Meta Glasses, Senior Dating, and a Third WHAT?

0:00I told you the big AJ from the Costco guys wants to come on the podcast and address whatever beef he has with you over the beast games. So he heard the pot, he heard it, he knows it, he's aware of it and Josh, he's apologetic. He wanted me to let you know that he's learned from the experience and is doing better. Josh, I take it all back, love him and he would love to come on the podcast. Come on over. How do you have beef with the Costco guys? The only people I've ever had beef with on record and Drake Bell and big AJ. It's on site. Welcome back to the good guys podcast Ben.

1:14How are you? Josh, if somebody just picks up the phone, we're not talking about your best friend here, okay? Is that a what are you nuts? It's a what are you nuts for me, Josh? If I'm not friends with you and I just get a random call from you and I don't know why, I'm not picking up. Is that crazy? I completely agree. I think it's crazy to basically pick up any call that you don't recognize except whenever I get a call that says it from South Florida, I go, oh God, it's my mother's independent living community. Like who did she upset at the dining hall? It wasn't my fault, Josh. I said, this is my seat. I like to have my back to the wall to keep me safe from my ops. I like a view of the trays coming out of the kitchen so I know what's hot. But, Josh, it's not even the random call that I don't want to pick up.

2:14I could have your numbers saved. I don't want to talk to you unless, of course, I know why I'm just not picking up. I could have your numbers saved, right? I'm not talking a spam call. I could have your numbers saved. If I don't pick up and you don't text me, hey, just tried you, had a question about blank, I'm never calling you back. Really? Yeah, unless I love you, if it's a random person, I just don't want it. Like if it's, or if I know it's important, then I would be expecting it. But yeah, and maybe I asked him, I nuts, am I nuts? Maybe that's nuts of me. I think that might be nuts. And I also think that the reason why is because texting allows us to multitask. And here's my new thoughts on multitasking. It's bullshit. You're doing everything poorly if you're not focusing on one thing. And that's why people don't want to make phone calls. And that's why people would rather text. And they're not connecting. And the whole world is falling apart.

3:15Intro. But what's going on? Nothing. I'm just getting calls from my mother's independent living because she's saying, Josh, I've got my blick and I've been singing and I'm making a lot of people jealous because they don't like how good my voice is. How is Barb? Barb is as good as gold. And she, I just, I love it because she, no matter what and any apartment, we've always lived in apartment complexes growing up. She has always become the mayor and it's like, listen, whether you like it or not, mayor Barb is here and we're having a meeting. And so I just love to, I'm just her fan club. So is she on the board of assisted living? Can you be on the board of assisted living? Do they have board members? I'm on the roof.

4:16I don't know. I'm sure there's a steering committee. Joshy, I'm on the steering committee. Joshy, I'm on the steering committee of the independent living, which is nice because I haven't driven in years. I was thinking about turn-ons. Like if you were going to put on like, if there was a senior dating app and it's like, turn-ons, driving at night, going up stairs without holding on to the railing, eating after six, which by the way, is what he nuts for me now, I eat at 5.30. I love it. I know you do too. I love it. It's so good. And Claudia and I are now once a week really committed to trying to go out, one meal, have a drink, sit at the bar, be just like cool, young, hip parents. But let me tell you, going out to eat at eight o'clock, it's like, it just like messes

5:21with your whole week, like this is, that was, that was my time to watch the pit. Like that was my TV time. It's like so good for us and I love it, but it's hard. Like once, I mean, you know, better than me, three kids, once you have three kids, the idea of breaking routine, it's just hard. I don't know. We're in such a groove, you know? I suck at it and it's not cool. I need to take my wife on more dates and the thing is we are really spoiled having her family to help us, but it also can sometimes be limiting because we don't want to overly use that and like, you know, maybe if one of her siblings is a little low on cash, they'll let me pay them, but like obviously her parents aren't letting me pay them. And so it's easier sometimes to get a babysitter and tell me if this is reasonable because the problem is we don't have a great babysitter rotation. We have someone lovely that helps with Meyer, but she comes during the week for set hours. So I sit to my wife, I was like, look, we need to have more date nights.

6:22I want to facilitate all that. You need to help me with finding good babysitters because I'm busy working, then I'm busy with the kids. And I don't have the great mom network that you have. And I said, I'm happy if I said if you can handle finding the babysitter portion of it, I'll be the one to book them, I'll be the one to, you know, make us a nice dinner reservation. But I don't think I can help with the babysitter portion. Is that fair? 100% like they have at least Claudia, like she has a group chat. That's all of the moms in New York City and they all share resources. Is it like that in L.A.? It sounds like it is. And so I don't have that at my fingertips. I can't join the group chat. By the way, you want to put me in the group chat? I'm in. Put me in the group chat. But the group chat is gendered. I'm not allowed in the group chat. So if I'm not allowed in the group chat, then yes, 100%, it is totally fair to ask her to find the babysitter and then let you communicate with the babysitter for sure. And then once you find one, Josh, never let her go.

7:24Never let her go. Especially if she vibes with your kids. Never let her go. You want to raise? No problem. Another raise? No problem. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can't put a price on it until you're broke. And then she's taking all your money. She's taking your house. She asks for the home. That's when it stops. But up until that point, the answer is yes. It's amazing. It never made sense to me how people can nickel and dime the people watching their kids. Insane. Insane. Actually, we have friends who will say to us, they're so proud that they got their babysitter for 18 an hour. I'm like, are you nuts? You're proud that you got her down from 25 to 18. Why are you proud of that? Why would that be? When you're presiding to you. It's the polar opposite. If you need the money that badly to watch my children that you're going to take a rate cut, I know that you have no business anywhere else for a reason. And I don't trust you with my children. No, hold your firm price.

8:26You're watching children. Like my most precious baby. Like yeah, I would never. Never. By the way, if you're in the 30s and this is like long term help and you try and get saved two bucks here and there, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people that just like are very openly proud that they got a bargain for their nanny. No good. It's the one thing you don't want to bargain for. I also, what do we think about this? Because I know a lot of couples that really will push it with their babysitters like, you know, look, it's set, right? Like if we leave it six, we got to be home by 10. And that's like probably because the truth is if it's going to be like a two hour thing, we're probably not going to enlist the babysitter. It doesn't make sense. Sure. But like, I know plenty of parents that are calling the babysitters a 10, 10, 30, 11, 11, 30 mean like just need another half hour, just need another hour. Like, what are you doing? Make proper plans, go home. That's terrible. That's terrible.

9:27Those are the people that just like don't know how to grow up. They don't. They don't. If you want that type of a night, he or she is staying at your grandparents if they can or you found a solution for overnight. But if you're out boozing and you need another hour, then you're in no shape to go home to your kids anyways. I don't know. Grow up. Go up, Josh. That's all I have to say. Grow up. Go grow the hell up. And speaking of recently, the other day, it took Max and Shy to this soccer game at the LAFC. I'm a huge fan of the Los Angeles Football Club. And they were having a legends match. So, you know, great legendary players from Spain, from Real Madrid and from Barcelona, like Ronaldinho were playing. It was super fun. Great time. Ronald. Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho. And so we're there. It was great because it's legends. The guys are in their 50s. So, like, the gold tenders were a good 50 pounds overweight. It was unbelievable.

10:28But they're legends, Josh. I don't want to derail this, but Tiger Woods came out recently saying that he's going to join the champion store. And I saw a comment under the post saying that this guy would literally watch Tiger Woods take a dump. And that's exactly how I feel. I would watch a legend do anything. Sure. You're 100 pounds overweight. You're playing goalie. What the fuck you are is opposed to this random person. I don't need to watch a random person play soccer. I could otherwise I go to a little league. Continue. Right. Well, I was there and the great Max and Shire there and Max is perfect at seven. And Shia is perfect at three, but it's a little harder to wrangle at three-year-old. And he's kind of up and down and we had, like, the road to ourself. It wasn't completely packed. So we were taking up three seats, but we had six seats, like two on one side, one on the other. And then he was kind of walking the aisle and then he would eat some fruit and watch the game and then he would walk a little more. And I noticed that the great Sebastian Mantiscalco is sitting in front of me with his beautiful wife and kids, beautiful family and join and pay out.

11:28And then I noticed that Shia, as we all know, has had a couple poop problems. He's got a little hesitancy when it comes to using the restroom. It's just fine. He's perfect. No accidents. But he will hold it. And so, of course, when someone is holding it for two hours, they're two, and it's the wind around, okay, right by the Mantiscalco's, okay. Shia's crop dusting the Mantiscalco's, and I am so fucking mortified and I'm already seeing the new bit that Sebastian's going to do. And he's like, so was it, man, I'm getting fucked, dusted, my hair off, it's very good. I'm like, oh God, giant stuff, funny. And he's like, walking up and down the seat, some pretty sure he's like bumping their

12:31seats. I'm like, I left an hour early because I was so embarrassed and felt so bad that I was ruining the Mantiscalco's time. Shout out, big fan.

How old do you think Josh is too young to bring your child to a sporting event? I was thinking to myself, you know, I would love on a Saturday to just bring sweet Ruby to a basketball game. Is he too little? I think so. I think the age he is now, eight months, nine months.

14:37Yeah. Yeah. Is he too, I think, do we still have to worry about their ears at this age? Or they're old enough? I think you could definitely use some ear protection, which are easy. You can buy from Amazon. I think first question is, you're going to buy a meseek, because he doesn't need it. But all you know, no, I wouldn't buy a meseek. He would sit on my lap. He's not going to really sit on your lap. You're going to have to get the harness. Is he going to be happy in a harness for three hours? No. No. It would have to be sitting. He likes sitting on me facing forward. He's really good in that position. He sits on my lap as my little mini me, and he faces forward. That said, at a basketball game, and now thinking through it, what, he's going to be looking at the back of the seat. He's so little. I'm like, and he can't be on my shoulders, obviously. So I answered the question for myself. And if he's in a harness, he's not looking at that anyways. He's looking in.

15:38You can put him front facing in the harness. Yes. Yeah. But then it's still too short, and it's so uncomfortable for me. I answered my own question, Josh. He's too young. He's too young. Yeah. And if you got to go pee, you have to consider, like, there will be times where you need to put him down. Where is he going to go down? He'll have to be in the harness. If you have to go pee, if you have to go get a nice little nachos. Yeah. No, he's too young. So what do you think is the right age? I guess three, right? Is shy aware of the game or not even yet? Ish, but it was a day game. It was a family type thing. I probably wouldn't take him to, like, obviously, he'd be asleep. But I wouldn't take him to, like, an adult game where families were less involved. And do you think, like, a lot of time games? Is it five? When did you first take Max to a game where you knew he was locked in on the game? It took a while, but then, but you realize too that they like to go for the pomp and circumstance. They want to get the food. They want to get the jersey and they enjoy the process.

16:40And then I'll enjoy the game and give him my phone for an hour. It's like, it is what it is. Like we've done something together. Their attention is limited. They're not completely invested yet. But now it's seven. He's in. He has a great time. He's in. He loves sports. Like, I would think that he'd love it now. But yeah. Okay. So it's five, six years old. All right. I got some time. I'm not taking him to the basketball game. I'm not. There's so much. You can go to Paw Patrol Live. You can go to Monster Jam. We're talking. Totally. There's so much kid shit that's going to be amazing. I told you we brought Ruby to the shitty circus. The worst circus. We spoke about this already. The Barlim and Barnum and Bailey crap parade. This thing was ass. Okay. Ass the rebrand. But yeah, no. I was just selfishly like, I want to go to the basketball game and I was like, all right. I also want to spend time with Ruby. Can I do both? But the answer is no. Very no. Not yet. Not yet. The answer is not yet.

17:41The answer Josh is not yet. Do we have any weird news? Well, there is some weird news for us from the New York Post. We fart twice as much as previously thought. Scientists discover from new smart underwear. Letter rip. While breaking wind could help protect against Alzheimer's and postpartum depression, there can be too much of a good thing. Scientists recently discovered through super high tech and fancy underwear that were passing gas twice as often as previously thought. Are we leaking? Is that what it is? Yeah, it's coming out way more than we realize. I don't fart that much anymore, Josh. I used to fart a lot. I'm not a big, maybe that's the zet bound holding my stomach in. I fart much less. But then when I fart, you got to get out of town. You got to move. But for now, I'm farting that much. Yeah, for sure. You got to duck and weave. Duck and weave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fine. Fine, four foot thick.

18:43Thick cement. Yeah. Fine, four foot thick cement. You don't four foot thick cement. So we're protecting it to nuclear blast. Four foot thick cement will protect against a nuclear blast. Yeah. Then what are we worried about? What's this? What's so big about a nuke? Four feet of cement. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. New condes. We're worried about the craft. So why can't we just put the water in four feet of thick cement. There you go. Did you know that most people, we were thought to only have 14 Toots today but we're actually averaging 34 Toots today. Which, that sounds super average and low. It sounds low. Fourteen. Ah. Fourteen. Do I fart 14 times a day?

19:45too far at 14 time? Oh yes, I guess. I'm going to start counting. I'll get back to you. I'm going to start keeping a tracker. Sometimes when I'm asleep next to my wife and she's asleep, like, out. I'll rip it because I know I'm safe and then she'll kind of stir and I'm like, oh, no, don't let her wake up. You know, I don't want her to wake up to this and I get scared. Yeah. Now that's fair. That's fair. Absolutely. Oh, it's an alone in that. So cool. I grew up. Sometimes when my wife's sleeping, I like to fart on her. It's not on her. I just rip it in bed. I know. I'm just kidding. We all know the jig is up with you, Ben. I can't even imagine the frick I fart all out shelter. It's actually interesting when you let one lose. It's also interesting. I think I fart 14 times just in bed. I'm realizing I fart a lot in bed and maybe I just fart when I'm vertical.

20:49Is that possible? I'm more of a vertical farder than a horizontal farder. That's why Delta won't let you buy a lay flat seat anymore. No, I'm on the no fly list for. That should exist. No fart list. And you don't even know you're on it. The no fart list. 100%. If you're a smelly passenger, you should 100% not be allowed on board. No questions. You gotta go. I'm sure that does exist. I'm sure that a stewardess has flagged a person or two for being too smelling. Well, did you know that a woman grew a third boob and an unexpected place after having a baby. There's even a nipple still recovering in the hospital after giving birth. Jasmine, mother of two thought she'd seen it all, but she was informed that she had casually sprouted an extra breast complete with a nipple in a place no one expects. You know how cows and puppies and kittens, they have that line of nipples. Well, humans have that too. Go for it.

21:50Oh, man, I was going to guess the armpit, but it sounds like it's in the middle of the chest. Yeah, right there. Wow. Good for her husband. That's sweet. Kind of. It's a one. It's a great way to add some spice. A third nipple. It's amazing. Right. I think so. I imagine if I'm at a major, imagine I'm bending two dicks. That would spice things up one day overnight. I just sprouted a second dick. That would be crazy. But only one can get can be erected at times. It's like, it's like, it's like those inflatable that side of the used car shop. Yeah. Yeah. That is so much more fun. I agree. I agree. Yeah. Yeah, I guess pregnancy flips a switch. A surge of hormones, targets, breast tissue receptors

22:54to prepare for feeding. And because the extra tissue is biologically identical to regular breast tissue, it can swell at the same time. Sometimes forming lumps complete with extra or super numeric nipples. Wow. Fascinating. Super fun. I love it. I'm all in. That's it. I don't want another nipple. I would be very concerned if I got another nipple. Josh, I would be calling you very worried, very worried if I grew a third nipple. Sure. No, I get that. I'd be worried. Should we should we get to some food news? What's the news? What is that? That that? This week on food news. Mo. Costco debuts a new double chocolate mint Sunday. Costco just quietly dropped a new mint chocolate

23:58deserted its food course. And regular is already treating it like a seasonal side quest. Say hello to the double chocolate mint Sunday. It's mini soft served layered with chocolate cookie crumbles and chocolate sauce gently swirled into mint green and brown tied ice situation that looks way more dramatic than it's 299 price tag suggests. I told you that the I told you the big AJ from the Costco guys wants to come on the podcast and address whatever beef he has with you over the beast games. Oh, great. We got we have nothing to talk about. But come on over big right. So he heard the pot. He's he heard it. He heard it. He knows it. He's aware of it. And Josh he's apologetic. And he wanted me to let you know he wanted me to let you know that he's learned from the experience and is doing better. Josh, he wanted me to relay that to you. I take it all back. He learned and is doing better. And he would love to come on the podcast. And he would love

25:02to come on the podcast. Perhaps he brings these new cookies open invite. Okay. Okay. We'll do it. We'll do it. Come on over. Oh, how do you how do you have beef with the Costco guys? It's just so funny. I'm busy. I'm the I'm the illest. You're the illest. You're not even my illest guy. You're gonna beef with people. Such a random group father and son. The only people I've ever had beef with on record and drink bell and big AJ. Yeah, boy. Take some shit. It's on site. It's too funny. Oh my god.

29:20anonymous. Okay, we don't have to hear your voice. You don't have to be worried. You just type in your little email. And Josh, it has been unbelievable. These are so much better than speak pipes. Speak pipe. See you later. Gone. By the way, it's the last of Marshall. Marshall's officially dead, Josh. This was the last bit of Marshall. You were the best. We do, but Marshall's dead. That's it. Marshall's gone. This is Queen Olivia's Kingdom. Okay. This is it. The error of emails subject to birthday Venmo. Hey, good guys. My friend had a birthday dinner. Afterward, she Venmo requested everyone for her portion because quote, the birthday girls shouldn't pay. Is this standard? No. No, it's not standard. The opportunity to pay for her was then and there. If she missed it, I'm sorry, but an individual Venmo request for probably eight girls splitting up your fee. No good at all. That said, the birthday girl should never be paying. She should

30:23never be paying. So I have a lot of problems with all of this, but you should have paid for her then and there. Now I'm thinking, Josh, her friends made her pay. Shit. Shit. Bad friends. Bad friends. And what she shouldn't recoup the money. I'm going back on all of this. She should recoup the money. She shouldn't pay. There's nothing easier than covering someone when you're in a group of nine. I know. I know. And it's her birthday. I mean, if unfortunately, they weren't able to pick up the tap for everyone, which should be more common stance. I know we're all struggling. I know we're all working hard. But if you invite everyone to a birthday thing for you at a place for dinner, it would be great if you could cover everyone and go to a place that's inexpensive. Go to a killer Mediterranean spot. That's like 20 bucks a person. Who cares? You're together. If you're able to cover the people that you've invited, it is the absolute best experience. Everybody's just having a better time. Josh, have I told you what I'm doing for my birthday

31:27this year? Have I told you? Okay. I haven't celebrated. You know, I love my birthday. I haven't celebrated it though. Really, I haven't celebrated my birthday. Probably since pre-COVID. I used to do big birthday parties. It was super fun. And we haven't done anything. I was just looking for me in Claudia. I went on stub hub. I just wanted to see who's performing. And you know who's performing on my birthday. Third day blind. Paramore. Yes. So I got Josh. I got a party bus. And I got 40 tickets. Oh, how much of the tickets? I got a discount, Josh. I got a group discount. It is fantastic. You want me to tell you how much each ticket was? They're not playing at Barclay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They're playing. It's still a nice venue, but I think it's all GA. And now it's going to be a great night that versus if I texted all of my friends, hey, I want to go to a concert of somebody that you probably don't even like or think that you don't

32:30like until you show up and then you remember that because one of the greatest songs ever written, Josh, but you don't remember that. If I asked them to buy tickets, the whole plan would have fallen apart. So this is my plan. I think everybody's going to have a really fun time. And so I did it. Again, I'm very fortunate that I could do it. But if you can do it even on the smallest scale, as you mentioned, a nice $20 taco venture. It's such a great flex. What a move. Good for you. Yeah. You want to come? Are you flying in? Sure. Okay. Great. Great. Okay. I'm holding you to that. I'll book your flight. You don't even have to. I'll book your flight. I'll book it. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Okay. I'll book it up. I'll just send it to you. Absolutely. Oh, I mean, okay. Come on. We're splitting it. Final split it. Premium economy. I um, I tell me if I, if this was crazy, but I just couldn't help myself. So I'm performing at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut at the end of March. And so it's an hour outside the city.

33:30So I'm just going to fly L.A. to New York, easy JFK. So I usually for that long of a flight, especially if it's work, I will fly business. And I found JetBlue mint, which I love. Now, they had an option because the new mint business class in JetBlue, the two front seats are bigger pods where someone could actually sit and join you. They're extra big. They're called the studio. Shout out Brian Kelly. Wow. And I was like, and it was an extra and, and the business class wasn't crazy expensive. So I felt good about that. But then one way I could get the studio for an extra $149 one way. I did it. Obviously, I thought you're going to say $149,000. And I was going to say that's too much. The way that you just described the studio, I thought it was for sure at least another two grand, at least $149 for a unique experience. I love it. You got to try it once. It's still a $1600, $1800 ticket. But then it's an extra, you know, $149 on top. But

34:33the only thing is I really have, it would be great if I was with you or my wife, because then you could join me and we could eat together in the studio. Now I'm just going to be a, I'm going to be like a sad spinster in my overly large apartment eating by myself. Yeah, but you got to try it for sure. And this also might be like a mean thing. Once I'm spending $1600, what's 1800? Okay, there's a threshold for me. Like once I'm spending money, the nominal difference between dollars, I automatically become fiscally irresponsible. That could be a mean thing. But if it's 16 or 18 and I get something better for 18, you can make a nice real Josh. Imagine the content in your studio. I love it. You're right. I'm going to do it. Do you guys ever see this social media trend of people? I think it has a lot to do with the meta glasses where it'll be like going for a solo date to the movies or going to the so for a solo date to like a really great restaurant. You've seen this? Olivia? Yes, I have seen this. Are you obsessed? I think that it's really fun.

35:37I think it's a, I will say I think it brings about some questions about like filming in Cognito in public a lot, but I think it's nice to see people enjoying time alone. I don't think it's in Cognito because the glasses do set off an alert when you're recording. I didn't realize that. Okay. And I don't think they're hiding the recording. They're just like, I'm going to go on a solo date to the movies so they'll go to the dollar general and get some of them candies and then they'll drive to the movie and they'll get like a beautiful assortment of food and I don't know. It's probably more sad for the people watching it that they would rather enjoy it through someone else and actually go to the movies. Anyway, I think I'm going to make one. You should. I want to see it. Oh, Josh, this one was written for you. Guys, there's a man in my gym who nods at me every single time we make eye contact. It's been six months. I don't know his name. Are we friends now? Do I have to escalate to small talk or can I continue ignoring them? If you're nodding at me at the gym, I'm creeped out personally. If I don't know you, I don't want

36:38to nod at you at the gym. But don't you think once you've seen someone enough times in the same place that it's weird to not acknowledge them in any way? Yes, I do. But it's also weird to acknowledge someone in the first place when I'm, I don't know, maybe I don't frequent the gym enough. So like when I go, I'm just like in my own zone, I'm definitely not there to make friends. I'm not in the gym to make friends. You can't say that because you've never been in the gym. It must be that. It must be that. You see that respectfully. It's one of the best places to meet people. I don't mean it because you know, but like you haven't spent enough time at the gym. You can't say that. You've never been to the gym. Because I know you like, I know, let me, how hard do you bro? Would you bro down? You're very busy

37:38now. But would you bro down with guys who are, you're playing pickup basketball with? I would for sure. Absolutely. I guess it's, I understand. I understand. But you're not on the elliptical. You're saying when you're lifting weights, right? But like when you're on the elliptical or you're, you're on the treadmill, you're not making friends there. Like that's not community driven. Is it is, I guess weightlifting would be. You're like there. You're like watching a guy do a bunch of sets. It's impressive. He's watching you do a bunch of sets. It's impressive. And then you guys bro down. But I don't think you have that experience on in cardio. Do you? No, but I think like you see each other in the locker room. Maybe if you're both in the schvitz and it just makes, and then what it tends to happen that people have the same schedule. So I'm able to hack it with my work schedule and go from one to three when there's no one there. So the people that can go from one to three are like me. Bums without nine to fives. They're always. They become my boys. They're my comments. My boy. Mohammed shadow. I like how you do the gun. Mohammed. Mohammed.

I don't know if you loved it, but we'll see. I've rapid fire questions for you.

42:51Okay, and I want to know these are very, very important questions, Josh. Would you rather always have slightly too much eye contact with someone or never enough? That doesn't make sense. Does it? Did it? It does rather have too much or it's never enough or I or for me there's never enough. Would you rather have slightly too much eye contact with someone like somebody who never, ever, ever deviates? They're just staring you down or someone that always looks at the floor. Yeah, I think you'd want to have connection with people, right? You'd want to have a little eye contact, sure. But more eye contact than I think so. But when somebody is locked in on you, it also borders on a little creepy. No, I definitely don't want the person looking at the floor. I totally agree with you. But did this straight eye contact? It's a lot. Yeah, they look at the floor. I worry they've got a weapon in their duffle bag, but if they're searing straight at me,

43:52I'm like, you know, are we going to arm wrestle? Are you okay? That's a big thing, are you okay? All right, is it worse to be known as cheap? I don't like this one. Is it worse to be known as cheaper, dramatic? Do you like that one? No, go to another one. It's kind of lame. Would you rather give up hot showers forever or air conditioning forever? Oh, I'd give up hot showers because the shower is only, you know, 30 minutes at worst, but you're in an air-conditioned vestibule for 23 hours a day. Never take a hot shower again. I live in air conditioning. I need it. See, it's no question, but I will certainly miss. There's a time and place for a hot shower. There's a time and place. It's like a warm hug. You come in. New York's 24 inches of snow. You're freaking feet. You accidentally let the snow into your feet. Your socks, freezing cold. Your foot is an ice block, Josh. You hop into that hot shower and it starts to melt away.

44:55You'll never have that again. But yeah, it's a good trade. I think it's a good trade. It's a necessary evil. It's a trade. Clean, cleanse the sins. Clench the way. Clench the sins. So true. Do you have a mess by the week? I do. I do. I do. I have one that I had recently and it was pretty crazy. I have a great one. I have a great one. You go, though. You go. You go. I recently, there's this killer Chinese food restaurant right by our house. And it just opened and it has like more Shanghai inspired. Let me tell you, I don't know what they're doing here. Friday night, we go to nice Chinese food Friday night. They're like Tony soprano. And they had fried tofu. They take ultra-silken soft tofu, deep fry it. And then they put on like a teriyaki and a cupimeo kind of drizzle. What an app. What an app, my G.

45:55Unbelievable. How big were these pieces of tofu? Big. They were big. Big scub adjacent. That's interesting that the okay, and now I need to try it. Because in my head, whenever I get big pieces of fried tofu, I always feel like I'm eating too much tofu. But I love when they give you the small little, they almost look like, you know, there's mini jet puff marshmallows, there's little mini marshmallows. If you get that size tofu, I love that when it's crispy. Okay, but I got to try that. That sounds absolutely fantastic. All right, my best bite of the week is Yasuo. You know Yasuo. You know that, right? Yeah, Yasuo. Yasuo. They came out. Sorry. They should have done a collab with them. They came out with full pints of ice cream. I had. It was the most delicious 400 calorie ice cream I've ever had. Sometimes, you don't want the hogging does.

46:56Of course, delicious, 1100 calories. On the other side, they have those like healthy brands that end up giving you diarrhea. I'm not going to name them 280 calories. But they don't taste good. They taste like water and they give you diarrhea. This Yasuo 400 calories for an entire pint. It was my best bite of the week. You must try it. Delicious. You don't feel guilty polishing off a pint. What's 400 calories? You could have a pint today. It's nothing. A pint. A brick-in day. Josh, you got a, what are you nuts? Yeah, what are you nuts moment of the week? Our gripes with people places and things, both big and tall, whatever's sticking in your craw. My, what are you nuts moment of the week? Our God strike me down reboots. I've been in a lot of them. I'm not sure any of them are great. I recently saw and shout out the great Zach Braff and Bill Lawrence. They're doing a scrubs reboot and they're on this billboard and it's great. You know what reboots scream out to me when I see the billboards of them? You know how people when they're terminally ill, they have a moment of lucidity before they die?

47:56Yeah. Yeah. That's what I do. It feels like, it feels like for 20 minutes, God goes, all right, I'm going to give you back a little bit of life. And it's just, it's, it's just a blip before the end. I don't know, man. I just, I, I kind of know what do you think, right? They're not, they're nuts and it's hard to say that as a fan because you never want it to be over. But I knew it was over when Shaquille O'Neal went to the Phoenix Suns. That's the equivalent of a reboot. When Shaquille O'Neal went to the Boston Celtics, these are reboots. His prime was so over, he was so done watching him was sad and I love Shack. That to me is the equivalent of a reboot. It's sad at this point. It's done. The magic was there. It's over. It, it can't possibly be replicated again. So by the way, as a fan though, get your money.

48:59I'll still watch it. But if you're trying to like, they're amazing. They're all great. Yeah. But in the end of the day, if you're, if you're looking to go out on top, you don't do a reboot, for sure. I just, and like obviously I was in how I met your father, which was amazing, but it wasn't the original cast. It was a completely separate show. So I don't consider that a reboot. I don't consider that a reboot. That's a spin off, right? That's not a reboot. Right. Or like Turner and Hooch didn't have any of the original people. And we still failed. But, um, but Max and I like to watch it sometimes before bed. And we have to get it from a torrented version that someone got me from an Eastern European, um, from some kind of weird VPN. Because they've, they've erased it from, from history. But yeah, I just end shot it. Obviously, you shot out to scrubs. It's amazing and Jack Braff and Bill Lawrence there. They've crushed in life. Yes. My whatty and nuts moment of the week, Josh, is when you're at a restaurant,

50:02okay, you're cruising through the menu. You're looking at appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts. It looks great. You flip the page. You're expecting to see a drink menu and you see the word libations. What do you nuts? It's a drink menu. Okay. I don't want this fake libations. Can I introduce you in a libation? Like shut the fuck up your yardhouse. I don't need to see your libations menu. Okay, I don't, these four drinks. Give me a margarita. Libations. What do you nuts? So, double B is here's a list of our libations. Is our libations. Would you like our cherry apple teeny? No, I wouldn't. Okay, get out of here. Ah, Josh, you know what else is a whatty and nuts? Not giving this episode five stars. That's a whatty and nuts. Would you like a libation with your buffalo blast? Sorry. Yes. I'd love a buffalo libation. Five stars, otherwise whatty and nuts.
