Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Well, you did intimate or you did sort of preview that we were in New York together last week. What a dream. A dream. But we were going to go Schwitz and Colt Plunge and the Great Live Method. And I had a feeling because I could just see my little mensch, my little tatala. He was not feeling his best. And so around five, he said, I'm out. Can't do it. I said, OK.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
So I did this wonderful talk at Meta. Heard of it. And and then I you know what? I treated myself to a show. Just a nice one of one, me out, party of one, a show. Me, Denzel Washington, and Jake Gyllenhaal. How good was Denzel? I've been telling this story because I really can't stop thinking about the show. It was amazing. So Denzel and Jake Gyllenhaal are doing Othello on Broadway.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And it's amazing because you... The curtain comes up and Jake Gyllenhaal's on stage and he was excellent, like fabulous. And he gets a big round of applause. But about 10 minutes in, Denzel walks on stage and people lose their minds. Like I would. It's really special. And the best part was this older woman, lovely from Connecticut, of course, is next to me.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And she goes, I've been waiting six months for this. Yeah. I bought this ticket on American Express early. I'm so excited. I go, me too. I bought mine an hour ago on StubHub. For half. Less, less.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
third row the best oh my god wow I thought about you because I know how you get Nick's tickets like 10 minutes before right oh you didn't even tell me so you ended up getting a great deal beyond it was 150 bucks with like 30 bucks in fees for a single ticket in the third row of the theater
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Oh, you only do that on StubHub. I do that on Google Flights. I do that on a hotel. I check up to like an hour before. Oh, my God. I didn't even think about that.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Love you. Convincing. But yes, what? God, this would be such a good question, Paige. Well, we can remember this. I think we should do a double pregnant.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Flights go up, but hotels sometimes go down depending on how occupied they are. Interesting. Yeah. All right. So Othello, did you meet Denzel? No, I didn't. But I'm sitting there and she's so excited. And then it's the first act. And the first act's about 90 minutes before the intermission. And so the intermission begins and the woman turns to me and goes, I'm not sure I love it. Yikes!
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Because it was obviously it's Othello and it's Denzel. So they updated it to like more modern era. Of course, they don't mess with the writing at all. It's Shakespeare. But they modernized it the way we've seen, you know, a dozen times before. She goes, I thought they were going to be in costume. I think she thought it was going to be like, to me or not to me.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I was like, oh, honey, you picked the wrong production. She's like, I think I'm going to go. And I'm like, okay. She leaves halfway through? I actually respected that. Like, if it ain't for her, you don't got to suffer through an extra half, right?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Look, I'm not speaking on a journey here because I have a deep love and respect for Adam Sandler and everyone involved in those movies. Those movies are car wrecks. I mean, they're beyond bad. Even the first one, right?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
OK, so Paige's mic is live now. Why is it? I think that, as Ben mentioned with the wonderful Queen Claudia, my queen, Paige, that I am so, so blessed to be with. That whenever we have to go out of town for any reason whatsoever, we have to pay. You have to make us pay. Yes, it's true.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I'm a fan of the man. I'm a fan of Kevin James as a person. I've not watched too much of his work outside of, I've not watched too much of his work, but I like him as a dude. But you've seen King of, have you seen any King of Queens or no? We covered this last week. Not really.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I guess you didn't see any of them. I love Jerry. But yeah, I'm not. And obviously, like.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Nothing. I told you. I led you. We did this game last week, Paige, where I was like, I'm not actually. And by that, I mean, I have seen an episode or two, but I don't actually like it. Like Friends, Seinfeld, The Office, King of Queens. Yeah.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Clearly. I love it. Olivia, you ever walked out of a film?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
The most absurd thing is you were 13 in 2013. Whoa.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
We're old. I mean, I'm definitely old. You're born in the 90s, kid. So is my wife. I'm 80s. Yeah, but like 80s is cool, man. Like you're ill.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I am fascinated by that. Like it is something I really, really try hard not to do is to anyone who's like a generation before me. And especially with my kids of like back in my day type shit, it was better in my day type shit. I mean, literally people will say things like, oh, that's valid or that's Sigma. And I want to end myself.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I want to be like, if you talk like that again in front of me, I'm going to laugh in your face. But I'm like, Were they thinking that when I was like, oh, word, that's dope. Like, yo, that's mad crazy. Or like, right? No, because those are cool. It's that's cool lingo.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
so right yeah it was cooler josh it was cooler you could also kind of grow in private whereas like now your journey throughout life as exhibited in your social media every friend who follows you is like oh they're going through like an awkward you know stage 100 yeah too much judgment Has Max started, Max said bro for a minute and we like put a stop to that immediately, right Paige?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah, but I... Is that true? I mean, I get to see you and got to go see a show when I was in New York. So it's, you know, obviously there's some fun things too, but... And I'm just like, who's better than me? You know, I'm not at some sports bar eating wings and ogling girls' ta-tas and, you know, screaming for the Patriots. I'm here working.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
What if baby, Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem, baby software is into like extreme sports? I'm talking skateboarding. I'm talking base diving. Like, would that?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Was it a part of your personality, John? I was just looking for anything to distract from my size. It was just a walking magic trick. Oh, look at over here. What's over here in my ear? I remember that I had rollerblades, but I was also too fat to grind. But I wanted to project that I knew what was up.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
So whenever we'd pass a skate shop, like at the mall or whatever, whoever I was with, I was like, oh, wait one sec. Like, got to see something. And so I would go in and I would ask them, I'd be like, do you have grind plates? Which were the plates you put on over your bearings to protect your skate from all your grinding. And they would go, yeah, yeah, we do. And I'd be like, cool.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And they'd be like, do you want them? And I'd be like, not right now. I'm just checking inventory.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
We have covered this. Yes, I was too fat to blade, but... To blade! I did. I did blading in New York and then one because I was sort of like reasonably overweight. And then around 14 in the craft service at Drake and Josh is when I put on an extra 50 on top of the already 50. And that's when she put a stop to it because of compound fractures.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
You're doing the least. I also feel like, are you very, like, I feel like a big cheerleader when Paige, and she doesn't do it as much as I do, but when she does go out with her friends or has a trip, I am like, rah, rah, cheerleader.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Just gizmo gadget store. So good. Oh, I loved it. I loved it. Should we get to some stories? Yeah. Do we have anything big going on? Is there anything like big gossipy in the pop culture? Anything you're talking about with your sisters and your group chat with Maddie page?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Well, here's one. Empty nesters spice up 25 year marriage by meeting new woman, becoming a throuple. Our kids love their new bonus, mom. I always call us empty nesters. Sorry. Bianca and Phillip Luna were about to become empty nesters when they decided to include a third person in their relationship. The Texas couple fell in love with Delaine Diem and became a closed triad or a throuple.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
We like to call it the power of three. When we work together, we can knock out pretty much anything.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Phillip, 52, and Blanca, 49, had been married 25 years, during which they had a wonderful time being a family and raising their three children. But it was time to spice things up. We started trying to meet other couples, just trying to date. For me, it was figuring out my sexuality. How much am I willing to explore with my husband there? And how open are we about having this conversation?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
They met Delane in 2017. She's very intriguing. Very gorgeous. Yeah, they're crushing it. They're up a close triad. Be each their own. Good for them. Good for them.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
They need this. They need that. Oh, you're paying. Speaking of, Jessie from Mormon Wives hit me up this morning. She's ready to come on in April for season two of Mormon Wives.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Okay, that's good, right? Yeah, that'll be fine. Fantastic. Fantastic. Love. Well, also, there could be a dead passenger on your next flight. It's a lot more common than you think. Suppose you board a plane more than a couple times a year. Chances are good you've flown the friendly skies with a dead body for company.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
With the spooky scenario making headlines more than once already in 2025, most recently after a couple flying on cutter airways wound up sharing their row with a blanket-draped corpse for hours, passengers can't help but wonder if they're next to find themselves uncomfortably close to an abnormally quiet seatmate.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah. They ordered the pasta and I really wanted to try it. It's okay. Can you bring that? It's already heated up. Well, men fall in love almost twice as fast as women. New research reveals. Here's how quickly it happens. The findings reveal that the average man takes a little over four weeks to fall head over heels, while women move much more slowly at 1.92 months. It's almost a double.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Let me ask you this. Is there a code amongst friends where you have your friend? Let's say they're like a really like a strong five, right? They're not a piece. But they're just they're shooting too high outside of their their demo, like their their weight class as far as looks go. You ever tell them you ever go like, you know, Janine, you're a five. You know, it's interesting.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yes. No, like, listen, I wonder if I... I don't know if I've ever taken the equivalent to a golf trip. Have I?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
You're saying life has a way of beating you up. I think so. Sure.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Oh, there's nothing that makes me happier than when like really pretty people hit that age of like, and by that, I mean, this mostly applies to women, but like when they hit that age of like early thirties and they still haven't found, they're like, you know, Kevin Costner, they're like perfect 10 and looks 10 in the bank, 10 in the job. And then they settle. They start settling. That's so hot.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
But that's a stretch. Like, you're not a waifu, Gentile supermodel. But if you were like, let me think of a stretch. Who's your top locator? Vince Vaughn. You're better looking than Vince Vaughn. But let's say that. No, let's go with your, like, if you said John Mayer, I'd be like, that's a stretch, but you're in the ballpark. Right. I appreciate you.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
My big brother who lives in Florida does come out for something called the Big Smoke, which is the cigar convention in Las Vegas. Wow. Sick. And he goes with all his buddies. And so I will usually fly out. Yeah, usually once a year. Recently, it's been fly out, fly back, same day. Wow. Yeah.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And for you, oh, who is your doppelganger? Leno. Jay Leno. No. Who's your actual, like. Granny, Vinny, Vinny Chase. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's like me at my best.

Good Guys

There's something weird when it's like. When it's like Frank Cepheopian marinade.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Melinda's Thai sweet chili. Frank Cepheopian marinade.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
What about like, couldn't you get someone a great, this would be probably a hundred bucks.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
But in the past, it'd be like 24 hours, and I'd go, we'd eat some meals, schvitz, have a cigar or seven, and I'd lose $100 at Blackjack.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I think you set the woman up and you get there early. You do a background that she wouldn't know you're in your office and you bring a little pashmina, some kind of shawl, some kind of blanket, wrap it around yourself and you FaceTime her, right? The moment you're supposed to be walking in, you go...
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I've got, you know, whatever. I've got scarlet fever. And you just go, you were right. I'm so sick. I'm dying. And I should have worn my coat all those times you mentioned it. And she goes, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I know I tried to tell you. You're right. You're right. And then you storm out of your office and go, what are you, nuts? I'm fine. Stop it. Stop it.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I love a setup. An elaborate prank joke. Yes. And then it's over. That's what she needs. It's over. Yes. End it yourself. Checkmate this woman. End her. Yes.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And even though, like today, right, like we're freezing in L.A., in actuality, it's 55. It's chilly, but it's 55. So, yeah, if you don't have a jacket on, like, it's not the end of the world. And I looked this up because I suspected, and it is true. No, cold weather alone does not make you sick.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
However, cold weather can create conditions and make it easier for viruses and other pathogens to spread and cause illness. That's right, mom. I'm not putting a hat on. I'm not going to get sick. Correct. Correct. I know.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It was something about wearing like a full down. I mean, you know, where we live by the beach. So it drops below 60 and people are like, oh, thank God. Let me get out my Canadian goose. I'm like, let me get my Montclair. Are you well? I know they just want a cute layering moment. I'm like, hun, or like it'll rain for 11 minutes. And I'll be like, oh, word. The hunter rain boots are coming out.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Nuts. Too good. Too good. Should we get to our What Are You Nuts? Yes. Our What Are You Nuts moment of the week are our gripes with people, places, and things, both big and small, whatever's sticking in your craw. Ben, take it away.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
The open secret about cigars or so I've heard is the longer, girthier ones are actually usually smoother. Because if you think about like a longer rifle barrel, right? Or a penis. Maybe, but like the shorter ones are like you get because it's closer to where it's ignited. The punch comes in harder, but if it's longer, it has a longer time to cool down and kind of smooth out.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It's like a smoothed over, like almost like a limestone. Like it's the way it's carved.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah, it's like built into like the side of the hill. The structure. No good. Josh, what about you? My what are you nuts is super petty and super short, but you know how people will go, oh, your name's Florence? My grandmother's name was Florence. Who cares? Who cares? What are you nuts?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It's so good. There's so many things we say and it's like, who cares?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
A longer one or a darker one would be called a Maduro in some respects, which is more of like an H or like an Anejo. Did I just channel Hilaria Baldwin? How do you say Anejo?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I had no idea. I'm not really an aficionado. Like I'll smoke one every month and a half, either with my wonderful father-in-law and my brother-in-law. We'll watch UFC fight and we'll smoke and or or with my big brother. But otherwise, like I can't ever push myself to really do it. But I like it. I like the vibes. I like a clubhouse.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Fuck yes. I like smoking during a meal. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in. What's the perfect meal to smoke to?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Yeah, or I think, like, I think about where people, like, Asian countries do smoke a lot. But I think about, like, Middle Eastern food, right?
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck

Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck

Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Is hookah making a comeback? First of all, hookah is hot, hot, hot. And I just like the process, the hot coals. We used to go for hookah every week, and we would get double apple mint. Oh, so good. Damn it.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
I love it. We need hookah. We need more hookah, Josh. well you are omitting that i was we would first nourish before we nourished our lungs we would nourish our spirit at a at a men's only 12-step meeting of alcoholics anonymous me and the bros from 8 to 9 30 in the evening we'd go there first and then we would go to a little spot called the spot
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Which is an outdoor hookah lounge, which is the hottest hookah lounge in all of the San Fernando Valley.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
It was chicken. The chicken and cheese nachos were off the hook, but mostly we would do like a... A typical Persian Middle Eastern food plate, like a chicken sultani, a kube de beef. And then with like the nice rice, the Shirazi salad, a charred tomato. And you obviously had your own tips for the hookah, right? They give you, yeah, they give you disposable tips.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
And yeah, it's all outdoors and it's the effing coolest. And there are armed guards because you cannot trust the people who are smoking there. Yeah. It's such a vibe.
Good Guys
Love is NOT Blind with Paige O'Brien Peck
Number one bad for you. Is it the worst? Is it the worst thing for you? Very bad. No filter. Not good. NG. Not good. Sorry. What were you saying, Paige?

Oh, my God. I can't speak really because my wife's literally sitting across from me. You have to. I was going to say, what's it like just being watched as you record? The wonderful Paige O'Brien Pack is here with me, but she has healthy boundaries and doesn't need to be in front of the spotlight every second.

Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Queen, I fell in love with you on the Out and About podcast, the great Joey Camasta. But this is, you're having a moment, aren't you?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I think we'll see. They definitely don't. Neither of them are looking great right now. But I think Ben's wife, who has a big pod, you'll have to go on her pod when she comes out to L.A. or you're in New York, much bigger than ours. If that's even possible. Really? Crushes it. Ben. I know.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
She and her co-host, her sister Jackie, brought up a great point. They're like, if you have to ask how much she weighs, you can't lift her.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
You can't ballpark this person? Wait, he asked her how much she weighs? Or the trainer or something, but apparently it kept getting back to her.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Do you think the LA food is as good as New York? No.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Yes. So tell us about, we are a very pro smoking podcast and you are clearly pro smoke. Tell us about your smoking journey where you brought in this new pack of American spirits. I've never seen this before. Are these made specifically for the queen of Melrose?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
You ever smoked the ultralights and the silver pack?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Yes. Smoked the 100s. Did you smoke before ever? Played some Mahjong. Of course, I'm a drug addict.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
So now like Ben and I can attest maybe, you know, once a month, every other month, like I can smoke a stogie and not, you know, not trip on it.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
And that's like a ritual, right? You sit outside, you have a stoop. What are we talking?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Oh, speaking of, we're entering into Lent. We are, yes, we are. As a wonderful Catholic, tell us, what are you giving up? Nothing.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Ben, could you, I mean, Ben is semi-kosher. He doesn't eat pork and he tries to be observant. What would be the thing you'd give up for the 40 days, Ben? Wow, 40 days. Is that right? I'm married to a Catholic. I'm married to an O'Brien.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Yes. What would you give them? Do I have a third on the way? Do they have your eyes? They do. Here, you want to see it? Let me see the babies. They're gorgeous.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Yes. And Ben's about to have his first in May, a beautiful boy.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose

Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Ben's from Harlem too. He's from 62nd and Madison. What?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
We should get to a story because the New York Post, our local newspaper, has a story that goes, My boyfriend has a micropenis, and here's what our perfect sex is like. The girlfriend of a man brutally mocked by his mates for having a micropenis has leapt to his defense, stating, No complaints in the bedroom department here.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Penny Talbot said of her boyfriend, I don't know why she had to name him, of two years, Jake. But said everything is A-OK. He is at a lovely 2.9 inches. And she said for her, it's not just about penetration and climax, but the foreplay and everything that leads up to that. And yeah, they're having a great time. Really?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Speaking of, we have an obsession here with the great Shaquille O'Neal because the man knows how to make a dollar. And we respect that. He'll do a corporate gig, what have you. You've worked with him.
