Two Jews, both big and tall. No subject too small for the Good Guys. A mother's dream premium podcast team. Make it your weekly routine. It's a Good Guys. And if you don't give us five stars. What are you nuts?
- [00:23]
A
What are you nuts?
- [00:24]
B
Yeah.
- [00:25]
A
We're the good guys.
- [00:26]
B
They're not the great guys. We're just the good of the good of the good guys. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast, friends.
- [00:36]
A
We're here. Today it's topical day. Right, Josh? Today we're going to be topical. Today's topical day.
- [00:42]
B
This is topical Thursday.
- [00:43]
A
TT this is topical Thursday. What do we want to talk about, Josh? It's going to be topical. Should we start with our beautiful weekends? My sister. Josh, you want to hear something hilarious? My sister came. She flew to beautiful, sunny Florida to come say hello to her big brother. And she was just in Japan for two weeks. And so, of course she's in Japan. I needed to have her get me knives, Josh. She flies over, and I also had a spiritual awakening at the same time. So I said, can you please bring my tallis, my tefillin, and my knives? So she's traveling. They must think she's a part of Mossad. She has long, like, three or four huge knives, Talas and Tefillin, all in her bag. What do you think of that, Josh?
- [01:21]
B
So much to think about. Okay, hold on. First of all, I'm just thinking about the size of that tallest baby, and I know it's like a beach towel, and I love it. Yeah. Okay, let's talk about the knives first. So these are the proper Japanese samurai. Ginsu. Is Ginsu the word?
- [01:40]
A
I have no idea. Of course, you know the name of the proper Japanese knife. These are kitchen knives.
- [01:45]
B
Carbon.
- [01:46]
A
And I said, I don't know. She was in the store. We were FaceTiming. She would show me something, and I'd say, I want to spend more. Show me what is more expensive. We started at, like, the 100 a knife, then the 200 a knife and the 400 knife. And in Japan, I don't think that that even means that the quality was better. I was just being, like, a jerky tourist. Like, I'm never going to Japan unless you want to come with me. I'm never going to.
- [02:09]
B
Dying to go.
- [02:10]
A
I'm dying to go, too. She's in Japan. I have these shun knives that I use that I love. I love them. Shun originated there, but we have the American version, Josh. So I said, you. You're there one time. Bring me the best. So I don't know what they are. I have no idea. No clue. I'll let you know. Carbon. She's actually here. What kind of knives? Do you know what they are? Bullhorn. I think they're made of animals, Josh. Ox. Ox. The handle. Made of animals. The handle. Right.
- [02:38]
B
I just imagine you in like, some, like, small town in Osaka being like, these are shun. I go to Shen Lee on 68th and West End. It's a Chinese restaurant. So good.
- [02:52]
A
It's delicious. Upscale Chinese, too. Yeah. So we don't know what type of knives. We know that maybe there's some animal byproducts in the handle or something, but I'll find out. I opened them later today.
- [03:02]
B
I've heard carbon's the way to go because it's the hardest but the sharpest.
- [03:07]
A
Yeah, these are sharp. These are like cut your arm off sharp. That's what I wanted. Okay. There's nothing worse than a dull knife you're trying to cook. Nothing worse than a dull knife.
- [03:17]
B
How often are you sharpening? Because as my mother in law would tell you, you should be sharpening after every use.
- [03:23]
A
I sharpen quite often, and I just find that I can't get. My shun knives are perfect. Those I can get properly sharp. I'm not gonna name names on the other types of knives. Some of them could be associated with that, some of them could not. I can't get them sharp. I can't get them sharp.
- [03:41]
B
We have a knife sponsor.
- [03:43]
A
No, we have plenty of cookware sponsors that also sell knives. Okay. So some of those knives could be sharper. But, you know, shun knives, I never have a problem, Josh, Ever. Ever. And these Japanese knives, I mean, sharp as anything. I know it. I know it.
- [04:02]
B
Now, as you know about me, Ben, I'm a hobbyist, and I love a good switchblade. I like a nice pocket knife. I don't carry. I don't carry because I'm like a police magnet. They see me, I go, take me away, sir. They know I'm up to no good. I. I'm up to shenanigans and tomfoolery, but I'd like to have them in my desk, easily accessible to my children. And I just flip them. You know, I sit at my desk, I write you a passive aggressive email, and I flip them.
- [04:35]
A
What'd you say, Max? I should have. I should have called you. She was FaceTiming me in this Japanese knife store, and they had pocket knives, Josh. I just. I don't need a pocket. I didn't realize that you liked pocket knives. I didn't. Maybe we've spoken about this though. Maybe. I don't know. I would have bought you a switchblade. And they were cheap too. And you know they're made with that good carbon. You know they're made with that good stuff. Honestly, you don't want a knife that. A pocket knife that's too sharp. I don't trust you with that. You need a dull pocket knife. You can do. You can do tons of stuff with a dull pocket knife. And those little scissors. Does yours have the little scissors?
- [05:11]
B
No, no. Those are like proper Swiss army knives. These are like a one like these. You snap them. It's like a switchblade.
- [05:17]
A
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I know what you're talking about.
- [05:20]
B
Okay.
- [05:20]
A
That makes me even more scary, and that makes me even more scared. I thought you were talking about the Swiss army knives with like those little scissors. How can you use those scissors? Who can put their fingers in the little holes for the little scissors. This is not a good. This is not a good invention, the Swiss army knife.
- [05:33]
B
A Swiss army knife is so Swiss. Right? Because it seems dangerous, but it's completely inert.
- [05:41]
A
Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. You can't do anything with a Swiss army knife. You can't, you know, it's too small. Way too small. Do they make bigger versions that have like real scissors? Like, think about that. Like it's me.
- [05:53]
B
No, that's ridiculous. Be like a briefcase.
- [06:00]
A
Huge Swiss army knife where you get full size scissors off the side.
- [06:05]
B
What would a fatso Swiss army knife have? A straw, Tinfoil. Tinfoil?
- [06:16]
A
Just a button for cheese whiz or whipped cream.
- [06:24]
B
It would have a top, an MM catapult.
- [06:30]
A
A little seatbelt extender. You can open it.
- [06:35]
B
Yeah, it turns into an extender.
- [06:38]
A
It turns into a seatbelt extender.
- [06:40]
B
That's good. It's got like a break in case of emergency. Ozempic pill.
- [06:45]
A
Yes, yes. Speaking of ozempic, Josh, my zepbound is zepbounding on fire.
- [06:51]
B
Do you get it from Roe co?
- [06:54]
A
Of course. Roe co. Roe co. Good.
- [06:57]
B
I'm the next member.
- [06:59]
A
It's fantastic. Comes nice and easy. You don't have to haggle. Deal with the insurance companies. Nobody needs that, Josh. No Roe co good. You get your beautiful GLP1 or one plus. Is Zepbound a one plus? It's not a. It's a two.
- [07:15]
B
It's a GLP2.
- [07:16]
A
That would be the one plus Josh is the two.
- [07:19]
B
It's the two sure, of course.
- [07:21]
A
Yeah. Row. Row. That's where you got to go. They should use that. They don't talk about that enough. Row is where you gotta go.
- [07:27]
B
Well, the truth is, models is out of business, so it could be. Gotta go to ro.
- [07:33]
A
Gotta go to ro.
- [07:35]
B
Yeah.
- [07:36]
A
Row Co. Should we buy Models?
- [07:39]
B
I don't know if there's a deep need for sporting goods.
- [07:43]
A
Should we buy Stoli? Stoli. I saw the other day. Filed for chapter seven, not chapter 11. He knows. Everybody knows Stoli Vodka. It's like the most well known vodka kaput.
- [07:55]
B
Stolich. Stolichnaya, Right?
- [07:57]
A
Stolichnaya.
- [07:58]
B
Stolichnaya.
- [07:59]
A
Stolichnaya, yeah. Len loves a Stolichnaya.
- [08:02]
B
Get your fucking shit housed.
- [08:05]
A
Ask Len if we should buy Stolich. Naya. I'm sure he'll say yes. This is a good buy, Josh. I don't know how much it is, but it's a good buy.
- [08:13]
B
But all we keep reading is, is that Gen Z is not drinking. Like, alcohol sales are down, like 80% today, Josh.
- [08:21]
A
Maybe not tomorrow. We're playing the long game, okay? They're going to realize, okay, that what they're doing, their way of life, it's not working. Okay?
- [08:28]
B
Right.
- [08:29]
A
Them trying to be all Zen and voodoo, they're gonna find. They're gonna find the hard stuff and they're gonna want Stolich and I. Because they're gonna see the history in Stolichnaya today. Sure. These alcohol companies, yeah, they're definitely in trouble long term. Could be worth the bet.
- [08:46]
B
Yeah, let's. Let's play the long game and get Generation Alpha completely shithoused and dependent on alcohol.
- [08:54]
A
I. I'm in. I think it's. I think it's a worthwhile cause, right?
- [08:58]
B
Yeah. Because weed, you know, trauma, ptsd, assisting hallucinogens. Agrees, man. Go old school, you know, thousands of years old. The grapes.
- [09:14]
A
What do you think is more of a gateway? Josh? Asking this is a serious question. Is alcohol more of a gateway to drugs or is weed a bigger gateway to drugs? Like, parents would always say, like, oh, if you smoke weed, you never know what's next. Like, I just wonder, like, okay, these. These kids, they're starting off just with weed and, like, a light hallucinogen. But are they going to be crackheads? Like, is that what's going to happen to this generation that doesn't drink, they only do drugs?
- [09:39]
B
I think weed long term is so strong nowadays that it's having deleterious effects that people don't realize, especially to developing brains where your frontal cortex isn't fully formed until you're 25. So when you're, like, ingesting this weed, that's 10x the strength of what our parents smoked. I think you need to be careful. But I think as far as negatives to the body, alcohol has been the far and away winner for millennias. It is a garbage, garbage drug. It's a drug.
- [10:13]
A
Thousand percent, thousand percent. Especially, like the hard stuff, the 40 proofs, that's.
- [10:18]
B
It's just.
- [10:19]
A
It's poison. So fun, but it's poison.
- [10:22]
B
I don't, you know, after, thank God, you know, 17 years of sobriety, I try to think about. Because obviously in 17 years, I've had the high of caffeine, I've had the high of nicotine, I've had to take some pain medicine for when I've, like, had a surgery or been hurt. I guess it's about maybe some nitrous when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. But I don't, I don't think any of those things compare to being tipsy. So I really have no clue. I mean, I've had a couple pounds of penne vodka and thought I was drunk.
- [10:55]
A
Yeah, I know. 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 on the counters where you prepare food, the laundry detergent you wash your clothes in, and the floors your little ones crawl on. And with a new year here, it's the perfect time to ask the simple but important question. Do you actually know what you're cleaning your home with and how it might be making you feel? The answer is no. Of course you don't know that. Don't even lie to me. Don't even pretend to lie to me. You don't know what's in your cleaning solution. You have no idea. Nobody has ever made you think of this question. Okay, you've never thought about this, but now you have. Now you have. And it sounds small, but the products in your environment play a huge role in your overall well being, especially if you're resetting routines, building healthier habits, or starting 2026 with more intention. The problem, A lot of products, all of the ones that you're definitely using, okay, look clean, but still contain ingredients linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. This is not meant to scare you. We're just taking a look. Okay? New year, new as we are just simply taking inventory. We are taking a look. And in the US Cleaning brands don't even have to list every ingredient on the back. So you may be spraying and washing with things you never knew you were bringing into your home, which is just no good, folks. It's no good. And Branch Basics is here.

I set this all up to tell you something.
- [15:04]
B
Okay, I'm ready.
- [15:05]
A
I set this all up to tell you, and when I come in and I don't have facts, often you question me on the facts. Okay, it's not me. This has been researched. Okay?
- [15:16]
B
It's not me. It's the comment section.
- [15:18]
A
I told you probably a couple weeks ago that instead of just figuring out, okay, what's the next supplement I'm gonna take, I'm going down to nothing, and then I'm rebuilding.
- [15:28]
B
Okay, sure, sure.
- [15:29]
A
My one cup of coffee. We spoke about the coffee. Okay. I discovered, Josh. What? Not only has been giving me brain fog, okay, but what has been affecting my memory. You were right. Something was affecting my memory. And it's something that I was taking every single day for the last 10 years. And it's well documented and it's researched, and it's a huge fucking company. You let me know when you're ready.
- [15:51]
B
Bagels?
- [15:53]
A
Zyrtec?
- [15:54]
B
No, I take it every day, too.
- [15:57]
A
Great. So maybe it's not you. Or maybe it is you. Try going off it for a week. It's documented that it causes brain fog. In some people, the feeling of looking through glass, it's a. It. It's an antihistamine that's closer to a Benadryl where it has that drowsy effect. Where in some people, it makes them sleepy. In some people, it makes them foggy. In some people, it makes them feel disassociated. And there are antihistamines, like, closer to an Allegra, that would not have this effect on your brain. It's not everybody. But for me, having now been off it for over a week, I went through itch withdrawal. All this stuff, I am clearer than I've been. I swear on my life, in a decade, and I looked it Up. I backed it up. Not everybody necessarily, but if you ever feel, I don't know, a little bit foggy, Josh, perhaps go a week without Zyrtec and see if it changes things. Yeah, that's right. And I don't feel bad about it. They've never paid me a penny. Okay. I've been a longtime Zyrtec user. I've spoken about them for a long time. And I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you, if you Google it, it's very Googleable information that not in everybody. People receive drugs differently. In some people, it causes extreme brain fog, brain fatigue, and that feeling like you're looking through glass, which is something that I've described to my wife in the past, and she tried to check me into a mental institution.
- [17:21]
B
So, yeah, Josh. Yeah, Josh, you see, I wouldn't mind looking through a little glass. Little stained glass. Right? Like Bono, you know, I feel like Stamos with those colored glasses.
- [17:35]
A
I'm in. So, yeah, I'm fully ready to receive. I don't know if it's gonna be death threats from big pharma. Okay. I don't know if it's gonna be a lawsuit from big pharma. I don't want the suit. Okay? I'll take the death threats. I don't need the suit. I don't need a suit. But I'm just here. I'm just here. I'm giving you my life experience. And so, Josh, I'm on nothing. Okay? Nothing.
- [17:56]
B
That's a good. That'd be a good name for a fat drug addict. Hey, big pharma. You know, I love the one that me, Big farmer. Wow. All right, well, I will be the judge of you be the judge of you let me know lucidity and your sharpness and where you're sitting. I. I'll be honest. For the last two weeks, I have been ruthlessly under the influence of something called dex. Dexo. Dexometrophen. Dexametrophin, which is a common over the counter cough suppressant, because I have been maybe the sickest I've ever been for the last two weeks. And. And as we know, well documented dexmetrophan with Wellbutrin, the delicious antidepressant I take, which could not be going better. They, thank God they have a synergistic effect where it actually makes it so that your body breaks down the Wellbutrin slower. So I have felt a little bit like I'm on too much. Like I felt a little bit numb the last two weeks. Because I needed the cough suppressant because, oh, boy, was I sick. Benny.
- [19:08]
A
I. I was gonna say so first. Kudos to you. Let me. Let me tell you guys. Josh, it's not. It's not. Missed a day at work, this guy. If anything, it's the opposite. It's the opposite. Our producer text us, hey, guys, it's a federal holiday. Martin Luther King. You guys cool the push? No, absolutely not. Are we good to push? We are working.
- [19:26]
B
We're topical.
- [19:27]
A
We're working. We're topical. We're in a fricking groove. Okay, Jo, whatever he had, this is more than the flu. This is. This is two weeks. Your voice. Your voice is still raspy.
- [19:38]
B
Yeah.
- [19:38]
A
Two weeks later. Two weeks later. And your beard is still growing. Two weeks later. And I think it looks fantastic. I do. Are you. Are you going to continue growing it out or is it just until you start to feel better? Like, is this a sick beard? Is that what this is?
- [19:53]
B
Well, it's a sick beard, but no, I'm keeping it. This is my look. I think I need it.
- [19:59]
A
I like it a lot.
- [20:00]
B
Thank you.
- [20:01]
A
It's good. It's good. We've spoken about it. It's good. I'm in.
- [20:04]
B
I know you are.
- [20:05]
A
I'm in. Josh.
- [20:07]
B
I have. I'll tell you, and I'll be honest with you all. Two weeks ago Tuesday, I was taking my son Max to the wonderful premiere for the Mr. Beast games. You know, his new show on Amazon. God bless you, Jimmy. And my son, who's the biggest MrBeast fan. This was like a real marquee evening that we were looking forward to. So Tuesday morning, I go with the great kid David, friend of the show, and we go to our friend sauna. Oh, would you love this, Ben? Like minded, it's called the Marina Del Rey. You know, these fucking liberals, they think of these names, like Minded, you know, so it's this great thing he got literally like a shipping container that he built a cedar sauna in. Co Ed. Sauna. Beautiful. And then five different cold plunges from 52 degrees down to 32.
- [20:59]
A
Wow. Wow.
- [21:01]
B
So I go with the great kid David. We have a nice schvitz, nice cold plunge. And then I just. And I'm gonna go to the gym after. And I go, I'm not up to it. I just don't feel like I can do it. And then I take Max at 6:30 at night. We arrive at the event. It's fabulous. And I start to get that deep chill from the flu, like from my head to my toes. Like, my arms hurt, which ne like pain. Deep pain in my arms. I'm like, this is weird. And then, of course, like most premieres, it's supposed to start at 6. Doesn't start till 7:30. And I'm like, I gotta go. This is really bad. But I'm here with Max. There's a party after. He never stays up past 8 o', clock. Like, this is his night. I'm like, I cannot do this to this boy. So Jimmy introduces it. He goes, not only are we showing you the first episode, we're showing you the second. I'm like, sick. And thank God I rallied. And I literally hobble into my door. It's like 10 o' clock at night. Max. I put him in bed. I usually lay with him until he falls asleep. He's like, daddy, you're not gonna lay with me. I said, that's real sick, son. Dad's gotta go. So I literally check myself.
- [22:20]
A
This is probably the last time you see dad, Max. Yeah, this is. This was the best last night. And let me tell you, it was it. But this is it for me.
- [22:31]
B
Okay. Say bye bye to papa.
- [22:33]
A
Okay. Remember me? Okay. Remember this face? Okay.
- [22:37]
B
I literally. I checked myself into the guest room. Cause I'm like, I cannot give this to Paige. And. And I just took as much nyquil and things. And I go to bed. And the next day, we're recording Mr. B. So I tell no one that I 100% have the flu, and I'm absolutely, extremely contagious, without a doubt. But I, like, keep 10ft from Jimmy because we all know he has a compromised immune system. And I can't do that to Jimmy. But I'm like, jimmy, I know we're not going to get you again. You're a busy man. And we thank God we. We did the interview. And the next day I went to the urgent care and she's like, okay, we're gonna do a proper test. So I'm like, assuming this is like a COVID test. They give me this like, intense flu test that has to be run in this like, spectrometer machine. And then all of a sudden, you just see flashing in red, plus sign. Plus sign. Plus sign.
- [23:33]
A
I thought you were saying plus signs. Plus signs.
- [23:35]
B
Plus signs. They knew. They knew. Lane Bryant, dxl.
- [23:44]
A
You have fat blood, Josh. Huge.
- [23:47]
B
Huge.
- [23:47]
A
Huge. Huge.
- [23:50]
B
And that was it, dude. And then. And then, like, the nurse started to like. Like they started to look at me like, I was really like, he took my temperature. He's like, you have a 101 fever. I'm like, I don't think I've had a fever since I was 10. And. And then of course, so now I'm on an antiviral, but the whole house has to go on antivirals because I can't get everyone sick. Thankfully, I only got the six month old Meyer sick, so he gets full flu. So him and I are hacking the. The baby man and the real baby for a week. And then I'm not getting better and I had to go back to the doctor and she's like, all right, now we need to do a course of antibiotic and steroids. So I'm all hopped up, babe. I never been sick like this, but I'm not good. I'm getting better.
- [24:37]
A
No, it's very sick. And so you didn't get it from your kids? I wonder where you got it from. Can we trace? Like, were you traveling? Where were you two and a half weeks ago? Actually, I guess there's an incubation period three weeks ago. I just would have thought that you would have gotten it from your kids. I probably did. I feel like you think so were that. Were one of them sick over Christmas break?

B
All three kids got RSV and basically were sick for. So you probably is there is.
- [25:03]
A
Can adults get RSV or does it look they can. Okay, so you probably have rsv.
- [25:10]
B
I got it all. Meanwhile, I really thought I was like. When I wasn't getting better after a week, I was like, okay. I've also been reading these. This famous book called When Breath Becomes Air. And it's by this. This cancer doctor who wind up dying of cancer. He was in his 30s. It's unbelievable book.
- [25:30]
A
It was.
- [25:31]
B
It almost won the Pulitzer Prize. It was beautif.
- [25:35]
A
Yeah, no, the demons start talking. You don't need that. Josh, you're good. You look good. If you didn't speak, I wouldn't even know that you were still sick. But yeah, you have this rasp. It's nice though. You should consider a career in country music.
- [25:51]
B
Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low what the music you.

A
Say, max, this is the last day you ever see me. You come back the next day. You just wear a cowboy hat to have your beard and you're just.

B

Yeah.

B
Yeah, you're right. See myself out, guys.

A
You're. You're opening for the MMA fight on the lawn. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at IM8. Folks, it's always when you stop doing something that you realize how much it mattered. I'd been taking imate for a while, feeling great. Then life got busy and I skipped a couple of days. Big mistake. My energy dropped. My focus was gone. It reminded me just how much it had been helping keep me together. And folks, you know, I took a real inventory of my supplements. Okay, you don't need all these supplements. You need to try imate. Really, it is absolutely fantastic. It's a daily ultimate essentials drink. Brings together everything you need. 92 really high quality nutrients, things like vitamins, minerals, adaptogens and all those good gut supporting pre, pro and postbiotics to keep you, you know, regular. Plus clinical doses of CoQ10 and MSM. This is what's gonna do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. You should try it only after you have literally tapered off everything else. Otherwise you're not gonna know if it worked for you. And I think it's gonna work for you. I'm not gonna tell you it's gonna work for you, but I think it's going to work for you because it works for me. But again, you can't be on the 900,000 turmerics, okay? And then take this. You take this and you figure out this is what's working, not the turmeric. What are you nuts? Spin. What are you nuts? Folks, if you're looking for something, okay, more energy, more regular in the restroom, okay, really, the energy is the key piece you absolutely need to try. Ime. You must try.

- [28:28]
B
We're so topical. Is there anything. Did you watch the football playoffs?
- [28:33]
A
Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Let's see. I heard that the. Who broke their foot? Somebody broke their foot on the last play. That was a big deal. Apparently, the Patriots, somehow, without Tom Brady, without Bill Belichick, are going to maybe win a Super bowl again because the team that they're now playing has a broken foot. The quarterback. Oh, it was the. Was it the Broncos? I think the Bronco quarterback. They won in overtime, and on the last play, their quarterback. I was about to say Tim Tebow, their quarterback. Broke his foot. Broke his foot. So now the Patriots apparently have a clear shot. The Rams won. Go la. Is LA buzzing?
- [29:15]
B
I mean, I'm sure. I guess people care.
- [29:20]
A
Yeah. Honestly, no. You can unfortunately miss me on the NFL playoffs. I love the super bowl because I love. Just a beautiful spread.
- [29:28]
B
Yes.
- [29:28]
A
Okay. I love the food that comes with it, but otherwise, the NFL playoffs just doesn't do it for me. But, yeah, that was this weekend. That was this weekend.
- [29:37]
B
Yeah.
- [29:37]
A
Tonight is. Or Monday night National championship college football. Big deal. I'm in Florida, and it's in Florida, and Miami's playing. It's home for Miami, which is very rare.
- [29:50]
B
Like, they, like in Miami.
- [29:51]
A
It's in Miami and Miami's in it. It's the most expensive ticket, like, ever for anything. Especially because, you know, all these, like, University of Miami kids are super loaded. It's apparently, like, four box seats were going for, like, 170 grand. Like, it's. It's a monster. Monster ticket.
- [30:10]
B
I performed at the University of Miami before, and I just could not say enough good things about the students there about the overall experience. It was great. And it's like, right by Little Havana, so you can go and get yourself a nice cafe Cubano, baby. Then they eat guava and cheese Danish and it hits.
- [30:31]
A
I love guava. Guava is very underrated. Yes. I've had. Have you had dried guava, Josh? This is fantastic.
- [30:37]
B
This is an interesting.
- [30:38]
A
Anything dried. Yeah. You know what I've come to realize in my old age? Dried fruit is good because it's not fruit at all. It's just sugar. It's just fruit dipped in sugar. Okay. But it's fantastic. So good. I had these little guava bites. They were like the size of a raisin. Delicious.
- [30:57]
B
Mm.
- [30:58]
A
Do you watch Traders, Josh?
- [30:59]
B
Do I watch Traders? No, but I know it's popular.
- [31:03]
A
Okay. So I've been watching I'm up to date on Traders. Spoiler alert. And there was actually a pretty. Did you see this stuff with Michael Rappaport? If you didn't, then we don't have to talk about it. But that's pretty topical.
- [31:14]
B
Explain. Explain it.
- [31:16]
A
Okay, so Traders is a show where you're Trying to find out who is the trader. There's faithfuls and there's traders and it's a group of like 20 reality stars. There's some people from survivor, some people from big brother, some people from real housewives. It happens to be a great season. It's my first time ever watching. Alan cummings is the host. He's amazing. And it's just. I love the show, but it gets very tense. Like you're actively calling people out in front of their face like you're a traitor but you don't actually know. You're just, like trying to read people's body language. And Colton underwood, the last couple of weeks has been really rallying the troops to vote off the wrong people. And it's. And it. It becomes very contentious. Like, there was this woman, Tiffany that they vote that he convinced everybody to vote off. And she was crying. She's like, I'm a single mom. I really could have used this money. And you're just wrong. And there's a big prize pool at the end. And, like, she was voted off and it was sad. And so, like, the next week came for michael rappaport. Like, really came for him. And Michael is. He's. He's very animated. Anybody that knows him, he's just like. That's just him. He gets really riled up. He gets really red in the face. Like, this has been him throughout his entire career. And he's on defense being accused at a roundtable of 15 people. And he seemed to insinuate that Colton could have been the traitor because he's so good at keeping secrets for 30 years, aka holding in the fact that he was gay, which low blow if he meant it that way. Not cool at all, for sure. Heat of the moment. Yes. Do I think he meant it? It's not my business to say, but it doesn't seem like he really meant it. But immediately, Michael rapaport, you watched it. He was canceled on the show by the castmates. He was over.
- [33:08]
B
He said that.
- [33:09]
A
And then everybody went around, they voted off michael. They're like, I don't even care if you're a traitor. I don't want you on my show anymore. And that was it. Wow. And that was it. Topical, baby. Topical.
- [33:19]
B
So, by the way, it's a.
- [33:21]
A
It's actually a really fun show that I think you would like. I'm now thinking if max likes beast games, it might be like a fun show for him too. It's like very.
- [33:29]
B
I think it's a little too grown up for young Max.
- [33:33]
A
I don't know. It's really not like, there's nothing that.
- [33:35]
B
Like, it's racy, right? It's provocative.
- [33:40]
A
Not really. Like, seriously, watch an episode. Yeah, I don't think so. I think he'd like it.
- [33:45]
B
I just don't want my son at first grade lunch being like, hey, see.
- [33:51]
A
What Lisa Rinna did last?
- [33:52]
B
Yeah. Little Bobby. Can you believe Michael Rapaport insinuated that Colton Underwood was in the closet?
- [34:00]
A
Undertone, undertone.
- [34:02]
B
But, yeah, yeah, you know, it's funny.
- [34:04]
A
And it's too easy for him.
- [34:06]
B
I'll shout out my friend, the great Matt Weiss, who is gay and works for tmz, and he's a great friend of mine, and he had a podcast with the comedian Theo Vaughan before Theo Vaughn was the, you know, iconic podcaster that he is.
- [34:23]
A
That. That's like those stories that you hear where somebody, like, sold Microsoft stock for, like, a dollar.
- [34:29]
B
It hurts.
- [34:30]
A
It hurts. It got to hurt that he had Theo.
- [34:34]
B
But, yeah, it was him and Theo, and it was called Allegedly. And I remember I was on it, like, sometime 2016, 2017, because it was before I got married and I became friendly with Matt, and sometimes Theo would have to travel for comedy gigs. So Matt would have me come in and sit as his. His guest host when Theo couldn't do it. And we interviewed a Colton Underwood, a young Colton Underwood, when he was still in the closet. And I will never forget my friend Matt at the time privately said to me, God, he's gorgeous. And I wouldn't be surprised if now this was not. This was just a private aside to me from my friend Matt, who is gay, who happened to just have a little bit of that. That insight.
- [35:23]
A
But I remember that gaydar.
- [35:26]
B
I remember saying that to him. I was like, wow. Like, you kind of. You sort of knew.
- [35:31]
A
You nailed it. You nailed it. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So also, I mean, just in the business of being topical. Josh, are you caught up on our favorite TV show, the Pit?
- [35:40]
B
Oh, my God, of course.
- [35:43]
A
Fantastic. It's so good. Again, spoiler alert. But, like, this show is. This show is so good, I could watch it. Like, I'm happy that they only release it one episode at a time, because otherwise I wouldn't go to sleep. It's so nice to have that one hour. I'm looking forward to it. But if they had released 10 at a time, I'm watching all 10. I can't get enough of that show. It is so good.
- [36:05]
B
It's the best show on tv. I feel very proud that I was a Fan from. From Jump. Like, I. I usually resent people that way who are like, oh, I liked them before, they were cool. But it just goes to show to the stupid business that you and I are in that, like, you can have a show that can be 161 hours and be fucking great, shot in LA with great actors and, like, do it right. It doesn't have to only be a six episode, you know, miniseries shot in the uk. That's great. But like, we can do it old school too, the way we used to do it.
- [36:46]
A
Yeah. Which is obviously easier on the actors. My favorite, I don't. I don't remember his name, but my favorite patient is that guy with the huge belly that just like can't stop drinking.
- [36:57]
B
Yeah, I know.
- [36:58]
A
So they need to keep, like draining his liver or whatever because he has that huge belly. It's so gorgeous, that big belly. But it's just, it's just such a well done show. Like, I really. I can't think of a show that I've enjoyed as much recently as that show. I love it. If you guys haven't started watching the Pit, you have a whole first season and the new season is great.
- [37:21]
B
So do you know about kind of the legal battle that's ensuing with that show? No. It's very interesting. I might not get all the details right. So for anyone listening, feel free to be mad at me. I would be mad at me. So Michael Crichton, famous author, originally owned, or I guess there was a property of his that led to the creation of the show er.
- [37:46]
A
Yep.
- [37:47]
B
It was either a book or a story that he had written. It became ER in the early 90s. Juggernaut show, 300 episodes. John Wells, the creator of that show, TV Magnet, one of the greats in television, genius, and Noah Wiley. So from what I understand, there was a ER reboot in the works with the Crichton family, because he's since passed away and the wife owns all the rights to his work. And it was with the wife and John Wells and Noah Wiley working on an ER reboot. And apparently they came to an impasse where they couldn't agree on certain deal points and the show died. Basically, she's like, you can't move forward with it because we own the rights and we can't come to an agreement. Two days later, a show is greenlit from John Wells and Noah Wiley called the Pit.
- [38:40]
A
Wow, wow, wow, wow. Two days later, it was greenlit within like a week. Wow. So. Meaning it had been pitched for a long time and. Cause those things don't just happen, or do those things just happen? Like. Like, is it like they were intentionally sabotaging negotiations to make the Pit, or was it, okay, we're at an impasse. We have this on the back burner. Let's just pitch it.
- [39:04]
B
I think they came to an impasse, and this is what's alleged, and that people turned to each other and said, let's slightly change the idea, but we've got all the same DNA in the bones of it. We'll call it something else, we'll change one or two main points, and we'll move on. And it got greenlit. And of course, now the Crichton family and Warner Brothers are in this, like, landmark legal dispute, because the reflection is, what is the DNA of a TV show, right? And so they're saying, well, if John Wells and Noah Wiley were about to do an ER reboot, and they just rename it and it's a new idea, and now the Crichton family doesn't get any of the benefits of it, like, how much did it change? And is she entitled? They don't. You know, it's hard to know.
- [39:54]
A
I guess it's just like, isn't. Isn't every sitcom the same? Like, I've seen an episode of er. The Pit is much better. It's much better. I think it's just, like, totally done better. I just. I think that they're very different. That's like. That would be like saying, if you pitched. I don't know, it just. If you pitched a sitcom, you can't ever pitch a sitcom again. Like, it's just like a strange. Because aren't they all the same? Aren't they all. There's laugh tracks and there are 22 minutes plus commercials. Like, the framework of all of it is the same, right? Like, what's the difference?
- [40:34]
B
The difference here is the lead up. If Noah Wiley and John Wells had come together and formulated a pitch completely separate and done it on their own, then, yes, you could totally make that. The problem is, is that everything, Months, months of development had gone on about this ER reboot, and they took all the bones of that, you know, put a new top on and then just pitched it and sold it.
- [41:01]
A
But how can you pitch it and sell it that quickly? That was more my question. Like, within a week. Don't these things take months? Like, does it or doesn't it take, like, a year for something to be greenlit?
- [41:12]
B
Well, that's. That's a dispute, right? Because the Crichton family saying is, hey, this was 90% the idea we worked on, which is why you had it so ready. And then when it came to the time to sell, then, you know, you just put a new label on it and sold it. But this is what we had worked on. And. And that's really why it's going to become an important case. Because they'll have to say, like, what's irreplaceable in the creative soup?
- [41:42]
A
Yep, yep.
- [41:44]
B
Yeah. I mean, you hear this a lot less and less, but you could sell something in the room, right? Like, if you're powerful enough, you put, you know, an executive's feet to the fire and say, hey, I just want to let you know you've got first dibs on this till I get to HBO in an hour, and then they get it, and then you guys can fight it out in a bidding war.
- [42:08]
A
Fascinating. Fascinating.
- [42:11]
B
A buy in the room or. Or a phone call on your way to the car? I've only gotten one phone call on my way to the car in my life. And fuck, does it feel good?
- [42:21]
A
So good. Amazing. This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Shopify, folks. We made it. We're in the new year, and let me tell you, the beginning of January, okay, is about reflecting. Okay, you're thinking about. Actually, look, if you're a real pro, you did this in December, okay? You're behind the eight ball. No, I'm kidding. I don't mean to stress you out. The beginning of January is about reflecting. What do we do in 2025? What did we want to do in 2025 that we didn't do? Did we have a really great business idea, but we really just didn't know how to do it? We didn't know how to get started. We thought we needed all this money. We thought that we needed all these people, okay? And we didn't do it. 2025, beginning 2026, January, about reflecting. Okay? Now that we've reflected, now we are going to spring into action. I have a couple of questions for you. Is this a side hustle, okay, that you've been wanting to start? Is this a merch store? Is this a full fledged business? Are you looking to just maybe make a little extra money on the side? Let me tell you the greatest first step, and often this is like the hundredth step. This is so often when I talk to founders, entrepreneurs, this is the part where they hire a team, okay? They go out, they raise their precious money, and then they spend 200 grand. You heard that, right? On some UX company to build them a website. That's just wrong. The order of operations is wrong. You can't envision your business until you have a website. You can't test and learn if this is a product or merch or whatever it is that people are actually gonna want until you have a website. So let me tell you, it's the middle of January. We've already determined what we didn't do in 2025 that we wanna do in 2026. We are energized. And let me tell you folks, now is the time. Go to shopify.com/good guys and make your site. It's literally never been easier, Never ever, ever been easier for you to build a website. Literally in the history of websites, you know how expensive they used to be? I mentioned 200 grand. It probably used to cost $2 million. When these people literally were using their big phones, they there was wasn't even a cordless phone. Even cordless phone is dating myself, the corded phone. And you were trying to build a website and you were trying to do SEO, you know, expensive. That was. We're living in a time where it couldn't be cheaper. We're living in a time of AI. We're living where you don't even have to do anything. You just need to tell Shopify's AI what you want to do and they're going to spit out an incredible website and all of a sudden you are going to be able to see is this a mass market product or is this really sweet merch? You can send it around with a private password to your friends and family, ask for feedback, but don't listen to them, okay? They're going to be negative, okay? Don't send it to friends and family. Send it to a tight knit group of big dreamers. The people around you, I'm sorry to say, most of them, they're not going to understand it. They're going to say, oh, that's not a good idea. There's so much competition. They're not wrong. But you're a big dreamer, okay? And we're going to dream all the way to the top two together. Folks. I'm telling you, this is our year. This is the year to do it. Shopify is the place to do it. Shopify Sidekick plus a suite of AI tools are a total game changer. It's revolutionizing the way you can build and manage a business. It's like having your own personal assistant guiding you through everything. Directions, reports, adding images, content, ideas and more. Shopify has got you covered, folks. They've got you covered. You don't have to hire that big team yet. Proof of concept. Proof of concept. Go and make your site. Go and sell a couple of things. Go and at least envision it. Say, oh, you know, if I came across this website, I would buy this product. Then that sounds like a really good business for you to go into, folks@shopify.com goodguys if you're ready to take the next step in your life and get started today, it's time to stop thinking and start doing. And there's no better way to do that than with Shopify. Use our link shopify.com goodguys now to start getting serious about building your future.

Are we topical or what? I think I've cracked the code to topical, Josh. It's just for us. It's tv. Let's just pick another show. We'll just watch. We'll be on the. We'll be on the weekly episodes. That's it. That's topical. We don't have to talk about who's divorcing who, who went to jail, who did this. That's not us, okay? We're TV guys, okay? We're big tv.
- [46:49]
B
We're total TV guys. I mean, I'm trying to look at. I'm looking at page six over here.
- [46:55]
A
I don't need it. We don't need it. They're great, but we don't need it.
- [46:59]
B
Josh, hold on. Let me go to tmz. Maybe that's something. Maybe we need it.
- [47:02]
A
Maybe there's something we need we could need. We could need it. Maybe depending on what's there, we could need it. Maybe we don't need it.
- [47:11]
B
Ludacris drops out a kids rock the country tour after. I don't know. Obviously, we don't need that. We don't need that. Lamar. Lamar Odom was arrested for DY in Vegas. Darn it, Lamar.
- [47:28]
A
Sorry, Lamar. I wonder what the. I wonder what the poly market odds were on Lamar Odom getting a DUI again in his life. Probably really high.
- [47:37]
B
You hold out hope for him and Chloe. I do.
- [47:40]
A
No, no, no. I hold out hope for him as a human being. Because before Chloe, my God, was he fun to watch. What a Laker. Just like a long lefty. Kobe, he was sick. Like, Lamar Odom was fun.
- [47:58]
B
Oh, he was the best.
- [48:00]
A
He was Kobe's Chris Bosh.
- [48:02]
B
It was him. Kobe Fox, Trevor Ariza.
- [48:06]
A
Yeah, that was that team. Pau Gasol.
- [48:09]
B
That was hot.
- [48:10]
A
Pau Gasol was hot. I was the Spaniard.
- [48:14]
B
Weren't there a bunch of scumbags playing Heil Hitler at a club in Miami this weekend?
- [48:20]
A
Oh, yeah. We could get into that if you want to, but, yeah, every. Every single. It was like an Avengers of the worst. Right. Right wing. Like, just. Just the worst. People were the worst.
- [48:37]
B
The worst.
- [48:38]
A
Nick Fuentes, Marlon Gaines. Like, the worst of the worst. And it's so funny. You will see. You will often see them find their way into mainstream, and you're like, oh, they're not that bad. And then you. You literally watch a video of Marlon, he's hiling Hitler. Like, there's no. There's no room for that. There's no room. Like, I don't. I can't hear you anymore. I can't hear any of you anymore.
- [49:07]
B
Do you think they ever come off as not awful? I think they come off as awful every second of every moment I see them.
- [49:13]
A
I guess I just see them collaborating with people. Like, I've seen them in clips. They're obviously bad people, but sometimes you hear sound bites and you're like, oh, maybe they. I can't even hear them anymore. There's nothing to hear when you do that. There's nothing to hear. And they can't be platformed anymore. And there can't be any. Like, there's no excuse. There's no excuse. And if you look, I was reading the comments below, and people love them. It's so awful. People are so brainwashed. They are so sure that the Jews are the cause for all of their problems. All 16 million Jews are the cause for everyone's problems.
- [50:02]
B
You know what were the cause of problems? For more ramps. Let's be honest.
- [50:07]
A
Yeah.
- [50:08]
B
If your establishment had to put in a ramp, it was probably because a Kavachi Jew was, like, this many steps.
- [50:18]
A
Were 100% responsible for the ramp. Were responsible for the handicap placard. Okay, well, the placard. That is amazing.
- [50:29]
B
I told you they're hard to get your hands on.
- [50:32]
A
My dad got one, Josh. And God bless.
- [50:34]
B
Mazeld Mazo.
- [50:36]
A
Oh, it's a dream. It's a golden ticket. Okay? The handicapped placard's a golden ticket.
- [50:42]
B
There is nothing. You know what you need is a. A ticket to Disneyland and a disabled friend. Because you are. This is gonna be front row life for you.
- [50:52]
A
I'm in. We need it. We need more disabled friends. Okay, we do. We do.
- [50:57]
B
Disabled friends with benefits. Let's look at the.
- [51:03]
A
So many. So many.
- [51:05]
B
Right?

- [51:14]
B
Yes.
- [51:14]
A
We need to get these girls on the show. We need to talk to them. If you guys don't know them, they're a beautiful TikTok account where they tell you where you and your 300 pound caboose will be most comfortable at Disney or at any of the theme parks. Plus size park hoppers. They're the future. This is it. Okay. This is it.
- [51:33]
B
Should we get to a speak pipe?
- [51:35]
A
Yeah, let's do it.
- [51:40]
B
If you want to leave us a message, get some advice, go to speakpipe.com goodguys and leave us a moron mail. Get some advice. Ask us a question. But it's better when you have a real story. I need to give you. We're in a crisis, Ben, and I need your help.
- [51:55]
A
Tell me. Tell me the this.
- [51:58]
B
I don't know if it's just the new year. The moron mail is as bad as it's ever been.
- [52:04]
A
Really?
- [52:04]
B
It's Drac.
- [52:06]
A
Okay. All right. So we need better moron mail. All right. Like, that's it. Unless you guys don't want it. We need better mail.

B
We might have to can it because.

A
Of how bad it is.
- [52:17]
B
Yeah, they're not. They're not giving, by the way.
- [52:20]
A
Save more on mail. If you want to save more on mail, you need to leave us more on mail. That's good. Otherwise we're just going to replace it and we could bring in a new segment, no problem.
- [52:31]
B
We need you to be in crisis and need our help. We need you to air out your family's dirty laundry. We don't know you. You won't get in trouble.
- [52:41]
A
You don't know us.
- [52:42]
B
For us to comment.
- [52:43]
A
Exactly. You don't know us. These people, Josh, you know what it is? They're sitting front row at the comedy show. The comedian's asking them what they do, and they're telling them exactly what they do, what their name really is. And they're getting very uncomfortable. Make it up. Make it all up. Your name is Christine. Your name is now Anne. You work in pharmaceuticals. No. You work at a gas station. You were robbed at gunpoint okay. They robbed you over a Frito lay. You've never even had Fritos. Make it up.
- [53:07]
B
Perfect. This first one's from Hallie.
- [53:10]
C
Love your podcast. Wanted to point something out that you might find interesting. I play the New York Times game Connections every day, and I want you guys to take a look at the answers for January 18th. All I'm gonna say is, Josh, I'm glad you're finally getting some recognition around here.
- [53:29]
B
So I'll tell you, I got a lot of. A lot of dms and messages about this. I don't play the game, but apparently it was old school. Famous Hollywood actors, and it was something like Tracy Gable, Peck, and something else.
- [53:48]
A
Wow.
- [53:49]
B
Here's the problem, Ben. People are real dumb. First of all, I'm not that old. I'm not from the 50s. Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Gregory Peck from To Kill a Mockingbird. It's not Josh Peck. You dweebs. Do you know nothing. Like, I love you and thank you for thinking of me that the New York Times thought of me in the breath of some of our greatest 114-year-old actors. But, like, it's nonsensical. It wasn't like Teller Hill Peck.
- [54:31]
A
It wasn't fucking Bell Beethoven, Van Gogh dummies.
- [54:39]
B
It wasn't like bell Workheiser, Screech Peck, you idiots. Like, oh, my God, people are really.
- [54:49]
A
Scary, but just keep leaving us to speak. Pipes, don't worry, you're doing great.
- [54:58]
B
Scuffs off. Speaking of, let's hear lastly from. Let's hear from Anonymous.
- [55:07]
C
Hi, Josh and Ben. Love the pod. I am a fitness instructor, and I feel like I keep saying the same things over and over again to my members. Like, that was great, guys. Good job. But I need some new sayings to say. Like, what are some good ideas that I can, like, use to encourage the people working out at my gym?
- [55:25]
A
Thanks. Oh, that's interesting. What would encourage me in the gym? I don't know, Josh.
- [55:33]
B
Good job. Chubbies.
- [55:38]
A
Probably telling me that I look skinny. That would help me, like, tell me that I look skinny even if I don't like. Ben, did you lose weight? And it's like, what do you mean? You just weighed me and I gained weight? Like, yeah, no, you look skinny. You doing something different? Tell me I look skinny.
- [55:53]
B
Or I would say something like, the average human makes 300 decisions in a day, and today you picked the right one.
- [56:04]
A
You'd go full Tony Robbins, which I like. Yeah, that works too. Motivate. I mean, motivating would work, but yeah, call Me skinny. Tell me that I'm looking good. Tell me that you can't believe how much weight I just lifted. Did you really just lit? That is amazing. I haven't seen anybody bench 90 pounds before. Like, gas me up. That's good.
- [56:26]
B
Yeah. And then maybe mess with people. Be like. Say to, like your favorite. Like, workout girly. Like, hey, are your Lululemon to see through. And then she'll just be insecure the whole time.
- [56:42]
A
So dumb.
- [56:44]
B
Should we get to. What are you nuts?
- [56:46]
A
We should. Folks. What are you nuts? Are gripes with people. Places and things both big and tall. Whatever's sticking in your craw. I led with it earlier. It's all I can talk about in this new year. I just can't believe my. What do you know? It's just me. Okay? And I want. I want to just. I want everybody to learn from me. Okay? Supplements are great. Supplements are amazing. Don't use them to solve your problem until you realize. Until you strip everything back. Okay. Josh. I thought creatine was my problem for a minute. I'm back on a little bit of creatine because I found out all I needed was 1 milligram. I don't need 5 milligrams of creatine because I'm not working out. 1 milligram. It's all you need for your brain. Okay? Pare it all back. Figure out. Okay? You're gonna. Maybe I feel better by removing things than adding things. I'm just saying do it responsibly. What I was doing was irresponsible. I was stacking supplements. It didn't make any sense. I was doing very light TikTok research. That's not research. TikTok research isn't research. Dr. Amin Coming on and telling you that saffron is gonna make you have an erection. That's not research. Okay. Even though I don't think that's true. See, I don't know. I don't know. Do your research. And less is more. Less is more. What are you, nuts? Ben? Speaking of nuts.
- [58:01]
B
Speaking of erections. And I know that you're a little funny about this stuff, but I think I want to push you in the right direction. I.
- [58:09]
A
The right erection?
- [58:10]
B
Yeah, the right direction. Knowing that thegreatro Co is a sponsor of ours and they do have a men's health section with. And not that I've looked. Sildenafil, Viagra, Cialis. Should we. I've never tried it. Have you?
- [58:27]
A
I haven't. And I can say if I really felt that I Needed to.
- [58:33]
B
I don't need it either, but, yeah.
- [58:35]
A
It would scare me. The one time I told you I took Mucinex D And I was that 1% of people that had an erection in the middle of the night. Like, what? Imagine if I took an actual thing. If that's what Mucinex D did to me. I was like that guy in the pit in this episode. You saw that big fucking wiener where.
- [58:49]
B
They had to drain the blood out.
- [58:50]
A
Of his huge direction. That was me. That was me at 3. 3 to 6 in the morning from use and XD. Imagine I got a true prescription for something that actually did that. I die.
- [59:02]
B
Well, I've heard good things. I don't need it, but I just kind of want to see, you know, I'm like, I'm an addict. If one is good, ten is better.
- [59:11]
A
By the way, we could do it. We could just, like, each popping Ed pill sit in the same room for like, eight hours. Why not?
- [59:18]
B
No, I don't think that could happen. That's insane. Okay. My Woody nuts is so. My wonderful son Shai is a fan of the show. The movie Wicked loves the soundtrack, loves the song. Popular. Now, as we know, Wicked is a prequel to the wizard of Oz, about the witches and their things. You know, Elphaba Gildalan, you know? You know, and then they're goings on. So the wonderful Ariana Grande. She has a line in Popular. She goes, don't be offended by my frank analysis. Think of it as personality dialysis. To which I thought, they have kidney failure in us.
- [60:02]
A
Yes.
- [60:03]
B
Why does Gilda know about dialysis?
- [60:07]
A
It's an excellent question, Josh.
- [60:09]
B
What are you, nuts?
- [60:09]
A
Excellent. What are you nuts?
- [60:11]
B
They got. They got nephrology and Oz.
- [60:18]
A
They also have talking animals that like. The whole thing is nuts. But the soundtrack is amazing. They spent too much money on those movies, Josh. Did people even see the second one? I didn't see the second one. I think it cashed up for the first. Oh, it did.
- [60:32]
B
I'm sure it crashed.
- [60:33]
A
Yeah, well, the first one was great. I really should see the secondary. Fine, I'll go see it.
- [60:38]
B
What are you. What did you say? After the first movie? I was bereaved. I was bereft.
- [60:46]
A
So good.
- [60:47]
B
I love it.
- [60:49]
A
