As always, the chemistry between Josh and Ben keeps things light, quick, hilarious, and thoughtful.

Transcript

[A]

Mazamarans. Welcome back to the Good guys podcast.

[B]

Josh, did you see that our sweet, beautiful boy O. Spearlman almost got clipped last week, bro.

[A]

I tried to get him on the pod, but our. Our dear, dear Donald Trump. I mean. Oh, it's Perlman. I mean, mine fuhrer.

[B]

Donald.

[A]

No, I'm cracking up.

[B]

Hey, you good? Oh, thank God. Want to come on the podcast?

[A]

You already know. You already know. I immediately was like, dog, we got to hear it because at the respondents dinner, it's awful. But there was an assassination attempt, and O's Perlman, who was hosting it, was literally speaking to President Trump and the first lady as they were alerted that there was trouble afoot. And God, could ose be having just a crazier couple days after that happened. Can you imagine?

[B]

What?

[A]

No, What?

[B]

I mean, you talk about incredible publicity. Now that he's okay, unbelievable press. I'm looking, I'm like, is that Oze? What is he doing there? Like, I never would have known that. And now the clips are just going viral of him doing magic or mentalist stuff. Not magic, sorry. Mental stuff. And my God, just. Honestly, he's very lucky both that he wasn't coming. You're right, Josh. You're right.

[A]

I mean, what does this say about mentalism?

[B]

Yeah, totally. What is it a. What is it? Fraud? Is he a fraud?

[A]

Clearly. No, no, but.

[B]

No, no, no, he can't be. Yeah, I saw that. I was like, oh, my ohs. That was a close one.

[A]

Two Jews, both big and tall. No subject too small. For the good guys. A mother Stream premium podcast team. Make it your weekly routine. It's a good guys. And if you don't give us five stars. What are you nuts?

[B]

What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys.

[A]

They're not the great guys. We're just the good and good and the good guys.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

You know, Trump was like, you're not gonna fool me, Oz. You're not gonna get me.

[B]

Then he hears. He hears gunshots. He's like, I didn't mean it. O's. I didn't mean it.

[A]

Oh, man. The best. My favorite part of it. And I was gonna send it to you, but you probably saw it. But I did want to show it to you on the pod. Did you see the guy eating salad?

[B]

No.

[A]

No. I'm so. I'm praying you haven't seen. Okay, so this could be the first time. So obviously, Secret Service comes in and just wipes the room. Everyone's on the floor, you know, really scared. They're securing the Ballroom when there was an attempted assassination attempt. And all you see is send me the video one angle. I'm going to show it to you through the camera. You see the angle 1. Would it be better if I send it to you?

[B]

Probably send it to me but show it to the people. But send it to me so I can see it here.

[A]

We'll put, we'll have, maybe Jasmine can put it in for us during it all I have to say, Ben, is it me?

[B]

It me.

[A]

My boy. This is the best.

[B]

Who is that?

[A]

Okay, so he's a famous, he's a famous agent from CAA and they've since gotten in touch with him. The New York Post gotten in touch with him because he went viral as like literally not giving a font. And he said, first of all, I have a bad back. I couldn't get on the floor. And if I did get on the floor, they'd have to bring in people to get me off the floor. Creative Artist Agency agent Michael Glantz told the New York Times. And number two, I'm a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening.

[B]

Oh my God, what a legend. Wow, that is hysterical. Oh my God. Josh, speaking of CAA next week I have tickets. Devil Wears Prada, 7pm Me and Claudia Tuesday night, got a sitter. Let me tell you, first of all, how many times have you seen the original movie, the Devil Wears?

[A]

Proud of the original. I've seen it a dozen times. Not recently, but of course I've seen

[B]

is so fucking good. It is such a great movie. This is where I first fell in love with the great Stanley Tucci. And now I wish to mirror my career after him. But let me tell you this, this second act, they've waited so long. Such pent up demand. Everybody looks the same. Anne Hathaway, she looks fantastic. Meryl Streep, she looks fantastic. Mr. Tooch. The Tooch meister, the tooch man. Amazing jobs. And you told me something that I wanted to bring up. You auditioned for. Didn't you audition for this movie?

[A]

Yes, and I don't think they do that. But if they had an ability to trade on whether or not I was going to book that audition on Polymarket, it wouldn't look good for me.

[B]

It wouldn't look good. What do you think were the chances on Polymarket if for Josh Peck to book the role of the love interest of Anne Hathaway? If they offered it, what do you think it would have been trading at

[A]

I think Polymarket would have had a tough time staying solvent after that because they might have run out of their war chest.

[B]

Poly Market is so unbelievable, you know, that you can literally trade on what the box office is going to be opening weekend.

[A]

Can we check out polymarket for the odds or likelihood of what the Devil Wears Prada to box office opening is looking like?

[C]

So the bulk of folks are thinking somewhere between 80 and 90 million for that opening weekend. However, given the, you know, cultural success of this and the impact maybe going over 100 million.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

I have to assume, based on the success of the first movie, that this is going to be a real blockbuster. So I think over 100 million. That sounds. That sounds pretty good to me, Josh.

[A]

Speaking of that, are they doing anything for Real Housewives? Because I feel like you being the Real Housewives King would know that.

[B]

When did I become. I became the Real Housewives King? I'm just trying to figure out when it happened.

[A]

You are?

[B]

Yeah. I mean, I got to check polymarket and see there's going to be another episode. Reunion. Reunion episode number two, Josh.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. And let me tell you, tell you, the women have been feisty. Episode one, they were feisty. There was a lot of fighting. I wonder if you can trade on Kyle and Dorit using the C word. I'm not going to say it. C u n t. They say it, not me. Dorit's been saying it. Eric has been saying it. I wonder if you can trade on them saying the word C u n T. I'm sure you can. You'd have to go to Polymarket to check that out.

[A]

And I think also on Polymarket, you'll probably be able to trade on the Met gala, which is coming up, which is going to be. This is. This is a moment.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Right. I mean, the last one before the Metropolitan Museum goes out of business and it becomes a Costco. Could you imagine?

[B]

I was like, what kind of insider information do you have, by the way? If you could trade that on Poly Market, you'd be rich as hell. How s the Met becomes Costco, it would be.

[A]

You know what? Culturally, it would be a sin. But as far as your access to Kirkland paper towels, it would be a game changer for you and your family.

[B]

It would be a game changer. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Branch Basics. Folks, here's the thing about cleaning products. You use them every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. Not me, but the people in my life that love me on the counters where you prep your food and the laundry detergent, soaking into your clothes, on the floors your kids and pets are crawling on. And with spring cleaning season here, it's worth asking a simple question. Do you actually know what you're cleaning your home with? The answer is no. Don't lie to me. You have no idea what's in your cleaning products. You have no idea. And let me tell you, that's a problem. Because your home environment plays a much bigger role in how you feel than most people realize. And a lot of conventional products look clean, smell clean, even, say, natural. But many still contain ingredients linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation and respiratory issues. And here's what most people don't know. In the US Companies aren't even required to disclose every single ingredient in cleaning products. So you could be spraying and washing with chemicals you would never intentionally bring into your home. Branch Basics changes that entirely. Folks, we switched to branch and let me tell you, it's fantastic. I know it's better for us and it cleans great. It probably cleans better. It's absolutely fantastic. And here's the good news. Branch Basics is now available everywhere you shop. Target, target.com Amazon and of course branch basics.com tossing the toxins has never been more convenient.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

What do we think of the Michael Jackson movie? Having a meteoric 220 million dollar opening.

[B]

Unbelievable. It did. It did. Yeah.

[A]

Boy.

[B]

Wow. I gotta see it. Holy smokes. I didn't even see that.

[A]

It's opening weekend, 100 million domestic, 220 cumulative worldwide. And they're saying it'll do a billion.

[B]

Wow. And this is just like Rocketman or Dylan or like. It's a biopic, right?

[A]

It is. But what's interesting is, is that it's very much controlled and executed by the estate. And it's the nephew of Michael Jackson playing him, Jafar Jackson.

[B]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I didn't know that.

[A]

Spectacular.

[B]

That's amazing. And so it's, it's like a, it's all the great songs. It's like, it's, it's a, it's a feel good.

[A]

It is. I mean, I think that's probably. It's very fascinating, the ratios and I think this might Speak to you where like the critics overall, I think it was in the 30s on rotten tomatoes, but the exit scores for the audience is like 99%.

[B]

Yeah. So that means that it was. It was made for the fan.

[A]

It's a. I think it's more of a concert film and less a concert diving in deep into the psyche and sort of the. The nuance of him.

[B]

Wow, I gotta see that. I. I mean his music is unbelievable. I'm just.

[A]

I'm just not okay with another big win for Miles Teller. But other than that.

[B]

Is he in it?

[A]

Yeah, he plays his lawyer who is. Has owned a part of his estate or I'm sorry, is the executor to part of the estate. So I think people were a bit critical of like, you know, the lawyer is a pretty big part in the movie, like, but. But why there's more important impactful characters that were in his life. But also what's interesting is that they only cover up till 1988. And so what they're saying is the sequel will cover from 88 on till 2000 and you know, 2009.

[B]

Wow. Miles Teller's having a good year. He's. I haven't met him. Claudia's really close with his wife, so I'll say frit Distant teeth. There's somewhere in the orbit he could end up listening to this. First of all, think he's fantastic.

[A]

He's. He's super talented. I only see that in jest. He's seems like a great guy.

[B]

Did you see that? They sold. So he's an early investor in Long Drink. You saw that one for 350 million.

[A]

Killed it.

[B]

Killed it. I don't know what he owns, but he owns something. Ok. He owns something and walked away with something amazing. So. Holy wow. What a great year for him.

[A]

I don't know why I feel this and I know it's unfounded and Olivia, try not to judge me if you get a similar exit like that for Spritz Society. I feel like I deserve a taste.

[B]

Josh, you know me well enough to know that if I ever made that kind of money, you can have 90% of it. No, I don't need that kind of money.

[A]

You have. You know, I feel like the Good Guys podcast has been good for over overall Spritz. I just want to like, I want

[B]

you to say you're in.

[A]

Let's go dinner. Let's go have dinner. And then you hand me a small kind of envelope of what kind of dollars? Cash.

[B]

What kind of watch would you like?

[A]

Anything A Robert Melee. Anything worth high? Six figures.

[B]

Done. 350 million. I want you to know, if we sell this, mark my words, if we sell Spritz society for over $350 million, I'm getting you certainly a boat. I'm just trying to figure out how big a boat. Do you know me at all the resale? You don't, by the way you live in. You. You don't want to go in the water at all.

[A]

I'd rather have, like, a Bugatti.

[B]

You don't need a Bugatti. What are you doing with a Bugatti? You know how bad the resale value is. At least I said a boat, because you could flip it Bugatti. You drive it once. Yeah. Boats. Go Appreciate. They're fantastic. Watches are even better, though. I'll get you a collection of watches. I'll get you a Patek.

[A]

A nice.

[B]

Oh, yeah, we're all. We're in. Okay.

[A]

I would love that.

[B]

So, any strategic partners listening? I am for sale. 100. Give me a call.

[A]

And if I call, if I wind up investing in this Greek yogurt pizza dough, you're in, my friend.

[B]

You.

[A]

You. I'll get you the boat because you'll be able to keep it in Florida.

[B]

Great. Good. Let's keep it. Bring me the boat. I'll dock your boat.

[A]

Sometimes I feel. This is real Jewish of me. I feel, you know, it's like, you know when you feel storm clouds roll in. But these are good clouds. These are. I'm gonna fantasize if I hit the lottery clouds. Yeah. And it happens two to three times a week. And I go, oh, here it goes.

[B]

Two to three times a week. Oh.

[A]

And I go, I am gonna sit in this. And first they start off humble because they go, 100 million. Great. That would change my life. But then I go, you really need a billion, you know? And then I go, really? And then I started thinking about, okay, what do I do first? And I go, all right, you take half, you put it in investments. You take the other 250, you give it to charity. But now we're playing with 250 here. Who. Who am I giving it to? Who. Amongst friends, right? Like, whose life am I changing? Like, for Olivia, she's gonna get a nice. A nice wedding present. This is gonna be. Which, by the way, we haven't spoken about the fact that Olivia is engaged. Our Olivia is engaged. And we haven't. I really. We needed a solo app to really give you your flowers.

[C]

Oh, thank you.

[A]

And to honor our wonderful Ethan and Olivia.

[C]

God bless you, sweet boy. Thank you so much.

[B]

Wow. We are. Mazal Tov. Mazal tov. What are we buying, Olivia? Okay, so we're. We. We have 250 million.

[A]

[C]

The.

[A]

The. The engagement.

[B]

Lifetime.

[C]

Yes, absolutely. It was so sweet and perfect. We had gone ring shopping when we went back home around Thanksgiving, and we checked out a couple jewelers in Cincinnati. And then over the holidays, we were back home, and I kind of had a feeling that it might happen then just because both of our families are there. And, you know, the day started to kind of tick by and I go, I don't know. I don't know when this is gonna happen. We got a flight coming up. We're heading back to la. Okay, that's fine by me. But on New Year's Day, he was like, hey, we are gonna go grab brunch. I'll drop you off. You do? Later on in the evening, we'll go out to dinner and then we can go see a movie and, like, just hang out at your mom's house for a little bit. I'm like, fabulous. That sounds great. Mind you, the night before was New Year's Eve, so we had gotten an Airbnb, just, like, in this cute little part of downtown. And some of our best friends and had had ourselves a night there. My mom let things leak a little bit because for Christmas, I'd got gifted this really beautiful, like, red velvet dress. And she whispered in my ear, don't drink too much on New Year's Eve and wear the red dress on New Year's Day. It's so cryptic. And Ethan overheard her and he was like, genie, what the hell? Like, stop it. You're gonna ruin it all. So I kind of had. I was like, maybe something will happen on New Year's Day. But, you know, whatever.

[B]

We.

[C]

I get ready, I wear the red dress, we go out to dinner, we have a fabulous dinner. He tells me that we need to go to this particular venue in Cincinnati. It's a beautiful conservatory, like, botanical garden. Indoor. And he used to work for this company where they would do, like, those candlelight concerts, if you've seen advertisements for those. And he's still very close friends with a lot of his co workers. They don't have an office there. He's like, hey, they need me to go take pictures of this space after dinner. They're gonna try to have a concert there. We talked about it for 30 minutes at dinner. So I had no idea. Like, I was like, oh, yeah, how is it gonna work here? I think we can set the chairs up there, like, really doing the logistics. And eventually we get ready to leave and we go towards this conservatory, and there's like this little. One of my favorite overlooks in the entire city. You can see the. You can see all of downtown. It's beautiful. I've gone there since I was in high school. And he pulled off and stopped right there for a moment. And he told me that he had just found out that day that his grandparents actually got engaged in that exact same spot. And I had no idea. He had no idea. And it was a great fake out because he said, all right, let's go get back in the car. And so we went up to the conservatory, and I was like. I saw him go around the back of the and grab something. And I was like, oh, man, is this. Is this it? But we went inside and the lady at the door said, oh, you're here to take pictures for the candlelight concerts. I said, yeah, I guess. So we walked down the path, and he kind of, like, had me go in front of him. He started taking pictures of places, and then he came up behind me and like, you know, did the little spiel in my ear and was like, okay, you want to do this? And I'm like, yeah, let's do it. And he got down on one knee and proposed. And it was so amazing. And. But the thing that really got me to was he had. My very best friend Since I was 10 years old is an incredible photographer, videographer, Joey Allen, for anybody in Cincinnati or in the tri state area. And he had organized with her to, like, be the one to take the photos, which I figured it would be. But I saw her, like, hiding in this thing of bushes. And I was like, wow, okay, I see a little blonde tuft. That's Joey. And yeah, it was just. It was so amazing and perfect, and he thought of every detail. And then after that, I kind of had a feeling, like, I said that maybe that would happen. He said, okay, let's go show my other Best friend who manages a bar in downtown Cincinnati and knew she was going to have to work that day. She had planted that seed months in advance, and turns out she did not have to work, but they had the bar all rented out with all of our friends and family to celebrate.

[B]

So fun.

[C]

And, yeah, all of my best friends, like, came together to make it happen. Laura made the playlist. It was so sweet. And I felt like I was the luckiest girl in the world.

[A]

Wow. Even killed is.

[B]

That is unbelievable.

[C]

He did a very fake out.

[B]

Claudia would not have dealt with the fake out. Okay. If she was sniffing it out, she would have been like, okay, we're doing this now. Okay.

[A]

How did you propose, Ben?

[B]

How did I propose? So we were working with. It all comes back to booze. We were working with Captain Morgan at the time. They were, like, a big. They were a big brand partner of ours. We were super close with them, and they had invited us. They had invited us to something. I told Claudia that was rescheduled. There's. There's something where we need to, like, dress up. It's at Lincoln Center. Diageo invited us. We're, like, meeting corporate or something. And I had somebody from their PR team, like, email us, like, hey, like, show up to Lincoln Center. Like, business casual. We want you to meet key stakeholders or whatever. And we get there. I peel off. I proposed in front of the fountain at Lincoln center, and then we rented the bar at Essex House across the street. So it was. It was. It was amazing. She claimed she wasn't faked out. She was. Okay. She was faked out.

[A]

She said she knew that it was coming.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, of course she knew it was coming. But, like, she claims that she knew that day. No, she didn't know, and she didn't know. How'd you do it?

[A]

I. We were going to Paris that day for a. I was going to go work at Paris Fashion Week, and so we were gonna go together. And I knew that I wanted to propose. Like, I knew that that was kind of when I wanted to do it, but I was like, I don't trust myself to do it in France. I'm gonna lose it. And, like, TSA or something. Like, I just don't trust myself. And if she thinks it's coming every moment that I don't do it in France, she's going to be like, this fucking guy. I can't comment. So I was like, I'll do it before, and then we'll have a great trip. So I did it in bed, like, the morning before we left on the trip. And it was pretty great. And then the funniest part was I'd had it for a few months and I just was trying to figure out when I was going to do it. And then I knew we were going to France. So two days before, I was down at her parents house and I wanted to ask her dad for permission. So at this time, like, my wife's in her 20s, like all her siblings are in their 20s. So like some of them are still living there, some of them are not. Like, the house is always busy, there's always people there. And I'm literally pulling up to the house and her dad Ken walks out and goes, Josh, you know where everyone is, like, house is completely empty. I was like, good one, God. And. And I was like, I don't know where everyone is, Ken, but I, I do have a question for you. And he's like, yeah, he doesn't have that deep of a voice, but he's very masculine. And I was like, would it be okay if I married Paige? And he goes, oh, oh, yeah, I think that's great. If you love her and she loves you, then yeah, I think that's great. And I was like, cool, how are you? And he was like, I don't think I could do small talk right now. And then it was perfect. And then the next day I popped the old question.

[C]

That is so precious.

[A]

Look at us. Three married stiffs.

[B]

I love it.

[A]

Olivia.

[B]

It's so great. Olivia only gets a thousand times better. It's so good.

[C]

I'm so excited.

Is anybody watching Friends and Neighbors?

[A]

No.

[B]

This is, I love this show. Josh, did you, you didn't watch season one either? Jon Hammond? No, it's on hbo. I think it's on Apple.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And it's a great show about Jon Hamm. His character Coop is like a hedge fund manager. Gets fired and resorts to stealing from his friends. Like, he lives in Scarsdale and he's a criminal that goes into like his best friend's house and steals the nautilus that I'm going to get you. And this second season is just so good and I'm enjoying it so much. And I highly, highly, highly recommend. It's not like it's like fun passive tv, but it's, it's a unique storyline and I, I'm enjoying it a lot.

[A]

I don't, I'm losing my muster for like, we know. I, we, I, I love the Pit, but I feel like I was a little less impressed with season two, even though Shout out, it's a great show. I was actually with one of the cast members the other day and I was like, I love the show. Great job. Baby Jane Doe Baby. Where's anyone check on baby Jane Doe Bobby? And, and it was funny. And you know, obviously that show would be such a dream to be on, but I'm also like so brutalized by this business after 30 years. And so he's like, yeah, man, it's great. It's an amazing gig. I love everyone I work with. He's like, and you know, it's, it's one of those shows where even if you're not in the scene for the day, you'll still get there at 6am because there's a chance they might see you in the background or want to put you in the background of a shot because it's very contained working space. And I go, I'm out.

[B]

I'm out.

[A]

Like, I literally was like, sometimes God does for us what we can't do for ourselves.

[B]

What a nightmare. So you have a 6am call time. You're there all day just in case they want to use you, not in

[A]

case you're being used, but you're. You're part of the canvas at that point. You're like part of the wallpaper.

[B]

Josh, this is why we have AI. Okay. Sign over your rights. Still pay the person. They don't have to be there. Okay?

[A]

Right.

[B]

Take a picture of good old Joshi, throw him in the background of the scene. This is called. This is like, we're ignoring tech. We should. We. We should use it. I pay the actors, but use it. This is a terrible waste of time. I don't like this at all. We spoke about, though, with the pit, when they went on stage, I think it was the SAG Awards, and I saw them all out of their scrubs. I'm like, what are you guys doing out of your scrubs? Like, they're ingrained in my brain as doctors. Like, I feel like I'm actually watching an er. So seeing them in suits, I'm like, what the fuck are you doing in a suit? Like, where are your scrubs?

[A]

I know. Whenever I see Dana, the charge nurse out of it, I'm like, this isn't Philly. But, yeah, it's. It's. It's a tough one. It's just tough. But it was interesting. I've heard that about Martin Scorsese, too, which you just do. To be in his world in any way that, like, he's very much of the school. Like, you come to set, you hang out, there's a chance we'll use you. Maybe we won't. But, like, I don't want to risk not having you.

[B]

Yeah, for Scorsese, I get it. I don't know if I want to do it for a TV show. I don't know. Like, Scorsese.

[A]

Scorsese, you do it. But I also think it depends on how big of an actor. Like, I don't. I think I can share this story. It was one thing was really interesting, watching Christopher Nolan on Oppenheimer. I'll never forget this, and it's a real testament to him many times, and this never happens, and it rarely happens on Big movies. Many times we were pulling work up from the next day because we finished early because he's so. He's just so well planned, and he knocks shit out so many days. Like, we had four hours left of the shoot day, and he. They would say, like, pull it up. And so, like, with actors like us, it would be easy to bring us in. But, you know, if you're pulling in tomorrow's work, you have to make sure that you have every component of that work ready to go shoot that day. And I just remember he was talking to the producer at one point, and they're talking about pulling stuff up, and they weren't sure whether they had everything they needed to shoot it. And he goes, well, I'm not going to call Matt Damon and bring him in unless we have it. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, lay it down. Like, yeah, you can't get Matt Damon out of. Out of his Pilates class to come into work and then be like, sorry, Matty screwed that one up, you know?

[B]

No. Wow. I love that. Yeah.

[A]

Incredible.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Best.

[B]

Very good.

[A]

He's the best.

[B]

Should we do a moron mail?

[A]

Uh, yeah, let's do it.

[B]

Okay. These moron mails have been unbelievable. Okay. Like, unbelievable. You guys have been writing in goodguys podcast1mail.com. I need more of them. Okay, we need to double up. You think you're writing one email, write two. Because they've been great. We just need more of them. Okay, we need more of them because a lot of them aren't very good, but a lot of them are very good. This is. Let's see if this one was good. Oh, no, this was the terrible one, Josh, that I sent you. Terrible.

[A]

Quickly, about our earlier conversation about alcohol. What do you think are the top five unhealthiest cocktails to drink?

[B]

Okay, top five. They're going to be sugar bombs, obviously. I think that number one would probably be. I'm thinking, like Brother Jimmy's punch bowl. I'm just trying to think of what that would be called. They're like, I. I would think, like, a margarita is probably. No, it's not so sugary.

[A]

Ding, ding, ding. Number four, margarita at frozen or sweetened margarita. 300 to 600 calories can go higher at chain restaurants. Ideally, yeah, it's tequila and a sugary mix.

[B]

Sugary, yeah. And probably like a holiday cocktail is probably up there. Like something like eggnoggy or something.

[A]

Not in the top five.

[B]

White Russian. Wow.

[A]

Just like my favorite people. White Russian. 300 to 450 calories. Number five. Vodka, coffee, liqueur, and heavy cream. High fat.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

High sugar. Number five. Way to go, Ben. Three to go.

[B]

Mojito.

[A]

Mojito is not.

[B]

Is a daiquiri. Is a daiquiri considered, number four. Like a strawberry daiquiri? Pina colada.

[A]

Pina colada. Number two. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. 400 to 650 calories. It's coconut cream, pineapple juice, and rum.

[B]

Cosmo.

[A]

No. I'll give you a hint. The first hint is it's a natural disaster.

[B]

Oh. Oh, oh, oh. So it has a. It has a name like a car bomb. Like natural disaster. Hurricane. Hurricane. Hurricane. Something fucking shit. Sandstorm.

[A]

It's a natural disaster.

[B]

Fire. Fire in the hole. I don't know.

[A]

It's also a euphemism for if you had diarrhea. It's a mudslide.

[B]

Mudslide that would never cross my desk. A mudslide. What's in a mudslide? Yeah.

[A]

500 to 800 calories. Vodka, Kahlua, Bailey's. Ice cream or cream.

[B]

Yummy. Okay, so that's that holiday cocktail. That's what that is, number one.

[A]

You want a hint? Yeah, number one. Trying to think of the perfect H. This is named after the hometown of Alec Baldwin.

[B]

Is it? Isn't. Isn't he from Massapequa?

[A]

You ever had a drink called the Massapequa?

[B]

You dummy? No. That's why I'm like, what the.

[A]

Where is Massapequa?

[B]

Long Island. Massapequa.

[A]

Oh, man.

[B]

What is the hometown of Alec Baldwin?

[A]

Massapequa, Long island. Iced tea is 300 to 450 calories. Vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec, and cola. Why? It's bad. Multiple spirits equals high alcohol load and sugar from mixers.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

All right.

[B]

I did decently.

[A]

You did amazing.

[B]

Yeah, I guessed a bunch of them. Oh, we were doing more on mail. Back to moron mail. My husband won't brush his teeth before bed. Ew. Hi, good guys. I need help. My husband does not brush his teeth before bed. Just goes to sleep with the full day still in there. We have little kids who brush every night, so I'm basically raising responsible humans while my adult husband is skipping basic hygiene. I've tried bringing it up, but I think he's a little insecure about his teeth, so it feels like a sensitive topic now. I don't know how to. How to push it without making him feel bad. But also, I don't want to kiss someone who just went to bed with dinner still in their mouth. What do I do here? Is there a Way to handle this. Or do I just start handling handing him a toothbrush every night like he's one of my kids. Help.

[A]

I only brush my teeth once a day. I know that's gross, but I do it at night and I do it for five minutes because I have OCD about it. So I do like each quadrant I'm doing with an electric toothbrush, I'm doing double time. So it's a two minute timer. So I'm doing four minutes on the whole mouth and then I'm thera breathing with mouthwash and that's my life. But I, but I think if you do it the reverse and you only brush in the morning, that's yucky.

[B]

Yeah, I, I think that, I think that optimally you're doing twice a day, morning and night. But what do you clean?

[A]

You're cleaning off. I know, like that's the thing. Because in the morning, if you really clean the way I did the night before, it's just the buildup, which I know it builds.

[B]

I used to only brush my teeth once a day and then Claudia was like, you need to fucking brush your teeth twice a day. And so I brushed my teeth twice a day probably for the last two and a half years. And what really changed it for me is the tongue scraper. The tongue scraper is enormous. If you don't own a tongue scraper at this point, that's a wood of you nuts. You're walking around with bad breath. You think that you're cleaning your teeth. Cleaning your teeth. Even if you do for five minutes, Josh, that's not changing your breath. What smells is your tongue. Your teeth don't smell.

[A]

You don't brush your tongue there.

[B]

I, I used to brush my tongue and now I scrape it. The scraping gets it fully off the brushing. I feel like just like moves it around. I don't know. I've. I found that my breath significantly improved when I started tongue scraping. You as, as the wife, it sounds like you need to just treat him like a child for a minute and then he'll adjust. Yes. Encourage him. Say, hey, I need you to brush your teeth tonight. For you. I'm worried about you getting some type of disease. For you also, your breath stank. So here's a fucking tongue scraper for Christmas, ok? Stinky breath. Don't you love your wife? Stinky breath. If your wife is coming to you and saying your breath stinks, you should feel fucking embarrassed and you should do something about it. Stinky breath. Ok, so that's it.

[A]

Yeah. Just say I'm not going anywhere near you. Like, just hold out.

[B]

Yeah. Stinky breath.

[A]

Okay. Any other more on, man?

[B]

No, that's it. Goodguys podcast1mail.com. I need more of them. Okay, but that was pretty good.

[A]

That was pretty good.

[B]

I need more of them, Josh. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Zyzol. Folks, you know Zyzol.

Do you know Timothy McVeigh? Olivia?

[C]

It's like I know the name and I know the face. I know the face.

[A]

You two are young.

[B]

I know Timothy McVeigh. Let me love you. Timothy McVeigh.

[A]

You just came out from.

[B]

Do you know Timothy McVeigh?

[C]

Oh, okay. See?

[B]

Bombing. Okay, let me look. Let me look at his face.

[A]

Not.

[B]

No, that is somebody that. Ted. His.

[C]

Sorry, sorry.

[B]

Timothy. Timothy McVeigh. No, I don't know this. I don't know this man.

[A]

It's a. It's a pretty dark reference. It's a dark clue that.

[C]

It was a very good clue. He.

[A]

He's the guy who, who did the Oklahoma City bombing.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

Home of the. Home of the thunder. Wonderful at basketball and home of the third largest population in the country.

[A]

Third largest population. No.

[B]

Of fatties.

[A]

Oh, no. Well, yeah. I mean, third largest of fast food

[B]

consumers, which would be obese people. That's my right. You think there's a direct correlation? That's.

[A]

I don't know because I've also looked up the five most overweight cities and you're never gonna guess. Okay. Number two is. This is a toughie. Clues are tough, guys.

[B]

Yeah. By the way, it's much, much harder to be in your seat than ours. So kudos to you.

[A]

This is just giving it away. Viva Las Vegas.

[B]

Beautiful. Okay, that makes sense.

[A]

Number two. That makes sense. Number one. One of their sports teams are Cheaters.

[B]

Cheaters, Cheaters, cheaters. Houston.

[A]

Yeah. Number one, we have a problem.

[B]

We have a problem and it's obesity.

[A]

Doesn't sound like a problem to me. Yes. Houston is the number one city that eats the most fast food in the United States. It's one of the highest fast food restaurant densities per capita. Car culture and urban sprawl equals heavy Drive thru Alliance. And among the top cities for weekly fast food consumption.

[B]

Wow. I have such add. I can't do a drive thru if there's no line. Sure, I can do it, but if there's even three cars and it's going to take. Even if it's going to be faster for me to wait on that line. I can't wait on that line in. I'm parking and I'm going in.

[A]

Do you think we would see a dip in obesity in the country if we outlawed all drive throughs? At least you get a couple steps in going from the lot to the register. Possibly.

[B]

Probably. Yeah. Yeah, we definitely make it a little bit Too easy to be really unhealthy.

[A]

Okay, what if we did? Like, what if RFK put in a ninja warrior course in front of Burger King?

[B]

It's like singing for your supper, but it's like balance beaming for your supper. Oh, you want to make chicken walk this tightrope?

[A]

I think people should be able to

[C]

have it

[B]

as long as they can get past the crocodile, Sonny. Oh, my God. That's good stuff.

[A]

That's funny. I'll use that as my what do you not talk? My what do you nuts? Moment of the week are gripes with people, places and things both big and tall. Whatever. Stick it in your craw. We'll. We'll end it the way we started. So during the horrible assassination attempt at the White House correspondents dinner, RFK was there with his famous wife, Cheryl Hines. And of course, they were quickly escorted out by his Secret Service detail. And my favorite part was, I guess someone from his family posted the group chat where the family was talking about what had happened. And so they asked everyone, okay, Pops, you okay? Cheryl writes, yes was crazy. Bobby's security team came in so fast and took us out of the building. They were lifting me over chairs, and RFK wrote, I'm really hungry. But also respect.

[C]

He should have hung out with the guy that had the salad.

[A]

He should have went and found that

[B]

agent from caa quick and to the point. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. Me too, Bobby. Me too. My Woody nuts moment is. And I'm sure this has been my Woody Nuts before, walking with your head in your phone, especially in a major city, is an enormous. What are you, nuts? I walked probably 15 blocks, Josh. I don't know how I crossed the street. I literally got there, and I don't remember crossing the street. I was checking emails, I was answering texts and just walking. And for somebody who is just so such an easy target for pickpocketing, what am I, nuts? And I'll see people. I'll see them texting me. I'll think to myself, stop fucking texting. You're gonna hit by a car. Like, don't do it. We're too addicted to our phones, myself included. It's really bad when you're walking on the street in a densely populated area or not. If you're not, you should probably just, like, look and take in your surroundings. But be careful. You're gonna get hit by a car. What are you, nuts? You get hit by a car?
