B
I would call it Gavin with the gals. Yeah. Or you call it Good and Joey Camasta and.
A
Yeah. Well, after you came on the toast and Joey Commander came on the toast, there's a lot of fanfare for you and Joey to do some sort of like cooking show or some project.
B
I love Mr. Kama. Joey is not only just like, he's so amazing, but he's also so underappreciated. And I'm very thankful to you for platforming him because Joey deserves the world.

And all I have to say is, Dave Portnoy, you let a real one go.
A
Well, he didn't let Joey go. Joey left.
B
Dave Portnoy. You didn't pony up enough cash to keep a real one.
A
Joey's. I agree. Such a star. I love having him on the toast because I agree platforming him is, like, kind of my life's mission. He's so funny.
B
He's so funny. He's fantastic. And me and Joey have cooked together before, so if you guys haven't seen that, just, like, scroll deep in my Instagram and look for a gorgeous.
A
People aren't asking you and Joey to cook together. They want, like, a show, like a cooking podcast, something. Would it be called gabbing with the gals?
B
Probably not.
A
Grilling with the gals.
B
Grilling with the gals is good because.
A
Like, you are trans and so is Joey. So, like, you have to do something with the gals.
B
We are trans.
A
Like, Joey has said he has T scars.
B
We are trans.
A
He had top surgery. And, like, you're always dressing like a woman.
B
I am, I am. I'm a cross dresser. I've been cross dressing since I was a young man. 13 years old.
A
Oh, that's true.
B
My mom sent us that photo. That also, like, gave us both a jump scare.
A
Ben found this. Like, Ben's mom found these, like, old pictures and it was Ben. It was either like Purim or Halloween from when you were what, 13? 13. Dressed as a woman. The thing is, you have passions.
B
The thing is, I'm gonna dress like a woman.
A
We know.
B
One, it's funny. Two, it's freeing. And three, oh, wow.
A
Freeing.
B
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
A
I thought we were joking, but you're, like, being weirdly serious.
B
It's funny. It's freeing. That said, the long hair, My God, it's so hot and itchy.
A
I know.
B
Terrible. Anything on my face, the makeup that you do.
A
Horrible. Feels you don't really have what it takes to be a woman.
B
I only have what it takes to be a 70 year old Irish woman.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, that is really who I want to be. And until I can be that, I'm not really going to be myself.
A
Now, for anyone who's new here, Ben is my Husband. He's the host of the Good Guys podcast. Founder and CEO of Spritz Society.com. chef to the stars. What else are you.
B
That was pretty good. Yeah.
A
And he's one of my favorite co hosts. I'm so glad you're here. We tailored the stories a little bit today to things that you. Maybe I wouldn't normally choose, but, you know, you have a wide array of interests, and I wanted you to be intrigued. Ben and I did watch Dancing with the Stars last night.
B
We did. I'm an avid watcher.
A
We were obviously, like, a little bit distracted because just, like, the horrible news. Oh, and we're in Florida, by the way. I don't know if I said that. I don't know if you guys can tell from the studio and. Never been more happy to not be in New York than we were last night.
B
Totally.
A
So the second half of Dancing with the Stars, that kind of fell to the back burner because we were busy watching the news.
B
Talking to your mic.
C
You're.
B
You're, like, talking over your mic. So I don't know, like, the toasters. Like, I don't. I don't know if, like, your audio comes out of your neck, but, like, this is literally how you were talking.
A
Thank you, by the way.
B
And so just. I would highly recommend talking into your mic.
A
I'm not gonna be disgusting like you. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it because I care about the audio quality of this show.
B
Very good.
A
Thank you so much. And by the way, do let me know if it happens again. I would appreciate the feedback.
B
This was very. Like, those cancer commercials.
A
No, the smoking commercials.
B
Nothing will ever be the same again.
A
It's actually not funny.
B
No, those were not funny. And they scared me straight. No, they didn't.
A
No. Because I had a severe vape addiction. Let's talk about that.
B
Okay.
A
It has been almost two years.
B
I was going to say credit to you for going cold turkey.
A
Thank you.
B
Nobody, really. I think that you are the only person in the world that was addicted to a vape one day said, I don't want to smoke that vape anymore, and just didn't.
A
Well, it wasn't that easy, I'll say that.
B
But also, you made it look easy.
A
Let's talk about the day I quit the vape. Do you remember we were in Utah. It was January 1st. Right. And we went out for lunch. Do you remember that at all?
B
Oh. Oh, my God. You were so mean.
A
Yeah, I was in, like, it really makes you irritable. I will say it only Lasted a few days, but that day one where I was just really itching for it and couldn't take it, and I literally throw them all away. I was in a really foul mood.
B
You had borderline Tourette's. It was like we were just like, having a conversation. You just be like, fuck you. Yeah. How's your eyes?
A
Fucking asshole.
B
Fat fuck.
A
Fuck you. Fuck you.
B
And it's like, okay, like, I get it, I get it, I get it. I'm joking. That's exactly. Yeah. No, it was so weird. It was just like, it's beautiful out. It's snowing. But you'd be like, oh, my God, the snow is falling.
A
Fat fuck.
B
Like, I'm like, no, I didn't need that 100. Yeah, it was bad.
A
But I will say it only lasted, like, two days.
B
Yeah.
A
And we, like, we went out to lunch and just like, I was just insatiable and I ate a lot. Like, you would just. It was horrible.
B
It was a horrible day.
A
It was a horrible day.
B
But we have cleansed.
A
We've cleansed and we've moved past it. And how does it feel to not have a wife who's a vapor anymore? I feel like we don't talk enough. And I've recently been bringing it up because now that I'm not pregnant, like, I can vape, but I choose not to. And I just feel like I actually don't give myself enough credit for quitting the vape.
B
Like, no. Kudos to you.
A
Thank you.
B
I'm happy that you don't do it anymore. For rupee's sake, of course.
A
But, like, also for the sake of, you know, my fellow peers.
B
Sure.
A
My lungs.
B
Sure.
A
I'm not getting in trouble at restaurants anymore.
B
No. But, like, that's like, restaurants need to chill.
A
Oh, my God, I need to chill. I completely agree to chill.
B
It's so not a big deal.
A
I completely agree.
B
It's not a big deal.
A
I completely agree.
B
That's it.
A
I completely agree.
B
Focus on things that matter.
A
I completely agree.
B
Focus on things that matter.
A
I completely agree.
B
Everybody's crashing. All these airlines. There's so many problems. You're worried about my vape?
A
I completely fucking agree.
B
It literally smells like shit everywhere. Everywhere. Like, people. People need to stop farting on planes. Like, non stop. Do you agree? Like, people are just, like, shitting themselves on planes. Also, people need to stop reclining on planes.
A
Okay, I agree. And that's, like, a controversial take because I talk to Brian about it all the time. I don't believe in reclining on planes. I think it's, like, the most evil thing you can do.
B
You absolutely can't. Unless you and the person in front of you have a mutual agreement that you're both going to recline.
A
No, but it's a domino effect because you can agree with the person in front of you. But what about the person in front of them?
B
There actually needs to be a reclining row. That's what it is.
A
No, there needs to be an airline for recliners.
B
Sorry, not row. There needs to be a reclining column. Rows. Columns.
A
Column. Yeah. Okay. Excel spreadsheet.
B
So rows. Column A is the reclining row. Would you agree the windows are recliners?
A
No. The thing is, it's just a different breed of human being, and you should be on different airlines.
B
Yeah.
A
I would go as far to say, like, you should be in different countries.
B
Sure, sure. Reclining airline.
A
Recliningairline.com.
B
I love it. I'll sign up. Actually, I won't, because I don't like to recline.
A
What's going on with the good guys? Do you guys hear, like, all the. We talk about you or you just, like, toot us out?
B
I tune you out.
A
Does Josh know?
B
Yeah, definitely.
A
And Josh knows. Like, it's a joke, right?
B
Yeah, for sure.
A
Okay.
B
Yeah, for sure. No, but it's always apparent when, like, somebody comes up to us in the street and is like, oh, my God, I'm such a fan of the good guys. And you, like, give them a look like you just, like, want to throw them.
A
But it's like a joke with us and the listeners, too. Like, they come up and they're like, I'm a toaster. And I'm also a moron. Sorry, Turdy. Like, yeah, it's like this fun thing.
B
We'Re all doing, but, like, by the way, it's great. We're joking and you're platforming.
A
We're platforming.
B
Right. Or what? Like, you can joke and be mean. That said, you're still talking about us, and let me tell you. Okay.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, I thought you had heartburn or something. Oh, how dramatic are you?
A
I was gonna say something, and I.
B
Like to grow up. Like, it was the most dramatic thing I've ever seen.
A
I don't even remember what I was gonna say now, but.
B
Sorry, guys is a wonderful podcast.

B
We're doing great.
A
You've had Some pretty big guests recently. David Dobrik.
B
We have John Stamos.
A
Oh.
B
His episode made some headlines.
A
Well, of course. With the Lori Loughlin of it all. And I'm glad somebody came and defended our girl. But I was talking more about Jen Affleck.
B
Yes. Jen Affleck. Did I talk. Oh, yes, we did. During the John Stamos episode.
A
Yeah. And she posted about it. Did you see?
B
She did.
A
Yes. She posted that like John's. Because John called her cute.
B
Yeah.
A
And you guys, for. Why were you guys talking about Dancing with the Stars?
B
Because it's, like, current and happening.
A
Oh, so you were doing, like, Hot Topics with Johnston.
B
That's an excellent question. I have no idea why we were talking about that. And John Stame.
A
Yeah. Him and I are, like, on a nickname basis ever since he posted me on his Instagram.
B
Got it. Well, he would love to come on the toast. I'm just saying.
A
Well, when I was in LA and I was going to be doing maternity leave there, which. Can we talk about how glad we are not to be there? I was definitely going to have John Stame.

So that's why I call him staying bts.
B
What a great guy.
A
You love him.
B
Yeah.
A
What's he like in person?
B
Just, like, nice, cool.
A
Do you have any, like, more interesting words than nice and cool?
B
No. Because, like, sometimes these, like, celebrities are so narcissistic and, like, you meet them and you're like, oh, I can't wait to get away from you.
A
They're awful. Yeah.
B
John is not that. John was actually, like, humble and cool, but super talented.
A
Yeah.
B
He does such a wide array of things.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, he, like, he told this story. What's Olaf's name?
A
Josh Gad.
B
Josh Gad couldn't perform in Jesus Christ Superstar. Is that the name of the show?
A
Do you know the name of anything?
B
No, I don't. Big show. Okay. Huge show. And they called John. And on Broadway. It wasn't on Broadway. It was somewhere else.
A
Okay.
B

A
Oh, my God. Cynthia Erivo.
B
Thank you. And with. I think that's all the people that I know that are in it. And they called him. They're like, olaf dropped out. We need you, John. 24 hours noticed he didn't know any of the lines to anything. He didn't know any of the words to the songs. Learned it performed. Crush it.
A
Wow.
B
On, like, a huge stage with Cynthia. Imagine singing with Cynthia Arrivo when you don't even know the lyrics. If I close my eyes I wouldn't have even known it was you, I would have thought it was Symphony.
A
Symphony.
B
It's a symphony.
A
No. Oh, can you do the Defying Gravity run? Let's hear it.
B
What's a run? Is that, like. Is that. Is that, like, when I have too much French onion soup?
A
No, a run in vocal. I know you're not, like, a singer like me, so a vocal run is like, when you do, like, you know, like a run. So the Defying Gravity run is like, let me just say and cough again on the podcast, and you will find out what a boot up your ass feels like. Okay, A boot. I'm wearing a loafer. Okay. Okay. Ready? Ben Loki actually has, like, a decent voice. You would never know because he's married. Yes. Okay, let's hear it.
B
What was that face you made?
A
And what was it? The shoulder. You looked like a fish. He looked like a fish. Stop it.
B
Sorry.
A
You looked like a fish, by the way. Like, you were like this. Ben. You were literally like. I'm not gonna lie. I did just get the egg.
B
Was it good?
A
Oh, no, sorry, I forgot to say.
B
That it was bad. It was bad.
A
Yeah.
B
The ick is such an interesting thing to get.
A
What's your favorite song from Wicked? Oh, when we do have some Wicked news, which would be a good segue.
B
Wicked. Good news. My favorite song from Wicked is probably Defying Gravity Basic. He's so basic.
A
All right.
B
I literally hate it by the. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
A
Oh, God, here we go. Okay.
B
Fans don't like song.
A
I don't disagree.
B
Like, oh, Taylor Swift's best song is one that nobody's ever heard of. No, actually, well, it is.
A
It's called Peace.
B
But, yeah, actually, it's not, because otherwise, more people would have heard it and the streams would be higher.
A
Why don't you talk into the microphone and you say that? Like, why is it so far away there? Okay. Move it closer. Okay. If you're having, like, a throat issue, do you maybe want to leave the room? I'll do the ads. Like, this is really inappropriate.
B
I just have a small amount of post nasal drip from the plane. Okay. Also, sure.
A
Blame the plane.
B
Do you know we have the good guys Has a new sponsor, Zyzol.

A
Yeah. And you do the ad reads on good guys. Yeah.
B
You need me to do your reads?
A
No, I don't.
B
I do a strong read.
A
I don't think the sponsors would appreciate, like, Some rogue random cross dresser coming in.
B
You do a strong read.
A
You do. Actually, I have the honor, like, the great honor of you do your ad reads at home.
B
Yeah.
A
On the Bluetooth microphones. And I have the great honor. You, like, scream when you do the ads.
B
Of course. I get very into it.
A
This episode of the Good Guys. I, like, know all your sponsors.
C
Who?
A
I don't want to say them because I'm loyal to my sponsors. I'm not gonna be, like, giving free shout outs to, like, rogue brands that don't sponsor my podcast. Definitely.
B
Yeah. Cool.
A
So without further ado.
B
You.
A
Okay. It's time for the best side stories that you need to know.
B
So hot in here.
A
I'm actually not that hot.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah, I'm kidding.
B
Pet peeves.
A
I agree.
B
Is there anything more annoying?
A
Oh, no, I completely agree.
B
Full of pet peeves.
A
I completely agree.
B
I'm hot. I'm not. Okay, so what do we do about it?

I can tell anytime. And also wild grain.

Under 25 minutes.

And it's such a pain in the ass. Like, I didn't stop. Let's talk about how you gave up my sourdough journey.

No. So here's what happened. We went to Los Angele Angeles, and I just.
A
You didn't Bring your starter with you.
B
No, I left it in the fridge to die. I don't know if it's dead because I look at it and it's still. It's still there.
A
No, you can feed it.
B
So then I think it's okay. So then it's fine.
A
Yeah, but you just haven't made in like a month.
B
I haven't made it in a while. But also, we were in LA for a while.
A
We moved apartments.
B
We moved apartments. And you know, the sourdough journey is one that really can only be done when your life is settled. Okay. When your life is.
A
Oh. Do you feel unsettled?
B
I. I feel like we've been moving around a lot.
A
We have. Florida, Louisiana, New apartment. Yeah.
B
Moving around a lot. So once we feel sett settled again, I will return to baking. My soul will return to the oven.
A
Okay.
B
Just like my ancestors. Too far.
A
Yes. Not funny.
B
Okay.
A
Okay. First up, we have Sexiest Man Alive. There's been a lot of hoopla about who the Sexiest Man Alive is. They're like, it is. Even though. Let's talk about how last year they did Sexiest Podcaster and they gave it to Josh and iu.
B
No, but like, we're. We're a duo. Just give it to both.
A
It's so true. It was like. It was intentional.
B
Right?
A
It felt anti Semitic. Even though Josh is Jewish.
B
Totally.
A
Well, the Sexiest man of the Year is Jonathan Bailey.
B
No.
A
I told Ben who that was. He said, who is that? And now you know. It's Fierro.
B
I know.
A
Dancing through life.
B
I like Pharaoh.
A
Me too. He's extremely handsome. He's also from Bridgerton. I think this is a great selection. I often have a lot to say about who they choose. Like, I think they're ugly or random. This is perfect. It also always has to be, like, chosen with someone in conjunction with them doing press.
B
Yeah.
A
He's obviously getting ready for The Wicked Part 2, which comes out next week. Oh, we should see it while we're here.
B
I would love to. Is he British? Like, does he have an accent?
A
Yeah, yeah, he has an accent.
B
Cool.
A
The COVID is hot. Like he's in water. It's a nice photo.
B
He's a good looking guy.
A
Yeah. You know you like him.
B
I think that, like, he's got, like a little bit of receding going on over here.
A
Ben, you're one to talk.
B
I gotta introduce him to what's his name, Dr. Diamond.
A
Oh, did you talk. Do you had Ben had like fancy plastic surgeon.
B
I'm pretty in with the doctors with.
A
Dr. Diamond on his podcast.
B
Dr. Diamond. The only doctor that we haven't been able to get. Please, if anybody is listening from TLC, Dr. Nazardin.
A
All I want, you have to get Dr. Nazar.
B
Dr. Nazardence, that I can talk about my 600 pound life.
A
Yep.
B
2,000 pound sisters. And like mine, Josh's dreams. 2,000 pound sisters on.
A
That's what you should dress up for Halloween.
B
2000 pound sisters.
A
You also need to get Dr. Steve Levine on your podcast because you. Your episodes with Terry Dubrow are some of my favorite. Mostly because Terry's like so pro ozempic and he's always talking about plastic surgery and stuff. I love him and he's just like funny reality star. But you do need to get Dr. Steve Levine on your show. Do you know who that is?
B
I don't know who that is.
A
So he's like the doctor of the moment right now. I don't know if you saw like a couple of celebrities have come out with brand new faces and they look insanely amazing. Kris Jenner.
B
Yes.
A
Lindsay Lohan.
B
Yes.
A
Oh, it turns out.
B
Oh, Mr. Levine.
A
They all went to the same doctor and they've all been like really open about it. And it's Dr. Sue Levine now. I hear Dr. Sue Levine has like a years long waitlist now. It's a quarter of a million dollars for a facelift. Yeah. So it would be amazing if you get them on the podcast maybe just because like then I could get like, you know, a facelift for free or something.
B
Yeah, yeah. Well, any of the doctors that I've worked with would love to work with you, but you don't need any work.
A
Thank you.
B
That's the right answer woman I've ever seen.
A
And also speaking of faceless and sexiest men, I don't know if we haven't spoken about this on the toast, but Bradley Cooper has a new face.
B
I've seen that. And it's bad.
A
Yeah, it's crazy. We're always talking about like botched women. Like let's talk about the botched man. Bradley Cooper looks nuts. And he was at one point like the. I'm sure he's been people's sexiest man. He is arguably like the most good looking man in the last, you know, 20 years. He's like a Brad Pitt, George Clooney.
B
Level funny that I never.
A
He looks terrible.
B
That that's what it was because I've looked at him and I'm like, huh, you don't look the same.
A
No, he, he had his face pulled back and it doesn't look good. He looks like a. Like an old woman.
B
It looks horrible.
A
It looks horrible.
B
Sorry, Mr. Coop, but I think this.
A
Is a great choice for. And I feel like every year, whoever they choose is, like, so divisive and everyone's always, like, clouding. I feel like everybody likes this. I have no notes.
B
No. Who doesn't like Wicked? Picking somebody from Wicked was a layup.
A
Okay. It's so true. And, like, he was really popular before because he was in Bridgerton and he was like the sexy lead and like, there's I burn for you. And, you know, it would not be far enough. Like, he has a lot of, like, famous.
B
Wish I saw that show. You didn't know you watched it without me.
A
Well, I'm sorry.
B
Like, you so many good ones without me. The only one.
A
You try being home, you're always golfing or going to the Nick game. Like, sorry, I have to do something.
B
You're literally watching Bridgerton at noon on a Wednesday. Like, what do you want from me?
A
It's my job.
B
Yeah. Also I am watching a show that you're not watching and you're missing out.
A
Wait, we also need to talk about.
B
Wayward, the best show ever.
A
Ben and I just finished Wayward Season 1 on Netflix. You probably haven't heard of it. It was not popular. Like, I literally. We stumbled upon it stars Toni Collette, Queen. And it's about. It's like a cult show. It's amazing.
B
Amazing show. That said, I'm watching Severance alone, and let me tell you, this show severed my brain.
A
Ben started Severance on the plane and he comes home and he's like, have you heard of this, like, random, like, indie little show called Severance?
B
I did not say that.
A
Yeah, you did. And he keeps calling it his plane show, which is confusing people because people think it's like, lost. Like a show without a plane.
B
It is my plane show. Yeah, exactly.
A
Yeah.
B
I'll watch it on United. And even though, like, I really shouldn't be flying United, like, Ben had a trick. Sorry, Mic down. Sorry. She messed with her mic.
A
Ben had a triggering. Not a triggering, but like a really weird experience on a United flight. Do you want to tell that story?
B
Yeah, we. I landed from Los Angeles.
A
Oh, yeah. We flew home separately.
B
We flew home separately. And all of a sudden it was a beautiful flight.
A
Pargee.
B
I watched my Severance. I had a great time, except the guy next to me was in a lay flat the entire time and I couldn't go to the bathroom.
A
Oh. Cause he had his legs out the whole time.
B
He had his legs rat the whole time. But other than that, it was really a wonderful flight. And all of a sudden, we land, and the stewardess comes on, and she says, hello, everybody. Welcome to New York. You never would have known it, but two female pilots flew this plane. Isn't that amazing? What are you nuts?
A
Like, why do you think it's nuts?
B
First of all, it completely pushes back the movement to have to tell me that two women successfully flying a plane.
A
We're like, why is it a big deal?
B
Autopilot, by the way, is. Is a big deal. It's not a big deal.
A
I agree. Making it a big deal is sexist.
B
It is 100%. She thought that she was, like, advancing.
A
Like, she thought it was a slay.
B
She thought she was doing something there, and she wasn't. And the second is, like. Like, if I had any issues with the flight, then I would have blamed the women.
A
It's so true.
B
It was a great flight. But I'm also smart enough to know that a flight from Los Angeles to New York is literally autopilot.
A
I'm sorry, what was that?
B
And then undo autopilot and land.
A
I love that.
B
Yeah.
A
So, Ben, obviously, this was a huge loss for you, not being people's sexiest man alive, but there is always next year.
B
Yes. Well, how do I submit? Like, can somebody submit me?
A
You gotta just, like, put some nude photos out on the Internet. I think maybe they need nudes. I think we need.
B
What? Sex tape. Yeah, I'm in.
A
Yeah, I know you are. Okay.
B
Want to do it now?
A
Yeah. Yeah, we just fit. We're in a studio. Yeah. All right, calm down, Ben. Yeah. Keep your shirt on. We are gonna do Dancing with the Stars, but in case anybody, like, doesn't watch or it's. I don't want to spoil it. It'll be the fifth story. So just want to say that, by.
B
The way, if you don't watch, like. Like, you're really missing out on some clean family fun.
A
It's so true. It's family fun. I mean, literally every. I think, like, they have, like, 10 million viewers a week.
B
You're missing out on clean family fun. Clean family. Clean family fun. And Carlton from Fresh Prince is the host. And it's clean family fun.
A
So speaking of family, David Beckham has been knighted by King Charles. And Victoria Beckham has also gotten a posh new name. So Sir David Beckham, he was knighted by King Charles III during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on His wife Victoria, who was also in attendance at the ceremony, got a new title. She's Lady Beckham. So he is Sir David Beckham. They both posted on Instagram. He said, I've obviously been very lucky in my career to have won what I've won and done what I've done. But to receive an honor like this of a night is beyond anything I've ever thought that I would receive, to be honest. A young boy from the East End of London, born, born in Leytonstone and here at Windsor Castle, being honored by His Majesty the King, the most important and most respected institution in the world. It's quite a moment. And the Victoria made the suit that he wore to accept the honor because, you know, a clothing designer.
B
Are you done?
A
Yeah, yeah. There's more. His parents were in attendance. It's really cute. I, I, I could not love these two more. And a fun fact about David Beckham is he's obsessed with the Royal family. Like, when Queen Elizabeth most recently died, you know, a part of the ceremony in the UK is they put her coffin like in a big palace. And people come from all over the world, they wait in line. He literally, and you know, he could have cut the line. He waited in line for seven hours just to literally stand by her coffin and pay his respects and like bow and leave. There were pictures of him, people being like, is that David Beckham 7? So this must be the biggest fucking deal.
B
So then it's really nice that he got it because what I was going to say, first of all, David Beckham, big fan and also big time Jew.
A
Jewish king. Yes. So proud. He's so proud.
B
And we love, like accomplished, great, non controversial, proud Jews.
A
We also don't have like a lot of athletes.
B
No.
A
So to have like a big time athlete, that's huge for us.
B
Huge for us.
A
We have lots of like, writers and comedians.
B
So many writers, but not a lot of athletes.
A
So a lot of. That's huge.
B
And you know, I was gonna say that. I just feel like sometimes they just like night, like, I don't know why they're knighting random people. Like, sometimes.
A
Oh, that's actually funny. I don't agree. I feel like they, it's not something. Yeah. Sometimes, like you can get it. And then it's like everyone's, I just.
B
Don'T know why, like, and I love Elton John.
A
Oh, I know why.
B
Why?
A
Because like, he's, he makes Britain look good. He's like made his people proud. Like people who go out and accomplish great things in their field. Like sports. Yeah. You. You deserve it. Dame Judi Dench, like, people. Dame Maggie Smith.
B
Sure.
A
I feel like the people that I know in Hollywood, like, who have gotten it, are great representation of the British people.
B
Got it. I didn't even know that Elton John was British. I don't know where the fuck I thought he was from. But now that makes sense.
A
Okay, like, seriously, you really are not okay. You're not okay. You're not okay.
B
But now that makes sense. Okay, so they're proud members. They're proud of the people, and so they knight them. That makes sense.
A
Yeah.
B
David Beckham makes sense.
A
Yeah. He's from the uk. I just want to make sure. I'm like, wait, yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
He's one of the ones you really like. You didn't even know.
A
No, I did. I saw the movie, but I was like, wait, just like 100. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see the movie Rocket Man?
B
I think so. I think I saw it with you. I remember.
A
I think I saw it with Olivia. Were you with.
B
I don't think I saw it with you.
A
Did you see it, though? You would love it.
B
I feel like.
A
I feel like you saw Rocket Man. Nobody loves Elson John more than your dad.
B
Rocket Man. And I think it's gonna be a.
A
Long, long time to Touchdown. What's your favorite Elton John song? There are so many good ones. Benny and the Jets.
B
Like, Benny and the Jets.
A
I used to call Ben.
B
What's another one?
A
And there's so many. Rocket Man. I'm still standing.
B
Oh, he says, oh, I knew that because last night we were literally watching Dancing with the Stars.
A
Rock and roll Hall.
B
Sing.
A
Yeah. This is from Sing 2.
B
I don't know. That is Elton John. I know. That is Sing.
A
Yeah. He has a million songs. You should watch a movie.
B
Like, he does have a million songs. It's funny that I haven't seen that, but I saw Dylan.
A
Yeah, me and Ben saw. What was the movie called? The Bob Dylan.
B
The Bob Dylan Show.
A
It was called, like, Dylan. No, it had a weird one, like Beautiful Things or A Beautiful Mind. That's like a Holocaust movie. Let me just double check.
B
Dylan's Dylan.
A
What was it called?
B
Oh, it was one of his song.
A
Oh, I remember it. Do you want to know?
B
Yeah.
A
A complete unknown.
B
The terrible name that said Timothy Chalamet. What a guy.
A
Could we just go back to David Beckham really quickly? I'm really happy for him. Like, I'm obsessed with these two. I feel like obviously they've been famous. I'm really happy for him, for their whole lives, like, and globally, like, super famous. But I do feel like they've entered into an era recently after his documentary, like, really leveled them up. They're so a list. I feel like I put them now on the same level as, like, people are gonna think I'm crazy. But like, like Megan Markle and Prince Harry in terms of fame. The Obamas, like, they're so up there.
B
Did you see the video? Did you guys already talk?
A
We talked about it yesterday. Who was my host yesterday?
B
Strecker.
A
Oh, Shrek. No, no, it was two days ago. Xandra. I feel like she wasn't really like super into royals.
B
Meghan Markle celebrating the World Series was the single worst video I've ever seen in my life.
A
Great.
B
I actually wanted to jump off a bridge. Like, I watched it and I'm like, oh, Harry, like, needs a divorce today.
A
Okay. So you know what, I'm actually going to switch our next story because it was Chris Martin and Sophie Turner dating. But we had like already spoken about it. So there's this story in Page Six. Now I can tell if Page Six just hates Meghan Markle. So you have to take everything they say with like a grain of salt. But it says, like a source says that Hollywood has really soured on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Like, they've lost a lot of their good faith. So Hollywood source tells Page Six that when it comes to Megal and Meghan and Harry quote, there is not only no appetite left for them in la, but they've also worn through any goodwill that they had. Another source tells them that people are sick of them. Their act has gotten stale. Netflix recently downgraded their deal with the high profile pair. The couple had originally signed $100 million multi year deal which was just renewed as a first look deal. The source obviously hates Meghan and Harry, saying they're just hopeless in professional settings. She also recently lost her publicist and it's like the third publicist in a row. There's a lot of rumors about them and I do feel like they're overblown. But I do think there's something really sinister like behind the scenes there.
B
I don't really like that they're grouped.
A
Oh. Because who do you think is worse?
B
100 Megan.
A
Oh, I'm 100 Harry's worst.
B
I just don't think that Harry wants what is currently happening.
A
Oh, I disagree.
B
You think that he wants fame?
A
Oh, yeah. But you have to, you have to keep in mind, let me tell you, you have to Keep in mind that, like, he has lived his whole life in the shadow of his brother. He's been called. His memoir was called Spare. You have an heir and a spare. He's been like this sort of throwaway brother. He's been, like, dying for attention his whole life. He went to Vegas and dressed up as a Nazi. Like, he just wanted eyes on him. And now that he's out from the shadow of his brother and came to America as this hero, being like the bad royal family, I think he has, like, this is the life. Yeah. She wanted to be an act just doing well. That's a great question. They've signed all these deals and they don't fulfill these deals. So they had a Netflix deal, they had a Spotify deal. He's like, in this company with Oprah as like a mental health specialist. Like, they sign on to all these projects and they do not fulfill them. He also got a three book deal with like a big book publisher. The first one came out. It was actually super popular because it was like this crazy. Tell all about the royal family. And of course, people love to know about the royal family. Beyond that, I don't know what more he has to say, but he does have more books in the pipeline. I think he, like, really wants to be famous. Yeah, I think she does too. But, like, in a more. Who doesn't want to be famous? You know, like in a more swirly type of way, I guess.
B
I don't know.
A
I don't know if I'm right, though. I don't know if I'm right.
B
I can only. I can only judge based on what I've seen and what I've seen. First of all, Meghan Markle in suits was fantastic.
A
We loved suits. And I also feel like I'm biased because I recently watched suits and I. It really changed how I see her. I thought she was like super beautiful, talented, amazing.
B
She was. But this show, show, her cooking show.
A
Oh, well, yeah, let's talk about that.
B
Is really.
A
You loved her jam.
B
Her jam was delicious.
A
Like, you said, it was the best thing you ever ate.
B
And it was like, somehow not so insanely caloric. There wasn't so much sugar in it. It was like a clean apricot jam that was delicious that her PR company sent. So kudos to her PR company.
A
Sent to you. Yeah.
B
Okay.
A
You acting like you have pr. Calm down.
B
Okay. You're right. You're right.
A
Yeah.
B
And so, yeah, she can make or works with a team that makes a good product for sure. The show was just so disingenuous.
A
That's the running theme with all of.
B
Their projects was so, like, I don't believe you. I'm sorry. I don't believe you.
A
That you are making a homemade potpourri like, or.
B
Or that you are tie dying T shirts.
A
Yeah. That scarves.
B
Like, what are you even doing?
A
Yeah.
B
Like, it's so. It's so simple. Like, just you're. You're royal or royal adjacent or royal.
A
Right.
B
Do cool shit.
A
Yeah.
B
Be like the.
A
No. They got these huge deals with Spotify, with Netflix, and it would have been great if what they put out was party. Right? Like a Meghan Markle cooking show. Like, you're royal. You have live in this huge farm in Montecito.
B
Like, it was filmed.
A
Well done.
B
It was well done. Done. It's just like, I didn't believe her. I didn't believe anything that she was doing.
A
So she's had like a couple of podcast deals. And so I understand what this article is saying. Like, this is what the source says. They're just hopeless in professional settings. We're told Harry even showed up late to a Netflix meeting, then asked an executive to get him a cup of hot chocolate, which is apparently his go to beverage of choice. This story echoes a similar claim made by a Spotify employee who told Vanity Fair that Harry asked for the same drink, but there was none in the office, so employees screwed up scrambled to obtain some. All right, well.
B
And by the way, that has one. It's not a big deal. Okay? Like, hot chocolate is delicious. 2. That's on Spotify employees for not saying, we don't have hot chocolate.
A
And not only that, like, if you have a prince coming, like, find out what he likes to drink and have it. The report also claimed. Wait, this is really interesting that an idea was pitched to Harry. What if you reviewed a hot chocolate every week while chatting with a different friend, which Harry and his team considered, but then rejected, by the way.
B
Great idea.
A
Yeah. Oh, my God. I think that's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. Coffees and cars. Yeah. Yeah, right.
B
But his could be hot chocolate. We can bring back. What's our favorite low calorie hot chocolate that nobody?
A
Swiss Miss.
B
Swiss Miss. It could be sponsored by Swiss Miss.
A
The pair had.
B
You're welcome. Swiss Miss.
A
The reportedly had. The pair had reportedly signed a three year, $20 million deal with Spotify. It ended in 2023 after one season of her show Archetypes. And then she had a podcast called Confessions of a Female Founder with Lemonada. Which ran from April to June of 2025. Yeah. Her podcast career was not. I don't know.
B
I think it's her. I really do.
A
She's a hardworking girl, though. Like, she. She, like, you know, got herself on a TV show. I don't think that she's not hardworking.
B
I. I never said that. I just think that, like, the stuff that she puts out, it's just, like, it's just weird. I just don't like any of it.
A
You know, this report says, like, she controls everything. She thinks she's smarter than everyone. She's dismissive. And yes, there was, like, a lot of news recently. I'm having a stroke.
B
Yeah.
A
She lost another publicist. People from her. People who work from her, like, run from her. I don't know. I don't know. I just feel like it's a lie and I'm just like, not bad. I hate him. Like, that's. I. One of my fatal flaws is, like, I am intent on seeing the worst in Prince Harry. Like, I just think he's evil. I do.
B
I'm sure that he's just like, a very normal.
A
I don't think so.
B
I think he's like a normal person.
A
I don't think them. Our next story is something I literally would have never chosen.
B

H E L P.com toast all right Ben, are you ready for the four story that was tailored Ready like just chosen just for you?
B
Yes.
A
Oreo has unveiled their Thanksgiving dinner cookies. So here are the flavors. Ready Turkey and stuffing.
B
What the?
A
And creamed corn. Ooh.
B
So whoa. Wait. Are you sure this isn't like an April Fool?
A
I'm positive. Oreo Thanksgiving Dinner Inspired Cookies are available in dessert inspired flavors like apple, carabine Caramel. Not to be confused with the previously released Caramel is obviously delicious and pumpkin pie, which is not the pumpkin spice. It's a pumpkin pie. But the snacks snack the snack brand revealed their brand new Thanksgiving Dinner Inspired cookies yesterday. The cookie sandwiches are each coated in fudge, but here's where the Thanksgiving flavors come in. The fudge is infused with the flavors of six different Turkey Day Dishes. So this is a little bit confusing, but they're selling it in a limited edition Oreo. Like tin. It's like a big tin Oreo. And then there are two of each flavor in the package. It's $20. It's a pretty good. It's like a holiday thing that you can send to someone.
B
Oh, nice.
A
Yeah. The flavors sound, like really unique. Cream corn is dunked in a bright yellow fudge with a light yellow drizzle, while the turkey and stuffing cookie is brown. I don't know. I like. I feel conflicted because I say, like Oreos. You're a perfect cookie. Leave it be. Just make Oreo. But then, you know, they released golden Oreo, and I think golden Oreo is better than regular Oreo.
B
And then they release the thinnies, and you're like, holy.
A
They're just called the thins. But okay.
B
Delicious, these thinnies. And then they're just called the thins.
A
And the thinnies are the turkey slices that you like.
B
If you turn the knob, it tightens it. You see, it was the perfect cookie. The thin is my favorite these days.
A
Look, here's the thin is like a cracker. I could eat a whole sleep, especially breastfeeding. I could eat a whole pack of Oreo thins. Golden or regular, in about 30 minutes.
B
Yeah. Here's what I think about these. These cookies. First and foremost, this is wonderful marketing by Oreo. You're talking about Oreo. They don't care about this, the Thanksgiving thing. We're just lifting the whole brand. Right? Wonderful marketing. Corn is wonderful in sweet and savory settings. I can easily see a creamed corn. Think of a cornbread.
A
Yeah.
B
Corn muffin.
A
Yeah. Extremely versatile.
B
Corn is extremely versatile. Turkey is not. I will not. I. I have no interest in a turkey and stuffing. Chocolate covered Oreo.
A
It sounds disgusting. Yeah.
B
And I don't need it.
A
I think we need to order it and do a Patreon taste test.
B
We should have them send it to us.
A
Oh, I could order it. It's $20.
B
Yeah, you can send.
A
Loosen the purse straight.
B
Yeah. Just it to me.
A
Oh, yeah. Cuz Ben's like a very influential.
B
My PO Box.
A
Okay. PO Box.
B
You don't even have a PO Box. My po.
A
I just want to say these look disgusting.
B
Yeah, they do.
A
And I have a very hot take.
B
Please.
A
It's like a regular. Oreos are very commonly sold now at, like, you know, different fancy food stores. Dipped in chocolate and it's like this big. Like, I don't like it. Like, it's not that it's bad.
B
Oh, you don't like the chocolate covered or Oreo?
A
It's fine. But it's become so popular, it's too much.
B
Yeah, look, people started dipping. People started frying. People started taking the Oreos.
A
Take it back. Fried Oreos are amazing.
B
I'm not disagreeing that they are amazing. I'm just saying they're a lot.
A
Yeah, but I'm like an Oreo, Stan. Like, my favorite types of ice cream is cookies and cream. I love chopped up oreos. I love Oreos. So I'm not. I'm saying this with love in my heart.
B
I actually don't know now that I'm thinking about it. I don't know if anybody loves Oreos more than you.
A
Golden Oreos are like my favorite.
B
It's not even that. Like, when you get any kind of ice cream, you want chocolate crunchies, which are just broken up Oreos.
A
And a lot of people don't realize that Oreo actually has sunflower lecithin in it, which is great for breastfeeding mamas. It helps with supply.
B
And did you know they're par of their parv?
A
Yes. Which means non dairy. So they're kosher too.
B
They're really just nothing.
A
Yeah, no, they're amazing.
B
They're really just 100 chemicals. Like, what the hell is in an Oreo if it's parv.
A
Okay. Voice crack. You know, it's a good question. Like, the fact that they're part of is great, but that means that they're non dairy. So what's the cream?
B
What's in it?
A
Yeah, it's a little I don't want to know sunflower lesson.
B
Send it to me. I don't want to know.
A
Today's fifth and final story is a little Dancing with the Stars recap. Spoiler alert. Danielle Fischl went home to panga. Ben's girlfriend and paychecks is reporting that her Boy Meets World co stars think the judges have a personal vendetta against her. So DFISchel's Boy Miss Worlds co stars think the Dancing with the Stars judges have a personal vendetta against her. Ryder Strong admitted on Saturday's episode of the Pod Meets World podcast. In regards to watching the judges score her performances, I held back anger. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. At this point, it's starting to feel like a personal vendetta. Are you guys open to the potential that Danielle might be working her ass off?
B
So I do with working her ass off. Her dance was bad. Yeah.
A
So I just feel like that that podcast was before she went home. And I think he's probably even more enraged now that she did go home. And I feel like I'm actually extremely unbiased when I comes to Dancing with the Stars, with the exception of Andy. Like, I don't have any horse in this race. And I just feel like it's like Danielle's time, like, that's it.
B
Yeah. I have a couple of things to say here. First of all, Topanga was just like, you love her. The heartthrob of a generation.
A
You love her.
B
I loved her.
A
Certainly you don't love her anymore.
B
No, she seems wonderful. That said, she looks like our pediatrician.
A
I said that on the toe, she.
B
Looks like Dr. Pryless and it was her time.
A
Yeah, I agree.
B
Her dance was bad and.
A
Oh, yeah, it was bad.
B
This is a very clearly a two horse race.
A
Who would you think the horses are?
B
The horse is Alex and the horse is Whitney.
A
Oh, wow. I agree.
B
I know that you probably like Crocodile Dundee.
A
Well, people love Robert Irwin.
B
He seems wonderful, by the way. He's a very good dancer and he just, like, he's. He's a star.
A
I like, would agree, except that Jordan Chiles is, like, really stepping her pussy up. So, like, I think you're. You're scooting past it. Her.
B
Yeah, I just. I don't know. I. I think that Whitney and Alex are just amazing dancers.
A
No, Alex has really, in the last, like, two weeks, crushed it. Oh, my God. Last night's dance was amazing.
B
Clear how hard she works.
A
What is up with Flavor Flav? Like, I actually, I like that they brought in a judge who wasn't so serious. Like, people take this show so seriously. Like, it's actually annoying. Like, whenever we give critiques, people like, well, you don't understand the jive. Okay. Yeah. I don't understand the drive.
B
I just.
A
I understand that I watch something that I thought was good. Like, look good. Yeah. So it's nice that he brought, like, a sense of levity, but, like, him giving, like, Andy a nine or an eight and then Alex a nine. Like, I hate that it's Joe. Voting and judging, like, really made no sense. Having said that, like, he brought levity and it was fun and fresh and whatever. But, like, Alex was very close to being the first person to get a completely perfect score. A 40 out of 40 and she got a 39. He had said in an interview afterwards he meant to give her a 10 and then they wouldn't let him change it, so. Yeah, but that's, like, annoying for Alex, but I do believe she's. When we first started, it was, like, very clear that Whitney was going to win. And I feel like Alex sort of was like, hold my beer. I think Alex really could and kind of should win.
B
She works so hard.
A
That's the thing. Like, Whitney does have professional dance background. So I don't know if necessarily Whitney's getting that much better. Like, she was already at the top. Yeah.
B
She's kids, right?
A
No, it's insane.
B
No, like, like, Alex has made this. It's very, very clear. Her full time job, 100% personality, committed with Val in that room. He gave her a very inappropriate smooch on the forehead.
A
Yes. That was weird.
B
Give her a very inappropriate smooch. And it seems that the two are thick as thieves and they are in it to win it.
A
Yeah, like, she's really, like, new to the dance world. I know she, like, danced a little bit, but in terms of, like, ballroom technique and stuff. And I feel like she's the perfect, like, they should have her win because she's really what the show embodies. Whitney, who, like, is like a professional dancer dancer. Winning is like, no, you're supposed to be a star before you're a dancer.
B
And she's a great guest judge. That would be really fun. I agree. I would be like, very Bruno. I give him a nine.
A
And I want to talk about Andy Hitler of me.
B
I didn't mean to do that.
A
That was very Hitler coded. I want to talk about Andy really quickly. Okay.
B
Yeah, but can I. Before you go into it, let me just say Andy should not be on the show anymore. Andy is a really nice guy. I see a lot of myself in him. When I saw his outfit last night, I was like, oh, that looks like, like me five drinks deep.
A
@ a wedding.
B
At a wedding where I've untucked my shirt and taken off my bow tie and I'm just like, dancing and sweaty. But you've platformed him a little bit too hard. And I think that people are voting for him because you told them to. Oh, wow. End of the day, the only argument for Danielle Fishel is that she should not have gone home before Andy.
A
So I have been like an Andy defender because every week, while he's certainly not the best dancer, I feel as though he's brought something to the dance dance. Whether it was endearing, like I thought it was sweet, or whether it was funny, like, he made me laugh. And last night was the first time he danced where I was like, okay, You've actually given me nothing. And all I see is your mistakes, and all I see is your inability to keep up. So I thought that last night was an appropriate time for him to go home. Up until that point, I thought there were people who just did less. And I know people didn't agree with me, but he was bringing something. This is a TV show. He was entertaining me. And last night I was like, okay, he can definitely go home. Danielle Fischer going home before him. Him. This is what Jackie and I keep saying. Like, it doesn't matter. Like, Andy's not going to win and Daniel's not going to win. It was one of them going home first. So the fact that it was in now. Now Andy will go home. There's no now. If he doesn't go home, I will think that it's weird the way people every week is like, well, it's weird that Andy hasn't got home. I haven't. Agreed. Now starting. No one needs to go home besides him.
B
Agreed.
A
And I appreciate you blaming me.
B
It's your fault.
A
That's really sweet of you. It's not. But it's time.
B
It's time. It's time for Andy to go home.
A
Yeah.
B
To his kids and to his wife.
A
Yeah.
B
Because him and what's her name are getting a little bit too close.
A
Emma.
B
Yeah.
A
I don't think so. I think it's much more of, like, a paternal daughter. Daughterly.
B
Nothing's. Nothing's paternal.
A
She's dating Alan.
B
Okay.
A
Do you know who that is?
B
I do. All I know is I don't know what Andy's thinking. Just saying.
A
What are you talking about?
B
Just saying.
A
Okay, that's Ditzy with the stars. Recap. I am, like, now we're getting to the point where we're, like, thinning the herd. I think once we get to, like, five or six people. Jordan, Whitney. Because it's top four right now, my top four are Alex, Jordan, Whitney, Robert, Irwin.
B
I also.
A
Sorry, I'm not a fan of Dylan Efron. I don't think. I think he'll go home soon, too.
B
Agreed. And it. Andy should have gone home before Jen. Jen was a good dancer.
A
Yeah, I agree.
B
Worked hard.
A
I agree.
B
And if we're doing this on hard work and improvement. She was postpartum.
A
Yep.
B
And she deserved to go further.
A
I completely agree. Although Jackie's take on it and I just don't disagree with it, is, like, I do think it was kind of a kind thing to let her go. I think this was a really difficult experience. For her being away from her kids, breastfeeding full time.
B
So true.
A
Being so freshly postpartum. And I think it's hard on her body physically and her mind.
B
She wasn't gonna win. So it was.
A
Let her go.
B
Let her go.
A
Yeah. I think it was the kind thing to do.
B
Who is the worst contestant on Dancing with the Stars this year?
A
Who was it? Who was define worst. Like, in a technical sense, it's Andy.
B
Who annoyed you the most? No, like, oh, Lauren Correggi. Got it.
A
Baron Davis wasn't great. Like, I forgot. We've literally. The show's been on for three months already.
B
Like, Baron Davis was bad. I was. I was not a hilarious them. Oh, I'm just not a Hilaria.
A
I'm not a hilarious any either because, like, she's so crazy. But in terms of dance, she was very good.
B
She was a fine dancer.
A
And she went home because people just don't like her.
B
She was a fine dancer.
A
And that's the thing. That's what I'm worried about. People really don't like Whitney. Like, when I go to Twitter and like, see, they're like, I can't believe Whitney didn't go home last night. I'm like, what are you talking about? She's the best dancer on tv. And so I do think that the fan votes actually have, like, a lot of sway and people really don't like Whitney.
B
I don't know why if the fan votes have a lot of sway. Alex.
A
Yeah, agreed. Agreed. 100. And I would be. I would be very happy. I think she deserves to win. She's my winner right now. Like, that's who I voted for last night. I only voted for one person and I voted for her 10 times.
B
Yeah, she has been amazing.
A
Agreed. It's been, like, really cool to see someone from Tick Tock, like, crush it. Yeah. Like, those are our peeps. Content creator, CC podcaster, cc. Guys, give it up for Ben. He'll probably be back because I'm in Florida and like, it's literally gonna be him and Olivia and we're talking. No, I have someone tomorrow joining me, so maybe Friday. No, I have someone Friday, but next week.
B
So I'll be back.
A
You'll be back next week.
B
Okay, cool.
A
And guys, send me recommendations for people in Florida or if you live in Florida and like our podcaster and like, I know you and I just can't think of you. Please reach out. I do have a couple of days open next week.
