Transcript

[A]

The following podcast is a dear media production. 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 of the good guys. Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast, Josh.

[B]

I went to my barber this morning because, as you know, I got, like, probably the world's worst haircut, like, three and a half weeks ago in Boca. And I sat down in the chair, and he's like, so, what do you want? And I'm like, you know, just like, I got a bad haircut a couple weeks ago. I just, like, want to reset. And he has this thick, thick accent, maybe Romanian. So you want me to make it a little bit less egg ish? And I said, yeah, I would like you to make my head a little bit less egg ish. And he said, okay, so we're going to have to groin the sides, but in the meantime, I will flatten the top. And I said, okay. So he slightly flattened the top, but it seems as though in roughly four weeks, I will. I will redo an impulse decision from three weeks ago that was completely unnecessary, and I just thought you'd like to know that.

[A]

I thought he was going to say, you want me to make it a little less egg ish? And you go, yeah, yeah. And he goes, you're going to need the craniotomy.

[B]

He also. He also ruined my week and told me that Friday, July 3, is going to be 101 degrees in New York.

[A]

Oh, have you heard of what term they're using? It's going to be a heat dome.

[B]

It's going to be a dome of Heat 101 in New York. For those that don't live in New York and have never been in New York. Is not even like, 120 where you live? Yeah, 101 in New York. People are going to die. Like, I hope not, but people are probably going to die. That's way too fucking hot, okay? Way too hot. If we controlled the weather. Just another reason, okay, all your stereotypes against the Jews. If we controlled the weather, it would never sniff 80.

[A]

Never.

[B]

Okay. Ever. We would permanently operate between 65 and 78. Always.

[A]

You think if the Jews controlled the weather, we'd allow.

[B]

Hell, no, we don't. We don't like hail.

[A]

Frozen rocks from the sky. We'd be like maish.

[B]

More hail?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, hail's no good. No, we like just. Just simple Josh. We're simple people. We like to go outside.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We don't like to feel. You don't want to feel the weather. If you feel it, there's a problem. You want to exist in it. It's like when you go into a pool, Josh. If you feel that it's cold, too cold. If you feel that, it's hot, too hot. If you feel nothing. Bellissimo.

[A]

What's the perfect pool temp? I'm going to say 81 for me.

[B]

I just lied. I'm psycho. I like a cold. I like to jump in and I like to feel it. Yeah, but really most. Yeah. So our body Temperature is at 98. Where do you start to really feel it? Like is 81 cold? Would it feel cold?

[A]

No, I think like when you start getting into the 86 is you feel like you're in a bath. Like I think you high 70s, low 80s.

[B]

I think that sounds beautiful. Cold plunge. The upper end of a cold plunge would be like 58 to 60 and that's pretty cold. So I don't think you want anything in the 60s. I think a high 70s. I think you said 81. That sounds lovely.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, that sounds lovely. When was the last time you were in a lake?

[A]

Not soon enough, my boy. Not soon enough. I. I can't even tell you what lake.

[B]

You know.

[A]

We have them in California, but we're not a lake society, you know. We have Lake Havasu. We have. I'll tell you. I guess I do know Lake Tahoe, which is probably the most stunning lake in this great country.

[B]

Beautiful.

[A]

But it is frigid because it's a glacier runoff. So it's. It's probably between 55 and 60. It's a cold plunge.

[B]

That's also a. That's like a beautiful lake. When I think a lake, I think like some of these New York lakes, they're not so beautiful now. Okay. They're real, they're swampy. It's really column a swamp. Yeah. When was the last time you were in a swamp?

[A]

Never, ideally.

[B]

Okay, okay. No, that's fair. I'm just, I'm just. We're thinking about bodies of water. Should we move on to the ocean? When was that you were in the ocean?

[A]

Yesterday.

[B]

How was.

[A]

Oh my God. Well, it was the great Myers first birthday. God bless him.

[B]

Yes. Happy birthday to the sweet boy.

[A]

To the sweet one year old boy. So we live by the beach. We had a very low Key very low maintenance. One first birthday for young Meyer. It was beautiful. We had. But like, you know me, I'm from New Jersey. You know my people. When I think a beach party, I think tanning oil. I think, you know, tall cans of beer in paper bags.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Men with tattoos and women with cold cut, with. With mayonnaise and, and. And mustard on the edges of overly done up lips. Overly lip lips. But no, this is not it.

[B]

Not with my family.

[A]

Not these beach people.

[B]

Did you picnic? What do we eat? What are we eating? What's the spread? At the birthday party by the beach,

[A]

we had gorgeous prime pizza. The best pizza in la. Some might say many different kinds. I was in charge of this. I did a nice order. Ok. We did one gram of pie with spicy pepperoni. Calabrian chilies from Calabria. You heard of this place?

[B]

These Calabrian chilies, they have wonder. They have a wonderful public relations person. Okay, I'm just saying, it used to just be Chili's Fresno. Fresno used to be the big chili. Now all of a sudden it's Calabrian or bus. When was the last time you heard somebody talk about a Fresno chili?

[A]

I don't know, but I'd take it in a second. I'd take a Bakersfield chili if they had.

[B]

This is what I'm saying, gone Fresno. See you later. Calabrian in.

[A]

I'd like a nice chili from Sarasota.

[B]

If they could make it a Sarasotan chili. It's fantastic. Sarasotans.

[A]

Sarasotans. So, okay, so we start out with that. Then we had cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza for the children. These are standard. And then this is the real hack. You don't do eight slices, you do 16. You do this double cut, right?

[B]

Yes, of course. Of course you do. Of course, of course. Because that way they can feel like they had three slices.

[A]

Totally.

[B]

It's fantastic.

[A]

The order should be school pizza, party style, right?

[B]

Yes. Yeah, absolutely.

[A]

Then we did a vegan grandma pie, like a Sicilian cut pie for, you know, my lovely wife and whoever else is, you know, meshuggah like her. And then we did a supreme. We did a vodka pie. And then my.

[B]

How many people were there?

[A]

Three. And then we did. No,

[B]

10, probably 15.

[A]

We had two and a half pies left.

[B]

You had eight pies for 15 people?

[A]

Six.

[B]

I just want you to know, Josh, this is the only way to fucking do it. Yeah, okay. This is the only way to do it. We had people over Saturday night, crazy night. We played mahjong until nine and let me.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

And I ordered. I ordered like, $400 in sushi. It's four people. There was a little bit left over. Let me tell you, Josh, you come to my house and you finish sushi, and I think you're still hungry. I'm going to be thinking about that until the next time you come over. And then they're like, can I Venmo you? Why are you insulting me? Can you Venmo me? Get out of here. If anybody at that party comes up to you and says, can I Venmo you for pizza? It's insulting, isn't it, Josh? It's insulting, but it's different. Your money is no good air.

[A]

This is a party, though. This is a birthday party. If someone came over for dinner, I think what you're doing is right. But I would. I also, if I went over to someone's house for, like a dinner like that, and it was $400 in sushi, said, Can I throw you 100 bucks under 50 bucks? And they were like, sure, I wouldn't

[B]

be offended if they said, sure, I'd be offended. Because you didn't get any opportunity to order. That's not right. Maybe you wouldn't have ordered 400. Maybe you wouldn't have splurged for the omakase. Maybe you wouldn't have gotten three extra spices.

[A]

What are you nuts?

[B]

Yeah, I did not. Yeah, I did. It's actually the. The cheaper level is called sushi dinner, but it's effectively the same thing. Pieces, you don't really know what they're doing. You're right. In kosher style. So there's no shellfish. And let me tell you. Oh, my God. Sushi seki, Upper east side, they have a spicy mayonnaise. This spicy mayo. The thing is sushi, for me, it has to be great sushi, but it really is just a vessel to the mayo. That's it. That's it. It's kind of like something like a spinach artichoke dip, you know?

[A]

No, it's not.

[B]

You don't really need the tortilla, you know?

[A]

No, you don't.

[B]

You don't need to just go straight to the dip. You take a spoon and you just go, I don't really need the fish. Next time, I should really just order a small quart container of the spicy mayonnaise.

[A]

Can I say jiro sushi?

[B]

My dreams of sushi just had a

[A]

heart attack listening to this.

[B]

And I say, hold the fish. Mayo. Hold the fish.

[A]

Hey.

[B]

What a beautiful birthday party, Josh.

[A]

What a beautiful birthday party. I'm still stuck on that. You're ordering amakase to the house. Oh, my God. Like, that is such a. Because half of the. Here's the thing about amakase, right? It's a temperature play. It's a delivery play, right? A lot of times they will literally make the bite, and they do the thing where they over. They fondle the rice. Listen. Oh, yeah, listen. You're all freaks, you sushi chefs. They follow the rice and they do. And it's a warm rice and the cold fish, and they go. They do no soy sauce on this one. Right in the mouth, right? So you're foregoing half of that, but paying full retail. I'm a costume. To the house is fucking my sugar. What are you, a Saudi prince? Who, by the way, gossip to that.

[B]

By the way, when it comes to ordering in food, Josh, it's like ordering to go. I'm a. I'm a Saudi prince. If I could. If I could ensure a quality experience. Josh, on the Benihana. Now, how would Benihana do To go? Think of Benihana. They should have done this during COVID okay? Because everybody really figured it out during COVID The to go experience. They really upped their game. Nobu never delivered. Now they deliver because of COVID They make it beautiful. Imagine they give you, Josh, just like a little cast iron mini, little grill or something. No, Benihana delivers it just like that. And you get at your home, you get the full Benihana experience. And you know those Tony's the kids toy, they have a Benihana sushi chef that you put on the Tony. And you get to listen to him talk. He's speaking while you eat your. Your beautiful hibachi. I'm just saying, Josh, this is one of the worst business ideas ever. Ever.

[A]

There would be so many apartments on the Upper. There'd be so many apartments on the Upper east side set ablaze to the ground by people trying to make their own onion towers.

[B]

Oh, my God. It's like a big extinguisher. It's like a poo poo platter. To go. It comes on fire. It's delivered. Oh, wow. Wow. What a great. What a great time that would be. I do a great last time. Great last meal.

[A]

Yeah, One and only. I told you I want to do. I. You know, we bought a Blackstone, so now I have gorgeous. My house is like a waffle house, okay? I'm like a short order cook. Ding, ding, orders up and. Yeah, but I want to do. We've done Breakfast. We've done smash burgers. You know, typical fair classic. I want to do hibachi, and I'm wondering how I'd go about that.

[B]

Hibachi is fantastic. You could do fajitas. You want to have a nice taco night, Josh? Okay, you put fajitas on the Blackstone. Fantastic. You put a little steak, too. You do steak, you do chicken, you do those beautiful roasted vegetables. It's the same thing. By the way, fajitas are Mexican Hibachi. Hibachi, no difference. Just different flavors, different, different spices. By the way, why. Oh, my God. I have the best idea. Why don't we make a Mexican restaurant that serves fajitas hibachi style?

[A]

Hell, yes.

[B]

You have eight people around a table.

[A]

Love that.

[B]

And you're ordering fajitas tacos. They bring over a guac cart. Oh, yeah. This is. By the way, this is a great idea.

[A]

I know. I can't believe we came up with it.

[B]

What do we call it?

[A]

Panahana Spenahanas. Rocky Benahana. Named after the guy named after Steve Aoki's dad. Maybe we name it after another dj, Diplos.

[B]

Okay, Diplos. I. If. As long as he's funding it.

[A]

What's Diplo's dad's name? Mr. Diplos.

[B]

Dip.

[A]

Diploma.

[B]

Dip Shit. Dip.

[A]

Fuck. What's another one?

[B]

Dip high. Ok, what's another. Yeah, no, we just need, like, a really badass, badass, badass Mexican person who's like the king of. Who's like the most prominent Mexican person,

[A]

I mean, there, man. George Lopez.

[B]

Sure. Oh, that's good. We can.

[A]

George Lopez. I'm trying to think of. Wonderful. I mean, there's so many. Canelo Alvarez.

[B]

Alvarez and Lopez.

[A]

That'd be great.

[B]

I love it, I love it, I love it. This is an amazing idea. We're going to work on the celebrity partner. We're going to work on the name.

[A]

Great.

[B]

But just so you guys know, what

[A]

left to be done, I think we got it. We crack.

[B]

Maybe coming. Maybe coming to a tier 3 city near you in 2029. Mexican Hibachi.

[A]

Mexican hibachi and Modesto.

[B]

We can't try it here. We'll get eaten alive.

[A]

No. What are we just going to.

[B]

We're going to open one in Oklahoma City. There's going to be a vegan hibachi

[A]

next to your local Big Lots. Or.

[B]

Or we could just rent half of, like, a low performing banana.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And we put up. And we put up a curtain, and it's like you are now entering Spanish Benihana. Ooh, baby, I love it.

[A]

Do you know there's off brand hibachi, like in the Valley in la, we have yamatos, which is just Benahanas, but yamatos.

[B]

Josh, do you know that if you go to Borough park, there's kosher hibachi?

[A]

Really?

[B]

Oh, yeah, plenty. And they have kosher sake and there's sake mi sake. You and their sprint. The Jews love hibachi. And there are plenty of plenty of plenty of kosher abachi spots in Brooklyn.

[A]

Except the kosher abachi spot is called Benny and Hana's.

[B]

Benny, Benny, Benny. So good. It's good. It's so dumb. Ah, no, it's not. It's so good.

[A]

Oh, man.

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Little Spoon. Folks, anyone who's a parent knows feeding decisions aren't a one time thing. You have to make them again and again and again. And they change at every stage. Whether you're a baby, you're a kid, you're a big kid, you're an adult, we're all eating different things. Or maybe you're just a picky eater. Okay? And that happens at all stages of life. One day they want sweet potatoes, the next day they want blueberries. One day your wife wants pizza, the next day she wants fresh caught halibut. Okay, I'm speaking from experience. These aren't a one time thing. And too often the options out there, they just don't meet the standards for what you want for your child. Parents are constantly asked to compromise on ingredients, nutrition, transparency and even safety. But folks, Little Spoon takes care of you at every single stage one or really takes care of your child at every single stage. Little Spoon supports babies, okay? First and foremost, the baby stage. From their very first feed with baby cereal, baby blends. When solids begin, first bites, first spoons, all of it. They do all of it. Then when we move on to the toddler stage, they have biteables, okay, which are cut into little bite sized pieces. They have pinchable meals that make the transition to table food feel easy. Supporting self feeding skills, palate expansion and real nutrition at the same time. They do big kids as the big appetites come in and the picky eaters. They have so much wonderful food and we're talking these lunchers, okay? They're nostalgic, but they're better for you. So the kids can have fun. We took away all the fun from the kids. Now they can have their fun, but still in a nutritious way. They have snacks. And most importantly, you get peace of mind at every stage. With 100 plus ingredients banned across the board, we don't have to overthink labels or when we are with Little Spoon, folks, feeding the kids doesn't have to be complicated.

[A]

this episode is brought to you by Starbucks.

[B]

Josh, have you ever seen a more gorgeous beverage? Do you know what this is?

[A]

First of all, it's the summer I'm ready to enjoy myself. But I need a cold drink to define me. So I'm all in. Just a disclaimer. Go Ben.

[B]

This tropical butterfly refresher is honestly like an award winning painting. I've never seen anything like it. I feel like I'm in East Hampton. It's eight o'.

[A]

Clock.

[B]

I turned to my wife, I said, let's go to the beach. Let's prioritize us. And all of a sudden I see this drink. This is. This is it, Josh. This is a happy summer. This is a happy summer.

[A]

And you know what? You're in East Hampton. I'm in the carpool line at my kids camp. My wife's frustrated with me. We've been dealing with, I can't tell you what. But the truth is I go, I need a little something to pep up my day. Tropical refresher. Boom.

[B]

It's Gorgeous. This is the pep in my step that I need. Josh, can we give this a taste? Let me try this.

[A]

Too late, too late.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It is so freaking good. Oh, my God, it is so good. Are you.

[A]

Are you getting those guava and passion fruit flavors? Coming through.

[B]

That's exactly what I'm getting. This is guava and passion fruit.

[A]

You know what they are, actually, I think they're mango pineapple flavored pearls.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[A]

I mean, it makes drinking fun, right? Like, I'm so tired of just, like, hitting the straw, getting the liquid. I want a little something, like a little surprise, you know?

[B]

This is the most delicious drink I've ever had. And if you want yours, you can order it on the Starbucks app. Every day I wake up, I put my order on the app. I go, there, it's ready. This was literally ready.

[A]

This drink is literally your summer cheat code. It's tropical. It's refreshing, like us. I got a nice. Thank you here. Sometimes I get a, you know, like a little inspirational quote.

[B]

Oh, Starbucks. Wow. Delicious.

[A]

So good.

[B]

Unlock all the best summer memories with the tropical butterfly refresher at Starbucks.

[A]

Do you need time to. I guess now that you live in Florida for part of the year, you've kind of embrace the slower suburban lifestyle. But do you need time, once you get to, like, the Hamptons, to decompress and, like, get sort of that city energy out?

[B]

I think that now that I spend so much time in Florida, I crave that. Like, I'm in this. I'm. I'm in this concrete jungle, just stressing, just, like, figuring out when can I slow the hell down?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, no, it's. It's more so, like, I feel like once I'm there, it's gonna just, like, a deep breath. Not everything's so urgent. Not everything's so far. I don't know. I'm just excited. They have the best coffee. Hampton Coffee Company. I finally. Josh. I finally found great coffee. And I know New York City. You should be able to find great coffee everywhere. I'm a very specific guy, as you know. I'm looking for just, like, a nice hazelnut iced coffee. Not syrup. It's a steeped bean. I found Butterfield in New York. It's amazing. And out there, it's called Hampton Coffee Company. If you haven't been, check them out. Phenomenal, phenomenal hazelnut coffee. I don't want the sugar, Josh. I don't Want the sugar free syrup either? I don't want any of that. Just steep my beans in a little bit of hazelnut and then I can drink it black. You like hazelnut coffee?

[A]

Oh, yeah. I'm down to clown for all flavored coffees. And I think you need to. I think growing up and becoming a man is realizing that black coffee is the only way to drink it.

[B]

I agree with you. I am basically at. Even when I have milk, it's a tablespoon of whole milk.

[A]

And what does that do for you, that little amount of milk?

[B]

I think that it just like slightly changes the color and taste, but maybe it doesn't. And maybe just black coffee. One Splenda is all I need.

[A]

Oh, so you're adding Splenda Big time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You are?

[B]

Big time.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

Big time, big time, big time, big time, big win.

[A]

You know what?

[B]

I'm gonna try just black hazelnut and I'll call you when I've climbed a tree and I need your help getting down. Okay. No Splenda, no milk, no nothing. I'll be on the roof.

[A]

I do basically what I do because I ingest too much caffeine. I. I wake up, I crack open an ice cold energy drink. Ooh, nice. Ghost.

[B]

What's your energy drink of choice?

[A]

Ghost? I love a ghost. I love an Alani. I love the great Prime. I think prime makes a wonderful array of beverages.

[B]

What do you think about Celsius? Celsius?

[A]

I fucks with Celsius. Sure.

[B]

Yeah, they're pretty good. I had their kiwi strawberry flavor recently, and I'm not a huge energy drink guy. It's delicious.

[A]

My wife, the only energy drink she drinks, and she drinks it every day, is a kiwi guava. Celsius, the only flavor she enjoys.

[B]

That's a nice flavor. Kiwi strawberry. Kiwi guava. Is that what you said? Kiwi guava.

[A]

Kiwi guava.

[B]

That's how you know, by the way, that you're a very, very large, successful beverage company. When you've dabbled into a flavor called kiwi guava.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That means that they have. Yeah. Because that's like what the hundredth concoction you'd think of. We're starting an energy drink company. You start with first the baseline flavors. Strawberry, raspberry, the single flavors. Then maybe you'd go strawberry kiwi. To get to strawberry guava, it's got to be your hundredth. Just saying.

[A]

Growing up this in New York, you remember when Snapple dropped?

[B]

Of course, it was the greatest.

[A]

It was the greatest and did you? I remember like originally there was raspberry and peach and lemon. Those were like the flavors. Right. And typical iced tea fare. And then the fourth flavor was kiwi strawberry.

[B]

Unbelievable.

[A]

Kids who fucked with that? I was like, yo, these kids travel. I was like, yo, Kareem is exotic because, like, I just, I had never. That flavor profile in the 90s was brand new.

[B]

I was way too fat to consume it regularly. But a great treat when I wasn't having a diet peach was Snapple Apple. Snapple Apple.

[A]

Snapple Apple.

[B]

Sure, Snapple Apple was a serious flavor, but really you had to be skin. You can't be fat having Snapple Apple. It's too much sugar. It's too much. You have too much guilt around it. Did they ever. Why didn't they ever make a diet Snapple apple? I think that would crush.

[A]

What, what is that gap. And I know it's been very memed. Right. Because you do have that break point where you get over £350 where you start drinking sugar soda again.

[B]

Yes, yes. Yeah.

[A]

Thin, really skinny people drink, drink sugar soda and then people that are 20 to 100 pounds overweight. The idea of full sugar soda, full fat, as the UK calls it, is like an impossible dream. Never would we touch it. So why, Benjamin, are you and I drinking diet sodas at £250? And there are these little Pitzel 160 pounders crushing a full fat Coke because

[B]

we have, we have mental problems. Yeah. Like, because we're damaged. Like that's, that's 100% what it is. Right. Like, I would rather, I would rather drink a liter. You know, those big Snapple bottles. I'd rather drink a liter of Snapple. It's probably even more than a liter. It's a. Maybe it's a gallon. A gallon of Snapple. I don't know if you've seen those big plastic bottles. I'd rather drink a gallon of diet Snapple than one singular regular Snapple. Yeah. And there's no way that that sugar free gallon is better for me than the one Snapple. I think that what diet allows you to at least believe. And it's probably true because it's calories in calories out is. You can still have your volume. I don't want to drink one Snapple. I want to drink five. I don't want to drink one can of soda. I want to have six refills in a diner. It's a complete volume play. The idea of going to a diner, Josh, and ordering a regular Coke on Refills is meshuggah.

[A]

Right?

[B]

You're going to have six regular Cokes. No, but if you have six Diet Cokes, the worst thing is that you had too much caffeine, but you're not going to have what would probably be 400 grams of sugar. Right. It's a volume thing.

[A]

It's a. It's a volume thing. But tell me. I think it's also that we overeat in areas because we think that we are under eating with our liquid intake.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Because basically are at a neutral. So we go, ooh, we can really go harder in the desserts on the side dishes. Like, tell me a nutrition fallacy you told yourself in your weight loss days. Like, for me, I remember when I started to lose weight, I would eat a rack of ribs and I'd just be like, keto season. And I would still do it. Barbecue sauce, but a rack, a side of an animal, half of their rib cage. And, yeah, I would look at people who were eating, like, half a burger and a couple fries, and I would be like, you pig. Like, have some restraint. They're like, dog, you just down 3,000 calories. And I'd be like, I'm Atkins.

[B]

Yeah, for sure. Those. Those diets are especially problematic because you get used to eating such volume. The biggest problem is the volume. Like, yeah, you. By the way, you'd probably lose weight if you said to yourself, I'm only eating racks of ribs for the rest of my life. You'd lose weight, no question. Eventually you'd become sick of it, you'd eat less of it, whatever. But it's the idea of eating that volume that then applies itself everywhere else. Right. Like, for me, the fallacy, which I still have to this day, is if I buy diet candy, I'm good. If I buy smart sweets, my new obsession is Drizzalicious. If you haven't had that, holy shit. And let me tell you the problem, Josh. On the front, it says 90 calories per serving. They're just basically like Quaker rice cakes with, like, a little drizzle of chocolate or whatever.

[A]

Love it.

[B]

The problem is the whole bag, which doesn't sound bad. The whole bag is 450 calories. It's a big bag, but you can. You eat it really fast. Like. Like you can crush that. And because they're rice cakes, they don't fill you up at all. Like, this is like this. There's nothing in it. So I, at one point, like, I was eating probably a bag a day. That's an extra 450 calories a day. That's too much. Way too much. So, yeah, and smart sweets, okay, you go, and they're 100 apiece. You got to have four. Like, so then why didn't I just have a Snickers? Snickers is less.

[A]

It's like Fruit Riot. Like, but maybe Fruit Riot is mostly fruit. And then there's also coconut oil on it. Not good for my cholesterol. I went to my cardiologist, like, your cholesterol is up. I've been eating a bag of Fruit Riot a day. He's like, it's like Fruit Riot because it is mostly fruit, but then there's like a sugar sour coating and some oil in there. But it's still like, yeah, I can knock out a whole bag and it's about 400 or 450 calories. And good calories, bad calories. It's still calories in.

[B]

Yeah. Is that not better? Like, I had and I just. I stopped it. Like, my. My fridge is full. Like, okay, so you have the drizzle. Ish. You have the smart sweets. Then I have the true fruits. You have the fruit rides, all this stuff. And you just think to yourself, it's like, you know, you crush a bag of TruFrew, that's 700 calories. And it's. If you're the type of person that can have five true fruits. Amazing, right? Then that's great for you. If you're the person that can have 10 grapes from fruit. Right. Great. These are great options for you. Otherwise, I don't know why I'm not just picking up a fruit roll up. A fruit roll up is less calories significantly than Fruit Riot. Right? Like one of the. What is it called? Berkshire. Those chocolate covered blueberries. Berkshire fabulous. Why aren't I picking up a pack of those instead of Trufros? That's probably 200 calories. They're fucking delicious. And in the end of the day, I'm just trying to curb a sweet tooth anyways. But if I'm going to go and curb a sweet tooth with 500 calories and healthy candy, that's. That's my delusion.

[A]

Ugh.

[B]

It's not. It's not. It's not a thing. It's not a thing. For people who have volume problems, I

[A]

just want to do a sugar cleanse so bad and I'll never, ever do it.

[B]

So do I.

[A]

So do I. I do want to know what it feels like. Neil Brennan was talking about it. There's a new episode of his podcast Blocks where he interviewed Jordan Jensen. It's one of the best POD episodes I've ever heard. And they talked about a sugar detox.

[B]

And he said, I'm gonna listen.

[A]

He had a sugar day. He used to have a sugar day on Sundays. He doesn't even do that anymore. But he, he would have a sugar day on Sundays where he's like, I'd literally eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner because I want sugar all week. He's like. So I'd eat like crazy pancakes in the morning with all the things. And then for dinner I would just have ice cream. And he's like, and the rest of the week is all salads and protein. I think he's vegan. So he said, and Sunday I would crush sugar. Monday morning I'd want sugar. But by Wednesday I forgot about it. Like, I wonder. I've heard it takes two weeks, but I would love. I know that there is a horizon you can get over and it won't be biting at you. But I've never given myself that leeway cuz I never go more than a day without it.

[B]

Yeah, it's so interesting. I would love, love, love to do the same. I've also thought recently Claudia, by the way, started shutting her phone Friday night to Saturday night too. So we're just like, it's. Which by the way, it's so much nicer having her not on her phone too, us doing it together. But I've started to think to myself, which is not real, could never happen in the modern world or very hard. But I wonder how amazing you'd feel after three days without your phone or five days without your phone, or a week. I wonder similarly if you'd go through. It's different because it's basically impossible to function in today's society without one. It's impossible to do work, it's impossible to do anything. I wonder how amazing you'd feel. And it's all of these things. The reason I thought about both of them is they all become significantly easier once you've done them for a couple of days. I'm sure the sugar thing, I know you said two weeks. I'm sure if you went off sugar for a week, you wouldn't crave it. I'm sure it would. I'm sure it would get much better. And I wonder how good you'd feel. But did he. He's still eating fruit, right? Or we. Or no fruit. Like zero sugar or zero artificial sugar, I bet you.

[A]

I think what would probably be best is to take sugar out for two weeks or take fruit out for two weeks to remove all. And then if you were going to slowly introduce. Yes, slowly introduce fruit because it's fructose. It's a different kind of sugar for sure. But I can't.

[B]

I can't tell you that from myself. Like, sugar, like that never has made me not feel good. I could eat in like so much watermelon and cantaloupe and honeydew and you. You name it, and I've never not felt good from it. But if I have a little too much candy, I'm screwed. I feel terrible. My head hurts. I think it's the inflammation that comes from sugar, but I don't get inflamed the same way from a fruit or. I bought date syrup. Josh, this is delicious. You ever put date syrup in your coffee?

[A]

No.

[B]

Fantastic. Really? It's really. Yeah, it's yummy. Really yummy. Yeah.

[A]

They say on the glucose profile it doesn't have a big glycemic spike.

[B]

God, we're so good.

[A]

God, we're fucking amazing.

[A]

Do you want to get to a weird story?

[B]

I would love a weird story. What's going on in the universe? What's going on?

[A]

This is a perfect segue because I gotta say one thing. First of all, here's the story. Wingstop's latest flavor features Jamoy and Tahin. Chamoy keeps finding new places to show up. And Wingstop is the latest brand, giving the sweet, tangy flavor profile its own spotlight. The chain just unveiled Sweet Heat Chamoy featuring Tajin as a new limited time flavor that layers a custom Chamoy inspired dry rub with a drizzle of Tajin chamoy sauce.

[B]

Sounds okay. Now dig into Wingstop. I know that's why you brought it up. What's our beef with Wingstop today?

[A]

Wingstop made it right.

[B]

Oh, nice.

[A]

Wing stop. Made it right. Okay. Wingstop heard the pod and they're giving

[B]

us a free franchise.

[A]

They said, listen, I mean, they made it kind of right. They said, look, we don't want no trouble. I said, this is not my intention. It's just become a beautiful story for me. They go, here's a. They gave me a nice gift card couple hundo. It's gonna take care of me for at least the rest of the year. Very nice piecemeal. On behalf of Wings up, this is much appreciated. I Will not forget. I will not forget this. This act of generosity.

[B]

Okay. I'm just saying we would. We would prefer a discounted franchisee.

[A]

A metal brand deal would be better. Sure.

[B]

That, that, that as well would. Would be great.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So what is this flavor? I've never heard of. Of course I've heard of Tajin, but I've never heard of this first flavor profile. What is it called?

[A]

Chamoy. You never heard of it?

[B]

Chamoy. No, we don't have. We, we don't. We don't do Chamoy. Here. You do chamoy.

[A]

You do it. Go to. Go to Publix in South Florida. I mean, go. Go to a bodega in, In, In Harlem. Go. Yeah. In any Latin area. It's amazing. It's. But it's kind of like a sweet chili syrup almost.

[B]

Sweet, sweet chili. Love a sweet chili.

[A]

So.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It's so delicious. I mean, Mexican desserts in general are elite. Yum, my boy.

[B]

Yum. Fantastic.

[A]

Growing up, we used to eat these things called Lucas candies that were. But I mean, tres leches.

[B]

Flan, Flan, Flan. Oh, could I put down a flan?

[A]

Dude in general is so good. God, what a gorgeous country. Gorgeous people.

[B]

Oh, wow. Now all I want is flan. All right. Yeah. Wingstop. I'm happy that you.

[A]

Sounds good.

[B]

Right by my boy. It sounds amazing. Yeah, it sounds amazing. I love a sweet chili. I'm a big sweet chili fan. And that Tajin. I'm good with Tajin on me. I'm out on people trying to put duckling on their fruit. I get it. I get it.

[A]

It's so good.

[B]

I just suffer me, but let me.

[A]

But if you think about it, if it's like, I think you really have to have a beautiful, ripe, ultra sweet, like a mango or a pineapple, because I was with my buddy who's a chef the other day, and we were talking about this insane chocolate chip cookie with Florida salt. Salt on it.

[B]

Delish.

[A]

Delish. I said, is there a world where any chocolate chip cookies should be served without salt? And he said, no. He's like, every single chocolate chip cookie should have salt, without question. Would you say that as a chef?

[B]

I, I, I, I would say that you, you should be very careful with how much salt you put on it. But yeah, a little sprinkle. A little sprinkle. Or if you're using a Florida Sal Amaldon or our beautiful sponsor, the Diamond Crystal kosher salt.

[A]

Gorgeous.

[B]

Which has amazing, flaky. This is, this is fantastic stuff. Better than the rest, you sprinkle that and you see those flakes. If you can see the flakes, you're in good shape. Don't just crack salt and you can't see it because then you're going to have a salty cookie. You know what I mean? Be careful. High quality salt. Yeah, I totally agree. Totally agree.

[A]

Well, speaking of salty cookies. The world's smallest penis title holder wants your money for enlargement surgery. Daily frustration and embarrassment. Another great one from the New York Post. He's how big?

[B]

How big are we talking?

[A]

He's seeking an endowment fund. A North Carolina man with the alleged world's smallest penis is requesting $22,000 from a public GoFundMe for his enlargement surgery. Michael Phillips, 38, has already raised $9,000 because his manhood, you guessed it, measures just.38 long.

[B]

Oh, my. Oh, yeah, yeah.38.8. Is that like. Like this?

[A]

That's an elevator button. I mean, that's like.

[B]

Is that even considered a micro penis?

[A]

It's mini micro. And he. Yeah, he just was on a morning show talking about it.

[B]

Wow, we're really bored as a society. That said, if the GoFundMe crossed my path and I was in a. No, I would never donate to somebody's penis fund.

[A]

He's got some sweet tats.

[B]

Would you donate to his penis fund?

[A]

I think if I knew him personally and I could see what he was going through.

[B]

Of course. Of course. You. You. If you're in my life and you need money for a penis enlargement surgery, you can come to me. I'll kick you in a few. Shackle. A random guy on the Internet asking me to help him grow his penis. You can miss me on that. I'd rather spend the money on omakase.

[A]

It's the hardest part. I wish there was just a level of I would donate to so many more GoFundMes that I do. I reserve it usually for people that I know or something that's vetted, just so I know that the money's going to the right place. Because I feel like you and I, Ben, and probably anyone with a public profile gets hit up daily with like, dozens of texts or dms of like, can I have money for this? Can I have money for that? And it's like, But I just don't know you, so I don't know for sure if it's going to the right thing.

[B]

Yeah, we've spoken about this before. I completely agree. It's very, very hard. It's even Hard to give to charity. Like, a lot of these charities. Like, it'll later come out. Wounded Warrior project. What percentage of that, like, went to? Like, nothing has to do with the hero. Nothing. And it's just like, I don't know. I really like to buy someone a sandwich. I don't like to give and I still will sometimes, as we know. I sometimes even get emotionally robbed by these people. But. But I like to give somebody something I would much rather. Not that I'm in the position to buy somebody a house who's homeless, but, like, that's why I love when like people band together and you see the money, like from one of those amazing videos, go to buy somebody a house. It's. It's like a tangible asset that you're giving to this person versus just like, oh, trust me, I'm going to allocate it properly. It's like, did that really make you feel better? It certainly didn't make me feel better. Like, and I think a lot of it's that too. Like, there should be some feeling for the, the giver. Right. Like, like, I. Part of the reason that I will give is also so that I can feel good about myself. That's just like me being totally honest. I'm. I'm going to give to a cause that makes me feel like I did the right thing. But I don't feel that way when I give to a mass charity and I don't know where it's going. Even if it's something storied like it's St. Jude's I need a follow up. Where did my money go? What happened to it? What did you do with it? That would be helpful.

[A]

St. Jude's is really good to give. To give them all your money.

[B]

Yeah. But by the way, St. Jude's now that you know this is just light, constructive feedback, I give you a thousand bucks. Just send me an email and say, hey, you know, we decided to put it here. They're fabulous. Is that a too much stash?

[A]

Fabulous. We should go there. You know, St. Jude's gives all their treatment for free, by the way.

[B]

Let's go.

[A]

They're the best.

[B]

I'm down to go.

[A]

We should go.

[B]

I'm down to go.

[A]

I think they're in Tennessee.

[B]

Okay, let's go. You're the only 10 I see.

[A]

Yeah, I want to go. I'm in. I would love to. I go and volunteer at the Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach. Like, I've gone to a couple Christmas things there. The Great Bicker Staffs are big donors there. But Stamos and I have done that and it's just the greatest thing in the world. And we stopped and when Covet hit, I, I don't know what the procedure would be now. I'm sure it would be back where we could come and visit. But yeah, those, those are the best. But I, I, I know what you mean and I think that, yeah, it's, it's an interesting, it's just an interesting balance and it doesn't hurt if you, yeah, it certainly helps when you know where it's going. But I also like people are always say, I'd love to give cash. And I think like, maybe it's cuz I'm in recovery. So I kind of understand it, I think maybe differently than other people when they go, like, don't give him money, he's just going to buy booze with it. And I want to go, I hope so.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, you hope, you hope he is fun.

[A]

Let him understand like and, cause I also know like to what end. I'm like, either that drink is going to drive him to get sober because as in my, I can only speak to my experience. You can tell an alcoholic something, but you can't tell him much.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Like what we react well to is catastrophe. My life has fallen apart. I've lost my family, I've lost my job, I've lost hope. I can't live this way anymore. But if someone's teetering, you're not going to convince them, unfortunately. And it's so painful for your loved ones and people you care about, you kind of have to watch them crash out because it's only when they hit that bottom that hopefully they go, I got to find a better way.

[B]

Totally, totally. And that's not to say just to go back to what I said. I do give money. I just prefer if there's the opportunity to buy. If somebody comes up to me and says like, I'm walking into a bodega, hey, can you get me a bacon, egg and cheese and a soda? Auto yes, totally. Like you're hungry and you want something to drink? Auto yes. Versus sometimes the person on the street you could walk by like, like they're like not every single person on the street am I handing money to.

[A]

Right?

[B]

But yes, you, you, I'm going in somewhere for food and you want food, no question. Then I come outside and they rob me at gunpoint. That's the, that's the positive karma.

[A]

It's a good balance.

[B]

I hand you a bacon, egg and Cheese. You put a pistol in my neck like that's.

[A]

Or your gut.

[B]

Yeah, true. Or my gut. Or my gut.

[A]

Should we get to Wiya Nuts?

[B]

Oh yes we should. I have such, I have so many good ones. Josh. Let me just quickly take a quick peek.

[A]

Oh yes, I will take a quick peek at mine and then we will re convene our Woody Nuts. Moment of the week are gripes with people, places and things both big and tall. Whatever is sticking in your craw. Benny, what do you got?

[B]

So I was in line at Chase using the atm. I get up to withdraw some money and I hear a woman behind me, she's, she's talking to someone. She goes, all right honey, I'm just going to take out $500, it won't be long and then we'll be on our way. I take out my money, I go, I look, woman is talking to her pitbull. What are you nuts? The pitbull doesn't need to know that you're taking out $500. Do you think that the pit bull like you think he understands money? You think he's fiscally responsible? I understand if you want to. People really like, they treat dogs like humans. I totally get that. You can give them love, affection, you don't need to give them a play by play of how much money you're taking out at the bank. They don't know what a bank is. They don't know what they are. You need help. What are you nuts?

[A]

So true.

[B]

Nuts.

[A]

I, the other day I was driving around in this massive, I kid you not, possibly arena sized public storage got put up near my house and all I have to say is, what are you nuts? We have too much. There is so many public storages everywhere and these are not commercial size. They go, oh, we have 50 square foot lockers up to a thousand square feet. You need an apartment sized public storage to hold all your. Have you ever seen Storage Wars?

[B]

I have.

[A]

It's crap. These people, they leave it, they don't even pick it up and they make TV shows about them not picking it up. And then I got to go bid to try to win something good and I really want to win something good. God, would I like to get a nice find in there. You know, you think it's a bunch of crap. All of a sudden you're like, it's a fucking Mickey Mantle rookie card.

[B]

But it's always, it's always a Mickey Mantle rookie card, by the way.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's just like what Are you nuts? It's. People have two much crap.

[B]

People have too much crap. I would also love to know, and I don't know this for sure, with the increase in rent prices and home prices, how much storage lockers, like, how much their popularity has exploded, I have to assume that the more expensive a house becomes, the more things you're going to cheaply put into storage. That said, you don't need anything that is not. Is not in front of you, right? Anything that's in storage you're paying for monthly you have forgotten about. It's not. It's. It's there. We have a. We have a spritz storage locker that has, like, beverages in it that we'll use for events and stuff. But, like, I've thrown random shit in there. Like these koozies that I made in 2021. I should have thrown them out. They've just been sitting in there since 2021. A storage locker is an excuse to hoard shit, Right? So I'm fucking with you. What are you nuts? You're also fucking nuts. I didn't even curse the whole. Oh, okay. I got a good idea. Okay.

[A]

Something fun. Spritz pool party. And you just wrap something and you call it a Jacuzzi. And you wrap the Jacuzzi like a above ground Jacuzzi in a spritz koozie.

[B]

Oh, my God, I love it. Jacuzzi. And we get Ja Rule to do it. Oh, my God. Wow. Ja Rule's jacuzzi. Ooh.

[A]

We're out here at the fyre Festival at sp. I can't, you know, without you. Cause I'm real the way you are. The way you thought.

Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

[B]

Are you looking for a beach read this summer? May I suggest your big wireless build? It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat emotional arc, and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better. Every plan, $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending, zero tears. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.
