Transcript

[Benny]

The following podcast is a dear media production.

[Josh]

Two Jews, both big and tall. No subject too small for the good guys.

[Benny]

A mother's dream premium podcast team.

[Josh]

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.

[Benny]

They're not the great guys.

[Josh]

We're just the good of the good guys. Whoa.

[Benny]

It's Benny and Josh. It's Benny and Josh. Benny is nesting. He's gonna have a baby. It's Benny and Josh.

[Josh]

It's Joshy and Benny and Benny and Josh. Joshy looks so good because he was just in a big show.

[Benny]

Big, big man. Wow. It's nice to do something people see.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah. And like, I loved. I was reading through the comments. It's like, way to spoil it for us. It's like, what are you, nuts? Like, I'm spoiling you to you that I'm cast in something. Like, you could also Google. It's also on IMDb. It's like, you know, that was strange.

[Benny]

Well, I think because they purposely didn't announce me in it because they wanted it to be like a shock when people saw it, that they weren't expecting it. But sure, it was on the show aired.

[Josh]

I'm allowed to say 100%. For those of you that don't know the last of us, Josh, he made a wonderful cameo. He was ripped as hell. That's why he wasn't telling us that. That's why he was getting some big ass arms. Right? He wasn't telling us that. That's why he was starting to look like. Like a tiny dancer. Tiny means big. You know, like whenever somebody's named tiny means that they're huge, right? Yes, Right. Your nickname now is Tiny.

[Benny]

If you're regularly breaking chairs at the Waffle House and someone calls you Tiny, it's ironic.

[Josh]

It's ironic. Exactly. It's ironic. Nobody's ever ironically called me Tiny, by the way. They're always. They're always just brutally honest. You're huge.

[Benny]

They're just giving you the backup, the backup horn. What would be the red line that you were in a. That you were dangerously big? Like, what would have to happen for you to hit a bottom and go, oh, my God, like, would it be breaking a chair?

[Josh]

Oh, no, no. Because, like, I would blame the chair. Like, this wasn't built right.

[Benny]

What is this IKEA bullshit Pine?

[Josh]

You never know what kind of chair. Honestly. Speaking of chairs, Claudia and I went to Central park on Saturday, and we instacarted a couple of these lawn chairs. Some people call them camp chairs from target. Got them. 24.99. I expected it to be a regular sized chair. This chair, Josh, was far too small. Who's a tiny, tiny chair? Which isn't right. Like, you need to make these chairs big enough for people to sit. I digress. I thought you were asking about the weights that I would need to be. Where. It's like drawing a line in the center.

[Benny]

The sign.

[Josh]

The sign is if I become uncomfortable again on an airplane, if I'm sitting in coach and I'm uncomfortable, the first sign is that I'm sitting in coach. Yeah. Then if I'm uncomfortable sitting in coach, crying, eating Cheetos. Like, but, like, right now, I'm fully. My hips are cozy in coach. The seatbelt is just. It's not even a. It's not even a thought. But at one point it was like, oh, this is tight. I'm getting in tight. I never needed an extender. That's. That's like, if you catch me with a seatbelt extender, know that I'm about to do something drastic. Yeah. But, yeah, that would be the sign. If I'm no longer comfortable sitting in coach.

[Benny]

If they offer the extender without asking, oh, my God. If they assume. If they're like, hey, tiny, here you go. Here's an extra three feet.

[Josh]

It's awful. It's happened to me before. I've had that. I've had it asked like, hey, do you want to see belly extender? It's like, hey, you want my foot in your ass? Fucking bitch. Like, are you kidding me?

[Benny]

And like, and when you bring the drink card around, please fill my cup up with cyanide.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah. Just awful. Awful. Speaking of planes, Josh, Newark Airport. I hope they have it figured out by the time this podcast episode releases. But I texted you. I was very upset that they canceled my flight. I was flying home. I was supposed to fly home from Charleston to Newark at night, and they canceled it. Right. And now it comes out. The New York Post says that they heard a report from the FAA that they're saying that Newark is an unsafe airport. That's scary.

[Benny]

So what happened exactly? An air traffic controller. Like, there was a whistleblower. There was a call for help. There was an SOS from Tower 2. Oh, my God. Can you imagine that? Ryan Murphy's new show, SOS from Tower.

[Josh]

2.

[Benny]

Right after Shouties of the Night.

[Josh]

Yeah. No, that would be a wonderful show. And, yeah, I think that's exactly what happened. I think that there was a whistleblower in Tower 2. He's like, we don't have enough people to properly control the traffic. That's what I hear is happening. Lack of staff. I don't get that. Like, how is that possible? How do you not have enough staff? I don't claim to know anything on the topic, so I really don't know how to speak on it. It just seems very obvious that you would want not too much staff, but appropriate, competent staff doing something like air traffic control, which is like the, they're the, they're the eyes on the ground. Like they, these pilots fly blinds trusting air traffic control. Oh, we can't see, but we don't have anything on the radar. You know, like, they trust them and now they can't be trusted.

[Benny]

It's wild. I mean, you know, obviously people bring up Doge and all these sort of political moves over the last couple months that they've been getting rid of a lot of federal employees. But then you hear the retort to that, which is like, no, the problem is, is that we don't have enough great people, like in their 50s and 60s, with 20 plus years of experience working there. I don't know, but it doesn't. It seems bad. You can have that problem, you know, in Bismarck, but Newark, our greatest port.

[Josh]

City, it seems really bad. And it's also just to your point before, like, I don't know what the reason is, Doge, whatever it may be, it seems like something that you might want to figure the fuck out and quickly. Like, whatever it is, like, this isn't like, oh, this part of the government is failing, so they're going to make less money. This is. This part of the government is failing and people are going to die. Like, the FAA not being qualified is an enormous problem. I don't know how to fix it. I would think that somebody going in there with a, like a hard punch. I literally punched like this and I hurt my hand. Like, they come in with a strong fist and they're like, let's. Let's train these people. Let's figure this out. I don't know how to solve it, but it's a big problem. Big problem, Joshi. Big problem.

[Benny]

And recently, as in two days ago, a Cessna plane landed at the Riviera Country Club Golf Course in Brentwood, California. You saw this?

[Josh]

I saw this. I saw this. I saw this and that.

[Benny]

It's a pretty amazing landing.

[Josh]

No, it's pretty amazing that it was caught on camera when somebody was like, Trying to film their friend, like, swinging. Yeah. It's like he's like, trying to like, film his, like, great golf shot. And all of a sudden you just see a plane. Imagine landing on the course.

[Benny]

Like, Mark Wahlberg gets out of the plane and you just hear him go, I was late for my tea time. Yeah, he loves golf that much.

[Josh]

I also would love to see just like the greenskeepers reaction. Like, fuck. Like, he just, like, he just got finished making that green. Perfect. It's the beginning of the season, and now all of a sudden, there's skid marks all over the floor. Like, I just had a burrito.

[Benny]

I mean, I like, I've played in a celebrity tournament at Riviera Country Club, or Riv, as we members call it. And ask me a Riv. And by the way, I didn't hit a single ball because I was so embarrassed about how bad I was. And I was like, I'll just ride on the cart. So I wrote on the cart. And. And I will never forget that our caddy was Mark Wahlberg's caddy. And apparently because Riviera, I believe, is like half a million dollars just to join, you know, so much money every. Every year. Very said.

[Josh]

That was funny not to cut you off. Yeah. Our caddy was Mark Wahlberg's caddy. Like, is your. Is your nurse also Obama's nurse?

[Benny]

Like, maybe.

[Josh]

I thought you were going to say your caddy was Mark. Mark Wahlberg. I was like, oh, my goodness, his caddy. No, that's still impressive. Continue.

[Benny]

Well, it's his caddy that he uses because apparently he goes every day when he's in town at like 6am he plays 18 holes quick in like two hours, and then he takes his caddy out for breakfast every morning.

[Josh]

Wow.

[Benny]

And. And also, you know what I thought was effing cool? His caddy was ripping darts. Can you imagine being able to smoke on the job?

[Josh]

Yeah. Yeah. It's caddies that smoke. So I've met my fair share of crazy caddies. Okay? The one, the good. Like, the good, normal caddies, they're cool. They're not too uptight. They're great at their job. But, yeah, they always have an extra cigarette for you. They're always loaded up with teas and an extra pencil, and they know the course. But I've had crazy caddies. I've had. I played at a. At a friend's course once, and the caddy asked me if he should pick me up blow. He's like, hey, man, I got a great blow connect. I'M like, are you, Are you okay? It's. Are you okay?

[Benny]

Ben, I thought you golled that I said no.

[Josh]

That I said no. Yeah, bro, I thought you like to.

[Benny]

Have a little fun every now and then. Boys trip.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah. Boys trip to Montclair, New Jersey. Like, okay, this guy needs to relax.

[Benny]

Have you ever gotten caked up going to fucking Short Hills mall all ripped out on white lady?

[Josh]

Yeah. Yeah, I like white lady.

[Benny]

Ooh. You ever go to a Ruby Toosies all gacked up, hitting the salad bar while you're ripped to the gills.

[Josh]

Benny and Joshy ripped to the gills. Benny and Joshy getting white lady. Benny and Joshy playing some golf on rippers.

[Benny]

Benny and Joshie on that booger sugar. Benny and Joshy ripping rails in the bathroom of a Ruby Tuesdays and going to the salad bar. The pasta salad is dope. It is good. Oh, they do it with shells.

I have a business venture that I'd like to talk to you about.

[Benny]

Okay, Give it to me.

[Josh]

I don't have a name for it yet. And the problem is this idea is so good. It is so good that somebody is going to steal it. So we might have to cut this out. Ok, Temporary name. The salad bar. It is Cold Stone Creamery, Bregg salad, tuna salad and chicken salad.

[Benny]

You've pitched this? I pitched you last week, within the last 30 days, but keep going.

[Josh]

I pitched it already.

[Benny]

Keep going. Not.

[Josh]

No, I didn't cross it off my list. I pitched it.

[Benny]

You did pitch it, but not. Not in this. Not in this way.

[Josh]

It was a quick pitch. It wasn't pitched like this. Okay, all right, all right. It's fine. I saw a neurologist. I'm all good.

[Benny]

No, you didn't.

[Josh]

I did. My brain is fine. Next time you slip up, I'm going to call you out. You could have just let it go, but people forgot, Josh.

[Benny]

They're calling it out of their cars right now. Someone did a Subaru going, the kid needs an MRI.

[Josh]

Great. That is called engagement, Josh. The YouTube views through the roof. When I forget, I'm going to pretend that I never heard this. Okay, it is Cold Stone Creamery, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad. You walk in, it is a cold slated plank. You're going to say, I want tuna. Josh, they're going to take tuna. You're then going to say, okay. Or what toppings would you like? Banana, peppers, cucumbers? Would you like some celery? Would you like some Worcestershire? Would you like some mayonnaise? Would you like some mustard? Would you like some outlandish? Maybe a little buffalo sauce? Okay, put all those in. Salt, pepper, mix it all up. You want it just a scoop. Maybe we name it Just a Scoop. Okay. Or do you want it perhaps on a sandwich? We have a collection of breads. Package it up, you're out the door. It's called the salad bar.

[Benny]

I think it'll do well in Great Neck, Long Island.

[Josh]

Who doesn't love. Who doesn't love a scoop of tuna or a scoop of egg salad or a scoop of chicken salad? Olivia, do you love those things?

[Olivia]

I like chicken salad.

[Benny]

You're asking this gentile what kind of salad she likes?

[Josh]

No, she likes chicken salad.

[Benny]

This gentile is not your advocate, my friend. She is not your ally.

[Josh]

How do you take your chicken salad, Olivia?

[Benny]

The way it comes. Am I right?

[Josh]

How do you take it, Olivia?

[Olivia]

I like a chicken salad sandwich. I like a chicken salad sandwich. On like a sourdough of some kind. Something crunchy. Yeah, yeah, that's how I'll take it.

[Josh]

Excellent. And when you're ordering your chicken salad, what are you looking for from a consistency perspective? From a vegetables perspective?

[Benny]

Oh my gosh.

[Josh]

What makes your perfect chicken salad? I'll answer.

[Benny]

Olivia. She's never thought about it.

[Josh]

She thought about it. What makes your perfect chicken salad?

[Benny]

It's too Semitic of you, my boy. You gotta understand, only you are. You're blinded by the Jew.

[Josh]

I'm telling you. You're blinded by the Jew. You're seeing this new Jewish lens, Olivia. I'm telling. No, Olivia's thought about this before.

[Benny]

She's thought about the Jew look, revved.

[Josh]

Up like a Jew.

[Olivia]

I haven't thought about it before, but I'm thinking about it right now. And it's the crunch to mush ratio. It's. It's a crunch. See, Josh, It's a crunch to mush.

[Benny]

It's just. Cause you're her boss, you like mush.

[Josh]

The only reason why you like more crunch or more mush?

[Olivia]

More crunch. More crunch, Less mushroom. Always for me. Any category?

[Josh]

Excellent, Olivia.

[Olivia]

Sorry, Josh.

[Benny]

It's meshuggah.

[Josh]

Sorry, Josh.

[Benny]

No one thinks about it as much as you or our people about the consistency of the egg salad scoop.

[Josh]

Ok, what about. Josh, if you think that it's very Jewish, then why does Subway have tuna on their menu?

[Benny]

Well, everyone eats tuna. But they're. They're not.

[Josh]

Right?

[Benny]

They're not.

[Josh]

They're not customiz. They're not into customizing their tuna.

[Benny]

No. They're not reverse engineering it like you.

[Josh]

Okay. All right. So I take. I take it that you want no part of this venture. I understand. This will be a solo venture.

[Benny]

It sounds like a feature, not an app. Does that make sense?

[Josh]

Interesting. I bet you somebody said the same thing about Cold Stone. Josh, who needs to customize their ice cream? They have briars.

[Benny]

I think.

[Josh]

I think nobody thinks about this.

[Benny]

I think Cold Stone's struggling.

[Josh]

They definitely are struggling now. They weren't struggling for 30 years. They were printing cash.

[Benny]

I don't know. They're not around much anymore.

[Josh]

Everything must come to an end, Josh. Everything. Including this podcast.

[Benny]

Dude, you're crazy. Oh, my gosh.

[Josh]

Wow.

[Benny]

I don't Even know if I've ever thought about it. Because there's things like ice cream or, like, pokey or, like, even yogurt. Like, you assume like a change to the. Not a change, but toppings are a part of it. You don't think about that with tuna or chicken salad or egg salad.

[Josh]

I agree. Until now. Maybe not, though.

[Benny]

But maybe not.

[Josh]

Maybe not for sure. I'm not saying we go and open 300 locations. I'm saying I start with a nice location on Mercer Street. See how it does. And this. I'm telling you, Josh, I'm telling you, you never thought about putting grapes in your chicken salad until now.

[Benny]

Ugh. Disgusting.

[Josh]

So good. You have no idea.

[Benny]

No, thank you.

[Josh]

You're. You're pitch me your quick serve concept, Josh. Out of the box, nothing. Of course I could say, oh, good guy. Subs. We're gonna compete against Subway? No, Something out of the box. Original. New. I'm trying to think, and it's tough to put you on the spot. I understand. I totally understand this. This isn't a quick thing, but I would.

[Benny]

I guess what you don't see a lot of is, like, I love a Middle Eastern rap or, like, a Mediterranean rap. I love. No, but I love, like. What I'm saying is if you could take, like, the best. I feel like there are many different ethnicities or ethnic cuisine that has great rap, does great rap game. Yes, but they're not all in one place. Right? So if you could get, like, a Chinese chicken salad wrap of, like, beautiful, like, koso, like that Chinese coleslaw with, like, a beautiful spicy peanut bite, really good grilled chicken, like, not rubbery and weird. Then you could in the same place, getting a killer chicken Caesar wrap, but, like, proper and, like, elevated with, like, some kind of those crispy parmesan bits in it. So there's a textural hit. You know, I'm a texture guy. Then you can also get incredible, like, shawarma, falafel, tahina, like, like, proper. You're in Tel Aviv at midnight and you need something to, like, sop up some of the alcohol. Like, I would like to see them. And then maybe an Indian wrap. Like, just one place where you can get multiple wraps, I think would be good. Does that exist?

[Josh]

Great wraps? I don't think it exists at scale. I love it. You brought up a Chinese chicken salad, John. So I just want you to know that you can get that customizable at my restaurant. You're going to walk in, you're going to order the chicken they're going to put cubed chicken on. You're going to throw in because these are toppings, Josh. Mandarin oranges. You're going to throw in Napa cabbage. You're going to throw in Chinese noodles.

[Benny]

Can you imagine, Olivia? Kidmashuga Mandarin oranges in a wrap.

[Josh]

Chinese noodles. Chinese noodles. You are going to add in some mayonnaise, maybe a hit of acid and it is going to be supreme.

[Benny]

I say you open this chain, but it's only for nursing homes. You'll kill it.

[Josh]

You offer an option for them where it's heavily blended.

[Benny]

Yes, heavily blended. Maybe you do some with like Coumadin in it. You know that's a special ingredient. Blood thinners. You hide their meds in the wraps. Oh my God.

[Josh]

Perfect.

[Benny]

You know they don't want to take their meds.

[Josh]

It's a great idea. It's a great idea. Going to the nursing homes. The nursing home community. I'm in. Maybe I turn this into a cart. It's on the go. I drive it around. Want just a scoop? Love it.

[Benny]

You know what, speaking of nursing homes I gotta say, I'm due for a good Shiva. Hear me out.

[Josh]

Oh, my. I need. Be careful. Those things come in threes. Be careful.

[Benny]

God forbid. But, you know, like, there is nothing like the spread. And for people who don't know, a Shiva is basically for. What is it, 10 days after?

[Josh]

No, like, it's seven days after, immediately after.

[Benny]

It's. It's actually a wonderful thing in the Jewish religion. Obviously, other religions do a version of it, but it's like an elongated wake memorial. People come to the. To the bereaved people's house. They bring huge spreads of food. Technically, you're supposed to sit on the floor, but it's a way to keep food. Food and community going for people that are suffering a loss.

[Josh]

Now, wait till I tell you about the bris, Josh. You can celebrate life with the same spread.

[Benny]

You gave us the spread. But I want to hear.

[Josh]

No, no, I'm just telling you.

[Benny]

Yes, I'm ready. Great.

[Josh]

No, because you said, I'm looking forward to a Shiva. I'm saying you can also look forward to a bris and get the same spread.

[Benny]

I love it. Maybe we call it a brissa. And we have the Shiva for the foreskin.

[Josh]

Oh, yes. Rest in peace. Ooh, Ooh. Rest in. Yeah. Rest in single peace. We could also start a beef jerky business. Just the foreskin. Yuck. You know, that's a thing now with foreskin jerky. That's disgusting.

[Benny]

I'll look it up. You know, that's a thing with skin care now, which is salmon. Salmon ejaculate on your face.

[Josh]

Really?

[Benny]

Yeah, dog.

[Josh]

That sounds. That sounds kind of interesting. I'm down, right?

[Benny]

Speaking of.

[Josh]

I'm down to have a salmon bust all over my face for the smooth skin.

[Benny]

Okay, here we go. A salmon egg facial, also known as pdrn, or polynucleotide treatment involves injecting salmon DNA into the skin. The treatment aims to stimulate skin repair, regeneration, and collagen production by utilizing the DNA building compounds found in salmon sperm.

[Josh]

Okay, okay. Imagine I got pregnant from salmon sperm.

[Benny]

Can you imagine?

[Josh]

I can't. For a number of reasons, I can't.

[Benny]

That'd be crazy.

[Josh]

Speaking of facials, have you ever. Are you an acne person? You ever have acne?

[Benny]

Luckily, no. It's like the one thing like that God was kind to the fat kids.

[Josh]

Same. Yeah. No acne. Zilch.

[Benny]

Yeah. The universe demands balance.

[Josh]

I wonder, because I don't remember. It's very rare that you find a big fat fatty with acne that's just like a Very sad circumstance stance. I wonder if there's something related, Josh, to higher levels of triglycerides preventing acne.

[Benny]

Actually, higher triglycerides does lead to some discoloration in skin facial tissue. I think it's because God knows that I've always been so close to unaliving myself that if I got put on Accutane, it would just be it.

[Josh]

When I was gonna call you out on this last time, when did you start using on a live.

[Benny]

When I don't want this show to get demonetized on YouTube so that.

[Josh]

So the full. The full word would hurt us on YouTube?

[Benny]

No. Well, I don't know, but I do know that fine.

[Josh]

Can we come up with something else? Something clever in substitute for the big word, starting with a K and ending with an S just in case it demonetizes us instead of unaliving. Let's see.

[Benny]

Swan song. The big goodbye.

[Josh]

The big goodbye. The big goodbye. I like.

[Benny]

I'd big goodbye myself.

[Josh]

I big goodbye myself. I always say that I'd. You can catch me in a cab on my way to the top of the gw. That's what I. I'd say that.

[Benny]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I don't know, swan dive off the gw.

[Benny]

If I could, if I had to bid goodbye myself, it'd be with Xanax and beer.

[Josh]

Big goodbye. I love it.

[Benny]

If I Josh.

[Josh]

Josh Peck is the big goodbye.

[Benny]

Yeah. If I big goodbye myself, it's going to be with a shot of fentanyl in a White Castle, you know?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Benny]

In the dining area, because no one, no one eats there. So could you imagine, you like, you walk in, clams are back, you know?

[Josh]

Clams. The clams are back.

[Benny]

And you look in the dining area, you're like, is that Josh Peck nodded off in the corner? Yeah, yeah, it's me.

[Josh]

The last clam.

[Benny]

There's some places where like sitting in the dining area of a KFC will definitely make you wonder about your life choices.

[Josh]

Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Dining in at fast food is an experience. And it's funny, at one point, it used to be the best experience. Josh, you'd roll in two o' clock in the morning, pick up some gorgeous McDonald's, sit there, lick, literally lick clean the sweet and sour container. But now popping in there at 3 o' clock on a Wednesday, it just doesn't hit the same.

[Benny]

Right. Well. And the only thing about McDonald's is that they usually have the play place for kids. So growing up, like a trip to Mickey D's, doing that was incredible. But I Just most of this food is better enjoyed in the dark.

[Josh]

Yes, it's better enjoyed in the dark. Alone, shirtless.

[Benny]

The great Joey Commasta has brought up this point and I would love to know what you think. And you totally qualify because you're an amazing chef and Joey's a great chef. He says the only thing I will doordash is fast food because I can't make that. But pretty much everything takeout that I could order from a restaurant would be better if I made it.

[Josh]

Yeah, I would agree. I think that certain fast food chains to me have just, I don't know, just like quality has just gone downhill. I was going to ask you, it's, it's a big question. But we look at food across or we look at the changes in food across the whole landscape where we're just getting more aware and healthier across the board. Like when is that going to happen to these fast food chains? It's going to happen like when are you going to walk in and McDonald's hamburger is just not going to be this like delicious but like disgusting ingredients. Sorry if they were a sponsor. But like it's just, it just, it's just different. Like I think that, I think that we're like taking a deep look at all food. When are we going to take a deep look at fast food? When do you think it's going to happen? Like if you look at Poppy for example, Poppy being acquired by Pepsi for 2 billion because it's 4 grams of sugar. Soda put to hit on a kingpin, Pepsi, where if you ask this 10 years ago, what's going to, what's going to start to come up in, in soda? You would have said nothing could compare to Pepsi, right? But clearly Pepsi thinks that maybe a gut health drink. Could you see that happening to fast food?

[Benny]

I think the problem is, is that whenever I've gone for fast food as of lately, if I order like a proper meal, like fries and a drink and like a good size like a 10 piece nugget or whatever, it's $15, right? So it used to be like it's Almost, it's maybe 2 1/2 x what it was growing up when we were kids, I feel like you could get like a number one at McDonald's for like under six bucks. You could, you could. And so now at 15, my only wonder is what does that bring the price point up to if they started subbing out healthier ingredients.

[Josh]

It's actually interesting because the price has more than doubled, but the ingredients have stayed the Same to an extent.

[Benny]

Right. Like, yeah, you.

[Josh]

I would say they could have even gotten worse. Like, I would assume ingredients over time have probably gotten worse.

[Benny]

I don't know. Like, my kids obviously eat a lot of cereal because their kids. And you always see that on Instagram. Right? Like the list of ingredients that's in American Honey Nut, Cheerios, as opposed to Canadian or European. Right. And same cereal, it does taste the same. But, like, why just in America does it require all these? So I. I tend to do that side by side ingredient check. Cereals gotten much better. Like, American cereal has so much less. Granted, there's probably still GMO in it to a certain extent. Like, I don't know. But then there's the people who go, if you eat banana, it's genetically modified. If you eat corn, it's like, nothing is what it was a hundred years ago.

[Josh]

I don't even look for that stuff. Maybe this is just me. The only thing I'm looking for these days is added sugar. I'm looking for me personally, if I were to have a cereal in the morning with 30 grams of added sugar, I would be asleep. Maybe that's a personal thing, but personally, added sugar is what destroys me. If I have anything with natural sugar, I'm great. I told you, I'm having six dates a day. God knows how much sugar I'm ingesting. I'm not crashing the way that I would crash if I had added sugar.

[Benny]

Yeah, look, it's also picking the right things to replace and to spend money on and to make better in ingredients for things like fast food. Like, I know you and I have had this debate before, and I think it's a hot issue, but I love listening to this guy, Dr. Michael Isratel, who. I've sent you his pod before, but.

[Josh]

I listen, I listened to it, that episode that you sent me.

[Benny]

And he has a PhD in nutrition. And, like, he's really a brilliant guy. And he's like, if you can avoid seed oils, fair enough. But I'm paraphrasing. Here he goes. There's no substantial studies, not even close, that they're bad for you. Like, not even close. But if you only looked at Instagram or you only have one echo chamber, you would think this is, I mean, acid. But he's like, there's just. There's not a single substantial study to say that seed oils are hurting people and it's what they use in mass number.

[Josh]

But I'd also love to know and wow, this podcast, you can't get this anywhere.

[Benny]

Else I know.

[Josh]

Inflammation. Josh, seed oils, the claim is that they cause inflammation, right? You know, over here, I counteract inflammation with turmeric and with oil of oregano. These are proven ways to lower inflammation. Proven. You can look it up. Proven. I'm just wondering if you have seed oils, can you just also pop a turmeric and you're. You're all good. Like, instead of eliminating. Instead of eliminating seed oils, there's a very, very large, expensive process. Can we not just educate on how to rebalance your inflammation was my question.

[Benny]

Maybe.

[Josh]

Is that a. Is that an easier solve?

[Benny]

Maybe. I mean, I guess you would have to see how. If there was a way to measure exactly how much it was impacting you with inflammation, the seed oil, and how much it counteracts with something like turmeric. Like, how effective are truly both of these things in a deleterious way with the seed oil and in a positive way with turmeric?

[Josh]

Yes. Shout out turmeric. Shout out oil of oregano. And lastly, Josh, you know what? I started this morning again. I'm giving it another chance. Saffron, lions. Lion's mane. Lion's mane. Lion's mane. I'm back, baby. I'm back. We're gonna give it a full week this time. Last time, I gave it four days. And I do hear that the benefits only come after, like, a month of using it. So right now, I'm in the honeymoon placebo phase. That said, my brain is firing.

[Benny]

You're like, I've decided to start trying Lowry's seasoning salt. I figure if dill is good, seasoning salt is better.

[Josh]

What. What cuisine uses the most turmeric? Is it, like, Pakistani? I've decided to eat exclusively Pakistani food. Right. I'm in.

[Benny]

What do you think about. This was another Lowry.

[Josh]

Did you see that? McCormick was like, asking, like, what blends should we make next? Like, a turmeric oil of oregano lines main blend. Yeah. That I can top on my. Put on my chicken.

[Benny]

Probably be good.

[Josh]

Delish.

[Benny]

Lish, what do you think? Dr. Israel also put up this post where he was like, you are getting fat from too much yummy food. He's like, that's it. He's like, fast food is ubiquitous, junk food. All these things. He's like, yeah. He's like, obviously those things aren't great for you. He's like, but mostly what people are getting fat from is just like, too much yummy pasta, too much yummy rice, too much yummy pizza. Like, it's good food. It can be well made, but it's calorically dense and. And you eat too much of it.

[Josh]

That is the single. That is the only reason people are fat is too much food. I was talking about this with my dad yesterday, but even good quality food.

[Benny]

Is what I'm saying.

[Josh]

Anything. Yes, Right, right. Any. Too much. Too much food in general, it's not quality for sure. Quality plays a role in how you feel, but in terms of how much you weigh and how fat you are, it's intake. I was talking to my dad about this, who's lost, like £80 on Ozempic. He looks fantastic. And he's at dinner with a large individual, a friend who said Ozempic didn't work for him. Whatever, he didn't do it. But he's a big, big, big guy. Big guy. And they're at a Chinese restaurant and he ordered steamed chicken and broccoli. No sauce, steamed chicken and broccoli. And my dad said to me, he's like, you know, I ate regular food. He got chow fun. He got whatever he ate, what his body on Ozempic would let him eat. And the guy who ordered the steamed chicken and broccoli ate three times the amount of food as him. And in his head, he's thinking to himself, I'm eating better stuff. I'm going to lose weight. And it's like, no, not if you're eating chicken and broccoli for three. It doesn't matter if there's no sauce on it. It's too much food. It's too much food.

[Benny]

That really just gives me flashbacks of my mom ordering Chinese food when I was a kid because she was perpetually on some version of a diet. And she would go, I'll have the chicken and broccoli. No sauce, no cornstarch.

[Josh]

Also, cornstarch. Shout out unbelievable ingredients.

[Benny]

My favorite starch.

[Josh]

If you want 30 calories to literally take anything from liquidy to just velvety, a little cornstarch, slurry in anything. Chili, pasta, Chinese stir fry, you name it. Cornstarch is heavenly.

[Benny]

Do you add cornstarch and or MSG to your lovely wife's chicken rocks? Favorite dinner?

[Josh]

I add cornstarch every single time to.

[Benny]

Her chicken rocks because it's just an Asian stir fry.

[Josh]

Basically, it's just an Asian stir fry. The main ingredient is soy sauce. And when you add in a little water with a little cornstarch, it just makes it velvety. That, like, beautiful thickness comes from cornstarch. God, I love cornstarch. Folks, this episode of the Good Guys podcast is Brought to you by our friends, Gopure.

[Benny]

Well, a wedding guest slam brides for the tackiest not tying trend yet. A hard no for most people. Forget wedding bells. All these brides are hearing is Cha Ching. Attending weddings is a costly adventure in itself. But that only scratches the surface of what the bride's closest friends have to dish out. Brides these days are expecting even more in a new trend. The brides to be are now including their Venmo usernames on invitation, signage, merch and social media. Asking people to Venmo the bride. Olivia, how we feeling about this? And what's your Venmo? Because we're gonna have to put it on your invites one day.

[Olivia]

I've seen like a couple Friends of mine or like former classmates in high school go on their bachelor's and like drop their Venmo on like their Instagram story and say like, buy the bride a drink or something. Which I think like, that's like, I sent some money to her. I sent like, you know her, like 15 bucks or something. 20 bucks was like, have a fun night, whatever, this one's on me. But it was like her friends sharing that, you know, like the other bridesmaids were posting that she did repost. But I don't know. I think it's if you're the one doing it yourself too. I don't know. I know it's like basically the same thing, but. But I rather somebody else put that out there, if at all.

[Josh]

It's tacky.

[Olivia]

Yeah, it's tacky.

[Josh]

It's tacky. I don't know, like everybody's entitled to a bachelor bachelorette party, but like, I don't know why you can't just like get a handle and go to somebody's house. Yeah, like, like why can't you do something that's like within your means as opposed to making your friends feel bad publicly and venmoing you to go outside of your means. It's just like a strange. The public element is weird. Like if I have a friend who can't afford something, I would hope that he would come to me and I could help him and then we could make a great experience together. Like, I have friends like that. But like the public element of it is just very. I don't like it at all. It feels slimy.

[Benny]

That's my issue too with. I'm not kidding you when I tell you that dozens of requests a week come in to my social medias about people asking me for money. And while I feel bad for anyone struggling, I think it's a waste of time to spend that time asking random social media people who have no way of vetting you. And I'm sure that the MrBeast or the David Dobriks of the world and these charitable videos that they do, which are incredible, but I do know how much vetting and backgrounding goes into making sure that those people are true to their story and their need. And it's just like, I feel like my only suggestion is, is that I don't know how effective it is because someone like me or most people, we don't have any way of making sure that it's real. And, and I'm talking, obviously they're the ones that are, you know, terrible acts of God. But some people, it's just like, hey, man, I need like 600 bucks for rent. I'm like, dog, stop. Go do Uber Eats and stop spending your time dming. Like, you can make that quick, I promise.

[Josh]

Yeah. And it's, it's, it's very. It's very, very strange. And it's also like, why are you the person responsible for doing that? Like, I saw a video. I think it was like a Jimmy Darts, like one of those, like, amazing charitable accounts. And he went into a store and it's a Sprouts employee. Did you see this video?

[Benny]

This was awesome.

[Josh]

Yes. So there was a guy who was homeless but working at Sprouts. And Jimmy ended up raising like a hundred grand for him through crowdfunding. And the guy can now not live on the streets. But like, the fact that all every single person at Sprouts knew within that. I'm not blaming corporate. Every single person at that location celebrated the fact that he was no longer homeless. Meaning that they knew that an employee at Sprouts was homeless and they didn't tell corporate. Or worse, they told corporate. And corporate has homeless employees and doesn't do anything about it.

[Benny]

You think it happens more than you think.

[Josh]

But how does a corporate company like Sprouts. Sprouts is enormous. For those of you that don't know, this is not one is hundreds of stores. How do you have homeless employees? If they're good enough to work at your store, you need to get them a house. I've never. It's. It's mind blowing to me that that happens. And so the reason I bring that up is because it's really nice that Jimmy used his platform and we all crowdfunded 100 grand for this guy. But Sprout should feel like shit and Sprout should double it. And Sprout should come in and say, this is one of our own. We trust him with our customers. We're going to make sure he doesn't live on the streets. He has to shower at a gym. I was just. I was blown away.

[Benny]

I completely agree with your sentiment. And I think it happens way more than you think with many, many major corporations. And I think that's always the debate and sadly it does become political. Right? But I think when they see major CEOs and founders and chairmans who make billions of dollars a year, I think the thought is, is like. And they find different tax loopholes when, of course, they are adding to the economy by employing people and they are helping boost the economy, without a doubt. But I think the thought is, is like if that same CEO can get all the benefits of capitalism, but Instead of making 10 billion that year, they get 8 billion. And that 2 billion is distributed amongst all their, you know, tens of thousands employees so that they can make a living wage. A lot of these people can work 50 to 60 hours a week if they're making minimum wage and not make over the poverty line like, and they're working full time jobs.

[Josh]

Yeah. So what needs to happen? Just because again, it's not political, but it's not the government's job to do that. It's the person's job. They need to have a fucking heart. And I think that there are probably plenty of CEOs that we don't know of or at least I hope that do this. I hope that the CEO and owner of Carl's Jr knows if there are 15 homeless employees and pays for them to have houses. If this is a thing. And CEOs that are again, raking. And we're not talking about the mom and pop CEO here. I'm not talking about the person that makes $500,000 and now I'm asking them to give half of that away to help employees. I'm talking about the Jeff Bezos of the world who are raking it in. If Jeff Bezos has a homeless employee, that would be horrible.

[Benny]

But they do.

[Josh]

So then he needs to pay for.

[Benny]

It, but so does Walmart. Like, and that they should.

[Josh]

So they should. But we need to create. This is the narrative. It's not. The narrative is always. You sort of went into it. It's like these guys need to be taxed appropriately so somebody third party can go and help these people. And it's like maybe they'll help them or maybe they won't. Maybe it will lead to more misappropriation of funds. These people just need to be good human beings. And I hope that they are. And if there are any homeless employees.

[Benny]

But they're not there, they're not. They don't like. But there's no. We're just having a healthy debate here. There's no data to suggest your point that they will all of a sudden get a wave of morality. There's no data to support it because of where there are. Where I promise you, there are thousands of people that have to live in their car and work a full work week at a major corporation.

[Josh]

But most companies ask for where you live. So these people are lying. This is what I'm trying.

[Benny]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Okay, so then how is that the CEO to know that they're lying.

[Benny]

Again, to your point. And I guess I just don't know anyone but the government who would be able to enforce it is. It's like the idea of unions, right? And again, this becomes incredibly contentious, but this is why there would. Unions are fine, but the greatest union in the world is the federal government. And if there was a minimum wage that became a living wage, that no matter what, no matter where you work, you make $25 an hour at a minimum or $30 an hour, then all of a sudden we don't need unions, which by the way, every corporation hates and we don't need these. So I think we, if we have these bare minimum rules, then to your point, then the CEO doesn't have to look into exactly where they live and where they're culpable.

[Josh]

I would just love to know. I hear all of your points. I don't disagree. I would just love to know if there's a charity whose sole purpose is making sure that people with full time jobs aren't homeless. And if that doesn't exist, that should exist because working a full time job at Sprouts, having a full time seven days a week, he's making a living wage, I'm sure. And homeless is terrible.

[Benny]

Benny and Josh. Josh.

[Josh]

Started this episode talking about buying drugs at the golf course, ended with it on tax reform and eat the rich.

[Benny]
