find a lot of replacements.

Ben (11:00)

Is there a difference between an Earth Balance and a margarine? Like, are they not just oil?

Joey (11:04)

It is what I was about. Margarine is just, like, you know, shittier seed oils. And I think that Earth Balance is, like, made with, like, higher, like, avocado oil.

Ben (11:10)

Are you avoiding seed oils?

Joey (11:11)

I am not. But I do like to. You know, I'm a performance artist first and foremost, so I do like to, like, do things for attention. I mean, I don't keep seed oils in the home. But if it's. If I. If something happens, if I see it around, like, you know, I fry an avocado oil or. And, you know, olive oil, avocado oil and ghee.

Ben (11:28)

Ghee.

Joey (11:28)

Can you have ghee? Sure.

Josh Peck (11:29)

Clarified butter.

Joey (11:30)

But that's. It has. I don't know. What is it? Clarified butter.

Josh Peck (11:33)

It's breaking. Kosher.

Ben (11:35)

But what's in ghee?

Joey (11:36)

It's just butter that's with all the milk solids removed. So you basically boil it and then scrape out all the.

Josh Peck (11:41)

In cooking.

Ben (11:41)

Sounds delicious.

Josh Peck (11:42)

You never had a little.

Ben (11:43)

I don't think I've had.

Joey (11:44)

Ever had ghee.

Ben (11:45)

I should have brought ghee.

Joey (11:46)

Oh, it's high smoke point. Mama Go ghee. It's delicious. It's in. And a lot of people use it because it's an alternate. I don't know. It's just like. It has. It's like butter will burn. This won't burn. It has a higher smoke point than all these different oils. Ghee.

Ben (11:58)

G H E E. Wow, that's fantastic. I gotta try ghee. Speaking of high smoke point and burning. No, we are. But this is what I love. We love it. We're all over the place.

Joey (12:06)

Chaotic.

Ben (12:06)

You can't just put butter in a pan. A little oil and butter. Otherwise your butter burns.

Joey (12:10)

Right, Right.

Ben (12:10)

You gotta mix it together. Mix your vegetables. You know, Joey's a culinary queen.

Joey (12:14)

Listen, so are you. And so is our fathers. Both our fathers.

Ben (12:17)

Your father too.

Joey (12:17)

I told my father's a chef. CIA. CIA graduate.

Josh Peck (12:21)

Culinarians.

Joey (12:22)

It's America.

Ben (12:23)

See, this is what it is. We found our way back home.

Joey (12:26)

I know, Joey. That's right. We're gonna start doing more in the kitchen.

Josh Peck (12:29)

We do.

Joey (12:30)

We do. We have a new kitchen.

Josh Peck (12:31)

Who are you guys? Culinary Heroes. Is it Aina? Is it Martha? Is it Bourdain?

Joey (12:38)

You know, I love all those people, but I, you know, people. I think the people like that I watched and got most inspiration for. It's like, Ina. Yes. But it's more about her lifestyle and how she lives and presents herself and her ideals. I'm not, like, looking at every recipe like, oh, my God, this is the best, best version of this recipe. I can never compare it to it.

Josh Peck (12:55)

Like, you. Your end game is you in a denim tarp in a beautiful home in the Hamptons with.

Joey (13:00)

Yeah. With a.

Josh Peck (13:01)

With the Jeffrey.

Joey (13:02)

Yeah.

Ben (13:02)

Yeah, same. How easy is that?

Joey (13:04)

I know. Oh, you know, you're very close with her.

Ben (13:06)

I love her. I'm close with her in my heart.

Joey (13:08)

I saw a hydrangea from her. From her fence in East Hampton.

Ben (13:11)

I did hear this. Yeah.

Josh Peck (13:13)

She must have a compound.

Joey (13:14)

Yeah. She bought, like, two houses and, like, glued them together. It's like it. Yeah, because it's like a whole. The whole block, like, from the street to, like, the middle of the block.

Ben (13:22)

But she doesn't live at the barn.

Joey (13:23)

I don't know.

Ben (13:24)

I don't think so.

Josh Peck (13:24)

No.

Joey (13:25)

She lives in East Hampton full time.

Ben (13:26)

Yeah, I think so.

Josh Peck (13:27)

No. She probably has a separate shooting house.

Joey (13:29)

Yes.

Josh Peck (13:30)

And then, like, Streisand has three houses in Point Doom, and she has a.

Joey (13:35)

Shopping mall in her basement.

Josh Peck (13:36)

She has a doll shop in her house.

Joey (13:38)

Yeah. Shopping mall in her house. What's gayer than that? And scareding your own boutique in home. Boutique.

Josh Peck (13:45)

She talked about, like, she literally is a compound with a doll shop, and she has one room that James Brolin's allowed to have, and she goes. I try not to go in there. There's sawdust everywhere.

Joey (13:56)

She has a gift wrapping boutique.

Josh Peck (13:58)

It kills her that Brolin has one place, like, one man.

Joey (14:01)

Is that her husband?

Ben (14:02)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (14:02)

James.

Joey (14:02)

I never knew that about her. I. I think she's so major that, like, she, like, she overshines everything.

Josh Peck (14:06)

Josh Brolin's father.

Joey (14:08)

Oh, I know. She had kids either.

Josh Peck (14:09)

Well, it's not Josh Brolin's not her.

Joey (14:11)

Kid, but they got.

Josh Peck (14:12)

It was her. Look how much I know, by the way.

Ben (14:15)

A lot.

Josh Peck (14:15)

She was married to Elliott Gould, the great actor. Elliott Gould.

Joey (14:19)

Oh, Ellie Gould's mother.

Josh Peck (14:21)

And then. No, no, no. Elliott Gould was her husband.

Joey (14:23)

Isn't there a singer named Ellie Gould?

Ben (14:25)

Now you're thinking of Ellie Goulding. Ellie Goulding.

Josh Peck (14:29)

It's like her third marriage. But his kid is Josh Brolin. You must love Josh Brolin.

Joey (14:34)

I'm thinking Josh Groban.

Josh Peck (14:36)

Josh Groban.

Joey (14:37)

Josh Brolin.

Josh Peck (14:38)

Josh Brolin.

Joey (14:39)

I don't think I know her.

Josh Peck (14:40)

No, stop.

Joey (14:41)

I don't know her.

Ben (14:41)

I don't know her either, but I know Josh Groban. And while Josh looks this up when I am down, and oh, my soul, I'd hit it.

Josh Peck (14:52)

You don't know Josh Brolin?

Joey (14:53)

No, but he's. He's a major. How old's the father if he's that old?

Josh Peck (14:59)

Father's in his. Probably in his 80s, but they're not. They're. It's like their third marriage. Josh Brolin.

Ben (15:05)

I know him. You know him?

Joey (15:07)

I just noticed him.

Ben (15:08)

You know him.

Josh Peck (15:08)

This is a major movie star.

Joey (15:10)

You know him.

Ben (15:10)

Okay, so they're so married to Streisand.

Josh Peck (15:13)

No, no, he's not married. His father.

Ben (15:15)

His father. Okay.

Josh Peck (15:16)

Of course.

Ben (15:16)

No, that's okay.

Josh Peck (15:17)

No, it's like they were talking about a photo booth. When are you done? Yeah, right.

Ben (15:47)

It sounded aggressive. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Caraway. Folks. You know, we love caraway here at the Good Guys Podcast. You know, we use caraway in suffer and peck households. That's because we do a lot of cooking in their household. They do a lot of vegan cooking. Now, I'm not clowning on vegan cooking. I was just stating that they do a lot of vegan cooking. Perhaps we should do a little bit more vegan cooking. That said, first, I need to get my wife to try, like, normal food before I then send her on the vegan journey. Why am I blaming her? I don't want to be vegan. I have this problem where I blame my wife for things. I'm going to stop doing that. Okay, Carrot, back to Carrie. Let me tell you, folks, I made the most delicious brownie pudding yesterday, okay? Famous recipe. I'm not going to name who it is because, I don't know, maybe she doesn't want me to say her name. Most famous brownie pudding. Literally. Google brownie pudding. It will come up. You will know exactly who it is. And let me tell you oh my God. This brownie pudding. Out of this world and only out of this world because I made it in caraway pans. These pans, unbelievable. Pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, you name it. Caraway has absolutely everything you need, every and most importantly in a non toxic gorgeous color. Let me tell you a couple of stats, okay? They're a little bit spooky, but you know, you should know them, okay? Knowledge is power. The average adult unknowingly consumes over 150,000 plastic particles every year. What are you nuts? Over 70% of cooking and baking pans sold in America are coated with PTFes. Two and a half minutes is all it takes for a PTFE coated pan to overheat and begin releasing toxins. And microwaving plastic for just three minutes can release over 4 million microplastics. Now, I'm not going to be the microplastic police, okay? But let me tell you, if you can eliminate one thing I've heard, if you just stop microwaving plastic, you're off to a good start. And caraway has beautiful items that you can put in the microwave that are safe, that aren't plastic.

Josh Peck (20:20)

So do you see your life in France like, if you.

Joey (20:23)

I didn't think that, but I can definitely see it. Like, I got to find, you know how you guys are going to. To Florida to avoid taxes. I want to go to Paris to just. Just to pay more tax. To pay more tax. I just want to be able to live there. I don't know how to do it.

Ben (20:34)

Do we even know the tax rates in Paris? But probably lower than here. They're probably lower than here. I don't know exactly what they are.

Joey (20:39)

Then your wife told me, I spent. I spent all this money on like skin care and buying all this shit. Like. Like an animal. I was shopping like an animal. I bought all new wardrobe, all this shit. And I know that you can go to the airport and there's a place you can get like money. Not duty free. No.

Ben (20:51)

Oh, yeah.

Joey (20:53)

That tax. I had no idea.

Ben (20:54)

You get it all back in cash, too. They give it back.

Joey (20:56)

I was trying to cash at the airport. I was trying to be discreet. I didn't want to say I bought anything because then the. I said they're going to tax me on buying stuff, but it's the opposite.

Ben (21:03)

They're giving it back to you next fat tax, next trip.

Joey (21:06)

And I was. I was too scared to bring back cheese in my backpack. I was. I was going to set it like bricks. Like. Like kilos of drugs. Like.

Ben (21:11)

Yeah. Of parmesan. Like a wheel.

Joey (21:13)

Yeah. Yeah.

Ben (21:14)

How much does a wheel of palm go for? For these days?

Josh Peck (21:16)

Thousands.

Ben (21:17)

Right.

Joey (21:17)

I think it's maybe like 1500, I would say cheap, I'm not sure. But I can see myself living. I just gotta find a loophole on how to live there. I know if you, like, you work there, you can get like a visa, but I work on the phone, so it's like, can I just be like, say I have to work here because I'm doing a vlog on escargot this week.

Ben (21:32)

You could love it.

Joey (21:33)

I need. I need an immigration lawyer. If anyone's watching.

Ben (21:36)

We definitely have.

Joey (21:37)

And I also need someone to let me have, like, give me an apartment for free there. A flat.

Ben (21:41)

That might be. That might be harder.

Josh Peck (21:43)

But I love what you said when you were in Paris, because I found this to be true too. A, it's the chicest place. And B, Parisians are not rude. If you're not a schmucky American.

Joey (21:51)

Yes.

Josh Peck (21:52)

And if you try to speak a little French, they're like. Like, I'd be like, bonjour, kiss. Could say. They'd be like, no problem. Come here. Shut up.

Joey (21:59)

Yeah, yeah, they know. It's. It's a respect type thing. Yeah.

Josh Peck (22:02)

They just.

Ben (22:02)

That's pretty good French.

Joey (22:03)

Yeah. Like, if you don't walk into a gay bar and say, what's up, faggot? They're not going to. They're not going to welcome you.

Josh Peck (22:09)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that at high school.

Joey (22:11)

I know. I learned that on Drake and Josh.

Ben (22:13)

Believe it or not.

Josh Peck (22:14)

I was just thrown around on Drake and Josh.

Joey (22:16)

That was a cut. That was on the cutting room floor. That scene.

Ben (22:18)

Yeah.

Joey (22:19)

Wait, so you guys are a big time podcast now?

Ben (22:22)

Yeah, we are.

Joey (22:22)

You had some really big guests recently.

Ben (22:24)

I have.

Joey (22:25)

Was it Kathy Griffin?

Ben (22:26)

None bigger than you, but yes, we had Kathy Griffin.

Joey (22:27)

Now you asked her about Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. Did you ask about me? I don't know her. I'm only kidding.

Ben (22:33)

Oh. I was like, what do you have with Kathy?

Joey (22:35)

And did you have. I'm thinking, was Uncle Jesse on the Podcast.

Ben (22:39)

Of course. It's Josh's bestie.

Joey (22:41)

Did you work together?

Josh Peck (22:42)

We did.

Joey (22:43)

I know.

Josh Peck (22:44)

We did a show called Grandfathered where I played his son, which I wish I could tell 15 year old Josh.

Ben (22:50)

That everything was gonna work out.

Joey (22:51)

The eyes. Oh, my God.

Josh Peck (22:52)

God bless.

Joey (22:53)

So we did that on a garden son.

Ben (22:57)

Totally.

Josh Peck (23:00)

But he came on. I wasn't expecting for my. You know, you meet these Hollywood types, you think, I'll never see you again. No way. We could be close. Who would have thought? Me and John Stamos, we got married at the same time. We had kids around the same time.

Joey (23:12)

Oh, my God.

Josh Peck (23:13)

And he came on and he aired all of Aunt Becky's divorce.

Ben (23:16)

Everything.

Josh Peck (23:17)

Oh, my God.

Ben (23:18)

He aired everything that he probably wasn't expecting.

Joey (23:21)

Well, he wrote the recommendation letter for that daughter to get into college.

Josh Peck (23:23)

Correct, I'm sure.

Joey (23:26)

Not me.

Ben (23:27)

I'm out.

Josh Peck (23:27)

John Stamo's her rowing coach.

Joey (23:32)

Oh, my God. It's funny.

Josh Peck (23:33)

Do you think you see kids in your future? Future, Joey?

Joey (23:35)

No. You know, I always said this. If I. If I haven't. If I get. I step in and become really financially, like, over, like, over, like, make a ton of money, then yes. I don't want to raise a kid if they're not going to be like, like being able to, like, taking care of the way I need them to take care of.

Josh Peck (23:50)

Yeah.

Joey (23:50)

Like, I don't want, like, you know, kids are mean. I'm not sending him to public school. And like, P.S. not normal expense. P.S. 129 or whatever it is he's gonna go to, you know, have to go to Dalton, where there's, you know, black trans teachers and, you know, everyone's.

Josh Peck (24:02)

Everyone's Jeffrey Epstein.

Joey (24:03)

Everyone's. Yeah, yeah. He's on the roster, like, somewhere like, you know, like Angie Cohen's kids or like, you know, people that are like the rich gates that are having kids. Like, you know, anything's possible. So, like, you know, I want to be able to buy their affection.

Ben (24:14)

I think that if you decide to have kids, you'll just start making more money.

Joey (24:18)

I wouldn't do. Well, I have Wiggles now.

Ben (24:19)

You know, I wouldn't do it based on that. How's your podcast?

Joey (24:23)

Ben (24:40)

Joey (24:41)

Not rich enough really, because I still have to work.

Josh Peck (24:44)

Where are you big in?

Joey (25:31)

I was big in Russia for a while.

Ben (25:32)

You were?

Joey (25:33)

Yeah. When I used to work there, I used to be on the Home Shopping Network over there selling makeup in Moscow. And everyone says, what's Moscow like? It's like, it's like that's like comparing like Madison Avenue to like the slums of like, you know, the swamps or something, like where the slums hillbillies are. I just not the same thing.

Josh Peck (25:47)

Yeah. I imagine the host on Home Shopping Network being like, we have big gay influencers.

Joey (25:57)

You know the words. You know, it's Gotzilla.

Josh Peck (26:01)

We have big gay influencer here. Joy Kamasa talking about makeup.

Joey (26:06)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (26:07)

Go Joy.

Joey (26:08)

But the thing is I, my voice never made it to air. It was, I had, I, I, it was like a dubbed movie on top of my voice. So like I would talk to my translator and he's in the booth and whatever I say to him, he's telling the Russian person what I'm saying and then he, then he tells me what they are saying. So. And then, and then his voice goes out to the air. Do you get it?

Josh Peck (26:25)

Yeah.

Joey (26:25)

My voice is like, obviously like, you know, they can't. Gay people are allowed there. You picked the Most the gayest voice person in the world to be on National Street. I said, thank God they cut it off. I didn't want to get, you know, into trouble. But I did do a Kiki on the Kremlin.

Ben (26:38)

You did.

Josh Peck (26:40)

If you had a chance to talk to Putin, what would you lead with?

Joey (26:43)

I would want to ride a horse topless with him and just. And just get some pictures. I really. I don't really have any. Any feedback. I don't know what's going on, but.

Ben (26:50)

Did you see that video of him with the puppy?

Joey (26:52)

No.

Ben (26:53)

Somebody gifted him a puppy. You saw this video, and they were holding him by the neck.

Joey (26:56)

Oh, no.

Ben (26:56)

And they put down the puppy.

Joey (26:57)

I mean, I do that to wiggle because it reminds me of his mother. I use my mouth.

Ben (27:00)

And Putin. And Putin went up to that puppy, picked him up, held him, kissed him on the head. Just saying. We saw a side of Vladimir that's.

Joey (27:10)

He's been the president there for a long time.

Ben (27:12)

I think he'll be there forever forgiving.

Josh Peck (27:15)

Putin for one sweet video, by the way.

Ben (27:19)

As long as he loves animals, I don't care what he does to people.

Josh Peck (27:21)

We're sorry in advance.

Joey (27:23)

I'm not. I'm not privy on his bad. I'm sure he does bad stuff.

Ben (27:27)

I'm not privy on his war crimes.

Joey (27:29)

No. Yeah, War crimes. Yeah.

Josh Peck (27:30)

No, that's her new pod. War crimes.

Ben (27:33)

Josh Peck (27:40)

Which one?

Ben (27:41)

Josh Peck (27:44)

Oppenheimer.

Joey (27:45)

Oppenheimer.

Ben (27:47)

That's that movie you're in, Kiki on the Grandpa.

Joey (27:49)

No, I think it's my biggest flex. I know a real Hollywood actor. Oh, yeah, no, he's legit.

Josh Peck (27:55)

I know.

Joey (27:55)

My boyfriend was like. He was like. He was like. So I've never really sat down and watched an episode of Drake and Josh. I've seen, like, all the clips and stuff. And then I googled him on his dick. Pics, like, leaked, but that's all I knew of the show. And I was like. And then my boyfriend's like, you haven't watched. It was on for, like, 25 seasons. And he's telling me about all the pants last night. I was like, that's my friend. Nbd. No big deal.

Josh Peck (28:15)

No big deal.

Joey (28:15)

Honored.

Josh Peck (28:16)

Honored.

Joey (28:17)

This is where I come in and ask you. And I mentioned this before in passing, but I'm not kidding. Especially now that I have nothing going on in my career. If you're ever asked for me to, like, sit, like, as a background extra and maybe just be like, you know, I just want to be in a movie or a TV show.

Josh Peck (28:30)

I think more than that, I think you need some lines. You'd feel confident coming in and doing a scene, right?

Ben (28:36)

Yes.

Josh Peck (28:36)

Let's do an improv.

Joey (28:37)

Josh Peck (30:52)

It happened.

Joey (30:53)

Thank you.

Josh Peck (30:53)

I have to know what is on your make you for new beautiful upgrades. Surgical upgrades. Plastic surgeries.

Joey (31:00)

Surgeries Things we're thinking about. I love to dream I had my hair done my. My hair transplant from Dr. I have to go back. He wants me to go back to do a PRP which is where they. It's like the vampire facial. They take your blood, spin it and they inject it into whatever and basically like it makes a newborn area of whatever that is. So it's like he wants to inject my blood into my scalp. So I'm going to do that. I do need to get my Botox and fillers refreshed but I also want to get my neck sucked out.

Ben (31:25)

Interesting.

Josh Peck (31:25)

How do they do like just old school lipo.

Joey (31:27)

I think it's just that. I think I just do like a little incision here and then they. They suck it all through there and then maybe and they tighten. I don't think I'm in the area for that. Just. I mean he wants to do it. Go ahead. I can. He can sew the back of my neck up with a zipper. I don't give a.

Josh Peck (31:40)

They hide behind the ears.

Joey (31:41)

That's. Yeah, you don't need that if you.

Ben (31:43)

Have a beard and the beard looks good.

Joey (31:45)

I don't want to have the beard anymore. That's the thing. I mean I don't want to think other clean shaven but like I've never been able to have the beard. Not a beard because I look disgusting.

Ben (31:53)

Yeah, me too. When I'm completely clean.

Joey (31:56)

Especially when I'm over a certain way that like that far.

Ben (31:58)

Well now I've dropped below my threshold. Above my threshold. I look like Rosie o'. Donnell. Below my threshold I look like this. But when I'm clean shaven. I mean you've not you. But I'm saying no you've seen me, you remember.

Joey (32:10)

It's just I don't think that's good for any guy. Like even you have your clean shave but you have a little. A little shadow. Yeah, it's our natural contour.

Ben (32:15)

Shadow's nice. The totally clean. I don't need it.

Josh Peck (32:18)

I'm very gray in my beard too, so I get a little insecure.

Ben (32:21)

Interesting. You shouldn't be.

Joey (32:22)

You need to use an orange corrector when you do drag, though, to counteract the blue.

Josh Peck (32:26)

Mm. Okay.

Joey (32:28)

Have you ever cross dressed?

Josh Peck (32:29)

No. On Drake and Josh, the first episode of the pilot, there was a character named Miss Nancy. Oh, here was the pilot episode of Drake and Josh. Right. That literally, the feedback, I think, from the network was like, maybe he shouldn't cross dress. Was that.

Joey (32:44)

Well, what year was this? 1999.

Josh Peck (32:45)

This was two. 2002.

Joey (32:48)

Okay.

Josh Peck (32:48)

Okay, close. And they go, so it's Drake's the cool musician, and I'm like the nerdy chubby kid. And he finds out that there is a, like, ask me anything news column for our high school. Right. And call Miss Nancy. Ask Miss Nancy anything. I am using Miss Nancy as my secret pen name. And I dress in dress Original Gossip Girl to channel Miss Nancy. So he walks in on me in a dress and a wig. Yeah.

Joey (33:17)

Did you feel Fish?

Josh Peck (33:19)

Yes. And I said, I was like, you can't do this. Like, I'm like, you can't tell people that I'm Miss Nancy. He's like, maybe you shouldn't be Miss Nancy. And sort of the arc of the first episode is him convincing me, hey, maybe you don't need to dress now.

Ben (33:33)

Yeah, I don't even remember that. I've cross dressed a lot.

Joey (33:36)

Yeah.

Ben (33:36)

Every toast a win. I seem to define myself as a woman.

Joey (33:39)

You've been played Belly.

Ben (33:40)

I played Belly with a belly. You like Belly with a belly.

Joey (33:43)

You didn't even know who it was. No.

Ben (33:44)

No clue.

Josh Peck (33:45)

Yeah. Who was that?

Joey (33:46)

Summer I turned pretty.

Ben (33:47)

Summer I turned pretty. This girl named Belly. But I thought it would be funny if I had my belly out named Belly. So I was Belly named Belly. And of course, whenever I dress like a woman, I turn into you, Virginia.

Joey (33:54)

Yes.

Ben (33:55)

Oh, my name is Belly the same way. Oh, I was Donna Kelce. Oh, I was.

Joey (34:01)

Did you play Donna Kelsey? Oh, you did.

Ben (34:02)

Josh Peck (37:56)

Can we talk desserts?

Joey (37:58)

Sure.

Josh Peck (37:59)

Because I fly in Little Pie Co. From New York to LA, I never had it.

Ben (38:04)

Do you bake?

Joey (38:05)

I don't bake. I mean, I don't and I suddenly eat desserts at my older age. I do crave a little sweetness here and there. And if I met a patisserie, maybe I'll have, I'll have something delightful. But no, I don't really bake. I'll make a crumble or something. I'll do like, you know, I, I put things together. Like one of my favorite desserts to do is. And this is quick. If you don't like making desserts, this is something you can do and you should try. I'll make it next time you come over. You just take a really high quality ice cream, buy that and put in the freezer. Whatever flavor, like vanilla bean is always good. And then I make a fruit, a kiki fruit topping of some sort. So I'll do a compost with brown butter and then you put brown sugar and you could use it. You make a caramel with butter and fit butter and, and a little bit of liquor Brandy or something in there. So it's like. And it's saucy syrup with figs. And you put that over the ice cream and then you top it with some chopped. Chopped pistachios and flaky smoked salt.

Ben (38:56)

My God, Joey.

Josh Peck (38:58)

Unreal.

Joey (38:59)

So that's the extent of desserts I do. I got. You can't see it under my Ralph Lauren sweater.

Ben (39:02)

Yeah, no, but I don't. I don't. I don't make desserts either. But. Yeah, back to the. The Thanksgiving desserts.

Josh Peck (39:06)

I don't.

Ben (39:07)

I'm not a big pecan pie guy.

Joey (39:09)

People.

Josh Peck (39:09)

Little pie company Sour cream apple pie.

Joey (39:12)

Oh, that's the.

Ben (39:13)

Sounds delicious.

Joey (39:14)

Wait, so where's the sour cream?

Josh Peck (39:15)

It's in. It's like mixed in with the apples.

Joey (39:18)

So it's a creamy apple pie. It's almost like. I'm thinking of like a creamy apple. Yeah, it's filling. You know, I don't like apple pie is. Because when you put the. When you cut the apple pie and you get. By the time it gets to your plate, everything flavor slap falls out the sides. It's not a pie shape anymore, pumpkin. Yes. It stays. It. The integrity stays.

Ben (39:33)

But I agree with you.

Joey (39:34)

I'd rather have. I'd rather have a crumble or a strudel.

Ben (39:37)

A crumble. I love the taste of an apple pie with a little vanilla ice cream.

Joey (39:40)

A cobbler.

Ben (39:42)

A cobbler is a much better.

Joey (39:44)

I made a peach cobbler once. You did cobbler Queens. You know who you are. I did it on Live and it was just a whole thing. We had the best time in that thing. Oh, look at that.

Josh Peck (39:52)

Kind of. It's kind of.

Joey (39:53)

It sort of beyond. By the way, it's giving Kiki Kugel.

Ben (39:58)

Because of the sour cream. I think that holds it together. It's a binder.

Josh Peck (40:03)

I mean, some coagulation going on.

Ben (40:05)

So you.

Joey (40:05)

You fly those into la.

Josh Peck (40:06)

I do. I fly those in sometimes. I'll find some Veneros pastries.

Joey (40:11)

Yeah. Do you have a guest house?

Josh Peck (40:14)

Yeah. You want to come over?

Joey (40:15)

I'm going to say next time in la, can I stay there instead of where I do usually stay?

Josh Peck (40:18)

Please, My kids.

Joey (40:20)

The London hotel.

Josh Peck (40:22)

He's a West Hollywood queen.

Joey (40:23)

West Hollywood queen.

Ben (40:24)

Sorry.

Joey (40:25)

You don't like it there.

Ben (40:25)

I just don't like West Hollywood.

Joey (40:27)

Well. Wow. You don't suck dick, girl. Not yet, mama.

Josh Peck (40:32)

Do you see that on the menu for us?

Ben (40:33)

We were talking about it on the dinner.

Josh Peck (40:35)

Yeah.

Joey (40:35)

I mean, I wouldn't put anything past it. I've never looked down on a woman. But, you know, all bets are off.

Josh Peck (40:39)

Like, I just feel like my life would be incomplete.

Joey (40:44)

Maybe Miss Jack. What's her drag name?

Josh Peck (40:46)

Miss Nancy.

Joey (40:47)

Miss Nancy would go down on a woman.

Ben (40:48)

I want you to know this is the third time in 12 hours Josh has said, I don't think I can finish my life without being with a man.

Josh Peck (40:55)

Wait till you see me next month.

Ben (40:56)

I don't know if we're joking.

Joey (40:58)

Well, maybe you and I could play lovers in a steamy film.

Josh Peck (41:01)

Can you imagine?

Joey (41:02)

I can with that top punk.

Josh Peck (41:06)

You would be like my Armie Hammer. And I'd be like, you're Timothee Chalamet.

Ben (41:10)

I know I would love.

Josh Peck (41:11)

And what are we doing? Like, maybe we make it like Hallmark, though, so it's like family friendly.

Joey (41:16)

Yeah, we have the. What's this? That guy's name. That's from Clueless. It's in all the gay movies on Hallmark. By Jonathan Bennett.

Josh Peck (41:22)

Yeah, yeah.

Joey (41:22)

I can't. You can't tap into that industry. He, like, owns it.

Josh Peck (41:25)

Maybe you.

Joey (41:26)

John the Bennett. He played the heartthrob in Mean Girls. Meanwhile, do you know them? Every guy Mean Girls is gay. Really? Including the rapper, The Indian guy. Rapper? I didn't know that he's gay. Danny, obviously. Don't, you know. Say. You don't even go here. Yes. Do you know what I'm talking about? I do.

Ben (41:40)

I know Danny. I don't know the other ones.

Joey (41:43)

And the main guy, Jonathan Bennett, the.

Ben (41:45)

One who's like the handsome, the heartthrob. His name's Samuel, right? Is that him? Isn't that his name? Samuel? I don't know actors names. I know what their name was in the movie. Yeah, I think his name was Samuel. Yes, Aaron.

Joey (41:57)

Samuel. Aaron Samuels.

Josh Peck (41:58)

Aaron.

Joey (41:58)

Aaron Samuels.

Ben (41:59)

Aaron Samuels.

Joey (42:00)

Okay. Him. He's. Yeah, he's. He's. He runs the Hallmark Network.

Ben (42:03)

Is Lindsay Lohan gay?

Joey (42:05)

I know, but she did dates. She was dating that DJ for a while.

Josh Peck (42:08)

Ronson. Mark Ronson.

Joey (42:10)

Yeah, Mark Ronson. She's one of my white whale guests.

Ben (42:12)

Really?

Joey (42:12)

I know. I know. I am the white whale guest. But if you. If. If you had to go once you're below me. Who is the. Well, guest on Good Guys.

Ben (42:19)

Who's the white male guest?

Joey (42:20)

White whale.

Ben (42:20)

White whale.

Joey (42:21)

That means, like the number one guest you can ever have.

Ben (42:23)

You really are. I. I said it to Josh coming over. You just enter the universe and we have such a great time.

Joey (42:28)

I'm having so much fun.

Ben (42:30)

Another guest who. Who have we loved having on I.

Josh Peck (42:34)

Mean, like, Oprah would be pretty insane.

Ben (42:36)

Oh, somebody that we haven't had on.

Josh Peck (42:38)

Yeah.

Joey (42:38)

Oh, yeah. No. Someone that you can get your dream guest.

Ben (42:40)

Oh, my God.

Joey (42:41)

Yeah.

Ben (42:41)

Or Larry David would be amazing. Yeah. I would love. I would love to have Larry on. I feel like we have so much fun.

Joey (42:47)

Are you Seinfeld Queens?

Ben (42:48)

I love Seinfeld. Yeah. Yeah.

Joey (42:50)

You're not allowed to. Not.

Josh Peck (42:51)

I like Curb.

Joey (42:52)

Yeah. I love. So Funny.

Ben (42:53)

I do think Curb is better, but I. But I.

Joey (42:56)

It just. It's. It's just. It evolved from what Seinfeld was. If, you know, if Seinfeld was here, you know, you don't talk about the style. Evolved, of course.

Josh Peck (43:03)

Yeah.

Joey (43:04)

So, like, they made their own style.

Ben (43:05)

It was also just like, the. The better version of jokes. No, I don't think so.

Josh Peck (43:11)

You like the Office.

Ben (43:12)

The Office copied the Office, right?

Joey (43:14)

I. I liked it.

Ben (43:15)

Right.

Josh Peck (43:15)

British office.

Ben (43:16)

British office. There's a. You know, the British office, and then there's an American office, and they're the exact.

Joey (43:20)

I mean, there's a new one. A new one. There's another.

Ben (43:22)

There's a third.

Josh Peck (43:23)

The paper.

Joey (43:24)

The paper, yeah. We both auditioned.

Ben (43:26)

We didn't get it.

Josh Peck (43:27)

We did. I auditioned. I didn't get it.

Ben (43:28)

We didn't need that.

Joey (43:30)

My White Wheel guest would be Britney Spears, obviously.

Ben (43:34)

What'd you think about her kissing Kim.

Joey (43:36)

Kardashian in bed on this girl? You do?

Josh Peck (43:40)

Yeah, yeah.

Ben (43:40)

Let's talk about it.

Joey (43:41)

So everyone, you know, it's strange. So I was upset because I was like, kim Kardashian, do what? Say what you want about her. I don't give a. People hate her because she got to wear Marilyn Monroe's dress. And they're. You know, this is like something that, like, no one else allowed to do this. She has the opportunities that no one else in the world gets, and that people are hating on her for that. I don't care what she does. She could move into the White House and paint it hot pink and, like, whatever the hell she wants to do. I don't care what she does. But now she stepped over the line when she's having a slumber party with Britney Spears. It's like, leave it something for us. Leave something for us. That's what. That's. She went too far. Take. Take all the jewels from the archives of Elizabeth Taylor. Leave Brittany alone.

Ben (44:18)

Slumber party with Britney.

Joey (44:20)

So her, Chloe, and Kim were all in the bed together, kikiing and taking pictures and being goofy. There was some random queen there. I don't know who he was, but it was probably the hairdresser.

Ben (44:31)

And that kiss on the cheek, it was very sensual.

Joey (44:33)

Well, they were. I think they were at Kris Kardashian's house and.

Ben (44:37)

Oh, you think it was after the party?

Joey (44:38)

I don't know. 1. No, I don't think she was at the wedding part. It's just. You don't think so? No, this wasn't the 70th. It wasn't that. It was something else. But apparently Kris Kardashian is stepping. Kris Jenner is stepping in and taking over. She did. Kabitha, give me the keys. I'm taking over. And she's taking over Britney's career, and she's gonna get her back on the stage and she's. She's gonna do a whole rebrand. She's a whole.

Ben (45:01)

You're kidding.

Joey (45:01)

That's what real, real insiders are saying. This, not just TMZ or whatever. This.

Ben (45:05)

This sounds like a great idea.

Joey (45:07)

It's the perfect idea. Who could rebrand her better than. I mean, if Kim can come back from that sex tape. Yeah, yeah. You could come back from playing Miss Nancy. I'll be like, Britney in that bed.

Josh Peck (45:17)

This bed vibrates.

Joey (45:18)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (45:22)

What is the love of a Britney? Of like, of. She's iconic, but especially to the gay community.

Joey (45:28)

Well, I think it's a combination of two things. Being like a badass diva on top of your game, the hottest bitch in the game having that. But then also the messiness of a drunk white woman or a dance in distress, or like a messy bitch on top. The combination, that's what sets it off. That's why we love, you know, Judy Garland. Yeah.

Josh Peck (45:45)

Like, that's. I heard Mateo Lane talking about that. Like, Judy Garland was this tough broad in a day where women had to be more demure. And she was a messy white woman.

Joey (45:55)

Marilyn Monroe, she was the hottest starlet of the world, but she was, you know, hill popping mess, sleeping around with everyone's husbands and doing slutty stuff. So that's what we like. We like someone who's like, a bad bitch. We just. We're just waiting for Beyonce to start acting up.

Ben (46:08)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (46:08)

Could you imagine?

Joey (46:09)

I can't imagine.

Josh Peck (46:10)

It's like.

Joey (46:10)

No, I would, like. I would love it. She has to have the sister.

Ben (46:12)

I don't think she ever had the.

Joey (46:13)

Sister do the fighting in the elevator.

Josh Peck (46:15)

Solange, what do you think was happening when she attacked Jay Z?

Joey (46:18)

Like, it was.

Ben (46:19)

She.

Joey (46:19)

Jay Z. She. Solange found out that Jay Z was cheating. Really? It was the lemonade of it.

Josh Peck (46:23)

All Sean Shawn Carter. Should we get to a story?

Joey (46:27)

I'd love to.

Josh Peck (46:29)

We got a couple fun ones. And now I'm just staring at apple pie. Well, a billionaire CEO's archaic dating advice ruthlessly mocked. So the Post found out which pickup lines are better or worse. Bill Ackman, the CEO, had a weekend epiphany posted on X that he basically thinks that you should say things like may I meet you? And. Which was a head scratcher, apparently. Or something like, oh, they don't. This The New York Post is like.

Joey (47:02)

When approaching a date, a prospective date person. May I meet you?

Josh Peck (47:06)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But his advice raised an even bigger question. What are the best and worst pickup lines people have heard? This article sucks.

Joey (47:13)

Hold on.

Josh Peck (47:15)

Please forgive me.

Joey (47:16)

Okay, here's.

Josh Peck (47:16)

Here's the story. Cookie shops are kicking cupcakes to the curb. Drawing lines that have gotten out of hand over New York City's latest food obsession. People travel to New York City for many different reasons. And that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Jordan White said they came all the way from Michigan with her husband to spend her honeymoon eating cookies. She got in line at Redgate, the East Village hotspot bakery known for supposedly having the best chocolate chip cookie in New York City. Really hoping to catch a glimpse and grab a bite of wine. She arrived at 6am and had to wait till they opened at 10.

Ben (47:51)

I don't.

Joey (47:52)

Is this new?

Josh Peck (47:53)

I guess. The cookie obsession.

Joey (47:55)

I am a slut for chocolate chip cookies. A little sea salt on top.

Ben (47:57)

Same. Fantastic. But I'm not waiting on my anything, Joey.

Joey (48:00)

Me either.

Ben (48:01)

I'm gonna miss the fad. I'm sorry. I'm just not doing it.

Joey (48:04)

No, I'm not. There's nothing in life I wouldn't, I, I, I'd sooner die. I'd soon die. And that's not being an elitist or I'm too good for anyone or like too fancy. It's just. It's just pure. I don't care about anything that much. To wait in a line.

Ben (48:14)

No, I don't care at all. I walk past Crumble every day. This line, remember? He got out long. Crumble did.

Joey (48:21)

The owner of Crumble outed as. As a homosexual. I said, mama, you make cookies for a living. Think we're in the closet ever, girl. She was shocked that everyone found out.

Ben (48:32)

Girl like, homeboy, you make doilies.

Josh Peck (48:36)

We know you're gay.

Joey (48:39)

But I didn't know there was a cookie thing. Like, I know. I. You know what I don't like when People are waiting online for stupid hybrid like the cookie croissant. There's a crook.

Josh Peck (48:48)

A crook.

Joey (48:49)

A crooky or a. Yeah, the crookie.

Ben (48:51)

What is this?

Joey (48:51)

It's like.

Josh Peck (48:52)

It's delicious.

Joey (48:53)

Have you had it? Oh, I've had it. It looks like a dog shit on a croissant.

Josh Peck (48:56)

It's so good.

Joey (48:57)

Leaving from Paris. It's like, it's a little offensive to my culture.

Ben (49:00)

Yeah, no, you can't disrespect the croissant.

Josh Peck (49:02)

But I got like the janky one from Le Pein Cote d'. On.

Joey (49:05)

I saw it there. Yeah, that's delish.

Ben (49:07)

They have a great cookie. Very underrated. Big thin cookie, almost eight.

Joey (49:11)

There used to be one under my old office in there. I like that place.

Josh Peck (49:13)

Yeah, it's good.

Joey (49:14)

Very nice. Yeah.

Ben (49:14)

They also have nice little tartines.

Joey (49:16)

I do. Like they have a book called tartine. They do, they do a tartine book. And I like, like a, like a. A simple vegetable soup. You know what I mean?

Ben (49:23)

Hardy hearty vegetable.

Joey (49:25)

Yeah, I love making soup.

Ben (49:27)

Yeah, I love a tartine. It's really just an open faced sandwich.

Joey (49:29)

Is that what I was thinking? I was thinking of like a quiche.

Ben (49:32)

No, no, no. Tartines are open faced sandwiches. Ah, but quiche is a quiche.

Josh Peck (49:36)

But then what's a tarte tongue?

Ben (49:37)

I don't know.

Josh Peck (49:38)

I think I just made that word out.

Joey (49:39)

Okay.

Ben (49:40)

Frittata. You like frittatas?

Joey (49:41)

Oh, I love it. Yeah, Frittitties, asparagus and gruyere.

Josh Peck (49:44)

But what are the other cookie preeminent cookies in New York? Levain is.

Joey (49:48)

Levin is one of the big ones.

Ben (49:50)

Yeah. Levaine's a big one. But that's like a big cookie.

Joey (49:52)

It's a big.

Ben (49:52)

I like a thin. A tate. You go to the Hamptons and you go to Tate's.

Joey (49:56)

Those are crunchy cookies though.

Ben (49:57)

They're amazing. Crunchy. Yes, for sure. You get a little caramel in there. I like a thin cookie.

Joey (50:02)

Are you a thinner?

Ben (50:02)

A thick?

Joey (50:03)

I got to say, I think for cookies, I think I want it not like doughy. I don't want to taste raw.

Ben (50:08)

You want it soft. I understand.

Joey (50:09)

I want like, I want it like chocolate. Chocolate, Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I like a lot of chocolate. Where have I ordered from recently that I've been loving?

Ben (50:17)

Do you like a cookie company name? Limp. You like that?

Joey (50:21)

No. Do you know it? No. Is it called Limp?

Ben (50:22)

No, no, I'm saying do you like that as the name for a cookie?

Joey (50:24)

No, not for cookies.

Ben (50:25)

We don't like it limp? No. Okay, we'll keep working on it. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Shopify.

Josh Peck (54:36)

There's a swanky new New York City grocer facing death threats over insane prices, but has lines around the block. And is this.

Ben (54:43)

What's his name? Metalane?

Joey (54:44)

Meadow Lane. Could be.

Josh Peck (54:45)

Meadow Lane, a posh store in Tribeca at 355 Greenwich street has drawn such massive crowds since it opened last Friday that it was forced to impose quotas on goods. Those include $625 tins of Siberian caviar, $65 bottles of extra virgin olive oil, $74 containers of matcha powder and gluten free chicken nuggets priced at $15 per half dozen.

Joey (55:08)

Well, I know the products are talking about, but that's. I think that's just the price of the products. If you order that online, it's same kind of product. The Flamingo Estate olive oil, I think they're selling there. And that's just.

Ben (55:17)

Oh, they just have expensive products.

Joey (55:18)

Yeah, they're. They're curated expensive products. They're not making their own products.

Ben (55:21)

All I know is he made own prepared foods.

Joey (55:23)

Yes.

Ben (55:24)

He did such a masterful job at marketing that place. I've seen it over the last, what is it, two years where he's talking about launching what everybody thought was this fictitious grocer and then he launched it.

Joey (55:36)

Yep. There's a doorman brushing. There's doorman.

Ben (55:37)

There is, yeah. So it's like everyone on steroids.

Joey (55:40)

Yeah. How do we get in without waiting online, though?

Ben (55:42)

I don't think we do, Joey. I don't think it's.

Joey (55:44)

You think your wife. You think Claudia can get in?

Ben (55:45)

Oh, Clark, she probably could anyone.

Joey (55:48)

She wouldn't go.

Ben (55:48)

She wouldn't ask.

Joey (55:49)

Yeah, she could.

Ben (55:50)

Claudia could do absolutely anything she wants. She's never going to ask.

Joey (55:53)

That's why. That's why I have to take her phone when she's sleeping and start texting.

Ben (55:56)

And start texting people.

Joey (55:57)

Yeah.

Ben (55:58)

Yeah. Do you mind if we come to Meadow Lane? Yeah, they opened an Air One in the city.

Joey (56:01)

I saw you talked about that. But it's. You can only order on Uber Eats and if you're within a 1 mile radius of the West Village locations. I tried to look yesterday at my house. I'm like 1.5 miles from there, so. But it's like I. They wouldn't deliver to my house. And you can't go in. It's only on Uber Eats. Or if you. If you're.

Ben (56:16)

Oh, there's.

Joey (56:16)

You can't go in.

Josh Peck (56:17)

It's no Air One Ghost Kitchen.

Joey (56:18)

No, it's inside a Kith is a clothing store. Yes. Inside. There's a kith inside of a private members club. And the.

Ben (56:26)

And the air one's in there.

Joey (56:28)

Inside the. Inside. There's a smoothie bar inside of a clothing store inside of a private member's club.

Josh Peck (56:32)

That's too much. That's too much.

Joey (56:35)

I don't. You private member queen.

Ben (56:37)

What did you say?

Joey (56:37)

Are you a private member queen?

Ben (56:38)

Yeah, some.

Joey (56:39)

You have the good one. We have. We have the good one.

Ben (56:42)

We have. We have the good ones. Zero bonds.

Joey (56:45)

That's the one.

Ben (56:46)

The. What's it called?

Joey (56:47)

Casa Seprionis.

Ben (56:48)

The San Vicentes.

Joey (56:49)

Oh, the San Vicente.

Ben (56:51)

Which by the way, in LA is much better than here.

Joey (56:53)

Yeah, yeah. They don't pool here, do they?

Ben (56:55)

I don't think they have anything here.

Joey (56:56)

Honestly.

Ben (56:57)

Not that great. It's fine.

Josh Peck (56:58)

And no one is at Soho House anymore.

Ben (57:00)

That's not a thing.

Joey (57:01)

Not unless you work at the mattress firm.

Josh Peck (57:05)

So it's totally gone, huh? It ain't a thing.

Joey (57:08)

I mean. Yeah, I don't think, I don't think LA again, LA's is better than one here. The one here is.

Ben (57:13)

The one here is not good. The one here is not good.

Josh Peck (57:14)

Like the one in Chicago used to be good.

Joey (57:16)

I think those. I think the newer ones that, that change. It's completely different from what than what I was expected normally in New York, objectively, they're nice.

Ben (57:23)

What it is, is it's just no longer cool. Like half the reason you're signing up for these places is because you think it's cool.

Joey (57:30)

And you might write, you know, you know, or Taylor Swift.

Ben (57:33)

Taylor Swift is just like popping up at these places.

Joey (57:36)

Yeah, well, she does pop up at your place.

Ben (57:37)

She does. Yeah, she does. She also pops up at all the New York members clubs. Yeah, she's a member. She's a member's queen. Exclusive queen.

Josh Peck (57:44)

I always want to see these people's like, credit card. Like, what is Taylor Swift's credit? Does she have a super one from Amex?

Joey (57:49)

I don't know. I think those people like, don't. I would don't spend money on anything. No, not. They don't spend the money. I don't think it's like one credit card. I think it's like things like linked to like these big Swiss accounts that, like that, like that get refilled or like something. Or ahead of time. It's called ahead of time. And there's an invoice center. Like, I can't imagine they're just, I mean, for shopping. Yes, but I Can't imagine they're just like handing. Buying homes and stuff on like their credit card.

Ben (58:12)

Like, Taylor Swift is coming into your establishment no matter what it is. How are you charging her?

Joey (58:17)

I'm not charging her.

Ben (58:18)

I'm not charging her. I know she's gonna then offer a thousand dollar tip to the waiter or whatever it is, and you give it to the side. I'm not charging her ever.

Joey (58:24)

Oh, why is that?

Ben (58:26)

Because I want her to come back. I think, like, her being in my. Whether it's a clothing store, whether it's a restaurant, like, a photograph of her being there more than once is worth its weight in gold.

Josh Peck (58:36)

But do you think, like, I heard Clooney rejects all gifting because he doesn't want to be on.

Ben (58:41)

That makes sense.

Josh Peck (58:42)

But similarly with her, like, she'd be like, yeah, thank you for the thousand dollar dinner. But like, I don't want to feel. I'd. It's not for me.

Joey (58:48)

I'd rather pay.

Josh Peck (58:49)

And I don't want to feel like I owe you any.

Ben (58:51)

Yeah, it's like us when we went to the Italian Isis place in Corona, Queens.

Joey (58:54)

Yeah.

Ben (58:54)

And they gave.

Joey (58:54)

I'll take. They gave Joey.

Ben (58:56)

So we had to give them a $20 tip. Yeah, I'll take ice for $5.

Joey (59:00)

Yeah.

Ben (59:01)

We were cheated.

Joey (59:02)

That's another thing. If you're a business owner. Some people, like, can't. Like there's. I remember when I worked at Barstool, Dave Porter, we went to this one place and this rest. This piece of red, he goes, dave, we love you. We love everything. But we can't, we can't handle the, the fame and notoriety. We can't handle, like, you know, putting out that many pizzas without compromising quality. And like, we don't want to be like, oversaturated with people and have lines out the door. Like, we, we don't want our business like that. It's like a lot of people don't want that fame and notoriety because they can't handle it. They don't have enough staff, they don't have the places and big enough. They can't turn on enough product. So a lot of restaurants, like, aren't taking, you know, any bribes from slippery there.

Ben (59:37)

I don't, I don't understand. You don't, you don't, you don't want to. You don't want a popular pizza place?

Joey (59:43)

No, I do, but. Yeah, same.

Ben (59:45)

Figure it out. Hire more people. Yeah. Get another rest.

Joey (59:47)

Put an addition on. Do it out of his, his back house.

Ben (59:50)

Or ask. Yeah, ask Portnoy to pay for it.

Joey (59:52)

Yeah. Go all in.

Ben (59:53)

What was it like working for Dave?

Joey (59:54)

Oh, he's lovely.

Ben (59:55)

He's lovely.

Joey (59:55)

Oh, my God. The best. Yeah.

Ben (59:56)

Good guy.

Joey (59:57)

Very good.

Ben (59:57)

Stay in touch.

Joey (59:59)

No, I mean, we're on Facebook, on Instagram and stuff, you know, here and there, but, yeah.

Josh Peck (60:03)

I bet if you called him, though.

Joey (60:04)

If you need some more, he'd be there for you.

Josh Peck (60:06)

No, he seems that way.

Joey (60:07)

Very good. Very smart and just straight. A straight shooter. If I had to write something down. Straight shooter. No, with him, it's like.

Ben (60:13)

That's nice.

Joey (60:14)

It's exactly. Exactly what you get is what he's who he is.

Ben (60:17)

So what's next for Mr. Canasta?

Joey (60:19)

Well, I would love to start doing more cooking stuff.

Ben (60:23)

Yeah, we're gonna cook.

Joey (60:24)

Yeah, I want to. I would love to. I want to do Wishbone Kitchen.

Ben (60:26)

Yeah. What she's doing, like, dinner with friends.

Joey (60:28)

Dinner parties.

Ben (60:29)

Film it, have people over.

Joey (60:30)

Yep. Shoot it. Yep. Some fun celebrity friends come over, tell them their favorite dish, kind of do something, you know, in the home and, you know, eventually have a cookbook. I would like to, you know, do a product line, lend my name to a. Yeah. A la crusade, and have, you know, a special edition. I'm a brand. I'm a brand partnership queen.

Ben (60:48)

Yeah. Yeah. Food. The food lane is the right lane.

Joey (60:51)

Short, short, short list. I want to get invited to some kind of ski thing, like the snow lodge or something. Okay.

Ben (60:57)

Everybody's gotta make that.

Joey (60:58)

I want a brand trip. Like, I want to. I want to start doing more brand trips. I want to be on more red carpets. I just want to, like, be mix and mingle and get into the biz.

Ben (61:04)

Right now, by the way. The same way that those people listen to the toast, those people listen here. So whatever you ask, it's going to happen.

Josh Peck (61:10)

And you're. You're a shark ninja queen. Like we are.

Joey (61:12)

I am a shark ninja queen. Do you have a fan? Love the Twisty family for this.

Ben (61:16)

I don't have that blade.

Josh Peck (61:17)

I have the one that shoots out a mist of water during the summer.

Ben (61:20)

I haven't told you this. Are you ready for this? My ex boss, when I used to work in media, just texted me that she became the head of marketing where.

Josh Peck (61:31)

Stop Rochem.

Ben (61:32)

You need free products. I love hearing this.

Joey (61:35)

No, I do.

Ben (61:35)

Shark Ninja Shark Ninja Shark Ninja Shark Ninja.

Joey (61:38)

I love. I've loved. I did, I did. I worked them for a while. I love their vacuum. I have this, like this stick vacuum that, like, it's. You put it in the machine and it sucks. It cleans the vacuum.

Ben (61:48)

Didn't we just sell that this morning?

Joey (61:50)

Yeah, it's my favorite.

Ben (61:51)

On Amazon Live this morning. Hawkinshark Ninjas.

Joey (61:53)

Oh, I love it. It sucks. Oh, that's nothing. I want to be an Amazon queen. I used to. I was. I was the original influence on air influencer over there. When they were. Had Amazon style code live. It was me, Frankie Grande, and we used to. And he and I would do all the makeup, makeovers and stuff, and he would be the sales lady, and we would do that. Okay, I need to get back on Amazon as well.

Ben (62:10)

Cooking and lives. Cooking and lives. I love it, Joey. Absolutely love it.

Joey (62:14)

Should we do what?

Ben (62:15)

Are you nuts?

Josh Peck (62:16)

We should. Let's do one moron mail really quick.

Ben (62:18)

Yes, Moron mail. We get our.

Joey (62:19)

What is this called?

Ben (62:20)

Moron mail.

Josh Peck (62:22)

Moron mail.

Joey (62:25)

Yes.

Ben (62:26)

Our listeners are morons, as are we. It's a community of morons. There we are from Mads.

Matt (62:32)

All right, good, guys, let's. Let's get to it. I am a little offended that you haven't answered my other. It's fine. I still love you both. You wanted something juicy? I had some juicy for you. I have a girl in my life who I am friendly with, who has taken our friendship from 0 to 60 and calls me her best friend. She's obsessed with me. Her words, not mine. And it gets a little scary. There's some more details, some voice memos, some. Some vibes, and I'm honestly not sure what to do about it. So your advice would be great. I don't think. Hopefully.

Ben (63:18)

Fingers crossed.

Matt (63:19)

There's any way that she would listen to this podcast. No offense to you, of course, but, you know, to protect myself. But I think that you guys would get a crazy kick out of it. I really do. And I would love to talk to you about it. I love you guys.

Joey (63:35)

All right, Matt, I don't understand. My attention span's gone. I don't hear anything. She's.

Ben (63:39)

No, but I think that she was saying that she has a friend. Went 0 to 60 with a friend, and the friend sounds like a stalker, Right?

Joey (63:45)

Is that what it took?

Josh Peck (63:46)

It got really intense.

Ben (63:47)

Got really quick really quickly.

Joey (63:49)

That's a friendship.

Ben (63:49)

As a friendship.

Joey (63:50)

Yeah.

Ben (63:50)

She just. Like, it's ping or ping or ping or ping or pinger.

Joey (63:53)

I mean, I would just set your grounds. I would set, set, set the tone. Be like, listen, love your b. Tch. But you need to use chill.

Ben (63:59)

You need to chill.

Joey (64:00)

Yeah, I'm. No offense. Start with no offense.

Ben (64:03)

A Hard reset, like that is. Is really, really important.

Joey (64:06)

Yeah.

Ben (64:06)

That said, I don't know if you need to hard reset with a new friend.

Joey (64:09)

I think you just cut it off. Cut it off? Yeah. Yeah.

Ben (64:11)

If this is an old friend, you do the hard reset, right? Because they've been in your life for so long, you have a little bit of guilt, and a new friend comes on that strong block. Sayonara.

Joey (64:21)

You know exactly what you're signing up for. So it's your fault at the end if you ended up in a messy situation.

Ben (64:25)

I think so. Right.

Josh Peck (64:25)

I've dated a lot of girls with something called borderline personality disorder by choice. That's what it is. It's borderline personality disorder. When they come in, you define them. They make you someone with borderline. You will never feel better than when their light is shining on you. But when they turn off, get scared, like. And they'll look for vengeance like they will. They will set you up to disappoint them because you will have healthy human boundaries and be like, maybe I can't be obsessed with you 24 7. They'll be like, how dare you? And then they're coming, so it's better. It's so hard because that crack of how wonderful you are, it's the thought.

Joey (65:00)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (65:01)

It feels so good, but I remember.

Joey (65:03)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (65:03)

Dude, I. I think it's spooky. You have.

Joey (65:06)

You've.

Josh Peck (65:06)

So you've told me about it for another. Yeah, it's for another pot. I did it. A girl who. Who was very obsessed with me. And then I was like, this isn't healthy. And then she cut her arm off over me.

Joey (65:15)

No, she didn't.

Josh Peck (65:16)

She did.

Joey (65:17)

Really? I amputated her arm.

Ben (65:19)

She.

Josh Peck (65:20)

We're gonna have to cut this out. Why?

Joey (65:23)

We.

Ben (65:23)

Can't she wait? No, we have to leave it in. Should we get to.

Josh Peck (65:26)

What are you nuts?

Ben (65:27)

Yeah, you know, our. What are you nuts?

Joey (65:28)

Moment. Oh, yeah.

Ben (65:28)

Gripes with people. Places and things both big and small, whatever. Sticking to your craw mines, quick and easy.

Joey (65:33)

Yep.

Ben (65:34)

If you're not watching on YouTube, it's a. What are you nuts? I went to the deli Joey to get this guy, okay? I picked up my beautiful plastic cup, my beautiful plastic lid. Enormous, right?

Joey (65:45)

Absolutely not. I already see it.

Ben (65:47)

Look at this.

Joey (65:47)

How is this still alive? I thought that the president took care of this.

Ben (65:51)

This is what I don't understand. I'm all for if you want to give me a paper straw. Why isn't the paper straw coming in a paper cup? This is an oxymoron this doesn't make sense. If you care about plastic, okay? If you care, paper cup, paper straw. If you don't care, which is my preference, plastic cup, plastic lid, plastic straw. You think you're doing something by giving me a poor drinking experience where halfway through this cup I can't even get the coffee out because it's leaking through the sides.

Joey (66:19)

What do you.

Ben (66:20)

Nuts?

Joey (66:21)

What are you nuts? How about paper cup and a paper straw? I'd rather take a bullet.

Ben (66:25)

Agreed. Agreed. No, you just take off the lid at that point and you chug it.

Joey (66:28)

Right. You don't know.

Ben (66:29)

Paper straw for us.

Joey (66:30)

No good. No good.

Ben (66:32)

Got one. Joey?

Joey (66:33)

Yeah, my. One of your nuts is in the grocery store. When there's a self checkout section and there's a line. There's like self checkout and regular lines.

Ben (66:41)

Yeah.

Joey (66:41)

And there's a line out the door and there's one. There's. There's some random employee like directing traffic and saying, oh no, come over here, come over here. And there's. There's a 40 person line. Instead of walking around and like telling people what to do, get behind the register and actually do something. It's like you're not. You, you sitting here like you know it's doing fake work. It's like there's no. You're not doing anything. Pissing people off. Get behind the register and start bringing people up. Or start bagging.

Ben (67:05)

I love it.

Joey (67:06)

Something.

Ben (67:07)

They gotta start bagging. They gotta go with the hand scanners and bag people in line.

Joey (67:11)

That's why I can't go to the grocery store anymore. I get in too many fights. I almost lost it at the Whole Food.

Ben (67:14)

You have to go. I knew you were talking about Whole Foods.

Joey (67:17)

Talking about Whole Foods.

Ben (67:18)

Whole Foods is a problem. Okay. You need to go during off peak hours. Yeah, that's the problem.

Joey (67:22)

I'm not going there anyway. I do only.

Ben (67:24)

You're going peak.

Joey (67:25)

I. I only do Instacart now. But if I do have to go to a store, I'll go somewhere where.

Ben (67:28)

They know manage Instacart Joey's that you can't get produce. They don't know how to shop banana. They give you a green one.

Josh Peck (67:35)

It's hard.

Ben (67:35)

What do I want? Banana in two weeks.

Joey (67:36)

You're so right to be on those spoiled.

Ben (67:39)

It's not right.

Joey (67:41)

I like going to Eli's.

Ben (67:42)

Eli's is fantastic.

Joey (67:43)

The best store to shop.

Ben (67:44)

That's very Ina the meats.

Joey (67:46)

The producer.

Ben (67:47)

And they're bread.

Joey (67:48)

Yes. They're Pan. Pan. Pan.

Josh Peck (67:54)

My woody nuts is the artichoke. I love an artichoke. It's a ridiculous vegetable.

Joey (67:58)

Yeah.

Josh Peck (67:59)

I had to teach my son how to eat it, which was what made me realize how ridiculous is. First of all, it's just a vessel for butter and. Or a remoulade.

Joey (68:07)

Yes.

Josh Peck (68:07)

Okay.

Ben (68:07)

The most delicious, though.

Josh Peck (68:09)

It's 90% throwaway.

Joey (68:10)

It is.

Josh Peck (68:11)

You don't eat 90% of it.

Joey (68:13)

The best part's the heart.

Ben (68:14)

The best part's the heart, but it is good. That said, I don't like that when you put them in a can, though. It's not the same thing when you make it fresh and you have that heart that's loaded with butter and freaking crumble. Breadcrumbs.

Joey (68:25)

Yeah. Just getting the heart out and breaking it down, that's just. That's like a. Winning the lottery as a job in and of itself. Yeah.

Ben (68:31)

The best artichoke. Pillstone.

Joey (68:33)

Can't get in there. I know I can't.

Ben (68:35)

It's the hardest restaurant in the city.

Joey (68:37)

You can. I had to put my name down for. It was two months. I have something in January that I just got, and it says, only next available in January. The Hillstone in New York City. What, are you nuts?

Josh Peck (68:46)

Yeah, the one on, like, 33rd.

Joey (68:47)

There's only one now.

Ben (68:48)

The other one, 27th Park. The one on 54th got sued. Yeah, somebody like that. I heard that they shut it down in the city court building, and that was a real loss to the community. We need two Hillstones.

Josh Peck (68:57)

Yeah.

Joey (68:57)

Who works at Hillstone? Anyone from the good guys mafia? What do you call your fans?

Ben (69:02)

The morons.

Joey (69:03)

The morons. Any morons working at the Hillstone, let me know. I'll be there in a hop, skip, and a jump. I'll come right over.

Ben (69:07)

Me, too.

Josh Peck (69:08)

You.

Ben (69:08)

I'll be in there.

Joey (69:08)

I want press sushi. I want the French dip.

Ben (69:10)

The omakase. Omakase. Osaka. Yeah, the Osaka style.

Joey (69:14)

Yep.

Ben (69:15)

I loved that series that you did with the. With the menus.

Joey (69:18)

Okay, I'll keep doing it.

Ben (69:19)

It's fun. I. I mean, I liked it.
