B
And if you don't give us five stars.
A
What are you nuts?
B
What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys.
A
They're not the great guys. We're just the good of good of the good guys. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast. I'm sitting here with the rabbi who's going to marry Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. It's Ben Saf.
B
I like that. We haven't spoken about it, by the way, and I know it's a little bit dated, but look, they're not getting married for a long time, so we can still talk about it. I'm shepping nachos. Mazal. Mazalto. Mazalto Gel CN Swiftaim.
A
You imagine they're going to need a lot of guys to lift him in the chair during the horror?
B
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, they are. I wonder, do we know how tall she is? I know she's tall. Is she like six foot tall?
A
I don't mean that for her. For her, they would only need one person, but for him.
B
No, I know. I'm just thinking, kid, at least he's at least 260, isn't he? Like 6, 7? He's a big boy. Yeah. They're going to need. By the way, they don't even need that many people. I was heavier than that at my wedding. How was I heavier than Travis Kelsey at my wedding? And by the way, he was the skinniest I'd been in a decade.
A
How many guys did you need to lift you in the chair during Hava Nagila at your wedding?
B
Four. Four, Five. Big, big dudes. Big dudes. You ever think about that when you were at your peak weight, that you were heavier than LeBron James? Like, I used to. I would always think about that. Like these guys that are just 7ft tall, 7 footers. Bigger than with no muscle. Bigger than with no muscle. But, yeah, Travis, Kelce, Taylor Swift, and my God, what an unbelievable woman. This is giving the New Heights podcast the exclusive so they can get 100 million new listeners. I mean, this is. What a gift. What a gift, right?
A
It's on. It's too much. Good stuff. Like, it just feels so perfect.
B
It does. It does. I'm very, very happy for both of them. And I did.
A
Did you watch the episode of the podcast?
B
Yeah. Do you watch the podcast? I can't Yeah, I, I, I've never watched it before. I watched because Claude wanted to watch it. And what I will say is she, she did a lot of telling people. Like, she almost made it seem like Travis Kelce plays dumb, but really knows a lot. She would make like weird comments like, oh, he actually really does know a lot about this. It was like both, I guess, like kind of endearing that she was trying to prop him up, but also like acknowledging that maybe like people think that he like, doesn't know anything. I don't know if you have, you have to watch it to understand what I'm saying. But it's, it's, it was, it was a little strange. The rest of it was pretty good. Long winded. Jason Kelsey's a star. This man can host. Holy smokes, he's great. And I kept watching they also record remote randomly. He would just smile and it reminded me like you're in studio with somebody and I'll just smile to try and be a part of the conversation. Like when he's not speaking, but it's so random. Like you'll see him just deadpan and all of a sudden, like, so good. Which I can relate to. So, yeah, the episode was great.
A
Let's start taking, start taking bets on what we think. First of all, I've been dying to ask this question since I got engaged. If out of nowhere because this could happen with Taylor Swift. Claudia gets a text. It's Taylor, I know you're a massive fan. I've just recently come to the toast. But I love it would love to have you at the wedding. Would Claudia die?
B
Die? Like this is, this is her happen. I don't even know. This is like her North Star of North Stars of North Stars. Like such a die hard fan. Been to every concert, every album, every everything. Like, this is I, I know every word to like 20 Taylor Swift songs because of how much she plays Taylor Swift. She loves Taylor Swift. So yeah, she would, she would die. She would die.
A
Okay, let's do some fun guesses here.
B
What do we think?
A
What do we think the invitations are gonna be like? Are we thinking an Evite? Just a text, A party full, you know.
B
Exactly. Nice and easy.
A
Nice green bubble, you know, tnk are tying the knot, you know, rsvp. Do they go, do they go spectacular or do they go super small?
B
I think they go spectacular and I think it's beautiful calligraphy. I see them like old English, almost like Chateau. Maybe it's, I don't know how big it will be, but I know it will be spectacular.
A
I bet they go. I don't know why. I think they keep it domestic.
B
Interesting.
A
I think that's so her. I think, like real to her roots. He's a good. What? He's a Pennsylvania boy, right? Or no, Ohio.
B
Ohio.
A
Shout out.
C
Cleveland.
A
He's an Ohio kid. She's. She's from. She's from Pennsylvania, but then she grew up in Nashville. It's like.
B
I don't.
A
Maybe they meet in the middle in Lexington, Kentucky.
B
I don't know. Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe it'll be more like a farm setting. A Montana. Maybe horses. I could. That. I could see that too. I could see that too. Her like coming out like on a white horse or in a carriage. Yeah. O O yes, yes, yes. Cinderella style.
A
Her father's there with his arm so taking her down.
B
She's in.
A
She's in a very practical heel.
B
Totally. Totally. Yes. Yeah.
A
So happy for them.
B
That. That would be gorgeous too. Would be gorgeous too. Did you see the. Again, another recent wedding? You saw the. The Logan Paul wedding? Were you invited to that?
A
I wasn't. I've seen vestiges of it. A lot of my friends went and I've also. I saw that they did a live podcast from the wedding, which I was like, respect to the Paul Hustle.
B
No, their Hustle game is insane.
A
Unreal.
B
They're. They're the. They're the polar opposite. That's why they popped into my head like this was live streamed. This was like he. I think there was like a prime cake. Like he. This is just like he's another he. Jake. Jake, like boxed the cake or something. Like, they are just professional marketers, even on their biggest day.
A
Yes.
B
Just. I'm. I'm actually very surprised that you weren't invited. I don't know why I expected. I expected that invite. It's not right.
A
It's okay. I don't keep up with the pause, but I am. I'm cool with them. And I've only had great interactions and experiences with them.
B
I know the answer to this already. But you never watched their reality show. Impaulsive, right?
A
I didn't.
B
It's worth a watch. I loved it. I thought it was funny. I thought it was interesting. I thought it gave a very, like. It felt like a very real reality show where you really got to learn about them. I was sad to see that it wasn't re upped by hbo. I'm sure it will go somewhere else, but after watching that, I ended up liking Jake a Lot more than I liked Logan and just saw a different side of Logan there, at least in the beginning episodes. And then you sort of see his full arc and then he has his baby and it sort of translated into this wedding where it does seem like he's just grown up. Grown up. And they're never gonna change. They're always gonna be that way with the marketing and turning every big eyeball opportunity into something that they can sell. But that's just them. That's not like an immature thing. That's just them to their roots.
A
What, What I like about people like the Paul's and in general I'm attracted to this is when people are unapologetically themselves because at least then you can get. You can decide whether it's for you or not. What I can't stand this is always. It's funny because I love acting, but I've always. I've always felt like a blue collar guy in a white collar job. But I've also like. Because I've just never. It's so rare that I have felt comfortable or part of the tribe of other actors because there's such an air of pretension that fucking kills me. And thankfully with the way media has shifted, it doesn't really allow for it anymore. Unless you are the highest of high actors. And by the way, like, if you're Daniel Day Lewis dog, you have earned the right to be pretentious. But like for the most of us, it's like, stop it. We are putting. We are playing dress up. Like, are you kidding me? Like, this is an amazing thing that we get to do. And I think the virtuous part of it is that we give regular people a reprieve from their life. Right?
B
Totally.
A
It's. We are storytellers and we can give you an escape from your long hard life. And that's great, but like, give me a break. We're not like splitting the atom here. We're playing dress up with makeup and hair and it's so silly. But yeah, I just, I love that there is a lack of that pretension with people like this. And they're just like, this is so me. They've leaned in so hard into who they are that it's like, either take them or leave them.
B
Yeah. They do not care. And watching impaulsive, you really feel that they don't give a shit at all. And that's really endearing. Weirdly, it's like, oh, you don't care that much that I know you're. You're real like, you're, you're like, just because you don't like their real selves, that's a different story. They're. They're real. They're real.
A
That's also my. And I'd be interested to hear what you think, but it's why I have trouble with most news people, but. And especially these provocateurs, from the Tucker Carlson to the Candace Owens, who she's got a, A lot of mess to. With. She is getting sued. Sued. Sued.
B
I mean, they're, I mean, they're both absolute nightmares, but totally.
A
And like, it's all the people there in those areas. It's like if you have to adjust everything you do to what will inflame a story, they're provocateurs, right? If they don't say something crazy, they're not getting clicks. And thus I can't even be near you because, like, who are you? What do you stand for?
B
Nothing. No, they stand for nothing. But that's, but that's exactly what happens when your dollar depends on somebody else giving it to you.
A
That's right.
B
The Paul brothers. I don't, I don't know if they have any sponsors. Like, I know that they now with, with the fights and all this stuff. I'm sure at one point, like, they, they never needed it. Their YouTube revenue was so high, their sales of their products were so high, they didn't need anybody's money ever. Tucker Carlson exclusively lives on other people's money. And it's so funny the way that he went from. I don't want to go down a rabbit hole with him, but like, it went from I don't know who was paying him at Fox News to now he's clearly being paid by Qatar. It's like such like a strange. It's like whoever will pay him, he will say anything. And that's like the, the most spineless. It's, it's, it's awful. Now looking back on it, it's like, oh, I'm sure somebody was repulsed by him because he was just saying things that somebody else was paying him to say, like to have no integrity. Candace Owens is the same no integrity. And that's why I love them or hate them. It's funny how we're comparing or I'm comparing Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson to the Pauls. But like, the Pauls have integrity. They have integrity. They're. They're like, they don't give a. They don't give a. At all. Because they, they don't need to give a. They don't need you.
A
Yeah, it's a really fascinating thing. I, I think the whole, I'm just very careful with that kind of stuff. And any, like, comedian who then transitions into being a political comedian, I'm like, just be honest like that you found Elaine and, you know, make your living, I guess. But it's like, you didn't choose this. Like, if you could have been Seinfeld, if you could have been Bill Burr. I mean, granted, like, Bill Burr gets a little political, but like, if you could have been, you know, Sebastian Maniscalco and selling out Radio City 10 nights in a row by just being a regular comedian, you would have.

A
Ben, you're almost done in the Hamptons. Tell me, are you done? Are you ready to get back to that big broken city of yours? No, I'm kidding.
B
The reason, the reason I'm not done is because. Josh, I've been getting some golf lessons out here. It's my same guy in the city. He comes out here. My golf game is so unbelievably good.
A
Wow.
B
I am get. I am getting so good. And I live eight minutes from the course in the city. It takes me an hour. I'm not ready. I need more golf. I need more golf. I love it. I love it. And I have the itch and I'm addicted. I think the way that you. You need to go to Equinox. I wish that I had that habit. I need to hit a golf ball. I don't need to be on a course. I'll even just practice. I'll go to the driving range and hit balls because I've hit. I've like, I've reached that point where like, I'm loving the shots that I'm hitting. So no, I'm not ready to leave. And Ruby loves it here. He's gorgeous. He's now a little over three months. He loves the great outdoors. He's smiling at me. I look at him, I smile. He smiles back. That's so fun. He tracks me. I move around. We talk. He'll go. I'll go hoo. He'll go hoo. And I know, I know that he hears me and I know that he's responding to me. Sometimes I'll walk over to him and I'll hoo. And he'll who back? And it's just so cool.
A
It's like, who? And all ha hoo ha.
B
And like it's so.
A
And claudies and all.
B
Yah. Booyah. That's funny. That said it. And Claude is thriving out here. She's like recovered so nicely post C section. She's just killing it. So no, I'm not ready to go back. I love it. Don't go. I know, I know.
A
Give up your. Do you ever dream of that? Whenever I go to a place like that, I'm just like dug in and just loving it and feeling it. I just imagine never returning.
B
I do. But I have gotten like a bunch of texts over the last week for my friends, like, are you. Are you ever coming back from off the grid? Like we've really had an off the grid summer and so I'm sure that it will be nice getting back. But. Yeah, no, I would love to just stay here. It's not real life though. It's not like I have to go back. I have to see my parents. Even though they're living it up in the Galapagos. We'll talk about that.
A
They're in the Galapagos?
B
Yeah.
A
What? Off the coast of Chile?
D
Yes.
B
Yes. Yeah. My parents are in the Galapagos off the coast of Ecuador. I believe we were going to Key.
A
West and we went too far west. This is Key Far West. I'm on the Easter Islands. You've seen the totems.
B
Yeah, they're. They're fully in the Galapagos. My mom, she's adventurous for sure. And, you know, she just drags my dad and then my dad has a great time. That's what they went on. Like, they went on like an organized trip for 11 days. I got a video yesterday of my mom making tequila like she.
A
Like she.
B
They're thriving over there. But I need to see my parents. My parents need to see Ruby. These are the things I'm tethered to the city. I'm tethered in the best way. I love it. But I can't live here. No, I can't live here. I want to. You can.
A
I see you in the Hudson Valley. I see you on. In northern Jersey. I see it. I can feel it. I can hear it. And those parents of yours, it's time for them to get out of the city too. Let's get you a compound in Boca.
B
They do need to get out of the city. I was actually looking the other day. I've never thought about it. Have you been to Long beach or Atlantic beach or. You know where that is?
A
Of course.
B
There are just gorgeous beachfront condos in Long Beach. Not expensive at all because this is a seasonal beach. But, like, my mom loves the beach.
E
Beach.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know why she wouldn't live there. Like the city, you don't get, like, they have a beautiful apartment, but you don't. You don't get anything. You don't get that they love the beach. They'll. My mom will go to the beach in 30 degree weather just to, like, look at the waves. She loves it.
A
Yeah.
B
And. Yeah, so maybe. Maybe Josh, maybe. Who knows?
A
Well, did you know that menno divorce is on the rise? Middle aged women leave marriages at record rates as menopause unleashes built up resentment. The change is causing big changes. While a decreasing number of marriages are ending in divorce, overall in recent decades, the rates continue to climb among adults age 50 and over. For some women, menopause can ultimately improve close relationships as they seek solace in friendships while collaborating with their male partners to better understand what their body is going through. Others, however, believe that menopause gives them the clarity to leave their unsatisfying marriages.
B
Wow. Good for you. Good for you.
A
I'm perimenopausal.
B
What did you say?
A
I'm perimenopausal. That means early menopause.
B
Okay.
A
I get hot flashes.
B
Same. I'm always hot. God, always.
A
If Paige leaves me in 15 years. That would be. So forget the kids for me. Me at 50 without Paige.
B
Not good.
A
I'll just be at AA meetings in hometown Buffet.
B
It won't happen.
A
I'll be at the chancellor in Equinox all day. It'll be bad. I'll just overeat, and then I'll work out too much.
B
It sounds pretty great, honestly, but it won't happen. It won't happen. You guys are rock solid. It's a lovely. Just. It's gorgeous. And your gorgeous kids. It's gorgeous. These women with their menopause. That doesn't sound right.
A
Say more, Ben. Wow. Interesting.
B
Olivia. These women with their menopause. I am a fan, though, of if your relationship isn't right, people love to say, oh, stick it out. Who cares? Like, just be. No, you should. You should enjoy every moment of your life, right? Like, of course there are ups and downs, and you should try and stick it out, but if you've tried to stick it out and you don't like it, you should leave it 80. I don't believe in this whole, like, you should stick it out for no reason. You should enjoy your life. Like, right, Olivia?
C
I agree. I think. I mean, it's kind of like, we've talked about birth control and, like, the hormonal effects before of how, like, if you go on or off it, it'll like, impact how you feel towards your partner or, like, your pheromones or whatever. So I'm like, it makes sense that, like, going into menopause, you would also have that kind of shift. But that's also terrifying if you've been in, like, a solid relationship forever. And then, I mean, for the woman, too, like, oh, my God, I can't stand this guy anymore. So, God forbid that that happens. But I agree with you, Ben. Like, if you're. I think there's something to be said about, like, sticking it out and doing the work. Like, if it's somebody, you know, but not, like, to a point where it's, like, just, you know, suffering. It's just unnecessary suffering.
B
Yeah, I don't. I don't think so.
C
Yeah.
B
That said, it's significantly better in that situation to be the woman than the man. The poor guy. Imagine, like, one day your wife just looks at you and hates you. That's probably the worst feeling in the whole world.
A
That was pregnant for eight months. Eight out of the 10 months. I was like, what? Are we over? And she was like, no, but get away from me. And I was like, are we over, dude? She did not like me for like most of 2024. I didn't like me. Well, well. On this trend, hot 65 year old grandma says she only has eyes for younger men. They're more energetic and positive. She's on the prowl. 65 year old Leslie Maxwell has proved that age is really just a number. Considering she's single and ready to mingle only with younger men, there's no denying that Maxwell looks incredible for her age. So much so that strangers often think she's her 21 year old.
B
Maxwell is this Ghislaine? It's.
A
I mean, she, she, she looks, she's.
B
A, she's a cougar in prison.
A
I mean, look, Olivia.
C
Oh my God.
B
Let me see.
A
Wow.
C
She's ripped.
A
She's ripped.
C
She's ripped.
A
She's. She looks great. And she's attracted to a young, fit stud. Somewhere between 20 and 40 last time I checked. I'm 38, of course.
B
Yeah, totally. She did say something. She did say something in there though, that I thought was interesting, which is more positive, which is interesting because I guess, yeah, the older you get, the more negative some get. But I thought that was just interesting. But yeah, of course you want to be with somebody younger, especially when you're fit as a fiddle and everybody your age is just a big ball of goo. Like, I get it.
A
Which. But isn't that a double standard? Because if that was a 65 year old dude saying that about a 20 to 40 year old woman, I feel like people would be like, what a creepy.
B
They would. But it depends on what that guy looked like. Is this Brian Johnson and like he looks 20 when he's 65? Like, you know, like. Or is this. Yeah, if it's Bill Belichick saying it, it's creepy. But if it's like the, like somebody who's ripped and has like perfect skin and really takes care of themselves and like, I don't know, is younger Jeff Goldblum.
A
Wow. Wow, Olivia, I've never seen you so sure of yourself. Olivia.
B
Excuse me. We got introduced. That's funny.
A
Goldblum. That's funny.
B
Jeff Goldblum. It is, it is. I wouldn't have picked him. Is this inappropriate to ask? Is he with Ethan? Do you have hall passes? Is Jeff Goldblum your hall pass?
C
You know what? We haven't had the discussion, but I might have to now before this episode airs.
A
It's just so fascinating that we went from like Paul Newman and Clooney and now it's like Jeff Goldblum and. Yeah, I Don't know. Who else?
B
I don't know. All I know is Jeff Goldblum. He's it. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Sax Underwear. I have a message for the guys out there. Okay, look.

A
If you want to leave us a message, get some advice, go to speakpipe.com goodguys don't. Don't give us your woody nuts'.
B
Keep it brief.
A
Brevity is key. Let's hear from. Oh, this will be a good one for us moron 101.
D
Hey, good guys, huge moron here. Love you both. Josh, thanks for listening to all the speak pipes. I know it takes time, so shout out to you. Oh, I wanted to get your opinion.
B
Tell her to say that.
D
What do you think are the boundaries between being a good girlfriend and like slipping into more of a mom slash caregiver role? I've been with my wonderful boyfriend for over two years. We live together and I keep catching myself doing like little mothering things. And he calls me out on sometimes too, like getting annoyed. So do I just need to know my role and stay in my lane? Be the fun, supportive girlfriend who gives blowjobs and keeps it chill? Or is it normal or maybe even expected to do some domestic stuff like laundry or dishes, cooking, you know, like we have a good balance between all of that. But like I'm definitely more like, let's do it, let's get it done. So curious what your take is not just for a two year relationship, but in general. Like what do you guys expect or appreciate from a girlfriend you are living with? Also, I want to add at the end so you can cut it out if you need to, but I'm a teacher and my students, I'm a third grade teacher. My students are obsessed with your intro song and they know all the words. And Josh, I loved your book. Love you guys. Thanks.
B
Wow. Okay, first of all, we always say keep it brief. Brevity is key. That was that polar opposite. It just got better and better. The blowjob came out of left field.
A
Could you imagine though, ever, ever saying, you know what? Less blowjobs and no chill.
B
Yeah, no, it was just. Wow. I want to start with the end though. Josh, do you know kids love our theme song? They love it. Jackie and Zach's kids request it every time they're in the car. They listen. They love it. I'm just saying, I don't know, maybe we're the. Maybe we could be the new Ms. Rachel. Okay, on this girl, I need to know what these like mothering things are. But like, like what? Doing some laundry. Like if she wants to do some laundry, why would he have a problem with that? Like he, she said that he like came down on her and like said it was annoying. Like I don't understand that at all. Like I cook for Claudia. That's like a domestic thing. I love doing it. She definitely does more laundry than me. But like we, we trade things. I don't know.
A
That's like vision of labor.
B
Yeah, that's like part of Being in a relationship, I think is doing things for each other outside of just blowjobs, which, again, really caught me out of left field. I just. Right. I think that. I think he's wrong. I think she's right. She seems. She seems funny, too. I don't know. What do you think? Funny and normal?
A
I think that. I think there's a. I have two answers, and I think both things can be true. I think men who allow themselves to be overly taken care of or, in quotes, mothered by their girlfriend or spouse, I think are losers.
B
Agreed.
A
And I want to be like, get it fucking together, boss. Like, I, like, you spoke about you and Claudia. I don't really do much of the cooking, but I do my own laundry, and I really like cleaning and vacuuming and doing that stuff. And then Paige loves. Like, that's part of her love language. I can see. Like, sometimes she'll, like, spend two or three hours in the kitchen making a meal, and I'd be like, paige, like, it's not worth it.
B
It's not worth it. Your cooking sucks.
A
No, her cooking's amazing.
B
But I was. Paige, it's not worth it. Your food tastes like ass.
A
Yeah, great. I'll lead with that one. No, her cooking's amazing, but I'm such a dumb goat of a man that I can also be happy with chicken and rice from flame broiler. Like, you know what I mean? Like, sometimes I want to be like, babe, like, don't go through the stress. Like, but it's. I. I know that she is showing love through taking the time. Right.
B
You know what she's also doing. It does. I do the same thing. She also is cooking for herself. Like, I. I make nice meals for everybody, but I also make them for me. Like, even if it is a chicken and rice. Like, I love. Like, I love garnishes. I love small chopped veggies. I love, like, somebody would look at a chicken and rice bowl and then mine with whatever it is, diced onions, peppers, parsley. And that's because I like making something special for myself. So maybe she's done. She does that, too. But, yeah, I think that it's definitely. Cooking's a love language. For sure. For sure. It's like, we love giving gifts. We perceive it as a gift, but it's also a little gift for yourself. It's nice.
A
And I will say, and Ben and Olivia, please tell me your thoughts on this. And this is me being completely transparent and honest, giving a. What I think is my own, but a male's Perspective is a married stiff for many, many years. Whether you want to or not. Completely up to you. If you can give us just like a flash every couple of weeks, a month or two of what it was like when we dated for the first year. It will go so far. It means so much to us when we just get a whiff of that fun and fancy free when. When the BJ's were flowing. No, I'm kidding. But like, but you know what I.
B
Mean, like, I do.
A
I get it, man. Life gets lifeing and like kids and work and life and stress and that is so understandable like 98% of the time. And, and I would say that pro. It probably goes both directions, but just as a, from the male perspective, like if you can just give us like a whiff of that every couple of months, it, it, I think it goes a long way.
B
Yeah, spontaneity is huge. I do think that setting them up to be spontaneous though, without needing to worry is, is on us and it makes it easier. Like one night, just like not even telling her, booking a babysitter or calling Paige's mom, having a dinner reservation locked and loaded and just going and doing like then unlocks her spontaneity. Like she's less spontaneous because she has 2000 things that she didn't have to worry about when you first started dating. So if you eliminate those things, I think it frees her up to be spontaneous. But yeah, I totally agree. It's, it's incredibly important. Gotta keep, gotta keep the sexiness alive.
A
Olivia, any thoughts?
C
I think just like the point of spontaneity and I think like, what you said of like trying to give a flash of like what it was like in the early stages. I think that applies to like both genders for sure.
A
Yes.
C
And I think also both genders can be overbearing at times too. Like, and give the mothering or like parenting kind of, you know, thing. So I think it's just like good to be mindful of that and like life happens and like you said, just you know, try to inject like some fun and levity where you can, but life gets busy. So. Yeah, agree with both of you.
B
It does get busy. It does. Passing us by year after year.
A
So true. Okay, let's hear a fun one from Elise.
E
Hey, good guys, big fan here. Part of your Gen Z non Jewish fan base. And I would like your advice on a situation. Me and my best friend, as a high school graduation gift to ourselves, went backpacking through Europe for three weeks and the last stop on our trip was Croatia. So the last night in Croatia, we went on a bar crawl and then went clubbing. And in the club, I was dancing with this Scottish guy who I was very interested in. And by the end of the night, we ended up making out. But my best friend, she's in a relationship at home, and so she couldn't really be with anybody. And also from our hostel, this guy who was probably around twice her age, had been on the bar crawl with us, but then kind of stayed with us at the club for a little longer than what would have been normal. So by the end of the night, we decided to go home because of what was going to make my friend feel the most comfortable. But I would have liked to hang out with the guy I was with for a little bit longer. Anyways, so I got his Snapchat and we've been kind of talking since then. And he just texted me that he'll be coming to my hometown in September and that he would like to meet up. So the first part of my question is, should I meet up with him or should I leave this as just, you know, a thing that happened in Croatia? And the second part of my question is, if we do meet up, should I make him take me out to dinner and kind of make a date out of it? Or should we, you know, just meet up wherever? Anyways, I would love to hear what you guys have to say, and I would like Olivia's take as well.
F
Thank you.
B
I don't mean to turn you into an example because you're one of our beautiful Gen Z non Jewish followers. Oh, I want more of you. I want more of you. That said, brevity is key. Why did you tell us about your friend and the creepy older guy? I was expecting something to happen. Nothing happened. Now you're saying that you had, like, a nice time with this guy and now he's coming to the States and you want to hang out. Great. Why do we know about your friend who was in a relationship and then there was a creepy older guy that was there for too long? Why do I know that? Why do I know that? Why do I know that? That's the key. When we say brevity is key, that's the part of the story that you could have eliminated. Honestly, what people should do, Josh, People should start typing up their what are you nuts's or not what are you nuts? Is their speak pipes. Put it into ChatGPT and say, brevity is key. Yeah, okay.
A
That's the prompt.
B
And they would abbreviate it.
A
That's your fucking param.
B
That's your prompt for ChatGPT. It's so easy. Type it all out, whatever you want. Your whole McGilla all of a sudden. Brevity is key. They spit it out. It's nice. It's fantastic.
A
Hot.
B
Olivia, she asked for you, so you can go first.
C
Okay. I think that you should meet up with him when he comes to your hometown. But I. I would say, like, go on a date. Like, go out somewhere. Like, show him around your town, you know? Like, I don't know. It sounds like. I mean, you both met while you were both traveling, so he wasn't able to, like, show you around Croatia because he's from Scotland. But I'd say, like, give him a tour of your hometown. Show him what America's about. Like, have a fun time. It might not go anywhere, so just, like, enjoy each other's company and, like, make a good memory.
A
This is a gun store.
B
This is a Cracker Barrel.
C
This is the ice cream.
A
This is someone who's, you know, bent over from Fentanyl.
C
I show them the real American way.
A
Yeah.
B
Look, go somewhere very public. I don't know. I don't trust this Scott. He just. I don't know. You met out. It was a night. The Snapchat of it all. I don't know. Right.
A
Chick Fil A.
B
Can we go to Yardos? What's a burger? My Scottish accent is just Mrs. Doubtfire.
A
And we love it.
B
Oh, let's go to In n Out. That was Jamaican. That was Jamaican one.
A
Let's go to in and Out. All right, this next one's from Kaylee.
G
Hi, Josh and Ben. My name is Kaylee. I am from Missouri. And this is more directed towards Josh because I know he loves a good Cracker Barrel visit. Which dude?
D
Same.
G
I wanted to know how you felt about them getting remodeled. I feel like the whole point of Cracker Barrel was, like, that rustic vintage. I don't know, like, just the vibe was, like, there. And now they're just, like, completely whitewashing it into, like, that modern farmhouse vibe. And so I just wanted to know, what do you think? Also, love you guys. The pot is amazing. I just had a baby six weeks ago, and I just need you to know that you to literally have gotten me through the past six weeks. So thanks so much.
B
Bye, folks. We've seen it time and time again. We've seen it time and time again. It's the expression. Josh, do you know the expression? Do you know it?
A
No, I don't And I don't want to hear it.
B
You do, because it's true.
A
Do you know the expression, make money.
B
Go woke, go broke?
A
So stupid.
B
That's the expression. No, this really is. Honestly is. And I'm so happy that they changed back the logo. I thought that was really smart of them. What this is, is just going towards minimalism, and I'm not here for it. I don't like that we're stripping color. We've spoken about that on past podcasts where you look at, like, an old McDonald's and they had like, the greens and the jungle gyms and all this stuff, and it's now just this, like, gray box. Like, the same thing happened with Jaguar. It went from this gorgeous logo to this just, like, ugly typeface. Like, we think that. And I see it in. In spritz society, too. You think that you need such drastic newness to generate sales. Right when you need. You just needed a campaign. You just needed a David's Protein Cod filet campaign. You just needed a Sydney Sweeney campaign. You just needed. You needed to be better marketers. Changing your logo has never, ever, ever generated the sales that one is looking for in that type of a. That's the only reason you do it, right? You do it to refresh the brand. So people are reignited about the brand. But I think that comes through marketing campaigns. So I'm happy that they changed back. I'm. Personally, I've never been to a Cracker Barrel. I could give two shits, okay? But if it was a brand that I loved, if it was a restaurant that I loved, and all of a sudden they changed their logo and I was a big fan of it, I think I'd be upset. Was it overblown? Probably, but I don't know. I'm a fan of nostalgia. I'm a fan. Like that feeling that you get when you've been going somewhere for 20 years. Don't take that from people. Let them continue to feel nostalgic.
A
Totally. I think you. You put it perfectly. I think you're. You're dead on. I think that people like to polarize this and make this a political thing. But the reality is. And Jaguar and Cracker Barrel are perfect examples. And you tell me if I'm wrong, Ben. A company has never said, we need to do a refresh when sales are through the roof.
B
Never. Never ever. Never ever. Unless they do something tiny. They'll do something tiny that you didn't even notice. But yes, totally. Yeah.
A
They never had their best calendar year, and suddenly they were like, we need a new logo. Yeah, let's redo everything.
B
Well, that would. That's what was so weird about Cracker Barrel. Like, I was reading their. Their stock was strong. Their numbers were good. Like, that's why this was so strange. Like, I. I don't know why they changed things. Maybe they were trying. Or they said that they were trying to attract a younger audience. Sorry, Cracker Barrel, you're not gonna do that by changing your logo. You're gonna do that by changing your menu items or doing a collab or being fresher. But, yeah, changing your logo is weird.
A
It's like, I think it was a what are you, nuts? Of mine a couple months ago, where Cracker Barrel's, like, big new summer campaign was that they were cooking the food in tinfoil. They were like, our campout classics. And it was just food and tinfoil.
B
I'm like, dog, it was. It was your. One of you nuts. And it's weird.
A
Yeah. Like, I don't know.
B
Have.
A
Offset create a meal or something. Like, totally. Like, contact the Migos. Like, what? Like, you're going to need something. Have Travis Scott dude do a collab. You're not going to get it from tinfoil Food.
B
What would be interesting is if Cracker Barrel played all of us on this one. Like, I bet you their sales now are higher than they've ever been. The fact that we're talking about Cracker Barrel, they went back to their old logo. Like, was this just a marketing ploy? I don't know if they're smart enough to do that. Like, that would be pretty crazy. But it was kind of like the IHOP ihob April Fool's joke, if you remember that. I genuinely thought that they turned into the International House of Burgers, like a big dummy. And I was fucking pissed. I'm like, they did what? They went away from pancakes to burgers. And this was like, before people really leaned into April Fools. They were early. And then it turned out that it was just like, a big prank. Like, I guess they now had a burger on the menu. But they weren't turning into the International House of Burgers. They were still pancakes. And then everybody's going into ihop.
A
Crazy.
B
Crazy.
C
I have one thing to say about Cracker Barrel. Very near and dear to my heart. Same road trip spot, always coming from the Midwest, like, going down South. But Ethan and I actually said, I love you for the first time in the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel set in Knoxville, Tennessee, on the way back from the Beach Bowl.
A
What did that look like.
C
It looked like us having, like, two beautiful days in Atlanta. Like, city to ourselves. And then on the way back, just stopped for a bite. Had had a really long drive. And then in the parking lot, I just said, I love you, dude.
E
I don't.
C
And then he said, I love you, too. And then we bought T shirts at the gift shop. Commemorate.
B
Oh, my God. Yep. Yep.
C
And it's the old logo, so don't change it.
B
Yeah. Two things that we've learned now. Don't change it. And if we don't get a Cracker Barrel deal out of this. That story. Are you kidding me?
A
Unbelievable. I want to recreate it.
B
Me too. Holy smokes. Love it. A Cracker Barrel episode title. We found. We found love in a Cracker Barrel. We found love at a Cracker Barrel.
A
All right, last one is from. Let's see.
B
Let's make it short.
A
Let's make it nice and short. From Noel.
F
Hi. Good guys. Huge and toaster hair. Excuse my heavy breathing. I am, like, 38 and a half weeks pregnant and feel like I'm gonna die. My question is regarding baby names. So my husband and I typically disagree on girl names. This is our fourth baby coming, our third girl. And he's really specific on a name that he wants. But my question is, who really has the final say? Because I feel like you. You know, we go through so much as women, and I'm the one pushing her out, and I feel like if he even remotely likes one of my names, it should kind of go my way. But I wanted to get a male stick, obviously.
E
Especially both of you.
F
Congrats on both of your new babies. Feel free to let me know what you think. Thanks.
B
Thank you. Maybe it's just that, like, I'm not stubborn at all on that stuff. Like, who cares? Like, you'll come around to. You'll come around to it no matter. Unless it's like a really fucking stupid name. Okay. Like. Like, I don't know, Curtain. Or, like, Curtain. Software's kind of curtains light. Like, it's, like, stupid name. If it's a normal name, you'll come around to it. And honestly, I haven't called. I call Ruby. Ruby. Like, very infrequently. He has, like, a thousand nicknames, so. Right. Like, do you call. I've never asked you this. Do you call Max. Max.
A
Maxi. Shy. Shy.
B
Mai.
A
Mai. Meyerowitz? Shaicito.
B
Yeah, exactly. Ruby. I strictly call Booby. Ruby. Booby.
A
Ruby Booby.
B
He's Booby. He's my booby.
A
My husband needs to get over himself.
B
It doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter in general. Just stop it. And if you want it to have meaning, then say to her, okay, pick a name with this first letter and maybe there's somebody that is meaningful to you with that first letter, okay? Like you can have an R and N, a T, whatever. Try that. See if you can come to a resolution there. But also, why is he naming a girl? You're the woman. Like, you name the girl.
A
Definitely. Look, Paige said, I like the name Meyer. I said, I love the name. She's like, how about the middle name Lane? I said, that's a choice.
B
Now you got a Woody Nuts.
A
I do. Our what are you, nuts? Moment of the week are our gripes with people, places and things both big and small. Whatever. Stick it in your cross. So I was in Houston over the weekend because I'd never done a comic convention. And when we had the great Drake on the podcast, he said to me, listen, I've done a couple of these. We've never done one together. It would be great if we went and did one. And I was like, okay. So I went and it was incredible. It was really cool to spend two days meeting people, true fans, and getting to hang out. And we got to hang out together. And I was flying back from Houston to lax and there was a famous guy. This guy was good and famous, okay? He wanted a pre board. I said, what? I'm not sure you're an active military member, sir.
B
That's strange.
A
You don't have a limp. You're in incredible shape.
B
You're.
A
You're up to your teeth and peptides. You pre boarding?
B
No. Good is.
A
What are you nuts?
B
What are you nuts?
A
There's gotta be, there's, there's gonna be two classes. If you're in a wheelchair, if you have kids under 2, or you're an active military member, go on. Everybody else, back of the line. What are you nuts? This guy's like, I really need to pre board because I don't want to get recognized in the airport. I'm like, no, your show was on 30 years ago. You're like, me, no one cares.
B
No, also like, you're that. You're that famous and you're that worried, why are you flying commercial? Get over yourself, okay? Like, if you're that worried, you shouldn't be in the airport at all. Okay?
A
And he is exactly who he is.
B
I need to know who it is.
A
I'll tell you after. Yeah.
F
Wow.
B
I thought it was gonna be Jeff Goldblum.
A
Okay, I was exaggerating with the super famous part.
B
Yeah. But by the way, no, this is even worse now that I know who this is. Yeah. Nice guy though, I think. Okay, my, what are you nuts? Moment is that last weekend I ran out of gas.
A
Wow.
B
I was driving and I was really lucky. We were going to the country club and I was driving and my brother in law, thank God we were driving separately, was driving behind me and going, we're gonna play golf. And this stupid fucking car only tells you at 75 miles when you're gonna run out of gas. It says low one time and I forgot to refill it that morning. This has never happened to me in my whole life. And I'm driving and all of a sudden my foot's on the gas and the car is not moving. The car is not moving faster. The car is moving slower, slower, slower and slower. So I pull over. Thank God. I drive like the wind. He drives at a more modest pace. Thank God he was six miles behind me. I called him like, dude, you gotta go to a gas station. You gotta get me a gallon of gas. He got, he went to a gas station within 10 minutes, got me a gallon of gas. I filled it up and was on my way. That said, what am I nuts? Like, only like it made me question my own intelligence. I'm even here blaming the car. This is so not okay. You can't be a human being in society and run out of gas. I shouldn't even have a license. Like, it's just so unbelievably irresponsible. And I'm nuts. Okay, I'm nuts. My wife will be happy to hear me say, because I've been blaming the car the whole time, I'm nuts.
A
No, you're not.
B
Okay, I'm nuts.
A
You're nuts.
B
It's insane. And I felt so helpless and stupid and yeah, okay, you are nuts.
A
Let's get into the more pressing issue. You and your brother in law, you left the same location at the same time.
B
I, I'll tell you why we drove separately. We drove separately because there isn't enough room for four car seats.
A
Not what I'm asking you guys. You guys left at the same time.
B
Same time, Benjamin.
A
Yeah, it's not that. He was six car lengths away. Six miles away. You drive like a fucking psycho, bro.
B
I drive like a psycho, but he also drives like a grandpa. So there was. This is a, this is a gap.
A
You cannot drive the way you do. You literally go over 100 miles an hour. You're Wild dog. You have a kid, but it was.
B
No, no. I was driving in the 80s. Maybe it's helpful to New York. Maybe it's helpful to know these are highways, Josh. These are highways. These are 65, okay? 80 and 65 is no problem. We were going 70 miles, so I had room. It's not like we were going 20 miles and I outpaced him by six. We were going, and I only had, like, 10 miles left in the trip. So I had, in my defense, about 70 miles to create that gap, which means that I was only driving about. What is that, 10 miles an hour over what he was driving. That's good quick math, right?
A
It is good quick math.
B
You like.
A
Please just be careful.
B
I promise I will be. I will be more careful. I will be more careful. And, folks, you know what you need to do? You know what you need to do? You need to rate this episode 5 stars. Otherwise, what are you, nuts? Listen to us. Wherever you get your podcasts, you should Watch us on YouTube. You should share our clips. You should drive slower, Instagram, and much slower. And when you see Ben on.
A
On the highway, you go like this. You shake your hand for me and you go, what are you, Ms. Sugar?
B
What do you miss? What do you mean?
A
What are you, a state trooper?
B
What?
A
Do you have a state trooper fetish?
B
Yeah, I do. They're hot as hell.
A
They are hot with those big brimmed hats.
B
Mondays.
A
Turn off your body cam so I can get to know you.
B
Actually turn on your body cam so I can get to know you. We will see you next time.
