Chapter 1: What is the significance of the Times Square billboard?
Hi, Ben. Speaking of making it, Josh. Yeah, yeah. You saw our billboard. You saw this billboard. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't bring it up sooner. It is so epic. When I tell you, you have no idea how big this billboard is until you actually see it. If you guys haven't seen it, you missed it because we can't afford more than a week.
And by afford, I mean we got it for free, but we couldn't afford more than a week anyways. What?
It's only one week?
One week. It runs for one week. This is this ad. Well, there's two things, Josh, running at the same time. This ad in Times Square is right next to where the ball drops. Forty third and seven. We had a good guy's video with what are you not? Just what are you nuts? Vertically was running, Josh. Ten stories. The full video probably ran 30 stories. This is like a 40 story massive.
What are you nuts? Me and you being goons. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. And then separately, Link NYC, you'll notice throughout the entire city is running the exact same ad on all of those used to be telephone areas that are now just screens. Link NYC is running that video to both of them. Josh, we got it.

Chapter 2: How did Josh's mother's newsletter feature the podcast?
Well, I don't want to be in a contest here, but we're also in my mother's assisted livings newsletter this week.
Sorry, Ben. I'm going to need a picture of that. I'm going to need a picture of that.
Prove it didn't happen. Barbara, our esteemed resident, her son is a bit of a sugar. And... He has a AM radio internet show with his other sugar friend, and they're both rotund.
God, I'm happy that we're doing Barb again. What a voice. So good.
Once in a generation. Thank God. Anyway, dude, can we do a best bite of the week real quick? Please. I have. I have one. Go. The other night I went to a restaurant in Beverly Hills called La Doce Vida.

Chapter 3: What was the best bite of the week?
La Dolce Vita. I've heard, I've heard.
This place, this was an institution in Beverly Hills for many years. And then I think they kind of did like a refresh. I mean, this was out of control. I went with my West Coast Ben, Len. We went and let me tell you, I'm going to walk you through this because I had already done what all Jews do, which is I pre-planned. Okay, I did homework on the restaurant. I got my intel.
These people, they sit down, they peruse the menu for 30 minutes. It's not changing. You know, this is not SAT prep. Order, be ready. He's here, order. So first, beautiful bread basket arrives. The vibe on this place, I feel like I was in the Lucchese crime family, allegedly. Then they do a table side Caesar. You know we love table side. The best.
They're making it rain freshly grated Parmesan on this thing beyond. Then we do some apps. We do a shrimp fra diavolo. Beautiful. And then, and these are really, these are proper shrimp. These are like, these are shrimp on those Barry Bonds drugs. You know, that good, good, right? All juiced up. These shrimp, they had to get a bigger hat when they were in their mid thirties, which is normal.
I'm not on it. I'm not on steroids, MLB.
As Ina Garten would call them, 12-count shrimp, Josh. 12 to a pound. Okay, 12 to a pound. Continue.
That's right. That's right. And then we order that. And then we order, and this is not, this is, I think, really ubiquitous on the East Coast, but you don't see it as much in LA. And shout out Winter Vegetables. We had an artichoke, but a stuffed artichoke. The best. Oh, in like a lemon butter type piccata. You think I'm done with piccata? I'm not done with piccata.
Then the mains, a limon bucatini in almost like a light cream lemon sauce. My favorite. That bucatini bullies spaghetti when no one's looking. That bucatini has negative talk to spaghetti and goes, you call yourself a noodle?
Can we pause on lemon pasta, Josh? Lemon pasta, I'm sorry. Lemon pasta is it. It's it.

Chapter 4: How does Ben describe his trip to Vermont?
I was in Middlebury, Vermont. That is where we do Spritz Society production. Did about a million cans. Just saying crazy news coming in March. Yeah, it was huge. It was huge. But in the middle of the day, Josh, I had to pop out and grab myself a bite. And I looked far and wide and I found...
Apparently the greatest sandwich shop in Vermont happened to be in Middlebury called Noonies, N-O-O-N-I-E-S. And when I tell you, Josh, you walk in and you just know that what you're about to get is it, is it. They have the parchment paper. If you have a sandwich that's being made on parchment paper, you are in for a treat, a treat. I got long sub hoagie, they call it, okay? I went tuna.
They gave me Havarti. Havarti is an incredibly underrated cheese. And if you're making sandwiches with Havarti, you know what you're doing. Shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes. Josh, they had curry mayonnaise. Curry mayo. Whoa. Fantastic.
You just threw a weird wrench in this thing. It was fantastic. I swear. A curry mayo. But don't say that like you're talking about, you know, the days of the week. This is a curveball.
Have you had curry mayo? Never. Josh. Olivia, have you had curry mayo?
I have not.
Okay. The two of you need to go and buy a bottle of Hellman's mayonnaise and a pack of curry. Okay? And I want to see. Curry mayonnaise? You have to like curry. But if you like curry... This is, you're in for a ride. You're in for a ride. It was an unbelievable sandwich. Everything there looked amazing. For first time curry mayo people, okay? I went crazy with the tuna. Try it on turkey.
Have a turkey sandwich, avocado, red onion, curry mayonnaise. Tell me your life hasn't changed. Outrageous.
I believe you. Was there a chip?

Chapter 5: What is the secret behind the best sandwich in Vermont?
Did we involve a chip? No, I could have. But like, it felt so gluttonous. I have this huge sub. I'm not then going to also grab like a Hal's or a, is Hal's soda or Hal's chips? Soda, right?
Yeah, I think it's East Coast too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wasn't going to go and grab a big fat bag of chips, but it definitely would have been better with a little Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar.
Your Harvest Cheddar, man. So is my son. What's your favorite chip? Don't get me started. I like it all, and I like it all under the sun, but I think they live in different worlds. You cannot compare a Frito to any other chip. You can't compare a Dorito to any other chip. No? Am I tripping?
No, no, you're 100% right. Am I out of pocket, as the kids might say? No, the Frito is the world's most versatile chip as well. Yes. The Frito is a vehicle to a sauce where chips typically, you can't dunk a harvest cheddar in anything. Otherwise, you're just a fatso, okay? But the Frito gives you the right to dunk.
That's right.
Yes. And Doritos. My mom loves a Frito. Loves. I remember my mom, she would buy a bag of Fritos with some clam dip. You ever have clam dip? My mom would dunk. She would kill me. She would kill me if I'm telling you this. But she would dunk her Fritos in that clam dip. Ooh, baby. She loved it.
Your mother, her, God bless this beautiful woman with her.
It's insane that she doesn't have gout. You have no idea the things that she eats from where. I also, she'd also kill me for telling the story, but I'm going to tell it anyways. She goes into a deli, Josh. This is probably, I don't know, whenever the listeria breakout was with Boar's Head. Okay. She goes into a deli. Okay. And on, there's a sign that says, but warning, there was a breakout here.

Chapter 6: What happened during Ben's trip to Jacksonville?
Oh, yes. I don't care anymore.
Have you been to Jacksonville though?
I'm sure it's fine.
All that I have to say is to the great people of Jacksonville, you're lovely. It's an international airport. It's only an hour and 45 minutes from the city. There is a beach. There's just also a lot of dirt and crime and mobile homes. But the beach is lovely. And I don't know why we don't use it more. It's very close. Just saying.
Jacksonville is great. And what's great is one of Cat Williams Netflix specials. I don't know if he was a little light on material. And I only say this because I am one of the biggest Cat Williams fans on earth. He's hilarious. I think he was recently on Theo Vaughn and he introduced him as some people say he's the Black Oracle. He's spectacular. He is a once in a lifetime talent. I love him.
But it was a Netflix special that he shot in Jacksonville. He did 25 minutes at the top of his special crowd work about Jacksonville. And I'm like, you know, everyone doesn't live in Jacksonville, right? He's like, he's like, how about Davy street? Yeah.
crowd loves it when you're like cat i can't i don't know what that is i'm actually i'm i'm always so impressed though when comics are able to do that not in jacksonville like it's cool in jacksonville but like when you watch the schultz stuff and he's in a different fucking country and he's making them laugh because of like random cultural references that he studied like that's genius level comedy genius
yeah it's also just like there is whenever i would do a college gig and i've done quite a bit over the years i would always do recon with the students i'd be like give me like two inside jokes on campus about like and i could always like sort of lean on like where's the bar that you go drink what's annoying let me guess parking as far as i can tell there's not good parking in any university in the great country of america they they don't like that and they don't like the food
And whenever I bring that up in front of the students and I figure out a way to hopefully make it funny, their faces melt. They're like, how the hell does Josh know about, you know, I don't know. Olivia's here. Bearcat Tuesdays. I don't know. Shout out.

Chapter 8: Why is neurology a hot topic in this episode?
