Transcript

[Ben]

This is it.

[Josh]

So I'm with my kids in line at Costco. There's always a line for the gas, but the gas, as we know, I can be quite frugal. But I just think it's being smart. If you have a SUV, you probably have a 20 gallon tank. Now, no matter what, Costco is going to be $1 less a gallon. So people always give me a hard time. Like, you go to Costco to fill up. Like, isn't it inconvenient? It can be. But if it's the only place you go, that means you're saving 20 bucks every time. Like, that's real money.

[Ben]

And so it's not you being frugal. By the way, I'll always call you out. That's. That's you being smart. No, that's smart. And you have a Costco card, you pay for it. It's like being a member of a club and not going. You should go. Yeah, for it.

[Josh]

If you're in the mood for a hot dog, go Costco. They're taking a loss. They're taking a loss on the gas.

[Ben]

They're taking a loss on everything, Josh. Almost everything. Their. Their entire operation is to break even. And they make all the money, billions a year on the fee for the membership. Their entire operation is break. Is break even. That's why they're so much cheaper, because they don't need to make a dollar on gas. They break even on every single thing sold in the store. Everything. They make money on however many hundreds of millions of people that pay $60 or $70 a year for the card. So they're $1.4 billion a year in profit just off the membership card.

[Josh]

Wow. Crazy.

[Ben]

Genius. Crazy, crazy. Continue, though. Continue.

[Josh]

So I'm filling up, and there is a line of two or three people, but, you know, there's pumps on each side. And of course, Costco being frickin brilliant, Any Costco gas insider knows, such as myself, you can. It doesn't matter what side your gas tank is on, because the hoses are long enough where you can actually pull it to the other side of your car. So it's not like where you have to go on the right side. If your tank's on the right, you can go to either side. So I'm in. I'm in line. There's like two or three people ahead of me, and I noticed the line next to me, and the other side is completely empty. And somebody pulls out and there's a pump open. I go.

[Ben]

I'm going to go over there.

[Josh]

What, are you kidding? So I go over there, I fill up, and I'm backing into the spot, about to go fill up, and a guy, one of the guys who works there, like, basically, like, comes at me pretty hot. He goes, you just cut the line. And I go, no. And by the way, both of my kids are in the back seat. He goes, do you not see there's, like, three people waiting? Like, were you on the other side? I go, yeah, I was, but this was open, like. And there was no one behind me. He goes, there's three people waiting for this pump. You're on the other side, right? And I go, and. And it was one of those moments where I go, like, I'm not. Listen, I'll steal water from work. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not. I'm no sailor, you know? I don't know what that reference is. I'm no angel, okay?

[Ben]

It was. It was like, I'm no sailor.

[Josh]

I'm no sailor. You know what I mean? I'm not gonna go to sleep, you know, I'm not gonna go sleep with some girl during fleet week, okay? It's like, you know, like, I'm no angel. Like, I definitely have my little things, my. That I do that aren't exactly the most gentlemanly, but, like, this is. To cut a line so publicly is not my cheat, right? So it felt very odd that this guy was saying, because it was like, I truly. And he goes, look behind you. And then there were a couple people there, but of course, I had just been there for 30 seconds. Like, maybe people drove up. They drive up all day, but they certainly. I did not see them there when I moved over. And he goes, you know what? Just.

[Ben]

Just stay. But.

[Josh]

And I'm like, no, no, no, no. I'll go around, no problem. And, like, again, I'm like, okay, your kids are in the back. I'm not going to fight this guy. He came at me a little bit sideways, and I know I didn't cut anyone. I go, but, you know, no problem. So I drive around, and I did the right thing. The spiritual part was, as the day went on, an hour in, I go, you did the right thing. You didn't get into a fight with this random guy who's just probably doing his job in front of your kids. He didn't get heated. Respect, Josh. And another hour later, I thought, maybe those people were there. That's really.

[Caller]

That's.

[Josh]

That was the most spiritual, where I literally was, like, convinced I didn't do it in the moment. But an hour or two later, I went, maybe I was wrong. Like, maybe I saw it incorrectly. How rare is that, that someone can go. I was sure of it. But there's a total possibility I didn't see it right. You know what I mean?

[Ben]

Not that rare. Not that rare, Josh. And I'm telling you, you were right. I've had enough of this shit, ok? I've had enough. I'm the person. I'm sorry. If you, Granny sue, want to be the hundredth person in line to get off the exit, that's your prerogative. Me, I'm going up to the top. I'm not cutting you off. I'm just waiting to see. Did you leave too much room, Deborah? Did you leave a little bit too much room between you and the Tacoma in front of you? Skirt right in the. That is my right for you, Josh. Finders keepers, okay? Finders keepers. If they were too slow, maybe you saw them, maybe you didn't see them. It was open, Josh. How'd you get there so fast that the person behind you didn't call you out on it?

[Josh]

That was my thought, too.

[Ben]

Who worked there called you out. But, Josh, if you really cut somebody off, oh, they'll tell you. Bobby sue or whatever I called her would be honking at me, calling. Calling me the. An asshole or whatever it is. If I. If I cut her off and she was upset, if I cut her off seamlessly where she created space and I entered, there's never a honk. There's no problem. You didn't interrupt the system. You, Josh, didn't interrupt the system. You didn't do anything wrong. Otherwise, the person waiting in line, the three people in line, would have let you hear it. Okay?

[Josh]

Okay.

[Ben]

So, no, they can still be spiritual if you want, but, no, I think in that scenario you were right.

[Josh]

But I want to be spiritual. I don't want to be right.

[Ben]

Josh, we're two things, okay? We're two things. We're topical and we're spiritual. Yes. Okay. We can be spiritual. We can be. Because we're saying we're spiritual. We're topical and we're spiritual. And I'm sure by the end of this episode we'll have a third, because things come in threes. Totally topical and spiritual. Okay? This feels very weird doing a three like this, but I don't think you'd do it any other way. Oh, my ulnar nerve. This finger's numb. That.

[Josh]

It just went. I saw it. I saw it pop. Your forearm started to shiver.

[Ben]

You saw It. It just went. That's it. It went. It's numb this guy.

[Josh]

Wow.

[Ben]

Just relax, Ben. Just let it out.

[Josh]

Well, did you hear that? Ashley Tisdale Exposes Toxic Celeb mom group Filled with mean girl behavior and high school like isolation, her lips aren't sealed. Ashley Tisdale took shots at her former toxic mom group, which included Hilary Duff. Hard to believe. Fuck that noise. Meghan Trainor and Mandy Moore. In a scathing essay for the Cut, the former Disney Channel star reflected on feeling not cool enough after being excluded from hangouts in Thursday's Space. Thursday's piece, excuse Me, she recalled sitting alone one night after getting her daughter to bed, feeling totally lost as to what she was doing wrong. To be left out, the actress, 40, went on to text the group. This is too high school for me, and I don't want to take part in it anymore. Although she never considered the moms to be bad people, except for maybe one. She chose to cut ties with them after the dynamic stopped being healthy and positive. I can believe it about every girl.

[Ben]

Hillary Tough, Meghan Trainer, and who else? No. Hillary Duff, Meghan Trainor and. Who else?

[Josh]

Hillary Duff, Megan Trainor, Mandy Moore, and. I don't recognize anyone else.

[Ben]

Hillary Duff, Meghan Trainor, Mandy Moore. Josh, what's the difference between Hillary Duff, Megan Trainor, Mandy Moore, and Ashley Tisdale?

[Josh]

Oh, you're sort of. You're rough, Ben. I want no part of that.

[Ben]

No, thanks. Hillary Duff, Meghan Trainor, and Mandy Moore are actually famous. And what they say for me and currently relevant. I just. Josh, Josh, first of all, you are so much more famous than Ashley Tisdale. This is not even a comparison. I don't even know why you're going.

[Josh]

She's a very nice person, okay?

[Ben]

That said, we're talking about. We're talking about three incredibly. Incredibly. A list. Famous women, okay? A list. Hillary Duff, A list. Ashley Tisdale. Not a list. Mandy Moore, A list. Josh. A list, okay? Ashley Tisdale. Not a list. Meghan Trainor, A list. Ashley Tisdale. Not a list. So what I'm going to believe, Josh, is that Ashley Tisdale had a great run with this group, okay? She had a great run. She was lucky to be included, okay? Now she's on the outs. Maybe they realize, they're like, you know, we don't need this anymore. Ashley needs this more than us. Because Ashley needs stuff to revive, maybe her career, but the others don't, okay?

[Josh]

Nah.

[Ben]

This is my hot take. Josh wants. No, pardon it. This is my hot take, okay? I'm willing to take all the flames. Topical. We're topical. We're so topical. I'm willing to take.

[Josh]

We're like an ointment. We're like hydrocortisone. We're so topical.

[Ben]

We're topical. Okay.

[Josh]

Topical.

[Ben]

Spiritual. And we got all the. I'm down to take all the flames on me. Okay, I got it. I. Look, whether I'm right or wrong, I think it's a good take. I think it's a good take.

[Josh]

Well, the government's keeping track of what people get stuck in their butts. And these were the worst items last year. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission actually keeps a database of ER visits and what's bringing people in. A lot of people are just saying, really, Doc, I just fell on it. In addition to numerous sex toys, including a 24 inch long dildo. Whoa. The highlights include nails, screws and nails, baseball. Reason given to see what it felt like. Uncooked pasta. I wonder what kind, what shape the noodle was. Egg dog, chew toy, dryer sheet sandal, wine stopper, corn cob holder, film canister, battery powered, light nose hair trimmer.

[Ben]

Josh, Sandal. No big deal. I could. I could make a case. I can make a case for you trying to put a rigatoni up your rear. But a sandal like.

[Josh]

Babe, where. Where are my Tevas? Babe, where. Where are my Birkenstocks? Not again. Not again, Dan.

[Ben]

Oh, my God. Well, all right. That's weird. People are weird, Josh.

[Josh]

Well, corporate girlies are desperate for Hallmark hunks in real life to satisfy a rom com itch. It's quite a fantasy. This winter, a growing number of high achieving city women are swapping cubicles and slack notifications for something straight out of a wintry Hallmark movie. Blue collar boyfriends with callous hands, pickup trucks and jobs that don't involve Outlook calendars. Dubbed the rise of the real life Hallmark hunk, the trend has corporate women in New York City and beyond swooning over men who look like they wandered off the set of a small town rom com. Rugged, charming and blissfully unconcerned with office politics. Dude, this is just gonna lend itself to like a bunch of Williamsburg and Silver Lake. Carhartt wearing Red wing boot wearing frickin Trader Joe's tote carrying losers.

[Ben]

Give me a break.

[Josh]

Yeah, because I. I've said this before. I shout out, blake, my sister in law, I love you dearly. But like I always used to give her crap because she used to do this. And before she met the perfect man of her dreams, my brother in law Will, who's tr. The perfect guy for her and the perfect guy in general. The perfect guy for me. But like, my wife and her sisters would also, like, their friends would like, they would do this where they would, like romanticize these, like, versions of like real men. And while we all love it, I'm like. I'm like, guys, you're a bunch of girls from Manhattan Beach, California, who are used to a certain lifestyle. Like, you're not getting dinner at Walmart. Like, I love y', all, but it's just like, not regularly. Like, you're going to do it every now and then, but, like, you ain't living that life. Come on.

[Ben]

No, no, no. And the real man that you're looking for in California, you would need to move Josh to find that guy that they're looking for.

[Josh]

Right?

[Ben]

You need to find that, that hunk in the Tier B city, Tier C city even. You need to go to some great town in Nebraska and find that flannel wearing hunk. But if you see him in la, there's a problem, Josh. Big. It's not. It's not what it seems. It's not what it seems there in Nebraska. He's being completely himself in la. He's hiding something, Josh.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And I don't know what it is.

[Josh]

In Nebraska, he's a corn farmer. He's certainly closeted. He's in love with his farmhand. But he marries you and he'll learn to love you. But in his heart, he loves Roger.

[Ben]

He loves Roger. Roger's him. You're going to be with him in the sack and he's going to be calling out Roger. And you're going to say, my name is Regina. And he's going to pretend that it was just a close call, when in reality he was thinking of Roger. Yeah.

[Josh]

Roger's burly groundskeeper hand. No, I'm kidding. Okay.

[Ben]

You're gonna find Roger's car keys shoved up his rear.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And he's gonna try and explain it away. I just sat on them.

[Josh]

It's crazy. I. Roger doesn't drive a Kia Sorrento, honey. I swear, babe. What are these Hyundai Palisade keys? I don't know. They're not Rogers.

[Caller]

Mail.

[Josh]

Should we get to a speak pipe? Should we get to a oh my God.

[Ben]

The first moron mail moron mail of 2026. I love it. Wow. Love it. I miss the morons and all their mail.

[Josh]

If you want to leave us a message, get some advice, go to speakpipe.com good guys. Keep it brief. Brevity's key. We don't want your woody nuts is I'm never going to play them. They're never good. But if you want some advice, keep it quick and let's hear from somebody good. Melannie hi Good guys.

[Caller]

I love the pod. I need some advice. I gave birth to my third baby girl earlier this year and my husband absolutely carried our family through the newborn phase. While I dealt with postpartum depression and some lingering health stuff, he truly pulled more than his weight and never complained. I want to say a real meaningful thank you, but I'm feeling stuck. Do dads actually want a big gift? Weekend getaway tickets to a sporting event? Or is there something better coming from a wife and mom of three? Since the two of you are both dads of little kids, I'd love your perspective. Thanks guys.

[Ben]

Wow. Well, I hope you're feeling better and it sounds like you have an amazing husband. I personally I don't need a gift in that situation. If my wife Came to me and just acknowledged, like. Like, he's probably thinking it, but he sounds, like, too nice to ever throw it in your face or ever talk about it. I honestly think just you going to him and saying, look, I. I'm, like, so aware of what you've done over the last year. It's meant the world to me. It's. It's been, like, everything. You're the best husband. At least for me. I don't need tickets to a jet game. Like, maybe that's just me. I just need the. The acknowledgment would go a long way with me. What do you think, Josh?

[Josh]

I would want canoodle adjacent flavors. Yeah.

[Ben]

Oh, I thought you were gonna. I think we're gonna say something like, I'd want, like, a boat or, like.

[Josh]

I can buy myself, by the way.

[Ben]

For sure you can also buy yourself canoodle adjacent flavors. But.

[Josh]

No, I can't.

[Ben]

No, you can't.

[Josh]

Like, I can buy myself the iPhone 17. Like, I can't. Like, to me like that. But that's me. Like, that's. That's my love language.

[Ben]

It's a lovely love language. I. I hear it while I'm. Words of affirmation. Your blowjob.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Like, to each their own, by the way. I'll take one, too. Sure.

[Josh]

I just.

[Ben]

You're giving them out because.

[Josh]

And here's no problem. Before it sounds too chauvinist, what I'm saying is, I know job is in. In the title. I. Like, I can't believe it. Like, I can't believe it seems miserable.

[Ben]

It's a job. It's a job.

[Josh]

Yeah. Like, I honor that. So if you're.

[Ben]

It's an act of service.

[Josh]

If you love me enough and like, to do a couple, like, you know, bimonthly blow. I don't know. I've never thought about it, but, like, I'm just. That would mean I would be like, wow. Like, I feel seen. I feel seen.

[Ben]

Definitely more. Definitely more than concert tickets. I think we agree on that. I would. I would do something less materialist.

[Josh]

I can buy my own tickets to Meghan Trainer. I could see Hosier. There's very few things I can't do for myself, and that's one of them. Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. You know, I agree. You can't. And you also can't compliment yourself. Otherwise, you're going to the loony bin.

[Josh]

Next one is from Anonymous.

[Caller]

Hey, good, guys. I'm a Canadian and swirly. This past summer, I started on a GLP1 journey postpartum mom, it's been life changing. My husband has been incredibly supportive and so happy for me as I have found such confidence and energy now. Like many new dads, he has gained some weight. I personally don't care. I still think he's sexy AF and will always adore him. But lately he's been so down on himself. He says his clothes don't fit and he just doesn't feel good without a shirt on. I've mentioned a GLP one is an option, but he insists it's just that he needs to work out harder. Now living in Canada, there's a huge stigma still around GLP1s. So help me out. How do I get him to see that a GLP1 isn't just for the postpartum moms or the diabetics or the severely obese individuals. I want him to know that regular good guys use them too. Love always a Roman Catholic who wishes she was Jewish. B h B H B H. Wow.

[Ben]

Love you. What a great. What great moron male. First of all, your husband sounds fantastic. I would tell him, Josh, we both know this before we even get to the GLP discussion. You can't work out harder to lose weight. You have to eat less to lose weight. You're. You've gained weight and you're totally allowed to. Like, my dad always jokes that he also had a baby when my mom had me. My dad gained like 200 pounds or something. There's a gorgeous photo of him somewhere. Just like at his peak weight when my mom is also at her peak weight. It just happens. If you're not like a schmuck like me. When your wife. When your wife is pregnant and you go on a GLP like me. Like, I didn't want that to happen, but it easily for me if I wasn't personally on Zap Bound or Ozempic or whatever it is, I'm. I'm positive I would have gained £100. Like you're in the house more. You are just. You're not as active. It makes complete sense why a guy would gain a ton of weight. It makes complete sense now to lose it. You either need to eat less food by yourself or make better choices with food by yourself. You cannot work out your food away. Well, you can. Working out helps if you.

[Josh]

If you.

[Ben]

It would be hard, Josh.

[Josh]

It is hard. You're right.

[Ben]

But it'd be really hard if you.

[Josh]

Increase your workout and kept the eating the same. In theory. But you're right. You're right in. In.

[Ben]

In theory. But it would Be much easier for him if you just cut a meal, like, no longer eat dinner, and you will lose weight, like, then. Or. Or cut portions in half. All of these things are done for you, in my experience, by taking a glp. So I love them. They've changed my life. They're fantastic. And we have a great code with ro.

[Josh]

Shout out.

[Ben]

Robot is a great place to do it.

[Josh]

Love it.

[Ben]

But. But, yeah, you can't do this for someone, though, okay. Like, if they want to. Great. He now knows it's available. Maybe you'll play this clip for him, maybe you won't, but there shouldn't. There's no. There's no stigma. Like, unless you're listening to other people's opinions, which are completely useless. Like, you're. You're gonna do it. You don't need to tell anybody about it. You're gonna lose weight, you're gonna feel good, and if you're really into working out, then you're actually the Perfect candidate for GLPs, because the worst thing is when you have a person like me who hasn't gotten that itch in the gym. And then they lose weight, but they also lose muscle mass. If you're a gym rat. GLPs are great. There. There's actually nothing. There's no downside, in my opinion. So. Yeah, good luck. Good luck. But he sounds great. Do you think, Josh, I think you.

[Josh]

Just need to have a heart to heart, a Canadian heart to heart, and be like, what are you so worried about? Like a bunch of goofs in fucking Saskatchewan judging you for doing Manjaro. Like, you, you gotta stop it, eh? Like, you gotta hit yourself once for Justin Trudeau, you know, do it for Wayne Gretzky, the great one, you know, do it for the Biebs. Do it for Ryan Reynolds. And by the way, Ryan Gosling, while you're at it, you know, from the great state of Nova Scotia, the great province of Nova Scotia, to flipping Winnipeg, okay? And it's socialized medicine here, so it's basically free. Yeah, dude, just do it and don't tell anybody and stop it.

[Ben]

That was a plus. Well done.

[Josh]

God bless.

[Ben]

Yeah, do it. And don't tell anybody. Like Jo. Like Josh did. And like, I did. I didn't tell anybody for, like, a year.

[Josh]

I'm on it right now. I haven't told a soul. No.

[Caller]

I do.

[Josh]

I still. I. I've been microdosing it again, and I love it. I think it's great. Okay, next one is from Trinity.

[Caller]

Hey, good, guys. I'm a vet Tech. And a question that we've been asking everybody around the clinic is pretend your pet has a disease and there is no treatment for it. They are going to die. 100% guarantee. However, the only way that you could save their life is if you lick their asshole. Are you gonna do it for me personally? I've got four dogs, and there's only one whose asshole I would lick. Yeah, let me know.

[Josh]

Thanks, Trinity.

[Ben]

I'm so happy we have such amazing vets in this country. That's the first vet I've heard from. Oh, my God, Trinity, you're a gem. That said Josh, I know who put a sandal up their butt, okay? It was Trinity and her vet tech pals. Okay? They're putting objects up their ears. Would I lick my dog's asshole one time to save his life? Yes.

[Josh]

Sure.

[Ben]

Yeah, I would. Like anyone's asshole wants to save their life. Unless I'm gonna get a disease. Am I gonna get a disease? Like, if I'm gonna die, then it's not worth it. If it's just like, you're licking because you're. You're being asked to lick. I'm licking. Okay. Like, you need me to save your life. Call in the licker. I'm here.

[Josh]

I got a liquor.

[Ben]

Are you looking? Are you a license to lick? Oh, are you licking? You're. You're licking, Josh, you're licking. Even if it's not humanitarians lick.

[Josh]

Even if they have eczema, you know, what do they.

[Ben]

What do you got? Josh, put down my Chihuahua.

[Josh]

Toto toilet seat. You ready for this, Josh? The options, new or used. Wow. I took a screenshot to send to you. What are you nuts? Who's buying a used toilet seat? Practically new. What does that mean, practically new? On Amazon, you can't sell used toilet seats. What are you, nuts? Disgusting.

[Josh]

My what are you nuts? Is. Oh, my gosh. I just had it and then I lost it. Wouldn't you know. Oh, my.
