The following podcast is a dear media production.
Josh
Two Jews, both big and tall. No subject too small for the good guys. A mother's dream premium podcast team. Make it your weekly routine. It's a good guys. And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts? What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys. They're not the great guys. We're just the good of good of the good guys.
Ben
Masomorons.
Josh
Happy New Year.
Co-host
Happy New Year. New Year. New us. Same us. Same you but new Josh. New but the same God. Isn't it fantastic to be back?
Ben
Two new Jews.
Co-host
Two new Jews. Look, first and foremost, thank you all for just a gorgeous 2025. I hope that this year is your best year yet. I know it's going to be ours. Okay. I know it's going to be ours, Josh. And we just wanted to pop in and say, hey, hope you had a great. I hope you didn't drink too much last night. If you did though, you know, take your element. Feel good, hydrate, drink something, you know. Right, Josh?
Ben
Yeah, I think.
Co-host
Drink some water.
Ben
The truth is, this is not gonna be a full length episode. This is a little taste, it's a little bonus to say, listen, we're starting the new year right with the good guys.
Co-host
The good guys.
Ben
Ben's knee deep in a golf game right now. I'm sure he's got the beautiful Ruby packed up front and he's learned how to get his swing just right so that his bi. Bicep just kisses Ruby's head on his downswing. He's hitting 390 yards.
Co-host
You think we're working on New Year's Day? No, we're not. So enjoy it. Enjoy your New year. Happy New Year. And before we let you go, letting you know, we've read your comments. Josh in particular has read your comments and he's notified me that we're not topical enough. Ok? So this year we are going to be topical. You are going to hear from us in the moment. Not in the moment, but as close to the moment as we can possibly get with production. Ok?
Ben
Same damn close. Same record, same week. We will record week of, same air, week of.
Co-host
So no longer will you hear us talking about Thanksgiving on Christmas and Christmas on Easter. And you will hear us talking about Easter on Easter.
Ben
Remember, give us five stars. The ratings and the reviews help. And every week we're going to announce a special review from someone who only gives us five stars in the app. That's it. Spotify, Apple, you know where to do it. This one is from my Faves Forever. This is from bartender underscore EV3. My new toxic trait is saying brevity is key. Whenever anyone wants to tell me something, please go on tour and come to Nashville. Bartender, we're never coming to Nashville. But we love you.
Co-host
We're never coming to Nashville. But maybe we'll come to your bar. Actually, we probably won't. We're not going to Nashville.
Ben
You got good wings.
Co-host
You got the dream is dead. Oh, I'm so in starving. Let's go get some food.
Ben
Love you guys. Happy New Year. Thanks for listening, folks.
Co-host
This is five stars. Otherwise, what are you, nuts? Listen to us wherever you get your podcast. Watch us on YouTube, share our clips Instagram and TikTok Mondays and Thursdays 2026. See you next time.
Ben
Many Men Many, many, many, many men.

Podcast Summary: Good Guys – "New Year, New Guys" (Jan 1, 2026)
In this brief New Year's “bonus” episode, hosts Josh Peck (actor, writer) and Ben Soffer (entrepreneur, social media icon) ring in 2026 with humor, gratitude, and good-natured banter. They thank listeners for a great 2025, tease updates for the podcast in the coming year (including a promise to be more topical and timely), read out a reviewer’s comment, and crack jokes about Nashville, their podcasting habits, and post-New Year recovery.
The episode is breezy, lighthearted, and self-aware, with the hosts riffing on each other and playfully engaging with their fan base. As always, their exchanges are marked by good-natured Jewish humor and a healthy dose of self-deprecation—a hallmark of the “Good Guys” podcast dynamic.
For listeners: This bonus episode sets a fun, optimistic tone for the year ahead and teases improvements in show format, promising more timely and engaging content in 2026.
