That's what that means.
A
Yeah.
B
Swallow or it'll get swallowed.
A
Yeah. Think about it, dude.
B
No, I'm thinking.
A
Well, yeah, if you had a fortune cookie, what would it say?
B
Mine would say, if it's free, take two.
A
I love that one, actually.
B
You know what I mean?
A
Yeah. There would be another one that would say reach for the stars. Because if you don't, then you just won't.
B
That's deep, right? Yeah. Because if you don't, then you physically won't.
A
So at least try, right? Yeah, yeah.
B
There was another quote that I really like. I thought that's the one you were gonna say. It was like, shoot for the star. So if you fall, you land on the moon. So it's like, aim high.
A
Yeah.
B
Because if all else fails, you'll still be at a really good spot.
A
You'll still be higher than. Not what he started. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Another quote I would say is. I would say, like, you know what I mean? Don't let the burner burn you, you know?

B
You're good, dude. Okay, check this out, bro. We are officially nationwide in Walmart, all right? No matter what Walmart you live by, you can walk in and get your saluth. And here's a question I've been getting asked for. Asked to. I had two white cloths, and I swear to God, I'm already feeling it. I walk into a Walmart and I see the hydration. Joshy poo. But I don't find the energy. When's the energy coming? It's here, baby.
A
Nationwide.
B
Nationwide.
A
Oh, my God.
B
Yeah. You can walk into any Walmart right now and you are going to find your energy. Salud. The one that's available right now is Fresandia, which is personally one of my favorites.

A
Is that like their kind of Walmart?

I think that's like their Ralph's, like more like their grocery store HB for the people in Texas. Like stuff like that. So we are currently there now so you can find. We have four flavors there, hydration and one energy as well. We have one energy flavor which I'm assuming Isandia. And yeah, a lot of big things are happening in Salud. We're officially nationwide in Target. This is huge, man. This is huge. All over the, all over the.

On the website. On the website, no matter where you.

B
It started a week ago.
A
About a week ago.
B
About a week ago. But it's happening right now.
A
I love that. You know what, right now you said like now we're nationwide at Walmart and it just, it just reminded me when you first told me you're going to be at a couple.
B
Yeah, yeah. They started us off and now you like 540 stores and.
A
Yeah, that's not a cover but you know. No, no, no.
B
It is though, bro.
A
It is a couple compared to how much there are.
B
Right, Correct.
A
But like it's just so beautiful the way that you said like now we're nationwide. You said it so nonchalantly.
B
Yeah. How should I have said it?
A
No, it was. No, it was good. That means that like things are great, things are good. But it's just like for me, it's like you, me hearing you say like this, I'm like, wow, so much can happen in a year, you know, Bro, I'm so glad.
B
Okay, we're gonna dive into this super quick. I'm so glad you brought it up because I'm so fortunate that Saluth has been growing at such a fast rate and it really has to do with everybody just like supporting the brand, loving the brand, just like backing us up, honestly. But sometimes I don't really take in everything that's happening because things happen so fast, you know? And now, right now, you're right. Like, nationwide, you can walk into any Walmart across America and you will see. Salud.
A
Yeah. Yeah. It was just. It kind of tripped me out when you said that right now.
B
I was like, that's pretty crazy, because.
A
I remember when you were just talking about it, you know, like, n. That wasn't that long ago.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, oh, guess what, Sevas. Like, you look hot today, but also like, oh, we're gonna be in Walmart.
B
Yeah.
A
And then I'm like, thank you.
B
You look hot today. And also we're gonna be in Walmart.
A
Yeah. Oh, thank you. But dang, one more thing. That's sick. And then now, like, all nationwide is on your side, and boom, we there, baby. That's amazing. Shout out to you and your team.
B
Thank you, bro. Quick story about that. We were in Chicago this past, like, two weeks ago, and my brother, he was like, hey, Josh. Like, he's like, dude, that Mark Cuban episode, he was like, the one time you needed a pitch. Salud. Perfectly. You executed it, like, perfectly. Like, you were brilliant on it. He was, like, telling me this across the dinner table.
A
Your brother said that?
B
Yeah. And, dude, it hit me right in the. Hard, bro. Hard, bro. It was. Hit me so hard because it came from him. And I felt like. I just felt how proud he was of me. And that's the first time where it hit me, because I saw. I was like, this is affecting. This has a ripple effect, you know? And I literally started crying at the dinner table. And then my whole family started crying. Mo. My mom, Marky, was like, why do you always get me like this? Because I was like, thank you, man. That. That means so much to me. That means. It meant a lot, like, because it did. It meant a lot to me because it meant a lot to him because how proud he was of me, you know, it was like one of those, like, cool, really cool moments that I haven't really got to have in Salud because it happened so fast, which I'm super grateful for.
A
But, yeah, no, it's you. You did.
B
Yeah. That was cool.
A
I mean, I don't know if you remember me, but I was just like, yeah, I was like, in my own little cloud, like, just watching you pitch, you know, something that you sort of pitched to me. I did years ago.
B
You were my first mark. Yeah.
A
So that's. I was like this. And I was like, yeah, he used to do that to me. Okay. Not just you.
B
No, bro.
A
It was. It was magical.
B
I don't mean to get all sappy here. The opportunity that you gave me to present Salud on a platform that you had, and you were so gracious and open to do it. It's something I'll never forget, man.
A
No.
B
Yeah.
A
I always. I always.
B
Success that. Imagine all the success that we have. Bro. You are a huge part of that.
A
No, I appreciate that.
B
And I know you know that, but I need to reiterate.
A
I. I know that, but I'm so grateful that I love you. I love your whole team. I love the brand.
B
Yeah.
A
So I'm. Instead of me, like, knowing that. It's just like. I'm just so proud to even be, like, a part of it.
B
Huge part of it. From the jump, Bro. The first time the words were ever spoken out into the ethers were by you.
A
You know why, right?
B
No.
A
Because I'm the connector.
B
Okay. You have this whole idea that you connect everybody with everybody.
A
But do you think it's not true?
B
It's partially true.
A
I. In life. You will find one person in your life that connects people together.
B
If somebody asks you. We are going on such a different tangent here.
A
But it's true. That's why.
B
No, I want to ask you a question. Do you feel like that is.
A
I know I have that power.
B
That's your strong suit as a human being.
A
It's not my strong shoe. It's my power.
B
Superpower.
A
It's something that nobody can have other than me and maybe a couple other people. I am a connector.
B
You just gave me your Christmas gift idea. I already know what I'm gonna buy you.
A
What? No.
B
But.
A
Yeah. I. I understand. Don't tell me what I understand. And I'm not. I'm not being ungrateful about it. I understand that I am privileged enough to. For my side of the family and for all my friends that I am the connector.
B
You know why I feel like you're so good at connecting Is because you have a very good sense of humans. Like, just bear with me, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
You understand humans really well. You. I have a good gauge.
A
Yeah.
B
So the people that you bring around. You all happen to be really good people.
A
Yes.
B
And everybody sitting in this room really stems from you.
A
I know.
B
Yeah.
A
I am the connector.
B
Wow. You just. I just proved your point for you. Damn.
A
No, I know. I. Like.
B
Did you just do that to me with your superpowers? You're good.
A
No, like I said, like, it's something that, like.
B
Damn.
A
Like what? Sometimes it's a lot for me. But at the end of the Day. Like, I just. I just take it in, you know? I am the connector. Like, Like I am that guy.
B
Sometimes you have really good moments that happen to you and then you just take them way too far from.
A
I'm just saying I'm the connector. Like, sometimes this is what anything that correlates to me. If you just know sevas good things are gonna happen to you. I am the connector.
B
I'm not mad at that.
A
I, I, I, I am the collector. I'm. I'm. You know, like when people that. That food's the plug. I'm more than the plug.
B
But why are we still talking about this? Okay, you just gotta say thank you. I already gave you all the flowers.
A
We can't.
B
You can't give yourself flowers.
A
No, it's just.
B
Wait, can you.
A
Yes.
B
You can give yourself.
A
I can give myself flowers. It's one of those things where it's. The only thing that I give myself that I would give myself flowers about is that I am the connector. Call me the connector because that's who I am. I am the enchufe. I am the enchufe of everyone's life.
B
Such a badass superhero name.
A
Ellen.
B
Yeah, bro. But get that as a tattoo, bro.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah. But I'm glad you noticed. I noticed the connector.
B

We know how to g. Shout out to Betsy. She's part of our team. She's been asking me for this gift guide, bro, since early November. She's like, josh, when's a gift guide? Like, she relies on us, bro. Like, 50% of her gifts are going to be guided by la platica. So let's make sure we guide them correctly, bro.
A
Yeah. No. 100. I'm ready.
B
Have a list of gifts that you guys are going to guide towards my way.
A
Don't be telling people. And I'm gonna buy hot dog machines like last year.
B
What's wrong with a hot dog machine?
A
Nobody bought it.

B
Listen, and also, one thing I'm going to be pushing for, guys, is we're going to be dropping merch all the time from here on out. Once we get going, there's a little thing I like to call momentum, and the momentum is about to be created.

Not only because of what we're thankful for this week and everybody around this, in this atmosphere, but we're. We're taking a shot because. Because this is our first merch drop ever.

You know, I've only dropped merch one time in my life.
A
Yeah.
B
Early on in my YouTube career. And it was so cool and I just never did it sense. But I'm more proud about this than I've ever been about anything else.
A
Yeah.
B
So this merch right here, bro, is gonna be, like, embedded in my heart forever. This drop means so much to me, bro. It means so much to me.
A
Yeah, it did. Yeah.
B
To the point that it kind of like, frustrates me when it, like, things just don't go the way.
A
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it. And like, people don't understand that, like, to be honest, there's probably going to be way cooler stuff in the future. What.
B
What's wrong with ourselves?
A
Hold on. But this was the first one.
B
This one.
A
This one's like, if you got this one, this was Josh and sell us his first job. If you got this one, you might be even if you would resell it. This. This will make you a lot of money, bro.

You gotta deep fry that at 474 degrees. You gotta marinate that for five years, take it out, dust it off, like, all. Bro, I've never tried a juicy turkey. The bottom line is, turkey's dry. Yeah, turkey's dry, okay? And turkey's cool. I'll eat it because for. For the shits and gigs of Thanksgiving, but nothing's gonna impress me. I always. I. You know, I'm a night. I'm such a nice guy anytime. Because my. I have a cousin, bro. He's all. He's a. He's a deep fryer turkey. He puts his life on the line to deep fry a turkey because you know how dangerous it is. People die deep frying turkeys. You have to. There's like a whole technique with it.

You got to do it slowly, bro.
B
People explode. It causes like, atomic explosion. And because he puts his life on the line, I always go like, damn, primo, you're good. This right here, juicy f. Deep down inside, I'm like, dry as. Dude.
A

B
He doesn't know that I've ever said that. And I just expose myself, you know what I mean? Maybe it's. It's the. It's the cheese. Me.
A
Yeah, it's. When you do. When you do a turkey, I guess, really, it's just. How dry? Shits and gigs, how dry is your turkey going to be? From 1 to 10, right? Like, not that dry. Pretty dry.
B
And 10, right? Yeah, not that dry is a 10.
A
Like a juicy chicken is like not that dry of a chicken, but it's still dry.

Chicken that gets juicy juices. It's the juiciest, like brisket.
B
Juiciest turkey. It's like a well done steak.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. My swagger is a pretty good turkey, but I know what you mean. Like, it's still not as juicy as like a chicken or a.
B
And it's not like the top layer that's juicy, really. Where the skin's at. It's all sitting up there. Once you kind of get to the meat of the turkey. Dry. F. Dry.

A
Oh, my God.
B
What's your favorite dish?
A
Thanksgiving stuffing.
B
Relax, dude.
A
But not on the centerpiece.
B
You're gonna be in my centerpiece?
A
Yeah. It's actually kind of ridiculous how we have to stuff a turkey's butt and then put bread in there.
B
But that whole thing come from, like, what's the history of stuffing?
A
I don't know. Can we. Can we Google the history of who made the first?
B
You're like, I got this incredible dish. Where should we put it? And the turkey?
A
Huh?
B
Put it up his ass.
A
Yeah.
B
Trust me to try it. All right. Dude, have you ever seen somebody, like, stuff a turkey?
A
Yeah. It's so nonchalant.
B
Yeah.
A
It's like, bro, this shit was Bebo like, fudgeing two weeks ago. Relax. Wow. Let me read it one minute or fucking read it. Don't interrupt me like that. No. Do we have a good one or. Not really.
C
Not really. Give me a sec. Hold on.
A
Stuffing is kind of insane.
B
Put it up his ass. I feel like it was somebody in the back of the room. Like, what do we do with this?
A
Put it up his ass. First of all, turkey. Okay. I get it. Wild animals back in the day, like, you know, people got to eat.
B
People got to eat, baby.
A
But, like, the whole, like. Like, there had to be one guy that took bread. And what's in stuffing the bread? Gravy. It's almost everything. Vegetables.
B
Yeah.
A
Cranberry vegetables. Some sort of sauce.
B
Yeah.
A
It almost looks like. Like, you took all those ingredients, you actually masticarlos yourself, and then you spit it back out and stuck it in there. That's really what it looks like, Honestly.
B
And.
A
Honestly. That's really what it looks like, Honestly.
B
Looks kind of good to me.
A
No, it's really good.
B
Delicious.
A
It's my favorite.
B
Here we go. We got something.
A
The practice of stuffing a turkey has its origins in the Roman cookbook apicious, which dates back to the first century. You know what AD means?
B
After death?
A
Anthony Davis. The Romans stuffed a variety of animals with a mixture of vegetables, herbs, spices, the Romans, and spelt. An early type of wheat. They especially enjoyed stuffing Chickens, rabbits, and pigs.
B
Okay.
A
But for special occasions, they would stuff edible de moi.
B
Okay. So stuffing has been a thing for a long time. It's not just like. I thought it was like, a Thanksgiving thing.
A
Orchard. If you stuff it, it'll retain its moisture.
B
Oh, so there's a.
A
And then it would help save stuffing. It would help save oven space.
B
Culinary reasons.
A
Stuffing can make the turkey look more festive. Don't tell that to a turkey. They might have a different opinion.
B
Stuffing can help save oven space.
A
Yeah, because then you would have to use something else to stuff instead of just putting it all in the same thing.
B
Oh, okay. I don't know, man. I love it. Listen, when I eat it, I just eat it as a side dish.
A
Me too.
B
I don't really take it out of.
A
More stuffing, please. That's what you. If you come over to my house, that's all you hear.
B
Yeah.
A
More stuffing, please. More stuffing, please.
B
No pauses.
A
More stuffing, please. And you just see Sarah's on top of a centerpiece.
B
What are your thoughts on ham?
A
Great. Love.
B
It's so good.
A
Love ham.
B
I'm a ham guy.
A
Love ham. You don't have ham on Thanksgiving. Like, what are you doing?
B
Ham is goaded.
A
Ham is goaded.
B
Goaded.
A
I rather. I think, honestly, in my family, there's more ham than turkey.
B
As there should be.
A
As there should be.
B
As there should be. My.
A
My. One of my Diaz makes this beautiful. I don't know if it's just like a Mexican thing. I don't know. Maybe just my thea. It's like this green spaghetti that has slashes of turkey in it. It's like a pasta. Oh, delicious.
B
Wait, slashes of turkey and like.
A
Like, just like turkey. Like, they get a turkey cut, thinly cut slices of turkey and just a. Like a spaghetti pasta, but it's green.
B
That's.
A
Oh, it's fantastic.
B
Have you ever had that? Have you guys had that?

B
Everything, bro, My mouth got watery. I love cornbread. Yeah, cornbread is good. Oh, I've had this before.

I don't know. Why don't eat it outside of Thanksgiving. Why am I not eating cornbread more? Cornbread is so good, bro. Why isn't cornbread more cornbread?
A

At restaurants, you go. You sit down with it on, like, either chips and salsa or buying Bonnie butter. Right?
A
Yeah.
B
Why not cornbread? There's certain restaurants that do the barbecue spots.
A
Give you cornbread.
B
I need more of it. I need more cornbread.
A
But then again, it's rare for like. Like for me. Why don't I go to more barbecue spots often? Why does it always have to be sushi, Italian, French cuisine? I'm a big French cuisine type of guy.

B
Nah, bro. Listen, bro, let's get into this. Give guys this guy these gifts to be guided.
A
I got it. I got it.
B
All right, look, look. I don't have specific gift guides, okay? I'm be real with you. I came Unprepared. Guys, I'm really sorry, okay? I did all right?
A
And I'm pissed off about that.
B
And here's the thing. I. They told me to try, and I didn't.
A
And I'm pissed off about that.
B
I understand that. And you should be very upset with me. Honestly, you should be super upset. But look, I do have what they call pointers. And I thought about this on my drive over here to the studio. Okay? This is. This is geared towards the girls. Okay? This.
A
Wait, hold on real quick. Can we turn these TVs down? It's a little hot. It's hot as AK.
B
Put the AK. Put the AC on F. I can really feel it.
A
It's weird.
B
It's just hot in here.
A
F. No, but Masaka. Fool. Say that with me. Masaka. Say that.
B
Can I tell you something? Say that I feel it hot right now.
A
Right? I'm telling you. No, honestly, I'm only hot right here.
B
I feel like I'm hot right here.
A
You sound like you're the movie Apocalypto. Like you're. You're.
B
You're King.
A
Masaka.
B
Ask me my name.
A
What's your name?
B
Massacre.
A
Yeah. Ain't that crazy?
B
Ask me again.
A
Like, bro, if nobody understood that you know, Spanish, they wouldn't. What the is this food saying? Sounds like those foods from Apocalypto.
B
That was an apocalyptic God.
A
Yeah, but Masaka means, like, more over here. More over here, or more closer over here, right? Yeah, or more here. I feel it.
B
More over here. Yeah. Masaka.
A
Masaka.
B
What were we talking about?
A
Masaka.
B
No, no, no, no, no, no. The. Oh, the guides. Oh, that was kind of like asmr.
A
Yeah. Okay. Guides. Go. Oh, you said you had to.
B
I have some pointers for the girlies. I. And I genuinely thought about this because I was like, look, I don't have necessarily specific gift guides, and I know you guys have prepared some and I can't wait to hear them, and I can't wait to shut them down. But I think that there's important things that you should know about your partner going into gift giving season. And if you understand these basic principles that I'm about to give you, you will be successful, I promise you. Okay? As a man, these are the things that you need to know. Sorry. As a woman dating a man. Or a man dating a man, whatever. Knowing this, I'm specifically talking about me. Like, if my girl knows this about me, she's going to be good. Okay, you want to know what they are, and you're Going to totally agree with me what shoe size they are.
A
Okay.
B
If they do or do not wear jewelry. If so, what type of jewelry do they like? Are they a gold? Are they a silver guy? How do they like their necklaces? Are they more like thin? Are they more like. Like, you know the. This is like, for example, this is an 18 inch chain. I like my. I like my jewelry no more than 20 inches. That's just me. You should know that because you don't like it.
A
You don't like it that long.
B
I don't like it that long.
A
Pause.
B
Yes. Right. So that's one thing. That's another thing. Another thing you should know. You should know your. The guy's hat size.
A
Yes.
B
Fitted hats. I'm a seven and a half. Ask my girl if she knows my hat size.
A
She.
B
Do I know Your hat size? 7 and a half because of the braids.
A
And if I don't have my braids on.
B
Seven and three. Eight.
A
Okay.
B
Okay, that's so that's three. Another thing, the last thing you should know is shirt size. Also pay attention to what kind of shirts they like. Do they like more fitted? Do they like baggy, oversized, whatever it is. If you know those four things, things you will never fail as a gift. If my girl got me shoes, a chain, a hat and a shirt.
A
Money I won, baby. Yeah.
B
That's it. That's the ultimate gift right there. But you can't do this. Hey, baby, what size shoes are you? No, you need to know that. You need to know that in January.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I'm saying? You gotta start paying attention to details.
A
Yeah, I agree. Just like jewelry is dope too. Jewelry. So too. But there are some picky people in this world like me. I'm picky.
B
They are, they are. But I think I can appreciate if somebody can understand that I really wear silver most of the time.
A
Yeah.
B
And they give me a silver thing and they're like, I got you a silver 20 inch chain that alone wet you where? Sure.
A
Like in your butt crack or just.
B
Sweating like swamp ass fire right here. But yeah, you get me those things. I think those are the keys to success. Ladies, I'm helping you out here. Men, we need to pay attention too.
A
You know, I'm glad that you said that.
B
Honestly, it should be reversed as well. Like for men. I think we should. We should definitely know our girls.
A
Shoe size 100. Jewelry as ring size too.
B
I know with girls it tends to be a little bit more trickier. With Julie, I feel like guys are simple when it comes to jewelry. Guy likes gold, he wears gold. If he likes silver, he wears silver. Most guys would. You agree? Yeah, girls, I know they mix and match and stuff like that, but I think that's okay. Pay attention. If they like watches, we should know if they're watch girls because a lot of girls don't like watches. So knowing if getting them a watch is a good idea, if they're even going to wear it. Another thing I think guys should pay attention to when it comes to girls is sense. You took the words out of my mouth or my nose.
A
Yeah. Like if they like nickels or pennies or quarters, like sometimes they collect that stuff. Like that.
B
Sense is good, bro. I like that. Paying attention to per perfumes. Yeah. Cuz but if it don't make sense, then it don't make dollars at all. Exactly. Yeah. But I think the.
A
By the way, I was talking about not pennies. That was just a joke, right?
B
No, the joke was great. Just didn't land.
A
Okay. Yeah. Sense is really important.
B
Yes, sense is good. I like that. Even for guys too. That's one I missed.
A
But yeah, for guys too.
B
I feel like there's like five colognes out there in the world and it sucks that like all the guys wear. Right. Like there's like a. The Dolce and Cabana Blue, the. The Savage.
A
Yeah. But that only happens because Sevas allows that to happen. But once that was wears a certain type of thing, then it opens up the gate for something else.
B
I love that, man. Amen.
A
Which I have a couple here for you.
B
I love it. I love it. So anyways, that was my tidbit for gift guides. That is what I'm contributing to the gift guide world.
A
And ladies, and I promise you, if.
B
If you deliver all those things that I said. Is that, is that money? Right?
A
No, it's money. And then. And, and a guy, a real man, can't be mad at that. Oh hell. Which you shouldn't be mad at anything because Christmas is not about gifts. It's about gifts. So. And especially for like a fitted hat, there's some like you might play, you might play it easy and say like, oh, let me just get him a snapback. Sometimes you can't get a, a snapback that is supposed to be a fitted hat. And the fitted hat, like you don't know that. Like a lot of girls don't know that.
B
Right, right. That's a good point. That's a really good point.
A
I know it is.
B
Just to add more to that, the fitted hats are customized to that specific person. So that's just that extra little detail of like, oh, wow, you got my actual hat size. Like, this fits me perfectly.
A
Yeah. In two seconds. And, like, right after that, you guys will be having a quickie ASAP beginning. No, but that's true. You can't just give somebody. Us.
B
Calm down, drink one more, be insane.
A
There's certain snapbacks that you can give. There's some snapbacks that are designed to be worn as a snapback, and that's just facts. But there are some hats that you can't gift it as a snapback. I'm sorry. Like, it's weird to say that, but it's the same thing as, like, telling your mom, hey, I want these new Jordans that they cost, you know, X amount of money when we were kids. And then she goes, no, mihoma. Get you the Jordans that they sell at Champs Perales.
B
Right? No, that's.
A
And then you're like, mom, it's not the same. They're not the same. Even though they look the same, but they're not the same. It's the same thing.
B
It's. It's weird because in, like, culture like, that, it's a thing, right? Like, for example, the Jordan ones, there's a high tops, there's a mid tops, there's a low tops. The ones that are unacceptable in the street are the mid tops, but they look just as cool, if we're being honest here. But there is something in culture that just. It doesn't give the green light.
A
It doesn't. Yeah.
B
Yeah. But you know what's crazy? The mids are kind of coming up a little bit. Was there, like, a little wave of, like, the mids coming in?
A
I don't know, you know, like, where.
B
You don't wear Jordans anymore?
A
Dude, I. I. No, I don't, but I have. I have a couple mids, a couple of meds.
B
Favorite Jordans. Oh, that's. If you're. If your man wears Jordans, knowing the Jordans that he wears is also a really cool thing. I mean, that's like. That's. That's bonus points. That's like top tier.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. Yeah. You're 100, right? And I'm glad that you talked about, like, kind of, like the basics.
B
The basics.
A
Those are the basics. And if you shouldn't have any excuse. I couldn't get my. I couldn't get my vato, you know, a gift this year. Like, why not? Like, Josh told you what to do. I gave you the basic there's nothing that, you know, like, Josh, thank you so much for doing that. You just helped billions of people.
B
Yeah.
A
So the first thing that happens is now if people. Sometimes they do it up right, and Christmas comes around. What's one thing that everybody kind of does, especially when you're in a relationship? Everybody has. It starts with an S and ends with an S. Everybody has this? Yeah, with the. Like, sometimes some people celebrate like this. It starts with an S. Everybody has one in their house.
B
Wait, so I don't even understand the question.
A
Everybody has. If you celebrate Christmas. Okay, most of the time.
B
Is this a gift?
A
Listen to me. Jesus Christ, guy. All right, man.
B
No, that's fair, man. No, I deserve that.
A
Let me talk, man.
B
I deserve everything.
A
Everybody knows a guy that talks like that, huh? Yeah. When you were talking like, man, let me talk, man.
B
That's a little racist, bro.
A
Why?
B
You tell me.
A
Why.
B
Josh, you're so nervous right now. You're about to get canceled. Did you hear? Seva? Let's go, man. Cancel, bro. Consoles, bro.
A
I wonder what I said.
B
No, you're good, bro.
A
Everybody that celebrates Christmas most of the time has one of these hanging around. It starts with an S, ends with.
B
An S. Stocking stuffer.
A
Yeah, dude. Come on, man. Give me some. What's up, dude?
B
All right.
A
Good job, man. You got it.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay.
A
A stocking stuffer.
B
Yeah, we got some behind us.
A
Yeah, exactly.
B
Mine has a J.
A
Well, are some things that I can put in my stocking stuffer.
B
Dude. Okay, so we're talking stocking stuff before the main gifts.
A
Dude.
B
We're talking stocking stuffs.
A
We're talking stock stuff to stock your stuff.
B
Stock stuff.
A
Stuff to stock your stuff. No, stuff to stock your socks.
B
Stuff.
A
Stuff to stock your stocking stocks.
B
Yes. Stuff.
A
Yeah, I think.
B
I think, too.
A
Stock. No. Stuff to stock your stockings. Stuffers.
B
Yes. We got there. We did it. We were here.
A
All right, so I got some stuff because that's. It's a hard thing. I remember when Karen said, hey, I have a stocking stuffer, and so do you, man. What am I gonna put in there? Game Boy?
B
What? Yeah.
A
I don't know.
B
What's the. Can you talk to me about, like, the rules of the stocking stuff?
A
Well, I feel like they're more like. We always talk about, like, uncommon goods. You know, that. That stuff that ad stuff like that. Little things here and there. A pack of cars.
B
Oh, no. What about this? Like, your favorite candy bar. Bar.
A
Favorite candy bar. Favorite gum. Oh, favorite. Favorite little tree cards. You Order it. Oh, you know, Chapstick.
B
Oh, that's good. I always need chapstick. I always lose them.
A
It depends on you guys. Sex toys.
B
Love that. It's good.
A
Gift cards.
B
I love. I. I hate people that hate on gift cards.
A
Gift cards are money.
B
But people, like, literally. But this is this when people go, just not. Not gift cards. Give me the gift cards. I love a gift card.
A
I love gift cards.
B
I love a gift card.
A
So I put this.
B
I'll never shoot down a gift card.
A
Talking about hats. You can go to the Lids, for example. Get a gift card from Lids.
B
Oh, so customize it. Like, babe.
A
Yeah. You can put a Lids gift card.
B
The.
A
The brand. The company that sells hats in case you don't know their hat size.
B
I like that. No, no, that. Okay. You were thinking in case last. You should though. Okay, I would do that. And I'll say, get yourself a seven and a half on me.
A
Okay. I like that.
B
That's hot, bro. That's hot.
A
That is hot.
B
That's hot.
A
You can look. I wrote it down. You could put a. A gas card. Gift card.
B
That's. Dude, hotter.
A
One thing that makes Josh super wet. I was gonna say me, but I'm like that. It's you today. One thing that gets Josh stupid damp. Like, to the point where it's like. Like, so damp and moist. Literally, he like, you feel like it's a hot day waiting in line on the tram for Universal Studios. It's just missed.
B
And.
A
Yeah, just misty as. You know what gets him really hard damp is a gas card.
B
I love that.
A
Because what's better than going to stupid gas station that we all hate to pour gas?
B
I hate pouring gas.
A
But then when you pour gas, you're like, damn, I didn't pay for this.
B
I didn't pay for different. See, it makes it better.
A
Oh, my God. Immediately, a gas car.
B
Anything free is. I love anything free is great.
A
Free is great. Another thing that I put, like, AMC gift cards.
B
Oh, they're movie people.
A
Movie people. So you guys can go on dates. Like, baby, I got you a movie card. You know, like AMC Regal.
B
Yeah, look, I know I keep.
A
Sinapoulos. Whatever.
B
I keep pushing on this narrative, but I like personal customizing, so it's not just a gift card. It's the same thing I made about the hats. The. The lit. Get yourself the seven and a half. If there's a movie they've been wanting to watch, and you get them the AMC gift card. I hope you enjoy watching the new whatever gladiator 2. I think that just takes it that much further. Cuz like I'm listening, I'm paying attention. But yes, it's just a gift card. It's thoughtful, it's, it's intended.
A
Normally when you get a gift card, it comes with an envelope.
B
Exactly.
A
You can write a little message. You know, things like that are like. Guys, think about it. Things like that will get you laid.
B
Exactly.
A
Other things too. Like dress has a grocery gift cards. Grocery gift cards. That too. Like I wouldn't, like, I wouldn't want one.
B
Are you kidding me?
A
I wouldn't want one.
B
Why not?
A
Because I don't like going to grocery store.
B
It's the car gift card.
A
Instacart gift card is great.
B
Hell yeah, dude.
A
But like bro, I'm. I'm sure people would love gift cards. Like grocery gift cards. Another thing too, like if you like sports.
B
Love sports.
A
Like, like if you like tennis. Tennis balls.
B
Oh, golf balls.
A
Like golf balls. Like bro, a 12 pack of golf balls. Every guy, it doesn't even matter. Just don't get him the cheap golf balls because then he gets roasted by his boys. Do not get him cheap golf balls. Just get them some tailor made, some strix on some callaways or some. If you really want to go all out some tireless pro V ones. Those are just. You're good. You'll be good.
B
I will say this. Can I do an asterisk?
A
You.
B
You're giving them like gold advice. If all you can afford is just golf balls, just get them golf balls. But if you're trying to really take it there, I think that that is that. I really do believe that. Because bro, if you're just starting off golfing, it doesn't matter what kind of balls you have. Just play with any balls. Put the balls in your mouth. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Okay, but I like what you're saying. I'm not shooting you down.
A
Why are you looking at me? Shut me down.
B
No, I'm not. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
A
Okay, tomorrow play with some noodles then.
B
I'm not. Because I'm a good.
A
Okay. No, no, I said that. Rewind. What I said. I said Christmas is not about gifts. It's about time and, and, and, and. And spending time with your family.
B
That's not what you said.
A
Whatever. Rewind that.
B
I don't wind it back.
A
Christmas is not about gifts. It's about gifts. It's about spending time with your family. I'm saying this for all the Guys out there, I don't care if you just started. I'm gonna see, I'm gonna meet somebody that says, oh, my. My girl, watch your gift guide. And she said, give me any type of boss. And now I'm gonna this with these noodles. And I'm getting roasted. No, I'm not gonna say that.
B
Look, I'm thinking about the per. Look, man.
A
No, that's fine. But I'm saying it for the guys right now.
B
Okay? Fair.
A
So if you don't, if you want to buy some cha Ass golf balls that cost $10 at Target, go for it. Okay? But I know how your man's gonna act, and if it don't, something else.
B
All right, fair. All right, cool.
A
All right. You golfing those golf balls?
B
If my girl got me those balls, I kiss her feet.
A
And you'd probably use them as range.
B
Balls because I'm grateful. Now you feel so dumb.
A
No, you just shot me down. Don't ever shoot me down. No, but things like that. By the way, can I talk to you?
B
You're killing it right now.
A
Golf tees. Great, great stocking stuffers.
B
Yeah.
A
Socks.
B
I love socks.
A
Calzones. I'm gonna give you the three best brands of calzones. Lululemon, top tier, Nike.
B
Okay.
A
Nike is there.
B
Nike's there. Specific ones, though.
A
And. And. And you know what?
B
And if you don't say this one, I'm gonna be so mad at you. You have to say it's just iconic.
A
Calvin Klein.
B
Yes.
A
Okay. Calvin Klein. Sure. So top four. And honestly, I'm actually surprised I'm gonna say this, but care. I think they sent Karen this PR where it had men's underwear, and I wear them. And it was skims.
B
Oh, yeah, they're great. Skims are very good. They remind me of the Lululemon.
A
Nothing makes a man feel more comfortable during this day. And it makes you feel like, oh, it makes you feel good. Makes you feel settled in your day. Does that make any sense? No.
B
It does. It's kind of weird that it does it.
A
Like, because I get it. Put on, like, really good underwear and you feel like you're just. You're just that guy.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, because when you put shitty underwear on, you're like, depending on my day.
B
I know. I get it. Depending on my day. That's what I base my underwear on.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, if I'm like this, Today's the day. I know exactly which ones I'm wearing.
A
Like, say you have a really important day, right? On a Saturday date night. And then after that you have an event and then maybe, you know, you, you have like a meeting and stuff like that today. You know, it really just does. It does that.
B
It doesn't.
A
It gives you that boost of energy.
B
Yeah.
A
So Carsonas are a big bro.
B
How do we come out with la platica? Calzones?
A
I think they have to, they have to be clutch. They have to be amazing.
B
To be buttery.
A
They have to be amazing.
B
The word is buttery. Yeah, that's what Carson is like, buttery, but also, like confined. Like, they're like, they have support. Buttery with support. Yeah, that's the tagline.
A
Yeah. No, I agree. Calzones. What else do I have in here?
B
Dude, you're doing such a good job, dude. I'm so proud of you right now.
A
Are you?
B
Yeah. Like, I, I, I would be so grateful if I was, like, in a need for.
A
You know what else I put on my thing? LED keychain.
B
This is actually pretty handy. I like this.
A
I only have one because every man needs a powerful LED keychain.
B
So, like, a light. What if somebody says, like, what about the one on your phone?
A
Okay, look at. This is the one on your phone.
B
Yeah, give me a comparison. Okay, that's pretty good. It's decent. Does the job. Whoa, dude.
A
Whoa.
B
Yeah, That's a big difference. Wow. No, yeah. Okay, you, you know what, dude? You, you proved your point. You proved your point.
A
No, honestly, it's little things like that that make men happy.
B
So what about, like, one of those, like, switch the little pocket knives?
A
Sick. Yeah, sick, sick. Guys. Men love little things like that. Men love the, the little, like, oh, look at my little knife.
B
Or like, how come pocket knives are not like a thing anymore? Like, they need to come back because they're sick, bro.
A
Well, let's buy some.
B
We should, we should have pocket knives.
A
Just try stabbing each other, dude.
B
But you can do so much. You can file. You have little scissors, you have toothpicks.
A
And then you can use them as a weapon.
B
Exactly.
A
You can fight.
B
Somebody wants to come in here and.
A
Let'S go on a short break. I got some more advice. And I know you do, too, because I know that you, like, took hours to write things down and thought like that. So thanks for trying. We'll be right back. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the Gift Guide, the year's annual gift guide, starring the Josh Lea, the guy that took so much time and preparing for today, and myself.
B
I gave them gold, dude, you did.
A
Give them gold, but just because you said that doesn't mean that, oh, everything's okay with me. And, you know, it's not. We're going on break.
B
We're beefing it.
A
So I have some gifts that I don't want to gatekeep, that I have, that I've bought, I've received as gifts, and I think they'll be really good Christmas gifts. There's one cologne out there that not a lot of people know about.
B
It's a good one.
A
It's a really good one. I'll get the price on it. I don't know how expensive it might be, but it's one that I've never had so many compliments on, ever. Men and female.
B
Wow. Now I'm intrigued.
A
The cologne is called eight and Bob. Ready?
B
Can you look? Can you pull this up, Jess?
A
It's right here.
B
Okay.
A
Okay. Eight, eight and Bob. Okay. There's a cologne out there. And shout out to Sierra for putting me on Sierra Jonathan's.

B
Eight and Bob.
A
Eight and Bob. How much is it?
B
Who makes it, Bob?
A
I don't know. The. It's just. It's eight and Bob. That's what the brand. No, but let me tell you the. The history on eight and Bob.

You don't know.
A
Yes, I do.
B
Go ahead.
A
Ah. Is there a specific scent? Yeah, it's. It's this one. Yeah, it's that one. Can. Can we get the. The backstory on 8 and Bob? I really want to just say something really quick. There you go. Yeah. Can you read that for us, Jess? I. I want you to read it because I. So people can take me. Take us seriously.
C
Okay.
A
I think the bottom. The bottom one, though. The bottom one.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Hurry up.
C
Well, this guy's name is Albert, man.
A
Okay.
B
Didn't know.
A
This cologne is sick.
C
So one night, during. One night during the summer vacation in 1937 on the French Riviera, Albert met and got on very well with a young American student who was touring France in a convertible. John F. Kennedy. Within minutes of being introduced, JFK was captivated by the essence that Albert wore. John's charm and congeniality persuaded Albert to leave him a sample of his fragrance with a note at the hotel the following morning. In this bottle, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks.
A
Bro, I'm telling you, this is John F. Kennedy's scent, and he got introduced by it. By this French dude that. The French dude, they obviously kicked in and they became homies later. But John F. Kennedy knew. What's up? I'm telling you right now, it's the greatest cologne that anybody has ever smelt. It's called 8 and Bob. And I didn't want to Gatekeeper no more. Sierra. Put me on. So shout out, Sierra. Karen absolutely loves it. And it's one of those bottles that like, normally I have a. Like a bottle of cologne and I go like this. This is just this look. Yahweh.
B
I'm buying it right now.
A
Yahweh. 8 and Bob.
B
Where do you buy it from? Fragrance net.com? like, where do you. Where am I buying.
A
Buy it from the website 8 and Bob.
B
But it's. It's European.
A
Oh, so it's Euro 190.
B
Oh, I got to do this.
A
So it's like 200 bucks, but the bottle is like almost like this big. Cuz I remember I have it and honestly, like, I'm not even trying to gatekeep. That is the most. It's the most beautiful. And it's not any of that. It's the first one right there. It's the clear one. The original 100 millimeters. 100 milliliters.
B
Wait, which one do you have? The 100 milliliters.
A
Yeah, the original. It's called the original Josh Reed.
B
I'm buying it. I'm buying it. I'm buying it.
A
It's. It's. It's spectacular.
B
I will review this and then I will circle back.
A
Why are you buying it, bro? I'm the only one in the crew that can wear it.
B
Well, I want to see what your shit's about.
A
Dude, this is for everybody else, not you.
B
Literally adding to cart.
A
Okay, now, next. Next items on on my Christmas list. We live in a. In. In a world full of social media, creating content, and not only that, just simply shooting stuff. Right? Am I right, Benecki? Yes. Well, I'm totally right. So basically, what can we buy that's nice that Sebas likes, right? Dude, you're gonna love that cologne.
B
All right, we'll see. 215. If I don't love it, you owe me 250.
A
There's one item that I always rave about. That's a camera slash video camera that I used to vlog with. I shoot all of my memories in Insta Stories, reels, whatever. And it's. It's a little pricey. It's like four or 500 bucks. But it's amazing. It's the Osmo Pocket 3.
B
Oh, those are sick.
A
And I think that if your man or even your girl loves to shoot or anything like that, it has.
B
So those are really cool.
A
So many, so many, so many cool features. You can follow the person a lot of the times. Where you see my wife Karen on social media, she goes by I love Sarai. You see her, like, her running videos, they're all shot with that same camera. It's The Osmo Pocket 3.
B
I love that. That's a good.
A
It's an amazing.
B
Now let's.
A
Amazing gift.
B
Let's just call it as it is. This is on the pricier.
A
It's on the pricier side. Yeah, sure.
B
Pricey gift, but great gift.
A
It's a great gift. I just.
B
Great.
A
You know, they're stalking stuffers. There's like, you know, stuff like that where you can like kind of splurge and. But if you want to splurge on your. On your woman or on your man, and they're into like creating content, they're into their techie, they're into creating memories.
B
You know why this one's cool too, because you have two different landscapes that you can do, like YouTube style, and then you can flip it. And that's the thing.
A
That's the thing with the new OSMO Pocket. It used to be just horizontal, so you would have to flip that shit like this. Now it's like this. And then when a flip of a switch, it can go either vertical or horizontal.
B
Is it like a fish island?
A
Amazing. It could be both. It can be everything.
B
Because I'm not a big fan of fisheye.
A
Me neither. It's very versatile. It shoots in 4k. I think the quality is just insane. It's really remarkable what this piece of little device does, especially.
B
How's the battery life?
A
It's fantastic.
B
Takes an SD card.
A
Takes a Micro SD card.
B
Micro sd.
A
Micro sd. It's a little one.
B
So you got to get an adapter to be able to plug it into your computer.
A
Well, some computers have it already, but. Yeah, sure, but that's. That's not a problem. You can buy an adapter for a dollar, but.
B
Well, most like Micro SE already come with the adapter.
A
Yeah, you can shoot anything with that thing. You can shoot action videos, you can shoot beauty tutorials, you can even shoot a podcast. Honestly, you can even shoot vlogs. You know, it's. It's a really, really cool. It's a really cool gift.
B
That was a really good gift. That was probably like the best gift you recommended today.
A
Yeah, It's a great gift. It's a great gift. It's a great gift. I enjoy.
B
Would you get that gift for, like, your dad?
A
Yeah, I would, actually. If I knew that my dad really liked the. To create memories and record as he does, I would definitely give him that gift. It's really easy. You're, you know, you pull it out, pause, fair, and then you can record in two seconds. You pull it out, you. You turn it on. You're recording in two seconds. It's quick. One other one. One other mention is. You already mentioned it is jewelry. One other mention that men love is mini fridges. Men love to have a mini fridge in their office. If your man has an office.
B
No, no, no, no. Not even that, bro. If your man has, like, his own space, he will figure out a place to put the mini fridge.
A
If your man has his own space that he does. Video games, an office, an editing room, a little cigar room, whatever, and he doesn't have a mini fridge. What are you waiting for?
B
Yeah, you're welcome. That's a solid gift.
A
Another thing, Oakley glasses, okay? For athletics, everybody has Oakley glasses. And if you don't, it's a great gift. And they have such a variety of Oakley glasses.
B
They do.
A
They have the radars that I like.
B
Those are good.
A
The Hydras that I like. Yeah, the Katos that I like. You recently just bought the Cato.
B
Those are the ones that are like one.
A
Yeah, they're one thing, the Katos. And guess what? If you want to be like Josh Leyva, grab the Cato's.
B
They are on the pricier side.
A
Yeah. But these are all gifts that are kind of like a little bit more pricier on the 2 to 3.
B
Premium.
A
Yeah, these are more. I'm saying premium gifts.
B
Yeah.
A
Because we talked about stocking stuffers. We talked about, like, the whole spiel that you gave out. Great advice on. But these are more like premium gifts. Like, damn, let me, like, you know, splurge. Let me splurge. Like, that's fair. That's very. Yeah, I like that.
B
I like that. I like that.
A
Let's take a shot. You know why? Because you're, like, starting to, like, die down. I don't like it. I don't like it.
B
I'm up.
A
Take a shot.
B
I'm hungry. That's what it is, bro. I'm hungry.
A
But are you dying down?
B
No, I'm not dying down. I'm here.
A
Admit that you're dying down.
B
No, you're giving, dude. Sometimes when somebody has the floor, you give it to them, and you let them dance, and you let them take over the dance floor, and you just admire. And that's what I'm doing here. I'm just admiring.
A
You love admiring right now, huh? So you can take a little nap.
B
You're on a power, like.
A
And then. You were unprepared today.
B
No, I came prepared.
A
Let's take a shot then. And prepare yourself.
B
Only if they took a shot with us. One more shot. One more shot.
A
Come on, bro. I feel like we haven't even drank on the pot, and who knows how long.
B
Okay, can I tell you something for real?
A
When's the last time that we drank?
B
Can I confess?
A
When's the last time that we drank?
B
That's what I'm about to say. I miss it. And I feel like December should be dedicated to this. This last couple episodes. Like it. Let's send the year off, and then, guess what? New year, new me. No more drinking for a full day. You know what I mean?
A
In December, we're gonna be all in chavo.
B
Yes. And then after that, no more drinking for a full day.
A
Full day.
B
Yeah, sort of. God.
A
Give me your shot glass.
B
Or should we do the new bottles? I like the. I like the reposado one. That was.
A
Let's just kill this.
B
Okay, but where's. Where's your guys's glass? You literally started this podcast with. You're not drinking. Then you proceeded to offer the first shot, and you proceeded to offer the second shot. And I'm. And I'm here.
A
You started it.
B
Shout out to se.
A
You started it, bro.
B
Salute, guys. I appreciate you. Matt Benaki, Chess.
A
This is the last one. We only had two shots.
B
All right.
A
Big whoop.
B
Oh.
A
Like I said the other day, bro.
B
When we first started podcasting, we would get up. Faded, bro.
A
Faded.
B
I, like, would almost be like, all right, here I go. This is what it's about.
A
Getting arrested.
B
You know, what happened was people started coming on the podcast just assuming that they were just gonna drink. Most of our guests started ubering to the station thinking, like, yo, these guys are gonna get me up. And you know what? I missed that.
A
So every guest getting faded.
B
Faded.
A
Yeah, that's gonna. Faded.
B
Call the Uber.
A
No, but honestly, coming back to where I was talking about maybe, like, 30 minutes ago.
B
30 minutes ago.
A
40 minutes ago. I'm good. I'm good. Thank you.
B
Oh, I'll take one, Matt.
A
Thank you.
B
Thank you, sir.
A
There's people that black out on three white claws in a shot. And that's when I knew that I might Be drinking too much. Because when I do three white claws in a shot like that doesn't do anything to me. And that's sad for me.
B
It's in the environment. So if I'm in a party, like, area, three shots ain't gonna do to me. If I take three shots at home, I'll probably feel them. Does that make sense? Environment dictates. That was loud.
A
For real.
B
God damn, bro. It's not like a whip.
A
Damn, bro.
B
Yeah.
A
Hey, man, shut up. No, there's people. I. I know them. And it's normally, like, girls who are five foot.
B
How tall are you, Jess?
A
She's like five seven, five six.
C
I'm five nine.
B
You're five nine?
A
Yeah. You are five nine, huh?
B
What? You're not five nine. You're five nine. Wow.
A
Yeah, I didn't know that. I thought you were like, five, seven, eight.
B
Wait, how tall is.
A
Which is Joanna?
B
I wasn't sure.
C
She's five six.
B
Oh, you're tall than her.
A
Yeah.
B
Damn. You tower over her.
C
Tell that to my back, dude.
A
What do you mean, tell it to your back?
C
I always have to hunch down.
A
Oh, that was like some.
B
Did you not get that?
A
You know what's funny?
B
I'm not gonna lie. At the beginning, I was like, huh?
A
You're like. That's how you said it, right? Now, how tall are you?
B
Five eight.
A
You look like Dr. Evil now.
B
You're five'eight right? Five nine, you and just the same height, huh, man?
A
How tall are you? Five'ten I. I'm five'eleven he's five eleven.
B
Yeah. So you and Samos are the exact same.
A
We're in the exact same height.

B
Let me see.
A
We gotta come over here.
B
Yeah, get back there. Hit the wide, Matt. Future Matt, hit the wide good.
A
I'm right here. Let me see.
B
Don't be on your tippy toes. Hold on, let me see. Jess, you can have a better. Yeah, put your head straight, Matt. And you too, se. Like straight. Just look straight.
C
Take your hat off, Matt.
B
Take your hat off, Matt. Okay, now look straight, guys. Oh, my God. You guys are the. You're half inch taller.
A
No.
B
Yeah.
A
Matt's 5:11.
B
Yo, straight up, I had no Idea, dude. Now kiss.
A
Yeah. He's 5 11.
B
No, you're 5 11. Wow. You had no idea. You just think you're so. You just think you're so above everybody else.
A
That's good. That's you, mister. I'm taller than you.
B
No, that's crazy. I didn't know. You're 5 11, bro. Damn. I look at you differently.
A
You know what? You know why, right? Because he, You. He says that you don't get 511 energy.
B
He does.
A
Does or does not?
B
He does.
A
No, you only said that because he doesn't.
B
What you said, I just never noticed.
A
I just remember we were in the car driving back to my house, and you said that it might.
B
Okay, first of all, dial down. First of all, in my mind, I always thought that you were taller than him.
A
No, but, like. No, I think we're the same height.
B
Did you think that, Jess?
C
No, I think Sebastian's a little bit taller.
B
No, did you think that? Oh, like, they were like, they're. I would put you guys around the same height.
A
Yeah. My boho is a little higher than his.
B
You felt it.
A
Just slightly, though. Slightly. Because normally when boho to boho is kind of close.
B
Yeah.
A
There's like a sense of energy that you sense through your rectum. And I, I, I felt like the energy. His b. Air were right underneath mine. Yeah, yeah.
B
No, that makes sense.
A
No, it makes complete sense. People just don't like to talk about it.
C
So what kind of gift for that?
B
For buttholes.
A
For buttholes.
B
Would you ever wear the little platforms that they sell? Like the little, like, heel platforms?
A
Would you ever wear those as a man?
B
They. Yeah, people wear. The men wear them. First of all, I don't think. There's nothing wrong with that.
A
Be real, bro. Honestly, listen. Oh, there's nothing wrong with them. I don't think so either.
B
I might dig myself in a hole here, but I'm just gonna say it. All right?
A
It.
B
I'm gonna say it. Girls wear makeup to enhance themselves.
A
Sure.
B
Okay. It's so why? If a guy feels like he wants to enhance himself in his height, why is that bad? There's nothing bad.
A
It's nothing bad. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same reason why girls get chichis.
B
Correct?
A
It's to enhance their look. But nobody cares when they get cheesies, Right? But they hate on a man if he wears the.
B
I'm not hating on a man.
A
No, they. They. They.
B
You. They.
A
I'm not. They.
B
You. They.
A
Hey. A man can do whatever he wants. Yeah, they be hating on them. Wearing those soles that make them a little taller or those shoes. I didn't say that.
B
Okay, so you agree with it? You're cool with it?
A
Yeah, I'm cool, bro. As long as the homie makes me laugh. Pays for his, you know, pichello Stacos.
B
What are you showing us here, Jess?
C
You see?
A
Is that you, Jess?
B
Yes, Jess, that's you.
A
Dang, that's Tom Hanks.
B
Tom Hanks?
A
Yeah.
B
That's Tom Ford, you idiot.
A
No, that's Tom Cruise.
B
I know.
C
He. I mean, look, he's short. I'm 5 9, he's 5 7, I think.
A
Why is he looking at your butt?
B
He's totally checking you out right now.
C
No, he's not.
A
Yes. Looking at your ass at what I'm doing.
C
Yeah. So it was. So this was for the premiere of Mission Impossible.
B
Dude, this is a cool photo.
C
Thank you. It was for the premiere of Mission Impossible. And. And I was like, this is my Mission Impossible.
B
He's looking at your throne pole straight up.
C
But anyway, going back to the point, I'm five'nine and I'm wearing like little heels.
B
Heels. Yeah. Those are three inches right there.
C
And he was my height and he's.
B
Five'Seven so he was wearing. Well, look at this. You can see the boots right there. There's some. There's some thickage right there.
A
Oh, I see what you're saying.
B
There's some thickage.
A
So not only did he allow for you to take a picture with them, you're talking about him, Jess.
C
No, respectfully, Mr. T. No, respectfully.
B
And I'm not mad at that. Cuz he's known to be a short guy.
A
Oh, so he's known to be. Hell, I think he's five seven. Five seven. Oh yeah. So he is wearing some type of like that.
B
Yeah, he's like five six. He's small, dude.
A
Yeah, but he has more balls than you.
B
Yeah, dude, he does his own stunts. He's five seven. I stand corrected, dude.
A
If he's five seven, he's next to you and you're. And you're five nine.
B
So he had was, wow, two inch heels on.
A
Oh my God, you're right.
B
Two inch heels.
A
And plus those.
B
Those shoes, nine.
A
Yeah.
B
And you had two inch heels.
C
Yeah.
B
So you were like five eleven. Yeah, so he was wearing more than two inch. He was wearing like four inches.
C
Honestly, you wouldn't have been. You wouldn't have been able to tell just by looking at them. Like, they look they look, the shoes look a little thick.
A
They're thick.
B
And I'm pretty sure he's wearing like the.
A
No, but like inside. I'm pretty good with brands and I have no idea what that brand of shoe is. So like those are like those like custom brands that like, they make for people that like try to get taller. Those are Frankenstein.
B
Frankenstein's other Frankenstein.
A
That's crazy.
B
What are your thoughts on that? Just because I'm, I'm like. I stand for the people that look being, being. I don't consider myself a tall. I'm a taller person and I, and I understand the advantage of it. I get it. I get the perks of it. Okay. So if you are trying to like participate in the perks, I'm not mad at it. Especially if you're 57 as a man. It's not easy, bro.
A
Now let's ask her this. If you went on a date with a man, right? And then, and then you invite him over to the house maybe to get, you know, little snooze new. And then, and then you go, he go, you say this, my love, do you mind taking off your shoes? I just had the cleaning lady. Oh, wow. And then you see his shoes and it's a platform shoes.
B
No, he's gonna hide him, bro.
A
No, no, no. He's proud of it and I'm proud that he's proud of it.
B
I like this. Okay, but part. Continue.
A
You see that he's wearing those type of shoes because he takes them off and then he. From coming to here and now he's talking to you right here.
B
Cuz 4 inches makes a big difference.
A
Big difference. What is your honest thought? What are you going to say, Jess? Honestly. And if you just.
C
Yeah, 4 inches is a lot.
B
That's a lot. That's a lot.
C
That's.
B
How much are you willing to forgive? How many inches? No, I'm serious.
A
Yeah, that's a serious question.
B
Forgive two. Two I think is forgivable. Two is forgivable.
C
Maybe three.
B
Okay.
C
Depending on the person before.
A
Yeah.
B
The thing about 4 is that it's very noticeable. Yeah, it's almost half a foot. That's very noticeable.
A
I still though. Yeah, don't put that on.
B
Matt, please put that in there.
A
No, don't.
B
Matt. No more shots for me.
A
Yeah.
B
Can I call you that? Can I call you around? So strong. How come it doesn't apply to girls when girls wear heels? Because guys like taller women too.
A
But I don't think heels are necessarily made to make you look taller. What I don't think that's really.
B
That's not for the intention.
A
I don't think that's.
B
The elongate your legs is to create the illusion of.
A
Yeah, I think it's just sexy. I don't think it's like, oh, I'll wear heels to make me talk. I mean. Yeah, it's obviously a benefit that they have in back of their head, right?
B
Yeah. But long legs.
A
Yeah, But I don't think it's like for that.
B
For the tallness aspect, more of the hotness aspect. Is that true?
C
I think so.
B
I never thought about that. That's kind of interesting.
A
Yeah.
B
Cuz guys, we're doing it for the height advantage versus girls are doing it more for the aesthetic advantage.
A
There's more aesthetic to it.
B
Yeah. Matt, was that you?
C
The mic fell, sorry.
A
Oh, okay. So. So three inches is forgivable.
B
Okay. Would you judge a man if you see that he's wearing platforms?
C
No. More power to him.
A
Yeah, whatever, man. Honestly, there's more power to him if he just rocks his height, to be honest. Right, but why.
B
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm.
A
If I was. If I was really, really, really short, I would just rock it, bro.
B
You think so?
A
Yeah. I mean, it's easy for you to say because you're tall.
B
I know. That's what made me want.
A
What would you do if you woke up and you were 5 6?
B
I was 5 6.
A
It's not a bad thing either. Like, I'm not saying this is like.
B
It was literally my heart like increased when you said that. I was like five seconds.
A
You're up.
B
No, I don't mean that, but I would, like. That's a shocker, bro. I'm six two. So that's half. That's half of me or. No, Josh, you cut off Matt, cut that out. That's half of me.
A
If you woke up and you're five six.
B
Damn. And I'm just.
A
It's okay.
B
Yeah.
A
So.
B
Yeah. No, it's not okay. That's where you're wrong.
A
But you know how many people that.
B
Are 56 and that are like grown men? It's a lot of people. It's a lot. I get it. No, not a lot of men are 5 6, bro. Not a lot of girl. No. Check the stats on how Many men are 56 in the U. S. That's not a lot. It's like 20.
A
I don't know, bro.
B
It's not a lot, dude. Not a lot, dude.
A
I can't wait for the day that you call me. So you're not gonna believe what happened to me. What? Dude, I'm at the hospital. Why? A bunch of five, six flutes jump me right now and they hit you? Yeah.
B
What's the percentage?
C
There isn't much information about how many men in the US Are five six, six.
B
Right.
C
But the average height for a man in the U.S. is 5:9.
B
Right. So the majority of people in the U.S. are 5:9. The average. I'm sorry, the average. Most men that you talk to are going to be around 5 9.
A
Let me ask you this.
B
I'm not mad. At that height. That much.
A
That much. If you woke up and you're a fine eye. What's up? That's 80% of your friends.
B
She's five'nine okay, look, can I tell you something?
A
80 of your friends.
B
You know, I actually have a good answer for this. So I've been on social media since 2010. Every time people have met me, they've always said, you are way taller than I thought you were. Meaning that they thought I was just as talented, funny. However they viewed me even in this height that they thought I was, that was below the height that I am, therefore I'm still me.
A
No, yeah, I agree. I. I'm here for the. I'm the president of the five nine guys.
B
I don't know how to answer that, man. Okay. It's not my reality.
A
I just wish one day you'll. You. You wake up up and you're 5 11.
B
Why? Why would you ever wish such horrible things on me?
A
All right, one thing. You're. You're the type of guy that when you're going to be 80 years old, you start to shrink.
B
I will. I probably will. I'll probably be 6 you up and it's gonna suck.
A
I'm gonna you up as an old guy. I'm gonna you up. You see old ass dudes each other up. You got anything else to say on this gift crap, my boy?
B
No, I don't have anything else.
A
You know what's also really cool is if you're in a serious relationship and you guys been with each other for such a long time, One of the really cool gifts that you can give your partner, your wife, your fiance that you've been with for years and years and years, even your family or your mom and your dad is a staycation.

Son of a. I got you a Christmas gift and you forgot to get me a Christmas gift. So you made up for it and went to go buy me a Christmas gift after I gave you a Christmas gift, thinking, holy. I forgot to give my co. Host of the number one Latino podcast.
A
What did I. What did I get you?
B
You got me a bunch of. Of, you know, me a bunch of. Because I got.
A
Oh, so you thought I forgot.
B
You did.
A
I didn't.
B
How much you want to bet I will bet my life you forgot to give me a gift. Yes, you did.
A
You only think that because you've been traumatized your whole life.
B
No, listen.
A
And nobody ever got you gifts.
B
Maybe you're right.
A
So when somebody doesn't give you a gift.
B
So I'm wrong.
A
The day that you gave me a gift.
B
So am I wrong?
A
You're wrong. Ask Karen.
B
Am I super wrong.
A
I strategically bought all your Gifts.
B
So.
A
Because you said no.
B
No, no.
A
So did they talk about when I gave you all your office supplies?
B
Yes.
A
That you still haven't used.
B
I abused them. Most of them. All. None of them? No, I have used them. Especially the radio. You got me that cool radio.
A
I didn't forget.
B
Yes, you did. You know how I know?
A
And plus all of that was for Christmas and your birthday.
B
Well, yeah, because my birthday's two days after Christmas.
A
Well, who the decided to do that?
B
I have no idea.
A
Okay? It's not my fault. I have a friend that his Christmas and birthday and he thinks he's all eyes on me.
B
I got you a badass gift last year and I shocked your.
A
And I use it all the time. It's not my fault that you. I. I have a lot. I. I have a lot of family, a lot of siblings to think about. And you're not the first person I think about to give a give.
B
And so you admit it?
A
No. No, I didn't forget. I didn't forget.
B
So you admit it.
A
I didn't forget. Let's just say you weren't at the top of my list that year.
B
Were you? Top of mind?
A
Well, yeah. Well, I'm the only thing you have.
B
Well, guess what? Now you're dropping.
A
Okay, that's fine. I don't give a look. Yeah, you do give a look. I gotta go to these people and I gotta go to you. And then you. You land on Christmas and basically right after Christmas. So sorry, your gift wasn't. And you know what?
B
Maybe next time you're gonna get another co host. Why don't you check their birthdays?
A
I do. December 27th.
B
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying like the next one.
A
When's my birthday?
B
Doesn't matter.
A
When's my birthday?
B
Doesn't matter.
A
When's my birthday?
B
It's in March.
A
It's not.
B
It's in May.
A
You're not invited to my birthday party.
B
Your birthday's in May.
A
And I got you great gifts.
B
You got me one good gift. The Reese's Peanut Butter cups. That.
A
And I gave you a hat that says YP that you never wear. Don't think I ever think on this.
B
I've wore it on the episode.
A
You never wear the hat that says YP on it. Never. You've never even worn on this episode. Find that episode and I'll give you a rack.
B
Swear to God. Swear to Gosh, if I bring that hat next episode, you will sell me a thousand dollars.
A
No, I'm Saying you just said that you wore that hat on an episode. Oh, show me the episode where you wore the hat. It was like a la hat and it put YP that I had to be at lids. You know why I didn't give you your gift on time? Because I was at lit for the whole day waiting for that embroidery to hit.
B
Dude, you're so.
A
You're always. But you're over here complaining.
B
You're such a good guess.
A
Hey, you're over here complaining that didn't get you a fucking gift. When I give you multiple gifts.
B
Listen, okay, this is where I'm gonna rest my case.
A
Yp, Listen, show me the video where you wore the hat. Will never. I'll use it to wipe your ass.
B
I know exactly what episode it is, okay? You're only a thousand dollars and I'm gonna hold you. I'll take you to court, motherfucker. I swear to God.
A
Take you to court.
B
Small claims.
A
Okay?
B
I know exactly where to go. Okay. The day I brought you your gift to your house and I surprised you.
A
Yeah. I said, yours is on the way.
B
What the does that mean?
A
It means.
B
It means that you don't have a gift, Freddy.
A
No, everyone knows that. No, it means thank you so much. I didn't know you were coming today. First of all, he came to my house, surprisingly, and I said, okay, cool. Your gift is on the way. Meaning some gifts. I went in store to go get them, and the other gifts were online gifts that I'm waiting on to give you your basket. Basket of gifts, ass wipe. I'll never give you a basket of gifts. You only get one gift.
B
One. No, you can't do that.
A
Yeah, well, you just it up.
B
No, you can't do that.
A
Next time I'll give you three Dobermans and see how you like that gift picking up all month long.
B
If you give me one gift, I swear to God, I'll be pissed.
A
Well, you just it up because you're ungrateful and you're traumatized.
B
There is.
A
You have trauma.
B
There is two, three, four. Four people in my life that are not allowed to get me one gift, and you fall into that. 4.
A
Well, say sorry then.
B
No, I'm not gonna say for what?
A
Because you thought that I didn't give you a gift.
B
I didn't say you didn't give me a gift. I said you forgot.
A
I didn't though.
B
But you had admitted that I'm at the bottom of the barrel.
A
No, I said if you thought that, it must have been because I have this Much people in my life and this much people in my life that I have to give gifts to. And just because I wanted your gift to be in a basket and you wanted it when you wanted it is such, it's such Christmas boy. Birthday vibes that you give.
B
Maybe I'm a little traumatized, bro.
A
If your birthday lands on Christmas, basically, that's how you act like you. That's how you act, like this entitled little brat.
B
Like I said, I have four people and they better deliver. Okay.
A
No.
B
I hold you to a high standard, and I do.
A
I gave you a basket of gifts.
B
Two weeks too late.
A
Thoughtful ass gift two weeks too late. That's. You know why I gave it after? Because you said you gave me my gift. And the only reason why you gave my guess because you were gonna go somewhere. No, it wasn't like, oh, I'm just stopped by because I leave somewhere. And then I was like, okay, when you come back, I'll give you your basket of gifts. Not just one, not just two. It was at least four or five gifts that I gave this man. But it's okay. Complain about it. Typical Christmas landing birthday boy. It's okay. You just up.
B
Did my trauma just leak?
A
Yeah.
B
Does my mom. Every year.
A
He literally complained that I didn't give him a gift on the 23rd of December.
B
It wasn't the 23rd. It was not the 23rd.
A
It was like this 22nd. You didn't give me a gift. It ain't Christmas yet.
B
You're Gonna give me two though, right?
A
And then he comes back on the 27th wanting another one. God damn.
B
You know where I will give you credit? When we had my birthday in Vegas, you gave the best speech. And that. That was the best gift. Good. Your words, man.
A
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for rebuttaling and making me feel like I am a good friend. Because I am. Remember, I am the connector. I am the connector. It should have named me Hector the Connector.
B
Let's take one more shot.
A
Okay.
B
Knew it. No, no, no.
A
Let's take another shot. Come on, please. No, no, please.
B
Fine.

A
She wants a party.
B
She wants to party.
C
I'm on an empty stomach.
B
I do. Me too.
A
Yeah, drinking on an empty stomach is top.
B
Yo, let me ask you a serious question. How weird is it walking around the studio with no headphones?
A
Especially live?
B
Yeah. Like, I, I, I, I know what that feels like.
A
Feels illegal.
B
It feels so awkward.
A
It feels illegal.
B
Which is why I wanted them to have headphones. Cuz I'm like, they're not in here with us.
A
They're not even wearing the headphones. What the.
B
Dude, do they hurt your ears? Oh, no way.
A
Wow.
B
All right, I'll do one more shot.
A
And then December 2nd. Merch.
B
Yeah.
A
And then. Salud.
B
Tast. Salute. 30% offside wide.
A
What day does it start? Right?
B
Started a week ago. Started a week ago.
A
About a week ago.
B
But you have a whole week. Week. If you're still listening right now, I'm probably gonna get in trouble by taste a new team. Because I shouldn't say this, but there is something super, unbelievably special happening on the 25th. It's not more of a discount, so don't think that. But something really cool is happening. Not the 25th, sorry, the black Friday. That's what I meant. So stay tuned. 30 off happening site wide. That's gonna be happening for a minute, so enjoy.
A
There's something else on the 25th of December.
B
It's not 25th. December. I up my dates. The 25th. This. Today's the 25th. Yeah, this Friday for Black Friday.
A
Something else.
B
Yes. Something really.
A
You can't say anything. Come on. It's a plate. Exclusive. Say something. You already made seven. Like a.
B
No, I can't. I can't, bro. I can't. I can't. I really can't. I'll tell you after why I can't say it. But it's cool. But it's not like a bigger sale. The 30 off is this.
A
Yeah, that's the biggest something else.
B
But it's really cool. It's like really cool.
A
Yeah. Also I want to do. We talked about it. But we're also going to do like a big, big giveaway.
B
Yeah. What the. We should do it for the holidays.
A
Yeah, for. For Christmas.
B
Let's do it right now. How about this? We tried. We did.
A
No, because. Let's think about it.
B
I already have an idea.
A
Well, you gotta run it through me first.
B
No, I know. Okay. But we did this last year.
A
Okay. What?
B
And now we have. Jess. You could really help us do it. All right, guys, so we. We're gonna. We're gonna start the Christmas gifts early.
A
Yeah.
B
From Sebas and Josh.
A
And the only reason why we're doing this. Because we're all right now.
B
That's coming from here.
A
Cheers. Cheers. Before we say what we're gonna do. And more.
B
We've done this before. Now we have Assistance. Who's gonna help us make this happen? And every single week we're going to be, you know, somebody's multiple people are going to be receiving gifts. If you comment on the video, you have a chance to win a hundred dollar gift card. And we're going to be picking five people from every single episode starting now. Now listen, all right, if you're deep in the episode, if you're listening right now, you're in it.
A
You're in.
B
And I, I'm. First of all, thank you for listening dead ass. And just being here. We appreciate you. So we want you to comment something. And, and we can't make it like, where it's obvious where other people will catch on because then those people are cheating. You can't let those cheaters get in there. So we got to make it like, cater to just the people who are here right now. Yeah. So what can it be? We're thinking about this on the go. Five people, $100 gift card every single week starting now till the end of the year, honestly. Starting to, let's go all the way till January, the first week of January.
A
Okay, so everybody in each video receives 500 bucks. Not everybody, but one person. One person. Every video, five people.
B
Every video get a hundred dollars.
A
Five people, every video get 100 bucks. Okay, I'm with it.
B
That's sick.
A
Yeah, super sick.
B
But for the people who are tapped in right now, every video will have a different thing that we pick from. This one is gatored to the people who are listening this deep into the episode. People who comment first, this code or word or something. Yes, the, the first five people who come and we can look it up on YouTube. It's pretty easy. The first five people who comment the phrase or word.
A
Do I have to say the word?
B
Yes, because the first five people who write it, that means that the first five people who heard it this deep will. Are going to get it automatically.
A
It won't change. Oh, every episode is different. Okay.
B
And for the guests that we bring in, we'll have have them pick what is it that they have to do.
A
The first five people, it always has.
B
To be at the end. By the way, the first five people.
A
Who answered this question correctly that I'm about to give. It's a trivia question. I'm not gonna say it because then I give out the answer. Then I give out the answer. But the first five people that answer this is gonna win, right? So five people that answer this question.
B
That I'm about to only answer the question, don't make it obvious because I don't want other people to catch on to this if they're listening this deep.
A
Yeah, or just say the answer.
B
Yes, exactly. Just comment the answer.
A
Just. And then people are like, what the. Why did you say that for? Well, I just want 500. 100 bucks.
B
Or don't say that.
A
Or no, just. Just to the answer that's in. Then we'll know what's up. So the first five people that answer this correctly wins a hundred dollars. 100 bucks. 100 bucks. But obviously. And. And then this too. 100 bucks. But, like, also add your email.
B
No, no, we'll. We'll reach out.
A
But how, though?
B
We'll ask them.
C
I'll figure it out.
A
No, but like, some people on YouTube, they. Their shit's private.
B
And Team Bro Jess will help.
A
Okay. Okay. No, honestly, put your phone number, your Social Security.
B
Just put your IG. Comment the answer with your IG.
A
That's good. @ least we have that.
B
Or no, is that, like, too obvious?
C
I feel like we can respond with the LP account.
A
We can say to a YouTube channel.
C
To a YouTube comment.
B
Yeah, you can. And we'll just say, like, how can we contact you?
A
Yeah, but, like, other people might see that comment because it's public to a lot of people.
B
Privacy. He's trying to create privacy.
A
Because if we say, hey, you want.
B
Just put your ad. Just your ad. Ig.
A
Yeah, just put your ad. Ig. That's all we're willing with the comment at.
B
Ig.
A
Yeah. And you gotta try low key and try to be public with the ig.
B
No, it doesn't matter.
A
It doesn't matter.
B
No, it doesn't matter.
A
No, because you could send a message through private.
C
Just make sure we can send you.
B
A message just if you're obviously commenting. No, we might message you.
A
Okay.
B
When Sevas and I were at the old studio, we dressed up as two characters. What were the first two characters we ever dressed up as? On La Platica.
A
Oh, that's a good one. So I like that.
B
Yeah.
A
So I don't even know the answer.
B
I don't either. I'll be real, too.
A
I have, like, three answers.
B
I have, like, three answers too, but that's up to them to figure that out, not on me. You know what I mean?
A
Okay, cool.
B
But there are three. There were. And there was one that was first.
A
Yeah, let's do that. Let's end it.
B
So the first. The first outfits that we ever. First characters that we ever put on 100.
A
All right, let's Just send the show now.
B
Okay, so comment that and then.
A
Yeah, let's take a shot.
B
We just did.
A
We did.
B
I think so.
A
Now you're tripping.
C
We did it.
B
I really don't remember if we did. No, we did, because we took that.
A
No, no, I remember giving it to you, but you never took it.
B
All right, so we just figured out exactly what the first outfits we wore for an episode.
A
Yeah, we know.
B
Yeah, together.
A
Okay, so everything should be LA related.
B
It should be all about.
A
So reptar, huh?
B
Yeah, we'll just cut that out. That didn't even exist.
A
Just people literally thought I had something right now.
B
No, that was good.
A
But that's literally my relationship with you is. Is. Is you telling me to do something and then me coming up with something that I'm proud of and you shutting it down.
B
That's not entirely true.
A
75.
B
It's like 50.
A
Remember, I'm the connector.
B
No, that was good. I'm just trying to make it on brand full.
A
No, I agree.
B
We got merch coming out.
A
Because you're right. People can just.
B
December 2nd.
A
People can just Google it.
B
Now they got it either. It would be super sick if they didn't even have to go back. And look, they just knew, like, oh, 100 bucks.
