Tell me, is there a better feeling than getting a ticket, last minute, great seat for a fraction of the price? It is the greatest thrill. The best. I have such a sickness, Josh. I will do that for Nick games. And then throughout the entire first quarter, I will still watch StubHub just to see if I could have gotten a better deal. Oh, I do that all the time.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I'm literally like sitting there, not watching the game at all. Just monitoring. Did I get fucked on StubHub or did I catch a great deal? Oh, it's so good.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I could make myself sick with flights. Yeah. Normally flights only go up. You ever see flights go down?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I'm trying to think what I've ever walked out of. I definitely walked out of whatever the last Grown Ups was. Wow.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I think I walked out of Grown Ups 3. And there are definitely others. That I remember watching and thinking, this is the worst movie I've ever seen.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
By the way, throw on Paige's mic. She's there. Throw on her mic.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
By the way, good way to call your time back. Fuck them. They already got your money. They can't also get your time.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
The first one was fine. The second and third or whatever were so horrendously awful. And you see them if you're as big. I'm an enormous Adam Sandler fan. I'll see every Adam Sandler movie. He comes out with something. I'll watch it. Same. And but those movies are really bad. Like the I think that when all of them come together, like it just doesn't work. Schneider, Chris Rock.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
What's his name from Kevin James? Too much. Too much. I'm trying to think who's to blame. I think it might be Kevin James. Really? Yeah, I really only like him in King of Queens. Beyond that, I'm not a Paul Blart guy. Like, I think he's kind of, he was a sitcom man. He wasn't made for the big screen.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Oh, yeah, that was a fun game last week. Where me guessing what you've seen when you've seen nothing. Yes, yes, yes.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah. I read something yesterday. Not read. Saw on a TikTok. Whenever I say I read, I saw it on a TikTok. I saw on a TikTok yesterday, Josh, that we are as far from 1990 as 1955 was in 1990. Yeah, dude. That's really fucked up.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
No, I know. Trust me, I know. Honestly, 90s and 80s are really cool. Olivia, no shade. 2000's not it.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Olivia was two on 9-11. 1999 might be the best because you still get to be a 90s kid, but like you're young and youthful.

Folks, if you've traveled abroad, you know what a huge difference the food over in Europe feels like for your gut compared to the U.S. I went to visit my sister in Florence. Year was probably 2016. I was svelte, incredibly skinny. This is pre-Ozempic.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
We're talking really, really skinny. I go overseas. I go to eat all this pasta, pizza. I'm worried. I'm worried I'm going to gain weight. I'm worried I'm not going to feel good. I'm eating the pasta. I'm eating the pizza. I'm thinking to myself, God, I feel great. What could be the difference? Maybe it's that the stuff in the United States is a bunch of crap.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Well, folks, I have an amazing, amazing opportunity here, which is if you get BioNature, you're getting tomatoes that were homegrown in Italy, brought over to the US.

No, they weren't thinking that. The sequel to Duolingo. It's a cool lingo. No, they were thinking that it's cool. Look, the times were cooler. It's just a fact. Social media destroyed us. There was just less pressure. It was cooler. It was chiller. That's it. Now you have to work really, really hard to carve out that safe space.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
But back then, everything was safe space because lives weren't amplified like that.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Bro. So what is Max's number one sport? What are we really pushing him towards these days?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
That's fine. He probably has uncle's pigeon toes. It's very difficult to have sports like that. But baseball is lateral, right? I guess you have to run the bases. But I feel like you go very side to side when you're fielding. It's good on the arm. I like baseball for Max. That's good. That's good. Also, great scholarship. So many players.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It's not like you're fighting for like five spots on a basketball team. Nine. Nine. He also really likes golf.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
My dream. My dream. That's all I ever wanted. Yeah, I think we've spoken about this. All that I ever wanted was to be in the X Games. My dream, I have to dig these pictures out from somewhere, but I had trick blades, and my mom would take me to the Chelsea Piers halfpipe, and I would climb to the top of the halfpipe, and I'd get too scared, and I'd come down.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
All I wanted to do was fucking skateboard, and trick skate was what they called it. I had the skates with the little hole for the grinding. And of course, I never did it, but like... That's all I wanted. And I'm trying to remember his name. Danny something was like this BMX guy that was huge back in the day. I love that. So, yeah, if he wants to do it, power to him. Is it dangerous? For sure.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah, you're working. You're getting a nice continental breakfast at Courtyard Marriott. You're doing the least. Spring Hill Suites.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It was probably wise. It was probably wise. Even though I have seen there's like this like really, really big trick blader. Do the kids still call it trick blading? They should. Or do we just call it rollerblading? Or skating? What do we call it?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
But the kids are still trick skating. They're still going to their halftime with their skates.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Some sick K2s. Snowboarding, too, is another one. I bought a board. I could never could never do it. I couldn't get up. I would fall. I couldn't get up. It's all core skating. Like if you fall when you're skiing, you can just take off one ski and stand up with snowboarding. You need to physically get back up and use your core. I could never do it.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I don't think so. I feel like Heelys. When did Heelys come out?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Hell yeah. I was a big Razor scooter guy. Me too. You like Razors? Big time. Loved that. I even got the one they came out with a version that had actual wheels. They were these like big blue, like you had to put air in the tires. Oh, they were Razor. It's like an off-road. Yeah, they were sick. And I remember, I'm sure you remember the store Sharper Image. Of course. Sharper Image had the Razor.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
If you got a Razor anywhere else other than Sharper Image, knock off Razor. They had the Razor.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
So cool. That was what I did when I realized when I couldn't trick blade. Like I went to the scooter. Brookstone. Brookstone. Yes.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
What do you need? You need dollar bills for the strip club? Let me give you... Here, take $100 in ones.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I'm just saying, it sounds like you have another helping hand to problem solve. Like...
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah, but a nanny, you have to pay this person. You don't have to pay. They're there. It's free labor. Oh, you're paying. That's true.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I've heard this before, but I'm down if she wants to come on.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah. Yeah. I told this story like probably a couple months ago on the podcast. I had a friend who came back also from the Middle East and the person next to him died and they tarped him. Solid. Like this. It's crazy. Like, I don't like I don't I don't even get it. But I guess you just got to keep flying. They're already dead.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
We're blinded by looks. Blinded. Is that it? I think so. I think so. This episode of the good guys podcast is brought to you by booking.com booking. Yeah.

So I bet you that's what it is, Josh, because over the last 10 months, I've been very sparing, very sparing. And I said this yearly golf trip, very important to me. My game at an all time high. I'm seeking revenge. Last year I lost in singles. I need to win and I need to beat this. This one kid, his name is Blake. I need to beat him. This trip is important to me.

Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Of course, we're going into a gorgeous luxury hotel. We're, of course, going to want a beautiful patio or a terrace that overlooks the water. I need a kitchenette so I can wake up in the morning and make an omelet. Because why not? Why shouldn't I have a kitchenette? That would be nice, right? We want a comfy couch, maybe a pullout couch in case a friend wants to come and stay and Never mind.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
We're not getting a pull-out couch because we don't want anybody staying with us when we're on vacation. We need a king-size bed. Need I say more? A gorgeous beach vacation. And you know where I can find that gorgeous beach vacation? On Booking.com. Oh, wait. I also need a spa, maybe a sauna steam situation. Booking.com. Booking. Yeah. I can make sure that there's a gorgeous spa.

Literally throw everything on one pan and boom, you're done. Same with their tray bakes that even include the tray itself. My favorite recent meal from Marley Spoon was their sheet pan chicken.

Speaking of blinded by looks, I've been watching or I watch Love is Blind.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And I think because I haven't been superfluous with my requests, I now I'm not getting any shit.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I'm positive that you didn't watch it, but I will just say that it was the worst show I've ever seen in my life. Is it bad? I've seen past seasons where it's been tolerable. Like this was just like a bad show. And I'm here definitively to tell you, Josh, that love is most certainly not blind. It's not like it is a portion of love certainly is blind. You fall in love with somebody's person.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
personality, their heart, whatever it may be. But if you find them ugly, there's no looking past that. There just isn't. You have to have some type of physical attraction. It doesn't have to be the number one thing. But love is not blind.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
You know, it's interesting. I have a friend who does that, but he's always said that he liked a certain type of girl that just felt out of his league. No question. But that's always what he was shooting for. And then recently he showed up to a function with somebody that he was dating that was within his own zone.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
So I think that after years of rejection, he finally realized that he actually was a five and should be shooting fives. So no, I wouldn't, I haven't told anybody like, Hey bud, you're ugly. You should be looking for more ugly people to spend your time with. But I think like naturally either they'll get really lucky and they'll find a 10 that is just lack of a better word.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I don't know, brain dead, but normally I think you course correct. What do you think?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I love a settling moment. Me too. It's just like everybody wanted you for a decade and you were too hot. Right. And now you are so not. Okay.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
this girl josh you know okay do you actually think that she's good looking because i find that when girls say that a girl is a cat she's not she's very she she's extremely cute good looking girl but she's a bit of an emotional i think she her emotions can get the best of her sometimes but ken there's always something it's like my friend is perfect i don't know why nobody wants to date her it's like because she's not perfect like that's like there's something wrong
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It was terrible. Like usually at least there's like some good drama or like these people are interesting. Like this was just like the least interesting group of people.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
So entertaining. Like just a bold faced lie. But she was a good-looking girl. By the way, that's neither here nor there. Doesn't look like Megan Fox. Like, I think I'm a lovely-looking man. If I'm in a blind pod with you and I tell you I look like Brad Pitt, you're going to be disappointed.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
If I said John Mayer and I walked out, somebody would be disappointed.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah. But like, if you had said that and then you walked out now, I'd be disappointed.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
They're broke, she said. They're broke. Payment plan?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I've heard saffron is wonderful for the body, Josh. That's a supplement that I've heard that we need. Jesus rice. Saffron.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Saffron. A kitchen appliance that's cheap, but is really good. It doesn't exist. Honestly, like I can't think of an appliance. I do have a favorite new sauce. I don't know if you guys are overweight, but if you are, it's a nice diet sauce. It's a company called Melinda's and they make Thai sweet chili that is 10 calories for one tablespoon. That is out of this world. Melinda's Thai sweet chili.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
No, too expensive. Waffle maker. They're cheap as shit on Amazon. They're amazing. And you can use your waffle maker for so many things, Josh. Not only waffles, but if you wanted to make crispy rice, you could put rice in the waffle maker and make it nice and crispy and put a little spicy tuna on top. Get a waffle maker. I love that. Or a panini press. Or a crepe maker. Hot.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Oh, that's good. That's good for making good soups. But they're too broke to own pots, Paige. No.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
They don't have any pots and pans. They're a doctor and a nurse. She specifically said we're aspiring doctor and nurse and we are broke.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
She's trying to bang. Yeah. Here's the thing. It's kind of, it's annoying for sure. They are paying though. They're obviously paying, right? I think so. I think it is weird to need adjoining rooms. Like let them be. It's nuts. I agree. It's nuts. Leave them alone. I think so too. You're going to see them the whole day, the whole trip.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Benjamin, how the hell are you? I'm wonderful because I'm looking at three different shades of green. I'm looking at your gorgeous green long sleeve. I'm looking at that green mountain water in your green ashwagandha can. It's looking fantastic. Oh, and the green tree behind you. So much green. It really is. I'm wonderful. I'm feeling excellent.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
You don't have to be, you don't have to like hear your son canoodling too much. Yeah. I'm yeah. No need. No need. We're out. We're out on the adjoining room. I'm out on the adjoining room. I can't even, the only time that you would need an adjoining room is when you're, your kids are young. Like that's nice, right?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I feel terrible for the guy sitting next to you on the plane on a same-day cigar trip.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Like you have the parents have a room with their bed and then it adjoins with the kids that have two twins. Like that's the only time you need it for a family. Sure. But they've grown past that stage.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
That's no good. You probably smell terrible. Not good. Not good. I love, I actually hate, I was about to say I love a cigar. I hate cigars. I love the idea of them so much, but I just, I'm just a bad cigar smoker. If I smoke a cigar, I have to get those little short stories as they call them. And then I just feel like a wuss.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I love this woman. Me too. I love her. This happens to me every single time I leave my building. Like I sometimes wear shorts in the winter because like once like 300 pounds, always 300 pounds. Like you just like do things like that. Like you wear basketball shorts with a winter coat. And I'll always get that like, oh, you're going to get sick. It's like, mind your business. That's it.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Tell this person it's enough. Like, I'm not going to get sick. I drive to work every day. I'm outside for 30 seconds. I don't need a coat. I would just be upfront and honest and say, thanks for your opinion, but I don't need a coat. Josh?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Totally. People are too nosy. Like people need to shut the fuck up. Like it's enough. Like these aren't your kids. What if we maybe maybe we want to expose our kids to a little bit more cold, right?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Hermetic stressor. Yeah. So they can deal with cold. Like, I don't know. I think we blow this whole cold thing out of proportion. Be cold for a minute. Learn to deal with it. And then forever, like, isn't that a thing, Josh? Like, think about a cold plunge. If you get cold exposure early, like, maybe you can deal with the cold longer or you just get the flu and die. I don't know.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Like, if they get cold enough, they'll put a sweatshirt on.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Like I'm sitting next to my brother-in-law who's chiefing down like a foot long cigar. And I'm here with this short story that I can barely get through without vomiting. Like it's just so emasculating. Emasculinating?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Correct. Josh, what was that when we were when we were by the beach when I came to your house, like probably a year ago at this point, and it was like a little bit cold and there was that girl yelling at her mom about her coat. Do you remember that? Yeah. Yeah. What did she say? I don't even remember.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I have a good one. I was wrestling between which one to do, but because Paige is here, she can definitely relate to this. I mean, in New York, we have all of these wonderful parks anyways. We have all these wonderful parks, but being an expecting father, BH, I'm like taking a deeper look at the parks. Like, which parks are nice? Where would I like to take him?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And I can't stop thinking, Josh, about the fact that all of these slides are metal. And remembering when I was a kid... going down that metal slide in 95 degrees and literally burning the bottoms of my thighs. Like, what are you nuts that these slides, these New York, I don't know if it's just a New York thing, but these New York slides are just made of metal and get boiling hot.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
All the monkey bars get boiling hot. Like, what are you nuts? These are children. It's more common in New York. It's insane.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
They take steel pipes and they use them to make the slides.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Oh, my God. That is even more of a what are you nuts? Yeah. Like, what is this concrete slides? You can at least the metal slide. You can slide down. At least it's fast and fun. Concrete is slow.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Nuts. I'm totally with you. What do you want me to do with that information? Who even cares? No, no one. No one cares. No one cares. I feel the same way about birthdays. You're like, oh, my. I'm like, my birthday's April 3rd.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Mine is April 8th. Who cares? Who gives a shit? I'm a Scorpio. Me too. You want to do our birthdays together? Like, is that what you're pining for? Like, I just met you. And they're five days apart.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck

Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
That's fascinating. Okay. So I should be experimenting with longer cigars, but I've also heard I used to, you can't smoke one that's too dark. I have to smoke the lighter ones, the ones that are too dark or too heavy. So I need a long light one.

We haven't spoken about your love and aficionado for cigars.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Thousand percent. Have you been to Club Macanudo in New York?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah, I love that. I love like a nice cigar bar is sick. And I just love smoking inside.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And Olivia Page, feel free to chime in. Something heavy, something heavy that like you need help getting through. Like honestly, like maybe like a really heavy Italian meal. I think that would be perfect for a nice smoke. Just help calm the tummy, allow you to eat more, punish you later, but in the moment you're enjoying. Yes. I think that I can't imagine anything worse than a cigarette and sushi.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
That just doesn't seem right. It's not right. It's not right. And like a piece of bluefin, like it's like caught on the roof of your mouth or the top of your lip because of your dry mouth. Like I can just envision like a piece of Toro just hanging from the top lip. Not good. No. What about you?
Good Guys

I don't know if we updated these wonderful people, but I was sick as a dog, sick as a dog. And now I'm back feeling fantastic. I have a golf trip this weekend, Josh. I can't think about anything else. And to the Carolinas? To Tampa, Josh, to Tampa, to northern Tampa. It's called Cabot Citrus Farms. Love it. And I am incredibly excited. This was a been planned for 10 months.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
A nice lamb dish. A hearty lamb dish. Yes. Cut through the gaminess.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I recently was at a wedding, Josh, where they had hookah. Oh, what a treat. That's hot. Hookah's it. Hookah's it. We don't smoke enough hookah.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And I'm thinking the reason hookah is such a vibe is because it's really dangerous. You know, you know, like those hot boiling hot coals. You always feel like you're doing something a little wrong. Like it's so much. And it's delicious. Like bar everything that we just said. It's the original vape. So much more tasty. Apple mint. It's delicious.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Thank you. I love learning new things about you, Josh. I didn't know the love for hookah, the deep love for hookah. And now I'm thinking that we need a hookah episode. Me and you, our next in person, we're going to have a hookah in the middle.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
This is our Patreon, Josh. This is this is the concept for Patreon. We do the podcast, but in weird places.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I said, Claudia, this is happening. So please just get it in your head over the last 10 months. I'll be leaving you for the weekend. I'm so sorry, but become comfortable with it. And I have to say, Josh, I can't believe it, but she really is not upset with me. She is very happy that I'm going. And that means that I have done well over the last 10 months in tempering expectations.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It just does. I would like you to stop arguing about it.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And then you literally DM me, stop bothering Olivia with it. Let's handle it here on the side. But back to the S25 Ultra that actually has 8K resolution on video and an audio eraser, Josh. Yes, with Galaxy AI. With Galaxy AI. And let me tell you, I've been thinking about this, okay? What is the perfect thing for us to use our beautiful, brand new S25 Ultrason, Josh?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Episode one, a steam room. Josh and I are in there. We're filming at 8K resolution. But, you know, maybe the steam room, the ticker is ticking a little bit too much. Or maybe the steam. Yes, there's a little bit too much steam and we want to get rid of that unwanted noise. Boop. No problem with Galaxy AI. We can easily lift it using the audio eraser. It's fantastic.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Or Josh, second episode on the train tracks. Me and you in between subway cars. We do a quick, quick one minute Patreon in the middle. But all of a sudden you hear the train coming. You hear the train coming. We don't want people to hear that.

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by Spot and Tango. The only gate I'm keeping is my yard, folks, which is why I have to share the game changer that is Spot and Tango dog food. After trying so many foods, Romeo and I were a little skeptical, but since switching, nothing has made the difference like Spot and Tango.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Spot and Tango is a personalized dog food subscription that delivers high quality, ready to serve meals, snacks, and supplements right to your door. So no more last minute pet store runs. I used to hate feeding first Theo rest in peace. Then Romeo mystery kibble filled with processed meats and fillers. Food is medicine and our dogs deserve the best.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
With Spot and Tango, I finally know exactly what's in their bowl. Fresh, human-grade ingredients like high-quality protein and veggies, no fillers, no junk, just real food for dogs. Why shouldn't they have real food? Most kibble is packed with fillers and mystery ingredients. Who knows what it really is? What are you, nuts? But Spot and Tango does things differently.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Their unkibble meals are made with human-grade ingredients, including USDA meat, fruits, and veggies. No artificial stuff, no preservatives. Using their fresh-dry process, fresh ingredients are gently cooked and freeze-dried to lock in nutrients, creating a shelf-stable, nutrient-rich meal that is as close to home-cooked as it gets without the hassle.

And when I tell you, Jackie, these like non-Jewish toasters and spritzers will come up to me and say Ben BH, and that is my legacy. Okay, that and Celebrity Chef is my legacy.

That's really it. But things are great.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
She said, it's a new rug. I don't want your shoes staining it. So please remove them. I said, but people are going to comment that my dogs are out to play and I don't want that kind of slander. So I'm just setting the record straight before we start. While I am more comfortable like this, this was not my doing.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I'll never, I'll never let beat the crunch go. And I beat the crunch just so everybody knows I beat it.
The Toast

Okay. Is it you?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I was just curious.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Is it? Well, see, this is the thing. The rug is dirty then. Then the rug is dirty. These are clean socks. I just put them on.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Famed? No. Mascogne? How can it be famed with a name like that?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Well, has Claudia told you, I'm sure she has, about our relationship with Post Malone?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, so first of all, we have no relationship. Let me just like say that. But we could have had a really, we could be best friends right now. This is like, it was an incredibly fumbled ball on our collective parts, but we could have been besties. Think about, I don't know, Jackie, maybe it was 2014. White Iverson had just come on the scene. White Iverson. Ever since I was born and I was young.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
White Iverson came on the scene, Post Malone chopping the charts.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Chopping the tarts. And we get a message from Post Malone's manager that he and she are sorrelies. And they want us to meet Post and hang out. And if we wanted to, Post Malone was doing a private concert at Tao Downtown. And if we wanted to come on a table with them and hang out, they'd love to have us. So Claudia and I, we're in our club in Arrow. We go downtown and we're on a table.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Oh, man. Yeah, I see it, too. They're going to love that. All right. What can we do?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Me, Claudia Post Malone, managers, agents. He's literally he's next to us. He's singing. He's performing. We're hanging out. Goes well. Next day, we're all chatting. It's all good. They then invited us to something else he was performing at, like some music festival. Yeah, I remember. We said, yes, we're going to be there. We're going to go. We went. We had a great time.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
And then I don't know what happened, Jackie, but the fun times just abruptly stopped. These fun times. We stopped getting the invite. We don't know what happened.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's entirely possible. I say a lot of things. I do. I do. Especially you get, you get a little alcohol in me and you never know what I could say. Maybe I offended him. I doubt it though. I'm honestly, I'm a, I'm a really nice guy. Yeah.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, no. I don't know what it was, but yeah.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It was just a moment in time. Us post Malone. And now he has a new lover and we wish them well. I don't know if we'll be invited to the wedding. I think that like that's like 50 50 due to our relationship these days. But yeah, we wish him well. And I'd send him a gift if we had his address, but we don't.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, but you never know. Like things move quickly, you know, especially if she's not in Hollywood, Jackie, and somebody's talking about her.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Me too. No, I don't sit around and think about Post Malone's potential love life. I don't.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I understand. You know, so who is Post Malone? I would have thought, honestly, that Post Malone was still with his, like, high school girlfriend and that they might have been quietly married. I didn't know that he wasn't married. I didn't know that he was single. I didn't know any of this. I feel like he had a long-term girlfriend for a—didn't he have, like, a high school sweetheart?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I don't know what happened, but I feel like he did.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
There you go.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
So that's why I thought that.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I think they were together for a while. And yeah, he seems lovely. Incredibly eligible bachelor.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
And Ben's foot. Yeah. Yeah, Ben's foot. But... Yeah, how are you? How are you? I'm good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Who's the top five on the list right now?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I love the list, except for one name, Jackie. Am I allowed to remove somebody from the list?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Trevor Noah? What are you, nuts?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I'm sure she does, and how unbelievably annoying he is when he hosts an award show.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's just people who... You have to like somebody for them to be eligible for...
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Fine. If it's up to me, I remove Trevor Noah. Let me hear the women's list and I'll see if I'll remove anybody.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Okay, so this is a horrible list. 50% are taken, 50% are duplicates.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, so uninspired. And, like, I don't even know if... I don't know if anybody on that list... Is anybody on that list even looking for true love? Like, I don't know. Maybe... That's still that's still single. Like, for example, Selena Gomez. I don't know if you guys talk about them. Her and Benny Blanco. I love them.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, I think that this is real love. I see it. And I'm like, this is real love. This is real love. I just I have to like I call it as I see it, Jackie. I call it as I see it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yes, I like them together a lot. I do.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
That's it, just sharing.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Even though, are they two good people for the list anymore? Could they be more?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I didn't even know that. If you don't, I'm just saying, if you don't cross Ben Saffer celebrities page, like if, if I don't see you, then you're not that popular.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
interesting you know what i mean i do i do i do okay all right it's a fun exercise and it allows us not to have to grieve relationships when they end so we'll be you guys will be re-tinkering the list and then once you have it you can send it to me and i'll give you my comment then but yeah the female list is is not ready for publishing no no no we're not inking it we're not inking it are you ready for our next story

The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
That stinks.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Very scary. I don't have anything like great to say, but like it's it's 2025. Like, thank God we're so advanced. Right. I have a feeling that like your chances of beating something like that have never been better. Right? Like, if this was a different point in time, you would be really worried.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, no, in some time.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I have to think, even though I'm an Eastern man, and I'm sure there are some Eastern techniques that the Western takes over when you have cancer. And I... God willing, she's she's fine. But I believe the word is metastasized is what's happening with her where you get it and it metastasizes. It spreads throughout. I know that because of Theo, not to compare Teddy and Theo, but it's the same name.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, but I. Theo, when he got cancer, they were like, yeah, you could remove it from his pelvis, but it's everywhere. It just like it just starts to spread. It sounds like she caught it. She's monitoring it. And there are like those I don't know the name of them, but like there are those like full body scans that I don't want to do because I'm way too much of like a hypochondriac.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
In some time. I saw this studio be built from rubble. So I knew what it looked like. I haven't sat in this slightly warm chair, but it is slightly warm. It is gorgeous. That is certainly true. The lighting is pristine. It looks like at least a million dollars was spent in here. The show must be doing well. And yeah, you know, it's a gorgeous, gorgeous, swirly vibe.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Nouveau something. I'm way too much of a hypochondriac. I don't want to know what's going on in my body like that. Yeah.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, it sounds like she caught it early. So yeah.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's funny. I only know Teddy Mellencamp because Michael and Lauren had her on Him and Hers and sent me a picture of the three of them saying, Teddy loves Spritz Society Pink Lemonade. Can you send her some? So we sent her some like a couple months ago. That's the only reason I know Teddy.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I'm just obsessed with Desperate Housewives. In terms of like Real Housewives, I'm just stuck in a different era. Yeah, you're still on Lisa Rinna. Even though I did do Aaron and Abe Licky are coming out with a new podcast. And I actually did their podcast last night. I'm one of their first episodes that comes out in April.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No clue. Not anymore. No clue. But all press is good press. Fingers crossed. Nobody told me not to say anything, so I don't know. But I'm an early guest, and so that's who I know from the new season. And besides that, I'm, like, stuck in, like, old OG New York and New Jersey, like...

Is that the expression?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
That's the phrase. To Desperate Housewives. Literally the greatest fucking show ever made. I'm watching these episodes.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But they both have housewives, so that's why I'm comparing them.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
That makes sense. Well, the fictional Desperate Housewives, I'm sure every single toaster has seen Desperate Housewives. But if you haven't seen it within the last, I don't know, six years, you forgot everything. It's worth a rewatch. And it's so good. I'm obsessed.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's so good. And like, I think Brie, it's just Brie. It's Brie all day.

I'm Brie. You're Brie. Together we are Brie. We're both like different sides of the coin of Brie. Yeah. But Brie, yeah, together we are Brie.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Interesting. Okay. I think that I am a Brie. No, the rest of it is a Brie Mrs. McCluskey.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
By the way, I'll take it. Even though he's nuts.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I love Mrs. McCluskey. And rest in peace, Ida Roth. I don't know why they killed the only Jew. This old woman, they killed her. Like, they didn't have to kill her. Yeah, it's not much of a spoiler. She's like such a minor character anyways. But like, yeah, Mrs. McCluskey. She's great. Love that woman so much.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Just like a tough broad. She would have been in the League of Their Own. You ever see that movie?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like she was she was a professional softball player, Mrs. McCluskey. So like tough broad.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
And I'm excited to be in the swirly vibe.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, honestly, we don't use the word broad enough. Tough broad.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Okay, what else?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I didn't see any clips. I saw the episode though.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, that was weird. We'll talk about it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's just unnecessary.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I've been told by my publicist that I can't talk about the frames.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Mountbatten Windsor. Okay.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Even if like my, my problem wasn't with Sussex. My problem would have also been with Mountbatten Windsor. It's just like such an unnecessary thing to correct Mindy Kaling in that setting. Yeah. Like if somebody in, if you're, if you're doing a cooking reel with Mindy Kaling and she calls you Jackie Ashrae, are you saying, no, it's Jackie Weiner?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, like if you can like lift the publicist, like I think like they're like fine.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like, no, that doesn't cross your mind for six seconds. Unless you have, unless you have such a chip on your shoulder, which is what that showed me.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
A thousand percent.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, what's your last name? I would love to know that too. I'm definitely curious. But yeah, what were your thoughts on the show in general?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I love them. That's what my publicist told me to say. I love the frames.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
So we like to consume the same type of content. Like I could literally – I could sit and watch. Unfortunately, I've watched all of them so I can't again. But like I could watch Barefoot Contessa for 40 straight hours to your point because I'm learning something from somebody who I know is incredibly knowledgeable. And if I go to make that – It's going to be great.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I don't know. I think they're fine.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
My issue with Megan's show – and I only watched the Mindy Kaling episode, so I didn't even know about the crafts and this. I just know about the cooking. And my problem with it is if you're not an expert chef, which like again – Me, I'm not, but my angle, or at least the angle that I try to portray is that I try and make it funny. Like you have to make it entertaining.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
A thousand percent. I'm saying that if you're not an expert chef, you need something else. Like it's not – I'm not watching her and thinking I'm going to make that frittata that you just dumped everything bagel seasoning on. Like that's weird as hell. I like that frittata. It's just like I just don't get it. Like I – I didn't understand it. And like, it felt very dry.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yes, that she's my publicist and she's hoping not to talk about the frames.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It felt very like trying to be like Martha Stewart, but Martha is so incredibly credible. Like, like you can't be Martha Stewart without the credibility of Martha Stewart. You can be Megan Markle in your own way to your point of, you know, I now have this new title, Duchess of Sussex. And yeah, You know, I needed to learn how to cook. So I sort of self-taught myself.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
And here are my favorite recipes that I want to share with you.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah. But like I mentioned this, like when you guys were building the studio that I was just like fine on frames, but like I didn't need them. That's all. Nothing negative or positive. I'm neutral on frames. Truthfully neutral. But this chair, this is the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Or that, or that, or that. I have two kids.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, agreed.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, who is so unbelievably aspirational. I don't aspire for one minute, sorry, to be Meghan Markle or to be in that kitchen and replace her. I want Martha. I want everything that Martha has. Like, I watch an episode of anything Martha does. I'm like, I want her Hamptons house. I want her garden. I want her brain around her ability to just cultivate a vibe.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like, that's one thing, at least for me, that I know is missing. I definitely know... my way around the kitchen, I do wish that I knew how to throw everything together. Like how to just like meticulously plan the perfect dinner would be something that I would love to know how to do. Like Claudia always sets the table. Claudia is so good at that. She knows how to like bring things together.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But like Martha does A to Z with purpose and perfection. And like I love watching that because I love to learn that stuff.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
There are so many people better suited to teach you about how to make a garden. This is the problem.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, but so she should have her gardener on to explain to us how to make a garden.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
That's pretty cool. Yeah. So she has bees and she makes her own honey?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
This is, you could, if you have like a fight with Zach, you could sleep in this chair.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I did not realize that she was launching products.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
What's a flower sprinkle?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But like nobody needs to see how you make avocado toast.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, I just don't need that on TV. Okay. OK, personally, personally, I don't need it. I need to watch Ina Garten show me that if you take puff pastry and roll it into a hot dog like that's what I that's what I need.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I have a little bit, but not enough.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Have you ever watched Masterclass? No.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah. So I've only seen it on the plane. Like whenever I'm on a plane.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But they have like.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I guess they must show episodes as like an ad to download Masterclass. Yeah. So it's on the plane. And so like I will watch.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I will watch 10 episodes of an Italian chef on how to make like 10 dishes. But like, it's so unbelievably interesting because they are making things from scratch that you've never heard of, never thought of that. Like you should watch those. They're so good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Jackie, I could literally crisscross. I'm enormous and I can crisscross and sit in this chair. Like, are you kidding me? This is the king's chair.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I have made my own tomato sauce. I've always made it accidentally a little bit too sugary. Oh, interesting. Because, like, I like sweet sauce.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
What's in it?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I've actually made, if you want to go back and look at it, the first Reel I ever made with Miss Alex Garnaschelli was fresh pasta and fresh tomato sauce.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's not hard at all. You do need the pasta maker.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, for the KitchenAid, the attachments so that you can make it nice and thin. But it really, it's not hard. One thing just to be aware of, it cooks like that.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like it's not, it's literally, it's a minute.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like a minute and it's cooked. Dried pasta takes eight to 10 minutes. Fresh pasta cooks immediately.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
So don't overdo it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I don't bake.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I don't bake. If I start making unhealthy things, like, I'm already, like, on Monjaro and can't lose weight. Like, if I start baking, I'm done.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yes, yes. It allows you to lounge. It's very Pesach adjacent.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, she also didn't have weight loss or weight maintenance in mind. Like, yes, you can eat whatever you want as long as you make it and be a healthy person. Are you going to be a skinny person doing that?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
You're going to be a fat, healthy person.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
A hundred percent. This is my current problem. I'm eating so much good stuff.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But I'm eating, but I'm eating, but I'm just overeating. I'm just overeating. Yeah. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
This is me. This is me.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah. I didn't, I didn't eat any corn. So good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I was going to say, all that I take away is that Mindy Kaling is a good friend.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Crushing. Great. Amongst the slander. Yay. No, it's really great. I love it. Josh and I have a lot of fun. If you don't listen to good guys, like, what the hell are you doing? What are you nuts? You should. We actually are recording with, like, such an unbelievably cool guest later today. Like, we're done with the guest episodes for the most part because, like, sometimes they're good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I also love Mindy Kaling. I love the Mindy Project. I thought it was very strange that all they spoke about was the office. Like, no, Mindy Project. I know Mindy Kaling was on the office, but Mindy Project is in the Hall of Fame. So good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
You haven't seen the Mindy Project?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Okay, I'm just stunned because, like, it's great.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's great and you'd love it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
We want more people.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It sounds good. Yeah, Mindy Project is a good one.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I don't remember. It was a hot mess.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
So they canceled it, they filmed it, paid these people, and then canned it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's funny. I definitely would have watched it because, like, I'm a big CW guy. I don't know if you know this, but, like, I had a real— I mean, Afterdale, of course.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, exactly. Riverdale. And then after Riverdale, I went in—Claudia didn't even watch this. I watched on my own the reboot of Sabrina.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
With I forget her name. What's that? Yes. I love that shit. It wasn't like a good show, but I loved it. Like I love that. I love that stuff. So like I feel like I would have given this show a chance. I'm just happy that I didn't have the chance to give it a chance because you get enough from the trailer that this would have been so bad. So bad. So bad.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It has to be funny. Like the only way to do that is humor. Like bad Santa, right? Like if you're going to take Santa Claus and make him like an angry drunk... it better be funny. Like humor is the only way that you get an exception to ruining something. If you're ruining it seriously and like making Powerpuff Girls have anxiety and alcoholism, it's just nuts.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yes. Yeah. I'm sure that the person who approved it didn't also can it. I'm sure those are two different people. And the person who approved it probably no longer works at the company.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Because it looks like they spent a lot of money, Jackie, between talent. Like it wasn't poorly filmed.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It still felt like they spent millions.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I'm sure that you can find it on TikTok because nothing's removed from TikTok.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
We were saved. It was no good. No bueno. No bueno.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like, we prefer just to do solos.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like, and the people prefer solo. So we try and keep guests to a minimum these days. We used to do, like, four guests a month. Now it's, like, max two guests a month.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No sugar. No sugar is key.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yes. Yes. Before you get to the next ad, what do you think of when you hear high?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Hi. Hi. Hiya. What movie is that from?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But we have, like, an unbelievable guest that we're recording with later that I don't think I can tell everybody. But, like, I'll tell you.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Heavyweights.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's how they greet Jerry Stiller and his wife in the camp. Hi. Hi. Hiya.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, it's one of the big misses of his career. The problem is he was a little, he was too young. He was also, we actually recently spoke about this on Good Guys. Like you guys are fucking missing out if you're not listening to Good Guys. We spoke about how like Mighty Ducks is also just such an unbelievable franchise. And he also just missed Mighty Ducks because he's just a little too young.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But like the way that he was born for heavyweights and for Mighty Ducks, like he would have been so good in those movies.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like he's going to he's going to absolutely hate my answer. Drake and Josh.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
OK, well, yeah, he's probably skipping it. No, not high, though. OK. Yeah. Drake and Josh was my favorite show of all time. Like, oh, why is that a bad answer? It's just because it's not like newly acclaimed work.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
He was so great in Oppenheimer. Drake and Josh was my favorite show ever. Do you know what's my favorite Josh? I watched it with my whole family.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I have to watch that again.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Okay, wow. No, he's so versatile. He's so good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, yeah, I'll text it to you. My phone's, like, over here. Okay.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
He does it all. He's so good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, you're gonna care and everyone's gonna care.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
You can also go to row.co slash good guys.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I love doing ads.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I do all the good guys' ads. Every single one of them.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025

Yes. A thousand percent.
The Toast

You can use all of them. Just use them. If you don't use them. Yeah, go.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, no, I'm done extending the ad break. It's too long. Go.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, we made the ad break 15 minutes. My bad.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's my fault. My bad. My bad.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
We're nothing if not fun.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Take a peek, Jax. Take a peek.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
A thousand percent. But people, use your codes. Okay.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, yeah. It's a huge, it's probably, we've had some big guests. Like we've had Hilary Duff, who was like amazing. We've had Miranda Cosgrove, who was amazing. John Stamos. We've gotten like really cool guests. I would say that this is, in my opinion, the best guest we've gotten so far.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Wow, tough song. Why didn't she sing it? Wait, why didn't she sing an original?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
One of her originals.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
You know my manifestation abilities are like through the roof, right? Like you're aware of this. Like if I like want something, like I'm going to get it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, I want Claudia to be on Masked Singer.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, but like she like probably didn't manifest it. Like it's going to happen. Like I don't know why she wouldn't. Her voice is so unbelievably good. Yeah, she'd be great. And she would be so good.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Okay, we're going to do it. We're going to do it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Well, you and Claude, every time you come on, and I mean this honestly, I love it, but also your numbers, yours and Claude's numbers, pull as hard as a literal John Stamos or a Taylor Lautner, just so you know. I think that the best episode we've ever done, numbers-wise, was Hilary Duff.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
That was a wonderful recap. Honestly, all of those guys are friends. Craig and I obviously are very close, and he's the best. But having spent a lot of time with Austin, he's also really great. And having spent a lot of time with Shep, he's also really great.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Both. Both. So whenever I go to South Carolina.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I think that based on what you're telling me, it seems like they're closer now. Yeah. But I never noticed them not being close.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No. We would play golf together and have a good time. Yeah, no, it didn't. And like I just they're they're all great. And all that I'll say on the Craig addiction stuff, just because I want to talk about it, is he came on Good Guys like 14 months ago and basically spoke about this. And so the fact that this is like now new news that people are talking about, I know that it's in the storyline.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But like we've known for a while that I like hard alcohol is something that doesn't agree with Craig, which is actually why he loves Spritz Society, because it's a low alcohol wine based product. Like you'll see he drinks beer. He drinks wine like these like lower these lower ABV products. He drinks the higher stuff. He just it just doesn't agree with him.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I know, which, like, I don't know what you people are doing. But it's, like, weird watching. Like, I don't watch Southern Charm because when I do, it's just weird. I can't explain it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It's just weird because I know all of the guys. Yeah. Like, really know them. And, like, to, like, see... Not that the drama is by any means fake. It's just, like... I just, like, I can't relate to it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like, I don't know. Like, I... They're just all really nice guys, at least in my experience.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, I have not met Craig's bees, but like Craig, like back to Megan Markle, like Craig really, like in terms of like gardening, in terms of beekeeping, in terms of like, I would rather learn from Craig how to do all of those Martha Stewart-esque things than Megan. Yeah.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, I'm going to talk about it because it's never going to actually happen. But like I wanted to pitch a show with Craig called Straight Guys Throwing Dinner Parties where Craig does everything as it relates to the tablescape and I do everything in the kitchen. And I don't know more than that what it is, but it's like a straight guy's version of Queer Eye.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
And I thought it could have been really fun. I love that. I thought it could have been really fun. And I just think that he with showing down south and just everything that he's accomplished, seeing like a behind the scenes look at Craig.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
He works so unbelievably hard, has such a great team and like really is just like a great businessman entrepreneur and is like a trusted source in the home making sector.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
My personal favorite to talk to is a comedian named Miss Pat. She's on BET. She's literally like the queen of my life. I'm obsessed with her. Obsessed. She would be such a good guest co-host for The Toast. You would have so much fun with her. Oh, my gosh.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Like I would watch it. Even if I wasn't on it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, probably. I know. I know. Yeah, I'd still watch it. I'd still watch it.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I'd be a little sour.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
You're going to get cast instead of me.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, probably not. But, like, you never know.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I met JT at a party. I don't know. Oh, my God.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Um, because we have all this Spritz stuff to do.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, no, no, no, no. The, the party was in New York at carriage house for the season 10 opening of, or a premier party for Southern charm that Spritz society sponsored. That's when I met JT. It was a quick drive by.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Hi, darling. I'm doing not so great either. Like, we're a sick household.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
She's hysterical.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Really good. Concise. Not too concise. Pretty long-winded.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Yeah, let me clarify. You give a great long-winded recap.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Would you like me to go first? Do you want to go first?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
My Queenie is and will always be my wife.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
No, but like watching her be pregnant, like she's doing such a good job. It's so hard. You know how hard it is. But like she's doing so good and she has so many great days. And like even when she's not having a great day, like she's willing herself to have a better day. Like she she really is just just the best and doing amazing things and growing a child inside of her.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Got it. So yeah, the comedian Miss Pat, she's amazing. Loved having her on. And we just had, do you know who the Queen of Melrose is?
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
And that's like really, really wild. Um, so she's my queenie and then my weenie has to be me because I got my pregnant wife sick. Like that's just like not acceptable.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I don't know. So then maybe my weenie is her friends. It's whoever got her sick.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
But, like, I'm sick, Jackie. How is it not her? How is it not me? That's true. It has to be. Even though, like, I don't think sinus infections are contagious. But, like, it's either me. It's whoever got my pregnant wife sick is a weenie.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
like you know but like still has like three great songs yeah like i think unfortunately like gen z took a chokehold of teenage dirtbag but like weedus should have been cheap and like i should have been able to get weedus for like 25 grand but because gen z loves that song they're probably like 500 grand but what songs they have besides teenage dirtbag jackie It's just weedus.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
Okay, so the Queen of Melrose is a queen on Melrose.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I thought you were a rocker. I guess I thought wrong.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
A little bit.

You know, I think that they would just rather die than take something that might save their lives. It's very possible. I don't know. I don't know. I haven't spoken to enough of the community. But in my community, Jackie, in the central medicine community, we do our best. We do our best to get to the root of the problem before it becomes too big. And unfortunately, I waited a little bit too long.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
I had it for about a month. I was taking all my stuff, Jackie. Quick defense by Gaia Herbs. If the toasters aren't on it, they got to be on it. We're talking elderberry. We're talking echinacea.

The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
It was a win-win, I guess. I don't know. Just like the amoxicillin hit me, the juice, the tea hit me. I was being hit from all sides. And yes, I've had immunity juice. I had your immunity juice. It was too viscous. It wasn't for me. I didn't want a Bloody Mary. I want something thinner.
The Toast
Throwing The Rule Book Out The Window with Ben Soffer: Friday, March 7th, 2025
