B (2:21)

So it's interesting. Of course giving free food to people is wonderful. Right? The idea of giving free anything to everyone is wonderful. I think that people's. I think that people's justified reaction to it is that Places have tried and failed at doing that. And ultimately whenever something is free or given out and when something is government run in America, I'm not talking about there are other places that have been able to do things successfully in the current way that the United States is set up. Every single government organization that is consumer facing is worse than a privatized version. It's just a fact. Like when you go to the dmv, if the DMV was run by a private for profit corporation, it would just be better customer service. It would just be easier to get things. And that's no shade on the government. Like the government is a huge, it's, it's, it's, it's huge. Right? And they have so many priorities. And I just, I think that the comment to it would be it's really great that you used free groceries and I jokingly used free food to get your vote. Right? But in reality you can't give me free groceries without the quality of my groceries, the availability of my groceries and potentially the ingredients in my groceries becoming completely compromised. I can't trust like I'm going to go to a government owned grocery store or government run grocery store and where are my brands going to be? Where am I like the products that I know and love going to be? Where like is it going to be available? Are people going to be working? What are the hours look like? Like, I'm not saying that it can't be done. I'm just saying that like those are the, those are the main questions. And then who's paying for it? Is the other question. Sure, they're free for some, they're not free for all. I would a thousand percent if, if there was a successful way to give people who can't afford groceries free groceries, of course I would do that. But like, for, for me that would come in the form of like a charity. Like I'd rather donate to a charity that gives groceries from a privatized grocery store to people who can't afford groceries first. That answers your question.

A (4:32)

I want to know if it's going to have all the fun things of a supermarket. Like am I going to have like a little rewards card? Are they going to ask for my phone number and what will the reward be?

B (4:40)

Definitely not. Like, no.

A (4:44)

Oh, we just put in your phone number and it's more free.

B (4:48)

No, you put in your phone number and literally you get a tax audit or you get like a lien on your house. Like, oh, groceries are free but you're being audited or groceries are Free. But now you have 10 unpaid parking tickets. Like, I don't need the government knowing more about me and my eating habits. I just. Yeah, whatever.

A (5:06)

That makes so much sense. And I agree with you. And my single issue is I'll never vote for anybody in a beret, Eric.

B (5:14)

All right, give me Curtis.

A (5:16)

What's his name? Sleep on. I don't even know.

B (5:18)

I know, I know. It's such, like. It's such a shame because if people looked up Curtis Sliwa. This is. There's nobody more New York than Curtis. The guy lives in the subway. Josh. He started a group called the Arc Angels.

A (5:35)

The Guardian Angels.

B (5:36)

Yeah. Where they literally protect people on the subway. This is Mr. New York. He wears a red beret. A campaign? Yeah. What are you nuts?

A (5:43)

Fucking lit.

B (5:45)

What are you nuts?

A (5:46)

You think he wears that beret during, like a romantic interlude? Like, let me get my beret.

B (5:51)

He's stripping in the beret. No question. No question. By the way, if he wins or starting a beret business if he wins.

A (5:58)

I'm telling you, Trojan is going to miss out. If they don't see a brand integration. Be like, make sure to grab your beret and your Trojan blue Chill. The blue beret.

B (6:14)

Oh, my God.

A (6:14)

Oh, I love that. Yeah. Well, listen, mayoral races are weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. And the whole thing is just like. I don't know. The problem is, is like, who. Who would want to go work in the government ever?

B (6:29)

No one. I don't want to. The only reason I brought up doing it was because I genuinely feel that. I guess, by the way, there are so many qualified people to run for office. Obviously, the reason we have this terrible mixed bag of people is because they're the only people willing to put up with this crap.

A (6:46)

Sure.

B (6:46)

It must be such a horrible existence. It must be horrible for there not to be better candidates.

A (6:53)

The is to be a mayor in a town of 10,000 people or less. Because you are. You're going to your local Walmart. Walmart. And you are getting priority. That's what I want.

B (7:06)

Yeah. You're getting a nice table. You have the corner booth every night at the number one Italian restaurant. Yeah.

C (7:12)

They know you by name.

B (7:14)

It's like cheers everywhere.

A (7:16)

You can open, carry.

B (7:18)

Yeah. And like your main job. It's funny, that's like the number one criticism against Adams, that all he does is ribbon cut like hell. Yes. But in New York, you can't just ribbon cut. Oh, you can't.

A (7:32)

Have you seen how many storefronts there.

B (7:34)

Are in New York? You have to snip, snip, snip, my boy. You have to put in policy. Otherwise you just. Yeah, he just. Ribbon cuts all day long. You think that considering the way that my hands are so arthritic, I would get. I would get ribbon cutting hands? I think my, like, after using the scissors so much, I wonder which finger would go first, but I feel like this finger, this finger would go first. After a year of ribbon cutting, is it still a ring finger? It's if it's on the right hand, I think so. Okay.

A (8:06)

It's a similar digit.

B (8:08)

I mean, it's the same.

A (8:10)

No, don't I know it. Yeah, I don't know. I. I'm down for a ribbon cutting. I just don't. I don't like.

B (8:16)

I don't. I don't like.

A (8:17)

I don't like anything. No.

B (8:19)

Okay, okay.

A (8:21)

I just don't like shit. I don't like whenever people are just like, oh, there's going to be like a small soiree after. Oh, there's going to be, you know, small bites. How about. How about a big bite and leave me alone?

B (8:34)

How about big bites? I agree. So don't try and entice me with small bites. For what?

A (8:39)

Oh, there's going to be small bites and I'm going to be at the kitchen door, right. Pull off the tray as it walks through.

B (8:46)

That's actually the number one. What do you notice is small bites as it is like a. You should come to my party because there's small bites. I've mentioned this before, but my friend Victor is that guy standing at the kitchen waiting for the hors d'. Oeuvres. Literally every wedding he's there. Eventually they have to change their route because they can't go. They no longer want to pass him because all the crab cakes are gone. They see him and they run away.

A (9:15)

Victor's hit the door. What do we have?

B (9:19)

He's. He's like, oh, you gotta try the spring rolls. I'm like, there are spring rolls here? What do you mean?

A (9:25)

Oh, totally. Oh, I'll have a couple extra. No napkin. That's so funny. You're so right. When like, you start getting the scuttlebutt of the party and be like, did you see the little beef Wellingtons? Like, how did you know that's happening? You're like, it's over in quadrant four.

B (9:43)

Yeah. There's always that guy that took all the inventory and knows exactly what's out there.

A (9:49)

Oh, this is fun for the son of a caterer. Top five hors d' oeuvres at a party. Go. What is a must? I'll start. Pig in a blanket.

B (9:59)

Avi. Yeah, yeah. Pig. Pig in a blanket is really, really a wonderful, wonderful hors d'. Oeuvre. My only issue with it is if it's too crusty of an exterior, if it's well cooked, it's beautiful. Probably number one. I love a spring roll. I really do. A spring roll with, like, a nice little Thai chili sauce. That's fantastic.

A (10:22)

I think a tuna tartare in a fun cone can be really nice.

B (10:28)

Agreed. Fantastic. I love it. I'm in. Sometimes they do mini little sliders. I love a little slider fun. That's fantastic. And sometimes they'll even make that a little chicken sandwich. I love that.

A (10:39)

They've been. Recently, I've noticed they'll do mini fried chicken on waffles with, like, a little maple glaze. I'm like, this is too much. This is too much for standing.

B (10:48)

It's a lot. It's a lot for standing. I love you get a chicken finger with a little creme fraiche with a dollop of fabulous. Oh, how easy is that?

A (10:58)

Fabulous.

B (11:00)

So good. What else? What are other good.

A (11:05)

How about this?

B (11:05)

Past hors d'. Oeuvres.

A (11:06)

I guess you don't want to be standing now. What about a dessert appetizer hour or a dessert past tray hour? So basically, you're done with dinner, like, when? That would be fun, right? You're on the dance floor, you're schmoozing, you're going around, all of a sudden. A mini tiramisu. Thank you.

B (11:23)

It's actually, I think that it's a wonderful idea because too often are so many desserts put out a random corner that nobody sees. They're too busy dancing. The amount of waste that goes into dessert when somebody could have just been walking around with a cake pop. You ever have a cake pop? This is a fantastic invention. The cake.

A (11:43)

Totally.

B (11:44)

I love it.

A (11:44)

How about this? Level up. You've met my nephew, Jonah. The great Jonah. Shout out, listener.

B (11:49)

Shout out.

A (11:50)

Hashem. Love him. Bbyo Rosen. And. And he is so lit that at his bar mitzvah because he loves breakfast food, it was all breakfast bars. So there was a waffle station, pancake station, omelette station, pasta bar. It was the best.

B (12:08)

That's the best. That is the best. So delicious.

A (12:13)

Sick.

B (12:14)

I need to go to a bar mitzvah. It's been too long.

A (12:17)

Well, that's the thing, though. Like, you know how you go through seasons in your life like, you're probably at the tail end of wedding season, right?

B (12:24)

Yes. Yes.

A (12:24)

Right.

B (12:25)

Yes. We're at the very tail end. Yeah.

A (12:28)

And now it's going to be baby season, and in 10 years, am I going to get an Aaliyah at Ruby's apartment?

B (12:34)

Yeah.

A (12:34)

No, I don't mean to put you on the spot.

B (12:37)

No, no, you're gonna get an Aaliyah. Yes.

A (12:40)

Okay, good to know.

B (12:41)

Yes, you're gonna get an Aaliyah.

A (12:42)

That's reason enough for me to try to get this podcast more successful.

B (12:46)

Done. Aaliyah. Aaliyah. It's yours.

A (12:49)

Should I practice right now?

B (12:51)

Please.

A (12:52)

I'm gonna shout this one out to Mayor Mumdani.

B (13:16)

Amen. Incredibly impressed. Well done.

A (13:19)

Well done.

B (13:20)

Baruch hashem. Well done.

A (13:23)

Right.

B (13:23)

That is for our non Jewish listeners. You get called to the Torah, they're reading. They point, you kiss it, you sing. And I just want you to know there are so many people that trip over those words. And the fact that Josh has it by heart means that it was a part of a role. It was my first. You're not fooling me.

A (13:46)

It was my first role, my bar mitzvah. I'm in it to win it. This is why I'm a great lover. I want the Oscar in everything I do.

B (13:53)

I'm giving.

A (13:54)

I'm a giving partner. And I know you've been wondering.

B (13:56)

You're giving. You're giving, Josh, you're giving, and it's giving and it's been given.

A (14:03)

This is my sick up brain. Because at my boy Luca, his son Austin, they were nice enough to have me doing Aaliyah at the bar mitzvah. And so I was like, on my mark. Gotta get it right. I was, like, timing myself in the car. Paige is looking at me like, are you. Is everything okay at home?

B (14:19)

I'm like, that's called being just like a wonderful guest. Okay? Like, I've seen so many people get the honor and then go up there and trip over the words. It's like, it's in English, you idiot. It's literally transliterated, okay? You can't read English. You can't read English.

A (14:37)

I don't mean to, like, call people out, but there was a grandparent who got up and she. They're like, putting on the glasses and they're like, who writes this stuff?

B (14:51)

Yeah.

A (14:53)

I'm like, honey, please. This is an ancient language. This is a great honor. Can we get on our mark?

B (14:59)

Practice for one minute. Practice for one minute. Care they cared enough to give you the honor. Care enough to deliver unsaid honor.

A (15:07)

Okay, I love that.

B (15:08)

Fair enough.

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Branch Basics. Folks, I've been using Branch Basics for years because, you know, one day I came home, we were completely switched, okay? Our old soap, out the window, our new soap, and our new cleaning products in the home. Branch Basics. Thanks to my wife, and we absolutely love them. Because I had no idea, I had absolutely no idea what was actually being sprayed in my home. And here's the truth. Most people don't know. In the U.S. cleaning product companies aren't federally required to list all their ingredients. What are you nuts? Not on the bottle. Not on the website. That means you could be unknowingly exposing yourself and your family to harmful chemicals every single day. I'm not trying to scare you, but I'm just saying we live in a time of knowledge. And now that we know that there's chemicals in some of our cleaning products, we might as well switch to a brand that's looking to change that, right? And research shows that chemicals in conventional cleaning products can contribute to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and even hormone disruption. Chemicals found in many popular brands can cause long term health problems, especially for children, pregnant women, and those with sensitivities. We're just trying to clean our house. What are you nuts? That's where Branch Basics comes in. Founded by women on their own personal health journeys, Branch Basics was created out of a desire to heal, not to sell cleaning products. Through years of research, trial, and error, the founders discovered the powerful impact that removing toxins from their environment had on their health. And now they're on a mission to help others do the same. Transparency is key at Branch Basics. Unlike most cleaning brands, they proudly list every single ingredient on the product packaging and on their website, so you always know exactly what you're bringing into your home. Branch Basics is Made Safe certified and Leaping Bunny certified, meaning every ingredient is proven to be human safe. So, folks, are you ready to clean up your home and your health?

A (20:40)

Knockwood. Shy is he's sleeping through the night. We're getting there. We're getting better. We are loving him and honoring him through this big transition in his big little life.

B (20:49)

Good.

A (20:50)

He's doing better one day at a time. He's still a spicy little stinker, but I love him. And Myers could. He's just. He's cute. How's Reuben?

B (21:00)

Beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah. It's funny that you just called them Reuben because Claudia said the other day, she's like, you know, I want to call him Ruben. I'm like, great. Call him Ruby. I call him Booby. Booby with a B. Ruby. Booby. He's just Booby. And I think that's a great Nick Canadian. Imagine that. The only other booby I know is Booby Miles. I don't remember what movie that's from, but it's from a movie and him being booby sick.

A (21:24)

But does it risk that? His friends think booby is the word. Booby is funny.

B (21:30)

It's possible. He's got. He's. He. He's got to be really cool. It's one of those nicknames that if you're not cool, it's cool, but if you're cool, it's really cool, you know? Yeah. Yeah, he's great. Everything fantastic.

A (21:46)

I'm trying to think of Booby. Like how, like, could there be like a Booby Kennedy or like a Booby Paltrow, you know?

B (21:54)

Yeah, Booby. Booby Kennedy. Sounds Good.

A (21:56)

Yeah. Booby Epstein.

B (21:58)

Yeah.

A (22:02)

You know.

B (22:03)

Yeah, I do. I do.

A (22:05)

Have you seen this in. In the news that Guess used an AI model for their new campaign?

B (22:12)

No, but I hate that.

A (22:13)

Well, look it up. I'll send you the. The picture.

B (22:16)

Send me it.

A (22:17)

And Josh G, feel free to look it up, too, because I. I want to think. Because I have some guesses on who they use this in, like, what they use to train the model. And I want to.

B (22:26)

Yes, AI model.

A (22:28)

I want to know who you think. I. I think I have it down, actually. Exactly.

B (22:31)

Who, by the way, as a prompt, everybody knows. And she should sue them. This is Kate Upton.

A (22:37)

It's Kate Upton. And maybe a little Margot Robbie.

B (22:41)

This is Kate Upton. That's not right.

A (22:43)

It's totally Kate Upton.

B (22:45)

Yeah, it's a thousand percent Kate Upton.

A (22:48)

Okay, cool.

B (22:49)

That's good.

A (22:50)

Segment.

B (22:52)

No, but the segment. I mean, like, we. We should talk about this. Are people not protected? You can give it. If you can give a person as a prompt, Josh, they should get paid.

A (23:02)

I think so.

B (23:03)

Maybe less. Right. Because you're not actually using them. But imagine Nickelodeon launched a new show completely in AI and they said, we want somebody that looks like Josh.

A (23:13)

Yeah. So then what are they going to do? Get a young, young Leno? Like, what's it called?

B (23:22)

It's funny.

A (23:23)

Yeah. I don't know. I think it's. It's. It's wild. But I did see. I saw Kate Upton, and maybe just like. And maybe they said just like a hint of Margot Robbie.

B (23:33)

Yeah, I. I would agree with that. I would agree with that. But there's something about the eyes. I looked into it. I'm like, that's Kate Upton. Yeah, that is Kate Upton. Looked right in those eyes.

A (23:43)

God, stop. Well, did you know that there was a man caught having three marriages at the same time? And he learned his fate during sentencing? A Florida man who illegally juggled secret marriages to three unsuspecting women he met on dating apps managed to escape jail time after his deception was unearthed. Henry Betsy Jr. 50, was sentenced to two years probation on Thursday after he pleaded no contest to felony bigamy. Man, it should be felony big poppy. You know what I'm saying? Shut up. We do it, y', all, for out here hating on the player. Man, look at this dude. He's handsome.

B (24:24)

Let me see.

A (24:25)

He's Josh G. This dude with these light eyes. He is gorgeous. No wonder he has three wives. His prison fatigues are really making his eyes pop.

B (24:42)

I need his lighting guy for my studio. Man, the only problem that I have with that story is that none of the women knew.

A (24:53)

Come on.

B (24:55)

I can't hear these stories and hear your husband was married to three women and you had no clue. No clue how.

A (25:04)

Right?

B (25:05)

How, Josh, how? How?

A (25:08)

Some people want to be deceived. They want to live in a world.

B (25:11)

Of deceit, I guess, but it's like, I don't even understand, like, do you not ask him where he's going? I guess you just trust him implicitly. You're like, how can you have a job and three wives? Maybe he didn't have a job.

A (25:28)

Maybe he had a job. Maybe he was a professional partner, in which case he's providing a service.

B (25:34)

Yeah, but then he's even worse because he's gone a third of every week.

A (25:39)

Well, these women are probably. They're probably mavericks in their industry. They're busy, but when they come home, they need a foot rub and green eyed honey.

B (25:47)

Interesting. I wonder if they would notice if they were titans of history, Right. If he was just at the other's house when she was traveling.

D (26:00)

It's also wild. Like, what the passes that green eyes will get you. You guys familiar with Prison Bay?

A (26:04)

Of course. Yeah.

D (26:05)

I just went to a movie premiere that Prison Bay was there and we're looking at the discography. He's in like 10 movies. He's fucking with like the Princess of Monaco's daughter or. No, at the actual Princess of Monaco or something like that. I'm like, this is literally a guy who like went to jail, got out and in his green eyed mugshot went viral and he's like, boom, straight to the top.

A (26:24)

Yeah, man.

B (26:26)

Light eyes. Me, I have light eyes. Do you Green? I do. They're green. You ever notice?

A (26:32)

Of course I do notice.

B (26:34)

You never look at me.

A (26:35)

Can't stop staring. Can't get enough.

B (26:37)

Never look at my eyes. She always just looking at my chest.

A (26:41)

I had the best day yesterday and now my wife will know that and it's really going to stick in her craw that I enjoyed myself. Love you, babe. But I. My good friend Ben Greenfield, who's going to come on the pod, he's a brilliant health and wellness longevity expert. And, and he has a podcast, a new book called Boundless 2, where it's all about biohacking and human optimization. And so there's this place in, in, in LA that's like. It's called Live Love. I don't know. They got to come up with a better name, this thing. It's not. I can't even remember it. It's Very confusing. I posted about it as a shout out love life. Okay, Shout out love life. All right. So anyway, my boy Ben did it. Did this thing at Love Life where he was going to do a book release and then have me do like a Q A, A VIP Q A. We're gonna yenta for 45 minutes. But this place had cryo chambers, saunas, dry sauna, infrared sauna, five different ice baths in, in different degrees, going all the way from 55 degrees all the way down to 33. It'll freeze you to shop.

B (27:47)

That's cold.

A (27:48)

And all the great workout modalities, Ben, you would have plots. So I get there. I'm like, I'd love to do the Q and A for you. He's been so helpful to me. Introduce me to the great Craig Conover. Not the pillow guy. Dr. Craig Conover. And. And he goes, listen, man, we're actually doing a Q and A later for the public. He's like, which? It's already sold out. He said this VIP thing. He's like, I didn't really promote it much. He's like, so I think it's just kind of like me, you and like another buddy or two that are here, like you want to just bag the talk and we'll just go do infrared sauna and cold plunge. I was like, is it my birthday? I was like, Joshi. Like Jesse, like, this is the stuff Josh likes because he's sober and he has no other outlet. And sometimes it gets dark, dark, dark in here.

B (28:37)

And it's also just literally the best. It's so good. It's the best. I heard Gary Breca. It was like some video that came up. I don't know how I feel about that guy.

A (28:46)

Oh, Gary.

B (28:48)

Yeah, exactly. I actually saw a video, I think like he had like his friends were over or something and he was showing how their two 9 year old girls cold plunge. I'm like, gary, can we stop? OK, can we stop? We don't need 9 year old cold plunging. But he said that it didn't matter from 33 degrees to 55 degrees. But I think you just said you get the same benefits in 33 as you do 50. Which I thought was interesting. I wonder if it's true. I don't know, but he said that it was true. Also, side note, I, for the first time I've only I do cold plunges in like those tubs. Like what we've done at Live Method where your legs can extend. Have you ever done one that's like a really small box oh, sure.

C (29:33)

Oh, my God.

B (29:34)

I did that for the first time over the weekend. So much harder. Like. Like 10 times harder. When you can't relax and extend your legs. You're like sitting in this, like, I don't know. You. You can't. You can't chill. It's much harder to, like, get your breath down. I didn't like it at all.

A (29:52)

I did a 35 degree tub for four minutes and when I got out, I got in my car. This has never happened. I turned off the air. This is how you know something's up.

B (30:05)

Oh, so you left cold.

A (30:08)

You have to. You can't rewar. Like, I think you should leave.

B (30:10)

Is that true? You leave cold?

A (30:13)

Almost always a. Because I don't want to sweat through my clothes. Like, sure. I think you have to really bring down when you've been so hot. And then, yeah, you get. Because your body right now is going to spend the next hour or so warming itself up. So it's going to keep burning calories, keep the metabolism going.

B (30:31)

Smart. Yeah, leaving cold is probably the most. Sometimes I. I don't know what I normally do. I think sometimes I leave warm just because I want to get all toasty. But, yeah, leaving cold is probably the right. Right medical move.

A (30:42)

I get in my wife's car, even now, 85 degrees in LA, she'll have the air conditioning off. I'm like, paige, what's wrong? What's happening?

B (30:50)

I don't know. I don't.

A (30:51)

Crazy. But I turned the air conditioning off. This is. I've never seen it, where the screen goes dark.

B (30:56)

Yeah, no, that's crazy.

A (30:58)

I know.

B (30:59)

That's good. No good at all.

A (31:02)

You know how I know I'm getting old?

B (31:04)

Help me.

A (31:05)

The other day, in my head, I thought, I'm gonna treat myself with an Advil.

B (31:10)

Okay, that's good. How many do you take? How many Advils do you take?

A (31:14)

You have to take them, not medical advice. You have to take a minimum of three, of course, to be efficacious.

B (31:21)

I couldn't agree more. There are too many people in my life that take two. I'm like, are you okay? Why? What are you afraid of? The third's not what's doing it to you. Also, if you have really bad pain. Josh, two Advil.

A (31:34)

Sure, sure.

B (31:34)

This is a wonderful concoction. And if you're feeling really, really bad. Two Advil, one Tylenol and some. Yeah, that's really the killer comm. Okay. And if you're feeling really, really, really bad.

A (31:50)

Oh, yeah.

B (31:51)

When I go to go to Olive Garden.

A (31:53)

When I get sick, this is what.

B (31:54)

I like to do.

A (31:55)

I like to do. I. I start making myself up my sick cocktail, right? Some people, they go out and they get elderberry juice, vitamin C. We'll get one of those. Those. Yeah. Because that stuff doesn't work, okay?

B (32:07)

We, Josh, we are people of Eastern medicine. We are. We are the people of the East. You know how the Muslims have hajj? You know the Muslims have hajj. I have hajj of the East. I'm gonna lead, like, a million Eastern medical people. We're going. We're doing a walk to Norway.

A (32:25)

You're giving me hajjida.

B (32:27)

All right. Are you. I can't with this. Oh, my God. I can't wait. My. My hajj to Norway.

A (32:37)

When I get sick, my sick cocktail is. I'll do two dayquil, then I'll do a Mucinex D, right? So I'll do like a nice 1200 all day, the Mucinex Sudafed mix. So now I'm getting Mucinex Sudafed. I'm getting acetaminophene. I'm getting textrometrophan. I'm getting phenylepherine or whatever that is. I'm getting. I, I. And I literally, I take it and I go, get ready, body. Get ready.

B (33:04)

Yeah. Get ready to feel nothing. I've told you what happens to me when I take me to next D, Right?

A (33:10)

You get an erection, I get the D. Yeah. Every time.

B (33:15)

I only took it once. Never again.

A (33:17)

Oh, my God. Take it for fun. Look out.

B (33:19)

Never again. I was hard for four hours in the middle of the night. Look, look, I just. Just woke up. I'm like, are you okay? Look at your wife for the evening.

A (33:30)

And get to making Ruby a sibling. Come on.

B (33:33)

And I wasn't. Okay, Mucinex D. Whatever's in there, it's no good.

A (33:39)

Can you imagine?

B (33:39)

I don't like any of that junk that you just mentioned. I don't like. Because then what happens when you. When it wears off? I guess you just take more of it until eventually you're not sick? Is that the idea?

A (33:48)

Oh, yeah. Mask the symptoms.

B (33:51)

Mask. No, I prefer. At the Ben Safra Longevity Institute of Eastern Medicine, we prefer to treat the systems, the symptoms, Josh. We treat. So we would go in with a little echinacea, some elderberry. We're going in with oil of oregano, some activated turmeric. Like, you're gonna feel as good as new in no time.

A (34:08)

Put that on top of it do both.

B (34:11)

Okay, I'm in. You're so right. Why wouldn't I feel good today and treat the symptoms right? I know.

C (34:19)

Function doesn't push supplements or pharmaceuticals like others. It's just powerful, unbiased health data designed to help you own your own health. And folks, we want to own our own health, folks. I went. If I say folks again, by the way, every single time I say folks in this ad read, okay, do a shot and then go to function and get tested. I went in there, I wanted to know what I was deficient in, okay? The Ben Soffer Longevity Institute of Technology. It's very, very important for us to understand what we're deficient in so we can supplement. I love supplements. Every morning I'm taking turmeric.

B (36:13)

Every morning I'm taking oil of oregano, unless I overdose.

C (36:16)

Every morning I'm taking. What else am I taking? Vitamin D, vitamin C, all these things.

B (36:20)

All these things, okay?

C (36:21)

I registered for function. I found a lab near me. I went in, I weighted my results, and let me tell you, folks, I'm deficient in vitamin D. Function Health told.

B (36:29)

Me they Definitively told me, ben, you need to supplement vitamin D because there's not enough D. There's not enough D. Okay? There's never enough D. Pause.

C (36:40)

There's never enough D. And now I supplement with vitamin D, thanks to function. And it's important to know what you're deficient in because then you can start supplementing. If you don't know what you're deficient in, then all of a sudden you just start taking things like turmeric and.

B (36:52)

Oil of oregano, and all of a.

C (36:54)

Sudden you're itchy from all of the T in the oil of oregano. You know, maybe you didn't need it. You need to know what you're deficient in so that you're not, I don't know, throwing darts at a board. We supplement based on what we're deficient in. We don't supplement unknowingly.

B (37:07)

Okay? That's also.

C (37:08)

The Ben Safer Longevity Institute of Technology is the number one tip of the day. You get tested, you then supplement based on what's being tested. And function is a proud sponsor of the Ben Safer Longevity Institute of Technology, as well as the Good Guys podcast. Folks, this is absolutely the easiest way to go about all of this. And you want to learn what you're deficient in. Mine is D. I don't know, maybe you're celiac. There's literally millions, not millions. There's actually precisely 160 biomarkers that you can test. But those biomarkers are going to tell you something that you didn't know about your body. Maybe you have brain fog. Maybe you're sluggish, maybe you are tired all the time and you don't know why. It's probably because you're deficient in something. That would be my guess. Again, I'm no doctor, but Dr. Jeremy London, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and Dr. Mark Hyman are doctors, and they all back function. Learn what you're deficient in, go into a lab, sign up for function, and then take control of your life. I'm telling you, folks, you will not regret it. Let's talk about the signup process.

A (39:22)

Here, listen to this, right? This is an interesting one. You've heard of red yeast rice?

B (39:27)

No? Red yeast rice for us in the.

A (39:31)

Hyper color esthemia community. That's not how you pronounce it. For those of us with high cholesterol. I heard this doctor on TikTok talk about it, a real one, medical doctor, and he said, look, red yeast rice is effective in treating cholesterol because they found much like how you love that reference of in the willow tree is aspirin. So chew on bark when you have a headache.

B (39:56)

I love it.

A (39:57)

He's like, yes. He's like, in red yeast rice there is a statin, there's cholesterol medicine that we've refined. Yes. He's like, there's totally an active ingredient. He's like, here's the problem. You don't know where it's sourced. You don't know the level of how good the supplement is. He's like, even when something comes from a really trusted source, still, he's like, it's never going to be held up to medical standards because the only standard for supplements that aren't FDA approved is that it doesn't kill you. You. But the efficacy, how much is in it. All these things can be really kind of wobbly. He's like, so you might be getting some. You're probably not getting enough or you might be getting way too much. He's like, you just don't know. He's like, now the active ingredient in red yeast rice which lowers your cholesterol we have, is a cholesterol medicine he's like, which if you have insurance, you can probably get for a 90 day supply for about $3. He said a 90 day supply of red yeast rice will probably cost you 60 bucks. He's like, so he's like, that's my issue, right? He's like, I know that I can prescribe it to you in its purest form, dosed perfectly for what your body needs, or you can tell yourself you're going the natural route and you don't know what you're quite getting and it's 50 times the price.

B (41:21)

But you know, for something so important as a cholesterol lowering medication, right? Something that you must take. I am all in on the purest form. $3, 90 days supply, ditching the red yeast rice. Okay. For something that is a little bit more elective, which I, at one point, I. I took Advil every day for fun. Like, Like I needed it. Like, I think just like when you're really fat, you always have a headache. At least I always had a headache. Every single day of my life, I would wake up with a headache, right? And I would just pop Advil. Pop Advil. Pop Advil. And I'm now at the point in my life where if I can find a way to be less dependent on something that comes in a pill, I'm gonna try it. And I don't know why the. Or I do know why taking an oil of oregano, even though people laugh at me, feels like I think it's great. Like, feels like. No, no, I. And I get why people laugh, but feels like a. If I can somehow treat a sinus infection with an antifungal, like oil of oregano, as opposed to Sudafed, which I just know is too much, it burns the fuck out of my sinuses. Like, they're on fire to the point that no mucus is there, which is effective when you, like, can't breathe out of your nose. But I don't know, there's just like. And maybe it's placebo. Maybe it's like you brought up something interesting which I haven't really thought of. Like, I just trust supplements. I trust them because they're natural. It doesn't mean that they're the proper dose or the proper dose for me or that my body doesn't have too much of it. Like, remember, I took too much turmeric and I became itchy. This is a, this is a thing. You can become itchy when you have too much turmeric.

A (43:20)

Should do class action against the spice.

B (43:23)

I should. And Too many people. I mentioned me on a commercial. Did turmeric make you itchy?

A (43:32)

Did you?

B (43:32)

Join me. Join me and a thousand others as we sue McCormick.

A (43:39)

Title. We're suing McCormick.

B (43:42)

McCormick. But there's so little information. I took, right? I took turmeric for what, a year? And then somebody told me, hey, you know, turmeric doesn't work unless there's whatever, black seed oil with it or something. Pepper. Thank you. And so now I take a pepper turmeric combo. But who. Why would you ever buy turmeric by itself? Why do they even sell it?

A (44:02)

Because you're making a delicious dish.

B (44:05)

Yeah, in that form for sure.

A (44:07)

Because. Because you want to stain your countertops forever. Jesus. It really doesn't come out of anything.

B (44:12)

No. I wonder what my insides look like. They might just be orange.

A (44:16)

That'd be cute. Should we get to a quick speak pipe?

B (44:19)

Yeah.

A (44:20)

If you want to leave us a message, get some advice, go to speakpipe.com goodguys Here's a little something from Rebecca.

E (44:29)

Hey, good guys, Rebecca here. I just left a beautiful Jewish wedding. I am not Jewish. And I found myself making small talk with the rabbi. And I am eight months pregnant. He congratulated me because I am quite visibly pregnant. And I just, as I was chatting, said, thank you, like Brooke Hashem. And that's when I realized you guys were talking a few weeks about code switching. And I just code switched into the good guys talk, which I guess is just Jewish. But I want to know, was that offensive? Was that that bad that I said that as someone who is not Jewish, it's.

B (45:05)

It's so the opposite. It's so endearing and amazing. And I can speak for all Jews. Like, the. Even, like, attempting to be a part of it is amazing. I love it. I love it. And like, I've mentioned this in the past, when people come up to me on the street and say baruch hashem.

C (45:23)

And then make sure to tell me.

B (45:24)

That they're not Jewish. Like, if that's our legacy, that we got non Jews to say bless God in Hebrew or thank God in Hebrew, we've won. I feel amazing about that. So baruch hashem to you, Rebecca. Or should I say Rivka?

A (45:41)

Yeah. She even spelled her name, like, with a K, a H. I'm like, are you sure you're not Jewish?

B (45:46)

She is for sure. She just doesn't know it.

A (45:48)

You win. Next one is. Next one's from Anonymous.

F (45:54)

What's up, good guys? Just had a crazy interaction on the subway. Need your thoughts. So I'm with my son. He's about 2. He has a huge flirt. He's really cute, gets a lot of attention in public. We're standing next to this gorgeous girl on the subway who I actually recognize as an influencer. So we're having a nice interaction with her, and then she proceeds to pull her phone out and record the interaction action. So I very calmly was like, hey, you know, not okay with this. First of all, I'm not okay with anybody recording my son, much less someone who has around 80,000 followers on TikTok. So I asked her to stop. She did not stop. So I got in between her and my son to block the view, and she proceeds to record me now, calling me a Karen and saying, oh, my followers will have my back. And. Yeah, and so, I don't know. I need your thoughts. Like. Like, have these influencers gone too far of just recording whatever they want just because they have, you know, almost 100,000 followers and they have just this sense of entitlement? I wanted to kill her. I. I told her, go ahead, post me and see what all the mamas on the Internet say about it. What are your thoughts?

A (47:14)

Wow, 80,000 followers. I thought you said she was an influencer.

B (47:19)

I was gonna say no, by the way. It was actually gonna be the first thing that I said. The problem is that like. Like, anybody can go viral on TikTok and get 80, 000 followers. Not me, but anybody. But anybody can go viral and get followers. And, like, this term influencer. I hate the term, but it used to come with some cachet, and I think you're giving this person too much credit. Like, it's great that you recognize them, but they're just like a regular person that. I don't know. I think you're giving that person too much credit, and that person's clearly a scumbag. You don't film children ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Also, I think it's kind of weird that you called your son a flirt, but, like, we can move past that.

A (48:03)

I can't stand when people do that.

B (48:05)

That was weird. Like, your kid's just, like, friendly and outgoing. Like, he's not flirting.

A (48:09)

I don't even like when people say, oh, his little girlfriend or his boyfriend or their boyfriend. I hate that.

B (48:14)

Yeah, no, it's weird. Like, what are you. What are you doing? Their baby. So in this, like. Yeah, just. Just because your kid is, like, a performer doesn't mean that she has the right to film him and just all around strain. No Good. What do you think?

A (48:30)

I totally agree. Unfortunately, I've watched enough Tick Tock to know that when you're in public, there can't be an expectation of privacy. So technically, by law, people are allowed to film you. But by what's good, by street justice. Out of here.

B (48:46)

Yeah, yeah. And I can't imagine like that influencer or whatever that loser girl was, her pretending that if she posted that video of her filming a two year old and the mother saying, stop filming my child, that her followers would have her back. What delusion? What delusional planet are you on, okay? No one will have your back. There's nobody more vicious than mothers coming for a mother on TikTok. Okay, you're done. You're kaput. You should post it. You'll get canceled. That's an actually cancelable offense. Yeah, somebody film filming a two year old without their parents permission is a cancelable offense.

A (49:24)

Should we get one of the few. What are you, nuts?

B (49:26)

What are you nuts? We should.

A (49:28)

Our what are you nuts? Moment of the week are gripes with people, places and things both big and small. Whatever's sticking in your craw, Ben, what do you got that I don't?

B (49:36)

What do you got?

A (49:37)

Oh, I'll start.

B (49:38)

I will. Yeah, yeah.

A (49:39)

So as I mentioned, my sweet boy Meyer, for the first couple days in the hospital, he was having trouble eating. They said his suck wasn't strong enough. So now, weeks later, he's been going to the pediatrician, knock wood, everything's fine. But, you know, a week after we got out of the hospital, I said to the pediatrician, do you think his suck is okay? I know, like he was having some issues with it. And he goes, oh, let me see. He bare hand fingered my son's mouth and put it on his suck reflex. I guess it's somewhere in their gum. And then he just, you know, proceeded to have a perfect, you know, a perfect suck. And he goes, no, it's strong, it's great. And I'm like, what are you nuts? What are we not gonna glove up for this? Like, bare finger in the mouth.

B (50:22)

It's like, that is the biggest one of you nuts I've ever heard.

A (50:25)

It's like, are we not gloving up my dude? Like, at least buy him some. Buy him a. Buy him a glass of milk first.

B (50:32)

Did he at least visibly wash his hands in front of you or this is just a bare hand?

A (50:38)

It was a bare hander. It was, it was some.

B (50:40)

I. Yeah, sorry.

A (50:42)

It was pioneer medicine.

B (50:43)

He can't go back this is no good. This is no good. I'll stay in theme with you. My Woody and nuts is for the first, I don't know, eight weeks of Ruby's life, we bring him to a doctor and first thing they would say is, oh, don't worry, don't worry. His head, it'll be totally fine. Like, I'm like, what are you nuts? His head is perfect. They were commenting because apparently they're worried that babies that are C section will have like a flat head and it's like, he's literally perfect. Like, what are you talking about? What are you nuts? Like, oh, yeah, don't worry. It'll be fine. I didn't. I wasn't worried. There's no worry. Okay? I'm that worried. What are you, nuts? Keep it to yourself. Okay? You know what else is nuts, Josh? Not giving this episode five stars.

A (51:29)

I was going to say that. That's what I was going to say.

B (51:31)

And what else is nuts, folks, is not giving us five stars on everywhere. Wherever you get your podcasts, rate us on YouTube. Leave a review. I don't think you can review YouTube. Leave us a comment.
